We're entertained respecting the sugar crop, in
consequence Of the drouth In other sections,
however, the rains had been abundant and the Weld
OF agricultural products would be immense.
The Kingston Journal states that Lord Grew has
directed that emigration to ST. Kits should cease,
and that the supply Of Africans to Jamaica was to

that had been forwarded to Sierra Leone, that thew

those colonies which have made provision for the

From the Plains,

The Frontier Guardian of the 10Th ult, Nor
mon journal, gives the following from the Plait.s
On Friday, the 5th inst. the mail arrived at this
point from the Valley Of the Great Salt Lake, in
charge Of Elder Robert Campbell, who is on his
way as missionary TO his native land, Scotland,
accompanied by Elder John G. Angus.
From letters which we have received from cur
emigraung companies, who left this spring for the
Valley, and from the news brought by the mail the
tidlngs from the plains assume rather a dreary
aspect Sixly-four reported to have died out of
our emigrating camps;
About five hundred of those destined for the gold
regions, prior to the 2Sh ut had died of the cho-
lera. They met the first sickness at Scotts Bluffs,
about sixty miles this side Of Fort Laramie, and
they say that the graves along the road were too
near to serve for mile posts, besides many who
buried at camping places little off from the road.
Most of those who died, belonging to this section,
are said TO be children.
Notwithstanding the fatality of this dreadful
disease this season on the Palms, we have received
very cheering accounts from some Of the compa-
MES of Saints as TO health unity and good spirits
The news from the California emigrants going
the north side of the Platte, is good there has
scarcely any sickness or deaths occurred that we
can learn. Those who had started from this place
had nearly passed those going the south side of
the Platte. The teams We're in good condition.
The first teams have Jared the best. When the
mail passed the junction of the two roads, the trains
from the north and south side were mixing.

LAND PIRATEs,-It is disgrace 10 NewJersey
and its " broad seal, that part of It's population
should be allowed to live by the robbery of what
the elements have spared. More than thousand
people were 90 the beach on the day after the
wreck Of the brig Elizabeth, and more than one
half Of them were engaged in plundering.
The death Of Margaret Fuller recalls the affect.
ing finale Of Paul and Virginia. Countess ossioli,
like Virginia, was returning home to fond
friends after long absence in foreign chimes and
after escaping the dangers of the long passage, she
is drowned within sight of home. The timid
maiden, from a false modesty, refuses TO unrobe
herself, and calmly waits for death. The young
mother will not survive her child, and prefers to
bear it company. The fact is more poetic than the
fiction. AT the time that ST. Pierre wrote his novel,
there was no medium between the austerity of the
cloister, and the licentousness of the court Mod
esty was discarded in the last, and in the former
converted into prudery. By this theory only can
we account for this mistake in the author, who in
tends 10 sacrifice his victim TO sentiment of yir.

II is some twenty years since we shed cur boyish
tears over the fate of the unfortunate lovers. But
old age hardens the heart and freezes the currents
of sensibility. We read the true catastrophe,
beave sigh over the destruction of family, and
turn back TO the papers to gather items. On the
day that the Evening Papers announced the death
of Gen. Taylor, the newsboys were doing brisk
business, when we asked one Of them, 4" Why he
was in such good spirits-if he was not sorry Gen.
Taylor was dead ~ No" said he, e don't care
who dies, if it sells the papers !" He was only
precocious hoy-the battle of life too soon teaches
Us, that promotion is gained over the dead bodies
of our superiors-that out of the misfortunes of
others, grow up our own fortunes
