Innigzatisn at New Ysrk-Return Of Emil
grant1

grans
During the month Of April and May the
number Of emigrants who arrived at New
York was 50 677; for the same period last
year. s5,226-decrease this year as COM
pared with the arrivals during the same
period last year, 52,549. During the last
two months 1850 have returned to their old
homes in Europe, The causes of the di-
minuiion of the current Of emigration arc
thus stated BY the Herald:
ave have said that this is attributable to
the depression in business here, and the
feeling OF prejudice created against for
eigners BY the Know Nothing movement
throughout the country; but there is anoth-
ter vet which is more powerful than either
of these causes. 1t is to be found in the
improved condition of things in Ireland
and great demand which exists in tina,
country for labor. Since the sale of en-
numbered estates a revolution has taken
pIace there, and men are not only obtaining
employment, but are receiving much bet
ter wages than formerly. At one time they
were content to receive their daily food in
compensation Of their services, and many
could ret even obtain work on such terms;
but, so great has been the change, that able
bodied laborers have no difficulty in getting
twelve and fourteen dollars a week here
When these facts are considered, we shoule
cease to wonder At the great decrease in the
emigration, or that such large numbel
should return TO the lsnd Of their birth"

..a.lsss ana Indians.

The ST. Louis Democrat has letter rom
Wolf River, Kansas. announcing the arrival
Of Old Picott. famous mountainesr, frem
the Great Chief Mountains, three thousand
milss above ST.. Louis. The writer says:
"These mountains consist Of several
stupendous ranges, dividing the head aters
Of the Columbia and Missouri rivers and
Hudson Bay, and are covered with eternal
snows from FIVE to fifty feet in depth. As
the southern breexes reach them in the
spring, they yield, from imperceptible thaw-
inrs, sufficient water to fill the rivers from
their sources TO their mouths. From their
huge proportions and towering elevations,
they are STYLED the big Chief Mountains
Where Picott lives, il is only fifteen
minutes walk from the Missouri to the CO.
lumbia, 7s
The Blackfoot Indians occupy that coun.
try. They are wild and warlike, and are
constantly engaged in predatory excursions
against the Sioux and other bordering tribes.
They are great hunters, aud kill thousands
Of buffalo during the winter. Picott has
&C, 900 robes. He says the buffalo Of the
mountains differ from those of the plans;
that it is larger and more shaggy and zero
cious: that there is the excitement OF al
venturous daring in hunting them, and ne
who is successful must have bold heart,
deadly aim and mastery horsemansh'p
The multitude of these animals Is lncon.
ceiyable. More than a hundred thousand
are annually slain; a hundred thousand
more perish in the SHOWS and rivers, andyet
there is no apparent dminution in their
numbers. Some fifty or sixty thousand
robes will be brought down the Missouri
this spring.
As Picott came through the Sioux coun-
try, he found those tribes all talking about
the war which they were expecting to
have with the U. 8. They were moving
in large numbers down towards Laramie.
This confirms the report Of Mitchell, Rob-
idcux and Wiscamp, who came in few
DAYS since from the mountains beyond Fort
Laramie, and told me that they came upon
bands numbering some thousand warrlsrs,
at Ash Ho. low-the place of fear and dread
to the enigran.s. They were kindly treat
ed by them. In speaking of the anticipated
difficulty, they said tina, they desired rela-
tions Of amity to exist between them and
their great fathers at Washington, and that
their object in assembling was to effect a
treaty ofpeace if,hey could, or defend them
selves, ifthey must.
Col. Cook left Fort Leavenworth on the
18th inst. for Fort Laramie, with two de-
tachment.-one of infantry and one of cav
airy. He will reach Ash Hollow early
next month, and we shall get news of the
result by the 25th. We can but hopeit will
be treaty of enduring peace"
