TIE MISSOURI ExoDUs.-The depopulation
ofthe northern and northwestern part ofMis
souri, is still going on to an alarming extent.
Hundreds Of families are now leaving those
sections to seek homes in Iowa, Illinois and
Indiana. A small party came through our
city, yesterday. en- route to the eastern part
Of Illinois, and sad state of affairs in Mis-
souri, they pictured to US. which their own
appearance fully endorses. The failure of
last years crops, the gloomy prospects of an
unfavorable spring, and the still more gloomy
future for free labor in the State, indicated
by the secession triumph of the late election,
has so disguised the white settlers that un-
heard of sacrifices are daily made by them to
obtain the means to leave for the free States.
The party above referred to are from Mercer
county, and they report long trains of wag-
