Mr.. Stewart had requested Mr.. Coker to attend him

NEBRASKA AND KANSAS.

A HUNTING PARTY AND EscAMrNExr-Dr. Bascom
late editor of Tie Ohio STATE Journal is travelling
through Nebraska and Kansas, and is writing series Of
interesting letters to Tie Journal We clip the following
from one Of them:
Before we passed the Kansas came upon an encamp
ment that attracted attention 1t turned out to be grand
hunting company from the plains. Sir George Gore an
English Baronet has taken II into his head that it will be
hne ort buffalo, &c. on our great western plains
So he packed up his trunks, &c and started for regu
lar summer campaign He brought the most nagniice Mt
pack Of dogs that in this country. Be
tween forty aud fifty dogs mostly greyhounds and stag
hounds the most beautiful breeds compose this part of
the expedition. lie had large carriage and probably
dozen large wagons to transport provisions, &c. These
require fveyoke Of oxen TO each wagon These with the
horses, men, &c. made up quite imposing company
Sir George is fne-bult stout lighthared and resoute-
looking But there other things besides fun ia
such trip, and il will try the manner of stuff of which he
il made before lie returns.
Between Kansas and Westport We passed enc amp
ment Of 5000 Mormons who were on their way TO the
great Salt Lake They waiting for the balance Of
their company and had been encamped there for several
DAVIS They ere in fine forest. Some sleeping III
their wagons, but the most OF them had tents and the
woods and fields adjoining IN all directions were covered
teams. Men women and children scattered about
on all sides. Backsniihs hammers were heard, and the
hum Of preparation came up from al pafts OF the camp
II was singular sight aud fraught with many suggestions
and reflections upon this strange and deuded people.
These emgrans generally from Europe and the most
OF them do Lot speak word of English They have a
long Journey before them. The cholera is said TO be
among them but have heard many rumors OF this dis
ease the rivers Ac and have seen so little Of
IT, that have lost ali confidence in the truth Of these stories
FoURTH july IN KASsAs.-The citizens OF Kansas

parts may be planted freedom in Texas Those parts Of
