led fruit,
parcuea . cern,
peas, sugar, tea , coffe e ,and such like articles as you
, can well bring. Flour will keep sweet the ;shade trip,
corn meal to the mountains, and parched corn meal
ail the way. The flour and meal ought to be put in
sacks or light bartels; and what they call shorts are
just as'good as the finest flour, and will perhaps keep
better, but I do not remember of any flour being spoil
ed on the way. The parched corn meal is most ex
.e-ellent to make soup. Da led fruit is most excellent;
A few beef cattle to kill on the way, or fat calves, are
very useful, as you need fresh meat Peas are most
eicellent. The loading should consist mostly of pro
visions. Emigrants should nut burthen themselves
with furniture, er many beds; and a few high trunks,
or very high boxes might be brought to pack clothes
in. Trunks are best, but they should he light. All
heamtuticles should be left, except a few cooking
- vessels, one shovel, and a pair of pot hooks. Clothes
'enough to last a year. and several pair of strong heavy
shoes to each person, it will be well to bring. If you
ere heavily loaded. let theilumitity of sugar and coffee
tie small, as milk is preferable, and does not have to
Ise hauled. You should have a water keg, and a tin
'canister, made like a powder canister, to hold your
vnilk in; a few tin cups, tin plates, tiu saucers, and
butcher knives; and there should be a small grinchnone
in company, as the tools become dull on the way.
Many other articles may be useful. Rifles and shot
inns, pistols, powder, lead, and shot, I need hardly
say, are useful, and some of them necessary on the
road, end sell well here. A rifle that would cost twen
ty dollars in the States, is worth fifty dollars here, and
-shot guns in proportion. The road will be found, upon
the whole, the best road in the world, considering its
length. On the. Platte, the only inconvenience arising
from the road is the propensity to sleep in the day
time. The air is so pleasant, and the road so .-month,
that I have known many a teamster no go fast asleep
in his wagon, and his team stop still in the toad.
The usual plan was lot the wagons behind to drive
amend him, and leave him until be waked up, when
he would come driving up, looking rather sheepish,
Emigrants should start as early as possible in ordi
nary seasons; by first of May at farthest; even as early
as first of April -would do. For those emigrants corn
ifig-from the Platte country, it is thought that they
had better cross the Missouri river at McPherson's
, Ferry. in Hutt county, and take up the L•irlge between
Platte and Kanzas rivers; but I cannot determine that
question. Companies of from forty to fifty wagons
are large enough. Americans are prone to differ in
opinion, and large companies become unwieldy. and
the stock become more troublesome. In driving
stock to this country, about one in ten islost; not more.
Having started, the heat way to save the teams is to
drive a reasonable distance every day, and stop an
hour before sundown. This gives time for arranging
the camp, and for the teen:is to rest and eat before it is
dark. About eight hours, drive in long days—resting
one hour at noon—l think, is enough, Never drive
irregularly, if you can avoid. On Platte river, Bear
river, and Boise river, and in many other places, you
can camp at any point you please: but at other places
on the way, you will be compelled ta drive hard some
days, to get to water and range. When you reach
the country of buffalo, never stop your wagons to bunt,
as you will eat up more provisions than you will save.
It is true, you can kill buffalo, but they are always far
from camp, and the weather is too warm to save much
ofit. When you reach the country of game, those
who have good horses can keep the company in fresh
meat.
If an individual wishes to hive great amusement
•hunting the buffalo, he bad better have an extra horse,
and notvse him till he reaches the buffalo region.—
Buffalo hunting is very hard upon horses; and emi
grants had better be cautious how they unnegissnrily
break down their horses. A prudent cure should be
taken of horses, teams, and provisions, from the start.
Nothing should be wasted or thrown away that con
be eaten. If a prudent course is taken, the trip can
be made, in ordinary seasons. ire four months. It
took us longer; but we lost a great deal of time on
the road, and had the way If break. Other routes
than the one travelled by us, and better routes, may
be found. Capt. Gant, oar pilot, was decidedly of
the opinion that to keep up the south Fork of the
Platte, and cross it just above a stream running into
It, celled the Kushlapood, and thence up the latter
stream,passing between the Black hills on your right,
and peaks of the Rocky mountains on your left, and I
striking our route at Green river, would be a better
and nearer route—more plentifully supplied with game
than the one we came. He had travelled both routes,
and brsught us the route he did, because, he had been
informed that large bands of, the Sioux Indians wire
hunting upon the southern route.
The trip to Oregon is nut a costly or expensive one.
An individual can move here as cheap, if notcheaper,
-than he can from Tennessee or Kentucky to Missouri.
All the property you start with you can bring through;
and it is worth thribble as much as when you started.
There is no country in the world where the wants of
man can be so easily supplied, upon such easy terms
as this ; and none where the beauties of nature are
displayed upon a grander scale.
Tire.—At half past 9 o'clock, yst evening, firo was
'discovered in the third story of a large r.ew building
at the corner of Gravier end Magazine streets, occu
pied as'a clothing store by Alfred Munroe & Co.—
The flames had quickly spread to the ruljoining build
ing on Magazine street, Messrs. Hill & Cooley's fancy
store, which were soon completely gutted, leaving but
a shell from the first story to the roof. The further
progress of the fire was here stayed by the prompt
attendance and vigorons exertions of our excellent
Vs department Messrs Munroe & Co. managed to
save a portion of their stock, which was conveyed to
the Arcade, opposite. Much of the property of Messrs'Hill ;
& Cooley was thrown indiscriminately into the
street, and no doubt received considerable damage.;
We understand that the parties are fully insured.—
Ths buildings , which form one entire set of premises,
with no party wall, are the property of Judge Martin,
of the Supreme Court. No accident occurred to any
one we are happy to learn. No 2 Fire Engine was
int en the spot; the supply of water was most abun
dant, and the operations of oar gallant firemen ctdmi•
',able. We cannot refrain from recording our feeble
tribute of praise to the Firemen on this occasion.—
The /lames spread with extraordinary activity ; yet so
continuous and so abundant were the streams poured
in on them, that by half past ten all were extinguished.

