the many mammoth companies forming
when we left the States, who were founder

then qnite prevalent that it would be unsafe
to set out on the perilous, ami, 1 may add,
arduous task of crossing the plains, unless
in large bodies. Experience, tht lamp that

We left St. Joseph early in June. It was
a beautiful day. Ueneath the brilliant and
cloudless sky, all nature seemed to wear a
countenance of cheerfulness, and the re
splen lant rays of a morning sun made the
large drops of dew, that hung from each leaf
a :d twig, sparkle like a thousand diamonds.
Tii clouds of dapple gray, that in the east
first denote the approach of morning, bad
no sooner faded away, than the grccu trees
snng their song in the notes of the feath
ered tribe that everywhere filled their bran
ches. All turned to take a parting look at
the last white settlement that we should see
before reaching the end of our journey. !
mere it calmly lay, as if asleep, with its
eat white houses shining oat from the dark
green foliage, while the diversified face of
nature, in hill, valley, and plain, rendered
the view extremely beautiful. It seemed
to dieapoear behind, ue upon tbe verge of
two immensities civilization upon the one
band, and barbarism upon the other.
We crossed the Missouri, and pursued
tbe well-worn road, winding our way with
ad hearts, for our I noughts were far off with
those at home, whom we might never again
lhold all before us sremed enveloped in
the dark pall of uncertainty ; all behind oa
waa the translucent sunshine of happiness
and prosperity. Every one of tbe party be
came oppressed with thoughts peculiar to
himself, and lost in reflection, each one pre.
served a moody silence. The scorching
rays of a hot sua beat down upon us with
intolerable oppression ; but as wc entered
tbe woods through which our road lay, we
consoled ourselves with the thought that the
sunny part of the road was a kind of proba
tionary state, to fit us for the enjoyment of
tbe groves, with the pleasant air and cool
shade incident to them. The first day
journey was rather monotonous. One of
our party, Mr. Green, had for several days
previous been suffering with premonitory
symptoms of cholera, and he concluded to
return. Reports from Rumor with her ma
ny tongues, that
From tke orient te tbe dropping west,

' brought to our ears accounts that the hek
era had broken out with fearful violence
among those who had preceded us. and
strange stories were told of those who, be-,

Thus we lay in the silent forest of the far
West, ruminating on the present and the
past, as

inquire the cause. Our guard, the verita.
ble Jim Cobb, bad fired the shot, as be said,
at a thief who was amoug the mules. Upon
examination, two of our best mules were
gone. All immediately gave chase in va
rious directions, but it turned out to no pur
pose. When morning dawned, we could
distinctly trace them from the pickets, and
determined to follow. Lawrence, Cobb,
0ari, Taylor, and myself, composed the
party, and we proceeded on the trail of them
for arer thirty miles, when we met a party
of 04ge Indians, who told us, in answer to
our inquiries, that they bad met a white
man with our identical mules, making all
sjieed towards Tort Leavenworth. He was
an expert thief, and probably had watched
our party for the express purpose of making
us part company w iih our invaluable prop
erty. Wc gare up tlie chase and returned,
being compelled by the loss lo abandon one
of our wagons. From this encamping ground
to the mission or agency station of the Sacs
and Foxes, wc found the roads almost im
passable. The cholera seized Dr. Charles
Otincomb, of New York, another of our par
ly, ami, at his urgent request, we left him
in the care of the kind and gentlemanly
Colonel Vaughan, commander of the station.
On the 18th of June, crossed the Neinhaw
j river, and entered upon the plains. We ex
perienced much annoyance from the mules ;
they are stubborn anniraals, and very bard
to control; sometimes, in their freaks, it is
impossible lo more theia forward ao inch ;

We pursued our way through the sun all
day long, and on the afternoon of the 10th
of June, we were, to allow the Hibernianism,
out of sight of land; the eye searching in Vain
for a tree or bush, on the broad expansive
prairies ; nothing was visible but its coat of
green stretching far and wide, a continuous
grassy bed, until its color melted away into
the tints of the sky. When night closed in
we had very little water and no wood. fie.
ing exceedingly tired, we were soon in a
sound sleep, although the wolves kept up a
fearful how ling close about our ears. We
were awakened at daybreak by the braying
of the mules, and the lowing of the oxen,
which formed quite a concert; one that pro.
bably wou.dnot be quite fashionable in tbe
State as lliseaccianii's or Brientis, but to
us the signal for gearing up, and to break
fast ; and as the son' rides from bis green bed,
we are on the road for our day's journey.
Have passed a large -number of graves, a
fearful mark of tbe ravages of the epidenic
among the emigrants who preceded us. On
one of them we could distinctlr read the name
of " William Chapman, of Cincinati, died
May 19th." It was traced on a rude board
for a headstone, and also, Dr. Ryan, of
Ohio, died May 23d. w Many other newly,
made graves were along the roadside, and
some of them were torn up by wolves, and
the bones were scattered around bleaching
in the sun. If was a sad sight to behold
them, and one well calculated lo fill us with
gloomy bodings of lbe future. At one place
tbe bones and skulls Were so numerous, torn
from the graves and strewn over the prairi
es, that it resembled a field months after
battle, where
Foe and friend mingle in the dost alike ;

