turning smigrants:
They were then in companies of hundreds; th.y
had family circles and looked happy they took quar-
tsrs the cabins of steamboats, ana partook of the
luxury Of reposs and Plentsous table. Thsy were
Thrifty looking emgrants who wsuld do honor to any

from Kansas to Jefferson City fsot having left the
Territory TO save their lives aud being afraid ap

gress should be intercepted they wore destitute
