From Salt Lake

SALT LAKE, April 19.

The Legislature of the State of Deseret assembled in this city on the 14th inst., in accordance with a proclamation of Gov. Young. The Governor’s message is patriotic. No Senators have been elected.


SALT LAKE, April 19.

The Indians have stolen the stock from nearly every station between Laramie and Bridger, killed several men, burned the stations and threaten the entire 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 the mails for the present.
