THE OVERLAND IMMIGRATIoY.


The copy OF The Ell Dorado .Neps, of Sat
urday last, contains an announcement of the
arrival at Placerville of the first companies
of the immigration by the plains this season.
The most forward party reached that place
on the l7th inst, making the trip from st.
Joseph in seventy-seven days. This party
came by the way of Sublette's cutoff, and
report having met two returning companies
Of Californians, who were in good health and
well advanced. The first division of these
homeward bound travellers was met near
Soda Springs. The second camp was en-
countered at the head of the Humboldt.
The California overland immigration is
'rolling on" 1t will scarcely exceed a
thousand souls, according to the representa-
tons of the advance guard. About two
thousand turned off on the Oregon road
There are few families on their way across
the Plains, the accounts of the suiferings of
the last years emigration having inundated
many.
The first company that arrived at Placer
vile was composed of the following persons.
They were party of packers.
Laporte, Ind. w. Kelley, C. C.
Crandell. w. Lemon, and John Hart.
Joliet, Ill--H. Carpenter, c. Carpenter
N. Flax.
On the 2lst, the second party Of immi-
grants ''packed in, . arriving al Ell Dorado in
good health, making the journey from Kanes-
vile, on the Missouri river, in seyenty-nne
days. They were not molestcd seriously by
the Indians along the route, their chief troub-
lie being from the scarcity of grass. For
about fortnights travel after leaving the
Missouri, they found grazing good, but about
two hundred miles this side of Fort Lara
ME, ii failed, and continued scarce during
the greater part ofthe way.
This company came via, the Salt Lake
country, and found the colony prosperous and
increasing. They rejoiced in the prospect
of full harvcSts, and received The emigrants
kindly.
/ We append the names ofthis company
They have suffered none from sickness along
the route, and report those behind making

taken at Bells Tent, Aqua Frio, and on en-
deavoring TO escape in the night, one them

A difficulty had occurred at Sonora be-
tween Mr.. William A. Ford, of New
York, (the owner of rich quartz vein, and

but was seen by police officer, who called
on him TO stop. Cardwell refusing, the Of

one Kaufman. from Galveston, Texas, who
was standing some fifty yards off, and killed
him instantly.
The trial of Charles Duane, alias Clutch
Charley" at San Francisco, has resulted in
his conviction for assault and battery with
intent to kill; he was sentenced TO imprison-
ment for one year, being the longest term al
lowed by the statute.

St. Louis HEMP Market.
Sr. Louis. Septembcr I'm. Is

ST. LOUIS, september l lth, 1891.
Dear Sir:-Our Hemp market has been
in rather languid state for week or ten
days, owing to the orders from the Ohio Riv-
er having fallen off; together with the fact
that spectators and shippers cast are not
buying so freely as they have done.
The receipts of Hemp at our port are still
on a tolerable liberal scalc-ranging from
1900 to 1000 bales per week. As the sea-
son advances however the amount must grad
ually decrease, as there can be no great guam
tity still remaining behind.
The stock of Hemp in store hereis about
$500 bales and the amount gradually increas-
es as the receipts are larger than the sales.
There have been about 1000 bales sold
this week at prices ranging from $3.50 to 500
only one small lot of 80 bales selling at 1893
Boston Hemp market, at latest dates, was
quiet for American at $ll5 TO $3.50. The
imports into that market for the year ending
August 3lst, 1851, have been as follows:

= JuDGE RYLAND's PoLIrIcs.-The Lex
ington Mo. } Chronicle says: In the cleo
ton of Supreme Judges we have one Wing,
and two anti-Benton men. We are aware
that Judge Ryland was placed on the Ben
ton ticket, and the St. Louis Union called
upon the faithful throughout the State 10 rail-
ly to his support as Benton man, and in
some localities he was voted for on that
ground, solely. Now, Judge Ryland is a
near neighbor of ours, and we "spcab by
the card' when we say he is not a Benton
man.
In the next issue of the Chronicle, after
the above announcement, we find the follow
ing letter from the Judge, which, while it
corrccts the editor, explains Itself

Letter from Col. Crittenden

handed TO the editors of the Crescent for
publication. We copy it from that paper:
SHIP OF WAR EsPERANzA,}
August l6.
Dear Lucien: In half an hour | with fifty
others, am TO be shot. View taken pris-
oners yesterday. We were in small boats
Gen. Lopez separated the belance of the
command from me. / had with me about
one hundred-was attacked by two battal-
ions ofinfantry and one company of horse
The odds was too great, and strange 10 tell,
was not furnished with single musket or
cartridge. Lopez did not get any artillery.
| have not the heart to write to any of my
family. If the truth ever comes out you
will find that did my duty, and have the
perfect confidence of every man with me-
We had retired from the field and were going
to sea, and were overtaken by the Spanish
steamer Habanero, and captured. Tell
Gen. Houston that his nephew got separa-
ted from me on the l3th-day of the fight
and that have not seen him since. He may
have struggled off and joined Lopez, who
advanced rapidly to the interior. My people,
however, were entirely surrounded on
every side. We saw that we had been de-
ceived grossly, and were making for the
United States when taken. During my
short sojourn in this island have not met a
single Patriot. We landed some forty or
fifty miles to the westward of this, and am
sure that in that part ofthe Island Lopez
has no friends. When | was attacked Lo-
PEE was only three miles of. If he had moi
been deceiving us as TO the state of things
he would fallen back with his force and made
fight, instead of which he marched on i'm
mediately to the interior. | am requested
, TO get you TO tell Mr.. Green, of the custom
house, that his brother shares my fate
Victor Ker is also with me, also Stanford
| recollect no others of your acquaintance a
present. Twill die like man. My hear
hiss not failed me yet, nor do | believe i
/ will. Communicate with my family.
, This is an incoherent letter, but the cir
cumstances must excuse it. My hands arr
swollen to double their thickness, resulting
from having them too tightly corded for tn,
last eighteen hours. Write to John and lie
him write to my mother. / am afraid tina
the news will break her heart. My hear
beats warmly towards her now.
Farewell. My loveto all my friends.
am sorry that die owing cent, but it i
{ inevitable.
Yours, strong in heart
