As an instance of these, I may specify one which is by no means the most absurd. When the general orders from the headquarters of the army for Utah for the establishment of three new posts in Territory reached Salt Lake City, the circumstance that they wore to be “double ra | tion posts’? excited the utmost indignation. Supposing that it meant all the garrisons as well as the commanding officers were to draw double rations, laughable as it may appear, it is a fact that they believed that the extra ration ‘was to be furnished to each soldier, to enable him to marry and support a wife, whom, of course, he would se- duce from among oe. Capt. Van Viiet found this illu- sion universal: valent. In coasideraticn of the journey of Dr. Bernhisel to Wash hile affairs are in such’a condition among his con- stituency, I feel bound to send you the following informa tion concerning the mode of his election, for the accuracy of which I do not vouch, for it is not of my personal kno\ ledge, but for which Tend you privately my authority. It bas been stated to mo that on the Sunday the day fixed by law for the lection, Brigham Young rose in the Sowers , Where an audience of several thousand was collected, and spoke substantially to this effect:— Brethren, to-morrow, you know, is the day to vote for delegate to Congress, +o the law says. But I don’t see why to day isn’t just as holy, and why wo shouldn't take a vote day. Brother Bernhisel, brethren, has done well enough in Congress, though nobody’s of much use there, and if it’s worth while to sond anybody to Washington, i guess we might as well send him back; if he can’t do us any good, he won’t do us any harm. So all you that are in favor of sending brether Bernhise! back will ploase rise. somata. the whole audience rose. The next day, at the cleetion, but few votes were cast, and those all for Dr. Bernhisel, if boing felt to be useless to oppose him although he is said to be very unpopular in Salt Lake City. if ldo Dr. Bernhisel any wrong by this narration, Iam sure you will de willing to correct anything which ho shall prove to be inaccurate. As another item, which I have neglected to insert in its proper connection, it is reported that the Mormons have taken prisoners two men belonging to Dr. Magraw’s party , ‘whe were sent on business toward Salt Lake City. IMMIGRATION ON THE PLAINS—THE MORMON HAND- CARTS. CA 1. [From the Huron (Ohio) Reflector. } Mr. Henry Buckingham, of Norwalk, Huron county, who went to Oregon seven yours ago, has returned by the overland route, making the journey by way of California in a little over one hundred days. Mr. B. gives the following memorandum of the number of emigrants, cattle, horses, sheep and wagons that had passed the Devil’s Gate this season, as kept at the Mor- mon mail station :— Emigrants. 12,500 Wagons ‘350 Cattie. 67,000 Horses and mules (al L2'500 Sheep... .... 0,000 ‘There’ were several large droves of caitle taken on speculation, but as a general thing the emigrants took only what they thought they would need on the Plains, and for a good start when they got there. I noticed a few fine blooded cattle. About fifty wagons would have gone the Oregon route, but were afraid of the Indians. Nearly all the emigrants went by Soda Springs to avoid Mormondom. ‘here did not seem to be much love between the Mormons and Mis- sourians. The Mormon emigration is not included in tho abovo list, which Mr. B. thinks did not exceed 1,000. He thus deseribes the new ay may J power which ‘the Lord re vealed unto the Later-Day Saints by the Prophet Brigham” last year, whereby a saint can become a ‘perfect hos”? on the Plains—a band cart train! It was certainly the most novel and interesting sight I have seen for many a day. We met two trains—one of thir- ty and the other fifty carts—-averaging about six to the cart. ¢ carts were generally drawn by one man and three women cach, though some carts were drawn by women alone. There were about three women toone man, and two- thirds of the women single. It was the most motley crew le beheld. Most of them were Danes, with a sprit ling of Welsh, Swedes and English, and were generally from the lower classes of their countries; scarcely one could speak English plain; most could not understand what we said to then. The road was lined for a mile or two behind the trains, with tho lame, halt, sick and needy. Many were quite aged and would be going slowly along supported by 8 son or daughter: some were on crutches: now and then @ mother with a child in her arms and two or three banging hold of her, with a forlorn appearance, would pass slowly along; others whose condition entitled them to a first class seat in a carriage, were wending their way through the sand. A few seemed