did mischief, volunteers from the different
forts, embodied, pursued and fought them;
by which, tiiey were rendered timid and
cautious. It was owing to the almost un

was saved from ruin and dispersion. The

where grass of different kinds, plants, mid
weeds, of different sizes mid strange appear

lightful colors, seem to vie w ith each other
for oeeiipaiiey. These flowers commence

Hut the great lionst of the country, in

h." ions to the last summer, instanefs of
ieknt'ss have been very unfroqiK'nf, and fe-

among us. During the last summer, the
vgue lias been uncommonly prevalent in

lack ili.i not entirely' escape its ravages.—
But, reasoning from analogy. We may not
xpect another visitation of the same kind
for nine years to conic. The following,
however, is a sufficient verification of the sa
lubrity of the climate and the health of the
inhabitants. The town of Franklin has been
laid oil' three years, and possesses a popula
tion of v.mre. than one. thousand souls; only
eight of whom have died within said time.—
Three died of chronic disorders, two of an in-
flanu.tion arising from acute bilious aflerti-
lions, one of a consumption, one of the pu-
rpal fever, the oilier a child, its disease not
known. The current of emigration has
been rapid and steady. In tiie beginning
of the year] Qltl, the population comprised
within the limits herein before mentioned,
did not exceed five hundred. In 1818, ac
cording to the census, it amounted to near
nine thousand, and is now, on the most mo
derate calculation, twelve thousand. A wil
derness lias, within the short space, of three
years, been converted into productive fields;
and, through industry and enterprise, has
become the seat of ail-intelligent and dense
population. The lapse of a few years will
see tl;country improved by art, and draw

Franklin is laid olTon a liberal plan, on the
north bank of the Missouri river, and is an
incorporated town. The public square con
tains two acres, and its principal streets are
eighty-two and a half feet vyide. Being yet

Skilful, and industrious mechanics, of al
most every occupation, would here find cit-

wages extremely high. Provisions of al
moil every kind are clicapand plentiful, but
labor and hoarding are high: wheat Is at
one dollar per bushel, corn thirty three and
one third cents, beef and pork at liv e dollars
p.-r cut. and hoarding from three dollars
fifty cents to six dollars per week. Fresh
and sail springs, a fertile soil, and a healthy
climate, which arc not often united together,
with I lie cheapness of provisions, render it
as desirable to emigrants as any other secti
on of tlu: western country. Much first rate

COUNTRY OF Till: ST. PETEK’S.
Erf rail of a litter from nn qfirrr of the expe

frit ml in this eihi, dntid
Cantonin' at of the 6lli Itegt. U. S. Infantry,
,St. Pi ler's ltiver, Nov. 10, ISllt.
“ As the public, interest is connected
with our establishment hero, you will
probably be pleased to hoar something
of this remote corner of our territory,
and of our expedition to it.
“ The junction of (lie river with the
Mississippi is nine miles below the Falls
of Ft. Anthony, and, according to the
best calculations we can make, with a
quadrant of our own construction, in lati
tude 44 degrees 69 minutes north. T he
climate has been (Iris season, dry and
pleasant. On the ulliinst. the ice began
to run ie the Mississippi ; there is none
in the Si. Peter's.
The soil on the bottoms is alluvial
and riel., hut narrow in width. The
country there rises t:<) or Hit) feet, and
is one immense rolling prairie, of thin
light soil, and very little timber, princi
pally oak, and short and scrubby. These
prairies are covered witli grass, which h
very good for cattle, and, in the low
places, i-s sufficiently tall and thick to be
mowed to good ndv milage, and makes ve
ry good hay for cattle accustomed to this
kind of grass.
The greatest part of the stone about
here is iitnestoue ; the remainder sand
stone. Itut 1 hero is but a small propor
tion of the limestone which will make
time. It lias the appearance of having
been acted upon by heat and also by
water.
“ Our men, in quarrying the stone
for our chimneys, have found several
pieces of pure copper, and ore of sever
al metals combined, the principal of
which is copper. They have also found
considerable iron ore of a good quality.
11 c, nrj} x according to the c;,;„„i,xtion
ofboatmen and voyagers, three hundred
miles above Prairie do Chain, and eleven
hundred above St. l.ouis, and twelve
hundred from Detroit.
“We left Detroit on the 14tli day of
May last, in schooners, which took us to
(irceti Bay of Lake Michigan. Here
we took batteaux. Wc left Green Bay
on the Hh of June, and ascended the
Fox rivir. This stream cannot, with
much propriety, be called navigable.—
Uis verj reeky and shallow, and a very
rapid current. In three places it is
wholly impassable with a loaded boat for
nearly bt e ■ mil I e in each place. The
portage between this river and the Oivjs-
consin is,I believe, about l.vo miles. I
did not measure it for want of lime. The
Ooisronsii is very easy tc descend, hut
is diflictlt to ascend, on account of nu
merous said bars, and a rapid current.
'The smnonmy be said of the Mississippi
from Prailie du Client to this place.—
We arrive! i.t Prairie du Clieiu on the
30th June. Here vve remained until the
lith of Aufji* ., wailing for supplies, and
our recruis from Ft. Louis. On the
first of Avgust two boats arrived ; one
with store:, and the other with provis
ions. The recruits had tint yet come.
We set out vi'h w hat men we had, alter
leaving two companies at Prairie du
C’hcin, and ^ending one to Hock island.
This left usa force of about one hundred
men. Tlicmcr being low, vve found
some difficutv in getting over several
sand bars. Wc, however, arrived at the
month ofthei ivor Ft. l’eter, or Ft. Pierre
on the 23d <f August.
“ On the till ofSeptembcr 120 of our
recruits arrived, 30 of our men were
Iransferrhd te (lie rille regiment at Faint
Louis fo^the benefit of the Yellow Stone
expeditim.
“ We have now got our barracks
erected f r tl c winter, and shall lie verv
comforta le. We have commenced
ploughin', ard intend, the next season,
by order if Major General Macomb, to
raise sullfioct for the subsistence of our
regiment
“ Wlici this post is well established,
the only expense will be, (if it is cor
rectly inijiagid) the pay mid clothing of
the troop .
“ Wou|l not the employment of the
troops, in the manufacture of copper
and iron, pe advantageous to the govern
ment ?”

