“ To one who crossed the plains lint Rl—
aon, and witnessed the many evidences of:
diseuse and death then manifested all along
the way, it is highly gratifyingto write con
eerning tlte remarkably good health of the
emigration thin year. I have not yet heard
of n solitary case of cholera or diarrhm on
the route this year. Nor have the Indians
been its troubielome this year as usual, tho’
some cattle and horses were atnmpeded by
the Klws on the first part of tile route.—
Up to this date there have passed tt‘orth-ar
ney eight thounnd seven hundred 9nd [or
ty-sia men. two thousand and eighty eight
women, two thousand eight hundred and
ninety-two children, four thousand eight’
hundred and thirty-nine horses, one thousand I
eight hundred and twenty seven mules. nine—
ty-one thoueend four hundred and ninety-i
threo cattle, and eleven thousand head “fl
Ilteep. 0n the roade from SlJosvph andl
Independence there must be at least thirty
fire thousand head more of cattle, and titty,
tho-and head of Iht'ep. These matiattell
relate only tothe immigration lutrth of the"
Platte, and may be safely estimated as not]
exceeding one half the entire emigration,
and stock which are crossing the plainsthis‘
summer. .\9'l':tr mt I can judge, the emi-a
gration thigyenr will he considerably lust:
perhaps one-fourth, than that or last yt'tlt‘,‘
while the number of cattle and sheep trill bet
at land twice as great. Not sontany horse-I:

of the best kind. '
