OREGON EMIGRANTS.

Preparations are making on the whole frontier, by the Oregon

emigrants, to leave at an early day. One company goes from

Savannah, another from some point between that and this, and

the company from this county, we understand, will leave at

Fort Leavenworth, or its neighborhood. One of the emigrants

who goes with the Savannah company informs us that not less

than one hundred families will leave at Elizabethtown, and

thirty families from the other points. The number from this

county we do not know. * * * A committee has submitted some

rules and regulations for the intending emigrants. They have

not yet had a meeting to adopt them, but they no doubt will

do so. They go about it in the right way, and the rules and

regulations are such as to secure order and method. They

expect to leave about the first of April, if the grass is

sufficient, or as soon thereafter as it is.
