" Ihore is moro of this child-slavery in Chicago than is suspected by the public. The promi- nont Italinn citizens hero might give somo at- tention to the mattor with good results. It ia not true, as stated in the Associated Press dispntches last weel, that & schodulo of passenger rates undor the Minnesota law has ‘boon prepared by the Railway Commissionors. Furthor than tlus: the protest of tho Sioux City & 8t. Paul Company, which was deseribed as tho grasshopper region compaoy, wee directed against the fowa luw. Those being tho facts, tho graceful thing to do i to withdraw the striotures upon tho Minnesota [aw which wo passed ou tho authonty of tho Associated Pross atatemonta. The withdrawal is horeby made.

Woconpratu- 1ato our neighbor on its entorprise, It is & vast Lnprovemont ovor anything it has horetofore ac- :omplished, Though wo are at & considsrable expense in collecting and proparing our news, wonre gladto give it to any othér newspaper the noxt day. A band of 700 Mormons arrived in Now York yeatordsy. Most of tho couverts wore Scandi- navians, They aro in charge of cightoen mis- sionaries, whom it would be quite consoliag to call rasenls if we had assuranco that they de- Borvo to bo so catled. Thoso missionarios, and othors like them, are doing more to prevent the poacoful solution of the Mormon *‘problam" than any other olass of mon out of Congress. Thoy are attompting to eaturato Utah with the hideous morality of their hideous Church. If it wero possibla for them to succeed, there would be somo occasion for alarm, Railrond men in Milwaukee aro talking se- riously of a proposed transfer of tho Milwaukeo & St. Paul Ramlrond to the Hon. Aloxandor Mitchell. By this action, it is eaid, the road would becomoe personal property, and not sub- ject to tho regulation of iho State, The rumor i8 given for what it is worth, That it baseuch «alaims to respoct as to gain a wide circulation is protty good evidence that Mr. Alex. Mitchell 18 supposed to possoss tho cateem and confidence of his business assoclatos—which iy doing protty woll for s man who, wo have boen tausht to be- liove, has wrung his substance from the sweat of othor men's brows, An sttompt tostop tuo trial of Prof, Swing botore tho Synod was mado in the Prosbytery of Chicago yestorday, but it utterly failed. Tho proposition, which came from a gentioman of enlargod benovolonco and small acquaintanco with the spirit of Clicago Presbyterians, was to pass & voto of mild consure upon Prof, Swing. A fatal defect in this plan was that it made no provislon for reconciling the fends which have sprung out of the trinl. Whal use would thero bo in quashing the indictment so long me Trowbridge ia so . exile from the Inferior abodes of blies?

Tho effeots of tho deoision by the United Statos Court sitting at Madlson in support of tho con- stitutionnlity of the Pobter law wore plainiy ap- poront in Wall strect yeuterday.

Car- pontor a lotter of tho same tenor as Mr. Rid- dle's, Mr, Koop says that tho Northwostorn Company has now on havd all the litigation it esn ationd to, One of the most choering fea- tures of tho now phaee in tho railroad war is the disposition of the suthoritics in Wisconsin to relax the rigor of tho proscoution, aud to make upan issue for tho cousideration of the United States Bupreme Court at the October torm, Bpeaker Blaine has profited by tho oppor- tunlty prosonted {n his unominatlon for Congress to writo a lottor defiuing his views on tho prominent fesues in tho coming political campaign in Maine. He says that the ourroncy question is in the process of a happy adjustment, partlyin con- sequonco of the bill paesed by Congress at tho Iost sossion, but * more largely,” touso his own phrase, '*by the oporation of causes mors paw- erful thon . any legislation,” Nr. Blaine fhon advances to o considoration of the extremo Freo-Trado resolution which was ombodied in the platform of the late Demo- cratic Convention 1a Maine. On this point ho is quite forcible and son sible, though it will strike the unprejudiced obsorver that bho beats the air moro than necessary for tho accomplish- mont of his mission in life. Ho is moro tuan likely right in saying that the poopla of