A private letter from Governor Cumming lays much stress upon the importance of the Mormons being induced to return to their homes and 1 employmen’s. He is opposed to their going to Sonora, and confirms the statement heretofore made, that they are divided into peace and war parties; and thinks iuojje duty and policy of the Government to support the former and break down -the latter. He speaks of Brigham Young as a man of great perseverance, intellect and experience; and withal vested with authority to announce the terrors awarded those who sin against the Holy Ghost. There is, says Governor C., a division in the ranks of the Mormons, all fearing Young, while many hate him because of the pacific measures which he is charged. Governor Cumming plainly says that his chief hope of control over the Mormons is exerted through Young; and chat if anything should happen to thwart his (Cumming’s) efforts to avert the perils of a collision between the army and the Mormons, the country may reasonably expect a guerrilla war of several years’ duration, and at an expense of many millions of dollars, while the war would be visited upon those least deserving of its terrors.
