The Army and the Morrnons.

The war department has recently
received such reports from the officials
in Utah, regarding the very unsettled
condition of affairs III the territory
growing out of the enforcement Of the
laws against polygamy, as to cause
some uneasiness but no alarm. The
recent shooting of a Mormon by 3
United States marshal created great
deal of excitement among the Mormons
and some apprehension was felt at
Salt Lake that there would be an up
rising among them. A battery Of
artillery was recently ordered from
Omaha to Fort Douglass, which is
situated a few miles from Salt Lake
City. This movement, however, was
not particularly on account of any fear
OF Mormon rebellion, but had been
in contemplation for some time. The
force now at Fort Douglass consists of
full regiment ofinfantry and . battery
of artillery, and is under command Of
Gen. McCook. In the event oftrouble
in Utah all the troops in the depart
ment ofth Platte, consisting Of about
5000 men, could be concentrated at
Fort Douglass in very few hours.
No serious trouble, however, is appre-
hended by army officials.
