Grand River Times

Mormons.--Several large trains of Mormons from Salt Lake had reached the Valley: one train on Saturday, with about six hundred head of remarkably fine loose cattle. In fact, they are all well supplied with stock. They have with them their families, and express themselves exceedingly dissatisfied with the state of things existing at Deseret. Many of them experienced great difficulty in getting away, being harassed by vexations and unfounded suits, and their cattle seized. Hundreds have in this way been prevented from leaving who otherwise would. Brigham Young has left Salt Lake with a hundred men, in search of a new settlement for the Mormons. Such is his avowed object, but his real aim is to be out of the way when the new Governor comes. All of them speak in the hardest terms of him. He is said to have taken with him some two or three hundred thousand dollars. Those in Carson Valley had renounced their religion, and determined to settle permanently in California. Hundreds will do likewise as soon as they can leave.
