RUMORED MOVEMENTS OF THE MORMONS. We copy the following from the San Diego Herald: AB we Were going to press an express was bronght in from Fort Yuma, by Mr. Kdmunos, to the commanding officer at this pest, with orders if the steamer bad left Sau Diego, to post on to San Pedro, if there was any possibility of overtaking ber there, The de«patcses for the cvm mandirg officer of the Pacific division, trom Fort Yama, must therefore be of an importent vature We are led to this conclusion from the following report of the exoress rider He says, that before he left ths river an lodian Tupner came juto the fors, with a letter ( om Lieut. Ives’ exploring party, (which ascended the Colorafo, in Capt, Jobneon’s steamer Jesup, three days steaming above the Mohave villages,) and immediately orders were igeved, by the commander ‘f the post, that no oue snow leave the tort without written permiysion The proba bility is thet the Yormons are preparing to make their way into Nortbern Mexico. and aa they wil do so by the way of the Co orade terry, this strict order is isaued to prevent asurpriea by any advanced guard that the Mormons may send abead to make preparations for crossing. SPEXCHES OF THE FLDERS AND OTHERS. From tbe gpeeches of Brigham Youvg Heber ©, Kim. ball, O. Hyde, and other presidents anc @ ders, we per ceive that the spirit of resistance to the United Stas troops still prev mong ihe people although the dis. ecurses of these laders are by no means so violent and outrageous as formerly. There is no direct intelligence of the movements of the army ip the News, and it 1s ooly by hints throughout the specebes that we hear of an army beiog cn the frovtier In order to chow the feeiings by which this strange peo- ple are actuated, we give below a few extracts from the sormons of the prophets: Elder 1.

THE LATEST FROM THE UTAH EXPEDITION, Sr. Loum, March 16, 1868, John Hartnett, Secretary of (tab, arrived on Saturday bight. He left Camp Scott on January 26, and reports that the troope were in comfortable condition and excel lent bealth, on y four deaths having occurred since the arrival of the command. In view of a serious if not unsurmountable obstacle in the fortifications of the canons by the Mormons, it was thought that the entran:e into the Salt lake valley would be made by ancther route, a bundred miles longer, but offering no obstructions of any magnitude. Two hundred of the principal men of the Utah Indians bad been into the camp, and gave assurance of the peace- able intentions of the tribe towards the Americans. The Cheyennes also desired peace. With the exception of along the skirts of the south side of the South Pase, Hartnett met with no snow on the route Grase wae expected unusually early. parting. when these people swooped them by another de- cree, * That a] foreigners paseipg in and outof he coun. try should be required to pay five dolars for eacn and every pareport or permit.’ ond thus they robbed them on departing, driving them forth by their tyran ical and arbitrary measures, and then taking them pay for g these the men which our Presicent aff sympathy for ¥o they cevote their time.
