Important from Utah.
Direct from Salt Lake--- Officers of the Utah
Expedition in Salt Lake city—Conversation
with Brigham Young-2ltormon rims.
(prom the Saereanentotlnion.]
The mail-carrier arrived Oct. 28., from Car
son Valley, bringing the express, U. S. mail,
and important dispatches direct from Salt
Lake City, sent by a Mormon to his friends
in Carson Valley. The express found no dif
ficulty in coining through ; in fact, the trail
is open sufficiently for the passage of pack
animals, the greatest depth of snow on Ne
vett's Summit being less than three feet.
The following are the main particulars of
the Salt Lake news, which is condensed from
a copy of a despatch brought by express :
The Mormon train, after leaving Carson
Valley, got-along very well, and without any
difficulty with Indians. Nine of us left the
train at the head of Humboldt, and pushed
on for our destination, Salt Lake City, arriv
ing there eight days ahead of the tram, mak
ing the trip in thirty days. We suffered con
siderably from the cold, but there was no snow
of any account. We are all in good spirits.
I will give you the particulars in regard to
the war here. The troops arrived at Fort
Bridger seven weeks ago, with an enormous
caravan of horses, mules, and cattle. They
wanted to come into the Valley to establish
the laws of the United States, and put down
polygamy ; release all those who wanted to
leave, agreeing to furnish them teams and
means to reach either California or the States.
Sonic: of the• head officers have been into
the city to purchase grain and such things as
they wanted to use.
.They had a talk with
Brigham, and told him they came to civilize
the people, establish schools, &c. Brigham
said to them that he didn't want them there,
but told them if they would lay down their
arms they might come and stay there this win
ter, and he would find them provisions for the
winter, and they could leave in the spring for
the States or California. They replied that
they knew no orders only from the President
of the United States, and wore there to come
into Salt Lake City in spite of Brigham or
old Christ. Brigham told them if they wore
bound to come, why not come ? what made
them stay where they were ? We have taken
from them 1,500 head of cattle and burnt
their wagons. We have now got the soldiers I
completely surrounded. Some of them have
deserted and come into the Valley. They
are well treated. The troops do not know
what to do. If they give up their arms and
come in peaceably they will be well treated ;
but, if they undertake to come in by force,
they will all be killed. The Mormons are all
in high spirits, and say they will die rather
than have the soldiers come into their midst.
Hundreds of the boys are anxious to kill the
soldiers, but Brigham won't let them, One
of the soldiers, an Irishman, said he was com
ing in, and would take one of -Brigham's
wives and promenade through the streets
with her. Ido not feel alarmed, as I think
it will come out all right in the end. I wish
you were here to see a war-dance."
The foregoing particulars are certified to as
as correct, by a gentleman from Carson Val
ley, well known here, who is acquainted with
the parties who received the communication,
which is dated Salt Lake City, Nov. 5. •
FURTHER INTELLIGENCE DIRECT FROM THE MOR
MON CAMP.
[Prom the Nevada Journal.]
Mr. L. D. Grover, a friend from home
land, dropped in upon us the other day, di
rect from Salt Lake. Mr. Grover came with
Mr. Bell, of Livingston, Kincaid & Co., to
San Barnardino and substantiates the reports
from the Mormon settlements published by
that gentleman. He says the accounts of out
rages committed at Salt Lake, cannot be ex
aggerated. No tongue can tell the state of
things there existing. One must see with his
own eyes to comprehend all. A fellow clerk
was taken out of the store in which Mr. Gro
ver was, and beaten almost to death in the
street. No cause was assigned for the com
mission of the deed. Stealing, burglary, rob
bery, and all the higher crimes, are of fre
quent•occurrence, and if the blow falls upon
a Gentile no notice is taken of it.
The Saints are so infatuated as to believe
that they are able not only to withstand the
- United States, but to conquer eventually the
whole country. They boast that they will
one day go back to Jackson county, Missouri,
and obtain the land from which they were
driven by Governor Boggs. However, Brig
ham, when the spirit of the Lord moves him,
takes good care to predict, if the Saints are
beaten by the United States troops, the Mor
mons will re-enact the tragedy of Moscow,
burn the city and flee to the mountains.—
There seems to be a doubt entertained by
the leaders of the fanatics that they are om
nipotent.
