coming season. And from the reports Of
our friends, with whom We hare con

various portions Of the Territory, we have
but little doubt that al abundant harvest
win be reaped BY the farmers or Utah the

seems to Indicate the presumption The
early part Of the spring was quite favor
able for early sowing, and the seasonahle
rains up to the present time have been all
that could lie desired. The fields now
look more promising for q bonntiful haFs

slider a reliable source, we are Informed
that i fight has taken place between =
party Of whites and Indians out on the
middle route only a few days since. Cur
informant states that i Mr.. Peter Melee,
The keeper Of the Fish Spring mail sta-
ton. left il with his family ut the begin-
ming Of thu Indian difficulty, and started
for the settlements: that on his way In,
he met Major Egan Iii Rush Valley, nc
compaIied by ZONE troops that had been
ordered to the relief of the employees on
the stage line. Major Egan requested
Mr.. Neicc to SO with the troops, which
he did, leaving bis wife at the settlement
there. They proceeded ON their way.
Neicc reports that fight had taken
place, and that several men were killed;
| that Col. Smith, Of Davis county, and his
company, had lost all their toek, Mr..
Melee, By travelling round the west side
iof Salt Lake, reached Ogden City last
Tuesday night Whether the troops and
Major Egail had engaged the Indians, or
that Col. Smith or some other party had
ldone SO, we cannot tell; or how Mr..
Niece reached Ogden City after having
so recently left Rush Valley to return
west, we are not able to divine, The
report needs confirmation
