The Fortified Forest Of Missouri A
monthly magazine established in llilnuis, un-
der the editorial superIntendence OF james
lIail, says - a letter from officer of the
United States Army contuins some curious
particulars oil the remains oil a petfified TO,
rest, which are found in great abundance a,
little distance below The junction of the
yellow Stone river with he Missouri. These
remains vi trees Cover the ground, on the
Missouri, at about latitude iOrty-eight, for a
distance of between twenty and thirty miles
lie writer states that the surface of the
earth Is literally covered with stumps, roots,
and limbs oi petriicd trees, broken and
thrown down by some pow erful convu lsion
OF nature, and scattered III all directions in
fragments. Many OF these stumps are said
10 be vi very large size, and one of them,
which vas accurately measured by The wri-
ter, 10 company with another officer, was
found TO be upwards of fifteen feet IN cir
cumlerence. Some of the trees are broken
off close TO the earth, and the siumps of
others stand at an elevation of several feet
above the surface. A singular circumsta nee
connected with the existence of these petrl-
he'd remains of trees is the elevation OF the
ground op which they are found IN greatest
abundance. The face of the country lhro'-
out the thirty miles over which these slngu.
lar relics are scattered is billy and much bro.
Ken into deep favlnes. MIR. Crossman, the
writer of the communication in the Illinois
Magazine, estimates that the SUBMITS of tne
hills are not less than three hundred feet a.
boye the present level Of the river but their
exact elevation was not asceitsincd from his
not having tho necessary instruments A
writer in the Philadelphia Chronicle, mott
cing the curious facts communicated by MIR.
CioSsman, concerning the petri6ed forest of
Missouri, regrets that he has neglected 10
state g whether the trees are a true petfifac.
lion, or only demonstration, and whether the
mineralzIng matter is silicious, calcarious,
or argillsceous."
