Return Of the Exploring Expedition from
Oregon.

A Geographic despatch from st. Louis of the 9Th
instant informs us that Captain Stansbury, topo-
graphical engineer, and party, who had been sent
by the Government to explore the regions of the
Utah mountains in Oregon, to the valleys of Great
Salt Lake and Utah Lakes, arrived in that city on
the evening previous.
.'The party having left Fort Leavenworth in
May, ls49, have been out on this expedition for up
wards OF twelve months, and have returned in good
health. The Mormons spoken of in high terms
by Captain s. tor having afforded the party consd-
cradle aid in their explorations, and for their in
dustry in adding cultivated territory to the Union
in a place where ordinary civilization would not
have reached for years and where need thriy-
ing and agricultural population, between the At
lantic and Pacific.
"The exploring party left the city of Salt lake
tho 2Sth of August. At the outskirts of the town
the first Mormon train was met; afterwards trains
we're encountered, all getting along finely. 1t is
estimated that AT least twelve hundred wagons
will have reached the city of Salt Lake this
from the S.aies. The crops were all good in the
valley.
Captain s. and his party were charged upon by
party Of Snake indiana, who did no harm,
the asssilants discovering that preparations were
being made TO receive them, and that they had
mistaken the party for Utahs, with whom they were
at war.
'Sioux and Cheney Indians were met in large
numbers. They very friendly. Several tribes
OF Indians were at war with each other.
Captain =. met Owens Suter at Fort Hall. His
train had been robbed by the Crow Indians in South
Pass
"Liyingston's and Kinke,d's train met at Fort
Bridges on the 10th Of September, where the first
United States mail arrived on the 9th; the second
was met on the 18th Of October.
Captain Tuttle's train met the 9th Of
October, thirty-hvo miles beyond Fort Kenrnoy,
and Richards train at the head OF tho Little Blue,
the next day"

Miss I4ISD's FfRsT MoRsISo CoNcERr.--We find
the following notice Of Miss Lind's first morning
concert in the New York Ern.ing Post Of the llth
instant, from which it would appear that her morn
ing concerts take place in the afternoon;
'Miss Lind gave her first Matinee musicale at
Trpler Hall yesterday at one o'clock. The hall
was filed, but not crowded, by an audience OF a
somewhat different texture from what we have been
accustomed Co see at her evening concerts. There
was = larger sprinkling OF fashion, and more lib
eral representation Of old men, young children, and
venerable nurslings. Mics Lind's costume wac
that in which she has appeared on any previous
oagiou in this city.
1--WE arc indebted TO lady friend who was pre-
cent for n technical description Of il. She wore a
pale green silk, low corsage, thin white over skirt,
closely tucked almost TO the waist; spencer Of the
same, closo in the throat, with long sleeves, md
finished Mt the wrists and neck with narrow black
velvet trimmings. A bright scarlet sash com
pleted this tasteful costume. She was in excellent
voice, and sang "On mighty Pens" and 81 know
that my Redeemer iivctn'-hor first two pieces
with remarkable impressiveness and power. Tho
audience were delighted with her, as usual, and
complimonted her with rounds Of applause At the
conclusion Of every piece.
I'VE are happy 20 cay that the experimental
morning concert wss decidedly successful. and NC
trust that Miss Lind may repeat the entertain
mcnt, while she remains with US, "a often ne pos
lblo. They arc very convenient 70 the aged, the
inhrm, and married and unmarried females,
whose age, health, domestic duties, or want Of
male attendance, would prevent some or all from
attending her evening performances. We are
satished that they would coon be most numerOusly
attended and popular"

Surgical Operation.

On Thursday an operation of some import
ance was performed at the Inhrmary In this
city by DIR. j. f. MAY, assisted by Drs. MILLER,
JOHNSTON, STONE, and GARNET, of this city,
and Drs. WETHERsPooN and COOLIDGE of the
u. S. army. The patient was RICHARD EA-
TON, aged thirty seven years. He has for
many years lived in this city, and followed
huckstering, ducking, &C., as means OF sup
port. He has been a man of tolerable even lie
and comfortable way of living, 50 far as his
pursuits would admit, and of naturally good
constitution. Three years ago he was taken
with white swelling, or a scrolulous degenera-
ton of the knee Joint, as we believe his atiec-
ton is technically termed. For seven months
past he has been bedrdden, and it was the opln-
ion ofhis medical advisers that he could not sur
vive another month if the continuity ofthe disease
could not be arrested. His knee was as large
as his head and the limb was badly affected !,
in all its parts, up TO the hip. He evinced
much courageous determination, and calmly
| awaited the operation, which, we must here re-
mark, a patient hds seldom Smyiced. The pre-
parations were all well made, and very large
number of spectators We're assembled, when
chloric ether was administered. DR.. MAY then
dismticulaled the hip joint, and removed the
| entire limb, in a lille oper thirty seconds! In
twenty minutes ligatures were applied to the
twelve arteries without the loss of more than
half pint of blood When the patient awoke
he was asked where was the seat of his pain!
lie replied that his knee and foot panied him
He was then told that the limb had been en-
,irely removed. He smiled in incredulity
| and could not, for some time, believe the as
surances of those around him. The sur
geons sat by him about three-q quarters Of al
hour before they finally dressed the part
lest secondary hemorrhage should ensue. Ht
| passed the evening and night WELL and yester
day was cheerful and in high spirits, eating
freely the food presented to him, and ever
smoking cigar quite rakishly Thus far al
! indications are wonderfully favorable; but the
| surgeons do not encourage sanguine hopes o
final recovery. The operation has, as we have
said, very seldom been finally successful, ant
in the present instance the lips of the wounc
are not wholly unaffected by the disease tina
was ascending in his person. We will hereaf
ter announce any decisive change that may
occur in his condition.

JENNY LISDs yIsIT TO THE BLIND.-The New
says:
son Tuesday last Jenny Lind, in company with
two or three friends, visited the asylum for the
blind on saith street. Her intention to favor tho
institution with her presence was entirely unknown
TO the superintendent, Mr.. Chamberlain, and the
inmates, but the occasion OF none the less inter-
est. After introduction TO Mr.. Chamberlain, and
some little time spend in agreeable conversation
Miss Lind expressed the high qualification II would
afford her 10 sing two three songs for the enter
tainment of the pupils, and bell was at once rung
and the school, without suspicion Of the pleasure
that was in store for thcm assembled in the chapel
When informed of the reason for calling them to-
gether, they manifested the most joyful surprise
! Miss Lind took her seat at the piano. and sang
three or four of her choicest melodies, among which
was her celebrated Bird Song, 20 the inc 1prcssbe
| delight Of her sightless hearers. That delight,
however, was not manifested by any outburst Of
applause, or in any of the ordinary concert room
methods, but by glowing countenances and happy
smiles, evincing heir keen sensibility to the ex-
quisite music. After the singing was finished, the
pupils crowded around the artist with the greatest
interest and familiarity, and were received with all
that grace and tenderness, and sympathy, which
so peculiarly characterize her on all occasions.
She took them by the hand, spoke 10 them cheer
ing words, and soon her goodness IA completely
won their love "a her genius bad won their admi-
ration. Miss Lind before leaving expressed the
high qualification che had derived, and intimatod
an intention TO revisit the school If possible. Her
visit lasted about hour and half, and will form
a memorable epoch in the lives of these poor unfor
Inmates"
