Cass this morning from the Chief Justice of Utah, who accompanies the eipedition, dated Oct. 1.3.-- It materially confirms yesterday's intelligence touching the destructien of the train of wag ons beyond Ft4lLarainie. Two trains with seventy-eight . wagols4- were assailed by..the Mormons, at night, on the sth a October, in narrovi pass near Sweet Water, about 280 miles from Fort Laramie, and completely, destroyed: . No tufts were fest, Col.. Smith, with a fOree men , was near by, bin was not atia. These trains appear to rave been comparatively unguarded, and to have been - scattered along ithe- route, nut expecting a surprise. .They therefore fell an easy prey to their assailants. Col. Alettandr's party was in advance and hail at last accounts passed b e y and Green River. It is thought that be may be saved, if, he have the courage to retreat, but as to do that would involve a .disregard of his orders to advance, it seems doubtful whether the responsibility, of, disobeying them will be assumed.. • Serious apprehen. sions fur his fate are entertained: - Miigivings are -felt concerning the safety of a heavy sutler's train with a half million dollars worth :of supplies, which was behind that destroyed, It the• heavy snows should have turned it out, of the route taken by the other train, iris no improbable that it es. =Ted sharing': its tete. Otherwise its situa tion is very preduriotil.

Tra, The Mormon Attack_ on the Government Wasnitsorox, Nov. 14.—Despatehes cot. roborative of Judge Echols' were received this afternoon.. They say: The Mormons have opened thhill by burning three supply c tt trains—two on Green River and one on the Rig Sandy—the centre trains, Consisting in all of sexenty-eig wagons. , There was a council among the officers, and it was detirmined, after 'hearing the opinions of all die guides in relation to the country, to go arnsnd by Soda Springs, where the road forks forOtegon and California, and enter tie Salt Ikel'alley through an ex tensive valley w&re the arm! uill not ,be an impediment . This determination the ex pressman says, was approved of by Col. Johnston, who told him to say to everybody "that he intended to Wiaer in the valley or not at all" - - . The Mormons are congregated in large numhers, even on this side of the mountain, burning the grass; and are determined, it seems, to prevent the entrance of the troops into the valley any how. They are regularly enrolled in thousands, and if Col. Johnston enters the valley he • ran act only on the de fen,ive with his handful of men. The War Department is expecting des patches ram CAA. Johnstonl 'himself, sent through General Scott at headquarters.-- Should thedie not -arrive here to-morrow or by Monday morning, the whole report will be discredited by the department. Col, Johnston eertainly never permitted, an ex press to come back without sending offiCial de , patches by him. tar The capture of Delhi on the 20th of S.pteniber, before;iny of the European reen foreements had arrived, gladdens the heart of the English. Their loss however, was severe; amounting to 40 officers and 600 men, in an army of little mote than 4,000 Europeans. The center of the insurrection having thus come into British possession, all the forces may now safely be directed against Oude, which becomes the last focus of the mutineers, and probably the hiding place of the last of the Great Moguls, the deludedl,C,lng of Delhi, who has succeeded in escaping, together with his family. A long campaign is still required against the marauders and robber mains of the mutineers, who for &Tong time will be the scourge of the country; but the principal work - has. now been done, and no fuiliter disasters are to be appreb4tded. It seems, however, that the importatit town of Gays bas fallen into the bands -of the insdr gents, who had defisted a corps of Sikhs sent from Patut ttgainstibent.

The men of courage and faith will stand firm, with confidence unshaken in the final triumph of the right. Courage and perseverance are qualities essential'in a conflict with error and wrong; these r vith untiring activity, are the elements of success in all great revolutions. I look to the future with unshaken confi dence. Liberty cannot be crushed out in this age and country. -OppresSion has no charter from God, .\ The tyrant that exults in power, and defiantly assaults not the con. at:tutional rights of American citizenship, but the God-given rights of man, shall soon fall a lifeless and loathsome corpse, under the persevering and couragerius assaults of truth. The mere politician believes in the potency. of great interests.. He itoffs / itt the idea that any other than selfish nvi)tives influences the action of men. This insult, froth God and men, Truth and Justice are might ier than Selfishness and Wrong: The he roes and martyrs of out' race ,attest the no blenexe of humanity. Men are capable of the highest motives and the most loyal stead fastness to principle. Truth is never silent, but pleads ever, with irresistible persuasive. ness and power. There is strength in a no ble, self-sacrificing diiiiterestedness, baffling it. a just cause, that cannot be overcome.— All the gre;,t Moral forces of Nature are working unceasingly on the side . v.f the right. In the struggle of life we requirP strength in overcommgObstecles 'that beset our path.= 1 Disasters s test the constancy and courage of 1 parties as of men. In the nature of things i reverses must- come, but if we are true to the cause of Freedom. and humanity our triumph is certain ; nor will the day be long postponed. ' Oppression. injustice. and wrong cannot'statid against righteousness and truth _ir so Omnipotence is dethroned—then is the eartht a province of the Evil One, and man the helpless victim of his malignity. • In the hour of disaster and defeat, we musi, 'preset ve . an abiding faith in rectitude, and in, 44 the living energies of the Trath. We must . . never despond, nor weary in the performance of our high duties, There is. nothing in the 1 result of the late election that should fora I moment dishearten our hopes or relax our efforts. It has not changed the esset tint na ture of things, it has not made the wrong right, this is beyond the power of a majority. Majorities can make the rulers of to-day, but they cannot make oppression just, nor erad icate from the hearts of men hatred of the oppreseor. 'They may uphold for a time vi olence and•fraud by the strong arm of mili tary power, but they cannot lawfully take from man the rights with which his : Maker has invested him. Not a stone in the citadel of our strength has been thrown down; we still stand on the impregnable rock of Truth. The tyranny, outrage and wrong against which we protest, is in no . degree. extenuated by a majority given against us. Oppression has gained a new lease of power, but not an: iota of sanction for its• cruelty and injustice. Let us renew our vows to Freedom. and I gain strength fur future conflicts, by divesting ourselves of every selfish and ignoble desire.
