From the Frontier Guardian
Arrival Of the Mail from The Valley.

On Friday, the 5th of July, 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 a missionary
TO his native land, Scotland, accom-
panied by Elder John o. Angus.
The following named brethren
have also arrived and destined for
England on missions: Isaac C.
Haight, captain of the company;
VIM. Burton, Appleton NJ. Harmon,
Jesse w. Crosby, James Works,
Claudius V. Spencer and Moses
Clawson. Mr.. Clawson left the
company at the Upper Platte Ferry,
and came in two days ahead of the
mail. He states that on the 18th
June, 10 miles below the Lower
Ford OF the South Fork Of the Platte,
Captain Daniel Davis was seized
with the Cholera at 2 O'Clock A. M.
and died at | o'clock P. NJ, the same
day, after suffering considerable ago.
ny, although the greatest care and
attention was paid him during his
sickness.
From letters which we have re-
ceived from our emigrating compa-
nies who left this spring for the Val
ley, and from the news brought by
the mail, the tidings from the Plains
assume rather dreary aspect. Six.
ty-two are reported TO have died out
Of our emigrating camps.
About 500 of those destined for
the gold regions, prior to the 2Sth
June, had died of the cholera. They
met the first sickness at Scott't Bluffs,
about 60 miles this side of Fort La
ramie, and they say that the graves
along the road were too near to serve
for mile posts beside many who
were buried at camping places lit.
tie 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
Plains, we have received very cheer
ing accounts from some Of the com
panles Of Saints as TO health, unity
and good spirits.
The news from the California emf
grants going the north side of the
Platte is good; there has scarcely any
sickness or deaths occurred that we
can learn. Those who started from
this place had nearly passed those
going on the south side Of the Platte.
The teams were in good condition.
The first teams ht Jared the best.
When the mail passed the junction
of the two roads the trains from the
north and south side were mixing.
The first emigrants were met on
the 18th day of May about twenty
miles from the South Pass, and were
somewhat short of provisions. 1T
cannot be expected that our friends
in Salt Lake can supply them with
provisions, but they will do the best
they can. Nevertheless, many of
the emigrants must suffer for want Of
breadstuffs.

A telegraphic despatch from Bur
lingtoa, Iowa, was received in Wash
ington yesterday, by Senator A. C.
Dodge, announcing the death, on
the day previous, OF his brother-in-
law, Governor Clark, Of Iowa. 1t
was only few days since that a
despatch was received announcing
the death of his wife, Mrs. Christiana
II. Clark, daughter OF Senator Hen
ry Dodgel and her little son, by cho-
lera. Subsequently we published
the decease, by the same unreIenting
of the two beloved friends
who watched her death-bed.
Gov. Clark was a native of West
moreland county, Pennsylvania
He was practical printer, and emf
grated 10 Iowa in 1886. Previous to
the admission Of Iowa into the Union,
he filled the offices of secretary and
governor of the territory with great
credit 10 himself and to the satislac-
ton Of the people. At the time of
his decease he was conducting the
