Col. A. Raston, sent out by the relief
| committee at San Francisco, TO afford as
si>tance to the overland emigrants, had re-
turned. He reports from Sacramento
City, under date Sept. 6, that there are
10000 persons west Of the Great Salt
Lake and Bear River, en- route Tor the
mines. About one half of these emigrants
were deluded by false reports, and led TO
take a wrong road from Salt Lake, lead
ing around to the south of the Lake. The
distance by this road is greatly increased,
and desert about 80 miles long has to be
crossed.
Col. Ralston expresses the belief that
the provisions on their way to the desert
in the hands of traders, and the amount
lately sent forward by the active benevo-
lence of the citizens Of California, will be
sufficient to supply the emigrants.

them, broke up their villages and camps,
and made terrible slaughter among them
with guns and rifles.
