From the Ear West.

We learn by Geographic accounts from st. Louis
to the 18th instant, that on that day Major Alexan
der and Mr.. Harvey arrived there from Fort Camel,
two thousand eight hundred miles up the Missouri.
They left on the I'd April, in skif, accompanied
by several others They found the rivers much
encountered by ice Below Fort Camel they were
fired upon by party of Assiaberees and Crow In
dams They passed the mouth of the Yellow river
on the 10th April That night it commenced snow
ing, and so continued until the 10Th.
At Horse Prairie, where they were encamped, a
party Of Sioux assailed them but they finally got
into their boats, and escaped. At Midirnel creek,
below Fort Pierre, they were joined by Mr.. Bran,
a trader, on the LIST inst. When at the Three
Islands, the boat was swamped, and Messrs. Foas-
SAINT, Roland, Oregon, Pierce, and Frenchman
named Trimble were drowned. The others rightcd
the skif and were saved
At the mouth Of Million river they overlook some
Mackin boats and came down TO Liberty in safe
ty. The steamer St. Paul arrived at Liberty the
day previous to their departure.
Government express had arrived from Fort
Kearney bringing intelligence of great suffering
among the California emigrants.
Between Fort Kearny and Fort Laramie a few
trains, including several hundred persons, had
persisted en- route between the two places, and the
survivors in a deplorable condition. Mules
and oxen were given out for the want of food.
Flour, meal, and bread of the emgrants were used
for the animals in hopes of keeping them alive I'M
til the latter fort could be reached.
The plains were destitute Of grass, and in many
places there not the least signs of vegetation.
Throughout the greater part of the route, animals
will be sacrificed The cmigrants suffer themselves
seriously for want of food.
At st. Joseph, ON the 10th, large numbers Of emil
grants were preparing TO go out with the Govern
ment escort, which would leave about the 18th OF
April for Fort Kearny.
Jerome and Hansons train is still cncamped nine
miles from st. Joseph, Halls train at Weston, and
the third train from the city has encamped at Kan
sas. st. Joseph and Weston filled with emf
gyants-the former being the principal rendezvous.
Many Of them are becoming sick and weary OF the
expedition. The st. Paul brought down sixty or
seventy determined to return.
The weather was moderating, and the trees were
beautifully in bloom.
general movement in the cause Of emigration
Is expected in the course Of fortnight.

Abuse OF America.

London correspondent of the New York Spirit

'The last novelty from the United States is a
Panorama illustrating 'the African and american
Slave Trade II will be news 20 John Bull, well

slave tradei But John is more easily gulled than
Jonathan; moreover, Jonathan would probably re
paint this canvas with rotten eggs il IL were UNI
rolled before him. The Rev. Mr.. Irwin and Lewis
bloom have selected the best market in the world for
their exhibition Of the American Slave Trade
They promise to show "a true picture Of slavery
from actual OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of negroes ship
ment-ocean passage-British chase-conhaqration
Of a saver--entrance into the Southern States en-
route TO the markets-auc tons-escapes into her

on the American character
IL not this shameful? A panorama 10 be exhibit
ed in every country village in England, asserting
that the United States Of America still engaged
in the African slave trade, though false in every
particular, will readily find believers among cred

a citizen Of England was to visit US, bringing with
him a series Of pictures which he asserted gave a
true view Of the social condition Of the operatives
there how few of us would be able 10 tell whether
his panorama was correct or not; and yet there ex-
lists here ten times much information respecting
great Britain, Of this country there. Hence this
fibelIous painting, which charges us with carrying
on the African slave trade, will every where re-
ceive credit in England, Even contradictions, in
the public newspapers, will be Of avail against
pictures which the spectators will regard az copied
from nature. We know not, indeed, how TO stig-
Matte this outrage in language sufficiently strong
One Of tho persons engaged in the speculation, II
appears, Is the Rev. Mr.. Irwin; but we cannot be-
lieve he has any real claims TO the clerical charac
ter; for certainly minister Of any church would
lend himself to such falsehood. II will be in vain

