MISSOURI.
Col. Chambers, with battalion Of the
rife regiment, in keel boats, set out from
Belle Fontaine, on Monday the 18th inst.
to ascend the Missouri 10 Camp Martin,
where Lieut.. Col. Morgan is in command
with several companies of The regiment.
Col. Atkinson's regiment, 9th infantry,
is at Belle Fontaine. and we believe is on
ly delay ed by the non-arrival of some OF
the steam boats, and the time consumed
in the repacking provisions. Colonel At
kinson commands the expedition.
Gen. Jessup descended the Mississippi
on Sunday last, in the steam boat lndepen-
dence, in search of the Jefferson and Cal
houn, two of the steam boats destined for
the Upper Missouri. Upon the arrival Of
these, Col. Atkinson will proceed.
Arrived, Wednesday. 9th inst. the Yes
tern Engineer, destined for the Upper Mis-.
souri,. Passengers, Maj. Long. Maj. Bid
die, Mr.. Graham, Mr. Swift, Dr.. Jessup,
DR.. Say, DR.. Baldwin, Mr.. Peale. Mr..
Seymour.
The Western Engineer anchored at the
upper end Of the town, where she yet
lies. In passing the independence and St.
Louis, then at anchor before the town, she
was saluted by these vessels.
A description of this beautiful little boat
has been given to the public. We remark,
however. some further particulars which
deserve to be noticed. The bow of the
vessel exhibits the form Of huge serpent,
black and scaly, rising out of the water
from under the boat, his head as high as
the deck, darted forward, his mouth open,
vomiting smoke, and apparently carrying
the boat on his back. From under the
boat, at its stern, issues stream of foam
ing water, dashing violently along. All
the machinery is hid Three small brass
held pieces, mounted on wheel carriages,
stand on the deck. The boat is ascending
the rapid stream at the rate oil three miles
an hour. Neither wind or human hands
are seen to help her; and. to the eye of
ignorance, the illusion is complete, that a
monster of the deep carries her on his
back, smoking with fatigue, and flashing
the waves with violent exertion.
Her equipment is at once calculated to
attract and TO awe the savage. Objects
pleasing and terrify ing are at once before
him artillery; the flag of the republic !;
portraits of white man and an Indian
shaking hands the calumet of peace
sword then the apparent monster with
painted vessel on his back, The sides gaping
with port holes, and bristline with guns.
Taken altogether, and without intelI
gence OF her composition and design. it
would require daring savage to approach
and accost her with Hamlet's speech
=" Be thou spirit of health, or goblin
damned,
Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts
IRON hell,
Be thy intent wicked or charitable,
Thou com'>t in such a quss tionable shape,
That will speak to thee. -
