NATURAL BLIDGE IN TRINITY CoUSTY.-Over q
small stream which Falls into the Hay Fork Of
the Trinity River, there is a curious natural
bridge. A writer in the Christian Advocate re-
marks that the bridge is rocky arch Of eighty
feet base, by twenty high in the centre. 1t is
about one hundred and fifty feet from the cen
tire rim Of the arch to the summit Of the rock
above, and the entire width of the bridge is
some two hundred feet. The surface is not level
and before carriages or railways shall pass over
the bridge, there is a chance for little brush
of the hand of art. It is reached BY a trail
passing up the stream from the south bank OF
the Hay Fork. The time will come when this
bridge and neighboring cave, distinguished
for its beautiful stalagmites, will attract the
visits Of the students Of Nature and the lovers
Of the marvellous,

Another Expedition 70 the mountains.

We are glad to know that the United States
government has sent out another expedition,
under the command OF Lieut.. G. r. Warren, to
explore the country lying between the Yellow
Stone on the west, the Missouri on the north
and east, and the Platte on the south. Lieut.
Warren was once before sent out by the Gov
ernnmeut, and bis report upon the country of
the Dacotahs has been read with more than
ordinary interest. He goes now to explore au
unknown region more extensive than three
such States as Kentucky. About this region
little or nothing is known except from Indians,
whose information has long since proved to be
unreliable in matters of geography.
Lieut.. Warren has been directed to explore
the sources of the Cheyenne and Little Missouri
rivers for the purpose of determining whether
or not our geographers have any authority for
putting down these rivers upon the map as hav-
ing their sources in mountains. The traditions
of Indians, and the reports of hunters aud fur
traders, have induced our geographers to put
down upon the map Of this country bounded by
the Yellow Stone, Missouri aid Platte rivers,
chain of mountains extending from north east
to southwest, which divide this couatry into
two parts. This chain of mountains they call
the Black Hills, and they lo9k as formidable
upon our maps as the Rocky or Allegheny
Mountains. 1t has been ascertained, however,
by the previous Government surveys, one OF
which Lieut.. Warren himself commanded, that
! these Black Hills do not extend north of the
country embraced between the Yellow Stone,
Missouri and Platte rivers,
1t is believed that these Black Hills are q
mere creation Of the fancy, and that thorough
explorations will determine that no such formi-
dabe barriers exist to impede passage from
the Valley of the Mississippi to the foot of the
Rocky Mountains. If this be true, there will be
no difficulty in constructing the contemplated
military road from the mouth of the Sioux river
to Fort Laramie 1t is part of the order un-
der which Lieut.. Warren goes QUIT survey the
course of the Eau-qui Court and the Loup Fork
of the Platte Rivers for the purpose of deter
mining the practcability of this military road
which, when it reaches Fort Laramie, will pro-
ceed through the south pass of the Rocky Noun
tains to the regions Of the Pacific.
This, and similar explorations sent out by the
Government Of late years, are proving of incal-
culable advantage to our country. They are
rapidly developing the resources Of vast ter
ritory heretofore supposed to be uninh2hltable,
while they are determining the fact also that
vast regions supposed to be habitable, are ut
terly unfit for civilized man. In addition to
the important geographical knowledge brought
to light by these expeditions, they afford em-
ployment for our typographical engineers, who
might otherwise remain idle. They open a
field for fame to the enterprising young man OF
the corps, while they impart to the world infor-
nation that would otherwise be at the expense
Of much blood and e,-Lo1isoaIs CbeeFter.

r,rentr-three INDIAN. IxillstI.

From an extra of the Yreka Union we extract
the following r.,....,,.,
"By letter just received by ]. K. Mccall
from Lieut.. Crook, dated Fort Crook, July 2eth
we are placed in possession of the following in-
teresting particulars in relation to the war
against the Pitt River Indians :; On the Z1th,
Lieut.. Crook returned to the fort from ten
days scout was dry aud unsuccessful, as the In.
dams had all left the Valley and its vicinity.
On the seventh day out they came on single
track, and, following it some distance, they kill
ed one Indian. The Indians on an adjacent
rancheria heard the report OF guns, fled, aud all
escaped to the mountains. On the evening Of
the eighth day, they espied small camp in the
edge Of large valley, some sixty-fye miles cast
Of the fort, aud struck camp the next morning
at two o'clock, and made a daylight attack
The Indians were camped under rocky ledge,
and when the troops got immediately over them
one of them gave the alarm, when to the sur
prise Of Lieut.. Crock, nearly, or quite one hun.
dred and fifty warriors sprang up and broke
for the plains, l s6i bslag 97ei oga
In the gallant Lieutenaut's language, the
troops ''pitched in pell-mell, and had glorious
fight leaving twenty-three dead on the ground
that they knew Of and nine wounded; besides
there must have been a great many more killed
and wounded that they could not tell anything
about" II his provisions had held out, he
would have killed many more, but he was oblig-
ed to hurry off the field and return to camp.
On the same day of the fight they marched about
thirty miles on their way back to the fort.
Our townsman, Mr.. Jacob Marks, was along
with Lieut. Crook, (the only volunteer) on his
scout. and in the fight, and killed two Indian;
with his own hand. .re.. ~ ,.le-, E.
Too much merit cannot be awarded Lieut.
Crook for his great efficiency and intrepid dar
ing in the prosecution of this war.

STOPPING THE SALT LAKE MAms.-The post
master at Independence, Mo-, has received an
official notice from the Postmaster General that
the contract for carrying the mails from thence
to Salt Lake has been set aside, and he is there
fore ordered to withhold the mails until further
orders This is done by virtue Of right al
ways reserved by the Department to rescind
mail contracts on giving due notice and one
months pay to contractors. In this case the
contract was taken by company Of Mormons
at Salt Lake City, who have already made sew
eral tips under it. So general were the oom-
plants of the mails having been violated and
letters opened, especially the correspondence
Of the government officials, that il became
quite evident these Mormon contractors were
mere tools of Brigham Young. The admins
tration has also taken another step towards
issuing the faithful performance of the mail
service in Utah. A postmaster had, it seems,
been appointed postmaster at Salt Lake City
who Is not Mormon. His commission was
forwarded to him, but never reached its desti-
nation. and duplicate copies failed likewise. In
fact, he was not recognized by Brigham Young.
He has now received his commission in person
at Washington, together with full instructions
as to his course, and will DO sent out by pro-
tecting military force.
