The Overland EMIGRATION.

The overland emigration to California, the
PRESENT. season, will, according to all accounts,
be immense, far surprising that of any of its
predecessors. The Western papers TEEN with
accounts of parties their way hither We
quote the following specimens. The Van
Buren, (Ark.) LnteAigencer, of the last of March,
says:
The number of strangers in our city, and
arriving daily, Indicate large emisrrtion over
the southern route TO California this spring
Many of citizens, as we'll as persons from
abroad. are collecting large herds of cattle
which they intend to drive to California. The
hustle and stir of business that animates our
workshops, show degree of preparation and
knowledge Of requirements for the trip. Many
OF those who are preparing for the journey are
experienced in overland travelling TO the land
OF gold, and inexperienced persons who accom-
pany them will feel assured of safe conduct
Van Buren, is situated near the head of emf
grafton, on the Arkansas River, in the midst of
the oldest settled and most populous part Of the
State. Emigrants leaving this point have one
great advantage over those starting from the
Missouri frontier in this. that the grass springs
earlier, by some two or three weeks, ON this
route. than it does on the Independence or nor
thern routes: and emigrants can proceed near
half their journey from this point before the emf
grafton starts from Independence and Weston.
1t is conceded fact, sustained by the reconno-
sance of officers of the army, as well as by emf
gracts, that wood, water and grass are more
abundant on this route than upon any other now
known. The country is generally level, and the
passes through the Rocky Mountains safer. easier
and shorter than the route through the Southern
Pass and the Salt Lake.
The Springfield Only Register of April 9TH,
contains the following:
For few days past our streets have been en-
hvened with California wagons from Ohio and
Indiana, and several originated here. 1t is
plainly perceivabe that there is this season. a
vast emigration to California and Oregon-prn-
cipally TO California. An impression seems to
prevail that there will be less emigration this
spring than last. This error proceeds from the
fact that the people have become so habtuated
TO the subject that trip to that country excites
no remark. The first we hear, nowadays is
that man is gone. Formerly the news was
proclaimed for months before the adventurer set
out.
We are sure that Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
will send many beyond the mountains this as
any previous year, and we hear of no falling off
in any quarter. The steamers, by the Isthmus
route, run full, and the starting points on the
Missouri are beginning even at this early day of
the season, to be crowded with emigrants
new feature in this movement westward is
seen this season. Hundreds of men who have
made fortunes in California, and returned he re
last fall, among those going out, most of them
taking fine trains of wagons cows mules and
horses in droves-neary all purchased with
money obtained at the mines.

From the Sacramento Union.


2 know your vale is very bright,
With birds and How'rs and flashing streams
And skies intensely filled with light
And melodies like poets dreams;
let, swiftly Ger the heart and eye
This beauty passes, but to thrill
The electric chain of memory,
That captive binds my thoughts and will.
One spot, alone, beneath the skies,
or pure, deep loveliness, | see;
One gem in earth's green bosom lies;
Whose light is all the world ts mel
My childhoods home-the rock ribb'd dell
The bllsstul stream that WANDERED there,
Whose sweet song, like Sabbath bell,
Seemd evermore the call to prayer.
l see the wood-dove come to drink.
And battle lis small feet in the SPRAY;
The partridge from the rock S dark brink
Looks down-then startled, whirrs away;
The sca-bird s form is on the sky;
And through the soft, thin atmosphere
Floats down It's wild and plainiive cry
Mournful, yet very sweet 10 hear.
Where human foot hath left no trace,
II Is the teaihery lark | see
Like mountain-chlef, III pride and grace,
1t waves It's emerald pumes TO me:
And upward from the rocks dark rift,
Where nought but vision dares TO rove,
Fair tufts OF golden blossoms lit
Their faces filled with dreams Of love-
see the waters flash and play
Around the lily breast OF snow:
The lily earih's pure Eden ray
The loyeliest thing that smiles below,
Oh, beautiful It's trusting head
To the caprlcious wave doth lean,
AS Faith, the angel, bends TO shed
Ger life's wild tide lis smile serene.
Then plead no more your land is fair;
Yet beauty is thing OF mind;
And mine must ever wander where
It's loves first tendrils are entwined;
Aye, plead no more when ye can take
Its lone sea-murmur from The shell,
Then, haply, may ye hope to break
This yearning spirits mourutul spell

