(| SESE Perhaps, less trustworthy, to thé absurd vati- cinations of almanac makers? In 1854amove- ment was begun in Europe by the Agricultural Board of Toulon clamorously asking the Min- ister of Agriculture for just such weather data as now emanate from our Signal Office, the urgent need of which was just then very pal- pable from tho devastation of Provence by a storm that had raged twenty-four hours pre- viously at Havre, and might have been prean- nounced by an electric flash. A recent writer on sociology has ventured to assert that the Roman farmer in Virgil’s day understood the art of cultivating the soil as well as any professional agriculturist of the present age. Absurd as such an assertion unquestionably is, there can be no doubt that the advance of husbandry as a lucrative indus- try has been seriously retarded by the igno- rance of mankind as to that ‘‘various and mutable thing,"’ the weather, on the knowledge of whose conditions the farmer is so dependent. There can be little doubt that every intelli- gent tiller of the earth in this country sees the value of daily forecasts of the weather, and will -avail himself of them whenever they are brought within his reach. The great difficulty of obtaining them is the isolation of the inte- rior rural districts and their want of telo- graphic communication with the nearest signal station. In the Old World it is proposed that the prominent agricultural societies, the rural boards and the councils general shall contribute means to defray the small expenses incident to the forwarding by mail and the conspicuous publication of the forecasts at points remote from the great centres. In the United States our immense railway systems mako it practicable to furnish the weather news to thousands of country places within a few hours aftor the “probabili- ties’ are issued from the Signal Office and be- fore they become stale. The Post Office De- partment, by easy and inexpensive co-operation with the Signal Office, might, through its army of postmasters, receive and display the weather bulletins on the arrival of their mails, and thus greatly multiply the benefits of the Signal Service observations to thousands of farmers who do not now enjoy the advantage of them. It is hardly possible that any news- paper can be so far behind the times as to de- cline an application to. publish any telegraphio or other woathay intclliscace tase may be trangmitted to it from Washington, The sub- ject is of such incalqulable importance to the forming and general interests of the whole ‘country that the local authorities and_commit- tees of agricultural societies should take imme- diate and earnest action. , ‘ _ PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, ose a ns ke I "OE Senter” General 8. @.

Herald Special Report from the Seat of War. Monterey Reoccupied by the Government Troops Without a Fight. RETREAT OF THE REVOLOTIONISTS. General Ceballos in Communication with Saltillo, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK #ERALO, The Hzpdtp correspondent at Matamoros has forwarded us the following special de- Matamoros, Mexico, July 8, spatch: — Via Brownsviitz, Texas, July 8, 1872. | Early this morning a telegraphic despatch was received from General Ceballos, .Com- mander-in-Chief of the government troops, saying that he had occupied Monterey, the revolutionists having retired without a combat. Despatches received this evening state, in confirmation of this report, that General Pala- cios, commanding a portion of government troops, had driven the revolutionary General Quiroga from Cadereita toward Monterey, meeting General Ceballos’ advance about two leagues from that city. General Quiroga of- fered battle for the purpose of covering his retreat, but after the exchange of a few shots he changed his plans, and finally withdrew to- wards Salinas, leaving the entrance to Monte- rey open to the government troops. The city was occupied without resistance, and General Garcia Ayala, with a Juarista force, has started in pursuit of Quiroga. CEBALLOS COMMUNICATING WITH SALTILLO, Com Cobatlog “now claims. that ‘he is in comtitinfoatlon, with Golonel Revueltos and General Récha in Saltiilo, about esvetity five miles distant from his (Ceballos’) headquar’ ters. He thakés, however, no mention of Gen- eral Trevifio, who yas known to have sur- rounded Saltillo a-few days since, Ceballos has algo telegraphed that the Administrator of ‘the Matamoros Custom House should arrange a convoy of goods to leave for Monterey imme- diately, but the latter has responded that there vere no traing at present. 0 _By order of tho authorities of this city all the church bells are rung in celebration of the “reported vietory of the Juaristas. The people, however, take 4 part in these joyful mani- festations, and there ‘is “a feeling of distrust throughout the community. Confirmation of the Capture of Monterey by the Government Troops—Trevino’s Alleged Extortions in Monterey—Re- ported Imprisonment of the United States Consul. MarTamonos, Mexico, July 8, 1872, Telegraphic communication with Monterey was resumed to-day. It is announced that the govern- ment forces under General Cebatios entered that city this morning at six o'clock, the revolutionists, under Trevifio and Quiroga, having abandoned the place precipitately on the approach of two columns of government troops under General Rocha from Saltiilo and General Ceballos from the frontier. Trevifio, with a considerable force, was at Salinas, whence the combined calvary force of Generals Rocha, Revueltas and Monclova had gone in pursuit. The infantry remains in Monterey, recuperating from their late severe forced marches. Monterey is reported to present a most pitiable appearance. Business had been suspended under the revolutionists, in consequence of forced