Among the Mormons, the only course pro
posed in the hearing of Mr. Grover, in case
of defeat, is to go northward. Some speak
of taking up a position in a valley twenty
seven miles beyond Salt Lake, which is
strong by nature, and can be made still more
so by art ; and with two or three years' pro
visions, which they are said to have on hand,
they hope to be able to stand out against
any force that can be brought to oppose
them. One serious want the Mormons labor
under, they have no artillery; three six
pounders constitute the entire heavy ord
nance of the Saints. Efforts have been made
tc cast larger pieces, but failed. Good small
arms are being manufactured diligently.
Notwithstanding the anticipated collision,
building and all sorts of expensive improve
ments are going on as usual, and by men
high in authority. This seems a little strange,
but the Mormons are a strange people.
stay-Dr,.Anson Jones, ex-President of the
late Republic of Texas, committed suicide on
the Bth ult. He was a native of Philadelphia,
and a graduate of the university of Pennsyl
vania. He went to Texas whilst it was yet a
province of Mexico, and took an active part
in the revolution, which resulted in its inde
pendence. He was engaged in the battle of
San Jacinto, as captain of a company. He
was subsequently Minister at Washington,
from the young Republic, President of the
Texan Senate, and by virtue of his office, be
came vice President and finally President of
Texas, which position he held at the period
of annexation to this country. He was but
recently a candidate for the office of IT. States
Senator to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Gen. Rusk, who, it will be remem
bered, also committed suicide.

Letter from Kansas.
[Correspondence of the Press.]
FORT SCOTT, KANSAS, Jan. 19,1858.
It is a matter of every-day remark in the'
East that the West cannot sustain itself be
cause of the " ruinous prices" it pays for the
use of money. The " panic" has put both
East and West to a very severe trial, in which
the West has proved itself equal to the worst
emergencies. Except in such places as St.
Paul, where speculation has run far ahead of
the development of the country, and where
the climate is -too cold to give back any great
return for the industry of the pioneer, there
is no serious embarrassment among Western
men. Take, as an illustration, the State of
Illinois. If her people have felt the pressure
of the times, it is only from outside influen
ces. She has grain enough in her granaries
to pay all her honest debts at the opening of
navigation.
We have good reasons to justify us in pay
ing high rates of interest. A good farmer
here, can get one hundred and sixty acres of
land, as good as any in Chester or Lancaster
counties, for $1.25 per acre. It will cost him
about $6 or $8 per acre to get it plowed and
fenced. The planting and gathering of the
crop will cost a few dollars more per acre, to
gether with his improvements, but his first
crop will pay all expenses, and leave him clear
of all incumbrances, a farm worth $2,000.
The first crop is what we call a " sod" crop.
It is usually corn planted in the upturned sod,
anytime between the Ist of April and the Ist
of June. It needs no harrowing, or plough
ing, or working of any kind. It usually
yields from fifteen to forty bushels to the acre,
and, owing. to the constant emigration, and
the. demand created by the military posts west
of us, readily averages, through the winter
and spring, 75 cents to $1.50 per bushel.
It is the practice of all our citizens to have,
each for himself, his farm or " claim" of 160
acres. This he may improve at his leisure.
Ile is sure to have a year, and, perhaps, lon
ger, in which to pay for it. If he chooses to
let it be unimproved, devoting all his time to
his trade or profession, the constant emigra
tion and the improvements around him will
be making it more valuable every day. Thus,
you see, a mechanic, besides getting good
wages, can be getting a good home for his
family. There are scores of good "claims"
in this county still untaken. The emigration
of the coming summer will absorb the best-of
them. It is quite probable that in two or
three years, no unimproved land in this coun
ty can be had for less than $5 per acre.—
Fort Scott will give value to every acre of
land in the county.
In addition to the richness of our soil, we
have an abundance of the best lime and sand
stone. Stone-coal of the best quality under
lies the town site, and projects from every
surrounding hill. It is in general use in the
town. Almost every "claim" contains it.—
A fine vein of Cannel coal may be seen on
the claim of Judge Williams, near town.
To give you an idea of the advance in the
price of property, I may as well give you an
instance that has fallen under my own obser
vation. It is, of course, an extreme case, but
you can hardly find a western town that can
not match it.