Maine aro not prepared for freo trude puro and simple ; but he is not so certainly right io attributing to the Demooracy of the Stato & dosire to cffect a change, violently and at oncer boyond tho reduction of imposts to a revenue standard, Mr. Blame unqualifiedly condemns tho proposed Bociprocity treaty. ‘WHO I8 RESPONSIBLE? ‘Novw that tho tas-grab Inw haa beon knocked in the bead by tho Supremo Court, and now thatthe people of Tlinois have effocted an immedinto saving of 32,000,000 and a prospeotive saving of gome $18,000,000, besides the annual jntorest thereon, it will not bo amies to roview the action by which this unjust and illegal tax was loviod upon thoinhabitants of the State, with a viow of fixing tho responsibility therofor. Aa we toolt pains to show at tho time, all authority for im- posing this iniquitous tax was takon away by the new Couslitution, It was also talen away by a statuto pussed sinco the =adoption of the now Constitution—a statuto which preseribed that the Governor, Auditor, and Treasurer should fit & percontage of tax which would yield $2,600,000 for gonoral Stato expenscs and $1,000,000 for achools, and no more,~in all £8,500,000, Novertholess, iheso fuuctionaries procoeded to lovy 34,800,000, in glaring doflance of law, It was o long time bofore.an admission could be oxtorted from anybody st Springfield that this oxtra tax was intonded to satisly the demands of thoe holdors of railrond-aid bonds is- sued by towns and counties, for which thetowns sod countios bad recoived stock in tho railroads g0 nided, and for which the peoplo of the Stato at large are in no wiso respousiblo. Finally, howover, it was admitted that such was tho pur- poso of this extra and illogal tax. Butit was pleaded that the law of 18G9 required the Stato oflicors to mako the levy, and hence that they woro not to bo blamod. We shall not again go over the argument to show that this was an unteunble position and sn ipadmiseible plea. The Supreme Court Las ghown all that abundantly, But supposing the State ofiicars belioved that tho law of 1860 au- thorized thom to levy this tax—thoy did know that there was a grave doubt concerning its legality, Tho new Constitution was beforo them declariug that no portion of the Stato rovenue should bo uged for any purpore excopt a8 appropriated by law, and that no commuta~ tion of taxes should ever bo allowed toany munieipality, and that the State should nover pay or bo responsible for any dobta contractod by public or private corporations. If this diag- net wae not brord and. swooping enough to in- cluda the geab-luw of 1869, it would manifestly be impossible to framo one that would. But wo will not go ao fur a8 to ingiut that the Governor, Auditor, and Treasurer know that tho grab-law had boen repealod, We do claim that they know thora was grave doubt about it, Xnow- ing this, they still went on and lovied tho tax, and collected it as for a8 thoy wore abla, They gove the benefit of tbe doubl to tho bond- | hoiders and againet the tax-payers. This wo tako leave to call an ontrage. It i no thanks to thicae ofticors that the robbery hus beon ar- rested whon only half consummated. It was their intention to curryrh out thoroughly, and to contribute tho force of thelr examnple to it4 vopotition uutil_the eutire Latch of railrond-aid bonde should huve been pald out of tho procaeds of Btato taxea, The Republicsn psrty muet boar the rosponeibility of the acts of its ofticors, and, as thoro iy o State Troasurer tobo clooted soon, it {s fitting that tho tax- poyors should make a mark at thoe ballop-box signifying their disapprobation of such active Interferonco agalnst them aud such alscrity to Incroase thole taxes, Mr, Ruis, the ‘pravent io'cattlo and sheop marketa wero Btato Treasuror, who boro n hand in lovying this tax, 1a not n candidate for ru-olgotion,- -the Con- stitution prohibiting such =~vicction. It he wero bofeve tho pooplo, ho would bo beaten so far out of sight that ho could not be discerned with tho most powortul magnifying glass. Thoro is anothor proclous lot who should nob bo forgotten. Wosrofor to the Btate Board of Equslization. This establishment was as deop in the conapiracy to rob tho poople