inou tUT s*St,ouis Bvqvmts. Military expedition to the Upper Missouri. ? By perso* who V>vc descended the river diiWt from Camp Martin, we learn the following par ticulars ? On the 12th July the provisions gave out at Camp Martin, and the soldiers dispersed in small bodies under the command of different offi cers, to subsist themselves as they could among the Indians and in the woods. This camp was 370 miles up the Missouri, and had been oc cupied since last fall by a battalion of the Rifle fegiment. Colonel Johnson had the contract for supply ing it with rations. On the 30th July, Col. Chambers with the remainder of the Ritfe re giment was at Fort Osage, 30 miles below the mouth of the Kansas, waiting the arrival of provisions. ? ~Ott4he^lst July-4?7 is > Western Engineer was 30 miles below For* Osage, ascending. The same day the advance of the sixth Infantry in keel boats were ten miles above the mouth of Grand river. An accident had happened among these boats. In a rapid part of the river the conlelle, or towing rope, broke ; the boat swung, and drove dov. n the current until strik ing a sawyer, it overset and weut to the bottom. A soldier's wife and a child were drowned ? Grand river enters the Missouri &10 miles above its junction with the Mississippi. August 1. ? The foremost of the steam boats, the Expedition, was eight miles above Franklin (lioouV Lick) lying too ancT repairing some! of her machinery. ? The progress of this boat up the Missouri, had ?<een at the rate of eight miles a day ! August 2. ? The steam l>oat Join i son , was thirty-live miles below Boon's Lick, advancing. Her pro gress had been at the rate of six miles a day ! August 3. ? The steam boat Jeffer son, was eight miles above the mouth of the Great Osa^e, The great' Osage enters the Missouri, 133 miles above its mouth. The Jefferson had therefore made 141 miles iui the period of tllirty days ! The sentiment of the country, from the day of the arrival of Col. Johnson's steahi boats, was unanim ous that these/boats were unfit for the1 Missouri. The truth of that senti ment is now made manifest. It is now certain that so much of the expedition as depends upon the progress of these feeble boats, will not see the Council Bluffs this year. That part, however, which may go forward iu keels and barges may easily arrive there. Let no one attribute to the difficul ties of the river the wretched pro fress which Colonel Johnson'* boats ave made in ascending it. Capt. Nelson's voyage to Boon's Lick, in J the Independence, is a proof of the ease and safety with whicli it may be navigated in a boat properly huilt. of competent power, and skilfully conducted., V j ^ ? Perpetual Motion. This grand desideratum, the at tainment of which the votaries of science have uniformly pronounced Incompatibly with the laws of mo tion, is at length discovered by a self-taught mechanic, a Mr. Foster, of Owego in this state. A model of it has betjn exhibited in this city. There can be no deception in it. It is perfectly simple, as are all the> laws of motion when understood. ? It is principally performed by the agency of tw?j wheels, and tliese, in the model exhibited, are each aiiout six inches in diameter. One has 35 buckets, similar to those of the water wheel cf an overshot grist mill. The oth< j* has 8 of what we will call buckets. This latter wheel revolves nearly five times a a fast as the other. The motion is given by little balls of lead, about the size of buckshot, which are raised, one at a time, by the latter wheel and thrown into the former, in such manner th one ball is thrown into each of i?? buckets. The weight of ihe ball tytjp the wheel, and, as they de 'scencl to its lower part tbey roll on( into the other wheel, where they are caught, tn one of its buckets, anil quickly carried up and thrown into the first mentioned wheel. To the machine is added a sawgate in mini ature, which makes about 150 strokes in a minute. It is believed that with wheels of, say, 20 feet in diameter, and halls of, say, 500 pounds each, a force would be acquired sufficient to turn a run of mill-stones. It is believed that this invention is emin ently calculated to benefit the world, and must immortalize the name of its! inventor. Albany Plough Bay . CENSUS OF THE WHITE POPULATION.
