DorRIsn.--Nos. and a. 10 the short report OF
Wednesdays doings IN the Supreme Court which
we copy from the Washington LAioH, involved
this great Loco ooo principle. The Judges Of the
Supreme Court are all Democrats but one.
lMoLE.sJ and the decision IS unanimous
against Dorrism. That this humbug should die
out we all knew. but that the lat breath should
be knocked ont Of it by the Chief Justice who was
appointed by the great idol Of Loco-Focoism, was
the gnkindest cut Of all If there were any
principles which r. F. HALLrr & Co. loved, they
were Cas- and Dorr, and both are deiunct.

The Overland Emigraiion.

In the account of the expedition to Los
Angeles of the U. S. Dragons, which we
published yesterday, il is stated that the
rivers and brooks in the Great Valley are
so encrusted with saltpetre as to destroy all
vegetation, and fears are expressed that the
California emigrants going overland will
suffer much from the dearth of food for
themselves and mules. The numbers
who will leave the western borders this
summer are estimated at 10000 persons,
who take 1000 wagons and 10000 mules.
Ii all these parties pursue nearly the same
route, and follow in quick succession, a
Western paper estimates that they will
need a grazing field for every month equal
to 80 miles in one direction, by about
third of mile in another. AS long as the
emigrants can keep the river banks they
may calculate on tolerable good subsis-
tence for their mules and cattle. Their
great and formidable trials must be encoun-
tered in the dried plains of the Great Ba-
sin and In the mountain passes which con-
meet with it.-Those who leave the Wes-
tern borders on the lst of May expect to
reach the Sacramento in the middle of
October. The progress of these emigrants
will be watched with much anxiety by
their friends in this part of the world.

impulse bids fair to make it far surpass, iI
substantial prosperity, its palmiest days Of
Mormon pride. Only week since there
was an arrival at this city, of three hundred
citizens of France, who were seeking that
|repose in the quiet of our own well regu-
lated government, which they could not
enjoy amid the stormy and proscriptive
spirit which has so long agitated their own
country. This band of emigrants, struck
with the picturesque beauty of the place,
and impressed with the fertility of the sur
rounding country and the healthfulness of
the locality, have come to the conclusion
that no place can be better adapted to their
wants than Nauvoo. This company of
emigrants is headed by the distinguished
Capet, who is determined to make this
place nucleus for emigration. tits said

nuscleus of this emigration. There is no
reason why it should not rival in prosper
