eet, We encsmped again. - We supposed
within two miles &C che pOst-whieh had
by this time assumed The appearance Of
. tower Of great height and ciEcuufer>
ence. Several Of our men started of
that evening to examine the tower, the
ret Of US determining TO visit us the next
moaning. Instead Of being two miles
distant, as we had calculated. it proved
to be six miles from US. They travelled
pntil sunset to reach it. and got back to |
camp about 10 o'clock at night. The
traveller who has seen only the little kills
and narrow valleys of the East, is wholly
pnprepared to :.gusss" at distances here.
While the Creator there laid out the
face Of the earth by scale Of units. he
hsle laid it out by as many tens. There
0 mountain 500 feel high is the admira'
sion of all: here the mountains rise 5000
feet. The same comparison might be
Instituted in regard to the extent Of the
'leys and plains.
Ehs tower of-which I was speaking ia
.ed Chimney Rock. It is $50 feet 10
beigh,. Tbs. lower half is . pyramid
composed Ct rock about as hard and
much resembling white chalk. 1t is as
steep ON all sides as man can possibly
crawl up. From the TOP Of this pyramid
there rises q column Of some so feet in
diameter l25, high, Of even size all the
way up. aud little inclined to the east.
This tower stands on the broad plain Of
the Platte, about a mile from the bluffs.
on whish can be distinctly traced the
same strata as is found in the tower
showing to my mind coQek.siyely the
paauner Of its formation, wig /: That when
these vast deserts were thrown up from
the bed Of the ocean (as before intima~
ted,) here was bard spot ip the earth
which withstoodl the forge Of the rece-
ding waters, which were then lowing in
9 south easterly direction. This cut
corroboiates the idea Of geologists. who
suppose that our continent has been
swept BY a mighty delage from the
north<west. There are many enormous
piles OF nearly equal extent within ten
miles Of Chimney Rock. which ] cannot
stop to describe.
From this place to Fort Laramie, FIVE
days journey, there is little of interest
70 be seen. Vast plains. bounded on
the south by high perpendicular bluffs,
stretch along the south side Of the river,
while on the north side. hills of naked
sand are to be seen for q considerable
distance. The wild sage. which is all
most the only thing that looks like wood
between this and the Sierra Nevada, l
first saw At Ash Hollow. I verify
thought it was wormwood. It commons
y grows about three feet high. and its
stalk somewhat resembles grapevine
end when trod upon it emits strong.
bitter smell; Itgrows in punches about
six feet apart. Millions Of acres are thus
occupied With this loathsoms bush,
which seems to be stuck in here because
FstbiOg else will grow on, such barren
soil. and as q substitute for wood for the
Poor smigrant on his way to. the Pacific
coast. i likewise serves a, shelter for
lizards. WHICH are the only tenants of a

apprehension exists in San Salvador as to the de-
signs of the revolutionary or federal party in Hon
duras. The government of the former State has
laid hands upon number of private letters adj
dressed 70 individuals whose sympathies arc sup
posed to favor federalism. They are signed by
General Francisco Lope, the second in command
of the Honduras army; and intimated design to
invade San Salvador at the earliest practical mo-

war between Honduras and Guatsmah continues,
in the meantime, with relentless bitterness; war
of petty skirmishes, reprisals. and rapne, without
one heroic act or principle to dignity it.
