Spring is now fairly opened Epon us, with all that salubrity of climate for which this moantain country is so remarkably distinguished. ‘This little but patient army of Utah finds itself alive and aetive, with a latent determination that cannot be fully realized but by those who have sojourned among them in ‘this their mountain home. Had the government heeded the advice of those who ‘Were competent to counsel in such matters this might Rave been avoided; but no, the army must march on ‘tab, and it did march as the American army can oaly march, amid cold and privations that can never be realized ‘without participation. Col Johnston has the entire conf- dence of the whole army, and any change in ite com- mander would be deeply regretted by every man com- posing it. His sound jadgment and unwavering determi- mation are elements absolutely needed in a commander; and ander bis guidance no force in Mormondom can check fer a moment the onward march of this command. Rumors are rife of the enemy hovering about our camp imlarge numbers. A few nights ago cleven mules were @riven off from as dregoon picket, stationed out on the Salt Iake road. Shots were fred, but no farther harm done. It is supposed that they ‘were captured by a party of Mormons that came out as eseort toa Mr. Kane, who arrived in camp on the evening of the 12th inst. Colonel Kane, as he is called, comes, I understand, with @ letter of introduction from the President of the United Siates, recommending him to the favorable consideration of the suthorities here. He fe still in camp, and to the present moment the precise mature of his business is unknown, s0 far as I am able to learn. His whole soaduct appears strange; but whatever ‘may be his mission—whether friend or foe, for peace or War—the time for negotiations has passed. Nothing short of an onward movement, and the restora. tion of law and order, the establishment of a Territo. rial government abeolved from the pernicious doctrines of Mormonism, wili satisfy the ends of justice and humanity. By degrees Mr. Colonel Kane communicates with Colonel Johnston in reference to matters pertaining to his depart- ment, but the steady, unwavering oourse of the Colonel eommanding, in all matters pertaining to these ‘ Saints,” most be anything but pleasing to this gentleman. Among other things, he brings a letter from Brigham Young, ad- dressed to himself after leaving Salt Lake City, in which Brigham states that, having learned through Iadians that the army was ina destitute and starving condition, he would furnish eupplies if desired; and having some two hundred head of cattle in very good order, would send them to camp at the instance of the authorities. Colonel Johnston replies that, in the first place the army is not in @ suffering or starving condition—that Brigham Young has been misinformed on that point—that even were it the case, be did not Delieve that there was a man in his command but would starve rather than receive # particle of assistance from a Col. Kane brought out the Deseret News to the 27th of January last. The spirit of redeliion and resistance re- mains unabated. (mn the “th of December last Heber C.

Mr. Gilbert, of the firm of Gilbert & Gerrish, formerly traders in Salt Lake City, arrived in camp }.st evening from the States, via California ani Salt Lake Olty. The information be brings relative to recent movements of the Saints is important. He reports haviog met Governor Camming and Colonel Kane in Echo canon, on Wednesday evening, 7th inst. , forty-five miles this side of Great Salt Lake City, with a Mormon escort of twenty (20) men, commanded by the rebel Porter Rockwell, one of the chiefs of the Danites. He represents the escort as being splendidly mounted, and ere this “his Excellency is safely deposited in a richly furnished room at a Mr. Stiles’, wnere the immaculate Col. Kane rested his weary bones on his pilgrimage to the camp of the Utah army. Expresses were eent in advance to inform the eathorities that the new Governor was ap- proaching, aud om Sunday he was to receive s public re- ception, Mr. G. met msny wagons on the Cslifornia road, going in a southerly direction, freighted with Mormon women and children,’ destinea, probably, for the White Mountain region, near the New Mexico line. Brigham in- formed bim that if the army would give them time they would Kkave, but if not, he would “send them to hell exces lots.” How far this revelation will be developed I am unatie te say, but having run clear of the Lord’s ven- geance in his @rst decree, and the tomahawk and scalp- ing-kni'e of the Indian in the second, we have every rea- son to hope for grace in the third and last invocation. The deserter Berlin, of whom mention was made ia my Jest, was brought into camp by the Indians the 6th inst.; he was found near Bear river in a starving condition, by some Seate Indians, who were out hunting, belonging to Ben Simonds’ vand. There is no doubt of the insanity of the man at the time of leaving, as he took no food, nor did he obtain any for four days, when he found a dead anima), from which he satisfied, for a time, the cravings of nature. He is now in hospital, and will probably lose some portion of his limbs from freezing. On the eame§day a private by the name of Allen, of Company B, Fifth infantry, and one of the buglers of Phelps’ light battery, deserted, but owing to the incle mency of the weather they could not make time, and re- turned the next day to camp. Dr. Forney, Superiatendent of Indian Affairs for the Territory of Utab, has caught the affection from the Go- vernor, and bas gone to Yellow creek to make a treaty with the Indians. He left camp in the direction of Salt Lake City, on the evening of the 7th inst , under a mach more respectable escort than his Excellency’s ; to wit, Ben Simonds and about one hundred of his braves. The Doctor evidently had « vision—he could not quietly look on and see the Governor, unarmed and unattended, brave the battle axes of the hosts of Israel that had gathered themselves together “to do or to die”’ in the ser- vice of the Lord, in the land of Mormondom. So, ere two suns had spanned the heavens, he might have been seen ‘wending his way tothe baunts of his chilkiren—to the land of vermiilion, elay pipes and squawdom. In my next I hope to be able to enlighten the public of the re- sults of his mission. A man by the name of Lucas, in the employ of the Quartermaster’s department, was arraigned before the civil court, @ few days ago, for stealing from one of the sutler’s wagons a bag of buckshot, suitable for a revolver, and was acquitted. He was diemissed from the quarter. master’s employment, and started for the States; but Mr. Gilbert, before mentioned, met this worthy son of Mor- monism near Bear river, on his way to Salt Lake City. Thus this scoundrel has been in camp all winter as a spy, and paid by the government for his villany. There are others in camp at which the finger of suspiion 1s pointing, and they cannot much longer elude the vigilance of Col. Jotneton, or these to whom he has entrusted the care and attention of such matters. The excelien! health of the troops continues, and they only await the word of command for an onward movement.

