Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Sunday, July 8. During the difficulties with the Mormons, which came near leading to a serious collision with the American troops, a plan proposed by Capt. WALTER M. GIBSON for the immediate emigration of the Mormons to Oceanica was adopted by BRIGHAM YOUNG, and forwarded to Dr. BERNHEISEL to be laid before the President for his approval, with a request for some proposition on the part of the Government to purchase their improvements in Utah. The President refused to notice the matter further than to remark that BRIGHAM YOUNG could do as he pleased, as the only duty of the Executive was to see the laws properly executed and enforced. Mr. GIBSON has since identified himself with the Mormon fraternity, and made their interests his own.