in good spirits, journeying to the promised land; but the majority thought “Jordan a "Th can bodega of the Pacific wagon ¢ advance party of surveyors of the road, Was met atthe South Pass, August 16. The main party wore at Fort Laramie, August 25, and it was expect: ed they would winter at Fort Hall. The advance provision train of the Utah expedition was met August 20 at the Devil's Gate, and Mr. B. thinks it is the intention to winter on Green River, or at Fort Bridger. He found settlements ‘aud the Mormon Ford, on Green River, seven hund: mon under arms. On hearing of the loss of the trains, Colonel Alexander, who was encamped on the Ham’s Fork, sent Captain Marcy, with four hundred men, back to Green River, and enabled the teamsters to collect their eatile and tke them on to headquarters. He alvo sent on a Frenchman to us. On the next day they ordered a Mr. Fickiin, of Captain MoGraw’s party prisoners. These ‘were men sent by McGraw on to Salt Lake to buy flourfor his erty. Our express brought in his moccasin an order from Captain Marcy, which I have been permitted to read, or- dering the trains to balt until Colonel Smith came ap. We have three or four trains of twenty-six wagons each up with Colonel Alexander—one a few miles in advance of us, and two behind us,and the road is lined with mer- ebants’ and settlers’ goods for one hundred miles in our Tear. Colonel Alexander has broken up his camp on Ham’s Fork, and changed his course of the Bear River route, and we are expected to collect and guard these trains to his camp near Soda Springs. There is yet plenty of provisions for us until spring, except forage. We have no corn, hay or oats for our animals, and must rely upon grass. This the devil-saints may burn, unless the snow prevents it, and then our mules can profit little by it. Our force Tank and file, is about sixty-five men, but 1am informe that the teamisters will be armed with rifles to-morrow, and made to stand guard over their trains at night. Our ‘expressman believes we shall have to fight for our trains in a day or two more, and it may be so. If attacked Col. Smith will fight to the last. There will be no surrendor. One feeling pervades officers and men. Col. Chapman, an old veteran in war, Lieutenants Elwood and Kinsel, and Judge Eckels, Mr. Brown and Mr. McCormick, are’ with us, and will all use the rifle if necessary. We shall doour duty. Will the poople of the States do theirs? 1 believe they will send us men and supplies soon, California could give us soldiers even in winter. I think the Mormons will attempt to emigrate in the @pring to the Sandwich Islands or to Vancouver. Let a Elose Kout be kept for them. {Correspondence of the Tribuue.] Camp, 260 Mites From Fort Laramie, Oct. 13, 1857. Doring Captain Van Viiet’s stay in Salt Lake City last month, he overheard but one remark which induced him to believe that the declarations by the Mormons of inten- lion to resist the troops were not earnest. That was an observation by Brignam Young to the effect that his inten. tuon was unaltered, “unless he should get another reve- lation to the contrary, which he was sure that he should ‘The result has certainly justified the Prophet's confi. dence. No such revelation has been received by him up to October 5, on which date acts were committed under his direction which cannot fail to end in bloodshed. On that day the two regiments of infantry and the artillery and ordnance batteries were encamped on Ham's Fork, which branches from Biack’s Fork, which is a fork of Greea River. The two nearest supply trains were but a few miles distant from Green River, on the east bank, and about thirty miles from Col. Alexander’s camp. The next on thy road had advanced about twenty miles weet from Pacific Springs, which rise at a short distance beyond the South Pass. About eleven o'clock at night these three trains were surprised and seized by parties of Mormons, their contents examined, and what was worth pillaging was stolen and the remainder destroyed by fire. Fach train consisted of twenty-six wagons, and belonged to the umber sent out by Messrs. Russell & Waddell, of Leaven- worth City, contractors for the transportation of stores to the army and for the supply of beef cattle. The team Sters made no resistance, and were unharmed. These Mormon bands are understood to be under the command of “ Bill’ Hickman, although itis rumored that Heber C. Kimbail attends them. They are well mounted and armed, each man being provided with a California horse,and with ‘@ rifie and from oue to three revolvers. Hi. posed to have directed the proceeding near Pacitie Springs, while a man named Locksmith commanded near Green Raver. Immediately upon the receipt of the news of this attack, Colone! Alexander