THE CALIFoRSlA FMIGRAErs-B0ats in yester-
1ay from the Missouri river report that nearly all
Inc emigrauts at St Joseph Independence, and at
tber points along the river, have taken up the line
n march. AT St. Joseph very few were LETT, and
the town seemed almost deserted, compared TO its
previous lively appearance. Business as a matter
a course had fallen off greatly, and there was
sery little demand for several articles OF produce,
which preyious to their departure sold enormously
high; for instance corn was selling at 70 075c. per
bUshel oats flour and other articles In proportion.
Various rumors had reached st. Joseph that the
cholera had broken out among the emlgrants, but
they needed confirmation. The steamer Ell Paso,
bound for the Yellow Stone, lost three OF her pas
sengers before reaching st. Joseph. They are re-
ported to have died OF cholera.
