IMrosiNe SToNEs.--Mr. J. w. Sanders, one Of
eur most experienced pressmen, has invented new
iron imposing stone which is pronounced capital
invention. This is the age ofiron. One Of the ad-
yantages ofthis stone is the easy manner in which
she form is taken off and replaced, by having gear
attached 10 it. 30 that the form be raised
or lowered by means of crank, which brings il
down 10 the floor without the labor of lifting, tn,
great danger of falling out. For large forms, es
pecially, this stone must become indispensable. II

P. Chouteau, jr., & Co. She left Fort Union on
the 18th instant There is no news by her of i'm
portance. The Indians were quiet and generally
healthy, with the exception Of the smallpox, which
still prevailed TO some extent among the different
tribes. The st. Ange assembled forty or forty five
miles above the Yellow Stone; but, from the low
stage OF the riverthere being less than two feet
ter on the bars-she was compelled to return, not
getting within some fifteen or twenty miles OF the
point attained by the Ell Paso last seaeon. The
steamer Robert Campbell was met, on her way up,
short distance above Fort Pierre, apparently get.
ting on finely there had been little sickness, and
but one death on board up to that point Il was
Thought she would be able to make Fort Union
about the 25th or 26th of the present month.
- The 81 Ange left this city on the 7tb of June,
and was out going and returning, just So days
IL longer thal she performed the same voyage last
season. From this commencement to the close
almost of the ppper trip, II rained incessantly,
which, together With wind and sickness on board,
detained the boat ct lenst ten or fifteen days AT
one time there were moro than half the voyageurs
down with cholera and ovsses diseases a passen-
ger inorms that sixty strewed the CABIN floor
at once, and OF this great aiction there were but
fourteen deaths. Eleven voyageurs The fourth en-,
gncer, passenger by the name of Wilcox, and
the Rev. Father Hockn, ALL or nearly all, died oi
cholera in its worst form.
The voyageurs and others were buried at differ
ent points along the river, but Rev. Father Hockn
was preserved, and brought TO St. Charles yester
day. on board the st. Ange, for interment at Flo
isant
The officers report the river falling all the way
with from two and quarter to four feet in the
channel from Yellow Stone to Council Bluffs, and
thence sSwn four and half to six feet on all the
bars.
The Rev Father De Smet, and DIR. Evans, Uni
ted States geologis, who went up passengers. were
left at Fort Union, forty-eight miles above the
mouth of the Yellow Stone. Father De Smet
would frat visit the Crow Indians, and then re-
pair to the Indian coenoil at Fort Laramie, where
he would be mose likely to meet the neadmen o
many of the tribes he designed visiting.
DR.. Evans had already made preparations to star
for Fort Benton Mt the falls of the Missouri whence
he would proceed Immediately to Oregon, accom-,
