TaE EsueaArIoS.-wc learn from gentleman.
iust from ST. Joseph. that the emigration that has
passed through that place this season amounts to
at least 10000 persons. Including st. Joseph, In
dependence, Kansas, and those places, there has
passed over what is called the Missouri route, in
all. about 10000 persons. Our informant received
this estimate from reliable authority. We have
doubt il IL correct
II is his opinion, from conversation had with
many Of those at st Joseph, that at least onehalf
Of those who have started for California across the
plains are sorry they started on the journey.
Pride-fear Of the laugh and jeers OF acquaint-
ances-deters them from returning, or from even
expressing desire TO return. Thus they punish
themselves, and go ahead. Judging from the APP
pearancc of the crowd at St Joseph, our informant
thinks he would not like to GO across the PLANE in
their company There seems to be sort Of dcspe-
ration among many OF the crnigrants in conse-
qUence Of their disappointment and hcart-sickness,
which would render a trip, IN company with some of
them, rather unsafe. and not at all agreeable.
