THE MoRMoYs IN TROUBLE.

Governor Shaffer of Utah recently made 8 speech in which heNdeclared that he will give all the aid at his disposal toward the disrup~ ton of ofMormonism, which he terms 'this in- fernal theocracy'' This determine tion, so frankly and fearlessly expressed, has rendered the MoFmons furious and they take not the slightest trouble to conceal their displeasure, but fling defiance and insult at the Governor, and the Gentiles generally with the utm ost daring and rscklessness. The Mormons are evidently determined to resist any measure which the GOvernOA Anay adopt for the over thrOw:Of the 'theOcracy," and more than this, they seem inclined to force matters to crisis by promptly maltreatiug gentiles who stray among them and by offering insult and abuse to military officers. The probability is that they will grow: from bold to bOldSr and boldest and necsssitate the active interference of the government to establish among them . sense oftheir dependence and proper respect for the only laws under which.they can be permit ted to enjoy freedom in Utah.

RETROGRRSsION.

Several ofthe rsncheros of the Sonoita San ta Cruz and Sag Pedro valleys are ct present remaining in town, and from conversation with them re have gathered information which we do not, indeed, feel any satisfaction in record~ ing. They freely acknowledge their inability to longer contend againsG the heavy disadvan- tages wh ch bcset their pathway to improve ment aud progress. The farmer, when he goes to his field to labor, Is obliged to pot only bur. then himself with arms, but likewise to take with him an armed escort of one or two men to protect him while he blows his field or gath CTS in his corn this is actually the manner in which farming is carried on at the Santa Cruz valley, in the neighoorhood of Tubac On the Sonota valley, since the removal of the cavalry company from Camp Crittenden, the prospects of the farmers are hardly brighter than on the Santa Cruz. The people have discovered that they struggle in vain ;Tthat the profits of 6 whole years labor are frequently swept away in single hour, and with them, very frequent ly, the lives of m any of those who have been the bone and sirew of the country.
 Ths San Pedro valley has been forced to succumb single farm of all that extensive valley remains tenanted-and that, too, will be abandoned as soon as the crops now maA turing shall have been secured.
 Those of the farmers with whom we have conversed-Mr Wooster of Santa Cruz, Mr. Gardener oG Sonoita, and others--avow de- sermiuation on tue part of the settlers to avo- late from those dangerous neighborhoods the coming fall if protection be still withheld from them
 To those who struggle, in any capacity what ever, for the peace, progress aud development of the Territory, the condition of our herolc, pioneer farmers is a subject which is truly galuc to contemplate: taxed, out not pros tected robbed, but never reimbursed mur- deraI, and unAvenged, thelr fate could not be more terrible were anarchy reigning in the halls of government and an appropriate em- blem streaming from every 1T ast-head in the land
 But Va have not patience to pursue this suo- feet further Ths desolatioD of our valleys may get be averted, and it now remains 10 be seen whether an effort will be made to protect and preserve them intact There is nothing impossible in this we have sufficient troops in the Territory to protect our industry, provid. ed they abandon the subjugation policy and adopt policy strictly protective. It is hard that Territory provertial for its richness and salubrity of climate, may not become the home of a civilized, people when the hostility of a few bands Of naked savages is the only barrier .nterposed