sent Captain Marcy, of the Fifth Infan- try, with five companies, back to Green River. He arrived, however, only in season to take charge of the cattle of the trains, which the Mormons had left, with the polite ro- quest that the troops would fatten them over winter, when they would be tn good condition for Mormon eating in the spring. Another of their jeur d’ it was a remark to the teamaters that they “had only burned the wagons this time, but would be likely to burn the wagoners the next." we) Alexander aiso sent deapatches to Brevet Colonel Smith, from whose camp I am writing, and Capt. Marcy sent by another messenger @ circular letter to the trains ou the road, advising them, for the sake of safety, to place themselves under Colonel Smith's protection Both expression were intercepted by the Mormons, but as nothing suspicious was found on their persons, and it did not appear on what errands they were bound, they were released. The one from Colonel Alexander, per- ceiving that it was impossible to avoid arrest, destroyed the despatches to Colonel Smith, according to his instruc ons, and we are ignorant of their cantonts. The other brought Captain Marcy’s circular safely through in the toe of his moccasin. We know, however, in the absence of the official de spatches, that Capt. Marcy has rejoined Col. Alexander, and that the entire force has moved to the north along Bear River toward Soda Springs, where it will probably ‘await the arrival of the remaining supply trains, the sut Jers’ trams of the Sth and 10th Infantry, and of Col. ‘Smith's battalion. The reasons for this movement do not appear, by a giance at the map, to @ person unacquainted minutely with the conformation of the country and the character of the climate. The direct road to Salt Lake City , passing Fort Bridger, Medicine Butte and the Nee dies, which Col. Alexander has abandoned, is possibly by this Ume impassable to wagons or artillery on account of the weather. The season, which had been uncommonly favorable up to the beginning of October, has resumed tts natural sevority. Ice has formed in our backets every morning but one since we left Fort Laramie. The northern slopes of the mountains are completely whitened with a covering which will not molt until 1858, and even the southern slopes are powdered scantily with snow, of which there wna a fall on Saturday night that chilled our road on Sunday and Monday and las muddied it to-day, ‘The Mormens have probably burned the grass slong that entire route, and obstructed the defiles in which it abounds in such a man ner that only artillery could clear them. But if the ar: concentrates at Soda Xprings it will have before it a road along a valley, open, it is said, even at Midwinter, direct to Salt Lake City. I'know of bo chart which exhibits ail the lines of road on which these movements will be made, and, indeed, | am unable to gather from our guides such information as to trace them accurately ou Captain Stans bury’s map, which is the largest chart of this country thai I possess; but I believe them to be substantially these : The direct route from California to the States crosses the Wahsutch mou othe north of Salt Lake City, and cont most due east to it junction with the main road hat city whieh passes Fort Bridger. and then runs on through the South Pass, dividing, however, near Ham's Fork, into three branches, which cross the Green River and unite beyond the Big Sandy. From one or the other of these branches @ road loads up into Oregon, toward Fort Hall, passing Soda Springs, from which, ai the Springs, there is a cut off into @ road direct from Fort Hall to Salt Lake City. It is over these latter roads and the cut off that Colonel Alexander « march will be directed The Mormons who intercepted the express men told them that they had a force of 700 men scattered along through the mountains as far east as the Devil's Gate, through@hich the Sweetwater flows, about 200 miles from Fort Laramie, and near which is a dismantled Mormon mail station, ata fire from some of whose logs wo warmed our feet uot a week ago. But this must be a gross exag geration. Né@her of the parties which burned the trains exceeded one hundred in number, and itis difficult to con ceive how a force of even that strength could have gained the rear of the army unobserved. It is a fact, how ever, that ever since the Mormons settled on Salt Lake they have been assiduous in collectng infor mation concerning the topography of the country, and many of their leaders under: it_as thoroughly as the Incest experienced mountain The employment of a Great part of their young men in herding cattle has made ‘them acquainted with every littie stream and kanyon, and inured them to the saddle.

