THE UTAH TRAIs;.-The Nebraska Ne,cs goes
into ecstacies at the prospect of seeing the
great train of Majors, Russell & Co.. on the
move to the plains. 1t enumerates, as necessary
to complete it, two thousand wagons, each haul
ing fifty thousand pounds of freight, sixteen
thousand cattle, two acres of OK yokes to hitch
them up with, two thousand OK drivers and
then it proceeds to imagine what grand opera
the cavalcade would make:
Suffice it to say that thousand Whips are
cracking. sixteen thousand tails are gaily snap
ping the flies of June away, two thousand dri-
vers shriekng, eight thousand wagon wheels
squeakng, all eager to join the anti-Morman
fray, when at the closing recitative herd of
bufaoes and six hundred Indians break in up
on the train, and general stampede ensues !;
then, and not till then, do we show our true mu-
steal strength"

The KING OF DELHIfs SENTENCE.-The unsat-
isfactory nature of the kilograms received, rem
dered it difficult for many to understand the
precise locality to which the King of Delhi has
been banished. For the information of nume-
rous correspondents: we furnish the following
facts respecting the settlement. Andaman Is
lands, or Andamus, chain of islands on the
East side of the Bay of Bengal, consisting of four
principal islands and number of smaller. The
whole chain extends from lat. 10 10 to II 55
north Ion. 90 % to "a Is east. In 1871 the
English effected settlement near the south ex-
tremity to the Great Andaman but IN 793 re-
moved it 20 Port Corvallis on the east side,
and near the north extremity. The object of the
undertaking was the procuring of good harbof
to shelter ships during the northeast monsoon,
and to receive convicts from Bengal

FREE AND SLAVE LABoR-Mr Clark, of Mis-
souri,, in his speech on the Kansas question. in
the House of Representatives, uttered the fol-
lowing sentiments which all men who have
lived in slave state will endorse:
Gentlemen speak about this being question
between free labor and slave labor. That is not
the question. Whenever you free the negroes,
then it is that fellow-ctizens raise objection
to being put upon Il level with free negroes
While the labor is performed by slaves, our
sons, our brothers, and all our fellow citizens,
work in the same field and in the same shop
with slaves. They are slaves and their labor
is considered inferior; but the moment you
free the slave: you raise the dignity of his la
Dor, and bring down that of the white man, and
they are put on level; and that is the reason
why the two races cannot work together That
is well known fact in other States, and every
where.

Extract from MIR. Broderick's Speechy
against the Admission Of Kansas.

Mr. Hammond, of South Carolina (whose fa-
ther, by the way,was a Yankee mcdaniel hav-
ing spoken of the laborers of the north as
"white slaves and the mud-sills of society"
Mr.. Broderick, towards the close of his speech,
thus eloquently replies:
|, sir, am glad that the Senator has spoken
thus. 1t may have the effect of arousing in the
working men that spirit which has been lying
dormant for centuries. It may also have the ef-
feet of arousing the two hundred thousand men
with pure White skins in South Carolina, who
are degraded and despised by thirty thous-
and aristocratc shareholders. 1t may. teach
them TO demand what is The ncE.s.E
"Link'd with success, assumed and kept w.t..

That moulds another's weakness to its will:
Wields with their hands; but, still to them un-
known,

own

lima did not intend to be personal in his remarks
to any OF his peers upon this floor. If had

Gov. DESvER.-We learn by the Kansas Her
aid Of Freedom that this gentleman still remains
acting Governor. He has his gubernatorial COM
mission but he has not qualified under it, be-
cause to do so would render the Office of Sec
retary of the Territory vacant, and there is no
provision for filling that but by new appoint
ment by the President. In case the Crittenden
substitute should be adopted, the latter ap-
pointment will become very important mas

