The House of Represenitatives. in a report, No. 307 Thirty-fourth Congress, First session, recotnmends that we “open the trade of the Malay Archypelage at points where Holland fails to make good her pretentions to an exclusive intercourse,” and suggests that “private enterprise will be abundantly sufficient to acomplish,this end,” if protected by the Government; and says furthermore in this connection: “Let that surplus of “energetic ferce which frequently manifests itself by restlessnes at home, or in adventurous and ill-devisea enterprises, be turned into this opulent channel, and it will become a souree of strength at home and a theme of admiration abroad.” The Boston Board of Trade, reviewing this report, in a memorial addressed to Congrese, published by the Board in 1857, urge upon the attention of Congress the propriety and importance of dispatching “an envoy to ' negotiate treaties of amity and commerce with . any independent tribes or states of the Archipelago which may be found there of sufficient . power and importance to warrant so doing.” It is not the poliey of our Government to take the initiative in enterprises of this character, but it is ever ready to protect the enterprises . of private citizens in remote lands with which . we have had no previous intercourse, by the es. tablishment of diplomatic and consular agencies; and we are informed that the promoters of this new American enterprise in the South Pacific have been assured by the Executive that the kxpedition shall be protected by an official appointment, . The scheme now presented is a novel one, . and may appear somewhat romantic in some of . its aspects; but we are assured that it is the re. sult of much careful personal observation at . the point of settlement, and that it has been . earefully matured Our present relations with . China, which obtains from the Malay and Papuan islands the greater portion of the raw . staples employed in ber arts and manufactures, render the establishment of a free enterpot in the eastern portion of the Malay Archipelago, under American auspices, and to become in a measure an American Singapore, an event of signal importance to our Eustern and Pacific eommerce.—Jonrnal of Commerce. OvurraGE oN THE PLAIns.—A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing from Gilbert’s Station, South Pass, Noy. 22d, relates . the following : . On the 30th ult., Mr. E. I. Foote, a young Senator Douglas arrived 234 en route for Wasbington. during the evening. He addressed the assemblage, according to the Democrat, as follows : It was grateful to him on coming to St. Louie know that his public career was appreciated both by the praes of this city and the State of Misseuri, He spacouayed this expression of their sympathy after having just come out of other ism. In Illinois, Democrac this monster, mocrac alwayshad been. In some of the free States, Abolitionism had been permitted to triumph for a while, but you may set it down as a fact, said Mr. Douglas, that Illinois is always faithful. It wag a matter of pride to him that this Democracy in Ilinois was the same as in other States. These same glorious principles are the same in Illinois as in Missouri, in New York as iu Kentucky, in Louisana as in Mussachusetts These doctrines are believed in, because they are national, and not sectional. Iu Illinois, the fearful and false heresy had been proclaimed, that this Union could not endure half slave and halffree, In New York, Seward had uttered the same falsehood, which he copied from Lincoln, That falsehood had been hurled back with terrible force upon those that uttered it, and the recent triumphs of the Democracy had shown that the people were the best judgos of that matter, He advised his friends not to rejJoice over the misfortunes ofa fallen foe, but to rejoice that the glorious principles of popular sovereignty is regarded as the supreme law. It is ackuowledged that each State is sovereign, and hasaright to pursue with equal vigor whatever course she may deem best. Our fathers, said Mr. Douglas, made both free and slave States, and designed that they should remain so if the peeple should so choose, Let any State attend to its own affairs, and it will be prosperous and happy. If you here in Missouri, will take care of your own negroes, and mind your own business, you will be at peace with the whole world. You have aright to have slavery if you wish it, or not to have it, just as you please. In Illinois the people tried itfor twelve years, when they could make more money without it, and so they decided not tohave it longer. In Missouri the people could also do ag they please. Their duty was pointed out to them by the Constitution. Ifthe doctrine of State Rights is carried out, and we take the Constitation for our guide, there is no reason why each State cannot be friendly with the others. There was vo reason he thought, why we could not all be friends together, and labor for the promotion of our country’s good. has given Our political confederacy was susceptible of . improvement and expansion. If this doctrine of Popular Sovereignty is carried eut, we can add new Territory and make new States withEMOOR a terrible strife with Abolitionism and every . P Abolitionism, its death blow. De-.

