THE EMIGRATION.—Bro. John Brown, writing from Omaha on the 15th instant says: "To-morrow I expect to start a small party of Saints from here." This was the first party started from that point for the Plains. On the 17th, he expected Bro. Stuart with about fifty more, who would be immediately forwarded with the Express Train. Bro. H. B. Clawson telegraphed Bro. Brown, on the 14th, that 500 of the Saints were en route from New York to Omaha, and that 700 more would start on the 15th. They were expected at Omaha almost by the time the small companies referred to above had got fairly started, and would be forwarded to the terminus by special train.
