A TRIP ACROSS THE PLAINS.
A friend now In Utah, sends us the fullow.
Id" sketch of hi trip' in the direction ol
Jlormondorn:
I left St. Josephs fur Great Salt Lake City,
tlia 6th of June, m a passenger in the mail
tag or ambulance, a light-covered vehicle
on springs, and so rrcngd a to afford com.
fori able tleeping quarter. One baggage
wsgon containing camp equipage, provisions,
ic, nine men and twenty mules, constituted
tin caravan with which we set out to brave
the perils of the Great American Desert.
All of the mules were in a atate of nature
none of them ever having been harnessed be
foreand the "top o' the morning" was eon.
aumed in getting them hitched up; but by 1 1
o'clock we had eight in leading lines, and
crossed the river into "bleeding Kansas."
The first evening two of our mules gave out,
and we bad to substitute wild onea Tram our
drove and again go through the process of
breaking in." The next dny another "gave
,' it
o er.
' ' On the 8th, we arrived at Bij$ Blue,
ISO milea from St. Josephs, and having used
up the other mules, were detained some lime
be'ore we succeeded in filling their places.
That night we camped on the open prairie,
v. here, unlike the prairies of Texas no "flow,
ert waste their fragrance on the desert ah."
Hliswberrier are abundant, and being just in
pri fection afforded no ungrateful offering to
the lips of the thirsty traveler. However, if
yon are dry it is your own fault, ns you have
an opportunity of wetting your whistle every
few miles at the whiskey shops that line the
roi-te from St. Josephs to Ft.- Kearney.
..On the 9th, we halted at Patterson's, on
the Big Sandy Creek, for breakfast, where we
gpt first rat coffee, biscuit, broiled ham, but
termilk and ice. There, ,wa overtook Col.
Sumner's oointiiund en rotate for Utah, and
learned that a war party of thirty six Indians
were about twenty miles ahead of us, in pur
suit of the Pawnees, and at the same time
annoying travelers and trains on the road--eo
we buckled up our courage, put our arms
in shooting trim, and set out. We drove un
til hear 7 o'clock In the evening, when we
met a footman, who informed us that the In
dians had that day driven him from his ehnn
ty and taken three barrels of his whiskey,
and he was now making a bee line to solicit
protection from Col. Sumner. Thinking "dis
cretion the better part of valor," we turned
off the road and encamped in a small cove
on the banks of the Little Blue. We slept
(hat night with one eye open, and set out
next morning, expecting every minute to bear
the war-whoop and be called on to have our
craniums dressed by a prairie barber, an ope
ration we did not leel at all inclined to sub
mit to. 1 being the only passenger (the rest
of the crowd consisting of drivers, postillions
and escort,) and dependautin a great measure
on my own resources for enjoyment, had fre
quently amused myself by testing the bow-
era of a glass I had brought. with me, and
which I now found admirably adapted to the
necessities (as we supposed) of the case. At
intervals through lbs day 1 swept the hori
ton with my telescope, but all my scrutiny
was unable to make out any thing like a red
skin; so we missed the Indians, and an oppor
tunity of showing our mettle, but late in the
evening met the first returning mail pirty,
who imparted little or no intelligence from
bait Lake, save that Gov. Cunxuing had re
turned to Camp Scott.
On the 11th, we arrived at Ft. Kearney,
wKere we got breakfast and a change of
mules. Kearney is rather a poor estnblish
inent is not fortified, and has but four or
five passable wooden houses, the balance be
ing constructed of sand but Capt. McCown,
(formerly of Sevier aonnty. Teun.,) has com
menced improving we met his teams going
seventy miles for saw logs but it will take
time, patience and money, before he ean make
any very striking improvements. After leav
ing Kearney we continued up the l'latte Bot
tom, (which we had struck some miles below,)
artd which is from five to twelve miles wide,
with a range of time-worn sand hills on sillier
aide, from 60 to 100 feet high; and present
ing in the distance the appearance of some
desolated city, whose stately pnlaces are
crumbling to ruins. Buffaloes, wolves, and
aritelopes were abundant, and as the state of
our larder began to look rather appalling,
we sent two men ahead for game, but much
to our chagrin they met with no success.
The view is so unobstructed that it is almost
impossible to approach within shooting dis
tsnce ere they see you,' or "snuff the tainted
gale," snd are off. The hoys oarelessly lost a
bag' of hams and at Kearney we could only
get bacon sides three years old but travel
ing on the desert is a marvelous cure for fas
tidiousness. JJo matter what the viands are,
"to the hungry soul every bitter thing ia
sweet," and "old ned" is extremely palatable
when nothing else is to be had. In the Platte
Bottom we, for the first time, used buffalo
chips for our culinary operations, and found
them an excellent substitute for wood.
