Arrival.-—Last evening, just as we were going to press, Capt. A. B. Miller, of the firm of Miller, Russell & Co., of this city, arrived from the States, having made the trip from Atchison, Kansas, in fourteen days. He came with the mail as far as Bridger, and rode a horse from that place to this city, a distance of 113 miles, in twenty two consecutive hours.
He reports thousands of emigrants on the way from the States via Pike's Peak to California—most of them intending to pass through this city. He passed Capt. Hunt, paymaster of the Army in Utah, forty miles out from Atchison, having with him over $400,000 in specie for the use of the army in this Territory; also some five hundred recruits.
