highest calculations and hopes of all those
who have felt any interest in the subject.
Hundreds Of wagons and thousands Of all

now either upon some previously selected
spot, to make home, or are making the
preliminary arrangements to do so. The
counties north and west Of this place, are
filling up rapidly with busy, industrious
population, and the throng whic! daily
crowds the land Office at this place, be-
speak them to be something more in purse
than the usual class Of pioneers. Many
ofthose new emigrants will buy out some

WESTERN MAIL.

We received few days since, the fol.
lowing communication from an intelligent
and enterprising citizen Of Black Hawk,
upon the subject ofthe want Of Mail faci-
lities in that county.
We would beg leave to call the atten-
tion of the Department renewedly to this
subject, and to press upon them the ne
cessity of extending routes, and multiply.
ing offices in this portion Of Iowa. The
rapidity with which emigrants are rush.
ing to this section Of the State, is beyond
all precedent. Where, one year ago, the
mantle Of solitude was spread over val
ley or plain, now there are large and ra-
pidly increasing settlements. The FACT
lies Of communication with their friends
are entirely wanting, and they properly
look to the Post-Office Department to sup
ply them. The route from Dubuque to
Quasqueton, should be extended immedl-
ately to the falls Of the Cedar, in Black
Hawk county, and as soon as springs O.
pens, on, in direct line west to the
Boone Fork Of the Des Moines

BLACK HAWK Co., Oct. "a, l849.
Door. HoLT-Dear Sir: Yours of Oct.
9th has been received with less delay
than is usual for letter mailed 10 our co.,
and | scarcely need say, that any assist
auce you may render. US in obtaining
mail route to the Falls Of Cedar, will be
gratefully ackno wledged by communi-
ty numbering between 80 and 40 families,
with fair prospect Of the number being
conslde rably increased before anything
can be accomplished.
About half Of our number obtain their
letters and papers from an Office in Bu-
chanan county, where they do their mill
ing, 80 to 40 miles dstant;-the balance
from Vinton Post Office, Benton co., 35
to as miles distant. And | am credbly
informed, that Notwithstanding our pres
ent inconvenient distance, we take over
half the maiIable matter that comes to
the Ninton office-which speaks we'll for
our community. The lack OF mail facili-
ties and mills has retarded our country
from settling. But we now have a saw
mill completed, and grist mill nearly
sol am in hopes it will be this fall. To
me our county appears to possess many
natural advantages. The Falls Of Cedar
afford as good water-power as any within
he State-at the head Of nav CATION
with fair proportion Of the
pest qualities Of timber, and as handsome
Ind fertile prairie as the sun ever shone
Upon; bearing evident marks OF being
healthy. Well may the State feel an
interest in our prosperity, since, by her
agent, Mr.. Morrison, she has selected the
greater part Of our choices: lands for
school purposes, which, doubt not, will
prove to be very wiss selection.
An effort was made to obtain Post or
ice here one year ago last spring, but fer
some cause, unknown to nc, it proved
ruthless, and there the matter has rested
aver since.
In conclusions, will say, that we are
nxous, one and all, that something
hould be done in our behalf in this mat
err. Yours, truly,
E G.. ADAMS.

OtrAt the recent election in N. York,
ticket was formed by the working men,
and the following doctrines put forth as
their declaration Of principles. These
doctrines, SO far as they enuncate gene
raj principles, are democratic through
out; and before forming separate orga-
nization for the election of men to carry
out these principles, the working men
ought to have known, Gf they did not
know, that all they believed and asked
for through separate OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
believed in and could be obtained through
the medium Of the Democratic party
This separate Organization Of The work
ingmen of New York was fatal error
one which, instead Of uniting, must have
divided and weakened their strength, by
throwing into two eparate organizations
having tns same ohject-the votes which
should have been united for the common
good, against The cornmon enemy. It will
be perceived, that some Of ,hoir positions
arc merely local, and not applicable as
general principles. With this exception,

THE EMIGRANTs.

