Forr Briveeg, Uran TéR.,) We were very much surprised and gratified this afternoon’by the arrival in our midst of Abel -}Gil-bc\ft@‘“ f the cstablished firm of Gilbert & Gerrish late merchants in Salt Lake City, .f‘yom California, by way of Salt Lake City. " ‘Doring a short interview which we have had with him, we' have obtained ths following particulars:—He left San- Pransiseo, California, on the 19th of - March, and arrived at Salt Lake City on the cvening of the 2d day of April. In his passage through the ll\lormon’ scttlements he was g&n;fly reccived and entertained. Thele -were all preparing to leave the valley. l()n his way up to the city, ke foundthe, road lined with families moving }Som}‘h,gmb‘pg whoni, near Provo eity e met Bricham Young and leber (. Ifl{imbafl with their familics. Brigham ‘himself, however, gubsequently returned to the City, arriving there {he cvenAfollowing Mr: G’s arrival. Yle also passed a large number of \\"agi§x ‘going ip from the southern settlements to assist the brethren residing in the northorh settlement toinove. '
. The current report was that they were all to move to the ‘White Mountains in the southwestern patt of the Teraitory or the western side of the Gircat Desert. ' The women and children. were to move immediately whilst all the fighting men were to remain as a rear guard. The familics were start: ing at the.rate of two or three hundred wagons a'day. = Lt The miass of the people, however, are not favoralde to this movement, although they are preparing to participate in it, and are carnestly wishing that the arniy may enter the valley before they start. They are beginning to open their eyes somewhat to the deception which Iras been practiced upon them, finding that instead of the Liord fighting for them, as Brigham preached last fall, and destroying their cncmies Ly cold and starvation, and the Indians becoming a battlezax.in their bands to overcome all adversaries; they - now see that our army has passed tli¢ winter more comfortably i.tE:z'n they 'have, that the Indians are nearly all against them,‘and they have ‘the fact staring them in the, face that they are to be surrounded on every side and forced to sarrender. e Hoaooe
And yet, so-closely. are they ybound tegcther, so complete are fheir habits of implicit ,obedience and subjection to their leaders that they dare not take the least step, or make the least effort towards throwing off, themselves, the yoke of oppression which goads them. They simply rest content in the hope and desire that the United States army, will yet arrive in time to relieve them. ~ They ‘have not planted Zany crops ot importance this® Spring, and haye not as is ususl at this scason commenced making ‘and planting their gardens, hut instead, are packingup and boxing up the provisions which they have.en hand and which they cstimate to be more than one year's supply in wheat'& flour.

~On his way up, Mr. Gilbert passed and visited the scené of -the massacre of the California emigrants last Fall.— He says the ground 1s strewn with human gculis and bones of alk sizes, whilst the place was covered, in every direetion with locks.and tresses of women’s hair, = The. sight of these relics of the most inhuman and barbarous massacre that can be found on the pages of our eountry’s history, was truly sickening, causing a cold shudder to pass through the whole frame; and yet, on sucha spot the/Mormon: guide jocularly remarked thas this would bean “cxcellent place far a dentist’s shop.” i Mr. Gilbert was much surprised tefind on his arriyal in the city that they were making preparations there for'the expected arrival of Governor Cumining. ‘“A-room had beem prepared expressly and was in readiness for him.” (The Governcr did not start from here until the Gth inst.)
