following is from the Christian Advocate OF this
city:-In Marion Country, Iowa, settlement
has recently been commenced under peculiarly
interesting circumstances. 1t consists OF from
900 TO 900 emigrants from Holland, drl wen
from their native land like the Pilgrim Fathers
of New England, by religious persecution. An
interesting account Of them was gwen ny one

is the substance: They are Protestant dlssen'

twenty persons to asse mbIe for religious wor.

ment, their meetings were broken up ana 'hey
were prevented from enjoying "treedom 10

give their children a religious education. In
consequence Of this they have removed 10 Ame'

sed two whole townships of land, each six miles

in fines. There are also five elders who act as
assistants to the Minister, laborins in word
and doctrine, and preparing business Tor The
action of the Church. The people are very
moral and industrious, and those who are pro.
tessors of religion are very conscientious in the
discharge Of duty. The Sabbath is strictly OH
served among them, and their children are
faithfully trained in the ways of sodliness.

Messrs. Harvey and Mclean arrived
in town yesterday from the Falls of the
Missouri, after trip Of very great hard
ships. Frem our friend, Mr.. Mclean, I'VE
get some particulars of the journey; hut
first we have few items of the upward
trip to mention, which are of interest.
On the 25tb of August last the boat on
which they were embarked, with their
goods, the Lake Of The Woods, exploded
her boilers, at the mouth of the Little
Cheyenne, fifteen hundred miles below
the point of destination. AS a proof of
mr. Harvey's energy, and readiness of
resource. before nightfau a sawpc was

Of another boat-a Mackinaw-in which

became very severe, yet they persevered,

terrible winds. On the first of November
snow began to fall, and on the sixth the
river closed. Horses were now sent for.
and finally the goods reached Fort Camp
bell. ut the Falls of the Missouri, by land.
On the 9Th December, Messrs. Harvey
and Mclean, with one other, leftthe Fort
on their return. The snow was so deep
that they could use neither horses nor
dogs, and they came on foot to the mouth
OF Yellow Stone, where large party of
Assiniboines attacked them, robbing them
OF clothing, &c. From the Yellow Stone
they started with dogs. but these they had
to abandon on account of the depth of
snow-more having fallen than on any
winter for fifteen years. The Sioux coun
try was reached, and at the Little Mis-.
souri, they succeeded in procuring mules,
hut the prairies having been burnt, the
animals soon gave out, and the travellers
were again on foot. For five days they
were without food; they suffered every
prlVaton. but finally, on the 10th inst,
they reached the Mormon encampment,
al the Old Bluffs, and were received with
every kindness and attention.

and deafening cheers for Clay.
The next speaker was 8. Teakle Wal.

almost flashed fire as he bent over the

were heaped upon him from all parts o,
