Mn. EpIroR:-I see by your paper Of
the 18th inst, that you have in ccntsmpla-
ton an excursion up Salt River, bu, as
there was some probability OF its being
turned into Hats affair, you had con-
cluded to postpone il. Your information
is correct as to the state enterprise, ex-
cept that the expedition IS to move up Ne
braska instead of Salt River. The wings
have inhabited the Salt River country so
long, that they have destroyed nearly all
the timber, and worn out the land. Gov

will probably accompany it, aud, IN case
he does 50, he contempIates remaining
some sir Yeors, with the view Of becom-
ing more intimately acquainted with the
great doctrines Of 'squa,tcr soyerclgnty,
and non.intervention. Occasional runs
and traces OF civilization Indicate that the
