THE party of discovery, under the
command of captain* Lewis and Clark,
left the mouth of the Missouri on the
19th of May, lfKtt. An express with
dispatches from their winter quarters,
which left them the 14th April, has re
turned to St, Louis. By the express,
letters wire received from captain Clark
to his correspondents in Kentucky. A
gentleman from Jefferson county has
obligingly favored the Editor of the Ken
tucky Gazette with the following account,
which he obtained from one of the men
who returned with the express, and from
some of the party. They fortified them
selves in November last, on the bank of
the Missouri, 1609 miles from the mouth
by actual measurement, in latitude 4f,
21, north i called then Fort Mamlane,
after a nation of Indians who reside in
the neighbourhood, and who have been
very friendly to them.—-On their pas
sage up, they were delighted with the
beautiful appearance of the country for
about 2Q0 leagues, or to the mouth of
the river La Plate, which comes in front
the South} after which, to their winter
quarters, It is described not to be so fer
tile. «\The person who brought the dis
the river, being about one mils wide
with high cliffs on etch side. The bed
of the river occupies about* fourth part
of it, tha remainder of the bottom is en
tirely composed of coarse sand, covered
with cotton irood. This bottom is con
tinually giving way either on one side
orthe other, hnd gaining on-thc opposite
side. The cliffs in some placet are co
vered with red cedar, which, with the
cotton and a few small black ash trees, is
the only timber described to be in that '
country.—From the height, there is not
■ tree or twig to be seen, as far as the
sight can extend, or they have explored.
Out from the river the land goes off per
fectly level, with but few exceptions— ~
and their plains covered with grass.— } i
They passed thy mouths of a number of
streams, the most of which had names
given by the F rench.—One of which they
have named Floyd’s river to perpetuate
the name of a young man, of theiV party,
named Charles Floyd, who died much
regretted on the 20th August. They
representthe Indians to have been friend
ly, with but a few exceptions. The
Soux are the most numerous, are organ
ized in bands bearing different names;
move about from place to plaqp, from
the banks of.the river out to the plains, ;,
in pursuit of game and plunder, having
no fixed place of residence, and in a con
tinual state of warfare.—These were the
most troublesome Indians to the party of
discovery, as they expressed a jealousy,
lest they would supply their enemies
higher up with arms, Stc.—Thehigh- .
er up they went, the more friendly they
found the savages, and the better afm- *
cd——They have a more regular trade
with the North West company, and the
Hudson bay company , which supplies
come to them by the way of I*ak<; Win- —
nepeck. The Mandanes cultivate corn,
whichisofa small kind, from which the " :.Vi
