An extract from letter to one Of the
editors of the New York Observer, from
Rev. D. Prime, under date Of Rome, 26th
March, says:
"It is impossible for me convey 10 you any idea
OF the shock which we have all received, and Of the
gloom which has been spread over the entire circle
Of Americans here, by the sudden death Of Mrs.
Cass, wife Of the Hon. Lewis Cass, Jr., American
Minister to Rome, and daughter Of N. Ludum, ESQ.,,
Of New York, who has been cut off in the bloom and
beauty OF her youth. The affecting circumstances
attending her death, and especially its overwhelming
sudenness, have added great severity to the stroke,
and while it has brought desolation into than
one household, the whole family Of Americans now
here, and which is very numerous, feel tina, they
have a common share Of sorrow which it has produ.
ced.
She had been enjoying her usual good health with
out interruption until Sabbath evening, the Alb init,
when she retired to rest, sending the time
her parents, by her maid servant, good night,
with the assurance that she was very WELL Shortly
after Mr. Cass, who was in the next room, hearing
slight noise, went her bedside and she simply said
Il want-I want and could utter no more. Her pa.
rents were instantly summoned, and reached her only
to her breathe her last, which she did with her
eyes closed, and as peacefully as il she had been
sleeping.'

1t is estimated by competent Judges that
the accession to the population of our Ter
ritory oy the river steamers, since the open
ing Of navigation, should not be placed Tn
der seven thousand. The Galena and
Minnesota Packets have alone brought over
I've thousand TO this, and ports below us.
Other boats have, at the lewest estimate
brought two thousand more. To these
numbers must be added at least one thou.
sand, who have reached the Territory by
over land routes, bringing with them fami-
lies, teams, and utensils, with which to COM
mence farming operations. The grand to-
tai then, Of immigration this season to this
date, is eight thousand souls Minnesota,
at this rate eclipses California. And the
strangers coming amongst US are of pre-
cisely the right stripe. You see few Of
those who look through the keen, restless
eyes, which mark the mere SPECTATOR; few
er still of the class which throws its "whole
intellect" into the cultivation of mustach-
los, and contempates with rapt admiration
the fit Of Jennings shortest waist and long
est tail; but the great majorityof the thous-
ands are hard-fsted, broad-chested, open
faced Eastern and Middle States farmers
whose burden of inquiry is about the soil,
and who look as if they intended to be at
work on it the day after they selected
claim, or entered it. These are the people
we want here. There is room enough for
quarter of million of then,---a number
which, judging from present indications,
We shall not be many years waiting for
