forty miles Above its mouth, on the 1

phical sketch of Lieutenant Talcott, 1
of the route across to St. Peter's? I
The road i* measured (ran the Bluffs I
?to Chariton ; the distance is about I
two hundred and fifty miles? the j
distance across to St. Peter's, is esti
mated at three hundred miles. From 1
;a belief that the Sac Indians wise- 1
jcretly hostile to the whites, I have I
deferred having the country across 1
to ttock Jilaud and Prairie du Chien ]
explored, lor the prevent. J
The ague and fever has been pre- J
valenkat the post above, for the last I
two months, but tMp, is every rea- 1
?on to believe thiEit will WH?n di?- j
appear. Only one death has occur- 1
red among the troops, from the flf- j
teehth of April, to the 1st instant, I
and that from a case of (He typhus. I
The new barrack*, wete In a state I
of forwardness on the 1st instant,? I
indeed most of the troops were quar- 1
tered. The rooms wero put up with I
round logs, and hewn down within I
and without: the whole of the in- 1
fantry and one>lock of the rifle bar- 1
racks are covered with shingles. ? j
Good brick chimneys were made to I
most of the rooms, and the residue I
*re no dou|>t competed by this time. I
The barracks are dry and comforta- j
ble, and will probably . last some flf- 1
teen years. A p^an of theirxqpstnc- 1
tion and their defences shall be for- 1
warded to you on wy arrival at St. I
Louis, i -n -4|k - .
Our crop of oora iwmwi hit t r I
pectation,* we shall no doubt gather I
more than ten thousand bushels.? I
From .the quantity gathered and 1
measured from an acre, which I be- 1
lie re yielded not more than an aver- 1
age, ,we should count on more than I
thirteen thousand bnphels. ? The acre j
hlluded to protluced one hundred and I
two and a half bushels of shelled I
Lcorn, but as it was not yet quite dry, I
an allowance for shrinking of 28 t-S I
per cent would give us more than I
the latter quantity. Our potatoe crop I
wiH not be so abundant as anticipat- 1
ed, nor wUl the product of turnips; I
.of the former we shall probably gath- 1
?r four thousand bushels ; and foul I
to live thousand Of the latter. Grass- 1
hopper* appeared in myriads the last I
week in Augiet, and stripped the I
turnips of their leaves; they were so I
well grown, however, as to resusci- 1
tatif measurably, aud will give half I
i crop. ' If these destructive visitants I
had piade their appearance six weeks 1
%ooucr, wc should riot have made
one bushel of corn. They skipped
it even at that late |>erio?l of half its
leaves. Tlie Pnwirte Indians lost
their whole crop hy (heir ravages;
an?l I understand that at tlie earl of
Selkirk's establihmeut, on lied lliv
? er, the two, last crops have beeu en
tirely destroyed hy iheni.
If we are not again visited hy
those iusects, . therejs no douht we
shall he able, after gathering the next
crop, io subsist ourselves iu plentiful
abundance by our own labor. . We
have cut and preserved two hundred
and fifty tons of hay, w hich will be
sufficient for our horses aqd cattle.

Sioux, - residing above the Great

and are no doubt, as friendly as
could be wlslied. It is said (bat the
Aracaras, who inhabit the country
lfiO miles below the Mandans, speak
lightly of the cowing bf the troops;
and (lie friendly disposition of the
Mandans is also questioned. In
these reports but little confidence
should be placed. 1? or ihy own part
I have oot the least doubt but 4fltt
