CALIFORNIA ENG RANTS Reforming. Yesterday
morning, the steamer Kansas arrived from st.
Joseph. She had on board, as passengers, some
ten or twelve persons W no are just in from the en-
campmens Of the cmig,ants, now crossing the
Plains for Cali ornia. Some Of these persons went
as far as three hundred miles out. when, becoming
discouraged from the fatigue and hardships of the
journey, they gave up the trip, and are now on
their way back to their friends. Two or three are
from the vicinity Of Chicago; others reside in Ohio
and Kentucky, and they all agree that the under
taking was more than they could conveniently
stand They also give anything but hatterng
account of the health and harmony prevailing In
the different companies, and seem to think that
large numbers will be returning, before the main
body gets beyond Fort Laramie. These rumors,
however, are to be taken with some degree Of al
lowance, as the dissatisfied ones now coming back
may view matters in worse condition than really
exists. They all state that the sickness was not
as bad as when they first started, but their ac-
counts about the grass, water, &C., materially DIS
agree. Some say the former was fine and the lat
ter in great abundance; others that the horses and
mules were starving for the want Of both.-St.