HoS. Horace GREELY.-This gentleman was
40 years old Thursday the Sd inst, having been
born In 1911. He celebrated the anniversary
in this town, by holding court during the day,
in the third story Of the Swampscot House, and
by lecturing before our lyceum in the evening,
MIR. Greedy is native of Amherst in this State,
and like that town has grown prematurely old.
and declares he has seen his best DAYS.
The high reputation of Mr. Greedy has been
acquired from his pen, and not from any personal
or social qualities. In private life he is the
prince OF cowns-the embodiment of the ma
tional Jonathan. He lives in blissful ignorance
OF evory trick of style, costume, or custom and
in manner no one could show less regard for
himself, or greater Indifference to ANYBODY else.
His head, like that OF Socrates, as described by
7. Starr King, Is as round as apumpkin, and is
evidently kept for use, and not for ornament.
His eyes dead and inexpensive, and his
whole manner insufferably boorsh, and in pub
lie he affects very little of the Ciceronian air.
Ia Mr.. Greedy has been all his days hard and
untiring hobby rider, and has doubtless been so
from principle. although he found it profitable
occupation. He commenced his compositions
as a type setter, putting his ideas in type fresh
from his brain, without the trouble of commit
ting them to paper. This course compelled him
to select the best words first. if he would avoid
the Inconvenience of laborious corrections Of
proof. and soon enabled him to write with ease
and rapidly; and his compositions are now
characterized by that degree of vigor and
strength which has never been excelled by any
American Journalist. The Tribune, which is
known ~ reputation to every body in the
country old enough to read EMPLOYS a corps OF
ten EDITORS Oh whom MIR. Greedy is the main
pillar, Inc weekly Tribune has sc, 600 subscri-
6srs; and oetter Than all. no man can read il
until be has paid for it.-Es1e- Ness Letter.

Mr.. e. L. Barnard arrived in Sacramento Citv
on the 10th inst, Gom Great Salt Lake, with the
U. s. Mails, having left the 18th Of MAY We
take the following summary of news from the
Union
Mr.. B. has made remarkably quick triple
encountered but little difficulty aud reports the
snow as rapidly disappearing from the noun
tains.
The news is interesting, although of no vital
Importance.
Brigham Young, Governor of Utah, has issued
proclamation from the city Of Provo, ordering
the raising OF a company to put down a horde OF
Mexicans and other outlaws, who are iufesting
The settlements, and stirring up the Indians To
make expressions npon the inhabitants. The
party is authorized to arrest and keep in close
custody, every slrolling Mexican party they may
encounter.
The military of the Territory are instructed
to be III readiness to march to any given point
to which they may be directed
Governor Young left Great Salt Lake City on
the 2Oth April, for the purpose of visiting the
Indians located near the Southern settlements
The Governor was attended by Kimball and
| others high i'll authority.
The weather during the latter part of April
was mild. There was slight hail storm on the
18th. Peach trees, curranis and other shrub
berry In full bloom the 2 LIST, although one foot
oil snow tell during that day, yet 1t was SO warm
hat 1t mostly disappeared before sunset. The
cold weather did not materially injure the
crops
The general mastering of the troops of the
Nauvoo Legion, on the 9TH May, is spoken of
splendid affair. The Ne1cs says there was quite
contrast between the silver grays of so or 70,
and the boys Of 10 and IA, but all appeared to
vie with all which should do their duty best
The April mail from independence arrived on
The 9TH May. great portion of the mails from
November to April were LETT at Laramie, on &C.
count OF the scarcity OF horses and mules. From
the freezing and starving the past winter, there
could not be enough procured to bring the whole
mali, but arrangements were made for the trans
mission OF the remainder.
The Neirs Is down III leader on that portion
OF the saints who have been selling guns and
ammunition to the Indians. 1t is said that the
Bishop OF Granville has communicated such
from the Church, and the Neics says for the
credit OF the Bishop it hopes it is true, and If all
Bishops would do their duty, the brethren would
have the means OF defence, and not be obliged
to contend against the weapons they have sold.
| The NeUs further says, " that it is not its
| pleasure TO censure the Saints had much
rather bless them, and we do bless them all the
| time; but If any are so perfect they can be no
better, they have no business here and the
sooner they take up their abode in the spirit
| land, or some other convenient place, the better
| they are not tit to be citizens of Deseret. Re-
formation and improvement is the order of God s
| kingdom"

Coon FOR OLD DEMONSTRATING of the
rumors set afioat by some of the papers, that
Col. Benton would receive an appointment to
some important foreign mission, from the pre-
sent Administration, the Missouri Democrat says
that the veteran statesman is not to be bought
off so easily. He has other work cut out for his
position in the Lower House-a steep contract
which must be executed at all hazards. He has
also been spoken of as Speaker of the next
House Of Representatives, but this honor would
not be acceptable to him. The old Thunderer
has been too long floor member to think of
taking the chair at this late day. He will be
be heard the next session, I'd will make his
mark.
Speaking of bis intentions, the paper from
which we quote remarks: rre
Nobody need be concerned about Old Bull
hon being sent across the sea- He won't 60.
He has refused the mission to England more
than once, well as other high cabinet appoint
ments, rendered him under the administration
of Jackson and Van Buren,. He will accept no
Office unless appointed to it by the people of
Missouri, whom it lms been his highest ambi-
ton to serve during his long public career"
