From tn, ST. Louis Union OF the 10th
From the Plains.

Last evening we had the pleasure of few mo-
menis' conversation with Mr.. William Bent and
party, who had Just arrived from Bent's Fort.
The party left tn. Fort on the l7th of March,
Mr.. B. inform, US that the grass on the plains is
better than he eyer knew II before, 1t this
of the year. lie apprehends no danger whatever
20 the California emigrants, from the Indians, but
thinks they must, owing to the large number of
them, suffer much from want of grass, water &C.,
before they each their destination.
Mr.. Bent and party brought in a large tram and
much property, bot so little was he apprehensive
of danger from the Indians, that he at no time
posted a sentinef. or tied up an animal. This
party first saw the column of California emigrants
at the Junction of Rents Fort and California roads,
some thirty-four miles from Independence there
were about Two hundred emigrants IN the body
first met. So far as travelling was concerned,
the emgrants were succeeding admirably, but the
cholera was making startling ravages along the
entire column. Mr.. Bent estimates the deaths at
from six to ten from each encampment, and some
messes breaking up and returning home. MIR.
Bent places no confidence the report circulated
by the Arkansas papers, 10 the effect that great
battle was lately fought between the Camanches
and detachments from several other tribes; and
suPposes that the report had lis origin in the fact
that the Arapahoe and Eutaw tribes. recently
fought and defeated the Apaches, killing some 80
or 40 and destroying about 40 lodges.
A detachment of u. S. Dragons lately had Two
engagements gear Taos, with the Eutaw and Ara
pahoes. in the first of which two Dragons and
eight Indians were killed; 10 the last some 10 or
90 Indians, the Dragons sustaining no loss.
Mr. Bent is accompanied by fine looking chief
named Waratorio, or Two Mountains, and his
wife and son. s.- G..
