FROM CALIFORNIA AND CARSON.—A company of 31 men, 16 women and 18 children, Elder P. G. Sessions, Captain; H. Thatcher, Sergeant of the Guard; Theodore Curtis, Chaplain; W. F. Anderson, Clerk; reached Bear River ferry on the 12th inst.

They left Carson Valley on the 16th of July, and met with no interruption nor accident, as they kept up a vigilant guard at night and traveled in close order by day, with a front and rear guard. The overland emigration had some trouble with the natives, and one emigrant company informed Mr. Sessions that they had recently killed 10 Indians and that the Indians had killed a few whites.