After endeavoring to learn the names of
the.unfortunale, without success, we con
tinued on, passing over tbeaa graveyards as
quickly as possible.
On the afternoon of tbe 20th of June,
reached the banks of the Little Blue river,
after a journey of nearly a month. What
a change has come over us! so altered in
appearance that we should scarcely be re
cognize'd by our most intimate friend. (
Imagine to yourself, far out on the prairie,
surrounded by teams and live-stock, a pic
tureeque group, eight in number, with coot-
plexions tanned to a color partaking of a !

complete the picture. We have no idlers',
no, loungers ; all are busy at something win le
there is light to see.- The transition from
our luxurious home fare, and easy manner
of living, to pickled pork and salt bacon,
and the hardships Incident' to an overlnnd
journey, are ao great, as. not easily to he
conceived, except by those who are' able to

As we were toiling along one dsy, we
were overtaken by a son. of the Emerald
Isle, all alone and on foot, fie was not
overloaded; his baggage consisted of a
small bundle, hung on a stout cudgel,
swung over his shoulder, the end of which
rested in a huge fist, not unlike a brown
loaf in resemblance. His walk w is fast and
steady ; as he came up opposite to me,
humming an Irish lune, I inquired where he
was bound. "To California, sir," he re
plied, with a peculiar twinkle of his small
grey eyes. The idea was so r.ovel, lo think
that he would attempt a three months' jour
ney, solitary and alone, across a country to
tally unknown to him, without friend, ac
quaintances, or provisions to last him any
length of time, that I at first begin to doubt
his aincerity. But on he was going, and
would soon have left our party behind, if it
had not been proposed to him that he join
our company, lie accepted, and is now one
of us. lie has turned out to be an original
genius, and witly, as you may weH suppose.
We have given him the name of "Tall
Walker," although he disavows any claim
to it, hut says he was christened Pierce
Flcmming, m county Mayo.
Numbers of deer and antelope are to be
seen, hut too far off to get a shot at them.
The huntsman of our company is Joseph
Taylor. Who is there that has visited, for
a few years past, the well-known place of
resort called Sportsman's Hall, near Cincin
nati, and not heard of the soul of good com
pany and marksmen, Joe TavIorT He still

On the 25th of June, encamped upon the
open plain without wood or water. We are
compelled to drink from tbe stagnant pools
n tnc Doles on the prairie, so intense is our
thirst. The air is lint and oppressive.
Dark clouds were looming up in tbo south,
west, indicating the approach of supply in
the stormy clouds. A thunder storm on tbe
prairie is a fearful sight. All was rendered
snug at our quarters, like any ship at sea, at
lie hrst distant sound of Vulean s anvil.

Armorers, accomplishing the knights,
With buty hammers closing rivets up,
. Give dreadful note of preparation.
The wagons were arranged lo form a hoi
low square, with the tent erected in the
centre; I lie mules were picketed at a short
distance on the outside. The clouds rolled
up, and drifted across the sky with fearful
velocity. Yarious-sizcd birds went crying
through the air, now flying almost out ol
sight,now coming down again nearly touch
ing the surface of the earth, and then again
disappearing in the distance, as if in search
of shelter, or fleeing from the impending
wrath of the elements. The atmosphere
became agitated ; a light breeze blew mto a
gale. At short intervals the wind would lull,
and then an eddy-wind would sweep over
i he plain, as if beat back from some far off
mountain, shucking up the dust and smaller
objects that lay in its path. The mnlcssnd
other animals pulled away at the ropes, as if
they, too, saw something in the appearance
of inanimate nature, thai warned them lo flee
from approaching danger. All becomes calm.
It is too sudden to be of long duration. The
cloud banks become more dense arid darker
they seem to lie but a few yards above the
surface of the earth. It grows dark as night.
Of a sudden, the atmosphere is in a blaze i
and, wjth awful rapidity, pea after peal of
thunder makes the very ground trinlle
Aa I tie first sheet of limpid fire illumes the
darkness, instantly followed by a crash like
the sound of falling towers the terror-stricken
animals burst their fastenings and run
wildly before tbe storm. The flood-gates of
the sky are opened, and everything is delug
ed with water. The ocean itself seemed
lifted from its bed, and borne in a volume
through the air; it burst, and poured down
the whole of its contents on our devoted
heads, in the far distant plains of the Anahu
ac The violence of the tempest soon passed,
by. ' Long and difficult was tbe task of re
covering our mules again, and it was not
till after a race of some miles. Our quarters
were rendered most uncomfortable, every
thing wet through leul blown down, wag
oas upset, trunks burst open, and, what to
me was a more serious toss than any incon
venience I felt, my writing materals were
entirely destroyed. The storm was over al
most as sudden ss it rose.

