From the Plains.

We were highly pleased to take by the
hand, a day or two since, our young friend
Franklin B. Gilbert, also, John NJ Guth'
rie and B. F. Bishop, all of this city and
county. They left here last spring for Salt
Lake City with goods; were the first in the
valley, reaching there the Sd day Of July
From our young friend Gilbert, we gath
er the following items of interest:
The health of the people Of Salt Lake
City has been good the past season. They
were very friendly and kind to all emigrants
and traders. A great many Mormons were
expected to reach there this season.
The crops in the valley looked fine and
will yield large supply. The whole coun-
try is in thriving and prosperous condi-
ton.
All is quiet the Indians have ceased to
molest the settlers in the valley.
The party left the City on the 18th day
Of July, and reached here on the 26th inst,
making fifty-nine days coming in.
They met Branham & Norris train go
miles this side of Salt Lake City, getting
along fine. Also =. Barbee's train accom-.
panying them; all well. Met Charles A.
Perry, Of this city, on the 26th of July,
with the mail, 200 miles this side Of Salt
Lake. Met the Government train and
troops with about six or seven hundred
horses and Mules at Willow Springs, about
$50 miles beyond Fort Laramie stock in
good condition. John F. Baker, Of the firm
Of Tut & Baker, of this city, was with
them in good health. Met Middleton &
Riley's train from St. Joseph, 20 miles this
side Of Laramie, stock in good condition,
and all getting on well. Met q good ma
ny Mormons with freight trains, getting on
slowly; some even this side of Fort Kear-
ny. These latter must be very late in get
ting in-will, without doubt, get caught in
the snow in the mountains. The grass is
fine whole distance. Stock cannot suffer
for want Of it. The Indians were friendly
on the route, and probably would continue
TO be, II the emigrants would treat them
well and not sell them any whisky.
The Salt Lake market will doubtless be
overstocked with goods when all the trains
get in. Met the August mail for Salt Lake
at the crossing Of the South Platte, get.
ting on fine. Messrs. Abel Gilbert & Hen
ry bayge, Will probably arrive here about
the FIRST Of October.
Report says that the Mormons had
caught Captain Bridger, Of Bridger's Fort,
and had him at Fort Laramie, and were
intending to take him to Salt Lake City.
Our readers will remember the Mormons
had accused him Of furnishing the Utah
Indians with guns and ammunition last
year at the time they made an attack upon
the Mormon settlers ilfthe valley. Wheth-
er they will succeed in getting him into the
city remains to be seen. They had been in
pursuit Of him in the mountains with blood
hounds for long time before he was taken.
Since penning the above we have met
our friend A. G. Boyd, Esq, who went out
with John F. Baker; he only went to Fl.
Laramie. All are looking we'll.
We also had the pleasure of meeting our
old friend and fellow townsman, Jeremiah
Woods, Esq, and John Woods, his son,
who went out with the above company and
returnnd day or two since All are in
fine health. They corroborate the above
statements Weston Reporter.

wENpAL1 PHILLIPS LECTURE.

Those who were so fortunate last eve
Mug as to hear the learned and beauti-
full lecturer upon the Lost Arts de-
liyered by Wendall Phillips, as the
opening lecture of the course Of the
young Mems Association, viii not soon
forget the occasion. We missed, much
to our regret, the commencement of the
lecture, which seemed to have been sim
ply of an introductory character. After
laying down some general, and we think
correct, principles for determining the
eredibility of statements made by any
author, the lecture proceeded to group
what further discourses he gave US
around the three following arts, viz -
The manufacture of Glass, the manufac-
ture of Metals, and Colors.a OF the
first, he claimed for the ancients supe-
rior knowledge to what we at present pos
sess. He instanced their beautiful imi-
tation of gems, with this material-
their delicate and minute mosaics, and,
more wonderful still, their knowledge of
the properties of lenses, and the eonstruc-
ton of the Microscope and Telescope
In this connexion he gave many illus
tratiye examples of great interest. He
also spoke of the art OF making glass
malieable, which they possessed, but
which is lost to u.s. we are sorry that
our space limits us to so meagre a notice
of this portion of his lecture, which
abounds with lesrning and interest.
He spoke further ofthe great prof
cheney the ancients arrived at IN temper
ing metals, and instanced the implements
with which they hewed out, and covered
with hieroglyphies, the opeisks which
exists in Italy at the present time, and
which the best modern instruments can
scarcely carve few letters upon. He
instaneed also the Damascus Blade, with
its edge of wonderful keenness. This
portion of his lecture also abounded with
plentiful and most interesting illustra-
tions, which we are compelled toomit.
In the mixing ofcolors, which combin-
ed the quality Of brilliancy and perman-
ency, claims for antiquity an indisputa-

hle pre-eminercy This he manifested
by referring to the colors which are to-
day bright in Egyptian fabrics of the
time of the Pharaons, and by referring
to the painted galleries of fanci Mt Greece
and the buried Herculaneum, and by TIE
now modern works also of Rattle and
contemporaries.
The lecture thinks that the present
age was greatly superior to the ages of
past in the difference of the arts. That
where, in old times. the priests and Jug
glers kept within their own bosoms the
seer cts. of the arts, and when they died
the arts died with them-to-day the arts
are the property of the whole people, and
IN this shows large acknoRIedg cement Of
the brotherhood Of many. The lecture
was throughout most eloquently deIiver-
ed, and the facts which it presented were
embodied in the most GttractiEe
phrase, Detroit Democrat.

Us s. Consul Hopkins Troubles Win
Paraguay.
We have heretofore stated that Mr..
Hopkins, y. S. consul, had got into a diff
ficPlty With Paraguay. A Buenoss Ayres
correspondent of the n. Y. Post says j.
|, 1t appears that Mr.. Clement Hopkins
the cohsnEs brother, accompanied by q
lady, his relative and wife OF the French
agent in Paraguay, being out riding met
some cattle driven by soldier. As they
approached, the soldier made signs 70 them
to go aside, in order that the animals
might pass instead of which they rode
among them. causing. them to straggle,
whereupon the soldier drew his sword and
with the fiat of it strick Mr.. Hopkins a
hard blow across the back. The consul
Immediately addressed note to the 60
vernment demanding satisfaction, obser-
wing that thesoutEage was only the most
gross ofsa long series ofeinsults directed
agains. American citizens for some
months past.s The result was that Silve-
no, the SOLDIER was Condemned to receive
!, 800 lashes, but the encouragement of tbia
decision to the consul was accompanied
by so much insult;aud contumely as to Rg
gravate the offence.
Not content with abusing him aud his
brother, they have vented their spleen on
foreigners .in general in some ridiculous
DEGREES. For instance, foreigners are
fprohibired from holding meetings except
such as are for some avowed object of in
nocent amusement. No foreign officer
can wear his sword unless he present him
i. scIftpIeviously to the minister The sale
of land to foreigners is prohibited. After
nine at night all business must cease If
the streets, and any one leaving theil
house after that hour must carry Ian
tern. The correspondent further add
! that re government has suspended al
ottlGiat communication with Mr.. Hopkins
and through a militaryoficer given by hin
: notice TO quit the barrack of San Antonio
where he has his segar manufactory.
Mr.. Hopkins has replied to the effect
