MORRIS, Pea. CEST The Upper Missouri—Movements of the Mormons. [From the St. Loffis (Mo) Organ, March 21.] We have received two numbers—one tor Febru- ary 2let, and the other for March 7th, of the Fron- teer Guardian, a neat paper, which is published semi-monthly at Kanesville, in Iowa, on the Mis- souririver, near Council Bluffs, in latitude 42. Kaneaville is, we believe, the same as the Mor- mons “ Winter Quarters,” and the journal isa Mormon paper. The winter in that region has been very severe, and nearly fourteet of snow has faller. Up to Feoreayy, 18th, there had been thirty-one days on which the mercury had fallen to or below zero! On the 11th of December, it fell to twenty degrees below zero ; and was repeatedly down to from eight to fourteen. Good sleighing lasted for three monthe. Late last month, the snow was two feet deep on a level. The Guardian of the 2lst ult. says:— ome hunters have just come down from Fort Vermullian, about one hundred and fitty miles from here, and they report the snow much deeper there thanhere. They say that many [odians in that Tegion are in a state of starvation, on account of the very deep snow preventing them from getting out to huntand kill game. Vague reports from the mountains say that the snow is beyond all caleu- lation. The Oniahas have lost nearly, if not quite all their horees. They are in great privation and ee and have been obliged to kill their dogs fortood. Itis apprehended that the weather at the Salt trom the superior elevation of its site—has been hard upon the settlers in that vicinity, and compelled them to consume their surplus stock of grain. The Guardian advises all Mormons who are going thither, to carry a supply of provisions to last them some time after they arrive there, and to take out milk cows. The Guardian says, that in consequence of the severity of the winter, maay farmers in Missouri have lost the greater part of their stock ie Many cattle are dying from the same cause and for want of food. Corn and fodder are becoming very scarce. There+has been very little stock in Potta- watomie county that has died as yet, with the ex- ception of the government cattle on the ruses, some fifty miles above this place. Many of them are Sring ot coldand hunger. Whoever is respon- sible to the government for these cattle, would do well te look tothem in our opinion. Work oxen will undoubtedly be high here in the spring, and the demand for them great. Every body is going to digging gold. The Guard:am gives unerring indications that the Mormons are full of courage and hope at this time. “ Kanesville”—on the Upper Missouri— though populous and surrounded by farms, 1s a mere stopping place--an inn by the ‘way side, for the temporary refreshment of the faithful, on their way to the “Great Basin.” The plan seems to be that thece who have gone thither in advance shall move forward, after disposing of their fixed property there to the emigration which follows, aa io on successively, as fresh companies shall arrive there year atter year. The scheme of emigration to the Salt Lake for the present year, is briefly detailed in the following statement :— 3 It is intended for companies to start from this int, to emigrate to the Great Valley of the Salt Yoake 80 800N as grass is sufficiently growa. ‘Whenever a company of fifty wagons have assem- bled at the camping und on this side of the fiver near this place, they will forthwith be orga- mized and start on their journey. This number ean travel with much more ease, comfert, and speed than any greater number. Our experience has proven this. The men and boys that will turally go with fifty wagons, will be quite sufficient to protect themselves on the journey againet the Indians. If any are deficient in this respect, we will furnish every company ith whut they may lack, provided the captain and principal men of each company will beeome responsible for the arms, and deli- ver them eafely to the High Council in the Valley, as there is quite a lot of arms here that belong there, and we wish to forward them on. The organization of companies will be strictly military, and every man should be amply provided with arms and ammunition adequate to avy aod everyexigence. Our experience last year with the Omaha Indians shows the importance ofa rigid observance of the above. ‘ ‘ The bill woh embracing provisions, and other articles to be taken, willappear in due time. Every wagon, before starting, will be ex- amined, to see if it contains the requisite amount of provisions, utensila and means of defence. [i they are deficient 10 these, they wil not be allow- ed to croes the river to proceed with our com. pames, The severity of the winter here, awakens some fears that they have had a severe winter to the Valley, and it will be, moat likely, thoaght better to takea greater amount of provisions than was at first anticipated. Tragepy In Giovcrster County, Naw Jensay. —On Wednesday last, two men, both citizens of Westville, better known as the Buck Tavera, uarrelled about their chickens, which were in the habit of getting into each others garden; during the quarrel, one of the party, a Mr. Bate. man, caught up a brick, and was in the act of throwing it at the other, Mr. Turner; before throwing it, however, Mr. Turner, who, at the time held ia his hand a fowling piece heavily loaded with large shot, cautioned him agaiust do- ing eo, remarking to him, ‘‘1f you throw it at im, [iI shoot you.” Notwitastanding this, however, Bateman threw the brick, missed his man, aad Turner immediately ficed; seventy tour of the shot took effect im the thigh, between the groia and knee. The injured man was still liviog when our informant lett, but htle hopes were entertained of his recovery. Some of the shot passed eatirely through the thigh. Turner was arrested, aod ia now inthe Woodbury jail —Camden, N. J, De- “THE NEW CITY CHARTER YOR THE CITY OF NEW YORK. nant To be Voted Upon at the Charter Election, TUESDAY, APRIL, 10.
