Arrival Of Lieut. MuIIan at F5rf Benton


Our advices from Lieut.. MullOn's com.
mand are to the lst of August. At that
date he had completed the Military Road
to Fort Benton, and was en- route for Wal
ia-walla = in advance Of Major Blake's
command repairing and improving the
road. The line Of road made is G33 miles
long. Major Blake, with a command of
three hundred men, was to leave Fort
Benton for Walla-walla on the 9th of
August These troops are expected to
reach their destination before the close Of
September. In chronicling the final com
pletion of the military road, we cannot for
bear congratulstiug Lieut. NJ. upon the
proud triumph he has achieved For years
the construction Of road over this route
has been the one great object Of his life, to
further which lie was prepared to encoun-
ter difficulties that to less determined men
appeared insurmountable. Thanks to his
indomitable perseverance, all these were
overcome, and we now have q highway
that forms direct connection between the
navigable waters of the Columbia and
those Of the Missouri. In this crowning
success Lieut.. NJ. will find ample recon-
pense for all the obliquy and reproach that
has been heaped upon him during the prog
ress of an enterprise that must be forever
identified with his name. - MOuntaiHeer,