for the bona- it of the gral-las bondholdera an anybody elso, Thelr entire notion at Springflold, last fall, was prodicatod on the grab-law. Thoy raised tho ag- grogato nssesement from somo $180,000,000 to $1,850,000,000, in order to make the grab that much larger. Thoy aftorwards doubled tho Cook County assessmont; for tho samo purpose,—s complimoent which Coolc County will return to thom this fall in n way thoy will bo apt to ro- mombor. Soveral other counties not owing ralirond aid dobts wore served as badly aa Cool County. Wo acquit the Board of any partloulnr spito agninat Cook County. Thoy meoroly threw tholr net whero thoy aupposed tho fshing was good, and whother it was Cool County, or Bu~ renu, or Clinton, or Will, mado no difference— what they had in thoir mind was not prejudices but property, Aud, according to tho best of our bellof, they got nothing for their high-handed outrago. It wag a labor of love. Thoy followed tho instinct of bigh taxes. Thoy had beforo them noither hopo of roward nor foar of pun- {shmont. We shall ba surprised if the latter part of tholr expeotations be not grievously dis- appointed, OUR COAL-FIELD3, » Whilo Mr, W, R. Greg is lamonting the antict- pated loss of England's cosl supply, and her consequent induatrial dochine, Prof. E. B, An- drows, in the last number of the Jnlernational Review, affords ample proof that in this coun- try wo need not fear any docline from lack of coal, for & great many thousand years at Ienst. Amorica has tho conl-flolds of Cape Bre- ton, Novia Scotia, and Now Brunswiok. Wao are assurad, on the anthority of Dr. Dawson and Sir William Logan, that the carboniferous forma- tion of Novin Beotla 18 the tbickest in the world. Magsachusotis offors ug the first coal-fleld mot with on entoring tho Unitod States, buk tho character of the coal is none of thoboest. Ponn- sylvania abounds in’ anthracite, bituminous, and somi-bituminous, Its anthsncite flolds are tho beat of the kind known. There are of such an- thracito fiolda or basine, in all, 427 square miles, Tho total number of tons shipped from the an- thracite district of Ponnsylvania alone for the yoar g ending Nov. 20, 1873, was 20,025,019, From tho Alleghany Mountaina westward to tho middle of Olio, adistance of from 250 to 300 miles ; northward, o dlstanco of 100 milos ; and southward, through West Virginis, Kontucky, and‘Tenncsses, to Tuscalooss, in Alabama, extend tho lnrgost and most intoresting coal-fields intho world,—fiolds measured “not by ncres or square miles, but by great Btates,” Anothor great conl- fiold Yies partly iu Indiana and atrotchos wast- ward over nearly tho wholo prairie land of Illinole. Illinols is ono groatcoal-field. Au- other Jnrge store of coal 18 found in Iows, Ne- ‘brasks, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and Utah; and in Northwestorn Texan on tho Brazos River is o flold of unknown extent. In Michigan there is a small coal-fiold near the centre of the lower penineula, Thoe quantity of cosl in all theso flelds it is impoasiblo to estimate. Ono writer cnleulates the ares of productive coal measures for the United States ab 225,000 squaro miles, but this s an over-estl- mate. Of fiolds mot bolooging to the trus conl meesures wo havo one mear Richmond, Va., thought to bo of tho irlassic formation, In North Carohna_are two small coal-flelds, and beyond the Mississippi aro vast fiolds of lignitio conl, one of which is estimated &l 400 milos in length by 160 miles in breadth. Other ficlds are found in Utah and Wyoming. In California thero is another lignitio conl-bod. Thore are coal mincsat Seattlo, in Washiogton Territory, on Vancouver's Island, and even iu Alagka. Wo liave, in the United Statos, probe~ bly mora than six times as much coal as thero is in the whole of Europe, and thirty-six times ag much a8 in Great Britain. England, it is pre- sumed, will not Lo able to mine her coal evon 88 far down in {ho bowols of the eourth as Mr, Grog supposes. Prof. Stonley Jorvis calculated thnt the Buglish coa! supply would not Iast moro than 110 yoars, When ours shall give out, no one can caleulato ; and thus it is-mathomatically vroven that the future gront industrial age shall belong