Lar NRMx1xon rns PLA,sa--We- copy the
following from the st. Louis Republican Of the
26th ult.
From the officen Of the steamer Dutuc. which
Aoas arrived at our port yesterday noon from the
Missouri, We have the following interesting items
Il views from Plains:
On che 23d ult., party Of sixteen teams Of
Oregon emiRrants arrived At Kansssvillc, having,
from tho time or starting to tho time Of their
rival, rus by the depradations Of tho Indians, 6fty-
lve heSd Of cattle. This heavy theft was com.
vnitted 1t Beaver Creek, one hundred miles from
the Missouri river Two or three days previous
to this loss, which occurred in tho early part Of
June, they were visited by . body Of some two
hundred Indians, at short distance from whom
between FIVE aud six hundred others were seen.
They demanded Of the emigrxnts two bead Of
cattle from each wagon, for the right Of way
through their country. threatening violently that
il they did not comply with their demand, they
woald murder their whole party The Indians, il
10 said, were Of the Pawnce and Omaha tribes.
The emigrapts, in order TO save themselves, re-
sorted TO persuasion. and finally succeeded, by
letting them have two cows aud two sacks of corn.
On the l5l6 Of June their cattietook stampede.
. which was supposed to have been caused by the
Indians. They were confirmed in this supposition
on tho morning following from visit they recev.
ed by several hundred Indians, who offered their
services to bring in tho missing cattle, condition
that they were literally paid. The emigrants
agreed 10 this offer, and in day or two few of
tho poorest were returned. These suficed merely
70 ansh3S kheR to reach the river. Their children
and themselves wese much ill.used by the Indians.
The majority Of the party. ii is said. had been
formerly frola Shsrke county, Illinois. The In
dams informed them that il was their intention TO
head the Mormoa train and extort pay for passing
through their country. They added that refusal
to comply with this request would be followed with
the most rigorous example on themselves and
property.
The advance company Of the Mormon train has
not been heard from. 1t is supposed, however,
that they will reach the Sioux country before they
can be Overtakea by the Indians.
The last company of Mormon emigrants was
heard from at LouP Fork, which they were to
cross on Tuesday week last. They said to be
prosecuting their journey prosperously. But one
train remains yet to 60 out this season. 1t is that

MAGNIFICENT IDEA.--The San Frar.
cisco Coufier, in speaking Of the necessi-
ty and feasibility of a steamship commu.
nication between that point and China,
remarks that such line would complete
the chain of steam communication around
the world, except small break in cross
ing the Isthmus of Suez, connecting
Asia with Africa. The paper then says:
This link completed. the traveller. leav-
ing New York, can proceed to Chagres
by steam, from thence to San Francisco.
to Macao via the Sandwich Islands, G ia.
am and Manilla--thence to SueK, via
Singapore, Penang Ceylon. and Adm
thence to Cairo and Alexandra, to South.
ampton via Malta and Gibraltar, and
from thence by steam again to New
York. The only break in steam naviga.
tion will be in crossing the Isthmus of
Suez. Thus he would be able to circum-
navigate the world visiting many points
of interest, making the trip in 140 days!
The commercial advantages which must
flow to the United States from this and
kindred sources are too great for enumer-
alton here, and too well known to re-
quire it.

forcing the laws of the Union2 For himself, Mr.. Boil
ing said, he would sustain the administration In en-
forcing the laws oil the Union. He would not permit
South Carolina to secedc and set up separate govern
ment Ii she undertook to do So and we grant her all
she asks, the clear right TO secede-he day she does
secede she becomes an alien nation-a foreign State.
Then we must decide. whether we will tolerate for
eign power in our very midst. We cannot do it. Mr.
Calhoun considered the Acquisition OF Texas necessary
to u.s. TO prevent its falling into the hands, under the
influence Of England-how much more necessary them
to our atety would it be to prevent South Carolina
from becoming subject to England and English infu
eIces
Mr.. Boiling enquired if Virginia and all the other
Slaveholding States-though. willing to abide the
promise themselves-woud permit South Carolina to
drag them alter her in destroying this Union! He
qured il Virginia, who had dnoe to establish this
Unou-had made larger sacrifices to it than any ether
State-would consent, with her population Of a mil
whites in South Carolina-all told, men woman and
children! Will these $4,000 men women and child
OF South Carolina, upon fancul doctrine Of
secession be allowed to destroy this mighty Republic
with its twenty three millions of inhabitants? Mr..
Boiling said the Constitution OF the United States was
made by the people OF Virginia, the Sup eme Consiitu
ton ofVirgna; and so It had been m aJe the supreme
Constitution OF each Stale, and by it the people Of
eacn State created supreme government, which with
in its sphere overdes each State Constitution and laws,
as do the laws passed in pursuance OF H. and the les
made under its authority and every officer in Virginia,
civil and military, is required to TO support that
Constitution. 1t makes provision tor State to Sc

A VIEW OF THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

Ertract Of a private letter from, a gentleman in
Eastern Virginia, aoho is a a0ar'n supporter of
the mired basis, an aduocate of Internal i'm
prouements, and a be!ierer in the acisdom of pop
ALARMING the government.
"Wel, upon the whole, am pleased with the new
Constitution, and shall give my vote for it. IT'S true
the basis OF repres ntaton is great practical injustice
the East, but after the eachery OF so many Eastern
members hardly expected as good terms as we have
got. 1t appears to nat slave property is amply se
cured against undue taxation, and also that the maio
rty vote required will protect from the reckless ap-
preparations so much complained Of of late years.
When we consider the materials Of which commune
ties are composed universal suffrage is, at first,
startling proposition; but is certainly right that Co
vernmen should lay lis foundations broad and deep in
the affections OF the people, and looking to the ends
to be attained, ii is difficult say who shall and who
shall not vote l hold that it as much the duty of
Government to educate and improve the condition of
the poor as it s to protect protect property Ifhis be
SO, then the poor as well the rich ought to have
controlling influence upon Government Upon the
WHOLE look tor favourable change in The condition
OF things in Virginia under the operation Of the new
Constitution
