THE UNITED STATES.

The Collins steamers for the next four months,
viz., January, February, March, and April, make
brat one trip per month, the next departure from
New York being the 16th of January. December
3 completed their twenty trips for the year.
At IYashington the Secretary of the Treasury
has prepared his plan for 20,000,000 dole. Treasury
notes, and the interest which they will be made to
bear will not exceed 3 per cent. per annum. Part
of the issue, it is believed, may be employed at a
nominal interest. The whole is to be made receivable
for all public dues, and subject to re-issue, but to be
' redeemed at the end of a year in specie.
Cower resumed its sittings on the 14th, but
there was no allusion to Kansas affairs, and the busi-
ness transacted was of an ordinary character.
In accordance with the proclamation of Acting-
Governor Stanton, the special session of the new
Legislature of Kansas was organised on the nth inst.
C. W. Babcock was elected President of the Coun-
cil, and G. W. Dietzler Speaker of the House. A
message was received from the Acting-Governor,
setting forth the motives which induced the calling
together of the legislatures, and recommending the
purge of an act providing for holding an election,
under different officers, on the mine day and at the
same places, as provided for in the proclamation of
the Pmidant of the Constitutional Convention, and
authorising the people to vote for the constitution in
either of the forms presented by the convention, and
also against the constitution in both forms. Great
excitement prevails in the territory, and it is
thought that the election called for the 21st will not
be permitted to take place. No outbreak, however,
t had yet been attempted.
At the election held in Oregon, on the 9th ult., the
state constitution was adopted, but the slavery clause
was rejected. Fire negroes are to be prohibited
from emigrating to the state of Oregon.
News from Utah to the -ith October reaches us by
way of California. The attitude of the Mormons se
peculiarly hostile and threatening. Brigham Young,
in a series of discourses delivered before large audt-
ewes of the mints in Salt Lake City, had distinctly
avowed his determination to destroy provisions and
forage, and lay the territory waste, rather than per.
mit the entrance of the troops. The faint-hearted
among the Mormons are warned to leave, under
penalty of death if they attempt to thwart the ends
of the lenders. Brigham's programme appears to be
indorsed to the fullest extent by Heber Kimball,
John Taylor, and others among the prominent men
in Utah. There is nothing further from the govern.
meet expedition.
It is now understood in Washington that the ob-
ject of Sir William Gore Ouseley's mission will not
I -be officially communicated to government until the
opinion of her Majesty's government regarding that
portion of the Preadent's message relative to Central
♦merican affairs can be ascertained.
