My last, believe, was written at Sta.
tion Il. 80 miles up the Republican from
the point at which the LeaveDworth Ex.
pres Companys Road strikes that river
in the great American desert. Six miles
further up, the stream disappears in the
deep, thirsty sands OF its wide bed, and
is not seen again for twenty five miles
Even mile or two below its point of dis.
appearance learn that excavations in its
bed to depth of eight feet have failed
to reach water. Its temperance be-
low this point is marked, and seems to
be caused by the timely junction of
small tributary from the sonth, which
seems to flow over less thirsty bed, and
pours into the doyouring sands Of the Re-

STATION, 2l, June 8, (evening. } 1859.

OTATloN, "a, June q, (evenlDg, loo9'
Since | wrote the foregoing, we have
travelled ninety miles up the south branch
of the Republican (Which forks just above
Station ls) and have thus pursued a
course somewhat south of west. In all
these ninety miles, we have passed just
two live streams making in from the
South-both together running scarcely
water enough to turn grind stone. In
all that ninety miles, We have not seen
wood enough to make descent pig pen.
The bottom of the river is perhaps half a
mile in average width; the soil is good
part clay and covered with short thin
grass; the bluffs are naked sand heaps !;
the rock, in the rare cases where any is
exposed. an odd conglomerate of petrifed
clay with quartz and some specks that re-
semble cornelian. Beside this, some of the
bluffs, where clay overlies and is blended,
under peculiar circumstances, with the
sand below it, a sort of rock seems to be
formed or 10 process of formation. Wa
ter is obtained from the apology for riv-
er, or by digging 10 the sand by Its side;
in default of wood, corrals (cattle,pens
are formed at the stations By laying up
heavy wall of elayey earth fanked by
sods, and thus excavatng deep ditch Cd
the inner side, except at the portal, which
is closed at night by running wagon in
to it. The teuts are sodded at their ba-
ses; houses of sods are to be constructed
as soon as may be. Such are the shifts
of human ingenuity in a country which
has probably not cord of growing wood
to each township of land.
Six miles further up, this fork of the
Republican emerges from its sandy bed,
n which it has been lost for the twenty
i've miles next above. OF course it loo
