FROM THE PLAINs.--Y yesterday evening we
had the pleasure Of shaking the hand of Cap
tain 5. Van Vliet, of the quartermaster's de-
partment, direct from Fort Laramie The
captain returns from long and arduous service
on the Plains
Captain Van Vlict left Fort Laramie Gil the 10th
of April, and, with his lady and cecort, made the
trip across tho Plains to Fort Leavenworth in scy-
entecn and half days. On the route they en-
countercd two very severe storms, which
greatly impsdcd their progress. At the O'Falon
Bluffs they met a war party of the Cayenncs, who
were going out to attack the Pawnecs. The cap
tain made them some presents of tobacco, and was
treated kindly by them
The first train of emigrants was met by the cap
tain's company the I'd of May, the crossing OF
the Little Blue; and, from that point until he mr.
rived at the frontier, he met them almost every
day. The main body Of the emigration was for
Salt Lake. He found, in all he passed, but two
companies for California. They were getting
along very well. The past season at Fort Laramie
had been more than usually dry, but little rain
having fallen during the winter or spring. The
report OF the Indians and traders at the fort was
that the snow in tho mountains was very heavy.
At ono period before he left the fort there had been
considerable rise in the river, but owing to the
succeeding cold weather, il suddenly subsidized. On
the Plains the grass short, but otherwise
abundant. The principal emigration across the
Plains this year will be the Mormon trains for the
Salt Lake, and few trims for California and