At Cottonwood Springs, on the 12th, we
got a change of mules and "grub," and at half
past six were on the road again, eonsiderably
refreshed by our halt and the buffalo ateaks
we had devoured with the rapacity of wolves.
Our road being now as smooths as a floor,
we.gave the mules the whip and by dark had
accomplished twenty-five miles. Before dark
ws passed an Indian village containing about
fifty persons. They all came running out to
meet us, as perfectly nude as they were born,
clamoring for tobacco. We had none of the
weed, and they turned back much disappoipt
ed. , . , , .. . .
On the 16th, we left the North and took up
the South Platte that rolls along its shining
way, without a tree, shrub, er flower, to grace
its sterile banks. Myriads of mockingbirds
were perched upon the ground, singing as me
lodiously as if they snt amid the dewy leaves
of 'some wildwootl bower. Again, we sent
two of our men forward for game, and this
time with better success. They were ia full
view all the time, and it would have afforded
f;lorious fun to the lovers of sylvan sports to
isve watched the chase. Using revolvers,
they had to make close work. I eounted four
shots snd still the bid monarch run, but the
fifth laid him low. The men aoon came in
with the tongue and about twenty pounds of
the tender loiu, leaving the balance for the
wolves. That evening at o'clock we ar
rived at the crossing of South Platte, where
we found a number of men' and teams camp
ed the, river being swollen and still rising.
They 'endeavored to dissuade us from at
tempting the passage, as our mules were
until, and the river 600 yards wide, but there
was no telling when the waters would subside
and we determined to go over. Two men
from the crowd enr the bank consented to
xade by the aide of our lead mules for five
dollars a piece, and so; after making every
thing seoure in the ambulance, we drove iu
and by sun down we were high (but not dry)
on the other bank. There being whiskey
(hop on that side all hands took a drink and
returned for the wagon, which they got over
in an hour, and theu resumed their addresses
to the bottle. There were several Indians
there who had indulged pretty freely iu the
fire water, and giving their lungs and tongues
free play kept up such a noise as would have
startled. Bacchus himself.
On the 15th we passed the far-famed Chim
ney Rock and several moving Indian villages,
this being the season at which they migrate
to new hunting grounds. They were in ooro
psnies of from 200 to 600. All gave us the
road, seeming to manifest disposition to con
ciliate rather than exasperate the "pale
faces." We now began to observe quite a
difference in the feature of the landscape
indications of hills' beginning to appear. In
the evening we ' arrived at Scott s Bluffs,
hioh are abrupt sandstons hills, in all man
r of shapes with domes, towerc and spires,
Wining up from 60 to 100 fest above the
main bass of the hills.
On ths 16th, we arrived at Fort Laramie,
W ue hoped to be able to procure a fresh
upnly of creature comforts, but there was
Holb.ip.fr to be bad for love or money. My eof
'ce, which to me is almost the staff of life,
d given out the day before, and 1 had lived
en the memory of the fragrant aroma of my
'sat auarl up to Larimie, and now to leave
without one grain, when I knew it must be
ire, was not to be thought of. 1 had let
ter from Gen. Harney to the commander to
furnish me with transportation and an escort
to Lamp Scott, out as tbs soldiers would re
tard our progress, (we travelling from 60 to
70 miles per day,) I determined to say noth
ing about it, provided I got the coffee. So I
walked up to head quartera and in my ruf
fianly prairie garb presented myself before
the commander, Mnj. Lyon, and made my re
quest, which was. denied, as he aaid the sup.
ply at the post was short and such applica
tions as mine of daily recurrence. I told him
I did not calculate on making any further de
mands upon him, as I had authority to do from
head quarters, but that the coffee I must have.
I did not present the 1-itter from Gen. Har
ney; for his name was sufficient. The Major
ordered a poena? to be ground ind sent to me,
and wished to know if there was any thing
else he could do far ' me. But coffee was the
burden of my song, and having that "Richard
was himself again." We remained there al
most an hour, and whilst there saw a wsr
party of the Sioux, who had just returned
from a foray against the Crows, engaged in
the disgusting enjoyments of a scalp dance
There were about one hundred braves and
squaws, 'tripping Hon the light fantastic toe"
to the inspiring music of an old drum, and the
wild chantings of their own exultant war
song ever and anon, during their grotesque
evolutions, exhibiting the gory trophies of
their victory on the points of their lances. I
was sick of the sight and glad to leave. In
the evening we encountered an awful storm,
which our teama refused to face, and we were
compelled to camp, at which place the men,
now only fonr in number, (having left our es
cort at Laiiinie) consumed the last of our
grub, excepting my prttiout coffee and a lew
hard crsfekers.
Ou the 17th, we arrived at La Bout's Cross
ing, where we got a change of mules and
something to strengthen the inner man.
The morning of the. 18th, we again struck
the Platte, which was very much reduced in
size At two o'clock we readied the Bridge,
where all the crossing it done during high wa
terat five dollars a wagon. Thisseaaon there
will be about 3000 to cross.
