WHOLE NO. 7962. INTERESTING FROM UTA Arrival of Colonel Kane in Wathingten. DESPATCHES FROM GOVEKNOK CUMMING—THE ARMY TO BEMSIN AT CAMP SCOTT—THR MORMON BXO- DUS— CONDITION OF THE ARMY, BTC. Wasuinaron, Juse 20, 1853, Gol. Kane arrived here lat night, bringing despatches frem Governor Cumming, whom he loft ai Vamp Scott on the 16ch of May. They were delivered to the President of the United States. Their purport bas not officially Wwavepired, but it is axcertained that many of the accounts with which the public mind bas beon preoccupied are erroneous, and ciicuiated to deceive the country in re ®;rot to Utab matters generaily. To this fact may be attributed the uncourteous refusal of Ool. Kane to com Mmunicate with the press. It ig waderstood that Col. Kane denies the trath of the fel-grapbic announcement from Booneville, intimating (ar the army would move on the arrival of the Pesce Ormuiesioners, when, in fact, Gov. Cumming has re- Quirted it to remain where it is antil orders aball be re- vived from Washington. Contrary to the reports widely circulated, Col. Kane doce not admit that there has been any such want of har. wavy between Governor Camming and General John- avon as would jeopard the public interests. He speaks in @x'ogiatic terms of General Johnston, and the high state Of discipline in which the aver maintained his forces, and the praiseworthy spirit manifested by the army during ‘We winter. The friends of the administration are mach pleased with the manner in which he is understood to allude to the cvnduct of Governor Cumming, saying tha! he is de- berving of the gratitfide of the country. There was great hope iv Uren, as elsewhere, that the wer atanend. A peace party bad been formed, and was rufliciently etrong in time to arrest the march of the Mormon forces ageicst our own last spring. It wse the impreesion in Utsb that Brigham Young, who openly espoused the cause of the United States, would in this respect be able to maintain bis position. There was atone time siroug opporition to bim, before emigration was resolved upon, but ever stce this feeling of hostility bas been subtiding. allthe Northern settlements are evacuated, with the -xs-pvion of tbe few Mormons left to guard the public property of Salt Lake City; and besides these there aro 0 Mormons for forty miles south of that city. . The seventy Mormon fami'ies alluced to in @ recent dos- pasch, did not, as was stated, apply to Gov. Cumming at Camp Scott for protection. They were brought there by kine from Sait Lake City.

Es Roots vor Utan, May 19, 1868, I sent you lett rs yesterday from Fort Laramie, giving fall par.iculurs of occurrences up to thattime The snow storm, which began yesterday morning, ceased in the forenoon. The Utah Commissioners changed two or three their mules at Fort Laramie for better ones, left one of the horses, waich seemed unasie tostand the journey, and took a ridteg mute in its stead, got those of their ani- mais which required it reshod, exchauged one of their ‘ambulances, and got a supply of corn ani twenty days’ rations for fifteen men. It occupied until near 3P. M. to complete these arrangements; theo, turning our mules’ heads towerds the west, we started over the almost barren sand bil’s which surround Fort Laramie. Hockerday’s mule followed in our rear. The Weed was heavy, constantly ascending and descending Dlest, dreary biuffs, There was good grass in the nar- row va'ley of the Platte river and abundance of wild cac- fas op the hil's, with bere and there sticted \rees on the borders of ravines.

Two men could easily have built bridge ip half s day, but if all the wagons which travel this road pay the toll aeked, the $10 invested in building the bridge wll doubtless oring forth, betore the year is out, $10,000. The creek, though email, nas steep banks, and is kept well dug out by the man who owns the bridge 80 as to render it unfordable by sar Fiages. There were seven Indian lodges at the creek. Although atrading station, all the whites and Indians were @ cheval when we arrived, just going out on a borse race. We stopped a few minutes to see the race. The coursers were by 20 means the finest animals in the world. Two horses and reveral buffalo robes were beton each side. The Indians, Shyennes, bet against the whites. Both the horses were ridden by Indians, a Sioux being on the Ame- rican horee. The race was short, and we could not tell from cur position which party beat.
