THE GREAT NORTHWEST.

The heht.draught steamboat Shreveport, Capt.
John B. Labarge, left ST. Louis On the lst
inst. bound for Fort Benton, the Falls OF Mis-
souri,, and Washington Territory. She is to
step at Fort Benton until the Fall, giving her
pn.sencers time to cross the Rocky Mountains,
and prospect" in various directions. Some
of them intend TO establish a settlement in
Bitter.Root Valley; others expect 10 visit the
nevly-dlscoyered and highly-vaunted mines IN
Washington Territory, and perhaps proceed to
those in British Columbia. There are some
sixty or eighty of them in all partly men OF
wealth: some of them veteran gold-niners Of
California; the machinery of a grist-mill and
tbat of saw.mill are among the freight. Pro-
visions, supplies for the U. s. post at Fort
Benton, Indian goods firearms, &C., are Of
course on the list. Capt. Labarge takes his
family with him and full crew, inclndIng ten
mountaineers. who intend TO stop in the coun-
try. The Emile, Capt. j. Labarge, jr., will
follow on the 9Th inst. The distance by the
river to the Falls of the Missouri must be nearer
three thousand than two thousand miles from
81. Louis.
Tic region of the Upper Missouri is destined
to attract emigration directly after the close of
tbe present war 1t is far better tmbered,
better watered, and has q better soil, than the
valleys of the Platte and upper Arkansas;
while its climate, owing TO the influence OF
Pacific winds, is far milder than that oi the
Upper Mississippi. Gold and other minerals
are being found at various points aud will soon
attract crowds of adventurers. a new Terri
tory on the Upper Missouri and Yellow Stone
will doubties be organized within tho next five
or SIX years.

We have declined to take any part in the
recent newspaper discussions Of the relative
$, .yices and merits Of the Secretary of War
and the Maior-G General Commanding in lower
Virginia, for reasons already stated, and which
we think ought To commend themselves to the
discretion and approval Of every considerate
Cnioniet When the question oi command
iuirht fairly be considerei an open one--whcn
We understood that it 'caS open-we said our
say upon 1t with entire irankness and persp-
cnty. The President OF the United States
whom the Constitution makes supreme OH such
auestlons--lecided ttat Gen. Mcclellan should
retan The command Of the Grand Army, and
that WIS TO Us The end OF controversy. From
flat moment, il las seemed to us the duty of
every patriot to give all possible support to
the arms of the Republic and TO those appointed
TO WELD them. Let US have no more repeti-
ticus OF The rad blunder whereby Gen. Ere
mont was stripped Of his command IN the far
South.West, Just as lie was ready 70 pounce
upon the amv Of Price or chase it out of its
last resting place in Missouri. THIS Is no time
for discussing tie relative merits OF Command
ing Generals now in front Of The enemy.
There is a special order considerably ahead Of
tAat.
Now every consideration that iortids crit-
cism on Gen. Mcclellan is equally urgent in
condemnation of the assaults (in which We are
surprised TO fud The CommJciGt taxing part)
on Secretary Stanton. He, too, holds his place
by tho deliberate judgment of the President

with the conduct OF the war is matter with
which he is "charged," not by The CONNER

Mcclellan, as The Commercial seems oddly to
imagine, but his superior. That they have
differed On some points, is generally under
stood; that each Of them meant to do his best
for the country, few will doubt. They are
both Union Democrats, and we think each of
them advised or favored the selection of tho
other for tho responsible post he now fills.

The advance on Williamsburg by General
Stoaeman's forces on Sunday, the particulars OF
which are given elsewhere, deserves especial
notice IA showing the eagerness, as well as the
courage, which apimatcs the National troops
The engagement with tho Rebel rear guard
near Williamsburg appears TO have been hot
and desperate while it lasted, and attended by
considerable loss in some of the brayest of the
National officers. Much of the fighting was
hand-to.hand; and had the cavalry only had
the earlier support Of General IIancocks s
Brigade the pursuit would have been continued,
undoubtedly with still more decisive results.
As it is, the touch of steel will have added TO
the determination of our advance guard; and
We can reckon safely that the pursuit from
this point will not abate until the Rebels show
sufficient courage to make stand in full
force. Meantime, the Peninsula along the line
of retreat is depopuat"d and laid waste; bnt
we presume that General Mcclellan can draw
ample supplies for his army from other sources

deal for the cause Of science, but the
Americans are the people to turn these

of the modern inventions in use here are
American, and one American chemist,
DR.. j. C. Aver of Lowell, supplies much
of the medicine consumed in this coun-
try. His Cherry Pectoral, Pills, Sarsa-

have the confidence of thepeople. While
the science of Medicine is carried to a
