DEAR Sir:
Do you think that one of the late earthquakes
has swept this fourshng city from the surface Of tho
earth. There is perha2sno town these our United
States of which we do not read a report IN your
paper now and then. But of our city, the Herald it
appears thinks proper to leave his readers in utter
darkness We frequent our balls and concerts,
meetings and lectures, just as you do, and if you
call your city the emporium of this glorious csun
try. we shall call ours by and by, the emporium of
the west. Our court house has been crowded last
week. Leonidas Walker, the man who shot a
lawyer by the name Of Farr, Oomery of your city,
IN the street, has been found gully by his peers
We expect a good business In murder, shooting, and
other nceties OF the same kind Our theatre stands
empty this winter, but has lately been occupied by
the members of the Irish Repeal Association who
held there mass meeting on st. Pa,rick's day,
which was glorious affair, and did great credit to
the Irish population here, who through the evening"
kept up the best order, and the meeting was ad-
dressed by several gentlemen OF this city, and
City Attorney, and also by Mr. s. ]. Rogers, of
Dublin, lately from Boston, who ranks very highly in
that city amongst the distinguished sons of the
Emerald Isle.
The celebrated Rainier family from Tyrol is here,
and captivates the OF every friend of music
by their soul stirring melodes they have sung
here to crowded houses, and would seem il the
citizens meant to detarn them still longer, they
have been here now upwards of a month. One of
them informed me, that they going north as
soon as they leave here, and before their departure
Tor the chvalrlc land of Hoier and Tell, they intend
to give a few more concerts in New York and
Boston.
Sir VIM Stewart. the distinguished Scotsman, is
daily expected from New Orleans. A large party of
fruup hrC tn uiatf h
Rocky Mountains and the Oregon Territory. Pub
lie opinion gives to this enterprise political ten
dency: The party will consist OF from 800 to 600
picked men, all armed and mounted amongst the
foreigners who to join the cavalcade, mention
a person whom all daily walk streets
plainly dressed, who is said to be a German Prince,
and near relation to Prince Albert. Should saucy
little Vic have taken fancy to the far west, who
knows but old Missouri and her noble sons, will
show her some play before she can place her banner
In that region.
Reports from Mississippi mention conspiracy
amongst the negroes OF seven large cotton estates.
British preachers, is said. frequently upon
the shores OF the river, who no doubt are encourag
ing the blacks One of them, | am Just told, has
fallen sacrifice TO his evil dOings
Emigrants are hocking in here from all parts. A
large portion OF our city Is entirely occupied by
them, and Is called already little Germany. The
inhabitants seem to be in a furnishing condition,
and get up their new brick houses every day.
Some apostles OF the divine fool Miller, have tried
to convert our citizens, and to make them believe in
the coming destruction of the earth, but it no
60. Apt as people are to devour the humbug Of our
politicians, they could not swallow this doctrine.
The meeting was interrupted by groans and Kisses,
some rotten eggs and other decaces hurled at the
| saints, when the crowd rushed out and broke the
windows as parting Civ6y. The next meeting
will be got up at blacksmith shop as they say the
head man OF the prophet is to mount the anvil and
the boys say 1t is the tes place, because the smiths
tongs are now al hand TO pull their with. Our
city election comes off April 3d. We expect hot
work between the wings and locos When over you
shall heart from me again. Truly, yours,
A MIssoURAN.
