Bays in confirmation of previous accounts : Highly important intelligence has just been received at Fort Leavenworth, by express from Fort L.innnic, with advices of “October 22d, Lieut. Col. Cooke’s command of 2d dragoons were four-miles this side, and had 1 encountered a snow storm five days previous-! ly. Col. Albert B. Johnston was last heard j from two hundred and thirty .milos jbeyond 1 Fort Laramie, and snow, was seven inches deep one hundred miloh this side of where the express left him. Owing to the slim sup ply of corn, and entire absence of grass, the j teams of the entire command and the horses j of the 2d Dragoons were failing rapidly. j News had reached Laramie that the Mor j mons had burnt three government trains (sev enty-five wagons) near Green river, ninety miles behind Col. Alexander’s command, (.10tli infantry) which constituted the van guard of the army. 11 was ruino'ed that the lOt If and sth Infantry and the 13 tterie.s of Aitillery would go over and fake possession of a Mormon village 011 Bear river tor winter quarters, ft rs sard that the Dragnolis Intd-j ----* ninntlPg awpply .of corn.* at Jialt.ailowj*U ntiil not a particle of grass. AN ith snow oh I the ground at that, it seems like madnCss for them to proceed beyond Laramie—certainly such a step could only be justified in view of the prospect of actual liosfiTffies This winter, of which no one at this distance can judge. There was p’robably never before aay por tion of our army subjected to such privations and to whom the future presents such a gloomy picture as is the case at present with the “Army for Utah.'’ And it can be said without disparagement to others,* that no por tion of our army could hayfc been better se lected to battle with the hardships of a 00111- paign,which more thanPaTl'others proves tin* spldier, than the “ Army for Lfa/'t.” ihe commander, Col. Albert $. Johnston, of the 2d Cavalry, stands among the (list in ability in the army, with the indefatigable Major.] Fitgjohu l’ofter at his elbow, t uder bis j command,/Ond emulating him in the patiiuticj zeal of warriors, nrer tho respective cowman * ders of the lOflt Infantry.

Waite, 1 while tlie trying duty—the almost hopeless I - task of conducting I Ire “rear guard” (the, six j companies of 2d Dragonnsj through, a snowy j path to its distant goal, rests with Lieut. Col.! Coolcfe. No one familiar with the operations j of our army for the last twenty years, will .fear that any of these officers will prove rec reant to the important trusts, confided to! them. We may rest assured tlrat, if upon j Col. Johnston’s arrival on the verge of Bah i , Lake Valley, circumstances urge the propri j ety of ■•immediate action, offensively, towards i the Mormons, it. •-,// hr done with a bold and decisive hand. Certainly no act is Letter calculated to hasten the inevitable, doom _t>f Mormonisin,'than this attempt, 0:1 their part, ] to destroy the aitny supplies.. Nothing should j shield them from the just retribution of an 1 outraged government. We doubt if Col. Johnston will ‘her able, when his whole force is concentrated, to intis-; ..ter over one thousand men for* duty.

