Show 'OGDEX'S GRAIN In itiewcr to the question, "Has Ogden shipped millions of bushels of wheat yearly ' to Philadelphia ?" we answer emphatically, no. We do not know of any wheat shipped 'roni this rity to tho Atlantic seaboard since 'T3. A small business was done pome years ago, and a few bushels have been sent to various Eastern dealers, but since 1873 no wheat has b?en ent East.. The statement that such a grain trade has been carried on, is preposterous on the face of it. There has been eomo jlour put upon the eastern Markets from Utah, Wtber Mills, the brand from (Peery's) we believe, bearing off the palm. Utah wheat in small quantities has been chipped to St Joseph, Kansas City, Uurltngton and St. Louis, but the dealers East would rather hare flour than wheat from this Territory, and the dealers here would rather ship it than wheat, all the time. The Eastern men don't want bran and shorts freighted to them, and the Utah salesmen iden't want to send it away, for its average value hero is thirty dollars per ton, while in the East it is only eight dol- facts in both cases will loom, up through the smoke, and the truth will lift its head above the falsehood which has been thrown around it. The forwardiBg of troops to the locality where a colony of Indians is engaged h peaceably tilling the soil, will tend to give color to the utter falsehoods circulated from Corinne and Salt Lake. But when the facts become known, a reaction will take place which will not redoucd to the credit of any of the parties engaged in the fraud. It may be true that some of the Indians gathered at Malad. ten miles from the defunct city which has started this excitement, are cultivating land away from their reservations. If this is so, there is nothing easier than to issue an order for their return. They are disposed to obey authority, and never were more docile and desirous of doisg right than now. They have a hundred acres of grain ready to harvest, as proof of their industry, and to send soldiers to their camp aud drive them away before they can reap tho fruits ef their first attempt is not only at civilized self-suppor- t, impolitic but positively cruel. The Indians at Malad have made lars; and, further, the demand for Inn rnd shorts in Utah is always no attempt against the peace of any white people, and they cannot fail to greater than the supply.

The Chicago Times of the 7th inst., has a long account of an inter view with David Whitmer, the only surviving one of the three witnesses to the Book of Mormon. The testi- mony of the three witnesses, to the effect that an angel of God came down from Heaven and stood before them and showed them the plates from which the book was translated whilo the voice of God commanded them to bear record of it, can be seen in the preface to the Book of Mormon.
