CALIFORNIA OVERLAND EMIGRANTs -
The St. Louis News says that the last boats
down from Weston and St. Joseph report
the country in the vicinity of both points
literally alive with emigrants. st. Joseph,
as for several seasons past. is the prinoi.
pal rendezvous. and there tha encampment
extends Tor five and six miles on the prai-
ries. A very large number will start from
Lexington. Kasas. Weston and Council
Bluffs. and the entire emigration now on
the Upper Missouri and waiting to launch
out in the wide p%rairies. is v~ariously osti.
mated at from FIFTEEN to TWENTY THOU.
SAND. The highest estimate we deem too
low. as it is admitted on all sides that tho
number this season is much larger than
any since the first discovery of the gold.
One or two trains left St. Joseph a short
time since, and proceeded rs 10 100 miles
on their journey; but finding no grass, and
the weather continuing cold, they were
compelled to return. This movement ser.
we'd as a caution to the rest, and the ma.
jority seemed disposed to wait patiently
for mild weather and q suficiency Of grass
to make the journey safe at least. Pro.
visions are said to be plentiful at all the
principal starting points. and stock in
abundance, but tolerably high. No. 1
oxen in the vicinity Of ST. Joseph sell from
$50 to $50 per yoke. and mules Of the
best class at $ 100 to S125 per head. Very
good stock, however. can be had At lower
rates. The general health of the entire
emigration this season has been remarka.
bly, good.,&o contagion or epidemics ap.
psaring; I'D if nothing happens. a stimuli.
taneous start will be made from nearly all
the principal points of rendezvous, on or
about the 18th Of the present month.

At seventeen minutes past eleven Henry Clay
oreathcd his last, at the National Hotel. Ho had
been for three days past so low to be scarcely
able to converse with his pastor, DR.. Butler;
but no further visible change observed in his
condition until few moments before death. except
that he had suffered from cold sweat during the
night. His physician, DR.. Hall, was then hastily
sent for but before his arrival Mr. Clay had breath
ed his last. No present at the time, ex-
'cept his son, Thomas Hart Clay and Gov Jones, of
Tennessee.
His last moments were calm and quiet, and he
seemed IN full possession of all his faculties, sppa.
rently suffering but little. lie did not speak for
several hours before death; but his counteuance
indicated happy resignation, and full knowledge of
his condition.
He had long since made every preparation for
death-givng his iul instructions as to the dis
position of his body and the settlement of his
worldly affairs.

Mr.. CLAY'S DEATH
svvcsss oo~RSsrorDrNcE HERALD.
WASHINGTON, June 29-lO p. n.
Henry Clay breathed his last to day, at seven.
rseen minutes past eleven O'clock at his rooms in
the National Hotel
His eldest son. Thomas Hart Clay, and Governor
Jones, of Tennessee, the only persons present
at the time.
Mr.. Clay has been rapidly sinking for some days
,pas-stiil, the very approach of his death was
not anticipated, and consequently his physician
dr. HalD, As also Mr.. and Mrs. Calvert, of the
National, whose attentions have been unremittiny.
did not happen to be in the Mt tho time of his
death.
Mr. Clay had long beon aware that he could not
recover. but not murmer was ever heard to GROSS
his lips beyond the regret he felt at the trouble he
supposed he gave his friends.
His misd retained its clearness to the last, but
his body was SO wasted that he lay for weeks as
helpless as an infant.
His expeotoraton was so profuse weeks before his
-aeath, that it was feared, when he had no longer
the power Of throwing off the phegm, that he would
sufooats Fortunately this danger was averted by
'his ceasing to expectorate several days ago He
has, consequently, suffered no pain.
Large dsses Of opium administered to him
during tho week. Occasionally, whom he woke
rom seep, the effect of the narcotic was perceptbe
for some minutes. He would sometimes imagine
himself in the Senate; again, surrounded by his
family, or talking to some friend who had long since
preceded him to the spirit land But his brazil soon
threw of tho influence, and his thoughts flowed as
ever.
HE son made him aware Of the result Of tho Whig
Convention, but he appeared to take little interest
In it.
His last words this morning, addressed to his son,
were, " am dying-I am going" His spirit fed,
and all was still.''
His death was calm and peaceful as an infants
sleep.
During his illness he has been attended by Rev.
Dr. Butler. Of Trinity church, Episoopal) and par
Sook Of tho sacrament several times.
His body is wasted away to q mere shadow-in
fact. life olung to him apparently whilst there
a remnant Of his former self left. 1t is wonderful
how he survived as long rs he did.
His family have requested, upon several occasions,
Qermiesion to come on here and attend him. He
would not, however, consent that any one but his
eldest son should be here.
The announcement OF his death will bc m ade to-
morrow in the Senate and House.
The funeral ceremonies will probably take place
on Thursday, Immediately after which his remains
will be takcn to Lexington, Kentucky, by his re-
quest.
The arrangements as to the coffin, inscription, &c.,
are not yet made, and probably will not be till Con-
gress appoints the committee.
The body lies in the room where he died, but no
rerson is as yet permitted to see it. x
