J KOM UTAH IIVAOI ATIOS OF SALT LAKK CITY.
Los Ancrlor,' April 2U. I.-jS.
Thero is some very interesting news from
Utah. It comes through a party arrived at
San lternardiuo in bucksklu drusscR, on the
JOth iust. In the parly were Messrs. I,
Clark, 1. Storks, Joo Matthews and others,
recent residents of San Bernardino, and sov
cral old residents of Suit Lako.
Col. Katie, who appears to be acting aa
Commissioner, with powers to treat, after
a conferenco with Jirighain Young, had gone
to Camp Scott, ns Fort liridgcr is uow
called, llwus believed thut tlio movements
which followed were tho results of his con
ferences with tho conflicting parties. 15rig
hnm Young has issued a circular to all his
followers, commanding them not to fight, nor
oven oppose tho army of (Jen. Johnston, and
that as tho army advances, they rctiro from
tho uorthorn to tho southern counties, llo
commands Ins people to avoid nil contact
with tho soldiers, as it is not good for them
to meet. With their wives, their littlo ones
and their herds, they are to vacato tho coun
try of Salt Lake, including tho city, which is
to bo given up to the use of the soldiers, who
are thero ordered to erect a military post.
This circular was seen and read by these
gentlemen, but they did not bring ono of
them on. When they left the movemcut hnd
already begun, and they assert that by this
timo tho city is vacated, and the army of
Licuoral Cunimings is in occupation. All
thoughts of war or of fighting aro abandoned,
and it is believed that peace will prevail
from this timo fuqjb. There no longer exists
among thorn any iutention of destroying their
property or leaving it, believing that Tor all
losses they sustain in consequence of the oc
cupation by tho troops, they will have a claim
upon tho Government. The retiring popula
tion aro to form colonies in tho south, upon
tho Colorado, the Mohave, and in tho valleys
of tho Sierra Nevada. Many of thoso who
left San Bernardino wero badly treated in
Suit Lake, because they "came from hell."
It is said that tho peoplo have censed to uso
sugar, tea, codec, and other articles which

beennso these things aro not to bo hud.
There is also said to bo a scarcity of materiul
for women's clothing, and many of them go
dressed in pants and coats. The people of
tho southern settlements are almost in open
rebellion against tho Church. They aro
taxod so enormously for tho support of their
nrmy that their substance is nearly eaten up.
The tax amounts to 'S.i per cent, of their
wholo property. Theso facts aro discredited
from the fact that they coma through Mor

6, A. M., a hand camo into the office and
smelling something liko burning paper, ran
up to tho third story, and discovered the

bably, fiOO weight of paper tied up in rolls,
somo of them wrapped iu coarse paper, on
lire, which was fortunately extinguished by
tho timely application of several buckets of
water, although tho flames had already
reached the ceiling.
Tho floor, under tho pile of popcrs, in two
largo spots, was charred to the depth of one
half of an inch. Several broken matches were
found on the floor, and tho mark of a match
on the wall. The fire was evidently placed
under the rolls, but being tied up burnt slow

more would have enveloped the wholo mass
in flames. The deed was evidently dono not

THE I.ETTHO AT LOCK HAVE.
We attended the lotting of tho uiiGuishcd
work of tho Suubury and Krie Railroad, be
tween Williamsport and Lock Haven. We
left homo on Monday, tho last day of May,
and the last of tho ''rainy season," at half
past eight A. M., and arrived at Williams
port at a quarter past ten having tra
veled the 40 miles in less time than it would
take to tel! a long yarn. At cloven we em
barked on ono of tho pockets, Captain Leb.
man, Master, bound to Lock Haven. The
enterprising proprietors, Messrs. Kder and
White, run two packets, one leaving Wil
liamsport at 11 A. M., after the arrival of tho
Sunbury and Frio cars, and the other at 7,
after tho arrival of the evening trail from
Snubury. Returning they leave Lock Ha
ven at 9 in the morning and at 7 in the eve
ning, arriving at Williamsport uptime for tho
morning train to Sunbury. The boat had a
full load, many of them cont ractors nnd would
be contractors at the letting. With good
music and an obliging captain, the company
had a merry time. Arriving at Lock Haven
at 6 P. M., we obtained quarters at the
Fallon House, now kept by Mr. Lebo. This
Hotel is a fino structure built of brick, plas
tered to imitate brown stone, with one wing
back, and possesses most of tho modern
conveniences. It is a structure highly cred
itable to tho enterprise and spirit of the citi
zeus of Lock Haven. Its entiro cost was
about $32,000. It was afterwards sold on
mechanic's lions for about half that sum, and
bought for C. and J. Fallon, of Philadelphia.
The house was full aud overflowing, as were
all of Hotels on the occasion.
Lock Haven is handsomely located on tho
West bank of tho river. It contains ou en
terprising population, strongly stimulated by
a Yaukeo infusion from the EaBtera States
who have located there aud entered into the
lumber business. A number of handsome
residences havo been erected that would do
no discredit to our cities. Among these is
that of Gen. Jackman, to whose tact and
skillful management, as a member or tho last
Legislature, tho frionds of tho Sunbury aud
Krie are greatly indebted. . The General's re
sidence is not made for himself exclusively A
for others to look at, but enables him to extcud
his hospitalities to bis numerous friends and
acquaintances. It was fifteen years since wo
last visited Lock Haven, and we were agree
ably surprised at its improvements. In six
or cignt months tho railroad will then be com
pleted to that place, and we will be but a few
hours distant from this place.
Wo left at 7 in the eveuintr, arrived at
Williamsport at 1 j A. Al., took tho cars at :
5, and beforo 7 were at home iu timo for !
breokfust.
About two hundred bids were received. ;
Tho allotments will bo declared at Philadel
phia, next week.
THE WAR DEBATE.
There is not ono among our readers who
will not be gratified to witness tho noble po
sition assumed by Judgle Douglas, iu refer
ence to the recent outrages that have been
committed by the British war steamers upon
our merchant vessels. TLo following is an
extract of his speech delivered in tho Senato
of tho United States on Saturday last :
Mr. Douglas (Illinois) asked what good
does it do to resolve that this search is a
belligerent act? The American people and
Congress kuow thut it is. England was in
formed forty years ago, aud has violated our
rights thirty-three times within tho past Tour
weeks. He commonded aud admired the
promptness with which tho President has
sent a forco to the Gulf, but thut force was
only np to the point of preventing. Do you
suppose thut an opportunity will ever bo
found to prevent search, unless a ship of war
bo sent to accompany every merchant vessel?
Tho Senator from New Yoik was wrong iu
saying thut the force despatched to the Gulf
would siuk tho Britiuh cruisers. The British
there have three guns to our one. It is
bruve, at least, to think that our ono will
sink their three. Mr. Dnuelus recommended
another course. Let a ship of war, say the
ii tiinitn, go i mi win iruca oi me oryx or cue
Jiuzzaril, lollow ber up, capture her, nud
bring her into ou American port, and it will
then be limit to muko explanations. It hug
land avows the cruisers' acts, it becomes an
international qnestion. If she disavows them
it only remains for us to say what puuish
ment we shull inflict on those luwless persons
who have perpetrated these outrages. Tho
President having gono us fur as ho can go,
let him have at onco such powers as are ne
cessary to protect the flag and inaintaiu the
rights of citizens at home and abroad. He
had no Tear or tho abuse or such power by
the present Executive, or uoy thut follow
him.
