"Capt. Ford, with forty-seven of his 

 camp in pursuit of the Indians, who had carried off 

 four hundred horses. He was joined by two hund- 

 red friendly Indiana, and afterwards by Major Van 

 Dunn, with two hundred and eighty regulars. Af- 

 ter the uDtled forces had posted the headwaters of 

 Red river, Major Van Dofin, not deeming it prudeut 

 to press the pursuit further without additional 

 supplies for men and horses, turned hack. Capt, 

 Fonn and men, with the friendly Indians, continued 

 ays traveling in the dii ection of Kansas, fic- 

 i midnight and daybreak of the second night, 

 the Indians left the camp of Capt F. About day- 

 light Capt. F. found himself surrounded by eight 

 hundred warriors, who demanded his surrender. — 

 lie refused, and ordered his men to prepare for 

 fight, each being armed with two revolvers and a 

 rifle. They fought bravely nnd desperately, but 

 were overpowered by numbers, and oil butcberd 

 except Capt. Fonn and four of his men, who cut 

 their way through aud escaped." 



During the night of Friday, the 22d inst., we 

 were visited by a north-easter with tbe unusual ac-

 morning we were blessed with nearly six 

 M of snow. The storm extended to Syracuse

Important News from Utah. 



Tns Doseret Valley Tan of thc 15tb of March, 



A rumor of a collision between troops stationed 

 at Provo and Mormon citizens, prevailed at Salt 

 Lake City. The troops were stationed there by 

 order idjiidgi'fniddbuiigh during the session of his 

 Court. It was supposed that tbe Court would ad- 

 journ the 15th, and thut nothing would be done 

 except to try two Indians, the Church hiernrcln 

 that conlrols this people over-reaching the juris- 

 diction of the United Stales Court'. Judge Cra- 

 delbaugh thus explains this matter in bis charge to 

 the Grand Jury; 



"Some United Stales troops are here. Perhaps 

 it is an unusual thing. I knew that there were 

 those who were guilty, out of the camp, and also 

 that there were many guilty around hero of nutue- 

 o (fences. I was informed that there was no 

 n here, and those troops were sent by the 

 commanding General, ot my request, to take care 

 of thc prisoners now in custody, and not to inter 

 ■, They are here to take care of 

 and preserve the peace. If prisoners are brought 

 i care of, and the whole authority 

 of the troops is to detain those persons in custody 

 ey arc called for by the Court, nnd they 

 power beyoud that Court." The Judge, in 

 his charge to the Grand Jury, refers to tbe fact that 

 attempts had been made to destroy the Court and 

 its usefulness, and even to bring the juro 

 disrepute. He refers to many cases of mnn 

 itted throughout the district,

 ed or $100,000 worth of properly by Gen. Zamara.
