Fort Laramie.

"Fort Lamarie is situated an Laramie's
creek, a rapid stream, about 60 yards
wide, with a firm, pebbly bottom. This
stream rises among the Black hills to
the west, and falls into the North Platte
about half-mile below the fort.
"This fort is built in the form Of a
quadrangular figure, and of unbaked
clay or adobes; the wall is about twenty
feet high, with small palisading on a
part OF it. There are two block-houses
at the corners, diagonally from each
other. Over the main entrance, which
faces the river, there is also another
small block-house. The buildings are
made inside, the wall forming part of
them. They are very small, and have
but few comforts to recommend them.
"There are no trees about the fort to
protect it from the rays of the sun, which
are reflected from the surrounding hills.
1t is by no means handsome location,
the scenery of the adjacent country be.
ing entirely intercepted by small barren
hills, which form the valley of Lara
mics creek. The hunting at this place
has generally been very good, and its
only attraction but even this has great
ly diminished since the emigrants have
made it the great thcroughfare to Ore
gon and California.
"There is no grazing on Laramie's
creek, where hay may be gathered in
the fall. Wood is scarce Immediately
in the vicinity of it, but pine and ce.
dar may be procured on the hills across
the Platte, about eight miles above here

From Major Cross report of the march
of the Mounted Rihemen to Oregon, we
take the following extracts:
An Antelope,

"June 6th.-While quietly vending
our way along the Platte to-day | saw
for the first time an antelope, and was
somewhat disappointed i'll its appear
ance; there was not that beauty in its
form that | expected to find, from the
descriptions SO often given of 'the swift
footed antelope when compared with
the deer, and consider it by no means
as handsome or as delicately proper
toned. At distance, however, it is
much the same. The head Of this ami
NAL is very much like that of sheep;
the body appears shorter than the deer,
with hair much coarser and longer. 1t
stands very erect, and leaps with much
quickness, gathering its feet, apparently,
at the same time, Immediately under it.
Its curiosity exceeds any animal have
ever seen, except the mountain goat.
When it first saw me, it approached al
most within gunshot, when, stopping for
a few minutes, it ran off for short dis
lance and turned again, apparently to
satisfy its curiosity. 1t then ran parallel
to the road, getting sometimes ahead and
then returning, If I stopped suddenly,
or there was anything to attract its atten-
ton still more, it would run directly to-
wards me until its curiosity was fully
satisfied, and then bound off with great
rapidity over the prairie until out OF
sight. 1t is much lighter in color than
the deer, particularly on its sides, breast
and headquarters; this, with a black
stripe which it has about the eyes, gives
it striking appearance, though it does
not add much to its beauty"
