HshersC Cincinnati.
W. have received from the publishers a
copy of ills exceedingly valuable work,
which contains the cream of over fifty
separate narratives of traveIo of those who
may be styled the representative travellers
of the lasthaff century, in the remote and
less known regions of the world. Their
works are comprised in about ninety vol
umes, are published in several different
languages, and probably could not be Purr--
chased for less than $3.50; indeed, many
of them are ont Of print, and not to be had.
Since the year 1900, there have been
more important explorations than in any
previous ten centuries in the history Of
the world; but the records of these ex.
.nlnratiops make library of many hun.
-dred volumes. Fewica afford the money
to purchase, or the time to read a 1.-THE
of them. Hence a work like this of Bay
ard Taylor's is greatly needed. By ju-
diciouse selection, and condensation he has
brought together in this volume of a thou
sand pages, nearly every thing that we
need to know in regard to the travels II
Asia, Africa and America, since our cen
fury began; and he has succeeded won
.derfully in preserving the life and spirit
of the original narratives His omissions
and condensations are generally real i'm
provements, relieving the account of use
less matter, and making it more graphic

Col NoBLE, superintendent of the wag-
on road 70 the South Pass, IS now p this
city. The expedition is for the present
suspended, his encampment west of the
Big Sioux having broken up on the 18th,
on account of his further progress being
violently opposed by the Yankton Indians,
and his party ~retreated to the Big Woods,
about eightyCmiles westo Fort Ridgely'
The objections raised by the Yanktons
to Col. Mobiles party crossing their
country is, that they would brighten
away the buffalo, their only means Of sub
~sistanee. Col. Noble, before leaving the
Indians, appointed the Doth of August-tO
hold a council with the Yanktons to treat
for the right Of way across their territory.
Should negotiations fail, it is the inten-
ton of Col Noble to proceed with the
duties assigned him by the government,
despite of hostilities. -

loss. The American loss was triffing.
Accounts state that the machinery of the
steamer getting out Of order, the expedition
returned to Punta Arenas, where the neces-
sary repairs were hurr iedly made ind the
boat started again. I,was thought by those

their position. He then returned to Rivas.
Gen. Walkers entire force was 1890 men,
of which 1900 were fit for duty and in ex-
celient health and spirits. He had supplies
of provisions and ammunition for three
months.
