Oar Great Salt Lake Correspondence, Sact Laxw Crer, March 90, 1860. ‘The Mormons Scattering Throughout the Terrsory—Disciples | Not Likely to Go New Gtsinea—The Northern Indians— ‘Me Bannock PropertyThe Bamnock, Flat Head and Black Feet Indians, de., dc. On the entrance of the army, speculation drew the en- erpeising into the citles—trading became popular aud lu- | crative, and the fields and ‘‘waste places of Zion’ were measurably neglected. The foreshadowing ot peaceful | times are now, to the same folks, sulliciently significaut; and, anticipating the eariy departure of the bulk of the army, the cities are losing large numbers of their in- habitants, Every day family wagons are passing through» the city, chiefly in @ northerly direction, The gene- rai bigh altitude of the first inbabiteed portions of the Territory has heretofore led w explora- tions southward in quest of more genial climes, and followimg explorations new settlements. The present movement is, however, chiefly to Cache Valley, that rich northern valley which General Johnston refused for a military reserve. There is now as much feverish oxcito- ment about going to Cache Valley as formerly to Pike’s Peak. The snow ig yet heavy om the road between that valley and this city, and itis estimated that no loss than five hundred families have already moved in this spring. I believe the Territorial surveyor has orders from some- body to confine his operations in favor of persons only who are on tbe ground with team and wagon, and the other ef celeras indicative of a bona fide intention of becom- ing actual settlers. Limiting, also, each person to twenty acres, there is no chance of speculating to the disadvan- bie as poeaibie, and furnished the Mormons with a splea- 4id charge against tho (oderal efficors—ia aiding and abetting criminais ‘Bis action atthe present time might be amusiag, if it were not attended with such consequences te the commu- nity, amd likewise to the discredit of a federal officer. One judge tries, condemns and sends to the penitentiary; | amothor judge issues writs of habeas corpus for the incar Ceration; they appear before him, he casts a glance at the mittimus, disputes the jurisdiction of the Probate Court, and consequeatly the action of the Legislature, aud ro- leapes the scoundrels to renew their depredations. This is certainly very interesting! Very much so! Bat the farce is net yet over, The Probate Courts and their juries will go to work again ia few days and attend to the | Dusineas of the peopie against criminals regardless of this interfereace, and his honor, the Chief Justice, will have hie hands fall te release and release again and again. ‘The Mormoas aro jubliant over the action of the Judge, ‘as it seals and confirms all they bave stated of him and the present batch of fodoral judges of this territory. If some Mormon or onemy of the Judge has not played Iago to him, it looks very much like it. A more foolish imter- ference is hardly cenceivabie. The Mormons now point to | the past charges—that they would not convict Mormons. Here, say they, we have done it, in this oly aad in different parts of the Territory. The “ Gentile’ judges liberate ‘these same Mormoas. If it were only a question of juris diction, the Judge's course is foolish enough ; but when to that is added the fact that his honor bas now frequent in- teroourse with that class of mem liberated, the charge of corrupt dealings, plotting and base designs to briag trouble is on every lip ecquainted with the facts. THE PROBATE OOURT AND THE CRIMINAIS. It is unnecessary to go into detail here, about whose ox was killed, by whom and upon what evidence the persons tage of the tillers of the soil. The winters tarry long in that valley, and are the only shadows over the fine pictures presented before the vision of the emigrants. The Mor- mon authorities evidently consider this new settlement ‘of some importance, as they have appointed ‘ Brother” Benson, one of the “twelve apostles,” to go and locate his family among the settlers. Oreon Hyde, the President of the Twelvo Apostles, is also closing up his affairs in the city,in order to move down south some two hundred miles from here, to throw around the brethren his presidential mantle. The great drawback to the settlements is the absence of water for irrigating purposes, This is particularly felt in the south. While the explorations north have recently opened up Cache Valley, # hitle brains have brought into cultivation a large tract of land in the south. I meta southern far- mer last week in one of the Gentile stores, who seemed to be greatly elated with the suecess of an irrigating enter- prise a short distance from Fillmore, the capital of the Territory. The inhabitants of that piace recently turned ‘out en masse and built a dam across the Seviere, and turned the courze of that river by a desert, which at once gave them several thousand acres of farming land. Provious to this there were not more than one thousand acres of tilla- ble iand in the county; this recent result will, therefore, draw off moro than the half of the inhabitants of the capi- tal, as irrigation by wholesale from the Seviere will be an immense saving of labor to the farmers. ‘The faithful are spreading out in other directions, as well as north and south, and giving more practica! evi- dence of their intention of staying in the Territory than on any former occasion since they have been here, With all due respect to the feelings of Eastern philanthropists, who we supposed to speak New Guinea to the Mormons through Captain Gibson, I think that the chances of the disciples colonizing that m paradise are very remote. Any calculation based upon the migration of this community to the East Indian Archipelago, now or at any time future, is bound to bea fizzle. There is no qucstion that the nomadic experience of the Mormons has preparedjthem for any journey, how- ever distant and difficult; these are not now stated as the objections, The fact is, no plaoe in the world has such ‘attractions for Brigham Young as this same barren, deso- late, desert country. It is not in great demonstrations, but in the small hints of this wonderful man that his governing principles are ecen. In speaking one time to the people of the worthlessness of the land compared with that in the countries whence they had come, he said that ‘Utah was good for nothing but making eaints.””’ The rich, easy cultivated lands, the delicious climate, balmy breezes, and the thousand trea ures in the natural products of the islands, and the finny tribes on the sea coast, the extensive facilities for mer- cantile greatness, are ai! nothing, notht compared with the {acilities for ‘making saints.’ The Mormons havea | tg song, in the chorus of which is the very emphatic ine— Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven. ‘The poetry is but the echo of the Prophet's appreciation of the people’s present state of existence, present labor and to enable them to appreciate a future of bliss. Notwithstanding all this, IT should not be surprised if some cuterprising elders should be gent on a mission to the Malaysien Islands before the expiration of 1860. Some years ago the elders were son out in every direction with instructions to evangelize wherever a dodr might be opemed. That the Captain’s winter sojourn here should yet be regarded as the over- ruling of Providence, to lead indirectly to the preaching of the new religion to the Islanders, is not at all unlixly. ‘The Captain is satistied that if it were any part of his pro- jected programme te take a company of people to the islands, he could find them here. le tells me that great numbers of persons have calied upon him since he com- menced lecturing, to express to him their willingness to go to the Archipelago. THE RANNOCK PROPHET. Van Eiten, the mountaineer, has just returned from the Fiat Head country, with a large troop of Indian horses for this market. He left this city last August and spent the winter with the Fiat Heads, whom he represents very favorably, industrious and somewhat religious. The Fiat ‘Heads have had some Catholic missionaries among them for some years, who have benefitted them considerably im many r ts. Twoof the priests made an effort last fall to establish a mission among the Biack Feet Indians in the neighborhood of Fort Benton, on the Mis- souri; but up to the present the Black Feets have been’ perfectly deaf to Catholic logic. The Mountaineer facetiously hints that the polygamic proclivities of that tribe of Indians is one of the great barriers to the pro- gress of the priestly celebats. Shouldn’t wonder. Setlers from Frager river, Fort Caldwell, and all down the Columbia, even from the neighborhood of Fort Walla Walla and the Dalles, are taking advantage of the treaty of 55 ana setting up claims in the valleys of the Fiat Head country, which are represented good for farming and stock raising. The Indians everywhere in the north, for five hundred miles from here, have all been peaceable for some time. Now and again some stealing operations among different tribes would lead to a huat and exchange of warlike compliments, but nothing very serious, As Van Etten was returning, be sawa party of the Bannock In- dians, who had just had a skirmish with a party of the Black Feets. The latter bad stolen a very large herd of horses from the former. The Bannocks pursued them for two days, overtook them, and after @ fight recovered all the horses but seventeen head. On the side of the Bannocke their second medicine prophet was among the wounded. Up to this, the prophet believed himself ball proof. He explains this riddling, perhaps honestly enough in his own convic- tion, by somebody else having done wrong. One of the tribe had carried fresh meat on his horse—the stain of blood around him was enough to dispel the charm of protection, Well, all right—next time he goes to battle he will be more careful to inquire. A few of the Bannocks accompauied Van Etten to the city ; they were fine looking men. One of them had taken part in the masacre of tho Mormons on the Salmon River mission in 1857. I believe he was denied an introduction to Brother Brigham, the latier objecting to hold commu- nication with the man who had shed the blood of his brethren. Van Etten says that he was well treated while among the Bannocks. The chiefs expressed their regret at the massacre; laid the blame on Powell, the moun- taincer, as the instigator of the deed. From a variety of circumstances, Powell seems to have led on the Indians under the impression that the marching of the troops to ‘Utah in 1857 was cerfain war with the Mormons. The Bannocks are anxious for the Mormons to go to and settle again among them. Great Sart Laxg Crry, U. T., April 7, 1980, Judge Eckels in Collision with the Probate Judges— Mormon Thieves Released from the Penitentiary—Thirticth Anni_ versary of the Organization of the Mormon Church— Highly Interesting Confession—Charges Against the Governor and Dr. Forng,, cc. My last week's correspondence was forwarded by the ordinary mail; the present communication I forward by the Pony Express, which, in all probability, will pags the old slow arrangement somewhere about Kearney. Las week we were quiet and peaceable; this weck we are again in commotion. Last week there were ploasing Prospects of getting rid of a good portion of the scum of this population, but Judge Eckels has decreed it other- wise. He has liberated them from the penitentiary, and they are at the present writing parading the streots as in different and independent as if all Uncle Samdum was under peculiar obligation to scrape and do them honor. ‘The people are indignant, and to the threats of the libe- rated have their plans of Lynch devised.

