New-York daily tribune., 1851-07-31

We are glad to receive another letter,
says the OHIO state Journal, from Mr. GreineT, VINO
is vending the slow and tedious way to Santa re,
over the Plains from Fort Leavenworth IL Is SIN"
gular that none OF the Merchant trains should bs
troubled with the cholera and that the troops should
be the only sufferers. We are glad to learn, how
ever that this fearful scourge is disappearing, and
hope the passage Of the Arkansas River Will ehectu-
ally free them from its continuance.
