Kentucky, Mr. A. L. Tarascon has just returned from an exploring expedition on the Mississippi, as far up as steam boats can navigate that river. He writes thus on the sub

ject; "the way is marked out by nature. From the falls of the Ohio, by steam boats you reach the mouth of St. Peters in twelve or fifteen days. By the Hudson, the New York canal, lake Erie, Green bay, Fox river, Ouisconsin, Mississippi, you arrive with goods from New York to the same point in twentyseven or thirty days. By the St. Peters you reach lake Travers, from thence, in carriages, or hereafter, by water, you cross to the mouth of the Chayenne: you ascend that river; you take the Big Horn: you are at the southern gap of the Rocky Mountains, in 42: you descend either Lewis's river or the Multnomak, or cross the country: you are in the bay. Will it be a miracle, if, ten years hence, we have a line of mails along that way? or if the American flag from the bay of Columbia has the full command of the Pacific and the Indian seas?

S. courts.
