Ihe Normons.--A company number
ing some fifteen or twenty men, belonging
to Cho,eau's Fur Company, says the ST.
Louis New Era, arrived yesterday on the
Balloon. They started from Fort st.
Pierre about the first of last month, and
came as far as Fort Leavenworlh in two
Macknaw boats laden with robes. Get.
'ing tired of their boats at that place, they
abandoned them and shipped their contents
on board the steamer Balloon, in which
they reached this city The only item of
news they bring is the arrival and eEcamp-
ment OF large body Of Mormons, three
or four thousand in number and near one
thousand wagons. at Bellevew, short
distance below Council Bluffs. They
had been there and on the road several
months. and were suffering, it is said,
severely for the want of provisions;
many were reported in an actual state OF
starvation. Provisions and game are very
scarce in that portion of the country, and
to supply their immediate necessities they
bad bought all the provisions stored al
the Bluffs for the use of the Fur Gonna.
ny. Three messengers were seen by
their intorman,s on their way from For,
Leavenworth to them. but not, as has
been reported, for the purpose of enlisling
men for the Sanie Fe expedition; of quite
different nature was their errand. but
the exact purport of which was not known.
1t is said that it is the intention Of the
caravan to cross the Missouri and take IN
their winter quarters on Platte River
above the Pawnee country, and next
spring 10 go on to Oregon.
The present rise in The Missouri is re-
ported from the Mountains, and is the
annual June flood. But little snow fell
during the winter, and the weather was
unusually mild in the ATTITUDES of the
trading post, consequently the Buffalo
kept out upon the plains nearly all winter
and The hunting was not so good as in
previous years; Notwithstanding, the com
pany trading from Fort Pierre done a
very good business and succeeded in
getting large number of robes. The
other posts. 1t is presumed. have done as
well, and some eight or ten Mackinaw
boats are expected to arrive from them
soon.