A claim of one hundred and sixty acres ad
joining the town site of Fort Scott, was sold
last Spring for $5O. The troubles in the Ter
ritory had thus kept down the price of prop
erty. When I was first here, towards the
last of June, I could have bought it for $5OO.
When I came back, in August, I advised my
friend to buy it at $1,600, which he did. It
is a great bargain at that price.
Yours, &c. G. A. C.
A PROFITABLE POSITION.—The office of
Flour Inspector of the City of Philadelphia
is one of the most lucrative in the gift of the
Governor. There is now a bill before the
Legislature to have two Inspectors instead of
one, but this does not meet with much ap
probation, and the bill will probably be de
feated. The Inspector-in-Chief generally ap
points three Inspectors, who do the labor at
low salaries. The fees, as authorized by law,
are one cent per barrel for flour and meal,
two cents each for hhds., and a half cent each
for half barrels. To a casual observer these
figures seem but a small compensation, but
by referring to the accompanying official state
ment of the inspections it will be seen that
the revenue is a handsome one :
INSPECTIONS IN 1857
Flour, barrels - - 623,296 at 1 cent, $6,232 96
" half barrels, 6,956 at 'IA " 29 73
Rye Flour, " 16,683 at 1 " 166 S 3
Corn Meal,' " 54,991 at 1 " 549 91
" half barrels, 475 at 34 " 2 3734
" hogsheads, 392 at 2 cents, 7 84
Total, $5,989 1434
Less salaries of three deputies, - - 1,500 00
Net profit, $5,489 14y 1
The inspectors are each furnished with a
scoop which they thrust into each -barrel,
drawing therefrom about a half pound of.
Flour or Meal, from which they draw their
conclusions as to the quality of the article,
and brand the barrel accordingly. This
scoop holds about a half pound of Flour or
Meal, which the Inspector keeps as his per
quisite. This is no small matter. The total
inspections last year were 682,770 barrels,
equal to 341,330 pounds, which at 3 cents per
pound, would net about $lO,OOO, to -which
must be added the fees, amounting to $5,489,
makig a total of $15,489. Who would not
be a Flour Inspector?
SUGGESTIVE.-A New Orleans paper pre
sents a very suggestive paragraph in the fol
lowing, which he entitles. "The March to
the grave of 1857 :"—"What a mighty pro
cession have been moving toward the grave
during the past year! At the usual estimate,
since the first of January, 1857, there have
been more than thirty-one millions five hun
dred thousand of the world's population gone
down to the grave. Place them in long array,
and they will give a moving column of more
than thirteen hundred to every mile of the
e& curl of the Globe. What a specta
cle, as they move tramp, tramp, tramp, the
'Dead March,' giving its funeral notes as
they gn to their silent graves !"
ImmeNereus, Jan. 29.—A mob at Ligon
ier arrested three counterfeiters on Tuesday
last and deliberately hanged one, and was
about to execute the second one in the same
manner, when it was agreed by a small ma
jority to let the law take its course. The
third one, who was guilty of making bogus
ooin, was also delivered into the hands of the
United States Deputy Marshal, and brought
here to-day for trial. They wore committed
to jail, in default of $2OOO bail.

LETTER PROM ESCAPED COUNTERFEITERS.-
The Norristown, I?egister of the 26th ult.,
says : "We have been presented with the
following copy of a letter sent to Mr. David
Cummings, of this county, by two individu
als named Charles Thomas and. Lewis 1 Al
len, who escaped recently from the jail it,t
Doylestown. It will be remembered that
these two distinguished. gentlemen weie ar
rested in Doylestown some time since by
Messrs. Cummings and. Clayton for passing
counterfeit money. They were both confined
in one room in the lower story of the left cor
ridor of the jail at that place. With a com
mon hand-saw they cut through their cell
floor into the cellar underneath, from which
they gained an entrance into the jail yard.
