FROM THE FAR WEST.

Col. Kearney, of The 1st regiment of
drag returned TO ST. Louis on the 30th
ult.. from his Rocky Mountain expedition
Col X. left Fort Lcavenworth on the
18th of May, with Eve companies of his
regiment, marched through the South
Pass Of the NJ fountains, then to the waters
of Green river or the Colorado Of the west
which flows TO tile Pacific Ocean, return
ed through the South Pass, then marched
towards the south, keeping near the base
of the Rocky Mountains, and struck the
Arkansas about 100 miles from Toas, and
$50 miles from Santa Fe. They then mar.
ched down the Arkansas and reached Fort
Leavenworth on the oath of August, hav-
ing marched upw ards OF 2l00 miles in less
than 100 days, driving cattle with them,
which they ate when they could not get
game, their horses depending entirely up.

From the roint where the Dragons struck
the Arkansas, tLey marched on the Santa
Fe road, meeting several parties of tra-
ders with many wagons, and heavily load
ed. on their way out.
We also learn that councils were held
with the Sioux, ebay and other In
dians, wlo were told by Col. X. that he
had now opened that road for tue whi e
men, and that their great father would not
consent that any Indian or Indians should
molest the whites or their property, upon
it-that the emigrants to Oregon and the
Santa Fe traders must not be disturbedi
as they were passing peaceably and quiet
" through the country. He told the In
dians, however, that If they found any
white men bringing any whiskey or liquor
into their country, that they should spill

will do. 8s
