He ascended the river as high as the \ el low Stone, two thousand miles from this city — not in steamboats, the use ol which had hardly been attempted at that day on the Missouri,but in keel boats, worked with paddles at the stern constructed under the direction of Gen. Atkin son. The expedition was a tedious one. yet full of interest to the gallant men at the head of 1 On his return. Gen. Kearnny was promoted to a majority in the 3d Regiment of Infantry in which he continued to serve, at the South, un til appointed lietenant colonel of the Ist Dra goons, a branch of the military service then first introduced. This regiment was organized by him, and in 1834, while acting as lieutenant colonel, he accompanied Col. Dodge on his arduous campaign among the Camanches of the Red River country. This regiment soon became conspicuous throughout the army for its high state of discipline. “Gen. Gaines has said that the Ist Dragoons were the best troops he ever saw;” and the efficiency of his training was exhibited in the bearing of the dragoon re giments and mounted rifles during the late war with Mexico. In this connection, we cannot refrain from copying an incident, which is highly illustrative of his peculiar qualities, and which is related by Fayette Robinson, Esq., in his extremely valuable work on the Army of the United States. “ While stationed at Jefferson Barracks. Gen. Kearney was drilling a brigade on one of the open fields near the spot. The manoeuvre was the simple exercise of marching in line to the front. An admirable horseman, he sat with his face towards the troops, while the horse he rode, perfectly trained, was backed in the same direction along which the command wasmarch eti. ArTjT.ce the animal fell, fastening the ri der to the ground with his whole weight. His brigade had been drilled to such a state of insen sibility that not one ofth.em came to his assist ance, nor was it necessary. The line advanced to within about ten feet of" him, when, in a loud and distinct voice, calmly as if he had been in a saddle under no unusual circumstance. General Kearney gave the command, ‘Fourth company -—obstacle—march.’ The fourth company, which was immediately in front of him, was flanked by its captain, in the rear of the other half of the grand division. The line passed on and when he was thus left in the rear of his men, he gave the command, ‘Fourth company into line—march ’ He was not seriously inju red —extricated himself from his horse, mount ed again, passed to the front of the regiment, and executed the next manoeuvre in the series he had marked out in the day’s drill.” In 1835, Gen. Kearney, in command of four companies of his regiment, visited the Sioux Indians of the Upper Missouri, and produced a reconciliation of' the difficulties which had existed for many years between that tribe and their neighbors, the Sacs and Foxes. In 1835, he was promoted to the colonelcy of the Ist Dragoons, Col. Dodge having resigned from the army, and until 1842, was stationed at Fort Leavenworth, on the Missouri river. Du ring this time, it is matter of history, that with less than half his regiment, he gave entire pro tection to the Missouri frontier from Indian de predation-, making freqnentand extraordinary expeditions among the Indian tribes, and im pressing them with a proper degree of respect for the Government under which he acted. In this station, too, Gen. Kearney displayed that best trait of a good and intelligent com mander. Although upon what was regarded as a peace station, and such it was, with (lie excep tion of keeping llie Indians in proper subjec tion, he maintained a degree of fellowship, es prit du corps, and good feeling among the offi cers and men ofhis command which has seldom been equalled at any post. Nor was he more eminent in this quality than in the respect, con fidence and good will manifested for him by ihe frontier settlers whose approximation or bu.-i --ness brought them in connection with the com mand. At all times courteous, bland, approach able and just, yet stern, fixed and unwavering when his decisions were once formed, he not only acquired the respect, but commanded the confidence of all with whom official business or private relations brought him in contact. In 1842 he was appointed to the command of the Third Military Department, with his head quarters at St. Louis in which position he was retained until 1846 It is not to be supposed, however, that during this time he led an inac tive life. In 1845, in command of five companies ofthe dragoons, he made one of the most extraordi nary marches on record, extending as far as the South Pc.ss of the Rocky Mountains, re turning by the way of Beni’s Fort, on tiie Ar kansas, to Fort Leavenworth. In this expedi tion he held council with numerous tribes of ln dians, and was of important service in giving protection to the emigrants in Oregon and the persons engaged ii*the Santa Fe trade In 1846, the war with Mexico having in the meantime commenced, he was appointed to the rank of a brigadier general and assigned to the command of the “ Army of the West. r his armv as is well known, was ordered to take military possession ot New Mexico and Cali fornia. A land march of such immense dis tance, in a desert region, and with no possibili ty of obtaing supplies, except at either extremi ty of the route, required the direction precise ly of such a man as Gen. Kearney. He was fa miliar with such service, and knew how to pro vide for all the wants of his army. In an in credibly short period of time men were enrolled and assembled at Fort Leavenworth. All the necessary military supplies were also soon col lected, and almost as soon as the New Mexi cans were aware ofthe existence of war. Gen. Kearney with an army at his command, was in quiet possession of the capital of the country. Here, after making such disposition ofhis mil itary force as was advisable, and providing a temporary civil government for New Mexico, he proceeded to carry out the further instruc-
