FROM THE MOUNTAINS.

Antonio Robidoux, who it was some time
since understood had been killed by the In,
dams in the Mountains, returned a few
days ago to St. Joseph. He has kindly
furnished US with some information which
we give to our readers. The facts in rea-
ton to the destruction Of the Tampaparha
Fort, are these: Some Eutaw Indians had
been killed by the Spaniards in Santa Fe,
from which the Fort was about 300 miles;
the Indians were incensed at this, and at
tackled the Fort for the purpose of killing
the Mexicans who were there; there were
three Mexicans in the Fort, all of whom
were massacreed; but one American was
there, who was spared and sent to let Mr.
Robidoux know (who was 100 miles dis
tanO that his peltries were unframed. Mr..
Il. states that the Indians manifested no
desire to injure him, and that they are gen.
orally friendly to the Americans. Mr.. r.
met the dragons within four days travel
of the South Pass, to which place they de-
signed going, and would return to Fort
Laramier. The foremost company of EN-
igrants were 100 miles behind COL Kear-
ny's company; the emigrants were pro-
crossing well and without much trouble,
except that the hindmost company of sew
teen wagons had been robbed of few
horses and some provisions by the Pawnee
Indians. They had however overtaken
and united with another company and an
tcipated no further trouble. The grass
near the Mountains is not so good as usual,
and the cattle were suffering.--S. Jos. Gdz.

THE GREAT CANAL;

Ga ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO DOL was
travelling near the sources of the Mononga.
hela river, and, in passing over a rough
country, at every short distance, met many
little streams, which could step over, bu,
all Of them were going the same way. Al
last asked one where he was goingl
"Why," replied the little riIl, 81 am going
to New Orleans. hear the people there
want great canal, thousand miles long
and fifteen hundred feet wide, and am go
ing to help make it,"
"And pray wha! can you do' can step
over YOU"
81 don't know what can do, but shall
be there.''
And so saying, it hurried on. came to
another, and asked the same question, and
received the same answer. All were hur.
rying on, to make the grand canal, in which
the steamship Of the west, with their heavy
burdens, were to be transported.
At the head Of the Allegheny, the Scioto
and the Mississippi, found thousands more
Of little streams, hurried on by the same i'm
pulses, and which, while yet spoke to them,
passed out Of sight. None knew what he
could do, but all were determined to do some
thing.
passed on, till came to the mighty Mis-
sissipp, and there found the great canal
was made! The noble steamships rode
proudly on its surface, and when its waters
diminished, they were again replenshed to
the brlm, by every mountain spring and
every stream.
Thus do the little rills mako the stream,
the stream the river, till the united waters
Of the whole pour on their way, rejoicing,
to the glorious ocean. So is one man 10
the multitude, and the multitude TO the
grand tide ofhuman life. Each little mortal.
weak and weary though he be, can do
something in making up the mighty stream
Of human events, as it rolls on TO the ocean
Of eternity.

The Northeastern Boundary Surrey.-We
learn from one Of the parties attached 10 the
government surveys along our northeastern boun-
Diary that their surveys are about concluded -
Three parties commenced operations about the
LIST OF May-one nnder the charge OF Lieutenant
Emery, of the Typographical Bureau, who sur.
veyed the line from the third Of the Connecticut
Lakes to the head Of the Dead river, the poin.
where the survey closed last year. The second
party was under the charge OF Lieutenant War.
ner, also OF the Typographical Bureau, whose du.
ty it was to survey the route from Canaan west.
The third party was under the charge OF Mr.
Longfelow, Of Portland, who surveyed the route
from the head Of Hall Stream (where the boun.
Diary defined by the treaty begins 10 take the
highlsnds) to the third Connecticut Lake. The
first Of these parties closed their work on the
Sd iostant, and the other two will close their field
service in few days. The three parties num-
bered, all told, between two hundred and three
hundred persons. Many of them being attached
to the C2mmissary departments, and some
OF whom are known as ''sackers" or packmen
The service Of these men is particularly arduous
their duty being 10 bring the provisions upon
their backs over country that is not passable
except for men. Their pay is thirty dollars
month, with their provisions. Mr.. Smith, the
Commissioner, was at Canaan last and pre-
viously at Rouses Point on Lake Champlain.
where Major Graham, the head OF the surveying
party, is engaged in taking astronomical obserya,
tons.
The work OF the surveying parties have been
concluded two months earlier than was antc.
ipated. The engineers, we understand, will CON-
plete their work al Washington, under the Girec
ton OF the respective officers employed on the
line. Great credit sdue 10 all concerned for the
vigilant manner in which they have thus far
prosecuted their labors.
The parties have suffered severely from the
black flies, which are little monsters IN their way
whose bite is poisonous, and more annoying than
that OF mosquito. The whole party lived and
lodged in camps, and, notwithstanding the warm
weather we have had, have been compelled 10
have fires and blankets every night since the
commencement Of the surveys.
We hear bad accounts OF the country SURVEYED
There are no settlements, and no clearings,
nothing but forests, but these fine specimens Of
hard wood land, and occasionally few pine and
much spruce and fir. The spruceis mag nifcent,
but where nobody will be able to make use OF

the forest was cut through for the boundary
line, and monuments Of cast iron, four feet above
the ground, and etered Treaty of Wash
ington, Northeastern Boundary" and the
names OF commissioners OF the two Governments
are placed along the line. The line surveyed
the present season was the one surveyed by the
British Government last year. The survey being
a scientific one, Of course there are no disagree
ments between the scientific corps OF the two
GovernmenIs-tN. Y, Express.
