The NICARAGUA TRANsrT-NEw LINE OF
SrEAMERs.-The New York Tribune of the 21st
ult., announces that new line of boats would
be put on the Nicaragua route on the goth Of
January. This route, says the account, is re-
opened by the original Nicaragua Canal Co.,
and has no connection with the company known
as the Nicaragua Transit Company. The Pres
ident of the Company is Col II. s. Stebbins,
and the Directors are Messrs N. II. Wolfe, j.
L. White, r. Varick, j. p. Yelverton and David
White. The scheme includes the building of
a railroad from Virgin Bay to the Pacific, the
contract for which has been made, and the
contractors sail in the steamer on the Goth
proximo to commence the work. The boats
on the river and lake are to be delivered by the
Costa Ricans to this Company. TE#
The San Francisco Globe learns from VIM.
Garrison, Esq, that the above statement is err
roneous and that the line will be under the
direction Of Garrison and Vanderbilt. The
first steamer from New York will not leave be-
fore the 9TH February. The steamers 0rizaba,
Sierra Nevada, and new steamer now build
ing, will be employed on this side.

From the Northern Const.

By the arrival of the Commodore al San
Francisco, Jan. 10, news has been received
from Portland, Oregon, to the 14th inst. We
Gull the following: The Portland Standard OF
the 18th is informed by merchant from the
Daes, that Col. Steptoe had dispatched let
ter from Walla-Walla to Fort Dallas, giving
information Of rumor which had reached him
by reliable Indian runner of the Snake tribe,
to the following purport; There had been a
conflict in Salt Lake Valley, between detach-
ment Of United States troops under command
of Col. johnson, and superior force of Nor
mons. AT first, the Mormons routed the
troops, but they were afterwards rallied by
their officers, and turned upon their pursuers
A hard fight ensued, in which the troops event
ually proved victorious. After sustaining a
severe loss in killed and wounded, the Mormons
fed the action.
There also reached the Dalles another rumor
which does not come well authenticated, that
the Cayuse and WaIa-W Walla Indians had re-
Gently ordered all the whites in that section to
leave within five days
The Indians say that the white men who are
neither Bostons (Amcricans) nor King George
men English), offer to furnish them with plen-
ty Of muskets and ammunition to fight our
people; and from every indication that can be
gathered, it is evident that the Mormons are
busy melting the various tribes to acts of open
hostility. It seems, besides, to be universal
sentiment among the Indians on our northern
and western frontier, that there is to be trouble
in the approaching spring.
Efforts are being made in the Legislature to
procure an act for the construction Of a rail-
road from Astoria to Eugene City.

DEsTRUcTIyENEss.- in reference to the
Mormon, or some other speck Of war on the
horizon, our military cheftains arc furnishing
up their weapons of destructiveness. The
Secretary of War recently invited quite party
of distinguished foreigners to witness expert
ments at tho Arsenal, at Washington, made
with instruments of great Importance to the
art of war.
A patent train fusee appeared to possess all
the advantages of the galvanic battery in ye-
locity of ignition, while, as it is not detonatng,
it can not be exploded by any chance blow
Cannon were fired with it almost quicker than
thought, at long distance, and it was fired
thirty yards under water. An improved rocket
was also satisfactorily tested The rockets
were fired from their carriage, and struck with
remarkable accuracy at distance Of $50
yards. The great feature of the exhibition,
however, was the test Of the breech-loading
rife, which proved remarkable weapon, pos
sessing many points of novelty and Of excel
lence. The mechanism by which the breech
of the gun is opened for loading is simple, yet
strong and secure. The charge is contained
in small metallic cartridges, which have, at one
extremity, conical-pointed, hollow ball then
comes tho very small amount of powder re-
quired; and at the other extremity is the per-
cussion cap. These cartridges can be easily
loaded, are waterproof and can be used for a
long time. The piece is loaded and fired in
four motions, viz: the first opens the breech,
withdraws the shell of the last cartridge fired,
and cocks the piece; at the second motion the
loaded cartridge is inserted; the third motion
closes the breech and at the fourth motion
the cock can be let down, or the piece fred
After the most severe tests, there was no evil
dencc of the escape of the charge, or of any
gas, except at the muzzle of the piece. The
experiments with this new arm appeared to
give great satisfaction to all the gentlemen,
military and civilians, who were present

A FAMILY OF BAsDITs.-An extraordinary
trial lately occurred in the department of Alne,
in France. Fourteen prisoners were accused
of five murders and fifty-nine robberies, with
violence or otherwise. This was, in fact, a
band Of brigands, who managed to exist in a
peaceable neighborhood, simply by the fear
their names inspired, until their depredatons
became SO bold that the local authorities were
compelled to call into requisition extraordinary
means for their arrest They were nearly all
relatives, father, brothers, sisters, sons-in-law,
and brothers-in-law. An old man, the leading
spirit of the band, and three of the most ter
rible Of the others, were condemned, at the
conclusion of the trial, to the guillotine, while
a son was condemned to Imprisonment for life,
and several others to long terms of imprison-
ment. Lemaitre, one of the band, avowed in
court that, being the strongest, he was always
charged with the killing.

