:. MIR. II. Holder, of Illinois, who started for
the Pacific last May year ago, in company with
A. J. Gayson, Mr.. G. L. Curry, of the RspsiHe,
and others, arrived in town last evening on the
Tributary. Mr.. Holder, with party of nine
teen, ,-lefi Oregon City on the 5:h of May, aud ar
rived at ST. Joseph on the 9th Of July, making
the trip in eightythree days. the shortest, by se-
ven days.. yet accomplished. They zane the
southern route, too, through northern California,
which added two hundred and fifty miles to their
travel. The trip will very soon be made in sixty
days. in fact Mr.. H. is Of opinion that bis party
might have done it in that time had speed been
an object. While in California they were attack
ed at night by the Shaste Indians, who killed three
Of their horses. At the forks of the Platte they
encountered an immense body of Pawnecs-sev-
eral thousands, who.robbed them of nea rly every
thing, and even held council whether or no, they
should kill them. In Oregon they had Just re-.
ceived the treaty made with England, and il was
exciting much debate.
The emigrants looked for Governor ard an
extension of the laws of the United States over
the territory, at once. Their disappointment will
be severe.
! AT Fort Hall, Mr.. Holder encountered Mr.. S.
Brounan, Of New York. publisher Of the Cafor.
MIA Star, who had come from San Francisco, in
order TO meet the emigrants and accompany them
back 10 the bay. Mr.. Braunan gave Mr. II. a
Star of the 25ih April, wi ich we have. He al
so reported that Col. Fremont had been placed
under arrest by Gen. kearny, and that he was or
his way home to the States for trial. Com. Stock
ton wasalso on his way home, and Com. Shu'
brick, with the fleet, had gone south 10 blockade
the Mexican ports. All was quiet in California

We shall overhaul the file for tomorrow, and al

ters. Mr. A. J. Grayson was at San Francisco.
For the information of his friends we would state
that he had served as Lieutenant in the army
but that, at last dates he was ged in tho lum
Der business.
In one of his editorials Mr. Curry remarks:-
The fact that four vessels have entered our riv.
er nearly together, have received their cargoes
| and are off again within Il month, argues well for
our commerce, aud gives promise of what Ore.
gon may yet do. In the autumn. when our gra
naries are crnmmed with wheat and our store.
houses full OF flour, we hope 10 chronicle a still
greater enlargement of commercial operation"
