Johnson, killing 180 of his men, and foreing him to retreat. The news, it in said, was sent to Col. Steptoe, at Fort Walla Walls, by express. No particulars are given, and the report needs confirmation. If it should preve true, however, no one will be surprised, as it must be evident to all that the Mormens have been preparing to resist the Federal autherities. The latest intelligence received from Col. Johnson’s command, was to the effeet that Col. Alexander, who was in command ef thefadvance guard, had left Ham’s Ferk and started for Fort Hall, with the intention, probably, of taking up winter quarters in the vicinity of that place, where there is an abundance of grass for the subsistance ef stock, and the snow is seldem deep. The distance from Fort Hall to Fort Walla Walla is less thanfive hundred miles, and an express could be sent from one point to the other ina week or ten days. The Indians on this route are geuerally frien@ly towards the whites, and an express rider could be sent through with little danger of being molested, and a change of horses could be procured at Fort Boise. If the reported couflict really took place, it must have occurred near Fort Hall; and in sending the intelligence through to the Pacific coast, Col. Johnson weuld undoubtedly have sent by way of Oregon, as being che least dangerous route. An express started through for California would in all probability have been cut off by the Mormons. Brigham Young has frequently declared from the pulpit that the treops on the mareh for Utah should not enter Salt Lake Valley. He told Capt Van Vliet, who was sent on to confer with him, the same thing; and added that if a ferce sufficient to overpower them was sent out next year, that every house in Utah would be burned to the ground, evety field laid waste, and the country made a desert. “We have,” says Young, “three years provisions on hand, which we will cache, and then take to the mountains and bid defiance to all the powers of the government.” There is no doubt that the Mormons are fully determined to carry out this threat. Rather than submit to the civil authority of the country in which they reside. they are prepared, at the command of one man te lay waste their homes, and live like wild beasts. We may pity the miserable followers of the Mormon delusion, who thus voluntarily allow themselves to become the slaves and dupes of crafty unscrufulous imposters, but cost what it may, the Federal government must assert and maintain its supremacy in Utah Territory, If the Mormons cannot live under American lawa let them emigrate to the British Possessions in the north, or to Mexico in the south. RIN Pracer Diaeinos vs. Quartt.—A suit has recently been commenced in Placer county, styled Placer Diggings va. Quartz.

It seems that a powerful effort is to be made to procure Butler’s pardon. We have no desire that Butler should be bung, and if he could be set free in justice to the community, we should: rejoice in his unconditional. pardon, A few months ago petitions were got up against a commutation of the sentence of Frank Moore, who shot a man while in the act of raising a pistol to shoot him. Batler, deliberately shot an unarmed man, without the least provocation. In Sier. ra county. where the facts were known a strong prejudice existed against him. So great was this prejudice, that a jury could not be procured in that county, and the ease was removed to Nevada. Here he was tried by an impartial jury, and no one could bave heard the evidence without being convinced that he was guilty of a heartless murder. It may seem somewhat . strange that the same parties who clamored 40 . loudly for the blood of Moore, should now be, endeavoring to procure a pardon for Batler.— .

The decisions in these cases are looked for with much interest, as many similar cases are likly te occur in the mines. The question will doubtless have to be adjudicated by the Supreme Court before it is definitely settled. In this connectiom it is proper to state, that quartz leads ean be worked without interfering with placer claims lying above them. Placer miners claim the quartz leads lying under their claims on the old commou law principle, that a man’s land extends to. the centre of the earth. —_— Sap Accrpent ar Forest Crry.—The San Jaan Star learns that on Sunday evening, Nov. 29th, as the workmen in the Washington Co.'s claims Forest City, were going om their night watch, Mr. EB. Ames (a stock-holder in the company,) weut to the shaft in order to descend to his work, but ashe stepped into the tub, the horse became suddenly frightened and turned in the opposite direction, drawing the tub up to the pulley, upsetting it and pitching Mr. A. headforemost down the opposite cempartment of the shaft. He fell a distance of 85 feet, and on being brought to the surface, he so far recovered as to beable to speak, but it soon became apparent that he could not survive. After about fifteen hours of mortal agony, he expired. Mr. Ames was from Amesville, Boone county, Illinois, and was aged about 26 years. He had resided in Sierra county since 1852, and poe been largely interested in mining in Ferest ty.

