LATE FROM OREGON AND CALIFoRNIA.-The
Western (Mo) Erpositor of the l6 inst. has later
accounts from Oregon aud California. compa-
ny arrived at Independence Monday last, part
OF whom we're from Oregon, and others from
California. The parties met in the wilderness
their way. Mr.. j. NJ. Shlylev informed the ed
or The Erpositor that he left Orgon on the l9
of April last.
He states that the settlers have ine prospect
for an abundant crop this year; aud that they were
making ample preparation 10 have every thing

Hall IN sufficient numbers to repel any attack that
might be meditated against them, Mr.. ShiverIy
is of opinion that the settlers ia Oregon will have
disturbances with the Indians during the coming
winter, but nothing serious was apprehended from
this expected outbreak.
He states that many ofihe settlers are IN favor