to us— unless, indeod, some moans shall be dovised to colloct and utilize the sun’s hoat for purposes of fuel, THE CASE OF THE REV, MR, DANDY, ‘The noxt clorgyman to bo subjected to trial by the Church authoritics 1 thia city is the Rev. Willism C. Dandy, pastor of tho Ads Streot Methodist Epiucopal Olurch., The formal charges have boen made by tho Trustees of tho Ada Streot Church, and, while they may in fact fnvolvo eerious matters in the discipling of tho Chureb, to the outslde world they must scem to Lo somothing frivolons. Nor is this last viow of the charges at all weakened by the circumstances out of which thoy have grown. 3r, Daody was for weveral years Prosiding Ildor of this district, snd, when he olosed that service, ho was ap- pointed by tho Dishops tothe Ada Btreot Chureh, near which ho had been residing for yours. A poition of tho congrogation were oppored to this procoeding, they disliking Mr, Dandy and do- siring some atber pustor, Notwithstanding the foct that, according to the law of tho Metho- dist Church, tho nction of the Bishops in .asuigning pastors is one from which thore 18 no appeal, and to whioh obedionco and submission ero roquired of the lity, thore bhas boen un opon rovolt against Mr. Dandy's pastorate from the boginning. e rosultis that the temporal governmout of the church has beon inbarmo- nious. Br, Dandy lias booa dosirous of having the business matters of the church put in the lande of those friandly to himself, while the other side havo used their power to male things uucomfortable for him, o proforred chargos agalnat Mr, Ira Brown, one of his more con- spicuous oppouenty, and these charges against the ministor soom to hava boou bayed upon tho principle of “'you're auother,” The charges aro lying, dishonesty, patronjzing danoing-school, smoking tobacco, trylng to get the church in dobt, vindictlvenoss, and Mofilclency. The charges are signed by Mr. J, O, Uarlaud, Secro- tary of the Trustees. While the chargos are strong, the speciftcations are weak. Thus to sustaln the accusntion of lying it ie rocitod that Mr, Dandy eald on ono occaston that Ira Brown had spent §26 glving dinnors to proachors for tholr luflucnce against Dandy's sppointmont. It is also recitod that Deandy obiained the records of tho church from Mra. Qurlund, wife of the Bacrotary, promisiug to return them, aud has nover so roturned them, The charge of dishonesty yosts on il sams specification of having.doceltfully obtnined pos- sosafon of tho rocords, Itfs racited that ho has sont or nlldwed his daughtor to altend Mar- tne's dancing-neadomy..and he is chargod with chowing and smoking tobacco in publio and pri- vato ; and it is ailoged that ho urged tho officers of tho chuich to flx his snlary at $8,000, hie woll knowling tho church had not and counld not pay ovor $1,200; and that ho has urged the ohurch Trustocs to Incur debls beyond tho means of the congrogation to pay. To sustain tho charge of vindictivencss it 18 rooited that Mr. Dandy do- clared thint the lady membors of the congrogation had o right to vote for Trustoes ; and that thoy did voto, ond at such * pretonded election™ choso o Board, tho mombers of- which wero to serve ono, two, and throo yoars, rospoctively, It is furthor rocitod thnt the congregation has fallon off, oto,, ota. Oncof tho groatest ovils of thess casos of ohureh prosvoutions s that tho charges and spocifications are gonerally of such an insub- stantial charactor, and botray so stroug a dosiro to punish o man with or without causo, that the offcct upou the mind of the world’s peoplo is to bring roligion into contempt. Iu church con- troveralos, tho #calping-knifo is most commonly tho firsb wonpon used. It speaks wall for Mr. Dandy that hisoppononts in his churely, animated by a desire to force his removal from tho pastor- ato, have boen unable to got up any specifica- tious of lying and stesling more flagrant thon those Ret forth inthe indletmont. They hinve evidently raked the whole flold, and found nothing but tobacco-chowing and dancing tocon- demn him withal, for the charge of lylng, when sifted, amounts to nothlug but an ill-natured remark, Tho fact that mon claiming to be church-officors, and actuated