INDEPENDENCE. - The Plains. = Last evening,
says the st. Louis Union of the 2lst we had the
pleasure of a few moments conversation with Capt.
James Kirker, the experienced mountaineer. We
learn from the captain that the roads between here
and Independence, well as beyond that point, as
far persons have traversed them are in a condi-
lion almost unprecedenty bad Not one of the
several parties which left here some of them thirty
odd days since, designing to make the entire trip
by land, had reached Independence when the cap
tain left there on Monday week last, and it il his
opinion that the animals belonging to the parties,
will sustain greater amount of suffering and in
jury between this and their final starting point,
than will fall to their lots for the remainder of the
trip to California. So bad are the roads, and even
the streets of Independence, that the party of which
the captain was member, broke the tongues of
two of their wagons and pair of hounds while
passing through that town.
From the fact that the grass on the plains is
never very nutritious, and always acts upon the
animals as strong purgatve, it is the impression
of the captain that it will not be advisable for par
prior to the first of May, yet some talking of
starting from the vicinity Of Independence about
the 18th proI
The market at Independence is well supplied
with every necessary article for the trip, except
perhaps, rifle powder, which is selling at 81 per
canister, while it may be had in this city for fifty
cents.
There are at the present time for sale in the
neighborhood of Independence, fifteen hundred
head of mules, with d large number of oxen the
former command from S55 to $50 per head the lat
ter from $40 to S45. Boarding and lodging ranges
from 81 so to IS per week.

"H. B."-Mr. Henri Bernstein, for year past
one Of the Paris correspondents of the N. Y Tri-
bune, and during Won Eichthals life correspon-
dent of the Deutsche Schnellpost of New York, we
learn from the Tribune sailed from Havre on the
18th of January, in the American ship Espindola,
Capt. Barstow, for New Orleans. Mr.. Bernstein
comes out on mission connected with the subject
ofemigration and colonization, and will probably
arrive in this country. in a few days. From New
Orleans he will ascend the valley of the Misss.
sppi, visiting all the borders of the Far West, and
perhaps extending his journey to Oregon, return
ing by way of the lakes to New York, where his
route will terminate. He intends giving the re-
suits of his observation and experience with the
adventures of his trip, in volume which will ap-
pear from the celebrated publisher in Stuttgart.

From THE UrpER MIssoURI.-The Frontier
Guardian, is a paper published semi.monthly at
" kanesville," in Iowa, on the Missouri river,
near Council Bluffs in lat 400. Kanesville is the
same the Mormons winter Quarters and
the journal is a Mormon paper
The winter in that region, the ST. Louis Organ
learns from The Guardian, has been very severe !;
and nearly four feet of snow has fallen. Up to
February 18th. there had been thirty one days on
which the mercury had fallen to or below zero
On the llh of December il fell to twenty degrees
below zero; and was repeatedly down to from
eight to fourteen Good sleighing lasted for three
months. Late last month, the snow was two feet
deep level. The Guardian of the 2lst ult.
gives the following:
Some hunters have just come down from Fort
Vermiiion, about one hundred and fifty miles
from here, and they report the snow much deeper
there than here They say that many Indians in
that region are In state of starvation on account
of the very deep snow preventing them from get
ting out to hunt and kill game. Vague reports
from the mountains say that the snow is beyond
all calculation. The Omahas have lost nearly if
not quite all their horses They are in great pri-
walton and suffering, and have been obliged to kill
their dogs for food.
1t is apprehended that the weather at the Salt
Lake-from the superior elevation of its site-has
been hard upon the settlers in that vicinity, and
compelled them to consume their surplus stock of
grain.

90 The West Tennessee Wing tells yarn upon
a farmer in that part of the State, who, to make
speculation put large stone in of his hogsheads
of tobacco aud forwarded it to his commission mer-
chant at New Orleans, directing the merchant there
to send him barrel OF sugar. BY accident or 9TH
erwise, the stone was discovered. The merchant
took the stone from the tobacco and put it into the
barrel Of sugar, before he weighed it the head
then put on, and the barrel, in course of time
sent to the tobacco man, without word being said
about the stone But it was found before ths sugar
more than half used up. Thus he got four
cents for the stone, and had pay at the rate of
eight cents per pound for it. This is a fact