THO 9. PHILLIPS h. WM. H. SMITH, ZDITORS
PITTSBURGH, MONDAY, JANUARY. 20
FINANCES or PENNSYLVANIA —We have often
heard Joe Mass, Esq., the Treasurer of this State,
spoken of as a capable, careful officer, who posser
scs qualifications for the office whidb are rarely
combined in one individual: His Report on the
Finances, for the last Fiscal year, which is now be
fore us, would go far to confirm and establish that
opinion. The document is concise, methodical and
satisfiu:tory; if any satisfaction caps be taken in reading
an official document showing that our state is in debt
41 millions of dohars.
The State Treasurer reports That $274,087 00 of
the Small Notesissued ender the act of May 1841, have
been destroyed, and that ;171,036 more of the loan
they were issued to supply, has been funded. The
Tteasurer recommends that the cauceliMion law be
continued.
Of the certificates issued to Domestic creditors
$104,384 93 remains unpaid.
00,000 dollars have been appropriated for schools,
for 1845. The Tax collected for State uses, in the
last yeta, is $751;210 01. In relation to the provis-
ion for interest on our State debt, the Treasurer says:
" It is believed, and with a degree of confidence,
that the taxes to be assessed and collected for the
year 1843, under the provisions of the act of Assembly
of 20th April, 1844, together with the revenue from
the public improvements, should they remain unsold,
after deducting the amount required for the ordinary
repairs thereon, if prudently managed, which there is
every reason to believe will be the case, under the su
pervision of our able, experienced and attentive Board
of Canal Commissioners of the state, will be sufficient
to meet the payment of the interest on the state loans.
"Should the public improvements be sold as direc
ted by the act of Assembly of the 29th of April, 1844,
and approved of by a majority of the citizens of the
state, by their votes at the late election, then a tax of
two mills upon the ruination of reel and personal pro
perty made taxable for state purposes, will be sufficient
to meet the interest on the remainder of the state debt.
which will be reduced at the time the works pass into
thehands of the company, to $25,703,866 89."
The Treasurer says that there will be in the Treasury,
on the Ist of February next, applicable to the interest
on the State debt $846,449 83. The whole amount
required to pay interest or the debt and certificates
issued for interest, will be $971,395 90. The Trea
surer supposes that the - amount required to pay oil' the
whole interest, about $140,000, could be borrowed, if
the Legislature should think best to pay it all off on
the Lst of February.
There are many valuable facts and suggestions in
the Repoit which we must pass over. ' The subjoin
ed tabular statements will be found in resting:

NOMIYATIONS 1117011.2. TIM SINATZ.---It IS stated
that the Senate has determined to bear no oral charg
es against a nominee hereafter. The Charleston
Courier very properly remarks: This is areform which
.will tender the secret action of the Senate more COD
foi mable to the spirit of our institutions. It is proba
ble that most of the remaining nominations of Presi
dent TYLER will be confirmed. In cases where writ
ten and attested charges are made against nominees,
the Senate, I learn, will give the individuals a chance
to rebut them. They have but one step more to take,
which is to throw open their doors on nil occasions,
except where confidential communications in regard
to foreign affairs may be concerned.
GHAT xxx differ on some subjects. Henry Clay,
the great embodiment of the universal whig party,
says that the institution of slavery is sanctified; Deacon
White the small embodiment of the fifteen whigs,
says that it is accursed. Will the editor of the Ga