A gentleman in- formed me last evening that it was contemplated to re- arrest the liberated—on the aflidavits, I think, of those who heard their threats the Territorial officers, the witnesses and their jurors. They are not expected to submit to the action of any officer of the law, and in that cage some one is not unlikely, in the vernacular of this Territory, “to go under.” This would bring the affair to ‘a crisis, as the temper and disposition of the people leave no room to doubt their anxiety for the inauguration of Lynch. Neither of the other federal officers knew anything of the Judge’s intention of liberating the prisoners, and onl; learned of the fact after they were en route for Camp Floy: The Marshal, as a United States oflicer, bad a right to ex- pect a call for nis services; instead of which, however, “the Judge sent the writs of habeas corpus by the hand of & brother of one of the prisoners, who is himself now un- der indictment for grand larceny. ‘This Wheeler was accompanied to the penitentiary by Lot Smith, with whom Bill Hickman bad the shooting affray on Christmas morn- ing. Regarding it in the light of insult, you may jadge of the state of feeling here. THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS. The question of jurisaiction of the Probate Court 1 must leave till next mail, as the Pony Express is expected in every minute, and with the apprehension of its arrival at the gound of every horse foot, I scarcely think I could do justice to the subject. This much, however, may be said, the question of jurisdiction cannot be effectually de- cided by Judge,Kckels. The Goveraor noticed it in his last message, and I believe has laid the question before the | proper authority at Washington. While this solution is daily looked for, his Honor might have allowed the Pro- bate Court to continue its functions undisputed and its ac- tion unrevoked till the proper authority had decided the = |, especially as the guilt of the prisoners is unques- uoned. ‘Allowing the present state of things to go on, where is there any possibility of preventing vioodshed and confu- sion? If the Probate Court, bave now no civil and crim- inal jurisdiction, as accorded to them by the Legislature, and which they have exercised for eight years, and that harmoniously with the greater number of district judges who have been in the Territory, what isto be done with criminals. Judges Sinclair and Cradiebaugh went to wire. working at Washington, and his Honor Judge Eckels says that he is going to leave immediately that the roads are comfortable eastward. Who then shall administer civil and criminal jurisdiction? The justices of the peace are limited to very small business. The district judges have never stayed in the Territery, but have been more than one-hsif of their time away on pleasure. This led the citizens here to clothe the Probate Courts with the juris- diction neceasary to deal with criminals, and preserve life and property. TAR GREAT CONFERENCE. The Mormons are now celebrating the 30th anniversary of the organization of their church, and in their pesuliar style are having a fine time of it. ’ Notwithstanding the unfavorable wintry weather of the last eight days, tnore are a great number of people in the city from the different parts of the Territory. The street facing tne Temple block is crowded like a fair with wagons, carriages, horses and mules, awaiting thoir owners return from “worship- | ping in the Tabernacle.” Tht commodious building is pet gg at every session, and thousands hang around outside. ‘The conference should properly only have commenced yes- terday, but as the Mormons fast ani pray the first Tavra, day of every month, the gathering of the people commenced on the 5th. I intended to have given a historical letter by this mail, but the, by me, unlooked for ermine squab. ble, and consequent commotion, has thrown it back to another opportunity. I have attended the Conference thus far, and heard and witnessed enough for a full pic- ure of this, to the Mormons, very interesting Confer- nee. INTERESTING CONFESSION OF ALMERIN GROW. At the Thursday meeting there was fuil liberty ac. corded to the congregation to speak. On that occasion there was a very lively time, and,as the Methodists say great outpouring of the spirit. ‘Among the number of thoge who spoke was that singular genius, Grow, whose mame was mixed up with prisoners during the winter cam- Daign of the army on Ham’s Fork, afterward at Washing- ton, as one of the accusers of the Mormons for burning the United States library, that was never burned, and the burning or destroying of some property ot Judge Styles—a former Mormon bat now opponent. Grow, when at Washington, made ajffidavit against Brigham Young, charging him with having not only coun- tenanoed the ebullition of f against Styles, but with having said from the desk of the Tabernacle that he timony. On Thursday, Grow rose in the tabernacle and begged leave to make a confession. Three thousand faces were turned toward him, wondering what was coming next. When all was breathless silence, he made very bum! ackr.o wledgement bornness, And said, on the subject of his ‘amous Washington afllda: th tthe Lord will make the wrathof man praise him. I bave o wrong in this matter aa well ts other matters, but this I regret the most, 7 ifeitlews Not content with the of the foregoing once iy told no flatering tale of the Judge and his friends at Wash- gion.