This thing has assumed that serious shape when publicity becomes & duty; for, strange as it may seem, the influence bas so ramified that it was feared, at one time, in the early stages of the Kansas struggle, last session, when the House was nearly equally divided, that the scale would be turned by @ turn of the screw upon particular members who were kuown to be in the power of the gamblers, It may well be asked where are we drifting, when such things can be, and go uorebuked t”’ Tur Mission San Jose.—A correspondent of the Stockton Argus writes thus from the Mission San Jose : “The Mission Church, built by the Jesuits in 1797, is the object of attraction to all who visit the town. Its proportions and the manner in which it is built, resemble very much the churches erected upon other Mexican grounds alorg the Pacific coast at about the same period, Attached to it are long rowsof adobe buildings, used in primitive days as granaries and workshops, but now nearly all tenantless and rapidly falling to decay. The Mission is now supported by Mexicans in the vicinity, who resort to it on Sundays and other holy-days as in times past. The present Curate is a Frenchman, whom the Mexicans dislike, and have almost unanimously subscribed to a petition to the Archbishop for his removal, and the reinstatement of a former Curate, a boyish-looking Mexican, with delicate moustache and flue personal appearance, and popular throughout the parish for the good quality of hia cigaritos and the liberality he manifests in their distribution out any difficulty. Wecan add to our possessions Mexico and Cuba, and all the territory adjacent, ‘It is the mission of the Democracy to expand,’’ said he. If other territory is required and demanded—he was willing to take itinto the Union, This cannot well be done unless Congress shall leave the people of those territories and countries to decide for themselves what they wish to do. The Democratic party basa mission to perform. It basa pe history to look back upon, and it is the only party that has a glorious past behind it, and a bright future before it; it is the only historical party now in the country.

Srayina Wasts.—Upon the allegation of liability to waste, and the neoessity of staying it by injunction, in the New Almaden mine case, the San Jose 7’ribune says : The object of the injunction laid upon the operations at New Almaden, is to ‘stay waste ”’ and to preserve for the claimant to whom the Courts shall award the proprietorship, the rich profits supposed to be constantly flowing from the mines. It so happens, however, that the present company have for some time past been carrying on several of those gigantic improvements for which they bave become famous, such as the new road up the mountain, and eapecially the new tunnel on the northeastern side of the hill, which, when completed, will effectually drain the mines for a century to come. The expenditure attendant upon these improvements by far exceeds the profitsof the mines; so that the company have constantly been sinking money in their operations, and that largely, instead of accumulating it. The gederodity of the outsiders in interfering to stay this waste of capital on the part of the company who, they fear, will not be allowed to reap the benefit of the investment, is highly commendable— if they were aware of the facts, Miuitary Prorecrion to Tux OVERLAND Rovre.—The St. Louis correspondent of the San Francieco Bulletin says ‘the subject of additional proteetion to the overland route bas long since received the sanction of the Secretary of War, and be bas formally declared his intention to put it into effect, The illness of Mr. Floyd has, however, delayed the publication of a regular army order descriptive of the exact plan he may have adopted: but the measure is already on foot. A detachment of the First Infautry is now moving from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Smith, and nearly three hundred infantry and dragoon recruits passed through St. Louis recently, a part of whom are probably under orders for posts lying along the mail route. The close of the Iadian war in Oregon will afford the Department an opportunity to detach troops for service weat of El Paso. Derravity ov THK PResa,—The discussion of the action of the Goveroment agents touching the New Almaden Quicksilver Mines, has given evidence of a greater amount of dishonesty, in the conducting of certain newspapers of the State, than we had the most remote idea existed anywhere outside of ‘Newgate,’ or New York. According to the S. F. National, all those papers that oppose the action of the Government agents have been bought.