Commissioners designated to have charge of

Day" Horace Greeley has sent bis affidavit to
Kansas, swearing that he did not vote at Kick
apoo, as reported by the poll books The Leav-
enworth Times expresses hope that James
Buchanan, William II. Seward, Thomas Benton,
Edwin Forrest and other distinguished gentle
men, whose names appear in the kickapoo poll
books with that of Mr.. Greeley, will lose no
time in making their afidavits, and relieving
themselves from the taint that must else tarnish
their names and character. The people OF Kan
sas demand an explanation of the suspicious
circumstances attached to their names"

CHASE AFTER SHARK-The Norfolk .4rqus

A CHASE AFTER SHARK.-The Norfolk Argus
contains the following:
"A gentleman and servant, a stalwart negro,
went fishing for rock the Bay shore. The
big darkey, after wading out, tied the line
around his body Soon an old shark came
along and swallowed the bait, and Sambo held
the line. The powerful fish, however, drew him
gradually out in deep water by rapid move
ment. tghtened the line and dashed furiously
out from the shore, followed by the darkey who
alternately disappeared beneath the waves and
rose to the surface, grabbing at his knife as he
rushed on with almost lightning speed in the
wake of the shark. He was seen at the distance
OF nearly mile, entirely beyond the reach of
assistance and victim of his own hazardous
daring and imprudent temerity."

CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURALLY VIEwED-Out of
the territory of California, three States, each as
large as New York, might be formed. Of her
immense domain, not less than forty-tro millions
Of acres are adapted to agriculture-exclusive of
five million acres of swamp and overfowed
lands, the most of which is susceptible of being
reclaimed. In addition. she has some thirty mil
lions of grazing land-making a total adapted to
agricultural and grazing purposes, of seventy
millions of acres. OF this amount, according to
the most recent information, about six hundred
thousand acres are enclosed, and some forty
eight thousand under cultivation.

THE BREAD or LIFE-" Well, Uncle Sam, how
did you like the sermon today"
"Well, Massa Tom, the truth of the business
is jes this: when | goes to church, ] loves to
see the preacher take the bread of life and
break it up in little pieces, and then put these
pieces on different shelves, some high and some
low, SO that the smallest man in Christ can get
his piece, and the highest man of God can get
his. Now when the Doctor breaches. he takes
the whole loaf and puts it way up yonder where
nobody can get it but himself and some few,
smart as he is "

GASDARo.-This scoundrel, we believe, was
one of the Sonorians who participated in the
massacre of Crabb's party. He has recently been
warning with party i'll Sonora which, proving
the strongest, overpowered, captured and killed
him. Before he was defeated and killed, how
ever, says the Cta'nor PuJlico, published at Los
Angeles, he ordered his Indians to burn Rafael
Gotta, respectable old man of Ures, alive; and
they did so. They also inflicted brutal violence
on FIVE girls of the same city.

News from Utah---Reported Evacuation
of Salt Lake.

The Los Angeles CORRESPONDENT of the 4ho
says that d. Clark, D. Starks, Jo Matthews, and
others, recently arrived at San Bernardino from
Salt Lake, for the professed purpose of taking
away some agricultural implements which be-
longed to one of them. They bring quite e1cit-
ing intelligence. As they are all Mormons, how
ever, but little credence is placed in their state
ments. We quote as follows:
Col. Kane, who appears to be acting as Com
missioner, with powers to treat, after a coufer-
encc with Brigham Young, had gone to Camp
Scott, as Fort Bridg is now called 1t was be-

them to meet With their wives, their little

is to be given up to the use of the soldiers who
are there ordered to erect military post. This
circular was seen and read by these gentlemen.

When they left, the movement had already
begun, and they assert that by this time the city
is vacated, and the army of Gen. Cummings is
in occupation.

1t is said that the people have ceased to use
sugar, tea, coffee, and other articles which are
considered Indispensable in housekeeping, be-
cause these things not to be had There is
also said to be a scarcity ofmaterial for women's
clothing, and many of them go dressed in pants
and coats.
The people of the southern settlements are
almost in open rebellion against the Church.
They are taxed enormously for the support of
their army, that their substance is nearly eaten
up The tax amounts to SO per cent of their
whole property.
