From the Rocky Mountains.
A few days ago we mentioned the arrival from
the Rocky Mountains of the steamer Robert Camp
bell. The Campbell went one hundred and eighty
miles beyond the mouth of the Yellowstone having
made the upward trip distance of 2 400 miles, in
forty-two days. The ST. Joseph Cycle, in noticing
the arrival Of the Campbell, describes some Of the
specimens she brought down -
:" She comes on her return voyage freighted down
with buffalo robes skins, and fiirs of almost every
description, with smart sprinkng of the vile war
mints that inhabit that wild regon. The kind and
gentlemany captain invited us on board to take a
look at his Rocky Mountain menagere, as he called
it; and on going aft the first thing we saw was an
Indian pony, beautiful specimen Of the wild horse.
The next we came to, two half grown grizzly bears,
the terror Of the hunter and trapper. One Of them
the larger, confined In strong cage made Of strong

to be very Indifferent to all that was go ne on around
him. The next in succession was half grown elk,

The engineer corps who were passengers on her,

arrival OF Gov. Stevens and his party, who started
by land from St. Paul. some six weeks ago. Col.
Vaughn, who was also passenger they dropped at
Fort Pierre. The officers report the river rising con-
sdcrably at the Yellowstone when they left. Every
