BY the following, from the Galena Ad-
vertiser OF last Saturday, it will be seen
an amicablc arrangement has been maze
between the Galcna and Keokuk packets,
IL rcSaId to carrying the river mail We,
and the whole upper country, are glad of
it:
We understand that Mcclure g. Co.,
proprietors OF the Keokuk packets. have
made arrangements for carrying the mails
between It. Louis and Galcra, with the
Galena boats, and that they are to COM
mcnce the service at once. The follow
ing commanders have been consulted and
agree 10 the proposition:
Minnesota, Glenn, leaves St. Louis
Monday. Brunette. Burger. leaves St.
Louis Tuesday. Golden Era, Bcrsie.
leaves st. Ious Friday. Saranac, Riley.
leaves st. Louis Saturday.
Further arrangements will probably be
made for Wednesday ana Thursday, as
follows:
Shenandoah, -, leaves St. Louis
Wednesday. Danube, Green, leaves St.
Louis Thursday.
So the arrangement is completed at
last. in manner very similar to that
which we have suggested from time to
time, for some months past. The Keo-
ku'i Packet Comprny'> boats will no long
cr appear at our Levcc, but we have Sc
cured all the advantages that would have
accrued, had they done so.

FRoM THE BLurrs-EMlGRAxrs Re-
TURNING, &c.-The Delaware returned
last evening from Council! Bluffs, having
performed the tripto that point and back
taking upwards OF 600 tuns Of freight
in thirteen DAYS and half. She reached
the Bluffs Oh the 26th, and few hours
after the Honduras landed. AMI the day
following the two boats discharged ] 100
barrels of -four and o;her provisions
nee led, in like quantities. into the town
and glutted the market. Flour, which
had been the day previous selling at So
and 81 per hundred, declined TO 81 and
SIS per DBL. and the general impression
was, it would 60 down to So. The cap
lain of the Honduras, who had Il consiI-
cradle quantity Oh bis own account, stored
it, and returned in company with the
Delaware. Kanesville. from all accounts,
is yet throngcd with Iormans, the Cali
fornian and Oregon cmigrants having
nearly all left.
Painful rumors Of sickness among the
emigrants OF the plains, have recently
reached Kanesvillc and points below.
The cholera. it is sail, or a disease re-
scin5I.ng it. has played havoc with some
OF the trains, and the Indians are very
troublesome. Several skirmishes have
taken place between them and the emf
grants, near the frontier, and killed and
wounded are reported on both sides.
These rumors, we have reason to be-
lieve and hope, are in great degree I'M
founded.
Among the passengers on the Della
ware was Mr.. Thomas and another gen.
tleman, returning Californians, after
reaching Blue river, some one hundred
and fifty miles from St. Joseph. They
give as reasons for their return, the APP
pearance of cholera among the emigrants
and the evident difficulties they would
have TO encounter, not only incident tt
the trips, but from the Indians. They
bring their stock with them. Others
will follow their example. The Della
