beautiful prairie, which the wild taste of the

Village, is the rendezvous Of the Oregon emf
grants, assembled here 10 complete their final
organization. One hundred and four wagons,
arranged in an oval ring, and linked together
Ito enclose the stock, and an impregnable for
3tress to protect them. One hundred more wa
lgons, encamped in groups, at small distances,
scomple;e the troop here assembled which, dot
3ing the plain with their snow-white covers, re-
bounding with a busy multitude plying to and
atro in business of preparation, or hcrding the
4cloud ofstock engaged in devouring the luxu
ariant grass, serve to heghten in interest a scene
Hull of animation, sunshine and excitement
