From the hunt ber oi mounds in “Melt the Indians had buriéd their dead, found in the neighbor hood of the place at which the battle uas taught. itvis supposed that at least forty at their nomber were killed. » The Mexicans uerc much elated by the cictory'wlti'rlt lht'y‘rlaimed to have achie ved over Etlmnnson—said that they were expecting aid from Chihuahua—and wore _ congratulatingthemselves on the prospect of re-capturtng their country. as soon as Chpt.

Price, altho’ caid'to be under such an apprehension, had made no arrangement to meet the crisis. llts forces were scattered, and some at the outposts were intlifiercntly supplied uith prottsiuos, although the stores in Santa Fe 'were abundant. Lieut. Elliott thinks that the Mexicans could not take Santa Fe ve r‘y easily; but they could cut off the de tached parties. and no torce could be apn red from the capital to rellcw: them.

They had been much annoyed by the Indians on the Ar kansas, but were getting along very well, having Buccetled in_ preserving their stock. Oa'the 26th June. they met two quarter master’s ‘tcains, accompanied by Mr. Smith, whohsd been in command of a lit tlefor‘t on the Arkansas.

We find the following article in the St. Louis Re uo/icnn of the 20th : The I'l‘zlcatem Erpoailor.of Wednesday lasl. contains a letter written by Peter Quin-oy. of Ju‘ch-on county, who went out last year with a\ company oT‘omigrnme to California. This letter is dated on the 24th oi, March last, .at Lower Pueblo. He speaks very l'arorably of the country over which he has passed. and says, that if he were now back in Missouri wilh his {ami l_\', and with his present knowledge of the country. he would not hesitate to move there. The charms of Ihc country must be very gum lo counlelbalanco the difficulties whlch lho emigrants encountered in gelling there. and of which ho‘givos tome nccounl In this lellcr.

Bogas reached Culifomia nboul lhe same lime Mr. Qutvvey dtd. after much difficulty. having lost. his cattle. A party of emi grants who \rent out. or started with Cola nel Russell. suffered almost incredible hardships in the mountains last winter. ha ving been prevented front crossing them by the snow. This company was cotnpoied of twenty-three wagons. and-left Indian Creek on the 13th day of May, 1846.-- About a month [nations to the date of the letter. five women and two men arrived at Capt. Johnson's. the first house ot the Cal ifornia sett'ernents. enlirely naked, and their feet frost bitten. They stated. that their company had arrived at 'l‘ruekey's Lake, on the east side of the mountains. ’ond found the snow so deep that they could not travel. «Fearing starvation, sixteen of the strongest (eleven men and fire females) agreed to start for the ‘settlements on foot. lAlter wandering abottt 11 number of days. beuildered. their provisions gave out.—‘ Long hunger made it necessary to cast '0" to see who should be sacrificed, to make food for the rest. but at this time the wee ker began to die, which rendered the taking ‘ of life unnecessary. As they died. tlte‘ company went into camp and made meat‘ of the dead bodies of their companions.-- Nine of the men died. and seven were eat en. One of the men was carried to John son's on the back of an Indian. From this statement. It would seem that the women endured the hardships better than the men. as none of them died. The company left behind numbered sixty souls. ten ol them men, the others women and children.-—- They were in camp about one hundred mi'es from Johnson’s. Revolting as it may seem, it is stated that one of the women “as obliged to eat part of the dead bodtes of lth lather and brother. and another saw her husband's heart cooked l It ought to be a very fine country tojustify an expos ore to such sufferings and horrors.
