THE NEW TROUBLES IN UTAH.-In another part of this paper can be found extracts from a letter of our Utah correspondent, giving some particulars of the late troubles at Provo, Utah, together with affidavits in regard to the hostile position of the Mormon population of that vicinity. According to a letter published in the Missouri Republican, Judge Cradleburgh, United States Justice for the Third District of Utah, convened his Court at Provo, and knowing there were no jails and no provisions made for prisoners, and having in Custody several criminals for trial, he made a requisition for troops as a guard to go with him to Provo. The correspondent, in continuation, says:
"Besides this, the Judge was determined to make the attempt, at least, to bring up for trial before him some of the murderers of the Parish family, as well as those engaged in the wholesale massacre of the Arkansas emigrants at the Mountain Meadows, which involved some of the superior church officers. Accordingly, a company of the 10th Infantry was detailed and detached on the service. The Court met, the grand jury was charged by the Judge, and some arrests were made by the Marshal, including the Bishop or Mayor of Provo. Preparations for a rescue were made amongst the citizens, and a messenger was despatched by them, both to Brigham Young and Governor Cumming, to come down. Meantime, the officer in command of the company reported the state of affairs, and even threats made by the populace, and immediately the General despatched eight companies with a few dragoons, and a section of the Light Battery, to take post at or near Battle Creek, about 12 miles this side of Provo, to be in readiness to act according to circumstances, in protecting the Court, and Eecuring the prisoners in the event of an attempt at escue."
Upon this Governor Cumming issued a proclamation, in which he protests against the presence of the troops at Provo, as tending to terrify the inhabitants, disturb the peace of the Territory, and subvert the ends of justice by causing the intimidation of witnesses and jurors. He also declares that the present military movement is in defiance of the spirit and letter of his instructions. In a letter to General Johnston, he requests him to remove the troops, to which he makes a lengthy reply, from which we give the following extract:
"To prevent any misunderstanding hereafter, I desire to say to your Excellency that I am under no ob-ligations whatever to conform to your suggestions with regard to the military disposition of the troops of this department, except only when it may be expedient to employ them in their civil capacity as a posse, in which case, should the emergency arise, your re-quisition for any portion of the toops under my command will be complied with, and they will be instructed to discharge the duty pointed out "
And thus the matter rests at present.
