- GoING WEsTwARD.-Thirty five. families, prin-
cipally Germans left this city this morning,
bound for Omaha, Nebraska Territory. One of
the company is gunsmith, and he takes along
with him ten boxes of rifles, for the purpose Of
commencing his business in that new country.
Should the Missourians venture to pry too in
quisitively into the affairs of this company,
while ascending the Missouri river, they may
get themselves into trouble.
y After taking survey of the land, these CO.
lumbus boys may take notion to go over into
Kansas, and if they do they viii most likely go.
