The consumers Of sugar will read with
interest the following remarks upon this dear
commodity, which we take from Hunt,
Merchants Magazine FOR July. 1t says:
We have at several times noticed the
cause of the high prices of sugar, and re-
ferrel to the immense specula,ions in this
article going on under the control chiefly OF
wealthy Spanish houses engaged in the West
Indian trade. By far too large u portion Of
the Cuban crop has been diverted TO the
United States TO make the question Of prices
easy Of solution. The present stock in y W
York is nearly seyeaty thousand tOns-al-
most three-fourths as much as is held in all
the principle markets Of Europe The Louis
lana crop last year. it VIII remembered,
fell oil TO seycnty-three thousand nine hun
bred and seventy-six hogsheads. If the
growing crop gave no larger promise, the
price Of Cuban sugar, high as it is, would
probably be sustained through the year
but the Louisiana yield is now set dow: at
between three and four hundred thousand
hogsheads, and if this quantity is realized it
vii. be out Of the power Of the spectators
to control prices beyond the date when the
new crop viii begin to arrive
The question of price is then narrowed
down to this will buyers take the stock Of
Cuban, now in this country and to arrive, at
the rates now current, between this date and
the 1st December: Holders take the affirm
alive, and, as far as f. cures 90, make out a
fair case, showing a greater consumption for
the corresponding period Of last year. There
is q difference, however, Of forty per cent.
/ IN price, and buyers ask significantly if this
great advance will not seriously diminish the
consumption. Applied to many luxuries
the answer would be easy but sugar has
become necessity, and experience has
shown that VIII q taste is once acquired
for ii, it is not readily relnquished. The
experiment is now to be tried. We shall
not predict the issue, but when it is matter
Of history shall chronicle the result.

Important from Utah.

Capt. Van Welt, Assistant Quarter Mas
ter us Army, arrived in this city last
evening, direct from the Territory of Utah,
having left Great Salt Lake City on the l4th
ult.
We understand that the Mormons are de-
termined not to allow the United States troops
to enter Salt Lake valley, and will use force
to prevent them, if necessary. They look
upon the present movement of the Govern
ment as only the renewal of the prosecutions
which they complain of having endured in
this State and Illinois, and are determined
to resist it at the outset. Capt. Van Welt
met the troops the 22d of September on the
Sweet Water, some two hundred and thirty
miles beyond Fort Laramie. They were all
well, and in good spirits. Some of the sup
ply trains were at Harris Fork, one hundred
and forty three miles this side of the valley,
while others were far behind, and it is very
doubtful if they can enter the Salt Lake val
ley this season.
Col johnson, with his escort, was met on
the lst of October, ninety miles this side of
Fort Laramie, and determined to enter the
valley of Salt Lake this fall. Gov. Cum
ming and Secretary Hartnett were met on
the 9th of this month ninety miles beyond
Fort Kearney, all well. a heavy snow fell
at Fort Bridger on the 15th of September.
We hear that Capt. Van Welt passed a
week IN Great Salt Lake City. He was
treated with much consideration, and invited
to parlake of the hospitalities of the leading
men of the city. But on all occasions, and
from every quarter, he heard only one ex-
preston, and that was, that they never
would permit United States troops, or the
officers appointed by the United States Gov
ernnlent, to get foothold in their domin-
ions. In all their public declarations, and
in their private conversations, this senti-
ment is boldly avowed: they will never
suffer the troops to enter the city, and if
they do, it will be after the town has been
committed to the flames, the territory around
it laid waste, and all the inhabitants have
fled to the mountains. Their fanaticism
knows no bounds; they believe Brigham
Young to be the appointed agent of the
Lord, and whatever he commands them to
do, they will perform with alacrity. They
say that they have provisions sufficient to
last them for three or four years, and that,
prosecuted as they have been and are by the
Americans. they Will resiet to the last ex-
tremity.
These statements being true, as they un-
doubtedly are, the Government viii have to
make levies of new men, and to dispatch
heavy reinforcements to the army in Utah
next spring.

SLAVERY CLArSE.

PREAMBLE-The right of property is
before and higher than any constitutional
sanction, and the right of the owner of a
slave to such slave, and its increase, is the
same, and as inyiolable as the right of the
owner of any property whatever.
SECTION 1. The Legislature shall have no
power to pass laws for the emancipation of
slaves without the consent of their owners,
or without paying their owners previous to
their emancipation, full equivalent in mon
ey for the slaves so emancipated. They
shall have no power to prevent emigrants to
the State from bringing with them such
persons as are deemed slaves by the laws
of any one of the United States or Terrific
ries, so long as any person of the same age
or description shall be continued in Slavery
by the laws of this States Provided that
such person or slave be bona fide property
of such emigrant and provided also that
laws may be passed to prohibit the intro
duction into this State of slaves who have
committed high crimes in other States or
Territories. They shall have power to pass
laws to permit the owners of slaves to
emancipate them, saving the rights of cred-
itors, and preventing them from becoming
public charge. They shall have power to
oblige the owners of slaves to treat them
with humanity, to provide for them neces-
sary food and clothing. to abstain from al
injuries to them extending to life or limb
and in case of their neglect or refusal to
comply with the direction of such laws, tc
have such slave or slaves sold for the bene-
fit of the owner or owners.
SEC. 2. In the prosecution of slaves foi
crimes of higher grade than petit larceny,
the Legislature shall have no power to de-
prive them of an impartial trial by a petit
jury
SEC. 3. Any person who shall malicious
" dismember or deprive slave of life, shall
suffer such punishment as would be infiict
ed In case the like offence had been com
mitted on free white person, and on the
ike proof, except in case of insurrection o

Ma. EDIroR: This quiet little village is
somewhat excited this morning in conse-
quence of the announcement made, that on
last night three of Gen. George r. Smith 3
negroes. and youth, who called himself
Henry Ward Spencer, left, taking with them
five of the Generals horses. Spencer came
to Gen. Smiths several weeks ago, saying
he came from the East, on his way to Kan
zas; and has been enjoying the Generals
hospitalities, until last night.
Said Spencer is about. eighteen wears of
age, small, slender stature weighing about
one hundred pounds). of delicate appear
ance, light hair, an effeminate voice, and del
icate appearance generally. He says that
his father lives in Pennsylvania, and his
manners and conversation prove him to be
a Yankee, raised in some of the Eastern
cities. He appears TO have been decentiy
raised, and wears suit of black l believe
cloth) and a cap.
One OF the slaves IS man named Henry,
of ordinary size, dark eompiexion, and very
smart; the other two are young bright mtl-
latto women. 1t Is thought that they have
gone toward Kanzas Territory, or made for
Iowa. Gen. Smith Is now absent at a meet
ing of the directors of the Pacific Railroad
at ST. Louis. Several friends have gone in
pursuit of the fugitives, >and it is to be
