FROM THE SALT LAKE.-The following is from
the st. Louis Union of the 29th ult
MIR. A. w. Babbitt, formerly of Illinois, has
lately arrived from the Salt Lake. To his kind
ness we are indebted for much valuable infoma-
ton IN relation TO the country Mr.. B. informs us
that the inhabitants of the Great Basin have formed
a provisional government which includes, in its
boundaries, the whole of California east of the
Sierra Nevada, and have elected all the necessary
otlcers Mr. b. is elected to represent the interests
OF TINS country in Congress- to which body he will
present the application of the people for an organi-
zatlon by act of Congress.
All persons having friends who have gone to
california will be relieved of their anxiety on be-
nall OF them, when they learn, through Mr.. Bah
blt, who is most reliable authority that the graves
with which, according to letters heretofore pub
hshed, it has been represented the whole route was
strewed, are in most cases, only the graves of the
surplus provisions, which, according TO the usual
custom of the mOuntaineers, have been buried.
Dr. White, of this city, buried his medicines in this
way. Mr.. Rabbits count of the wagons is much
larger than the estimates that have been made
they were conjectured to be little over 600
with four persons to a wagon, on an average. Mr.
Rabbit says that, on going and returning he passed
l5,OOO wagons, and he thinks about four to each
This would make about $1,000 persons. There
must be deducted from this, however 1000 or more
wagons for the government, which would make the
number OF emigrants about $1,000. Mr.. B. saws
the number of deaths has been small There were
some cases of cholera, mostly, however, among the
Indians.