The ‘Prophet’ isa terribly plain spoken mun om such eocasions. He was in good humor, 3 bus with it all he fairly flayed Grow, or, as they not leaves grease spot of him.’’ Grow had too much; be had lied and had become tho tool of designing men who sought to bring treuble Israel; for the present he was left to the tender mercies of the devil and am accus- ee tay Brigh d the, ties ‘esterday aM ani leading apostics, seven! and high priests, all bore fees mt yy the divinity of Mormonism, andeaid many rioh things for another letter. At the close of the meeting Brother Ballou’s brass band entertained tho saints with some good and lively music. To-day the vusiness of the ference is being auended to, and missionaries are reesiving notification to put out for the States and Europe. Following their appointment, Brigham gave them very plain instructions about bebav- ing themselves, benefiting the people instead of oppress- ing them, aad promised that if they did otherwise be would expose them. THE CHARGRS AGAINST THE GOVERNOR AND DR. FORNKY. In the inst number of the Deseret News the Governor notices the present report in the East of his misapplying the Contingent Fund in the payment of a confident cierk. Judge Cradiebaugh is the chief accuser, assisted by Dr. Garland Hurt, Morris Smith and James G. Camp- bell. gentlemen assert that the Governor had no such clerk, and doubted the name given by the Governor for the two years’ salary charged. The Governor can give, and I presume has done so, a very satisfactory reply to this charge on his integrity. ‘Under the peculiar cir- Cumstsove of his position, where ke could not trust Gen- that confidential position, he begged Mrs. Cumming to act in that capacity—which that lady has faithfully done. And nome know better thaa his ac- oy MN oy’s dictation. I believe that Gentile’and Jew here alike cou, demn the course of Judge’ Cradiebaugh, regarding his present attack upon the nor as vindictivences for the Governor's ezposé of his foolishness and incessant efforts to embroil the citizens ana the troope.