by a desire to pro- mote the c¢ause of Christ, would got up such a parnde of trivial complaints, and stemp thom with tho imposing brands of *lying" and ¢t dishonesty,” is one of thoso wenknoases which does movo harm to roligion and more to bring it into ridiculo than anythiug that could bo said or written by the scoffers and tho infidels ina twelvemonth. e BCHLIEMANN'S TROY. © A writorin & rocent number of the Cornhill Magazine ridiculed tho idea that Dr, Schilomann had discovered tho site of Aunciont Troy, Ilo snid that Schliomann did not possess any archm- ological talent, and that he did not discover the remaing of 'Uroy at Hissarlik for tho vory simple renson that tho site of old T'roy had boen alrendy diecovered at Boumnbashi, Gladatone,who is, at 1enat, as good & Homoric scholar as hio {sn statos- man, in an articlo on Homer's place in history published in the Juno number of tho Confempo- rary Review, tokes & different viow of the results of Dr. Schliompun's excavations, The writer of & vory oblo article in the Quare {erly Review (No. 272) had, bofore Gladstons wrote hig, consldorod it a8 proved beyond = doubt, by Dr. Schliemann's resoarchos, that & prohistorio ocity existed on the small hill of Hissarlik in the Troad,—n real Troy with cortain marks of probability, The points of agrooment betwoon the oxcavations and the pocms are the following : ‘Thie oxcavations of Schilemann pre- sent to us, in the city they unveil, the handi- worlk of groat primitive builders. Bo, says Glad- stono, do tho poems of Homer. The walls of Troy wore tho work of Poseidon. The groat building race of prohistorio times aro thus brought in relation to Troy. The excavations show that copper was the staple ma- torial of which tho imploments, utensils, and weapons of the unearthed oity, so far as thoy were metulilc, wore mado. Aud so they are in the poems of Ilomer. The excavations prove that thers was abundanco of copper in the dis- covered city, and that bronze was oceasionally used. 8o, Gladstone thinks, do tho poems. The two hond-drosses, or oroaments of pure gold, found in the, excavations, Gladstono thinks, offor an outirely satisfactory explana~ tion of thojtwined or plaited fillot of gold which waa part of the head-dress of Andromache, torn off inhor agonyof grief at Hector's death. Hebliemann discovored six oblong plates, which he supposes to be the talonta of Homor. They rangs in weight from 171 to 190 grammos ; on an average about 5 ounces. Those plates, Gladstano says, might have beou usod for payments or for making prosouts, or ag accumulated wealth, and in the manufacture of rare and valunblo objects for groat and royal housoholds. In the poems of Homer the uso of such metnls ia spoken of thronghout in such connections, Another point of corrospondenco botweon the poems and the excavations ia tho absonce from both of statues of the gods, In the pooms, objots of flue art genorally are im- ported lnto Grooco, The ornamental objocts found by Schliemann aro most probably not tho productions of the same peoplo, whose matheticability was consumed fn seratching earicatures of oyes and noses on thoir carvhen- ware. Writing is but onco meutioned in the pooma. The inscriptions found in the Troic levol evidence a coudition of affairs in which thet art was either entirely nuknown or only in its infanoy, Iron has uot boen found in the ex- cavations, and in tho poema 1t is very rare. At Hissarlik thore aro no tracos of painted pottery. Neithor is thore mention of it in the pooms. Tho largor works of art mentionod in the poems sro of eilver, not of gold; and Schliomann found a vaso of silver, but no large vessol of gold. According to the Iliad, Bchliomann thinks that Troy should have lad a population of 50,000 inhabitants. The smallness of his dls- covered Troy disnppoints him, himited, aa he thinks it Is, to a space of 260 yards. Dut Glad- stono shows Lhat Troy was anything but large, woll-built, or broad-wayed; and thnt the poems and the excavations fortify oach other, 80 far ag the lattor go. It would indeod seem as if Schliemann had dis~ covored tho Anciont Troy., Qladstone is in- clined to think so, and scarcely auy man Lving 18 more compotent Lo judge.