loans, and many families and merchants had fied. The last act of Trevifio was a prestamo, The United States Consul was imprisoned for refusing to pay and his place of business seized. Another American citizen was assessed $12,000 or to re- ceive 500 lashes, and only got off by paying $5,000. The entrance of the government forces was hailed with joy by the population remaining in Monterey. It is feared that the revolutionists carried off many prominent citizens, who are missing, to hold as hostages or for further rob- bing. The news was received in this city by ring- ing bells, firing cannon and music. Gen- eral Rocha’s, Ceballos’ and Revueltas’ forces amount to 7000 men, and will be used under General Rocha’s immediate command to capture Treviiio and Quiroga or drive them from the country. The revolution seems to be practi- cally ended. The chiefs are believed to be only- keeping their men together to secure terms of sur. render from the government. The merchants here appear relieved. Numbers repaired to the Custom House and congratulated the authort- ties on the promised résumé of business at once. United States Consul Ulrich telegraphed at five P.M. from Monterey that General Ceballos gives complete guarantees to all peaceably-disposed citi- zens. THE IRISH BAND.

Lonpon, July 8, 1873, The House of Lords was crowded to-night on the floor and in the galleries, The Ballot bill was to come up again. It had ‘deen passed, with amendments, which the House of Commons refused to accept, and been returned to the upper chamber for final action ; so a contest between the two Houses was expected, Amid unwonted excitement their Lordships Voted 157 to 188 not to insist on their amendment making the use of the secret ballot optional; but by @ vote of 117 to 58 they adhered to the amend- ment making the bill provisional. Other important amendments were abandoned. ‘These concessions will probably satisfy the Com- Mons and secure the passage of the bill. DISTINGUISHED AMERICAN VISITORS IN THE HOUSE. Lieutenant Fred, D.

Secretary Delano’s Letter to Brigham Young at Salt Lake—The Government Desires Severe Me: res to be Taken if Necessary—Gencral Information from the Southwest Concerning the Hostile Tribes. WASHINGTON, July 8, 1872, The following letter was written by Secretary Delano and addressed to Brigham Young to-day :— DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, WASHINGTON, July 8, 1872. Srr—I have very satisfactory information of the existence of considerable discontent among the Indian population in your territory, and I am ap- prehensive that there are some eévil-minded white ersons who are, and have been, contributing heir influence to produce this dissatisfaction. My information is so full and reliable ag to induce the belief that ail preper measures should at once be resorted to on the part of the government to allay this dissatisfaction and pre- vent, if possible, any action by the Indians referred to, I must also express the opinion that I deem it wise for the government at once to take such preli nary steps as will insure the prompt punish- ment of any Indians who are guilty of disturbing the peace, as well as such white persons, if any, as may contribute their influence to the same end. Ihave a high appreciation of your knoweldge of the Indian character, as well as your de- sire to promote the public peace ‘and the welfare of these savage men. J have, therefore, in the absence of the President, and without any opportunity of conferring with’ him, deemed it advisable to present to you the facts herein referred to, and I most earnestly solicit your Kd my sincere thanks for your courtesy and indness during my recent visit to Salt Lake City, which acknowledgment I should have made some time since but for the pressure of official duties since my return. I have the honor to be, very re- spectfully, your obedient servant, C, DELANO, Secretary of the Interior. The best information, both from military and civil sources, which the Indian oMicers are able to obtain wholly discredits the recent alarming re- ports of general -Indian hostilities in the southwest portion of the indian Territory and upon the borders of Texas, These reports appear to have mainiy originated in statements made by a renegade whom Major Gen- eral Pope pronounces wholly unworthy of credit. General Pope reports officially, under date of the 12th ultimo, that there ts no foundation for the fear of a general Indian war in that section. The camps of these Indians have just been visited by a confidential officer of the Indian service, Whose reports confirm the statements of General Pope, and diately in charge of the Kiowas, who are one of the two tribes most recently brought in from the Plains, and upon whom the Indian roy of the administration has been _ triec for the shortest time and under the reatest disadvantages, and who are responsible for substantially all the depredations of recent date, which, however, are committed by smail bands, and not by the tribe. The present exaspera- tion of the Kiowas has been in part due to the imprisonment at Hunteville, Texas, of Satanta and Big ‘Tree, two their most prominent chiefs, who were arrested several months ago by General Sherman. If any impression has gone abroad that the Indian Odlce or the Interior Department is desirous to shield these depredating bands from punishment by the military it is a wholly mistaken one. Nothing woula go further to advance the present Indian policy than a prompt and effective chastisement | of the marauders, and it is 80 understood by those who are administering Indian affairs both in the Indian Territory and in Washington. The Indian Office would be tions against the Indians of their reservation, combined with the feeling and civilizing system for those who remain at peace.

