The Mormon TRoUBLE.-Despatches have
been received at Washington confirmatory
of the report of the capture and destruction
of government provision trains by the Nor
mons. The first overt act of treason against
the federal authorities was perpetrated on
the 5th ut., near Pacific Spring. No one
was killed in the affair, as the small escort Of
the trains offered no resistance. 1t is stated
that COL Johnston was determined to winter
in the valley of the Great Salt Lake, and the
route of the expedition had been changed
in order to reach that point by a road less
obstructed by snow than the one originally
adopted. The Mormons were assembling in
large force TO oppose the advance of the
troops.
KASsAs.-We have all sorts of accounts
of the proceedings of the Kansas Consttu-
tional Convention. One states that a :epa-
rate clause to the constitution, broadly sane
tioning slavery, will only be submitted to the
people for ratification or rejection, while the
constitution itself, and the Territorial laws
confirmed by it, will remain in full force
another states that report from the minori-
ty of the committee on the constitution was
adopted, providing that the question Of rati
ticaion or rejection should not be submitted
to the people This was done on the 7th
inst. but before the final vote on the adop-
ton of the constitution was taken the Con-
vention adjourned till the 9th. Another ac-
count states that the constitution is to 90 be-
fore the people, and that the election is to
take place on the Dist Of December. 1t will
take a day or two to clarity this matter, so
as to enable us to see exactly how the con
stitution stands. " y. XeroM.
