From the Plains.

On Monday last We we're called upon by
Mr.. VIM. Grfis late Of Logan county, Ill.
Hc left St. Joseph, Mo, on the 18th Of May
last, with pack mules, and came through
without difficulty. The Indians have not
been troublesome, and the health on the
Plains has been excellent Mr.. G. heard Of
only three deaths
The North Fork OF the Platte river has
been bridged, at place called Camp Davis,
where there is company of U. S. soldiers
stationed
Mr. G.. estimates that there are not less
than thirty thousand head of cattle on the
Plains He passed some five hundred wag-
ons, and informs us that quite large number
were still behind The emigration is larger
than it has been any year since ffty-two, and
is composed chiefly of farmers with their
families, who are coming to locate perma-
nently This latter is an excellent indication
of the future prosperity Of our State.
The bulk of the emigration is at this time
about the head of the Humboldt; and we
may therefore expect it to be "rolling in" in
a short time
Mr. G. met the returning emigrants from
this vicinity--the packers on Goose Creek,
and the wagon train at the head Of the Hum
boldt. All well, and getting along finely.