FISH'S COMMUNICATIONS, SECRETARY The President’s Ready Acceptance of the Decision. WASHINGTON, July 8, 1872. The following is the telegraphic correspondence which passed between the State Department and J. ©. Bancroft Davis, our agent at Geneva, during the first session of the Geneva Tribunal, when the fate of arbitration was undetermined, It will be remembered that Mr. Davis was furnished with copies of all the correspondence which passed between the British government, Minister Schenck and the Sate Department, before the assembling of the tribunal on the 15th of June, He awaited the ac- tion of the British agent on the assembling of the tribunal, but finding himseif without recent instructions asked for an adjournment till June 17, At the conference on that day Count Sclopis, Pres- ident of the Tribunal, anticipated the ‘point at issue, and Mr. David Immediately telegraphed to Secretary Fish as follows:— DAVIS TO FISH—NO. 1. GENEVA, June 17, 1872. To Secretary Fisn, Washington :— The Conference adjourned to Wednesday, the 19th inst. Arbitrators will probably, in ad- vance ot time indicated in treaty, ex- press their opinions that claims ‘for in- creased insurance, transfer of marine and | pope ype of the war do not constitute in public jaw good ground for an award of compensation in Money. Should that be done counsel will advise me, in writing, that after such an intimation of opinion the United States cannot ask the tribunal further gopeldgy tnése claims in mak- ing its “Award. is expected that on this footing the regular course of the tribunal with adjournment may be maintained. [ agree to the Policy and propriety of such a course, and shall telegraph more fully asking for instruction, r nie aU Abs ___ DAVIS. On the following day, June 8, after cofisuitation with the Cabinet, the President requested Secretary Fish to telegraph as follows :— ‘ "FIs #0 DAVIS—NO. U1. To Davis, Geneva:— Such opinion as is indicated in your telegram of yesterday, without vious argument, might be — as discourteous, It 1s desirable, therefore, that such expres- sion be accompanied by the further expression in some proper but saficient form of the tribunal that these claims, although of a nature legally inadmissible as the foundation of an award in money against a neutral for failure to observe its obligations, have nevertheless been roperly submitted to the tribunal, and were within its province. If thus accompanied it will place this government right. You will endeavor to ob- tain such expression, and Granville telegraphs t ‘Thornton that the adjournment on Saturday an esterday were asked by you, as you were without tructions. <P rr eta y Ray aye Fisu 16 DAVEE.

