NEWS FROM THE PLAINS.—Young's freight train (Joseph W. Young, captain) contains 46 freight wagons, 4 wagons with families, 340 head of cattle, 24 horses and mules: 100 souls. Twelve days out from Florence: all well. This train is taking out the machinery for an extensive paper mill, weighing 22 tons. It is expected that the capacity of this mill is sufficient, when in operation, to supply the whole territory of Utah with paper.—Huntsman's Echo, Aug. 16.
