Important rrom Utan.—The Marysville Herald bas received intelligence from Utah, of an
important character if true. The information
is derived from a man named Martin, who left
Col. Alexander’s camp, on Ham’s Fork, about
140 miles east of Salt Lake, on the 2d of October, and traveling north of the Mormon settlements, arrived in Honey Lake Valley on the
16th of November. It seems that Col. Alexander is in command of the advance regiment of
the forces designed for Utah, and Col, Johnston,
who was in command of the main body, had not
at the time Mr. Martin left Ham’s l’ork arrived
at that place. Brigham Young had sent a proclamation to Col. Alexander, forbidding all armed forces of every description from coming into
Utah on any pretence whatever ; commanding
the forces of the Tarritory to hold themselves
in readiness to march at a moment’s notice to
repel invasion, and declaring martial law in the
dents should be solicitous to know how it has
been contracted and what are the means for its
payment. So far as the identical warrants outstanding for the sum named, $104,545,92 with
the interest thereon, there can be no doubt but
that the revenues of the next four years, viz.,
1858, 1859, 1860 and 1861 will scarcely afford
sufficient means to redeem them, and during
those four years, it is probable that under the
present system a still larger amount will have
to be paid for the current expenses of the coun.
ty government.
The following is believed to be a fair estimate
of the annual revenue of the years 1858, °59,
60, °61, with the sources from which it is to be
derived:
Property tax on $4,000,000 at 50 cts, on the $100, $20,000
Les: fees of collector 1,400
18,600
Net amount from foreign miner's licenses 4,500
Amount from merchant's licenses 4,000
Amount from poll tax 2,500

Before Courts, all criminals should stand alike,
previous to trial, and are entitled to a fair and
impartial investigation into the charges made
against them, and, in the opinion of the Judge,
newspapers made an improper use of their power, if, while a case is pending, they endeavor to
influence or warp the judgment of the jury seleted to try the cause.

frem Salt Lake to some point east of Ham’s

movements of Col. Jobnston ; and he is also of
the opinion that before this time a battle has
been fought.
There is reason to doubt the correctness of
thie intelligence. The proclamation is dated
the 15th of September; but persons who left
Salt Lake City a month later have no knowledge of such a proclamation having been issued.
If it was really promulgated, as stated, it must
have been designed exclusively for circulation
among the government troops. The proclamation, however, is in keeping with the other acts
and declurations of the Mormon prophet, and
should it prove to be a hoax, it is one very well
calculated to deceive.

To the abeve may be added ten cents addi. tional on the one hundred dollars, authorized
. by the act of 1857—the other ten cents being by
. that act appropriated to defray the current ex. penses of the county, other than the saleries of
. county officers. That ten cents on the assessed
value of all the taxable property of the county,
estimated at $4,000,000, would give $4000. and
after deducting expenses of collection, $400,
would leave $3,600 per annum, or in four years
$14,400. Add to thir the $13,854,08, and we
have the sum of $28,254,08 to pay the interest
on the outstanding debt during the period of
four years, Considering that the indebtedness is
redeemed from time to time as the money is

the amount of interest which must accrue upon

Among all the State officers elected since the
organization of the State government, none
have proved so corrupt and dishonest as the
late Treasurer. Imbecility of mind is the only
in making his collections—and it is also to be
observed that the estimate of the revenue from
poll tax is greater by One thousand dollars than
for the year ending last June. It seems incredible that with a voting population of some six or
seven thousand, and thata large number of
able-bodied residents not being voters, are subexcuse which has been urged in his favor, even
by his friends, but the investigation of bis official acts has shown conclusively that a want of
firmness is not his noly offense. There is a deficiency in his accounts of some seventy thousand
dollars, independent of the one hundred and
