From Salt Lake City

SALT LAKE CITY, April 19. – The Legislature of the State of Deseret assembled in this city on the 14th, in accordance of the proclamation of Governor Young. The Governor’s Message is patriotic. Two Senators have been elected.

SALT LAKE CITY, April 22. – The Indians have stolen the stock from nearly every station between Laramie and Bridger, killed several men, burned a station and threaten the destruction of the Overland Mail Company’s property. The Company, in consequence, are concentrating their employees and property at a few stations for protection and have abandoned all attempts to carry mail for the present.
