THE AUFHORITI£S OF UTAH—SUPPOSBD DU- PLIOITY OF THE MORMONS—SHAMEFUL ACQUIerAL OF THE MURDBRBRS—OOL. STEPTOE DECLINES TAE GOVEEBNORSHIP OF UTAH. ‘We have received intelligence from Salt Lake City that ‘the chief of the Par-Vant Utahs has delivered up several of his tribe who were concerned in the murder of Capt. )Gunnison, U.S. A., Mr. Kern, of Philadelphia, and others, om the Sevier river, in October, 1863, Shortly after the arrival of Col. Steptoe in Utah that officer made # demand on Can.Osh for the surrender of all those concerned in the affair. According to Indian usage, that chief offered to give up man for man; and Col. Steptoe, out of regard for the defenceless Mormon settlements in the Par-vant country, agreed to receive seven Indians for the white men killed. Matters beng Gnally arraaged, a party, consisting of Major Reynolds, Surgeon Wirts and ‘Lieut. Allston, of the United States Army, and Major Hert, Indien agent, with twen'y-three artillerymen, started from Salt Lake City on the 24th of February to receive the murderers, and reached Fillmore City, the capital of Utah, the headquarters of the Par vant tribe, cn the 28th. Immediately on his arrival, Major Rey- nolds formally demanded the surrender of seven men. Can-Osh was very peaceably intended to fuldil his promise, soldiers were then disposed so as to be ready for any emergency, aud in few hours the whole Par-vant tribe, consisting cf about sixty warriors, entered the maia square cf Fillmore, bringing with them the individuals that were to be given up. Can-Osh then turned over to Major Reynolds four men, a squew who had helped to strip the dead, and a child about three years old. Major Reynolds refused to receive the child, but took charge of the men and the squaw, stating to (an-Osh, through the Interpreter, Mr. Bean, that ho still held him responsible for the delivery in Salt Lake City of the remainder. While the prisoners were being turned over, things at one time wore a very serious aspect, and it was onl the coolnes and well-timed precautions of Major nolds that an outbreak was prevented.
