There appears 10 be some misunderstood

with pious sorrow, that they ARE greatly in

duty of every saint ''to gather at one Of the
stakes as soon as he can bring his family
and possessions"
There is an article on the subject of the

From the II. Louis Rcveillc.
from California.

Last evening, about 10 o'clock, the StCa-
mcr Amelia arrived from ST. Joseph. bring
lng, as passengers. among whom are Gen.
kcarncy, Major Swords. Captains Turner
and Cook, and Mcs>rS. William Fulton.
William IL. Peterson, and -- Duff. They
left California on the 18th Of June, and came
10y Fort Hall, meeting with little of adven-
urc ON the way. The Oregon emieIants
were met at various points, getting along
very well. There were about 800 wac.
ons met on the route, nearly all for Ore
gun.
The snow on the California mountains
was found to be very deep. From the 10Th
to the 2uth of Jane the Company encoun-
tered snow from two to fifteen feet deep.
Cot. Fremont accompanied the party in,
rs far ~ the western frontier Of this state.
He is hourly expected in tins city, and is
said to be Under arrest.
The entire party consisted of about sixty
persons, nineteen of whom were of the To-
biographical corps of Col. Fremont. Among
the gentlemen whose names are not includ.
ed with those above mentioned, were Hon.
" ll1rd =. Hall, Lieut.. Radford, and Ed
win Bryant, Esq, OF Lexington, Ky.
Some OF the Oregon emigratS, it was
thought, would be compelled To winter in
the mountains, in consequence of their late
>'1rt. They were met on the Swcotwa-
ter.
The California Star, Of the 4th June, IA
vorcd u> by Mr.. Fallon, contains long ar
ticle in reference 90 the difficulties existing
between Gen. kcarny and Col. Fremont
While it admits that the course Of the latter
had rendered him very unpopular in Cali
ioInia, II leans TO the conclusion that pccu-
liar circumstances attendant We're of kind
which rendered his course unavoidable.
In the star of the fifth is a thrilling ac-
count otthc suffering, of the emigrant par
" in the mountains last winter. Il is from
a journal kept 10y Capt. fallon, who with
six others. went IN search OF the sufferers
vt present We have only room for the intro
ductory paragraph Of the editor of tie Star.
THE extracts which we give below are
fun of thrilling interest. Mr.. Eallon set out
from the settlements in April last with siN
others, to extend relief 10 the remaining
sufferers of the emigration still within the
mountains, and also to collect and secure
the scattered property Of both living and
dead. He succeeded in reaching the ca
bins, and with the exception of kiesburg
not Il soul survived. They returned, bring
ing with them this man, and large packs Of
valuable property.
"kicSburg was found in truly lamenta-
bic situation; long subsistence upon the
bodies of his deceased comrades had rem
dcrcd him ha-gard and ferociouS looking,
and the Unsuitable appetite Of the cannlbal
displayed itself on frequent occasions, even
after animal meat had been placed before
him. This fondneS, for human flesh he had
suffered himself to acquire in preference to
the beef or horse meat. of which he had an
abundance; and it is TO be feared that his
conduct in the mountains was far from JUS
tiiiablc, and hidden transaction Of guilt re-
mains yet to be brought to light"
