CAPT. MARcY's EXPEDITION. .-SurUey Of
the Red R,uer.-Capt. Marcy, during his
late expedition, completed the topographic
al examination and survey ofthe Red River.
in which he hascngagcd for several ycars.--
The 81. LaniS Republican says:
lie has followed the North Fork, the Mid
die and the South Fork Of the Red River to
its source, about forty miles from Anton
Chicot, ia New MEXICO. In some places
he found the South Fork river half mile
wide, but parakng very much Of the char
acter of the Patte---shallow, with sandy
bed, and much of it, except when high, un-
covered by water. For two hundred and
fifty miles from Fort Arbuckle, west, the
country is represented as the finest in the
world for farming purposes. The land is
well timbercd with oak, pecan and other fine
trees the atmosphere pure and healthy us
the mountainsofNew England, and inviting
the emigration of the white man. Very
soon they will be found there. Game Of ev-
cry kind is abundant, and 'hc command had
excellent sport in Killing bears, panthers, an
telupes, buffaloes, &c.
The waters of the Red River, in parts ex-
plorcd by this expedition has been condemn
ed on account of its salty taste ,unlit has been
generally supposed that there were large
beds of salt toward its sources, but this is
! found not to be the case. The presence of
gypsum, in large bodies, high up the river,
is supposed to give to the water this peculiar
| flavor, as, above these roipts, the water is
pure aud agreeable.
We understand that, so far from the com
mand having suffered from the attack of the
Indians, they encountered no hostility
whatever. They did not even lose Il
Nurse or mule, aud the men suffered very
little from sickness.
/ lIoRsE SruNG TO DEATH NY BEES, We
learn from the Delaware Journal, that u
horse belonging to Mr.. Hopes, of Mill
rrcek Hundred, tied near beehive, few
days ago, was attacked by the whole hive,
and maddened by the pain, he broke loose,
and covered with bees, he started for an ud-
joining field, where he died in Il short time
afterwards. The bees next attacked the
horse of DR.. McCabr, tied near the same
spot, and before he could be rescued was
nearly dead from being severely stung. DR..
McCabe, in his efforts to save bis horse e was
also badly stung. The bees were finally
disabled, at the suggestion ofa lady, by
drenching them with water while ON the
horses.

CENTRAL ONO RAILRoAD-AH under Con-

vile Courier is of gratifying interest to the
citizens ofthis community and the friends of
the C. w. & u Railroad:--
1--WE are just informed. that the Directory
WHIrTEMoRE g. &C., Of Burlington, VT, for
the graduation and masonry of all of the
previously unlet portion of the road, togeth-
er with the furnishing of cross-tcs aud the
ballastiug and track-laying of the whole
road from Zanesyillc to Wheeling. lii
The time fixed for the completion of the
graduation is the list of January, 1854. Upon
forty miles Of the line from GAINESVILLE east,
the rail is to be laid next summer, and by
fall will extend our railway track within
forty miles of the Baltimore aud Ohio ROad.
Upon the remainder of the line the track is
to be laid as fast as the sections are graded,
and by year from next spring, at Iurthest,
tn presumption is that we shall be in COM
plete and direct railway connection with the
whole of the seaboard cities
The contractors have the reputation of
men of large means, and of extended expe-
ricnce in railroad building. Having formed
II very high estimate Of the prospective val
ue and Importance of the central road, they
came resolved to associate themselves with
its opening, and have accordingly, it is be-
! licved, agreed to terms which few young
enterprises could command. AS an evi-
dencc of their confidence in the road, they
agreed to take 80 per cent. in the stock of
/ the company .,,...-.. ...

California AdUeRtHrerS.- were re-
ceiyed here yesterday from Messrs. Grim e.
Sturgeon and several of the members OF
their company, from which we learn that
they reached Salt Lake on the nth of July,
the letters are dated at that city, July lS.-
Their stock was doing we'll, except some
loss Of fesh. Some Of the poorest were
traded there for cattle. Mr.. Grim writes
that Salt Lake city is quite curiosity, stu
ated in a beautiful valley, 1enr the base of
the Rocky Mountains, and the inhabitants,
who are all NJ lrmons, have an abundance of
everything for the sustenance of man and at
reasonable prices. Wheat sells at 81 per
bushel; Flour at $2,5 per cwt; Butter l5c;
Eggs the same, &c. Mr.. Grim also says
that ''he. found the M0rmons as clever as
any people in the world can be, and as great
trading people as ever he saw"
The company was to leave Salt Lake on
the 35th ofJuly for Marysville, distance oil
$50 miles, and they expected to reach that
place in 35 or 40 days. Mr. Grim also states
that it is great road and he thinks he will
not trouble it again. 1t is stated in one o.
the letters that some ten or twelve ol the
company had purchased some cattle and hal
proceeded on their own hook, expecting
to arrive sooner than the main body. They
had some sickness along the route.
