GENERAL .4SHLEY'S EXPEDITION
The recent expedition OF Gen. Ashley
10 the country west Of the Rocky Noun
tains, has been productive of information
on subjects of no small interest to the
people of the union.
II has proved that the overland expe-
ditions, in large bodies, may be made 10
that remote region, without the pecessi-
~ of Transporting provisions for man or
beast. Gen. Ashley Jeff st. Louis ia
March last, and returned in September.
His return caravan consisted Of upwards
Of one hundred horses and mules, aud
more than half that number of men. He
went TO the station of the party he bad
left beyond the mountains, when he came
in year ago and thence descended
river, believed to be the BuensVentura,
about one hundred and fifty miles to the
Great Lake.
His return march 10 ST. Louis occ0-
pied about scs enty days, each mule and
botse carrying nearly hundred pounds
Of beaver fer-the animals keeping their
strength aud flesh on the grass which
they found, and without losing any time
on this long journey. The men also
found an abundance Of food they say
there was no day in which they could not
have subsisted tbossand men, and often
ten thousand Buffalo furnished the
principal food--water of the best quality
was met with every day. The whole
route lay through level and open coun-
try, better for carriages than any turn
pike road in the United States.-Wag-
gons and carriages Could go with ease as
far as General Ashley went, crossing. the
Rocky Mountains at the source Of the
north fork Of the Platte. and descending
