MARCH TO OREuoa.--De the negotiations concluded 10 what degree of latitude we be restricted, Oregon will be peopled with numerous emgranls, ''l have been surprised" ," writes Lieut.. of Dragons in Col. kearneys regiment to his friend in Washington, Sat the remarkably select appearance of the emigrans. All seemed highly respectable- many rich. They are mostly in families, with some few extra young meu, seeking their fortunes and wives in Oregon. The wagons are generally good and strong, fitted up to be comfortable habiia- tions. They have also tents for Inc young men and strong boys. All seem cheeriul-the men conlened, and the women tidy Sometimes you see he young women riding and knittng-sometimes walking with elastic step that betokens freedom from all hard ship. They have soue articles of furniture, and have plenty of butter and milk on the route. One party- of forty six wagons-aone had fifteen hundred milch COWS and oxen. Our coming among them has given seeming confidence. Our officers and soldiers mix with them, with that friendly and considerate feeling due 10 fellow citizens emgrating boldly to new homes m n distant land. If Oregon IS filled up with only such material as this, il will indeed be choice gem in lhs Union Not one of these parties has liquor with it. 1 omitted to mention that lher marches average twelve miles per day From what l learned from several of them, should say that the expense, per grown person, of getting 10 Oregon. must be less than twenty dollars--which sum is fully made up every head of stock driven 10 Oregon. or the thousands of cattle of lhe emgranIs, we have of the murrain. You now and then see calves that have given out, hut very few. As this emigration and the territory of Oregon form topics of such n teresi at present, hope dear sir, that you will cuse my so lung dwelling them. The number of souls in the parties already passed by us, amount to abont one thousand There many parties ahead; and many yet to start from Missouri"
