FROM the Rocky Mountains.

From the st. Louis Republican, June IL.
We yesterday had conversation with Mr.. Har.
se5, who has Just returned from the Falls of Mis-
souri, river, having ePsnt the last winter among
tas 'hiack"F Indians. trading and trapping.
Mr H. brings down It'll him considerable NUN
Der of rot,es and peltres. He sta,es that the sea
son has been unusually good, especially for buff
falo, and that great numbers have been killed by
the Indians The distance from the city to the
Falls of the Missouri river is about three thousand
miles. Mr. Harvey reports the river in good or
der, and rising all the way down. The party
came down in Mackinaw boats, and experienced
no difficulty, performing the journey in almost
incredible short period, having left on the 18th OF
April last. The snow in the mountains is not un
usually large, but has not commenced to melt yet.
Mr.. H. is of opinion that there will be quite a
freshet, owing to the very heavy rains ever since
the opening of spring, and which promised, when
he left, to continue some time This, in connex-
ion with the snow he thinks, will cause very high
waters.
He reports during the past winter great deal
of difficulty among the mountain tribes; war par
ties from among the Crows, Blackfeet, Flatheads,
&C., were constantly going out in search OF each
other, and stealing horses and taking scaps was
the favorite winter pastime He reports that nearly
two thousand horses and about thirty scalps were
brought in by various war parties of the Blackfeet
tribe during the winter. From the best informa-
ton we can gather, we are disposed to think this
tribe the most dangerous and intractable In the
mountains. They have no desire for peace, and
are constantly committing depredations upon the
neighboring tribes. The condition of the noun
tain Indians, we should think, was anything but
favorable; plumber and bIoodshed between each
other to be the order of the day; and it not
unffequently happens in their exploits that the
scalp of white man may be found decorating
their strings.
