New DAGUERREAN RooM.-Mr. r Rus
sell, formerly of Philadelphia, has removed
to our city for the purpose of establishing
and opening suite of rooms, and for the
time being, is located over Hyneman's
Clothing Store, on Third Street. Mr.. r.
brings with him all the latest improvements
in the art, together with splendid stock of
lockets, cases, &C.; and from the appear
ance of the specimens exhibited in his rooms,
we judge him to be fully competent to use
them in manner entirely satisfactory to
all who may favor him with a call. See
his card in another column.

INDEPENDENCE, June %.

INDEPENDENCE, June %.
The Salt Lake mail, under the charge Of
Hudspeth & JONES' bringing the mails of May
and June, arrived last night. The party had
no escort on their route from Salt Lake to
Laramie. Hoffman attended them to Fallen
Bluff, from which point Capt. Todd accom-
panied them to Fort Kearney. The delays
heretofore are to be attributed to the want of
an escort.
Indians were very numerous in and beyond
the Black Hills. They were very much alarmed
ut the movements of our troops, and desirous
of peace, and propose giving up the murderers
of the mail party last fall. The troops give
them no countenance.
The reports of 30 many persons being killed
by them, are all fabrications. About 400 Of
the troops had reached Fort Kearney, and
more were near by. Col. Cooke, with his
command, was thirty miles this side of that
place, on the LIST of June.
Emigrant trains were met at North Platte,
to the number of one hundred wagons. A few
were seen between that and Kearney, but many
more were met from that point to Fort Leav-
enworth.
In one of the Mormon trains the cholera had
taken off twenty-five or tuirty, and one-third
more were sick. Kinkheads first train was
met near Kearney.
Great excitement on the subject of gold
found on the Sweet Water, was manifested in
Salt Lake Valley, and numbers were leaving
daily for the diggings. BY next mail the re-
suit of their operations will be known, as the
bed of the river would soon be laid bare, aud
the hidden treasure exposed.
A good deal of anxiety is manifested here
about the gold discovered on the head-waters
of the Red River, in the territory of Arkansas
and many are awaiting the return Of r,essen-
gers to bundle up for that point.
We are in the midst of harvest; wheat
crops very good, and other grain quite prom
ising. Fruit likely to be abundant.

Steamboat Runners.

We sometime since called attention to
the fact that this nuisarce was being estab-
lished here. We are informed that three
young men have come up expressly to act
in this capacity, and have importuned a
number of captains to employ them. They
had better return whence they came, and if
they will not, there should be some City
Ordinance to stop their obtrusive operations.
They are a nuisance wherever they exercise
their calling they offend passengers, and
really work against the best interests of the
steamboats, which they profess to secure.
Stringent measures have been adopted in
every eastern city against this class Of run
ners, for the effects Of their action have
been severely felt Nobody wants them
here. We can do without them. There is
not such q huge gathering Of steamboats,
at any time to make it necessary to obtain
the services of one of these interested and
too often lying, peripatetic directories in or
der to secure passage.
If the City Council would but appoint a
police for the levee, to keep runners from
troubling travellers, and at the same time
keep watch on those who are overload of
stealing, it would be very well for the CON-
munity, and very acceptable action.

RELIGIOUS NOTICES:
City Scavenger.

At the meeting of the City Council, on
Tuesday evening last, proposition was
made by an individual to clean the streets,
cart off all dead animals, and remove all
offal from public houses and private dwell
ings. A compensation was demanded, and
this gave rise to debate which resulted in
suspending the final consideration of the
matter until the next meeting
We think that this is matter which our
citizens should at once take hold of. 1t is
an absolute necessity as sanitary measure
and all the influence which can be brought
to bear, should 60 towards its adoption and
authorization. The city needs the regula,
cleaning proposed, and especially at this
season of the year, it can hardly be ques
ton of small amount of money, which
should be permitted to stop that which
tends directly and practically to the main
tainance of the city's health. Quite enough
has been paid by the corporation for ex
penses growing out of disease contracted in
impure localities, and it is we'll worth con
sidering whether it would not be matter
of economy to put in practice the measure
proposed. Nothing, certainly, can be lost
by it, and if it is true that an ounce Of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure, we think
it but the proper duty of our City Fathers
to set up this as one safeguard of the city's
health.
If this proposition is accepted, as we hope
it will be, it will induce the necessity for
the passage of an ordinance requiring honse-
keepers to provide receptacles for offal, and
to place them where the City Scavengcr
may have ready access. 1t is the practice
in the eastern cities, and does admirably
We have no doubt that our citizens will
give their hearty appreciation to the measure
itself, and further its enforcement in every
way.

RIVER NEWS.

AS We learn that two steamers belonging
to the lower trade, the Elephant and Grand
Turk, were burnt to the waters edge, at New
Orleans, short time since. These were two
of the largest and best boats in that trade
We have received no particulars. .-.-..
a. The steamers York State, City Belle
and Dubuque arrived at this port during the
day yesterday. The York State was charter.
ed by the Excelsior to bring up her trip, and
the latter's officers, always favorites with the
st. Paul public, )are on board the former boat
this voyage She brought up large cargo,
nearly all of it consisting of government stores
for the forts above. We are much indebted
to Mr.. Owens for copy of her manifest, which
will be found under the proper head.
We learn from the officers of the York State
that the steamers Kentucky and Prairie State
were entirely consumed at Rock leland on the
morning of Sunday last. The Prairie State
had just been thoroughly repaired, and her
officers expected to place her in the trade in a
few days. The fire caught from the texas of
the Kentucky, where it had been kindled, as
the weather was quite cool that morning. The
Prairie State lay between the former boat and
the shore, so that it was impossible for her to
get out of the way Of the devouring element
and the flames spread so rapidly that in few
minutes both boats were entirely Destroyed
The Prairie State was owned by the St. Louis
and Keokuk Packet Company.
