The Rocky Mountdins.---The Cinctn-
natl Commercial Advertiser, in copy
ing the following article from the ~.
Louis Beacon, remnrks:-"It is but a
few wears since such place as the
Rocky Mountains was known to exist,
except as a place inaccessible to man.
They are already a source OF great
wealth to the enterprising citizens OF
the West; and where i. was represent
ed man could scarcely make his way,
,cagons 90 aud come with perfect ease
and facility--bringing loads Of Furs
of Immense value. La a few years, u
trip TO the Pacific, by the way OF the
Rocky Mountains, will be no more OF
an undertaking than was Journey
from the Atlantic cities TO Missouri
twenty years ago. Well and truly
may il be eaid that
"wostward the Star Of Empire takes i''
way"
We noticed, two weeks ago, the re-
turn of Messrs. Smith, Sublctte and
Jackson, from the Rocky Mountains
and stated that they had taken tot
wagons out and back again. We now
q iearn.from them there was an error IL

ten. They left St. Louis the 10th of n
pril last with these ten wagons, eacf
drawn by five mules, arrived at thu
Southern Pass, which is the place o
rendezvous for the traders on the l6tl
f. July; loaded with fhrs previously col
lected; set out on the return on thu
ath Of August, and arrived at st. Lou
is on the lIth Of October. The wag
ons did not cross the Mountains; bu
there was nothing to prevent thei
crossing and going to the mouth ofth'
Columbia. The furs were az the place
ofrendezvous, and that was as far n
the wagons needed to go. They coul'
have crossed the mountains at .th'
.Somhern Pass, which is at the head o
Wind river, without difficulty. Mess
Smith, Sublette g. jackson are the frs
that ever took wagons to the Rock.
Mountains. The ease with which the,
did it aud could have gone on to thu
mouth Of the Columbia, shews the fol
Wand nonsense Of those "scisntifc'
characters who talk of the Rock,
Mountains as the barrier which is t.

lean people. These gentlemen, wh'
have made this extraordinary expedit
ion, were initiated into the rich fur re
gion of the Rocky Mountains by Gen
Ashley, and are his successors in tina
business, he having retired from il
