NEss.-On the 10Th ult. the steamer st. Ange
arrived at st. Louis, in ten days from Fort Union
at the mouth of the Yellow Stone river, making
the quickest trip on record. These trips appear
to be getting more frequent, in consequence OF
the profits accruing from the fur trade. The
st. Ange brought down about 800 packs of Buff
falo robes, besides other skins and furs, and a
number of curious animals from the region about
Fort Union.
There were very few persons at Fort Union

THE COMPROMISE BILL.-From all the indi-
cation derived from Washington, this famous
measure has shared merited fate, and is ere
this consigned to the tomb of the Capulets. 1t
has been one of the veriest humbugs of the day.
While its friends professed to herald it forth as
the harbinger of peace and tranquility, it con-
tanned within itself the very elements of discord
and seeds of disunion The most extraordinary
efforts were used to gid the nauseous pill and
make it palatable to the public taste But they
were mere quack nostrums and fortunately un-
successful The South asked for bread, and our
politicians We're disposed to give them stone
for fish, and they offered them serpent. The
scheme is now dead, dead as a mackerel and
there is no power to galvanize it into life and
being. The probability is that the bill to admit
California into the Union will likewise fail. We
hope the true friends to the South will resist it
at every hazard and to the last extremity.n All
that is required, is that our own people should
be united, and they can dictate their own terms
to sordid and reckless majority. -SomIern

WESTERN ENTERPRIsE.-A line of mail stages
has been organized, to ply between Independence

lst of July. Two stages leave Independence
on the first of every month. The Independence
Commonwealth thus describes their equipment:
The stages are each acpable of conveying eight
passengers. The bodies are beautifully painted,
and made water-tight, with view of using them
as boats in ferrying streams The team consists of
six mules to each coach. The mail is guarded
by eight men, armed as follows Each man has
at his side, strapped up in the stage, one of Colts
revolving rifles in holster, below one of Colts
long revolving pistols, and in his belt small
Colt revolver, besides a hunting knife--so that
