WESTWARD, Hottie Quincy Rspublicaa
says that some idea of the immensely Of west.
ward emigration may be gained from the fact
that up to August LIST, of the present year. re-
cords kept at Nebrasks City, show that thirteen
thousand five hundred vehicles have passed
that place. averaging FIVE animals TO team,
and as many persons, all following the course
fempire. The Republican adds its opinion
that probably not less than three thousand
families, with their household goods, have
passed through Quincy into Missouri since
the first of last September
Our own city has witnessed good proper
ton of the moving tide. And we are glad
that many of those that have passed through
here have made their homes upon the inviting
prairies of our fair young State.
