The lute stcniffboat exi>t'illtlon up the Yellowstone has ileeijed soveittl quontiono eolli emIHK that lenuti ka j hie river which may lead to an early 1 and rapid settlement of the beautiful valley watered by It. The Josephine l ascended the river about seven hund red miles, to a point about soventy tlvo miles distant from Bozeman, the count) seat of Gallatin county, Mon tana. The first two hundred miles, uupromisinu: for aarioultural pur-, poses, exhibited in ilu> clayey banks on either side of the river, continuous veins of lignite, varying from three to seven feet, in thickness, which it was thought would dovolopo into a good quality of bituminous coal. A little further on, the valley expanded into large plains, covered with hunch grass, bounded by distint foot-hills. Tin' region is of vast extent, well wa tered by mountain streams, and easi ly adapted to profitable cultivation. ! The soil is a rich alluvium of day and granitic detritus, like that of the Gallatin valley, which ordinarily , yields from sixty to eighty bushels of wheat to the acre. It bus the advan tage of being from 1,500 to 3,000 feet i lower in altitude than the other Val ievs of Montana, thus escaping that worst enemy to variety of product, j early frost. TRIBUTARIES OF THE YELLOWSTONE. | On her trip up tile river the ./osc ' p/tine explored, as far as practicable, the country contiguous to those large tributaries', Tongue river, the Big Hofu (which it ascended ten miles), Clark's Fork, and the Bosebud. The report made by the party is very fa vorable, and refutes the prevalent be lief that those streams me hemmed in by mountain gorges. Tongue riv er, especially, is bordered by a heavy growth of foiv'st, with a broad valley i beyond, l’ompey's Pillar, the ia mbus landmark of Lewis nod Clark, ! was the virtual head of navigation, though the boat with difficulty as rendod twenty-two miles further, to the month or Pryor’s Greek. This portion of the valley is narrow and mountainous, and partakes, in its general character, of the gold dis tricts which hate been explored sev enty-live miles beyond. GOLD DISTRICTS. These gold districts are in the mountains, above all that portion of the valley infested by the Indians. They have been successfully worked by small parties ever since t he organ ization of Montana Territory; and since tlic exploration of the Hot S| Tings ('atnroots and Geysers tit t he head waters of the river, quite a number of settlers have been lured into that region, who have taken pos session of all the arable land that could lie* found. AN INDIAN EM AMI'MENT. On a beautiful prairie, ten miles above Pompey’s Pillar, tile ./oxr \ lihine’x company visited an Indian encampment, composed <>f friendly I tribes of Crows, N'ez IVroes, Gros Ventres and Bannocks, who, to the number of I.sun. were enjoying the ! hunting and iishlng facilities of this sequestered paradise. Manyofthem had never seen a steamboat, and were curious to examine into the pow er which gave it motion. Their horses und ponii - c,,verc(l the valley lor miles. Hie large quantities of buffalo, elk, mount,• tin sheep and an telope meat pa lied in their/iairdcsc/i --rx bore ample testimony to the übun danceof game which thronged tlic valley. SCENERY ALOSiO THE liiVEJI. In picturesque beauty and stupfu duiis grandeur of scenery, the Yellow stone is excelled by no river on the continent. Ten years ago, the writer of this article was one of a company i of 500, which made 11 trip to t he States, i in mackinaws, by way of the Yellow stone and Missouri. Starting from i the mouth of a canon, whose vertical sides rivalled tiie loftiest rocks of Yoscmite, we glided for the llrsf two 1 days over a continuous rapid, which | presented on either side all the gor i geous pheuomeua of a mountain I country. l!y an easy transition, the i ranges dwindled into rocks and ridges or marvellous height and beauty. I The bends in the river grew into long reaches, meadows stretched away to | 1 lie foothills; cotton-wood groves sprung up at brief Intervals, which, 1 from their regular growth, wore an j appearance of positive cultivation. ! Largo islands, whose hays and in j dentations were alive wil h thcscrenin ! ing and quacking of water-fowl, dee j ocrated the expanding stream with I their emerald beauty. And as if to I lend enchantment to a Scene of con stantly shifting variety, the river ! itself in every 20 or 80 miles of dis | lance, had forced its passage through I tiie stupendous yellow sandstone j ridge, from which it receives its mime. ! At these passages, it required no rn j markable effort of fancy to transform the eroded rocks, which rose for miles on either side to varying heights, into temples, towns, pinnacles, citadels and castles, and the vitrilied fracture of tlieir uniform strata, into the hier oglyphics of a numerous people. This kind of seem l y wnssuecceded by out stretching meadows, covered with gj-ass, and skirted |,y distant up lands. The rive, now nearly two miles in width, ■ as .divided into numerous chum, ,by inland ; its wa ters were sluggis. and yellow, and suddenly it entered between banks composed of lofty mounds of stratl lied clay. Every vestige, of vegeta tion disappeared. Unbroken veins j of lignite stretched along the batiks J for miles, sand-bars took the place of islands, and the whole country pro- I seated a scene of unrelieved desola j tion. The disappearance of the mounds before reaching its debouchure only furnished a more complete picture of the extent of thi.s melancholy region. Far as the eye could reach across the seamed and riven valley of ashen clay, it. saw huge tables arid pyramids reddened by the fires of a former era. A belt of cottonwoods stretch ing for a few miles along the banks, conceals this picture, and gives to the broad, deep river an inviting aspect at its junction. a sPiEsnio panorama. ! Next to its grandeur and variety, the novelty of the Yellowstone forms | its great attraction. With little of the savage magnificence of the Co j lumbia, and many of the homo-liko ! beauties of the Hudson, it surpasses both in panoramic effect and variety. One scene follows another in such ! rapid succession that the eye tiles I and tiie mind wearies in the effort to COLUMBUS, GA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2d, 1875. I comprehend them.

We claim that there is such a remedy, and that we have prepared it. and applied it, and proved it in our Anti-malarial or Euchyiuial Belt—and that persons who will wear this Belt may Inhabit the worst malarial districts without the fear of having any disease* arising from malaria; such as Chills and Fever, BUlious or Intermittent Fever, Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and Spleen, Indigestion, Coustqiation and Hem orrhoids, and tlia it will cure all tbe above dis eases, except tho worst cuscs of Billious and Yel low Fever. This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial Belt, as it corrects the humors of tbe oody and produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys tem, and thus enabling it to per orm its various duties without fearing the effects of malaria in the least. It has been tried iu thousands of cases without a failure. They can bo obtained from tho proprietor! in auy quantity at the Powell Building, junction of Bread and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.

After it had run on mo for two weeks, I was induced to try one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all medicine, and simply wore one of your Belts, as directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc cessive time thereafter for some three or four times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe tite and dear skin; and in future, if I should ever have a Chill or Ague,l would want one of your Fads, ami no physic. Wishing everybody that may be so unfortunate as to have Chills aud Fever may be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts, I am, respectfully, etc., W. J. Wilson. Atlanta, Ga., June 3,1875. Dus.