TORREY'S EXPEDITION, ¢ Our expodition hns returned in safoty to Camp Brown, We left that post on tho 20th of May, with orders to find & wagon-rosd from Brown to Tigmotse Pass, at the head of Big Wind River. Compauy A, Thirtecuth United States Infantry, was dotailod as tho escort,—Capt. I A.Torry, commanding. I accompaniod the expedition beeause I had boen up the Wind River bofore, and was supposod to know something about the country. We marchod by the way of Buffalo Bull Lake, crossing noar its moutli, at & wagon-ford, and traveled up the Big Wind River, along the south bank, for 65 milos, whon we were compolled to cross over to the morth sido, on account of tho hills shutting down to tho water's edgo, Tho broak hore in the route on the south bank of the river is & bad one, § miles long and almost impnasable for & wagon- road. Ti would cost nt least €6,000 to put a road through it. I knew of this bad place last sum- mor, but did not report it to Capt. Jones, who kuew nothing of it when ho made his report, ‘e only followod the north side 5 milos, until we crossod tho Noith Fork of Wind Rivor, about balf a milo aboveits mouth. Ourtravel now for 2 milea lay up tno stream, when wa recrossed Big Wiud River to the south sido. Following the bank 4 miles, we crossed McCoho's Fork noar it mouth, whick is 8 miles bolow MeCohe's Lake. T'lus lnko is vory bonutiful, about a wmila lon, aud halfl o mile wide; its wators clear, deop, an full of trout. I should linvo montioned above tunt we crossod Divwiddie's Forknear its mouth, 2 miles below a lake 2 miles loug, half a mile wide, and full of trout. This strcam and laks aro found 28 miles above Butfalo Bull Lake Fork by tho wagon-road, After crossing McCohe's Fork, wo traveled west 2 milos, and orossed Burnt Creols,—a flno stroam, 30 foot wido and 8 foor doop, Thrae miles'ferther on wa crossed Big Wind River ngain to the north sido, the moun- trine shutting down on the river. Ihis was our third erossing of Wind Ruvor, oud we now keps up its north bank to the mouth of De Nose's Tork, whoro we wero again compollod to orosa Big Wind Rivor to the south side, on account of murshy bottoms. Wae recrossed the Wind River within s mile to the north, this latter crossing being made above tho mouth of De Noss, snd the other Lulf or throe-quartera of a mile Lelow Do Nose. De Nose is a_Lig stroam, being ab loast twice the sizo of the Big Wind River above its mouth, The De Noge 18 & crooked, deep, sluggish river, with shoal sands and quicksanda, Its bottoms aud chanuols aro uncortain. It emptios about 20 to 26 miles from Tigmetos Paes, Our routo satill lay up the north side of Big Wind River, and 50 we continued until within 8 miles of the Pass. The timbor shoots In at this point, and tho trail runs theough timber all the balancs of the way, ‘We found the ground very marshy in placos, and wagons could not _be got over without a groat doal of work. I think, however, by going farthor round, & route could ba found over which & good wagon-road could be constructed with little caut or Inbor. 1am also quite sure & route from Camp Brown to the south end of the Yellowstoue Luke could be found that would bo 40 mules nearer than tho route traveled lasg summer by Capt. Jones® oxpadition, It would not go through Tigmeses Pass, bub through ono of tha passes northesatward of Tigmetoo, INDIANY, There was » large party of Sioux in Blg Wind River, at the mouth of Buffzlo Bull Luke, on the 16th of Juve, They were run upon by two af our maen whom we had ent fu with our wail, Undoubtedly the Indisns would have attacked oud killod our carriors had not the soldiers seen thom first, As it was, thoy got away into the hills, and found a strong piaco, from which tho Indians anw they could not dislodge them with~ out heavy loss, and 8o lot them aloue. Capt. Bates, who was at Brown with a company of cavalry, as soon 88 he heard it weut aftor those Indiang; but thoy had fifty hours’ start of Lim, and lio failed to come up with