The City Councils ot Washington, I), (’., have passed the foil awing, important ordi nance : Be it enacted, &Cr,-fhat it shall not hereaf ter be lawful for aiiy person or.-pyrsons to carry or have about their persons any deadly or dangerous weapons, such as dagger-,- prs tol, bovvieknife, dirk-knife or dirk, colt, slung shot or brass or other iuctal knuckles, within the city bf Washington ; and any .person- 1 r persons who shall bos duly,* convicted of so ‘carryitig*or liaving-oa-their --pcrtKma atty-mfoii weapon shall forfeit or pay upon such coivvic-, tion not less than twenty dollars nor more than fifty dollars ; which fines shall be pros ecuted and recovered in the same manner ns other penalties and forfeitures accruing to the city are sued for and recovered ; provid ed that the police officers,., the members of the auxiliary'guard and the military, when on duty, shall he exempt from such penalties and forfeitures. ~ The National Intelligencer truly remarks : No good man, old or young, but will re joice at this enactment, which at piicfe strikes away one of those rank features of savage life with which society has of late„been mark ed. Nine-tentlis of o.ur young men for a year or two past have gone about our city— metropolis as, it is of the world’s great’ Chris tian Republic—armed with knife and revol ver, as if they were traversing the country of. the ruthless Camariche or Sneaking Ana cite. llovy inconsistent this is With our na tional reputation and standing before the world, need only *bc stated to be understood. DON’T WANT WORK. It seems if bo abundantly nppnient now, that the’noisy demagogues, who are playing “hungry,” and “nothing to do,*’ in the Barks’ and Squares of theMhtjt have some other purpose, in view, than that which it suits their plan's and purposes I —and* the plans and purposes of their promptors behind the 6cenes.— to profess. They do not want em ployment, that is certain. It has been ofio.r ed them at $1 a $1 20 per day,—but they *will not take it. The Chief- Engineer of the Central Park on Wtdnesdsy, ojfered to I place “111/9 Committee ” at work at once, i guaranteeing trhem a dollar a day, — Hut the. proposal was rejected, 1 We quote the re port : f J “CofheJ along—como along 1” said. 50*.Vie-; 1e.i...“a mail eertainly owes a duty to his fam-i By before any one else. If you are in- need 1 of work we will give it you ; there will be at least three men relieved. Just as fast as we ican we will put others to work ; and as fur as that is concerned it will make no differenep vvhether you are at work orinakiog speechb? | for the men will be put to work as fast in the j one case as if) the other.” 1 The .committee, however could not be con vinced. It is said that Smith offered to go Ito work if they would put him in boss of n gang, and bay him $1.90A day. Now, them as it is here proven, from their own lips, that these noisy follows don't want j work, “unless tin y epu -behosas,” —the qties- j tion is, what do they want ? Do they wrntto j frighten the rich” by threatening to let armed rnen loose upon them ! Do they want to get breakfasts and dinners from the hotels without j paying for them. 1 Do they want to remove | the Bub-Treasury, deposits ?

The Alta Onliforoia (Extra)- of October 1 11th contains the following account of tnassa- j ere of tior entire train of Emigrants, consist- i -ingof more than one liundrqd persons, by j the-Indian's on the great Plains. Mr. J. NV.’ Ohiistain furnishes the follow- I ing particulars in a letter dated Ban .Berna \ dono, Oct, 4th, 1857.’ He says : “ 1 take tins opportunity of informing you of the murder of an entire train of emigrants Jon their.way from Missouri and Arkanras to this state, via the Great Bah Lake City ; j which took place according tq.the beat iutor mation 1 can possibly acquire,(which .is, pri- inniily, through InTnuis) at that Mountain ! Mqfeievvs, which are at or near , the Rim of the Great- Ihisiig and some distance south of; the most southern Mormon settlements, be-J j tween the 10th and 12th ultimo. It is abso- j ! lutcly or.e of the most horrible massacre 1 : j have ever had the painfulnecessity of relat- . ■wg-’ r I “ The company ennsLstqd of a’ooqt one i hundred anA.thifty or a hundred and thirty- I | five men, women hud children, and” including j I soirtc; forty or forty-five capable of hcai'ing • i arms. They- were in possession of quite ; !'aii amount of stock, ‘ consisting of hordes ! mules at;d oxen. The .encampment was at- 1 tacked about daylight in the morning, xav th • India.ns, by tho - combined forces of at I the.varhm.s tribes immv.'diatly in that sectib'ii ;of “the country. It a,ppe;afis’ that the majori ; ty. of them were sia'ifo at ‘the first cns t made jly th'o liid'ians." '’ - r T-j | remaining forces formed themselves ; i into the best position their circumstances’. v-tvould’ allow-,- bil't before they eould make j the ins :••*.,.•>,ary arrangements for protecting j • themselves from the nrroS’s, there were but ! I few left who wore able to hear arms. After i having eonaleihtheir wagons and dug a ditch j i for thpir protection, they continued to fire. I upon the Inuians for oiie or two days, but jibe Indians had. so secreted themselves, that according to their own statement, there -was, I not one of them killed, am] but few wounded, \ I They (the emigrants) then sent, out a flag iof triiee, borne by a little girl, and gave j themselves up to the lnercy. of the savages, i who immediately rnshnd in and slaughtered | j all of them, with the exception of fifteen in-’ j I fant children,, that have since, been purchased i j with much difficulty by the Mormon iuter , prefers.” j Mr. Christian learned from some of the -Me.rnvon adders tlrat ■ the followi+ig was the j cause of the massacre ; “Tlie trail) camped at Corn jDreek, near ! Fillmore City where there is an Indian > village. They,had an ox with them which I j had died, and they put xtrvcliinine in. him, i for the purpose of poisoning the Indians; al- i -so put poisomof some discription in the ’wn ter, w'lucji is staudtng includes.
