Oregon Emigration.

we understand tina, large number of
em'Brunts are congrcgaled at Indepen-
uehce preparatory TO their emigration TO
Oregon, There are two separate com.
pHn'cs organized, and they will start about
the @Oih Of April. They Number abou.
one thousand persons, and have a good
supply of wagons and animals. All the
houses in Independence were FLIED, and
large number were encamped in tents
in the vicinity.
Al ST. Josephs, in the Platte country,
there was another large company, with
about two hundred and twenty wagons.
lhey expected to start about the same
time as the company from Independence.
Another company, with about thirty
five wagons, vas assembled C., another
point on the river.
II was supposed that considerable ac-
cessions would be made to these compa.-
les before their departure.
Lieut.. Fremont is about TO start on an
other exploring expedition beyond the
mountains, and one hundred and fifty
young men were at Independence engaq-
ed to go with him. They were furnish,
ed with mules and equipped for ,heirjour-
ney. The rush of emigration beyond the
Rocky mountains will be very great, and
those who expect to join the company
should repair TO the frontier Immediately.
The companies are very particular to
preserve the character of the expedition.
No persons is permitted to join an cmi-
grazing company until he TIA: undergone

FLOWERS.

Tho flowers the flowers they smilo on all
BY cottage door and princely hall;
They brighten in the sunshine fair,
And fill with sweet the midnight air;
They spring in forests dark and old
On mountain tops they brave the cold,
And have heard that Ocean blue
Sweep over flowers OF matchless hue.
And ever find they sweet employ,
Those little messengers of Joy
They glance along the shaded way
Where oft the merry school-boys play,
Half crushed in apron clean and neat,
Out at the sides they love 10 peep;
Or cushioned kiss some rosy hand
The richest vase in all the land.
The flowers the flowers are taught Of cd !;
They blossomed where the Saviour trod,
He saw them innocent and fair,
Sustained by Heavens unpurchased care,
inc TO his pure and holy eyes,
They more than equallcd Syrian dyes
The Eastern monarch famed of old,
In robes ofpurple wrought with gold,
Must to the Lilly of the field,
The glory of his vcsturc yield.