The Clayton-Bulwer treaty, unexplainable as has been and is its provision to challenge the agreement of the contracting partics, will be thrown aside, and thus will be carried out the universal desire of democra- tic members of the last Congress, and negotiations between England and the United States having for a basis the poiwts involved in that instrument, with others which have arisen since, will be once more renew ed.

Cowta Rica is pushed forward in her unwarrantable in vasion of Nicaragua territory, according to all reliable ae counts current in the political circles of Washington, by Great Britain, who, although now fighting millions of in surgenta in her colonies, and with difficulty raising men and means for the struggle, still looks with longing eyes to the control of the rich trade which will pass over tho Toutes through Nicaragua, from ocean to ocean. Guate mala and San Salvador do not look with favor upon the growing arrogance of Costa Rica, Speaking through their minister to the United States they utterly disagree with that Power in the reasons given by her rulers for the blockade of the Juan” river, and Will oppose her in the execution of her tyrannical design in forming an alliance for the threatened war with their sister State.

Under these cir cumstances, then, it is more than probable that in a short while Mr. Buchanan will recognise and receive Senor Yrissarri, and at once reopen that official communication with Nicaragua which has been so long closed. As s00n ‘as this is done a minister will be despatched there to take charge of our affairs. The President i# casting about for the proper man for this responsible trust.

It is time, indeed, that the United States should have a settled policy in that quarter; that active efforts should be be made to support the interests of this country there, and to thrust aside England, who, above board or under board, as it suite ber, seeks to gain, with right or without *, the control of the great channels of commerce the world over. It rumored that Mr. Puchanan, in bie firet anual mosaage to Congress, will take bold ground on the cur reney question; that ‘he will re-affirm the principles latd down a0 clearly in his celebrated speech on the Indepen lent Treasury bill. He believes that it was the intention of the framers of the constitution to establish a hard mo- ney currency, and that the action of Congress since has been a steady departure from that intention. It will be his object, then, to retrace the false steps taken, and to bring the government back to the true ground. ‘The issue will be made in the next Congress whether Stato banks have the constitutional power to issue circu- lating “promises to pay.’ There will be a large party to take the negative of the argument, who will not, it is said, yield until a decision has been given on the question by the Supreme Court of the United states.

Some of the debts incurred by the United States during the last year or two, are, as yet, unascertained, and do not enter‘into any estimate of the sufficiency of the reve- nue to meet the necessary expenditures of the govern- ment, year by year. The government has a large float- ing debt, which it knows little about, and will not ac- knowledge it till it becomes pressing. It will be remenfered that the California Mexican war dobt, large in amount, took the government by surprise; and the mostsurprising part of the matter was, that Con- gress admitted it, and it has actually been paid. But the end of that claim'we have not seen yet. We have heard occasionally, but not very distinctly, of an Indian war in Washington Territory, and another in Or- egon Territory, and of the employment there of volunteers and what not. General Wool always maintained that thore was no war, except one created in the Territories against the trea- sury of the United States. Such a position render- ed him very unpopular as the commander of the military district of the Pacific, and he requested to be relieved from it. Territorial Governors had their own way pretty much, and did not lose sight of their popularity. But the Governor of the Territory-of Wash- ington—General Stevens—tinding the pretended Indian war, maintained that it was made and kept up by the white settlors within his Territory, and unde to restrain the operations within some bounds of plausibility and de- clare martial law. For this just and necessary act he was signally rebuked by the government, and was then superseded. All the objects of the wars in these territories being accomplished, for the present, the time has come for foot- ing up the bills. ‘The amount of the now debt in the Territory of Wash- ington, £0 far as ascertained, is only sixteen hundred thousand dollars ($1,600,000). The amount of various claims, including Indian depredations, coming from Ore- gon 1s'more grave—being several millions, There was twice as much show of fighting Indmns in Washington as in Oregon, but the war was conducted under the direc- tion of a veteran military chief, who did not