Jomxson Recattep.—The Alta learns from a reliable source, that just previous to the sailing of steamer from New York, orders were forwarded to Col. Johnson, iu command of the troops approaching Salt Lake, not to enter the Salt Lake Valley until further orders. We presume that this course had been adopted by the administration, because satisfactory news had been received of the belligerent opposition which would be offered by Governor Young, and knowing that the small force under Col. Johnsen would be unable to cope with him, and that reinforcements could not reach him until winter had set in, the only prudent course was to atay proceedings for the present.

He had been employed for some tithe in the Pacific Museum, and having witnessed the wonnerful performtempt to remove the snakes from one eage to . another.

Johnson, killing 180 of his men, and foreing him to retreat. The news, it in said, was sent to Col. Steptoe, at Fort Walla Walls, by express. No particulars are given, and the report needs confirmation. If it should preve true, however, no one will be surprised, as it must be evident to all that the Mormens have been preparing to resist the Federal autherities. The latest intelligence received from Col. Johnson’s command, was to the effeet that Col. Alexander, who was in command ef thefadvance guard, had left Ham’s Ferk and started for Fort Hall, with the intention, probably, of taking up winter quarters in the vicinity of that place, where there is an abundance of grass for the subsistance ef stock, and the snow is seldem deep. The distance from Fort Hall to Fort Walla Walla is less thanfive hundred miles, and an express could be sent from one point to the other ina week or ten days. The Indians on this route are geuerally frien@ly towards the whites, and an express rider could be sent through with little danger of being molested, and a change of horses could be procured at Fort Boise. If the reported couflict really took place, it must have occurred near Fort Hall; and in sending the intelligence through to the Pacific coast, Col. Johnson weuld undoubtedly have sent by way of Oregon, as being che least dangerous route. An express started through for California would in all probability have been cut off by the Mormons. Brigham Young has frequently declared from the pulpit that the treops on the mareh for Utah should not enter Salt Lake Valley. He told Capt Van Vliet, who was sent on to confer with him, the same thing; and added that if a ferce sufficient to overpower them was sent out next year, that every house in Utah would be burned to the ground, evety field laid waste, and the country made a desert. “We have,” says Young, “three years provisions on hand, which we will cache, and then take to the mountains and bid defiance to all the powers of the government.” There is no doubt that the Mormons are fully determined to carry out this threat. Rather than submit to the civil authority of the country in which they reside. they are prepared, at the command of one man te lay waste their homes, and live like wild beasts. We may pity the miserable followers of the Mormon delusion, who thus voluntarily allow themselves to become the slaves and dupes of crafty unscrufulous imposters, but cost what it may, the Federal government must assert and maintain its supremacy in Utah Territory, If the Mormons cannot live under American lawa let them emigrate to the British Possessions in the north, or to Mexico in the south.

It seems that a powerful effort is to be made to procure Butler’s pardon. We have no desire that Butler should be bung, and if he could be set free in justice to the community, we should: rejoice in his unconditional. pardon, A few months ago petitions were got up against a commutation of the sentence of Frank Moore, who shot a man while in the act of raising a pistol to shoot him. Batler, deliberately shot an unarmed man, without the least provocation. In Sier. ra county. where the facts were known a strong prejudice existed against him. So great was this prejudice, that a jury could not be procured in that county, and the ease was removed to Nevada. Here he was tried by an impartial jury, and no one could bave heard the evidence without being convinced that he was guilty of a heartless murder.
