Arrest Of Brigham Young under

SALT LAKE CRY, March 10, 1868.

JAAA LAM III AAOA VA 4vs ASVeSs
Judge Kinney this day issued : writ against
Brigham Young. under the Polygamy act of
Congress. It was placed in the hands OF Unit
ed States Marshal Gibbs, who served it not
only without the aid of posse, but alone
waited upon President Young. The writ was
Immediately responded to, and the defendant
personally appeared in Court, and, upon in
yestigation, the Judge held him to bail in the
sum Of $4,000, which was promptly given.
The civil authority can be maintained in Utah
without the aid Of troops.
Commenting upon the above, the New York
Herald says:
The great high priest, apostle, prophet and
potentate Of the Latter Day Saints" has been
indicted, arrested, and, in the sum Of two
thousand. dollars, bound over to answer in q
United States court to certain charges Of high
crimes and 1uisdemeanors in connection with
his patriarchal institution of polygamy.
These proceedings are in accordance with q
law Of Congress abolishing polygamy within
the Territories Of the United States, and pro-
viding heavy pains and penalties against all
offenders. We presume that Brigham has
quietly submitted to court Of justice as pre-
ferable to another visit Of United States sol.

Dear Dispatch We have nothing in the
N. w. army at present calculated either to
interest or instrucs your readers more than
the Yankee programme for the spring and
summer campaign. Iheard from . very ins
telligent scout who remained in their camp
five days, below Charleston, that it was not
their intention to have much infantry this
summer, but effect all possible by cavalry, TO-
do which Pierpont is now organizing soms
seren thousand cavul1y exclusively TO make
raids through our country, and burn the
bridges and destroy as much Of the w. =
Tenn Railroad as possible. The most prsctis
cable routes were engineered of. Our scouts
informed them that the Rocky Gap road WAS
one Of the easiest mountain passes, knowings,
as he remarked to me, that one regiment
could keep back 10000 horssmen at this
point and SO will it be at every other, but IL
is well that we should be we'll posted - 70
their movements, and as the above is strictly
reliable all confidence may be given to it.-~

The safety Of Granl,s ARM.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ca
zette, writing from Grants army, gives
the following assurance of the safety Of
General Grants rear against any stack
by Johnston;
"If he had hundred thousand men it
would be impossible to assist Vieksburg
from the rear. The more men he could
bring, the better for US. lVish our people
to understand this. The country is for fifty
miles, all between the Yazoo and Big
Black, desolste. Our troops have burned
all the corn and pork, all mills, and all
that could contribute to the support of
troops.
The topography Of the country is the
most favorable to defense Of any upon
earth. 1t is q succession Of hills and gull
lies, and there are only three roads by
which an enemy could advance; these are
commanded by hills that could be de-
Tended by a small force against ten times
their number. General Grant has no more
fear of them, has no more doubt of success,
than your readers have of the approach Of
autumn and its golden fruits.
Suppose Johnston should Gomez he
cannot make more than i've miles per day.
He cannot carry more than five days ra-
tions. Where would that carry bim2 He
knows that, and his only hope is in force
from Louisiana and Texas How could
they cross the Mississippi? !? It is futile to
fear, foolish to dread. All is on our side,
right and might"
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1863-06-22

AS the home Of Hon. John Brough, our
distinguished and popular candidate fol
Governor, Cleveland should hold o grand
ratification meeting and secure the pres
ence of Mr.. Brough for one of his eloquent
speeches. 1t is eminently proper that the
campaign should open here. We are all
enthusiastic for the nominee, and would
give him splendid ovation. It is highly
probable, also, that Col. Anderson, the
nominee for Lieutenant Governor, could
also be present He, as well as Mr.
BrOugh, is celebrated for his powers as q
stump speaker. Let US hear from them
both, and open the ball by a mass meeting
second only to that magnificent demonstra-
ton which accompanied the nomination of
these lgentlem en- and their fellow nomi-