A letter. in the Fort Des Moines Star
written BY . ci,izene f that place, and da'
ted Salt Lake, July 18th, says: eve are
ahead Of the main emigration, and have
experienced no Inconvenience for want
Of grass" but fears for those who are
behind.
or Salt Lake City. the writer says, cit
il handsome, pleasant, and healthy
place, surrounded by mountains, which
are beautiful and grand. ."There is more
money there than he ever saw in any
other place. Every body, men, women,
children, are loaded with money!" and
the Mormons pay the emigrants anything
they ask for what they have TO sell.
The sight Of SO much gold, in posses
sion Of the Mormons, affords stimulant
TO the weary traveller 10 push on to its
fountain, and reyiyes again the hopes and
desires which prompted him to forsake
his home and friends, and to commence
his toilsome journey.
But the end is not yet. The great ba,
sin is to be crossed, and the frozen heights
Of the Sierra Nevada to be scaled ere he
reaches the goal Of his hopes.
Some few, at the sacrifice Of every
thing but life, have pushed through, and
are looking with dread and anxiety for
tidings from those left in the mountains.
The following extract from cores
ponde nee Of the Journal Of Connie rec,
contains much truth: s.. aE
GAIL who can find spare breath from
business or railing at California, are dis.
cussing the horrible fate Of those hardy
spirits who came over the Plains from
Missouri. Some Of these men are now a.
mong us. They are easily recognized
by their tall and wasted forms, by their
appearance OF indurated muscle, by the
fixed AMI serious expression upon their
faces.-They have fled from pressing
Death for the last thousand miles over
herblessplains and precipitous mountains.
To save their lives, they have been obi
ged to leave their little property on the
road, and push by thousands oftheir coun-
,rymen. They were forced to live upon
that, the loss Of which must work the
death oftheir friends. They pushed on
BY forced marches. the have arrived
here, exhausted and depressed. While
they tell Of their sufferings in the Sierra
Nevada, they shake their heads, and in
tones, almost whisper, say that thous-
ards must perish for want Of food. When
asked if there is grass enough for half
the trains, the reply is almost invariably
--"God knows-but can't believe there
is." a .t.....
When compared with the 'suherings Of
this route, the storms Of Cape Horn, the
delays Of Panama and Mexico, are I'm.
worthy Of mention. One short month
hence, story will be sent 10 the Atlantic
States, which will sadden the multiplying
gaiety Of childhood,r draw tears from the
eyes Of all who love their fellow-men, and
crush the widows heart.
Surely the gold in California is not
enough to pay for this"

A DARK DAY.-sINGULAR PHENOMENON.
1.-THE sun rose in cloudness sky, tho
struggling through thi'k haze, the usu-
al accompaniment Of Indian Summer
Towards 10 o'clock the haze or smoke
increased in density, the sun disappeared,
and everything wore a sombre aspect
At 11a the darkness had so increased that
person could not see 10 read in we'll
lighted room; and thinking that Luna
had suddenly possessed the impudence to
stand before His Imperial Majesty, old
Sol, we searched our almanac for the re-
cord Of Solar eclipse, but in vain. At
a quarter before l2 the whole heavens
appeared as dark as midni ght, except to
the northwest, where, for the space Of 80
deg. in the horizon. extending to point
in the zenith, was the appearance OF a lu-
rid fame, casting dull golden tint upon
every object, AT IL the heavens bright
ened somewhat; but at quarter before
l the haze grew more dense; the outline
Of the bluffs Immediately in the rear Of
the town could no: be seen, and in a few
minutes more the darkness Of night over
spread the whole heavens, aud solemn
gloom alone was visible. Lights were
brought into requisition in every part Of
the village. This darkness was Of short
duration; slight fall Of rain succeeded,
the heavens cleared away, and by four
o'clock all was natural and straight again.
1.-The only explanation we are able to
suggest for this darkness in mid day, is
very rare atmosphere, together with
clouds Of smoke from The burning praires
resting upon us. A similar phenomena
we once before witnessed in New York,
we think in the fall of 1888"
