Extract Of a letter from gentleman in n.
York, to bis correspondent in this city,
dated 3Oth Sept. 1878:
Government is fitting out an expedition
to the Rocky Mountains and the North
West coast-It is said to be an expedition
of discovery, and is to be conducted by able
and scientific men, attended by military
force. A steam boat is now building at
Pittsburgh for this expedition, and which it
is expected will be able toproceed up the
Missouri TO ills source. II is ascertained
that there is a passage through the Rocky
Mountains, and at the distance Of about 5
miles after you pass the mountains,a branch
of the Columbia commences running 10 the
Pacific Ocean. Ii is intended TO take the
steam boat to pieces at the mountains, and
rebuild her in this river. The expedition
is to traverse the continent by water, and
to be absent about twoyears. II will pass
the first winter on this side the Rocky
Mountains. albany Gazette.

of Lake Erie, by cutting canal from the
head of the twelve mile creek to the Chip

almost the only distractions, in the nasi-
CATION from the Lakes 10 Montreal, are the

each side of the Lakes and River, would
glide into Montreal nor would the great
American canal materially impair the value
and Importance Of this extensive inland
commerce. The Duke OF Richmond, now
Governor of the Canadas, has been on
