has recently received such reports from it's of
fcials in Utah regarding the very unsettled con.
diton of affairs in that Territory, growing out
of the enforcement of the laws against polyg-
amy, as to cause some uneasiness, but no alarm
The recent shooting of Mormon by United
States marshal created a great deal of excite
ment among the Mormons, and some apprehen-
sion was felt at Salt Lake that there would be
an uprising among them. A battery OF artillery
was recently ordered from Omaha to Fort Doug
las, which is situated few miles from
Salt Lake City. This movement however.
was not particularly on account of any fear of
Mormon rebellion. but had been in contempla-
ton for some time. The force now at Fort
Douglas consists of full regiment of infantry
and a battery of artillery. and is under command
of Gen. McCook. In the event Of trouble in
Utah, all the troops in the Department of the
Platte, consisting of about three thousand men.
could be concentrated at Fort Douglas in very
few hours. No serious trouble, however, is ap.
pretended by army officials.
