UTAH. 



The returns from tliis Territory are not as full as usual — tlie Indian depre- 

 dations having, we suppose, rendered the mail more irrcj2;ular. But they pre- 

 sent the ag-riculture of Utah in the same favorable aspect as heretofore presented 

 in these reports. The wheat crop has largely increased ; so has the hay crop — 

 keeping pace with the increase of cattle. Hogs, in some of the counties, have 

 decreased. Sorghum, flax, tobacco, &:c., are cultivated to a considerable extent, 

 showing that Utah means to depend on its own agricultural resources. Not a 

 single crop referred to in^the circulars but seems to be cultivated. 



COLORADO. 



Our correspondent at Denver writes, that on the 2d of October there were a 

 few snow-flakes on the plains, a heavy storm in the mountains, and that in the 

 night of that day they had the first killing frost. Fall pastures there, as here, 

 are unusually good ; but peas and beans were injured by floods, and hay, fod- 

 der, turnips, and, in places, wheat, had been injured by the grasshoppers. 

 " They were so numerous," remarks the correspondent, " in Gilpin county, as 

 to eat everything green. The prospects for a large crop of roots and grass 

 were uncommonly tine, but the grasshoppers came in such immense numbers 

 tliat they appeared like snow-flakes in a heavy storm." But our returns from 

 Colorado are yet top limited to give a general statement of its agricultural con- 

 dition.
