REMOVALS—FROM UTAH.
By Telegraph to The N. Y. Herald.
WASHINGTON, Friday, Dec 17, 1857.
Mr. Allen, the new Clerk of the House, removed to-day Wm. P. Ingraham, Joseph L. Chester, John D. Thompson, C. B. Adams, N. B. Merkle, Wm. Haslett, J. C. Greenleaf, C. P. Wallach and Rufus Prentice, Assistant Clerks employed in the office.
Mr. Douglas has ordered 20,000 copies of his speech.
The Republicans have ordered 100,000 copies.
The President has positively refused to receive Gov. Walker's letter, or permit it to be filed among the archives of the Government. Were he to do so, he says, he should soon be flooded with similar documents from every subordinate officer who might be dismissed, or should take a notion to resign. Even McKeon of New-York, he fears, might want to file a protest.
The President is collecting all the facts relative to the New-York Hotel clique. George N. Sanders's name will not be sent in to the Senate. His implication with Walker in Kansas is conclusive. His head must drop.
Acting Commissioner Mix has received a letter from Brigham Young, dated October 7, 1857. He says:
“I improve the opportunity, by first succeeding mail, via Panama, to inform you that I forwarded my report and accompanying papers for the quarter ending September 18, 1857, by the hands of the Hon. J. M. Bernhisel, our delegate to Congress, who accepted a very corteous invitation from Captain Van Vleit, U. S. A., to cross the Plains with him en route to Washington; and notwithstanding the quarter was not quite ended, I deemed that course all the more proper from the fact that the mail to this Territory from Independence, Mo., had been stopped by the Post Office Department, and it was not known how soon the mail from California might also be stopped.
"I have also the honor to inform you that Dr. Garland Hunt, a United States Indian agent in this superintendency, saw fit to leave the field of his official duty on the 26th of September last, in company with some Indians, whom it is said he hired to escort him to the United States troops, and without having made any report to me of his wishes and designs, or of the disposition he had made of the affairs of his agency. Such an occasionless and unwise movement on his part, altogether needlessly exposing himself to sickness, hardship and danger, I did all in my power, upon the earliest intimation of his plans, to prevent, as will be seen by a letter addressed to him, a copy of which inclose, but which unfortunately did not reach his place of residence until a few hours after his departure. "Trusting that my official course, as above indicated, will meet the cordial approval of your judgment, I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
"BRIGHAM YOUNG,
"Governor and ex-Supt. of Indian Affairs."