Then cutting up their bed. quilt, they made
a rope with which they succeeded in making
an escape. The letter speaks for itself, and
we publish it as a specimen of genuine im
pudence:
•
D. CUMMINGS :
" THE 2 GENTLEMEN OF VErtome
present their compliments to Mr. Cummings,
and are certainly obliged to him for the trou-,
ble he put himself to in arresting, theni

of your kindness on that occasion, and it
shall be gratefully reinemered as long as
we live. We hope you may live a thousand
years, also present our united compliments
to your wife and children. But we are now
free, thank heaven, though it took some
head work and hard work ; my hand is so

can hardly write a genteel letter ; however,
preSent our united compliments to the Sheriff
of Bucks, and all who in any manner con
tributed to our comfort during the time we
were boarding at that magnificent PUBLIC
HOTEL. They will no doubt excuse us for
not going through the usual compliments of

WHEN SHALL WE 3 MEET AGAIN
Another Chance for Santa Anna.
About six weeks ago we announced that
General Comonfort, aided by General-Zuloa
ga, commander-in-chief, had effected a new
revolution in Mexico, of which he was Presi
dent, and had succeeded in obtaining himself
recognized as Dictator, with a. power of re
modelling the Constitution whenever it suited
his own convenience. In a word, this was a
coup didn't, in the fashion of those effected
by the two Napoleons ; and there can scarce
ly be a doubt that, having thuS unrestricted
sovereign sway, the ambition of Comonfort
only awaited a facile and favorable opportu
nity of still further following the Napoleonic
example, and-assuming the title and dignity
of Emperor. There was precedent, in Mex
ico, for such a step.
It is within the memory of livinc , °
men, and
those not far declined in the vale of years,
that Augustin Iturbide, who mainly assisted
in freeing Mexico from the yoke of Spain ;
was proclaimed Emperor of Mexico, in May,
1822, with hereditary succession to his family
—the power of creating nobles—the right to
institute an Order of Knighthood, and all the
other Imperial accessories. He held this rank
for about ten months, and then abdicated, be
ing allowed a large yearly pension, on condi
tion that be would expatriate himself. But,
after a year's retirement, Iturbide returned to
Mexico, where he was executed as a public
enemy. At any rate, therefore, there has
I been an Emperor of Mexico in Modern times,
so that Dictator Comonfort could have strictly
followed precedent.
The course of politics, like that of true love,
never yet ran smooth. Scarcely had Comon
fort been seated in the Dictator's chair, be
fore he began to experience this. Mexico, he
had hoped, would have unanimously submit
ted to him, and, indeed, at first, whether in
fluenced by fear or policy, the leading provin
ces declared in his favor. Somehow or other,
the Dictator offended the army. The troops,
under General Zuloaga, who had originally
shown much zeal in placing Comonfort in his
new position, have turned against him, and
his authority is generally disputed, not only
in the city of Mexico, the seat of Government,
but in almost every part of the country. The
city itself is in a state of siege, and severe
conflicts had taken place between Comon
fort's adherents and the other parties. In
these encounters, Comonfort's troops had sen
erally been defeated. There seems little
chance that he can retain his position.
For the supreme power in Mexico, three
parties are actively agitatin—Comonfort to
retain his position, General Zuloaga, backed
by a portion of the military, and, strange to
say, Santa Anna.
If the chapter of accidents should'• again
raise Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna to su
preme power in Mexico, there will indeed be
great cause for surprise.—The Press.
.
A SINGULAR. STATENENT.—III Governor
Denver's message to the Teritorial Legislature
of Kansas, he calls attention to the existence
of a "Danite" Mormon organization in Kan
sas, whose members are bound by the most
solemn oaths and obligations to resist the laws,
take the lives of their fellow citizens, or com
mit any other act of violence that may be di
rected by their leaders; and to the existence of
this band he attributes certain assassinations
that have been recently perpetrated in the
Teritory. The Washington Union suggests a
complicity between the disturbers of the peace
in Kansas and the Mormon traitors, which
has been rumored before, and that possibly
the necessity for retaining the Utah expedition
in Kansas during the past summer may have
been created by Brigham Young's agents:
and, as a consequence, he was thus enabled
to maintain his power at Great Salt Lake City
a year longer. It is believed, also, that the
"bogus" telegraphic despatches concerning
the condition and progress of the military ex
pedition against Utah, which generally reach
here two or three days in advance of the wore
reliable information, are, furnished by : phis
Mormon agent in Kansas. The statement of
the existence of the organization is certainly
a singular one, and coming from official sour
ces, seems entitled. to belief. The Govern
ment will, no doubt, institute such inquiries
as will establish its truth or falsity.
ttels.in New York, on Tuesday last, a. man
named Francis McHugh, on trial for high
way robbery, though he only stole a plug of
tobacco, a lead pencil and a three cent piece,
was sentenced by Judge. Russel to thirteen
years and nine months in the State Prison.