On the 19th, we again left the Platte, and
took up the Sweetwater. That day we met
ISO Mormons returning to the States. Some
of the men were tolerably well informed; but
all, both men and women, the most wo-be-gone
looking set of beings I ever beheld.
Soon after meeting the Mormons we came to
Devil's Gate, (strange coincidence,) where
the Sweetwater passes through the mountains.
There is barely room for the road between
the river and the precipice, which rises 600
feet above you. The valley of the Sweetwa
ter is as level as a floor and covered with
white sand, on which no vegetation grows.
Here and there are small lakes whose mar
gins are as white as snow with the efferves
cence of Soda. After leaving the valley we
found ourselves in the main chain of the
Rocky Mountains, with only an occasional
park, or plain. Continuing our course up the
Sweetwater river, on the 20th we encamped
at the foot of a large spur of the mountain to
prepare our grub, having met with a party
of Indians who furnished us with any amount
of game. While in camp, Lt. Armstrong of
the 6th dragoons came up on his way to the
States. He informed us that the troops had
gone into the city. We now began to find
blankets and overcoats comfortable. The
huge mountains, with their glittering crests
of eternal snows "so pure that naught but
angel's feet, or saints elect, may venture there
to walk," were above and around us It was
cold as winter, and at night we camped with
snow banks all around ns.
The 21st we made South Pass, which is a
wide plain with mountains on either side.
We halted at Pncifio Creek for breakfast, but
found no grass for our.mules. We are now
in Utah, but have 'yet some of the most diffi
cult'mountain gorges to pass Echo Canon
being one.
22d. We have met the mail thia morning.
All quiet in the City, which we hope to reach
in two days more. MoK
Large Reward. Win. Taylor, Esq., of
Montgomery, Alubamn, offer a reward of
810,000 for the murdore of his aon, Abner

fW A distinguished medical gentlemen says. In a
letter to the proprietor : "It maybe a little irregular
for me to say anything la favor of a patent medicine;
but still I must bear witness to the efficiency of Dr.
Hooflnnd's Balsamic Cordial. My wife had long been
suffering under a violent cold, which defied all the cura
tive means at my command ; when, without my knowl
edge, she purchased a bottle of the Cordial, and was so
visibly relieved that I myself procured a second bottle
for her; on taking the contents of which she was radi
cally cured."
This Invaluable remedy, to the efficacy of which oth
er medical men have testified, as well as well as the
writer of the above, ia prepared only by Dr. O M. Jnck
soa, 4IS Arch street, Philadelphia, and for sale by Drug
gists generally throughout the United States and Cana

turned to
MEMPHIS, TENX.)
and Is now prepared to treat

WITHOUT SURGICAL OPERA TIONS.
Owing to the fact of his having procured the assistance
of his son,
SILAS T. GILBERT, M. D.,
A graduate of the Jefferson Medical College of Phila
delphia, and who has had ample profeasional experi
ence In the cities of New York and Charleston, patients
will now be treated on mora favorable terms than here
tofore. tVSLAVES will be boarded, lodged and treated for
$1,60 per day.
f W4- Particular attention paid to the treatment of
CHRONIC DISKASKB peculiar to females,
CANCERS, TVMOIIS, CLVERS, SYPHILIS, &e.
During Dr. Gilbert's absence from this section of the
Union, certain persons have, to the great detriment of
many of those who have employed them, attempted to
Imitate him, professing to have a thorough knowledge of
hia remedies and mode of treatment. The public Is here
by notified that Dr. Gilbert has no specific remedy for
any disease: that his success has been almost wholly
owing to bis pereonal ekill anderperimve. The Ju
dicious use of cauatio applications requires fully as
much professional sagacity and experlencs as does the
successful use of surgical instruments.

The undersigned, Trustees of Fountain Hill Academy,
are happy to announce to the public that, after fair
experiment, they ean say with confidence that the ad.
vantage, afforded by this Institution to students de
siring a thorough or a business education, see not es
celled by those of any similar Institution. The plan Qf
Instruction is substantially ths same as that pursued at
Emory and Henry College, Vs., where the Principal
obtained his education. The Instructress In French,
having been educated by one who spent msny years of
her life among that people, Is thoroughly prepared to
teach the pronunciation of that language, in which
teachers are generally so deficient,
There ia In connection with this Institution a Literary '
Pocictyand a well selected Academical Library, both
of which afford advantages of a superior kind. In ad'
dltlon to these, the advantages of location reeommenff ,
this Institution very highly to those desiring to send of '
go to School. It is a quarter of a mile East of. Mouse
Creek Depot, surrounded by a beautiful grove, and neae
an excellent spring. Judging from the past, Its friends '
predict for it a future full of prosperity and usefulness,