STYLE IN DREss.-The tendency Of the present
century has been all along toward simplicity in
dress. Men and women have been making APP
proaches toward simple and rational costume, far
removed as they still are from IL.
II is said that in 1907 clergyman by the name
Of wilkinson wrote a sermon on the following text
"Prov. xxi, 4--'she is like a merchants ship,
that bringeth her food from affair."" II contains
the following passage:
"But, of all qualities woman must not have one
qualtie OF ship, that is, too much rigging. OH
what wonder II il to see ship under sale with
her tackings and her masts, and her tops and her
topgalants, with her upper decks and her lower
decks and 30 bcdecked with her streamers, flags,
and ensigncs, and know not what; yea, but
world Of wonders Is 10 sec woman, created in
Gods image, 40 mscreahte oft-times and deformed
with her French, her Spanish, and her foolish fash
ions, that He that made her, when He looks upon
her, shall hardlie know her, with her plumes, her
flames, and silken wizard, with ruffe like sale,
yea, rufc like rainbow, with feather in her
cappe like flag in her top, 10 tell, ] think, which
wave the winde will blowe."

IowA.-The Davenport Gazette contains the fol-
lowing information respecting the projected inn
migration of large party Of English people to
that State:
"Mr. George sheppard, editor of the Eastern
Counties Herald, Hull, England, has been lectur-
ing for some months to perfect organization for
emgrating to the broad and fertile prairies Of
Iowa. Having made himself thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with all the facts desirable TO those wishing to
leave the old country, where the labor Of life
United States, where year or two Of active, fru-
gal industry will accomplish that desderatum, he
prepared TO give each querist the necessary
information, to lead him to unite in the organiza-
ton. Associated as comprehended by the plan of
Mr.. Sheppard, each cmigrant would reach Iowa at
an expense Of but Is. distinguishing feature Of
the '1owa Society" is that of sending out few Of
their number this spring to select location and
make preparations for the main body of the emf
grants in the fall, by tilng the land and erecting
suitable buildings for their reception.
"Mr. Sheppardy in lecture Mt Hull on the a5th
of March, stated that he preferred Iowa to any
other State, because il beautiful the most
beautiful parts of Wisconsin or Illinois its climate
quite healthy-if differing at all, being
more healthy; while glance at map must sat
isfy any one that Iowa was better watered, and
therefore better drained, naturally, than either of
the neighboring States. For his (the lecturer's)
part, be gave a decided preference TO Iowa over
Illinois Wisconsin; and, sooner later, the
State of Iowa would be his home He had found
the western people kind and hospitable; and they
did not suffer in his estimation because they never
lost sight Of the principle Of equality. They felt
that they were men, irrespective Of the possession
of wealth, and they would never allow rich man
to ride roughshod over them
about the first Of June Mr.. Sheppard and his
friends the of this association, will reach Da-
venport; and we trust that they will be pleased
with the people with the rich and fertile county

From the Rio Grande.

BY the steamship Yacht we have received papers
frown Brownsville to the Sd inst.
We learn from the Rio Grande Sentinei that the
indians continued their depredations in the valley
Of the Rio Grance.
Lieut.. Hudson, the brave young officer who was
wounded short time since while gallantly charg-
ing the enemy with party Of mounted infantry,
has since died of his wounds.
The Sentinel is rejoiced 10 find that some little
assistance in addition to the present vastly made
quate force, has been extended TO the settlers.
Capt. Ford, with company Of rangers, has taken
position at post known as "The Wells" between
Rio Grandc city and Laredo.
The Sentinel says IL is now established that there

The GRHAT INTERNATIONAL Fam IN LONDON
This gigantic project seems 10 be attracting atten-
ton throughout the world. So much has already
been said the subject that II Ia only necessary TO
say that the plan bids fair 10 realize the
guine expectations Of its projectors. The Prussan
government has appointed a commission for the
purpose Of making arrangements for the proper
representation OF Prussan industry on the occa-
sion. Austria, too, seems anxious TO show John
Bull what her artisans can accomplish and the
Emperor has already taken intiatory measures to-
wards sending deputation to London. France
Intends too, 70 respond to the call, and will doubt
less make more splendid display than any coun-
try the continent Of Europe. II is also stated
that India will be represented on the occasion.
We do not hear that any steps have yet been
taken in the United States by which the ingenuity
Of our people may be exhibited at this great fair.
II is quite time that our Mechanics Societies, In
stitutes, and other associations connected with the
arts, manufactures, and productions Of the country
should be moving in the natter Providence Jour.
