Peri!OuS ExpediliOn in Minnesota,

Mr.. A. Randall, of the u s. Geological Corps, ac-
companed by his assistant Major M. Dagger, of Iowa.
reached this place on Wednesday, July 10, from the
sources Of the Des Monies river, which he has ex-
pored from its mouth. He has also made critical
examination of the Coeau des Prairie west of the rv-
er and the western portion of the Undine Region of
Ncoet the east. AT ST. Peters, and in the midst Of
buffalow country, he encountered large party Of
the Sssiton Sioux Indians who robbed him of his hor-
SEES, clothing provisions and everything except his pa
pers and collections, breaking his Instruments &C.
He was then permitted to depart His sufcrings
would have been nsuppotable had he not met on the
evening of the second day, with camp of Fox Indi
aDs-whch belongs on the Usage river, west of Mis-
souri, from whom he obtained miserable pony, ca
pable of packing the little left by the Indians.
Mr. R. after being robbed, changed his cours to
nearly south, abandoning his geological and botanical
but continuing his geological and Typographical col
lectons and observations and arrived at this village
after nine days march, much crippled, and nearly ex-
hansted from the hardships he had undergone After
reaching the head waters of the Iowa river, he shaped
his course directly for this place. passing the beau
tifu ridge country denomnated OH Nicoletss map as
the Mini Akipan Kaduza.
Although he was much nearer Fort Smelling than
Fort Crawford and within 40 so miles of the st. Pc
ters river he considered it the safest course to turn
SOUTH he would be less apt to meet with hostile In
fence The Indians ordered him to go south, and
sgni6ed, by sprnging their bows and drawing their
knives their throats what would be the result Of
disobedience.
Mr. Randall speaks in the highest terms of the coun-
try which he raVersed for beauty, agricultural cape
ity and mineral resources. Coal was found for 200
miles on the Des Monies, and from Indications heavy
deposits of iron ore are believed to exist. Gypsum in
abundance forming cliffs for miles were encountered
article that is very important in the arts, and exten,
svey used in the East for agricultural purposes This
must prove of immense value to the West, this is
the great valley of the Mississippi Limestone, that
makes a superior hydraulic lime exists in abundance
Limestone suitable for lime, clay suitable for bricks
rocks suitable for polishing, for grndsones, whetstones
and for building purposes, some of superior quality
are found in abundance along the Des Monies river
There is great abundance of water power in the
whole region over which he has passed, and timber
plenty throughout most of the country.-Prairie d.

Report on Powder ExnlOSiAn.

Ordered to be published in all The papers Of this village.
To the Corporation Of the Village of Montpelier:
The undersigned balHs of the village of
Montpelier, who were appointed committee to
ascertain the facts relative to the late explosion
of gun powder on the premises Of Mr.. Erastus
Hubbard, respectfully report the following to be
the material facts, so far as they can be learned :
That there were in the store, at the time of
the explosion, three full kegs of powder and
parts of two more; six half pound canisters, full
and sealed two fifteen pound canisters, both
supposed to be partly filled; and one six pound
canister partly full.
AS to the manner in which the accident oc-
Cured, it appears that Mr.. Hubbard lit piece
of fuse, for the purpose of exhibiting its quality,
and threw the burning piece upon the floor, near
the three Is and 8 ID. canisters powder, put.
ting his foot upon the fuse to extinguish it; and
that instantly succeeding that act, the explosion
occurred
The quantity of powder which might lawfully
be kept is twenty pounds and by the village or
dnan"e, that quantity can be kept lawfully on
y by the consent of majority of the bailiffs ;
and any person authorized by them to keep pow
der, is required to put up a sign, in some con-
spicuous spot on his building, bearing the words
Licensed to sell powder :" none of which con-
dtions had been complied with in this case.
