YOU NAV be sure he is not a married

A New Routc to Tile Rocky Mouu-
tai~s.-The following letter, from
DIR. Macgowan, attached to the com
mission charged with converting the
Indians. possesses general interest:
FoKr ScoTT, Aug. 20, 1865.
VIM. Coventry II. WaddeH, Esq,
Secretary Of american Geograph-
'cut end Statistical Society:
SRA discovery lately made hy
Mr.. Bu'tertirl1, agent Of the Overland
Dispatch COMPANY, possesses not
only geographical interest by ma
king us better acquainted with the
interior of this continent, but i, is a
great value in a mercantile point of
view. The discovery makes known
route across the plains which redu-
ces the distance to Denver one hun
bred or one hundred and fly miles.
and which has the advantage of
avoiding the terrible alkal springs
of the Platte route, via Fort k.arny,
which is so fatal to cattle, occasioning
the death in some seasons of thous-
,nds Of animals. The new channel
has the further advantage Of enjoy
ing "a tortnigh,'s earlier verdue than
that Of the Platte river.
This newly discovered route to
the Rocky Mountains lies up the val
Icy ct the kaw or Kansas, to the
fork of the Smoky Hill river, and
thence up that valley to the centre Of
the continent at Denver. 1t presents
adirec, route from New York through
ST. Louis, to the mineral regions of
the west. An officer of the United
States army was detailed to accom-
pany Mr.. Butterfield's expedition, to
make typographical observati,ns, the
report of which will soon be pub
li-hed by the general government.
Meanwhile, arrangements are max ing
for transportation OF passengers and
freight across the plains by the route,
which in six weeks will be compile
ted, the company having abandoned
the old channel Of communication
between the east and the west. Law
rance, the present terminus of the
Union Pacific Railroad, will be the
new point of departure.
1t is believed that this will give
an increased impetus 20 the vast traf-
tic which is now carried on between
a few points on the Missouri river
and the territories of Colorado. Ida
no, Montana. Utah; New Mexico,
and \ rzona, while it will afford in
creased facilities to the stream of
.ni grafton which is flowing into and
across the plains. Correct statisti-
cal information regarding overland
trasic is not easily attainable. but
data for a calculation is furnished by
the business Of the Overland Dis
pa ch Company, which transports
abou. one-,enth of the treigh, sent
across the plains.
This company by the close Of the
season will have Sent abou. twenty
five thousand tons, employing nearly
two thousand wagons and eighty
thou-and oxen A single merchant
Of Salt Lake City pays this season