A gentleman who has just passed through Illinois and Towa says that spring wheat is about six inches high, and looking remarkably well. Farmers there, taught by sad experience of the failure of particular crops, are now adopting the judicious policy of diversifying their pro- ducts, and especially of turning a part of their attention to cattle and green crops. They therefore expec? no more such disastrous seasons as they have experien: ‘or it appears that farmers who acted upon the above pla, well,even in the worst ycars.

We saw a gentleman from. the southern part of the State, also another from the im- terior part of the State, the other day, and we were in- formed upon inquiry, that the winter wheat sowed in those sections looked remarkably well—promised a good yield at harvest. ‘The principal part of the wheat sown in Iowa is spring wheat, and of the prospects of the crop we can say nothing definite, as the result depends entirely, or nearly 80, upom the weather from this out.

PENNSYLVANIA. ‘The Pittsburg Journal of the 19th inst. says:—We have sad reports about the peaches. We are told that through all this region the ‘freeze’ of last Saturday night destroyed all the earlier and most valuable kinds of this delicious fruit.

The Hastings Pioneer of the 14th inst. says :—‘‘ The heavy rains of the past week bave been very refreshing to vegetation, and already the fields are beginning to look green. “The maple sugar season is closed, and a very large amount bas been made." The Ann Arbor Local of the 17th, says :—* Wheat on the ground never looked better than now.’” KENTUCKY, ‘The Louisville Courier says:—We are informed by a gentleman from Nelson county, that in his neighborhood the prospect for the wheat crop is very unpromising. In fact, in many instances the farmers have plowed up the wheat and planted corn. Few farms in that section will raise more than haif a crop, ‘TENNESSER. The Dyersburg Recorder says—We learn that the wheat crop bids fair to become an average ono. Many of thoze who were on the eve of plowing up their wheat fields, thinking the crop would prove an utter failure, inform us that the present indications are for a fair field. GEORGIA. We are gratified to loarn, says the Marietta Statesman, that the wheat crop is much better than has been antici- pated. Many say that their wheat is very good, and Promises an abundant yield.

On Saturday, captain and two other officers of the corvette, some of the sailors, and Lieutenant Brooke, went to the marble yardof Mr. L. R.

THE WASHOR MINES. ‘The rush for the Carson Valley mines is still on the in- crease. The hotels at Placerville are crowded, and large numbers are leaving every day. Many are detained for the lack of the indispensable means with which to cross over the mountains. Horses and mules are very scarce, and the stage seats are all engaged for some time ahead. Freights range from twenty to forty cents per pound from here to Virgiuia city. A correspondent of the Herald, writing from Carson City, March 17, says :—The excitement hore far excecds that on the western siope of the sierras. There is no mistake asto the mineral richness of these mountains. The value of claims is increasing every day. Men mako here in asingle day their thousands. This, however, is confined to the “Wall street sharpers,” or the knowing ones. Imusthore make a statement for the benefit of the thousands of our citizens who are intending to emi- grate to this woaderful country, and that is. that provi- sions are already scarce, and storms in the mountains aro antici for two months to come. Men are coming over here by hundreds, on foot, and all these mon havo to be fed. Provisions cannot be got through the moun- tains during these storms. Conzequently provisions must be scarce ; basides, with the mountains covered with snow, as they will be for along time to come, it will be almost impossible for laboring men to get any kind of em- ployment. The whole country is as bleak as in mid-winter in the Atlantic States. But take the country all im all it is one of the beet for a person to retrieve lost for- tunes a man ever saw. I would by all means advise those who expect to labor for their money not to come for at least two months yet. dissuade men of this class from coming to this land of sil. yer and gold. Ten miles of the mountains are covered with snow from five to twenty feet in depth. We, in passing from Placerville, got snow bound, and were detained in the mountains seven days and nights. The trip was a se- re one. ae to a Territorial organization of this section of coun- try, allow me to say that I honestly believe it to be an imperative duty. Congress owes it to the people of the Territory to promptly give them the organization they ask for. It is the height of folly—nay, it is madneas—io attempt to force Mormons and Gentiles to liva to: gether. Every interest, polltically and gocially, is against it; the one or the other must be crushed out. The war is right here. The Mormons are now violating the decisions of the Supreme Court of this Territory. They are crowding upon them officers of their choosing. who, in all thetr decisions, favor the buily, the shoulder- striker, the robber and murderer, at the present expense of American people now flocking from our State to this place. We have no law. We are throatened at this time with an uprising of the people to crush out the rowdies, robbers and murderers in our midst, to the great detri- ment of the peace and happiness of a virtuous and out- raged people.

The second case exhibited similar indications of the disease. ‘The Commissioners then proceeded to the farm of Al: B. Woodis, of New Braintree, whose entire hera of eigh- teen bead were killed. The disease was introuced into this berd by the temporary presence of oxem from the farm of Mr. Curtis Stoddard.
