OF THE YELLOW STONE EXPEDITION.

Extract of letter dated Martins Can
Torment, $50 miles up the Missouri
river, I'd Nou. 1918, from an officer Of
the Yellow Stone riUer expedition to a
gentleman IN st. Louis.
"After a very fatiguing and arduous
march Of nearly sixty days, We arrived at
this place few days ago, and took up
our winter quarters on an island, called
"Isle de Vaches" or Cow Island; and
Immediately commenced building our fort,
which is progressing rapidly; ! think il
the best situation We could find between
this and the mouth of the river.
We have passed through country
which is not surpassed in fertility Of soil
and water courses by any in the world.
Our boats have been propelled thus far,
excepting littlesietermediate sailing by
the Cordel; but owing to the rapidly oil
the current, and the numerous sandbars,
sawyers, planters, and ripples, we were
not enabled to make more than miles per
day on an average. 1t is source ofmuch
establishment to me, that we have not met
with some serious accident ; but, on the
contrary, we have experienced none Of
any Importance. Our force consists OF
about BAT men, including officers. Col.
Chambers having been ordered to take
command Of the 9th military department,
this command devolved on Capt. Martin,
who think well qualified to conduct an
expedition of this kiud.--As soon as the
ice breaks 10 the spring, It's expected we
viii again resume our slow and arduous
march for our destination, the mouth oil
Yellow Stone river. 1t is, however, my
opinion We will not reach it with our pres
ent force and the untavourable' prospects
attending it. At least one third oil the
mems term Of enlistment will expire De-
fore the march can possibly be performed
and the remainder are of such descrip-
ton as will never answer the purpose.

Another corps volantes, stationed in

India Wheat.-We saw in the market
last week two loads of wheat of kind
new to US, which, from peculiar proper
ties which it possesses, promises to be a
valuable acquisition to our country. The
owner said the seed was first obtained from
Philadelphia, and had been partially Gull
tivated in Oneida county for two or three
years. The kernel is very large, the
head rather short, and bearded. When
well filled it weighs go to 20 lbs. per
busheI. The sample we saw, which was
rather shrunk, weighed about IS lbs. per
bushel.
The peculiar properties Of this wheat,
which is a spring grain, are
/. II is much more hardy than common
grain. The straw is small, strong and
almost solid, which prevents its lodging.
2. On account, it is presumed, Of this
quality in the straw, it is never injured
by the fly or insect. 1t has yielded a
large crop by the side Of common wheat,

expect III the spring, when the grass has
attained height sufficient for their pro-
lection, the Indians will begin to ask us
where we are going, and our business for,
you may rest assured, they will never
fold their arms and tamely submit to our
sending an armed force at a point SO far in
the heart Of their country, when they are
backed and constantly urged on by the
British fur companies, on the Assynabion
and Red rivers. We apprehend more
danger from the Sioux and Ricarrees' than
any other nations. My opinions on this
subject may be groundleSs; time alone
will determine the fact"

CANCERS.

Several publications have been made
during the last year, ascribing extraordi-
nary virtues to the Pipsisseva or Sipsis-
seUa, a species of Wintergreen, in the
cure of Cancers. As we have met with
several persons who were DESTROYS Of as
certsining the precise species of the plant
referred to ia those publications, and at
the same time were unable to find III any
Dispensatory or other work, any thing
satisfactory, for the Information of the
public, we publish the following descrip.
ton of the plant, from Eaton's Manual
of Botany, for the Northern and Middle
States, work lately published by Messrs.
Websters and Skinner, Of Albany.
Umbeliata, princes Pine, Bitter
Winter Green, common in the Northern
and Middle States, flowers 10 July, col
our of the blossom red aud white, is pc
rennial plant,) leaves interchangeable
with an acute base scape corymbed
filaments glabrous. Pnrsh says, the Ma
culata* is the sipsissewa Of the Indians
and is useful in hysteric affections. Gen
Varuum says the Umbellata is the sipsis
sewa or pipsissewa, and is highly effica
cious 10 the cure of Cancers. Both ar,
taken from the genus Pyrola.
The MacuIata is thus described in the worl
above spoken of: Maculsta, (spotted winter
green, common in the Northern and Middl
States flowers in July, blossoms white, is peren

remotely serrate, marked with long spots; soap

From the National Advocate
Look under your beds.--A few eve
nings ago, gentleman, lodging at one Of
the principal hotels in this city, went late
TO bed, and amused himself with reading
Othello. AT the period when he was
most interested with the bed chamber
scene between Othello aad Desdemona, a
smothered sigh, or something like broken
respiration, met his ear--he laid down the
book to listen, imagining that the sound
came from the adjoining chamber--when
nearing it repeated louder and nearer, he
left his bed cautiously, and raising the
clothes, looked underneath, where he dis
covered a man, who, on being dragged
from his retreat, proved TO be a gigantic
black, who had concealed himself there
for the purpose Of robbery, or something
worse. Here was Otheflo personified.
Whether the scene which the gentleman
had just been reading, bad created an
alarming effect for the issue, we know not !;
but looking around the chamber, and find
ing no sword, he seized the black with a
furious grip, and dragged him from his
retreat. Another gentleman, just entering
with candle to retire, assisted to transfer
the negro into the hands OF the watch /:
and he is now confined. 1t appears that
he had been only released few days
from the state prison. Lodgers in large
hotels would do well TO ascertain, before
hey get into bed, that no one turks be-
meath it.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.


The arrival of the Manhattan puts the
Editors Of the Gazette in possession of
London and Liverpool paper, and LIoyd's
Lists, to the 10Th of November. The
only event Of moment, is the death Of the
Queen Of England. See extracts.
The Sovereigns still continued at AK
la G hapele where the negotiations be-
tween the different powers were contin-
ued.
1t was rumoured on the Continent, but
contradicted in the Paris papers, that
England is going to exchange Hanover for
Belgium, ceding the former territory TO
Prussia.
M. de Talleyrand has returned to Pa
ris, aud resumed his functions as Grand
Chamberlain 10 his Majesty.
The articles of a treaty lately made be-
tween the French and English govern
nents, guarantees to French ships trad
ing from Bourbon and their establish
ments at Madagascar, the same rights and
privileges as are granted to English ves-
sells carrying on a similar commerce.
A grand expedition is still spoken of, as
intending soon to sail from Spain for South
America.
An order 10 council has been issued,
prohibiting the expectation from England,
of gunpowder, arms or ammunition to Al
RIGA, the West-IDdies, or any part Of the
continent OF America, except with per-
mission-to continue for six months from
the Both Of November.
Sir Gregor Mac Gregor was in Lon
dop on the 18th November, aud was i'm
mediately to proceed to Deal. 1t was
said he would embark OIL board Of one OF
the two ships, forming part of his expedi-
ton against New Grenada, and sail from
the river for the Downs. Other accounts
say that he had sailed.
1t is remarkable, that on the first OF
January last year, we received the ac-
count of the death of the Princess Char
lotte, who died on the 9th of November
and the first Of January this year, the
| news of the death of the Queen, hel
grandmother, who died on the l7lh Of
November.

A modification took place in her Males

her medical attendants that she could mo-
survive many hours. At half past II
O'Clock the Prince Regent and the Duke
of York arrived at Kew. At O'Clock
her Majesty departed this life, quite tran

Died Nov. IL, 1918.
1t is worthy of remark, that several
thousand weight of American made Cheese
was shipped on board the Ann Maria, fol
Liverpool. We have no doubt this new
experiment will prove productive to the
shipper, and satisfactory to the consumer
as it is believed, that all the american
Cheese wants to make it equal TO any il
