SALT LAKE. August II. - Nearly all
the women and children living in Cor
inne were sent out Of that place late last
night in anticipation of an attack by In
dians. One company of troops left here
this morning for Corinne. The News, a
Mormon paper, Of tonight says that the
reports OF the hostile bearing of Indians
are only circulated to create feeling
against the Mormons, that the Indians
are there for the purpose of farming and
other peaceful objects. Major Bryant,
Commandant at Camp Douglass, who
has been ut Corinne all day, considers
the situation so threatening as to justify
him in ordering two more companies Of
troops sent there, which will leave here
tomorrow morning.