From HAvANA.-Advices from Havana, says
the Boston Post of Dec. IL, states that four
cargoes of negroes, numbering upwards of
1000, had been landed in Cuba within ten days.
Three Of the vessels sailed from Massachusetts,,
and are, it is thought, owned there
The French had placed large steam pro,
peller in the cooe trade, and landed s42
Chinese, who were sold by first hands to 9TH
ers, and by them to sub-contractors for labor,
realizing profit for each party Each specu-
lator made about $3.50 profit per head, and the
full price for Cinnamon with their hair uncut
was 1920 The authorities in the different
ports of entry openly connive at the traffic.
A financial scheme to issue paper certificates
in place of money was proposed by some banks
and commercial houses, but it is looked upon
as desperate effort to stave off insolvency.

SYNOPSIS OF SENATOR DOUGLASS SPEECH
A Washington paper gives the following con-
densed review Of Senator Douglass speech in
opposition to the Lecompton Constitution for
Kansas:
l. The organic act, organizing the Territory
of Kansas, provided that the people should be
left free to settle their domestic institutions for
themselves.
2. The President has fallen into funda-
mental error in supposing that the Nebraska
bill contemplated that the slavery question
should alone be decided by the people. On
the contrary, the act asserted the general
principle that they should settle all their insti-
tutions for themselves--not excepting slavery.
g. 1t is irregular for the Territorial Legisla-
ture to call Convention to frame the Consti-
tuition, without first obtaining the consent of
Congress; but Congress, in its discrimination,
may waive the irregularity, as it often has,
when It is admitted that the Constitution thus
framed is fair expression of the popular
voice. In this case, the delegates were elected
with the express understanding that they were
to frame Constitution to be submitted to the
people, and not to be put in operation until
ratified by them. The mode of submission in
this case is unfair, because it DISTINGUISHES a
large majority Of the people Of Kansas, by al
lowing those only to vote on the slavery clause
who will first vote for the Constitution, when
it is conceded that large majority would vote
against it If negative vote was allowed. tits
obnoxious, also, in the mode of holding the
election by exempting it from the operation
Of the election law Of the Territory, and al
lowing the President of the Convention to ap-
point three Commissioners in each county,
who are to appoint judges and clerks of cleo
ton, open the poll books at such places as
they shall think proper, and make returns in
such manner as they may determine, without
being required to be sworn, or conform to
the provisions of any law. Hence, frauds with
out number may be perpetrated by receiving
illegal and rejecting legal votes, and making
false returns, without violating any law or in
curing any penalty.
A. In conclusion, the Senator insisted that
the pledge of the organic act--that the people
should be left perfectly free to decide all local
questions for themselves-must be redeemed
in good faith, by securing fair election, at
which every legal voter, and none others,
shall have an opportunity Of voting for OF
against the Constitution under which he is to
live,

DIVISION OF TExAs-The subdivision of
Texas into two or more States is revived in
the public journals of that State. The New
Orleans Picayune, referring to the matter,
saws: No State in the Union has increased in
population and wealth, during the last few
years, more than Texas. Her estimated popu-
laton at this time amounts to more than half
million, and when the next census is taken
it will be found sufficient to entitle the State
to six or seven representatives in Congress-
Several reasons are given for division. The
great size of the State; the great dissmilarity
of its parts, and the difficulty of constant COM
mupication between all parts, and one centre
Of government, are among the chief of them.
The general political reason is the importance
of increasing the strength of the South in the
U. S. Senate, by the addition of more Sena-
tors, to check the increasing predominance of
the non-slaveholding States, from the growth
Of free.soil States in the Northwest The sub
division of Texas into not more than four
States is provided for by the articles of annex
alton. One of the principal objections is that
perhaps one Of the new States may be free
State, by reason of the predominance in one
portion of the State of settlers from Europe,
who do not employ slave labor. That danger
is overrated. 1t is proposed to avoid all ap-
prehension on that subject by making new
State out of the First Congressional District as
now constituted, which will be sure to adopt a
slave constitution and, in the remainder Of the
State-the original Texas-the preponderance
is clear and the constitutional provisions sufi-
ciently decided.