Weapons, pistols; distance, ten paces. Two shots were
passed without effect, when, on the intervention of
friends the affair was adjusted, and the parties exchan

some circumstances connected with the recent canvass

The Senate, to-day, passed the bill from the House
establishing a uniform time Sro holding the election
for President and Vice President in all the States in
the Union. The bill was amended by the Senate, fix
ing Tuesday next after the first Monday of November
as the day on which to bold the election. Several
other bills of less importance were passed. The post.
age bill was made the order of the day after Monday
next. The Senate, after passing some time in the
consideration of Executive business, adjourned over
till Monday next, to enable the committees to attend
to the business before them.
The first business in the House, this morning, was
the introduction of a resolution by Mr Preston King
for the appointment of a select committee to examine
and report whether any, and if any, which of its mem
bers have been engaged in fighting a duel on account
of words spoken in debate, and giving to said commit
tee the power to send for persons and papers; also a
second resolution, that if it should appear to said com
mittee that if any members of the House have been
engaged in fighting a duel on account of walls spoken
in debate on the floor of the House, then instructing
said sommittee to report the facts, with a resolution
to expel any member ormembers guilty of such crime.
After an ineffectual motion to lay this resolution on
the table, a debate ensued, in which Messrs. Rayner,
Payne, Causin, and M' Dowell took part; after which,
the resolutions were laid on the table—yeas 106, nay*
82. Mr Davis of Indiana having moved the recon
sideration of the resolution passed yesterday, on the
motion of Mr Grinnell, in relation to the publication
of the maps of the exploringexpednion, a debate en•
sued which lasted the remainder of the day, and the
House adjourned witaput taking up the Texas question.

the door of the whip, who have so long ruled the city

SPAIN.—We have received Madrid journals of the
2d, but their contents are of little- importance. Gen
eral Prim has arrived at Carolina. Marquis de Casa
Irugo has set out for Paris en route to his ',wit in Lon
don. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the
discussion was resumed on the constitution bill; and
it was expected that it would be terminated in the next
sitting. Zui bano was still concealed. It is said that
the mother of General Film has arrived at Madrid to
supplicatethe pardon of her son.
The Spanish insurrection has proved a failure, and
a brother-in-law and son (a mere youth of seventeen
years of age, and totally guiltless even if his father is
not)of Zurbano have already been executed, merely
on their identification, without any proof of guilt or
even form of trial. Indeed a local magistrate has
been dismissed for his delay in executing these orders
—a delay which does not seem to have been long.
Forty other adherents ofthe same unfortunate cause
in custody, are to he similarly served. They call
this government in Spain. If it is, it is certainly the
most sanguine, savage, ferocious and inhuman, of any
government that Europe has seen since history began

PORTUGAL.-LISBON, Dec 3.—The new taxes on
wine (vinho Verne) and salt, and additional duties on
the importation of foreign hemp, flax and iron, having
been voted by both chambers, a royal decree has been
issued ordering them to be collected forthwith. There
is reason to believe that the Swedish Minister is about
to address a remonstrance to the Portuguese govern
ment against their departure from what has always
been the rule amongst commercial nations in cases of
this sort, by not allowing a sufficient length of notice
for the information and guidance of exporters abroad.
Flax is imported into this country chiefly from
Sweden and Russia, and iron almost exclusively from
Great Britain, and therefore it seems likely that the
British and Russian Ministers have taken,orwill take,
a similar step. If the Portuguese government should
be so unreasonable as to insist on enforcing the pay
ment, without giving sufficient notice, the consequences
will be very serious to the owners of the cargoes now
on their way to Portugal.
Very Gresn.—Last week a respectable grocer, not

By Josiah Gregg.
" It treats of a subject which is already of vast im
portance to our city, and is every day becoming more
interesting to our business men and manufacturers."
Pittsburgh Post.
"These are a couple of most Interesting volumes,
well worthy to occupy a place beside the rich narra
tives of Irving, Kendall, Townsend and others. The
writer appears to talk of what he Tully understands,
and in his perilous experience has gathered incidents
illustrative oftbe peculiar character of the trade of the
countryand the inhabitants, that hold the reader with
a power equal to the magic web of fiction—softens
the heart with the privations and sufferings of our fel
low man, and expand the mind with the wondrous
realities and vicisitudea of Life on the Prairies."
Philadelphia Saturday Courier.

amount of matter, not only of importance and value,
but of deep interest. "—N Y Cou Enq.

very necessary and useful addition to our stock of eth

delightfulnarrative, not surpassed in interest by any we
have lately read. We earnestly recommend the book
to our readers "