THE GREAT LIBRARY OFFER—AGENTS GETTING
RICH!!!
The union of Emerson's Magazine and Putnam's Monthly
has given to the consolidated work a circulation second to
but one similar publication in the country, and has secur
ed for it a combination of literary and artistic talent prob
ably unrivaled by any other Magazine in the world. Du
ring the first month, the sale in the trade and demand from
subscribers exceeded 90,000 copies, and. the numbers al
ready Issued of the consolidated work are universally con
ceded tolmve surpassed, in the richness of their literary
contents, and the beauty and proftisenes4 of their pictorial
illustrations, any magazine ever before issued from the
American press. Encouraged by these evidences of favor,
the publishers have determined to commence the now vol
ume in January with still additional attractions, and to
offer such inducements to subscribers as cannot fail to
place it, in circulation, at the head of American magazines.
With this view they now announce the following splendid
programme.- They have purchased that superb and costly
steel-plate engraving,
"THE LAST SUPPER,"
and will present it to every three-dollar subscriber for the
year 1853. It was engraved at a cost of over $5,000, by
the celebrated A. L. Dick, from the _original of Raphael
Morghen, after Leonardo Da Vinci, and is the largest steel
plate engraving ever executed in this country, being throe
times the size of the ordinary three-dollar engravings.
The first impressions of this engraving are held at ton
dollars, and it was the intention of the artist that none of
the engravings should ever be offered for a less sum than
five dollars, being richly worth that amount. Thus every
three-dollar subscriber will receive the Magazine one year
—cheap at three dollars—and this splendid engraving,.
richly worth $5; thus getting for $3 the value of $6.
We shall commence striking off the _engravings immedi
ately, yet it can hardly be expected that impressions of so
large a plate can be taken as fast as they will be called
for by subscribers. We shall, therefore, furnish them in
the order in which subscriptions are received. Those who
desire to obtain their engravings early, and from the first
impressions, should send in their subscriptions without
delay. The engraving can be sent on. rollers, by mail, or
in any other manner, as subscribers shall order.

In addition to the superb engraving of " The Last Sup
per," which will be presented to every three-dollar sub
scriber for 1858, the publishers have completed arrange
ments for the distribution, on the 25th,of December, /858,
of a series of splendid works of art, consisting of one hun
dred rich and rare Oil Paintings, valued at from $lOO to
$l,OOO each. Also 2,000 magnificent Steel-Plate Engra
vings, worth from three to five dollars each, and 1,000
choice Holiday Books, worth from one to five dollars each,
snaking, in ail, over three thousand gifts, worth twenty
thousand dollars.
El
Inclose $3 to the publishers and you will commence re
ceiving the Magazine.by return mail. You will also re
ceive with the first copy ft numbered subscript ion receipt
entitling you to the engraving of
"THE LAST SUPPER,"
and a chance to draw ono of these "threirthousand prizes."
REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD . SUBSCRIBE FOR
EMERSON'S. MAGAZINE FOR 1858.
EJ
.
Ist. Because its literary contents will,dunng the year,
embrace contributions from over one' hundred different
writers and thinkers, numbering anions them the most
distinguished of American authors.
2d. Because its editorial departments, "Our Studio,"
"Our Window," and "Our Olio," will each be conducted
by an' able editor—and it will surpass, in the variety and
richness- of its editorial contents any other magazine.
3d. Because it will contain, during the year, nearly six
hundred original pictorial illustrations from designs by the
first Americarrartists,
4th. Because for the sum of 53 you • will' receive this
splendid monthly, more richly 'worth that sum than any
other magazine, and the superb engraving of "The Last
Supper," worth• $5.
sth. Because you will be very likely to draw one of the
three thousand prizes to be distributed on the 25th day of
December, 1858—perhaps one that is worth $l.OOO.
Notwithstanding that these extraordinary inducements
can hardly fail to accomplish the object of the publishers
without further efforts, yet they have determined to con
tinue through the year,
THE GREAT LIBRARY °FAIL.
