FIRST ARRIVAL Across THE PLAINS FROM
THE STATES THIS SEAsoN.-Mr. Isaac Evans, OF
Illinois, reached our city on Monday, being the
first with or without "a train, that has reached us
from the Atlantic States across the Plains this
season. Mr. Evans left ST. Joseph, Mo, on the
20ih April last. with company of twelve men,
having four wagons aud twenty-five horses.
Their journey To the upper Platte was prosper
Gus, they meeting with trouble but that occa-
stoned by high waier and heavy falls of rain.
At the north fork OF the Platte they were obliged
tn swim their animals about twice the usual dis
lance. but succeeded in crossing safely. Com
ing mp the north fork of the Platte they had some
trouble with the Indians. who met them in ii
canon, and robbed them of snch articles as they
could conveniently lay hands upon. The H.
dams were about one hundred strong. and took
from the company their sugar and coffee. and
some other provisions, but there were no blood
she'd The streams were all fouud TO be very
high and the grass good until they reached The
head waters of the Humboldt where they fund
no grass or very little until they reached Carson
Valley. On Carson river they were met by a
great many traders waiting for the imm sraiion.
Mr.. E. reports that there is lnrge amount Of
stock ON the Plains cattle and sheen, but very
few emigranis. Mr.. E. reached here ON the
All inst, after laying by eleven days.--Stase