go altogether for humbug. For expenditures or debts incurred for supplies or for volunteers, or depredations in those far off regions, there is no Umit, and no accountability. All this was bad enough in the old Seminole war, when forty millions were expended, though the opera- tions there were very much circumscri! m space, in _comparason with the Territories of Washington and Oregon. But the whole country between the western boundary of Missouri—haif of the portion of the continent which belongs to the United States—has been or is to be the theatre of these treasury wars, miscalled Indian wars; and the extent and profit of the speculations can hardly be conceived, because their aggregate is dispersed — Cn large surtace, and is distributed among many indi viduals. Who can tell what the last and the’next war against the Chey ennes is to cost? military operations in Utah and in Kansas are to swell the amount of estimates for the ensuing year. There is no doubt that many of the claims coming from the ‘Western Territories will be thrown out by the depart- ment, and that the claimants will worry ress into some provision for them in the course of time. The effect which the vast expansion our settled Territorial limits is to have in the increase of our expenditures is not yet de- veloped, It is much to be feared, therefore, that it will be impracticable to limit the expenditure ‘hereafter to $45,000,000, as is to be proposed. ‘The parties interested in the claims for Freach spolia. tion prior to 1800 have looked with confidence to the coming Congress and the present executive for the final payment of their claims. But the present and prospective reveune will, it may be supposed , again defer the consum- maton of this measure. {Correspondence of the Covrier and Enquirer. Wasuincton, Nov. 12, 1857.

Orders of a comprehensive and pointed character were transmitted to them by Mr. Buchanan at an early day, having in view the amplest performance of our treaty stipulations. Their violation is, ] have no doubt, a great aunoyance to him and to his Cabinet. ‘The Postmaster at Hartford, Connecticut, has addressed the Postmaster General, calling attention to the anomalous condition of the rates of postage on regular newspapers and periodicals; the table of regulations showing nineteen fractional rates, and every rate being fractional on the list of newspapers and not exceeding 13, oz. in weight, circulated in the States where published; thus presenting the singular discrepancy of a number of’ rates of postage requiring the payment of sums unknown to our currency; government at the same time demanding frac: tional postage and repudiating fractional coins. It is found absolutely impossible for the subscriber to pay, or the Postmaater to receive, the exact sum required by the go- vernment; and it is suggested that a tariff of specific rates, discarding all fractions, would be in correspondence with our currency, and would require no impossibilities on the part of those who have postage to pay. (Correspondence of the Tribune.]} Wasmtncton, Nov. 15, 1867. Sir William Gore Ouscley’s Mission—The Central American Question. Sir Gore Ouseley is expected here to compare notes with the ident British Minister before proceeding to Central ‘ica. Although the full extent of his instruc- tions is own, the object of the mission is sufficiently understood in diplomatic circles. Ss) chee, seavowes in responsible quarters, is to bring to a final conclusion all the points of difficulty in Central America, which have entangled the relations of this government and Great Britain, by direct communication and negotiation, where necessary, with those States, separately or otherwise. To effect this purpose Great Britain announces her readiness to enter into a treaty with Tonduras, receding the Bay Islands, with a condition protectiug the interests and rights of British subjects established there, and to aban- don her Mosquito protectorate, with a reservation of sub- sistence and shelter for the It will be remembered th of and supposed to be attained by the Dallas treaty, an would have been but for the unexpected rejectior of it by Lord Palmerston, after the amendments were made in the Senate. There existed as much reason, and, in fact, more, for cl up thie running sore then ‘than'now; but pre- judiced feelings were evoked, and a settlement was post- poned. It is said thai different views are entertained at this time, and that England is not only prepared, but real. ly anxious to withdraw frou Central America, and to re- sign all territorial pretensions except those held at Belize. If these assurances had not been so often made and disap- pointed more confidence would be felt in their sincerity. As it is, however, we are bound to receive them with trust under the circumstances that prompt them, and to be- Lieve that an earnest effort is at last to be made to reach ‘a termination of the protracted and irritating controversy. While, however, the administration may be desirous of seeing the question settled