"More Emigrants."
We learn the following from the Squatter Sovereign, of May 1. The Golden State arrived at our wharf last Friday, and put off a large number of Salt Lake emigrants. This is the third detachment that has arrived at Atchison this season, and others are soon to follow. The camps of the emigrants, just back of the town, presents a city-like appearance, their tents leaving streets, alleys, &c., between them. The health of the emigrants is good, with but little or no sickness among them. Those who were indisposed when first landed have regained their accustomed health, and are now congratulating themselves on being landed at so healthy a point. All speak well of this place, and endorse it as a most desirable outfitting and starting point.
