ST. LOUIS. Nov. l6.--Mr Lander, of Magraw's
wagon road survey, arrived here on Saturday, en-
route to Washington. The expedition has gone
into Winter quarters at Wind River, near the
South Pass. Mr.. Lander corroborates the Drevi-
Gus reports, relative to the destruction of the
Government trains by the Mormons. In conse-
quence of the new discoveries and explorations
by Landor's party, the military force had aban-
doned the old route, and were approaching Salt
Lake Valley by the open plains of the Western
descent, and BY the Bear River and Malade Riv-
ers, Gov. Cummings and Col, Cooke had met,
and were within two days march of Fort Lara
mic. Brigham Young dselaims any knowledge
of participation in the destruction of the sup
ply trains.

From Cubu-Tho Slave Trade.

HAVANA, Nov. 9,-Gen. Concha and his
subordinates are waking up to the suppress
sion of the slave trade fhe Spanish war
steamer on the 3lst ult., had captured the
American barque Yesta, of Boston, and bro't
her into tins port, having on board one hun
bred and sixteen Africans.
On the 9TH of November the steamer Colon
brought into this port an American barque,
captured in the vicinity of Sagua La Grande,
having on board four hundred and sixty Afri-
cans. The officers and crew were alently
Americans. The vessel is supposed to be the
Petrol, owned partly in Boston (formerly),
and Portland.
Several other vessels have landed cargoes
within the last ten days.
During the past week our sugar market has
been less active, owing to continued u1favor-
able accounts and returns from the markets of
Europe and the United States, added to the
stringency pressing upon our commercial and
trading community. Prices have yielded a
small fraction under the circumstances.

official dispatches today from Col. Johnston,
in command of the Utah expedition, but pri-
vate advices leave no doubt on his mind as to
the truth of the statements contained in Judge
Echos's dispatch about the destruction of the
government trains.
Gen. Scott is absent from headquarters,
and as Col, Johnston's dispatches would 60
there, they are no doubt now in New York
The Utah expedition was supplied with full
provisions for one year, The trains destroyed
constituted only one sixth part of the whole,

could be most easily spared l am author
lied to say that the expedition will not suffer
the slightest inconvenience from the loss of
the destroyed trains, and that the force under
Col. Johnston, two thousand men all told, are
in no peril whatever, either from the Nor

off at one place as another, as he has every
thing with him necessary for the Winter

1t was confidently hoped that the ship would
be aHoat at high water on Wednesday, the
4th. During the operations a sudden strain
on one Of the drums, caused it to revolve with
great velocity, throwing several men into the

with great violence. -Four men had arms and
legs broken, one of whom died while being
carried to the hospital. Immense numbers of
people, including many distinguished men,
assembled on the shore and river TO witness
the launch.
The Times of Wednesday, says the post
ponement of further efforts to Dec. I'd, had
been resolved on, and meantime the ship will
