GOVERNOR CUMMING IN SALT LAKE CITY. ae One Thousand Mormons in Nebraska, to. &e., &o. We published yesterday s specie! deapatch from Fort Leavenworth, dated May 18, s:ating that ao oxprees which Deft Camp Scott on ihe 10th of April, bed arrived with ihe eteliigewce that the Mormons wore loaviog Satt Lake City for the White River Mousiains, and that Governor Oun ming had gone to the city by invitation. Oor latest daten from Halt Lake City, which came by the wey of Seo Frasc'sco, were to March 14 There was nothing m@ these wivices to indicate any movement lke the above It will be recollected, however, that the mis- stom Of Colonel Thowas L Kaue, ef whicd so much has been raid bere, js berety mentioned. It was stated that Colonel Keve had arrived at the Mormon seat of goverpment on the 26:b of January, aud on the sa ne even- tog bad an interview with Governer Brigham Youug sad the Council, the resuit of which did wot traespirs; buy Brigham Young toek the troub’e to announce his arrival padlicly m the Temple. He was tronted as the guest Of the Governor, and the cordia'ity of his resection created eomesurpriee. He was to leave on Monday, the 224 of Febreary, for Camp Scott, with a special Mormon esdort, whieh may be doomed a sigvificant fect. Our lasest previous date from Camp Scott, padiished te fo Bwesin on Saturday, was an official despatch, dated fee 1th of Maroh—tweety days after Gol Kane was to eve teft fat Lake Orty for that point. It made no men ‘ton of Col Kane’s arriva!, nor dors the prevent despaih, ‘which 6 twenty 6ix dave later.

General Doenaten immediately sent the necessary aid. It was sho reported thes the Mormons appeared very wariike. Thry were to be seen at al! hours and in lerxe Bombers on the aijscent hills It ts porsihie that Cxlone] Kane may bave been delayed more than the swenty deys in the rongh mountain parses, and a journey @ over one bendred and Ofty mi'es in the depth of win. Yer, 80 that he bad pot arrived when the official despatch Jett Camp Yeott, and ethen be may have arrived in camp defore that despatch left apd bis presence Bet have been wads Known outside of Cabinet and of- folal circles, 14 te evident, however, that if the lest des- pete ie correct, the movement, whatever the policy of the Mormons may be, was the resnlt of Oolovel Kane's mierion. The Special Commissioners, Mevsrs. Powel! aod MeCuloch, did pct leave Fort Leavenworth till the 24th of April, and they therefore could bot bave boon mixed Ie tbia reported arrangement. Of the Whito River Mountains, for which the Mormons are seid to be lenving Salt Lake City, bat little has been writen. They are situated about fifty miles southeast of Wat place, vouth of the routesfrom Fort Bridger to Salt Lake, ané east of the California road, on which there are @ member of Moriaon settloments. The White river runs throegh these mountains. Jt not the one rising in San Pete county, and flowing westerly into the Green river, ‘but je w emolice river, rising ‘nm these mountains, and the Great Sait lade, theugh of course southeast of it, and emption itty the Green river on the wert side.

Near the easiern shore, on the Califor te road, fe Provo Oty, the capital of Utah county, tu which ibe White River Mouztaize are situated. This wor ameng the Oret Mormon seiiisments. Tt contains a (Oc uct House, Mormon meeting house, and over five hun red inhebitarts.

Capt. Stans- ‘dary, who expiored theee regions in 1363, said nothing of the éxact keeality which the Mormons are exid to have eboren. He recommended, however, that a better roate than the one in ure through the Wahraio) Mountains ‘could be taken from the source of the Beer river, dowa the Weber river acres the great Carmass prairie, sod down the Timpevogrs to the Urah valley. If the Mormens bave located themeclven in these moun tains, it is probably bat wmporarity.

So seldom does the meeseogor of deach viet the ranks of the elders while abroad oa mis: stopary duties, that the occurrence is regarded by the fattbfol as one of the very core alll ctions aud trytog vivi- tations of Providence Probably not more, %0 oar raparwer was ipformed, than half a ecore of Mormon mietiovariea ever died abroad, notwithstanding the large number that have been tr. velliog in ‘be nations. ‘The deceaned elder, Se nel Francis Neslen, wasa on'ive of Lowsto't, Suffolk county, Eogiand. floem>racst Wor monism there ip 1862, and the following spring 100om panied bis father end family to Utan.

The only really new piece pro- duced during the week was a three act drama cated tha “Frozen Lake,” which proved a success, ab Wallack’s, However, Mavagor Eddy, of tho Bowory, revived the late Mr. Stevens’ exciting play of ‘ Blanche of Bracdywine,”” wh'ch made a hit, and probably won quite ae much ap- plause as any new drama that could heave been pat on that stage.
