The RIO GRAEDE.-Wo presume our

de, Rio Braro and Rio del Norte are so
many different names of he same great
River, which rises in the Southern slope Of
the Rocky Mountains and runs nearly duo
South almost 200 miles into the Gulf Of
Mexico. Its course is in good part thro'
:hinly peopled desert, in some places
mountainous in others composed Of wide,
fertile plains. Valuable mines Of Gold
and Silver exists in the province Of Santa,
Fe, some 1850 miles from its mouth
The River is generally rapid and rocky
rendering nav CATION dangerous if not i'm
possible, but we believe il may be acended
by steamboats, some 4 TO $50 miles. Mafa-
