EXPEDITION TO THE YELLOW
STONE

On Sunday the 30th ult. a battalion
of the rifle regiment, 800 strong, embark
ed at Belle Fontaiae TO ascend the Mis-
souri, river to the mouth of the YeltO,u
Stone. The expedition is commanded by
Lieut.. Col. Talbot Chambers. The cap
tains Martin, Magee, and Riley; the lieu
tenants Shade, Clark, Kavenaugh, Fields,
and Francis Smith, go out with their re-
spective companies. 1t is intended that
the expedition shall encamp during the
winter above the mouth of the KanSes !;
and continuing its voyage in the spring,
shall reach its point of destination in the
course of next summer.
The YelLOw Stone enters the Missouri
in latitude as degrees north; and in long.
81 degrees west from Washington city.
The intended post will be at its mouth.
The United States will then have milf
tary establishment one thousand eight
hundred miles west of the Mississippi, and
nearly one hundred miles further north
than the city of Quebec. The officers
carry with them the seeds and grains
which are expected to thrive 10 that eli.
mate, that the post may have within it.
self some resource against the failures Of
contractors. Wheat, rye, barley, and
oats, are expected to do we'll there. They
attain perfection even at the earl of Sci
kinks establishment on lake Assiaoboin,
three degrees further north. The Man.
dan corn will find itself in its own climate
at the mouth of the Yellow Stone. In fact
all the grains, plants and vegetables which
flourish at Quebec or Montreal may be
expected to be raised there, as the climate
in that interior region Of the North Amer
lean continent is known TO be near ten de-
grees milder than in the same parallel on
the Atlantic coast.
Our citizen, Manuel Lisa. SO
well known for his enterprise, will pre-
cede the expedition, to prepare the To-

and important changes have taken place
in the face Of Nature, with revolving ages.
Biologists have inferred, from the materials
which compose this road, that at some for
mer period it was the southern boundary
OF Lake Ontario. Every sublunary thing
has the impression of mutability. Rome
was ence mistress of the world.
Nothing can exceed the excitement
which exists in the mind when approaching
the falls, after leaving Lewistown; they are
heard sometimes previously to a storm al
40 miles distance, though they are not
seen until you arrive at the spot. Before
you have view of them, however, the
vapours are seen ascending above the
trees and forming clouds, and resemble
successive volumes OF smoke. AS you
penetrate the woody margin of the river,
the great wonder presents itself.-The
immense mass of waters passing over the
precipice, the fearful rapids above rush
ing over fragments of rocks with the haste
OF fugitive, the tremendous roar of The
cataract, the apparent shaking Of the earth,
all comprise to produce Oh the mind, an
Overwhelming and Undesirable effect.
The rainbow formed by the spray and va
pour, and the emerald green, unbroken
wave at the horseshoe pitch, impart fea-
lures Of beauty to the terrible scene.
Beauty and terror SO united, produce a
mingled sensation to which analysis can
not be easily applied. All travellers ac-
knowledge that description cannot possibly
do justice to the subject, and that 10 wa
ter-fall in the world will bear compari-
son with that Of Niagara.
Queenston. Heights, where General
Brock felI-Lundy's Lane, the scene of
the battle of Bridgewater, Chippewa, &c.
are in this neighbourhood. The battle at
Lundy's Lane was continued till late at
night, with the most determined and des-
tructive valour on both sides.
By torch and trumpet fast array'd,
Each horseman drew his battle blade,
And furious every charger neighd,
To join the dreadful reveIry.s
This battle ground is covered with
graves, where friends and foes recline to-
gether, though once engaged in dreadful
conflict, and the wild flower blooms over
the turf that covers them. The birds
carol as gaily, and nature is dressed in
smiles as enchanting, as if war had never
invested the scene with horror aud dismay.
The groans of the dying were drowned by
the thunders Of the cataract and the roar
of cannon.
There is a burning spring near Bridge
water. The old Irish woman who shows
ii to travellers need not in point of garruli
| ty fear contest with Shakspeare's nurse
10 Romeo and Juliet. She says that &c a
id dale of gentlemen think the falls
very little of a curiosity compared with
the burning spring" To the list of objects
calculated to crafty curiosity may like
wise be added the Whiripoot' in the Nj
agara river, and the 6 Devils Den," both a
few miles below the Falls.