OvurraGE oN THE PLAIns.—A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing from Gilbert’s Station, South Pass, Noy. 22d, relates . the following : . On the 30th ult., Mr. E. I. Foote, a young Senator Douglas arrived 234 en route for Wasbington. during the evening. He addressed the assemblage, according to the Democrat, as follows : It was grateful to him on coming to St. Louie know that his public career was appreciated both by the praes of this city and the State of Misseuri, He spacouayed this expression of their sympathy after having just come out of other ism. In Illinois, Democrac this monster, mocrac alwayshad been. In some of the free States, Abolitionism had been permitted to triumph for a while, but you may set it down as a fact, said Mr. Douglas, that Illinois is always faithful. It wag a matter of pride to him that this Democracy in Ilinois was the same as in other States. These same glorious principles are the same in Illinois as in Missouri, in New York as iu Kentucky, in Louisana as in Mussachusetts These doctrines are believed in, because they are national, and not sectional. Iu Illinois, the fearful and false heresy had been proclaimed, that this Union could not endure half slave and halffree, In New York, Seward had uttered the same falsehood, which he copied from Lincoln, That falsehood had been hurled back with terrible force upon those that uttered it, and the recent triumphs of the Democracy had shown that the people were the best judgos of that matter, He advised his friends not to rejJoice over the misfortunes ofa fallen foe, but to

rejoice that the glorious principles of popular sovereignty is regarded as the supreme law. It is ackuowledged that each State is sovereign, and hasaright to pursue with equal vigor whatever course she may deem best. Our fathers, said Mr. Douglas, made both free and slave States, and designed that they should remain so if the peeple should so choose, Let any State attend to its own affairs, and it will be prosperous and happy. If you here in Missouri, will take care of your own negroes, and mind your own business, you will be at peace with the whole world. You have aright to have slavery if you wish it, or not to have it, just as you please. In Illinois the people tried itfor twelve years, when they could make more money without it, and so they decided not tohave it longer. In Missouri the people could also do ag they please. Their duty was pointed out to them by the Constitution. Ifthe doctrine of State Rights is carried out, and we take the Constitation for our guide, there is no reason why each State cannot be friendly with the others. There was vo reason he thought, why we could not all be friends together, and labor for the promotion of our country’s good. has given Our political confederacy was susceptible of . improvement and expansion. If this doctrine of Popular Sovereignty is carried eut, we can add new Territory and make new States withEMOOR a terrible strife with Abolitionism and every . P Abolitionism, its death blow. De-.

Its proportions and the manner in which it is built, resemble very much the churches erected upon other Mexican grounds alorg the Pacific coast at about the same period, Attached to it are long rowsof adobe buildings, used in primitive days as granaries and workshops, but now nearly all tenantless and rapidly falling to decay. The Mission is now supported by Mexicans in the vicinity, who resort to it on Sundays and other holy-days as in times past. The present Curate is a Frenchman, whom the Mexicans dislike, and have almost unanimously subscribed to a petition to the Archbishop for his removal, and the reinstatement of a former Curate, a boyish-looking Mexican, with delicate moustache and flue personal appearance, and popular throughout the parish for the good quality of hia cigaritos and the liberality he manifests in their distribution out any difficulty. Wecan add to our possessions Mexico and Cuba, and all the territory adjacent, ‘It is the mission of the Democracy to expand,’’ said he. If other territory is required and demanded—he was willing to take itinto the Union, This cannot well be done unless Congress shall leave the people of those territories and countries to decide for themselves what they wish to do. The Democratic party basa mission to perform. It basa pe history to look back upon, and it is the only party that has a glorious past behind it, and a bright future before it; it is the only historical party now in the country.

Srayina Wasts.—Upon the allegation of liability to waste, and the neoessity of staying it by injunction, in the New Almaden mine case, the San Jose 7’ribune says : The object of the injunction laid upon the operations at New Almaden, is to ‘stay waste ”’ and to preserve for the claimant to whom the Courts shall award the proprietorship, the rich profits supposed to be constantly flowing from the mines. It so happens, however, that the present company have for some time past been carrying on several of those gigantic improvements for which they bave become famous, such as the new road up the mountain, and eapecially the new tunnel on the northeastern side of the hill, which, when completed, will effectually drain the mines for a century to come. The expenditure attendant upon these improvements by far exceeds the profitsof the mines; so that the company have constantly been sinking money in their operations, and that largely, instead of accumulating it.
