Letters have been received from the de-


tachment Of U. S. troops, under the COM


mand Of Colonel KEARNEY, out from Fort


Leavenworth about eight days, and distant


some one hundred and thirty miles. The


expedition was progressing rapidly, and


were in good spirits and health. They had


passed several companies, IN ro,de for Ore
gon. The ernigrants were getting along


well, and with very little trouble. About
three thousand persons are reported to be


on the route: they are divided into compa-
MES Of one to two hundred, which travel
IN advance Of each other about a DAYS
march. Each company has from 500 to
700 head Of cattle. The emigrants appear
TO De good class Of people, possessing
many Of the conveniences, and some even
the luxuries, of life. A large party of the
emigrants were several days in advance Of
the troops under Colonel KEARxEY. It's
probable that the Colonel will make rapid
marches until he gets in advance Of all the
emigraRts, as their precedence ofhim would
render It more difficult to obtain game and
subsistence for his men. The grass was
and il abundance for the supply q. the
horses. .--N. Losis Rep.
