More about California Emigration
From numerous passengers who have
come up and down the Mississippi during
the past week or two, I'VE learn that at ev-
cry ferry from Dubuque to st Louis, en-
igration is pouring across the river to-
wards California in continual stream
The streets Of St. Louis are filled con-
stantly, it is said, with emigrants and their
wagons; while every boat going up the
Missouri river is no less crowded. The
whole country appears TO be moving
Even as far north Of the main line of tray.
el as we are situated, we have never seer
anything to compare with what is daily
passing under our own observation
The country on the Missouri is covered
and when the grass gets high enough
to subsist cattle and mules, (probably in
about two weeks then look out for .
scrambling for the road, at the three start.
ing points-Independence, st. Joseph.
and Council Bluffs; but moro especial,
at the former point.
We hear the number OF teams that will
probably start from western Missouri va.
riously estimated. Taking ten thousane
OK, and two thousand mule teams, as :
safe estimate, we will have about fort,
thousand cmigrants, with eighty Mousant
oren and ten thousand mules to subsist up
on the road. The locusts Of Egypt wer.
nothing in comparison We would advis.
some enterprising Yankee TO establish ex
tensive leather tanneries upon the route.

IIt will be remembered by..those who
were witnesses of the recent Presidential
canvass, that one Of the oit-repeated argu
ments in favor Of the election Of General
Taylor was his pacific tendencies. His
friends every where declared that he was
emphatically the peace man and that Gen.
Cass ought not receive the support of
those in United States who were opposed
to a belligerent spirit in our councils
Now how does the matter turn out? In his
inaugural address the General says nothing
mot a syllable, to gladden. the hearts ii
those professed peace worshipers. Neither
deos he say any thing for the great cause
Of Education cause which has done
more, and which is destined hereafter un-
der proper guidance to exert an influence
upon the prosperity Of the country gre alter
than all others. But although General
Taylor says nothing about these pacific
institutions, yet he does say something
about war and the institutions of the coun-
Try necessary to carry it on. In his Inaugural
he holds the following language: "ln re-
ference to the Army and Navy, lately
employed with $50 much distinction and ac-
tire service, care shailbe taken to secure the
highest condition Of efficiency, and in fur
therance Of that object, military and naval
schools, sustained by the liberality;of Con-
gre<s, shall receire the ESPECIAL atten-
tion Of the Erecutiw.
