ARRIVALS.—The teams of Captain [Robert F.] Neslen and [Edward] Stevenson's emigrant companies arrived safely; the former on Thursday evening, and the latter on Friday evening. Captain Neslen's train comprised fifty-one wagons with near four hundred persons. Captain Stevenson's train comprised fifty-four wagons and about three hundred and fifty persons. The emigrants appeared in excellent spirits.

Captain Stevenson left the Missouri river June 26. He divided his company on the Big Sandy for better feed. He passed in Echo Kanyon Rodgers & Co.'s merchant trains, sixteen wagons, crippled by loss of cattle; also passed Evan and Young's train on the Big Mountain. With Captain Stevenson's company came Elder T. B. H. [Thomas Brown Holmes] Stenhouse, from New York. Welcome to Utah, all our friends!
