Progress ef E1nigration,--It wlll proba- ply be somewhat surprising to those who observe the advance of civilization, to learn, that company of citizens of this state Is now organizing to emigrate to Upper California, on the shore of the Pacific. The company consists of about fifty families, principally in Jackson, Clay and Ray counties, who have entered into bonds to emigrate 10 California. As the company will not be ready until May, 1886, when they will rendezvous at Independence, 1t IS expected that they will then amount to about oae hundred families. Several lnd- yiduais of the company spent two or three months near Monterei, in California, last summer, and found the country, in point oE soll, climate and production, not only equalled, but far surpassed their most sanguine expectations.

 Patriots, philosophers and statesmen, have looked forward to some distant day, probably in the next century, when the tide of emigration, sweeping westward, would reach the shores of the Pacific; but few, t IS believed, have yentured to predict that la 1886, the Cabins of the s.western pioneers would be erected on the shores of the western Ocean.