them, Woshakio, Chief of the Shoshonee Indians, sont six of Lus meon on the trail alter Capt, Bates turned bask. Those Indians returnod vesterday, and report the trail lod over to tho morth side of tho Owl Crock Afountains, where it divided,— art going enst, over Big Wind River, elow the Owl Creek Blountain and Canon, and thence noross Big Horn lountain, towards the heud of Powder River. The Bhoshonecs bad & fight with the Sioux, aud killed three of their povtes, T'he other part of the trail ran down the Big Wind River in the diroction of DPainted Rock Creols, which streamn empties into Wind Rivor from the eust, bolow Grey Bull and the Stinking Water. Tho Indiang report a hoatilo Siotix camp, of from 75 to 100 lodges, about 100 milos from Uamp Brown. Wo renched Brownon the 24th of Junw, and Iam writing you this on the 26th. The weather is fine, and tho gardens here are looking well, CAPT. JONES' EXPEDITION. It will bo remembered that, last summer, Gen, Ord sout out Capt. Jones, of the Eugineer (.‘nrpl. with an expodition, to tind a practicable wagon- roud from Camp Brown to the Yellowstune Lako. Camp Browu is located on Little Wind River, in tho vorthwestern part of Wyoming Territory; aud the objeot sought to bo accomplishod was to flud & uonror road into Moutana than that now traveled by way of Corlune, Should this road avor bo made, the overland frolsht for AMontans, now cartied from Corinne, would. probably bo carried by way of S uth Pass, Camp Browu, aud the Yellowstono Lako. It would loave the Union Puacitle Railroad &t Groen River, 846 milos west of Omaha, instend of Coriune, 1,067 wilcs wesb {rom Omaba, It would slko opon up & route to tho National Park and the wonderful curlosities of the Yollowstone Lake. Capt, Jonos saw tho grandest scenery in tho world: hot and cold springs, goysers shooting up water hundieds of feet into the air, vast gardons of natural dowors, and mountains coverod with flolds of snow. As a full account of thav expedition was published at the tune 1n Tie TRILUNE, it is unnocessary to rapoat anything hero, hie diutances estimated b{’ Jones wero as fol- lows: From Bryan,on the Union Pacifio Rail- way, to Camnp Btambaugh, 110 milos ; from Camp Stambaugh to Cnm? rown, 40 miles; from Brown to Big Wind Hiver, 20 ‘miles; from Big Wind River to Owl Creok, 50 miles; from Ovw! Crook to tho top of the Grest Divide, 130 miles ; from the top of the Great Divide to Yellowstone Lalke, 15 miles; from the Lake to Fort Ellis, in the Gallatin Valley, Montana, 140 miles; total, 516 milos. This distance was aftorwards ro- duced, in roturning, to 418 miles, It 18 o long roud, but somo day it will bo travoled, and tho now and beautifal country along it oponed up to wettloment, Capt. Junes found a pragticable youd, but it was thought s hortor, if not a bot~ tor, ono conld be obtamed, Maj, Gordon, Boce ond United States Cavalry, nudor ordovs of Gon, Augur, began the soarch for this rond in 1809, and Capt. Torvey's is the third oxpedition thwt haa bean seut out, Frow tha tone of Liout, Young's lotter, a thoroughly-sati sfactory route for & road does not scem to have vot_boon dis- coverad, 1t will be obsorvad that the Lioutenant thinks thero ia & still bottor route, at least 40 miles shortor than tho one over whioh Cant, ‘Torroy traveled ; and it is likely ono or two ma:e oxpeditions will have to bo sent out bofore tho mattor is thorougnly settled. Thata good rosd from Green River, or Bryan, or the Union Pa- citic, to Montana, can be found vis South Pass, Cawp Brown, nod Yellowstone Lake, there is not & doubt; and that it will be shorter tban tho oune from Corlnno to Montana, there cav alao bo hardly & doubt in the mind of any ono familiae with the upper country, Aanox Anour, —_— SUICIDES, Spectal Digpatoh to The Chicago Tridune, 8emiNovieLp, [, July 6.—This morning & man was found dead, with & platol-abot wound in his hoad, abous ono and a Lalf nufs west of the olty, Coroner Plorca summonod & jury and an fnquest was hold.