THE MKSOUI.I ENCAMPMKNT.
An oflickr of die Cth regiment, stati
oned at th? Council Bluffs, writes to his
friend in Hnttsburgh, (under date of the
12th of November) as follows :—
“ The siteulinii here 1 am pleased
with.—1 fliliik there is no danger of
starving, the provisions for the winter
mil sprint having arrived ; but vve feel
the want «f vegetables—it is almost three
months since vve have tasted any. We
found detr, elk and turkeys, in great n-
bundance in ascending the river. We
see few of them here : however two of
Capt. lie,ley's Riflemen came in a few
flays .-inct with forty turkeys—and ano
ther vvithtiventy-six.
* Two,great dinners have l>een given
since vve (.. rived here ; one by Colonel
Atkinsontto the officers of the two regi
ments ; tpe other was given in return by
the two regiments—at which wc laid
turkeys, wild geese, brant.-grouse, pnt-
ndges, ducks of eve ry description, fresh
beef and venison—but no vegetables:—
vve have, however, a good soil, and we
will have a plenty of these next season.
Our garrison, which is built of cotton
wood logs, progresses finely, and is large
enough to contain the two regiments.
“ The Colonel and the Indian Agent
have bold two councils w ith the Indians.
The Pawnees, with whom the first was
held arc represented ns being very strong,
and able to bring into the field 20(10
warriors and 700 fire arms—they are
all mounted on niuli s, which they steal
front the .Spaniards. They appear
friendly, ns do the Maliavvs. These In
dians arc not more than thirty miles
from us and are in our camp ev ery day

LONDON BREWERIES.
The Breweries of London, “ muv justlv
be ranked amongst its greatest curiosi
ties, and the establishment of Messrs.
Barclay, &c. is one of the most consider
able. A steam engine, of the power of
30 horses, does Hie greatest pint of the
work; for, although, there are nearly
two hundred men employed mid a great
number of horses, these arc mostly for
the out door work ; the interior appears
quite solitary. Large rakes with chains
moved by an invisible power, stir to the
very bottom the immense mass of malt
in boilers 12 feet deep; elevators which
no body touches, carry up to the summit
of the building 2,500 bushels of malt a
day, thence distributed through wooden
channels to the different places, where
the process is carried on. Casks of
truly gigantic size are ready to receive
the liquors. One of them contains 3000
barrels. Now at eight barrel, to a ton,
this is equal to a ship of 275 tons. By
the side of this are other enormous ves
sels, the smallest of w hich contains a-
bout BOO barrels, are worth when full
3000 pounds, (lie barrels alone in which
it is carried about to customers cost eigh
ty thousand pounds ; and the w hole ca
pital is not less than half a tuition ster
ling; £50,000 barrels of beer arc sold
annually, which would load a tlrct of
150 merchantmen of the burthen of 200
tons each. The building is incombust
ible—walls of brick, and floors of iron.

Baltimore Morning Chronicle thus perti
nently remarks—“ It is hoped that a pre
vailing sense ofdecency, it no higher consid

city to put a sop to such licentiousiiidulgcn-

and corruption of manners more, than sticl.
