el low stone fcXPED ion. Extract cf a tttttr dated Martin C aniontti' nts tkrr hundred mnd rifkty inil$ l:ft th. yfi'sonri rivet , 2d .Yr. 1818, from an offior qf the Yell tp StoHB river i x fit dit ion to a Gentleman in thi rot;ot. " After a very fatiuin and arduous marc! j of nearly stxtv days, wc arrived at this place a few dft.y a ao, and took up on- aril ' ' OtiarterS on an island called lilt dc VUtcnea or on Island ; and immcJ i:lciy I unmenced ttmldmg our fort, Irhich is progressing rapidly. I think it the best Situation We could find beIween this and the MoUth of the river. 4 We have passed through a country Whl I is not siii passed in fertility of toil end atefr Courses bv anv in the woild. Our boats hue been propelled thus far, feftceptkng a little intermediate sailing) bv t'n- Cottdel ; but owin to the rapidity oft'u- current, and the numerous sandbars, sawyers, planters, and ripples, we Were not enabled to make more than 9 mi! s per day, on an average It is a iotiri e of much astonishment to me, that v e have not met with some serious accident ; but, on t'ne contrary, we have ck periein e l none of any importance. Our force consists of about ?4 7 toco, including officers. Col. Chambers having been ordered to take command of fcht 9th 1- partment this command devolved on C-ipt Martin, who I think is well Qualified to eonduet an exnelition of this

kin It As souii as the ice breaks in the

spring it is ex pet tea we win again resu -ie our slrMjr and arduous larch for our deskratiftm tbe moutit of the Yellow StouVRiver. It is, however mv oplnifm we will not rea i it with our present force, and the unfavorable prosnetti attending it. At least one third of the men's term of enlistment will i xpue befoie the march can possibly be performed, and the remai . ler aie of such a description as will tv vi r answer the purpose. I expect in the spring, u liCh tne i;rass bas attained a h itf it sunv ient for their protection the 1 ulians will bein to ask us where we .re Koin, and our business ; for, you ma et assure', they will r.ever foici t e ;r aims and tamely submit to our tiding . n armed force at a point so far into the heart of their country, when they are backed and constantly urged on by the British fur companies, on the Assy nabi i and Red five's. We apprehend mor danger bom the Sioux and Racarrees than any oi he? nations Mv opinion on tins subject may be groundless, but time alone will determine the fact." In add) ion to this we learn from Maj. CVF.tilon, agent for Indian affairs who

has lately returned from ti c plate where

apt. Martin has fixed his winter quai-

p. om & party ol men who were on a

untiuv; cx ur-ion were nred upon by

the anses Indians ; but fortunately no lives were ,,st Maj . OTallon also states thai wnil he a descending the tier, an Indian appealed on the bank, and in a menacing tone directed him to come aibore. t dline; him at the same time, that he bad a patty of men behind him. and if he ul no;, his destruction woutdbethc Consequence Mai O. not being disposed to hi forced mto a compliance, direct d hi patroons to continue their course, The Indian hereupon tired, St Wraiad Map O'selothes. Hi- fire wis irn nediately returned, and several ihotl Were exchanged on both sides, tho' it is believed without injury to either On going a quarter of i mile further, tho Same scene was acted ocr again and it is believed resulted in the death of the assailant. And we also understand that tffl traders of this place were robbed of th i mere Ivuuli 2i bv the same cation of Indians, These Indii Itl ma of ft I vs. lite disposition, may peob ibly be the pre lude of tomelhing more serious St. L )ui$ A ;:.;rrr.