universal leveller, stole o'er our. brows with
leaden legs and batty wings.
There are many things to cheer the emi
grants while on their long march, and not
the least of these is the news occasionally
received by telegraph. Be not astonished
when I lell vou that the tele era oh i. extcn-l

mean, the great l4ghia.ing'lung, O'Riley's,
but a line establiabed by jhe emigrants them
selves, for tbeir own convenience. I will
explain. At different points along tbe road,
there are sheets of wijtjug paper nailed up
high on the trees by those who bave gone on
before. They are generally headed with the
name of the officers of each company, and
from what State they came, ami then com
mence a detail of events occurring among
them on tbe way up lo this point, with the
date of the time when they passed this tele
graphic post. One day, Taylor had been
gone longer than usual on a hunting excur
sion, when it was determined lo call a halt,
and as it' was growing towards five o'clock,
we concluded to pitch ouif terit'and go no
further that nighl. He had gone on before
us, and we supposed probably turned off the
road lo follow an antelope or wolf, to get a
shot, and in thatway had fallen behind us.
We thought tt best to await his coming op.
About an lionr afterwards we heard him
coming down the road, be being still a&cad
of us. His mule was loaded with game;
and the first words we had from him, as he
galloped within hailing distance, were 'More
news by Telegraph I What is it V return
ed some half dozen voices at once. Du
puy, of St. Louis, died of cholera yesterday;
his company are six or eight hours ahead of
us. I learned the news at the telegraphic
station (an oak tree) about two miles up the
road.'
On the 2Sihf Jnn t jf

our little train pursued its way along the mar-
gin of the Little Blue river, and as the road
turned to-the left leaving l he prairie far be

We are now entering the Pawnee reeion.
i ue vicious nanus oi trie Indian tribe from
which it lakes its name are such, that all the
emigrates are doubly vigilant while in their
country, and it is customary to increase the
number of the guard at night. Their thiev
ing propensities are such, that a white man
will lose the very coat from his back and
the boots from bis feet, between sleeping and
waking, scarcely being aware of it until
fairly aroused, and then be becomes sensi
ble of the fact that they bave been stolen
from him. The Arabian tale of the three
.-harpers that stole from the countrymen, who
was taking a goat to the Bagdad market, his
goat, his mule, and his clothes from hisback,
without he suspecting it until too late, is a
mere nothing to the stories I bear of these
Indiana. Some of them 1 will transfer to
paper at the earliest opportunity. From
the Little Blue river, the road stretches across
the country a distance of twenty-eight miles
to the Platte river. We passed through fine
bottom lands, a dark luxuriant soil, covered
for the space of a hundred yards with buffalo
skulls. The picturesque scenery surround
ing the entrance to this valley, brought to
mind the romantic myth of the Northmen.

Imagination pictured among the bones, tall
warriors drinking their fierry draught from
the skulls of those whom they have killed
in battle, and dancing their drunken War
dance in OJ in's Halls, and ou the mead of
Va'.hallah.
Passing the low bottom lands, we reached
(he banks of the Platte river; pursuing its
courso a short distance over rolling lands
mid dry hard soil, we at length reached Fori
Kearney. The idea associated with what is
termed a fort would lead one to suppose il
would comprise a block bouse, with loop
holes lo fire through, out on the enemy, or
!nur walls enclosing a certain number of
feet of ground, either square or oblong,
with bastions and cannon, and a sentinel or
two to keep up a warlike appearance. Not
ao with Fort Kearny. It is nothing more j
diaii a lew mud huts, apparently built for a
temporary purpose. It is situated on the
north bank of the Platte river, opposite to
Grand Island, three hut-.'red and twenty
eight miles from St. Joseph. We reached
it on the 30th of June, about mid-day, and
encamped on the low plat in front of it.
Found plenty of soldiers, and a blacksmith's
shop. The latter wa have had occasion to
call pretty loudly for, considering the little
experience each one of our party has had in
that line of business. The venerable de
fendant of Vulcan, ith his assistants, seems
lo be in great demand, as a large number
of emigrants are waiting here to make re
pairs, and to give their mules time 10 recov
