The Emigration from Utah.

A correspondent: of the Boston Journal,
writing from Leavenworth, Kansas, July 26th,
mentions the arrival at that place Of an
emgrant train from Great Salt Lake City,
composing portion Of those whose depar-
ture has heretofore been noticed:
An emigrant train from Utah. consisting
of fifteen large wagons and one hundred per-
sons, has just arrived here. They left Great
Salt Lake upwards of sixty days ago, and
were compelled to travel slowly from the
heavy loads brought through by their teams.
The train is composed entirely Of families,
and its members propose to seek homes for
themselves in Kansas They left Utah on
account Of the tyranny and injustice of the
Brigham Young oligarchy. They were all
professors of the Mormon faith, but they
have seen quite as much as they wish to Of
its practical workings.
lconversed with several intelligent persons
in the train, including some natives of Mas.
oachusetts. They fou it impossible for
men of moderate means to prosper in Utah.
In addition to the heavy taxes imposed on
them, they were all compelled TO devote the
labors Of every tenth day to the church,
One of them stated that he had not spent a
week in Salt Lake before he was compelled
to pay t'hes.
There WAS great stampede from Utah
at the time of their departure. Nearly a
thousand people were ju. leaving the Terri
ritory. Four hundred of them started for
Oregon in single train, and several other
trains left for the States. 1t was with great
difficulty and some peril that they were able

LATER FROM CARSON MAssA-
GRE OF AN EMleRANT TRAIN BY THE INDI-
ANs.--The Sacramento Union has a tele-
graphic dispatch from PIacerviIIe, dated
August 3Oth, which states That intelligence
is brought by arriving emigran, trains, Of the
massacre Of u whole train, consisting of six
men and three hilren. One woman
was shot through and scalpe1, and left for
lead but was found still alive bv those who
came up first. Sc is not expected to live
She was brought in to Carson Valley by
Roundtrees train. The only names recol-
Iec'ed among the killed were those Of Hall
oway and his brother-in law. The children
were murdered before the faces Of their par
enls and horribly mntllated Tho emig ants
are talking OF forming parties for the exter-
minaton of these Indian fiends.

The Election.

Tie returns of the Election come in
slowly, but enough have already been re-.
ceived to show that Col. Weller is elected
by very large plurality, and perhaps a
maj ,rity of the entire vote cast. The bal
anre Of the State ticket will be elected bv
majorities larger than Weilcr's Walkups
vote will be the heaviest on the ticket
The falling off in the vote of different
connties is quite large-in Placer, so far as
heard from, it is fully one.third, coming
alike from the three parties. The vote in
this county at the Presidential election was
5Se6, but the returns for Governor indi-
cate that now it will rot exceed 1900.
There are several reasons for this decrease.
Democrats felt as if they had but weak
opposition, and many engaged in mining
upon the rivers were too busy in their
claims 10 go several miles to an election
Had the election been held later in the
season, when river operations are suspen-
ded, a much larger vote would have been
the result
The population Of Placer county is fully
as great as it was last fall-no one believes
there has been q falling of.
Throughout the State as far as heard from,
the vote falls far shcrt, and the proba-
bilitv is will not exceed $4,000.
The election Of the entire Democratic
State ticket, composed as it is Of honest
good men, is cause Of congratulation to all
who desire reformation in our State affairs.
The victory viii not only be joyfully hailed
here, but our bretheren in the Atlantic
States will Join with Us in the shout
California will not repudiate, the Treasury
will not be robbed. nor official corruption
longer 60 unpunished.
We have not the returns as yet to show
It. but from the gubernatorial vote have
no doubt in most of the counties the Dem.
ocrats have elected their legislative and
County tickets Next week we will be en-
abled to give our readers the result in a
manner more full and satisfactory.

Walker and the People of Kansas.

The following ,etter. says the Richmond
(Va) Enquirer, appeared in the New York
Herald some days ago. 1t will be seen
that Gov. Walker has won hundreds to the
cause Of popular sovereignty and just legs-
aion by his temperate but decided tone,
and able arguments in his speech at Pioa
Correspondence of the New York Herald]
Gov. Walker las the people of Kansas
with him. At Pola the other day, at
the land sales, he addressed a meeting
Pro-SIavery, Free State and Abolition
and was followed by an ultra Garrison
Gree y man, who raked up all the old diff
cuties opened up old wounds, and pro-
dured a heated excitement Of the moment
he exhibited more than his usual ability,
leaving Mr.. Foster, the Abolition speak
er literally not a plank to stand upon
The result was that out of thousan men
present, at least nine hundred and fifty de-
clared open and in the most enthusiastic
manner that they would cordially sustain
Gov. Walker. Wherever he goes, he is
received with the greatest kindness, and
and the people on all sides avow pur-
pose to sustain hin--and they will Sustain
him.
| see it repo ted that he is the repre-
sentative Of mere faction in the Ter
ritorv. Never was there a more direct mis-
representation. On the Sd inst. at Lecomp-
ton, q Congressional Convention WAS held.
1t was composed Of about twolhirds pro-
slavery and one-third free State Demo
crats. They nominated Ex-Gov. Ransom,
formerly of Michigan, for Congress. They
voted down-torty-two to one-a resolution
presented by Mr.. Jenkins, peging the
support of tie party TO t G Constitution
to be adopted even if it shall not be sub
mitted 70 the people. They cordially indols
ed Gov. Walker, and appointed y com
nittee inviting him, to add ess them, and
received him and his remarks with the
strongest demonstrations of applause. You
are wrong in acin., Doctor Slrinefclow
and Others in opposition to tie Terrior
ial government. They are cordially with
Governor Walker, and everywhere sustain
HIM, and SO does Col. Doniphan.

For A CoHvENTioN.-We believe the
Convention measure is defeated III the State,
as it is certain that very large vote was
cast without an expression upon that cues
ton Where such is the case Of course the
vote will be counted Against Convention
In this county the Democrats have polled
a large vote for Convention, but the Amer
lean and R publican tickets not having
printed upon them "For or Against Con
vention," that vote will mostly be counted
against the measure.