and helping such a consum- mation in some form, it is unwilling to consider a propo: sition for or to enter upon the obligations of a new treaty. with England intended to attain that result. Somuch may be considered fixed. Ifa government should be established in Nicaragua that could present any claim to be regarded as sneb in substance or in fact, it would be recognized here unbesitatingly, and independent negotiations opened with it, by the prompt appointment of a minister. Indeed, the impression prevails in some diplomatic quarters, that there is a willinguess even now to admit Yrassarri, and to makea treaty, but it is vot well founded, except in the general disposition. ‘That course of policy would be pre- iminary to a moral, if not a formal abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty, which has been contemplated since last spring, when Lord Palmerston turned the cold boulder upon us. The administration dislikes the odor of all entangling alliances, and, true to ita professed demo. ratic instincts, e@pecially abbors one with England. ‘The domonstration of Walker upon Nicaragua may ma erially affect the proposed negotiations of Sir Gore Ouseley end the views of the administration. No step can be pru- ently taken by either until the extent of his success or failure ts ascertainca. If he should sueceed in gaining a footing, the scenes which were witnessed before will be repeated, and all Central America be again disturbed by war. In'such a condition of things, both England and the United States would be inclined to abstain from inter: ference, and certainly from negotiation, and the day of solution would still further be postponed. If Walker en ters N , therefore, no attempt can be made on either side to approach an adjustment with the distracted Mates In the event of a government being established in Nica ragua and recognized here, the administration is isin clined to connect itself with any of the outstanding contro. versies in regard to competing claims of the right of tran sit. Allthe companies which have been and still are fighting each other may expect the fate of the Kilkenny cats, whieh they bd well deserve, and if they have ap ounce of sense left they will try to avoid that foreshadow ed catastrophe. Mr. Buchanan does not care to involve himself in stale disputes, and will favor any new grant that may be fairly conferred by Nicaragua, extending roper protection to the parties who receive it. This was his mode of extrication from the Tehuantepec troubles, when he advised the ene claimants to morge their interests, obtain anew grant from Mexico, and form a new organization. They accepted hia advice and succeed ed in the negotiation, but were overtaken by the financial storm in the midat of preparations for ite practical fulfil ment. This illustration furnishes aclue to the Nicaraguan labyrinth. {Correspondence of the Pennsylvanian. | Wasiusoton, Nov. 16, 1897 Extensive Frauds in the Selrction of Swamp Land: I is currently reported that extensive frau attempted in regard to the selection of swamp lands under the aet of September, 1860. That act granted to the land States the swamp and overflowed lands, unfit thereby for cultivation, which were then unsold. Some of the States selected swamp lands in accordance with the filed notes of the Surveyor General. Other States appointed agents to select these lands forthem, the agents furnishing a lint to the General Land Office. These lands having been examined by the Surveyor General, that officer re ported them tor approval or disapproval. | In some of the States these lands were granted tothe counties in which they were found by the State Legislatures. The counties in some instances entered into contracts with the agents for the purpose of selecting these lands. It is said that in some instances the agents went into the fields and selected all the good va cant land which they could Gnd, irrespective of its cha racter, whether swamp or otherwise These agente, by contract were allowed say 10 or 15 cents an acre in ome instances, and in others one-quarter and one third of the lands found. Unde? these tempting inducements. swamp lands have been found on the top of high hills and mountains. If those lists of selections by these agents had been sanctioned, this class of speculators would have made from $250 to $60,000 a day. ‘On the 3d of March, 1867, an act was passed in relation these relections, and the Departmgnt of the Interior has held that it does not relate to selections of lands made after the date of the act itself. It seemed to be the design of thie act of 20th of March, 1857, to confirm to the several States such lands as may have been selected under the act of the 28th of Reptember, 1950, which had heretofore been reported to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, 20 far ae they were vacant and non-appropriated. and net interfered with by actual settlement. Selections which Lave been inade since the date of the act, it will be per ceived, have not been confirmed thereby.
