money. Thev asked Us $40 for bushel

money. They asked US $l,40 for bushe
of sweet corn, and can raise as much corn to
| the acre on this land as can be raised any
where. They ask about s or 10 prices fol
everything, and no doubt get all they buy Of
the Indians for little. This is the way things
are managed here at all events, from what
saw.
Monday The 26th,- This morning, after the
fright last night, we call meeting organize
a company, and elect our officers. Col. An
drew McEvan was elected captain and Will
liam Harmed, of Illinois, Lieutenant. We
have eight wagons and 30 men in our compa-
ny. After the organization of our company,
we proceeded on our way. Tuesday the 29th.
We have travelled about Is miles, and are
now encanped at one of the most beautiful
streams have seen in long time. This day
we have had some Of the most splendid and
romantic sights | ever beheld. Captain Nc
Elvain, for he Is no longer Colonel, another
man and myself rode miles to examine a
spot that is really romantic. At noon to-day
we met 8 persons with pack horses going
back. The father of one of the young men
had died, was the reason they gave for going
back.
The sickness among the emigrants has not
been half SO extensive as expected it would
be, judging from the number of graves on the
way. do not think we have seen more than
10 or Is graves.
| wish ] could give you fair description of
this country, for really think never saw
anything half so handsome of the country
kind. Sometimes we travel miles without
seeing tree or bush. The sight have seen
and expect to see will well pay me for the
trip. But to see SO many going back is enough
to frighten the tnerous. believe am not
one of that kind however, for am determined
to 20 on if live and can get through at all.
Such appears to be the spirit of our whole
company.
will now give you the names of those with
US from Upper Sandusky and vicinity. Capt.
A. McElyain, Col. A. Lyle, DR.. J. H. Drumm,
Mr.. J. s. Jones, Purdy and Swain McElvain
and w. T. Giles. We heard of Judge Chat
fee being at Kanzas, but heard nothing of
Capt. Caldwell since we left. At this time
we are all in good health but Col. A. Lyle,
who is about as when he left, think at least,
not any worse. OH almost forgot Buck is
with us.
We are now situated about 100 miles from
any place, with all out doors for a cooking
shop and very beautiful stream fora well.
The greater part of this letter has been
written by candle light.

Dear Editors;-I write you from this point
expecting to be able to send it to the States

We intended to leave ST. Joseph several

river and in consequence of the Ill health of
myself and one other in company, we remain
ed OH the bank where we encamped until the
25th inst, when we again started and came
several miles, broke an axle, put in new one
and came about 2 miles further same day.
The 26th inst. we made our first days travel
in the plains. We arrived at the Presbyterian
mission, 80 miles from St. Joseph. We ira.
veled l3 miles further for wood and water.
Myself and two others packed wood 9 miles
on horse back. Col. McElvain and | had
chase after wolf. The 9th, being Sunday,
we came about miles without breakfast in
consequence of scarcity Of wood. Colonel

spot, where we remained the balance of the
day. In the evening some Of the Iowa In.
dams came and took supper with US. Some
supposed they were sent as spies-became
alarmed and prepared for an attack. The
night passed over without any difficulty.
These Indians were to start the next day to
the pawnee country to revenge the death oi
