Further from the Scnrch for Sir John
Frank!in.-Sir George Simpson returned
on Monday last. from h,s annual tour OF
inspection through the Hudson's Bay
Territories and North Western settle
ments of this continent. We learn with
regret from him, that no clue had been
obtained to the whereabouts, or the fate
of Sir John Franklin, John Ric harrison, is
on his way back from the frozen regions,
and may be expected in Montreal early
in September: His exploring party
will however; continue their search un-
der the orders of DR.. Rae of the Hudson
Bay Company, Sir Johns second in com
mand, throughout the summer. Although
It would be almost criminal 10 abandon
hope in such an enterprise, it is impossl-
bic to conceal from oneself the uawel-
come truth, that the chances to sue
ccssful issue become iear!ully diminished
by the lapse OF time.

bune says, that child of DR., Shaw, two
years Of age, died on Saturday last, after a
sickness of six hours, from eating cobalt,
which was prepared for flies.
One incident connected with her death,
says the Tribune, was aifectingly beautiful.
When her eyes began to grow DIM with
death, she evidently fancied it was night
and she was going to sleep, and she died
with her customary "good night, mamma,
many times repeated, trembling on her
lips.

THE EMIGEANTs ON THE PLAINS.
FIGHT WITH THE INDIANS.

The Fort Kearney correspondent OF the 81.
Louis (Mo.) Republican, of the 9th inst, under
date Of the 10th ult., gives the subJoined lnfor-
nation from the hordes of people, who are max
ing the overland journey to California:
Fiue thousand and ninety-two acagons, at sun
down last night, had moved past this place to-
wards the golden regions of California, and about
one thousand more, think, are still behind
The fever. however, i'll many cases, has COM
pletely subsidized, and in others a few more doses
of rain will put them i'll a fair way OF recovery.
A few are daily turning back, and many more
would follow salt did they not stand in fear of
the ridicule that is most sure to await them up
on reaching home
Reports have Just arrived here that party of
Pawnees are molesting Struggling emierants on
the ST. Joseph road, and Major Clinton and Lieut.
Ogle, with company Of Dragons, leave this
evening to hunt them up. Many cases OF re-
ported Indian outrages can easily be traced to
other sources for all are not angels that are bound
for the Pacific. Scarcely a day passes that some
poor fellow is not tumbed out upon the prairies
bag and baggage, to shift for himself. The en-
igrants have suffered much from the cholera
and understand the different roads are studded
with Graves from the frontiers to within eighty,
or hundred miles Of this place, when all dis
ease appears to be left behind
The same correspondent makes mention OF
fight 80 miles from there, of Ohio emigrants with
some go Pawnee Indians, in which, it is sad
FIVE Indians were killed and six wounded, with
two whites also slightly hurt-the affair growing
out of the Indians stealing their cattle

OBITUARY.
COMMUNICATED FOR THE y1SDIeAro.

COMMUNICATED FOR THE YNDeAroR.
DIED, at Cincinnati (Ohio) on the 18th day
of June last, Mrs SALLY A. Mills, wife of the
Rev. Thornton A. Mills in the thirty-third year
of her age. The deceased was daughter of
Judge Menzies of Boone county; KY, and the
grand daughter of Michael CARRIER, deceased, of
this place. AT different periods OF her life she
had spent a good deal of her time among her re-
lations and friends in Staunton, and had greatly
endeared herselfto them by the frankness, Vi
yacity and benevolence of her character. Whilst
these excellent qualities never forsook her. she
added to them, a few years before her DEATH the
graces Of the humble and consistent christian
And though the recollection OF her noble and at
tractve nature can but make her loss more
sensiblv felt, much consolation is afforded by the
fact, that the virtues Of a well-spent life shed
their beautiful radiance around its closing scenes
and dispelled all the dark and gloomy doubts
which are incident TO human frailty in its last
moments of trial. With a truly characteristic
unselGshness such solemn moments as these she
gave to lively concern for the spiritual welfare
of the friends she left behind her, and to such
admonitions as would win them to the paths of
virtue and religion. Thus she passed away in
the prime of life and in the midst of her useful
ness--a bright example to those who would en-
sure the applause even of this world, by deserv-
ing better.