The young Indian traded with one of the young Mormons, and their horses changed owners. Whether the Mormon was too keen in business in the esti mation of the Indian fs unknown; but the latter soon showed signs of dissatisfaction. The Deseret News gives the following account of the breakiag up of the mission through this circumstance, which i not a little interesting af a glimpee at incidents of mountain life — On Sunday, September 23, a Utah Indian asked James Wiseman Hunt to go with him from the fort to the berd, ® short disiance, to see a horse that Hust had bough: of him. They started—the Indian on horseback and Aust on foot—and when about a mile from the fort, the Indian directed Hunt's attention to the cattle, a litte way off from the horses, aud, while he was turced, shot him in the back, the ball ranging down diagonally and lodging in the thigh. One of the herdamen close by started to give the slarm, and the other one drove the herd to the fort.

He (the officer) then demanded his papers, whea he was told they were at the Oonsul’s, and that if he knew his business he certainly was aware of that fact. The officer then departed, saying he would report to the commanding officer of the steamei Upon refusal of Captain B. to hoist his ensign, several shots (blank cartridges) were fired by the steamer, B order to intimidate Captain Bartlett and com pel him to hoist his ensign, which he did mot do. Capt. B. then noticed that they had lowered away two of their large boats, each containing about 50 men, with any quantity of smallarms, when be (Capt. B.) took his en- sign and laid it on the cabin table. Soon after the boats arrived alongside, and the commander ofthe steamer in persom came on board, when tapt. B. received him polite- ly, but protested against the proceedings, and would not allow any of the men to come on board, threatening to shoot the first that attempted it. Onpt. B. and the British commander then proceeded to the cabin, when he (the commander of the steamer) commanded him to hoist his ensign, He replied, ‘There it jies upon the table, and if your commission is worth enough, hoist it yourself.” The British officer, pistol in hand, commenced pacing the cabio, saying that he would seize the vessel and take her ‘to the port of New York, to which Capt. B. replied that ‘was exactly what he wanted him to do; when, whether by intent or accident, Capt. B. was struck on the breast by the hand which held tho pistol. Capt. B. then pre sented his pistol and said—“Sir, keep your hands off me, or Iwill ehoct you.” The officer repliod—‘I did not lay my bands on you,” when Capt. B. rejoined—You did, sir.” The officer inquired if the sugar on board belonged to Capt. B., when he repliod—‘‘I never owned a hogshead of avgar in my life.” The same question was asked in re- gerd to the launches (boats for conveying the sugar from the shore on board), and the same reply given, The officer, completely cowed, proceeded on deck, and after reaching the deck, in a perfect rage bellowed forth— “Lower away the gangway ladder,” when Capt. B. quietly sold—“Bir, did you order that ladder to be lowered, or did you request it to be lowered?” whea the officer sald— ‘Will you please have it lowered?’ Capt. B. then gave orders for it to be done, and the Britisher departed with. out having ascomplished bis purpose. We aleo learn from Capt.

This proclamation {s addressed to the chiefs and in- habitants of Oude only, and not to the Sepoys. 3 The Gover General bas not oonsitered it de- sirable that this proclamation chouid appear until the capital is either actually in our hands, or lying at our merey. He believe that any proclamation givin in Oude in a liberal and tory 6 apie would open to misconstruction, and capable of ‘perversion, if nO’ preceded by ® maniiestation of our power; aad that this would be especially the case at Lucknow, which, al- of Dessed, is still sedulously re; being beyond our power to 4.

It is clear, woo, thet the same treatment wil not be applicable w all wno may present themseives. 8. Amongst these there may be some who have been continuously in arms against the government, and have shown inveterate opposition to the ast, bat who are free from the suspicion of having put to death or injured who fell in their way. 9. To these men their lives are gueranteed and their pam, fs ‘a, in native pened), eee will neither be rans across the sea nor in prigon. 10. Probably the most easy and effectual way of dis- pees < ies the first will be to require that they shall reside in Lucknow under surveillance and in 1 of an officer appointed for that purpose. 11.