EXCLUSION OF THE INDIRECT CLAIMS. At the conference of the tribunal on the 19th of June the announcement was made that the ar- bitrators had carefully considered the mooted points, and, without expressing any opinion there on, made, through Count Sclopis, a declaration of the opinion of the tribunal on the subject of conse- quential damages. The despatch of Bancroft Davis Was as follows :— DAVIS TO FISH—NO. IV. GENEVA, June 19, 1872, To Secretary Fisn, Washington :— ‘At the sesston of the tribunal this morning Vount Sclopis made the declaration that the motion of the British Agent for adjournment and the reasons given for making it—namely, the difference between. the governments as to the competency of the tribu- nal to determine the three classes of indirect claims—continues, This being so the arbitrators think it right to state that, alter the most careful perusal of all that has been urged on the part of the government of the United States in respect of these claims, they have arrived individually and collectlyely at the conclusion that these claims (do not constitute upon the principles of international !aw, applicable to all such cases, good foundation for an award of com- pensation and computation of ‘damages between hations, and should upon such ae be wholly excluded from the consideration of the tribunal in making up its award, If there were no dis- agreement between the two governments as to the competency of the tribunal. to decide thereon, with a view toa settlement of the other claims, to the consideration of which by the tribu- | nal no exception has been taken on the part of Her | Britannic Majesty's government, the arbitrators have thought it desirable to lay before the parties this expression of the views they ave formed as to the interpretation or effect of the treaty upon the question of public law involved. The arbitrators do not pro- pose to express any opinion on the points of diifer- ence between the two governments, but it seems to them obvious that the substan- tial object of the adjournment must | be to give the two governments an opportunity of determining whether the claims in question shall or shall not be submitted to the arbi- | trators, and that any difference between the two governments on this C peony may make the adjourn- | ment unproductive of any useful effect, as a delay of many months, during which both nations may be kept ina STATE OF PAINFUL SUSPENSP, may end in a resnit which it is to be presumed both overnments would equally deplore—that of mak- ing this arbitration wholl, abortive, They have, therefore, deemed it proper to an- nounce these views, in order that after this declaration by the tribunal it may be considered by the government of the United States whether any course can be adopted respecting the first men- tioned claims, which would relieve the tribunal from the necessity of beetle upon the present ap- | plication of Her Britannic Majesty's goveruament for adjournment, FISH TO DAVI8—NO. V. To this Secretary Fish replied as follows :— | To Davis, Geneva :— WASHINGTON, June 23, 1872, Your telegram of the 19th informs me that the Tribunal has made a declaration that a class of the | claims set forth in the case presented in behalf | of the United States does not constitute, | upon the principles of international law applicable to such cases, a good foundation for an award of compensation or computation of damages between nations, and upon such Viki! ie should be wholly | excluded from the consideration of the tribunal in making up its award. You also informed me | that the counsel of this government at Geneva have | advised in writing that they are of the opinion | that the announcement thus made by | the tribunal must be received by the United States as determinative of the question of | pes law involved, upon which tho United States | have insisted upon taking the opinion of the tri- bunal; that the counsel advise therefore that this | judgment be submitted to on the claims set forth | in the case presented on thy; part of the United | States for losses in the | TRANSFER OF THE AMERICAN COMMERCIAL MARINE to the British flag, the enhanced payments of insur- | ance, and the prolongation, of the war, und the ad- | dition of a large sum to tye cost of the war and the suppression of the rebgilion, as adjudicated and | disposed of, and that consequently they should | not be farther togisted upon before the | tribunal by the Unite States, but are henceforth | excluded from its consideration by the tribunal in making its aw: The President directs me to | say that he accepts the declaration of the tribunal | as its Ly yy upon a question of public | law, which he had felt that the interests of | both governments required should be decided, and for the detervaination of which he had_ felt it important to prevent the claim referred to for the purpose of taking the opinion of the tribunal. This | Is the attainment of an end which this government | had in view in the putting forth of these claims. We had no desire for a pecuniary award, but de- sired an expression by the tribunal as to the Habil- | ity of a neutral for claims of that character, | THE PRESIDENT, THERBPORR, ACCRPTS | the opinion and advice of the counsel as set forth above, aud authorizes the announcement to the tribunal that he accepts their declaration as de- tervaiualiy¢ Of heir judgmeut UpgD fhe Question af public law upon which he had <elt it his daty to seek the expression of theit vpinion; and that, accordance with sven judgment and no from, neefort® he re- rds a8 precluding the propriety ef ti pon the claims payers by t lara- tion of the tribunal; the United States, Intaining the due course of arbi- tration on the other claims, without adjournment, announce its opinion that the claims re! by the tribunal will not be further ited upon by the United States, and may be ex from its sideration by the tribunal in making {ts award. Mr. Davis acknowledged the recelpt of the above instructions in the following brief telegram :— Geneva, June 2%, 1072, To Seoretary Fisn, WasmIxaTON: 9 Ihave received your despatch with the response of the United States to the declaration of the tribunal, I am desired by onr counsel to express bg Senet One. wil to add my Saas, Shae action taken e tribunal is acceptable to the President, is i Upon the receipt of the despatch of the 23d Mr. Davis Informed Count Sclopis that he was prepared to acquaint the arbitrators with the answer of bis government to their declaration. Accordingly the tribunal was convened on the 25th of June, and on the following day, Wednesday, June 26, Mr. Davis, on the authority conferred, made the Statement as instructed, and communicated to Secretary Fish what he had done im the following telegram :— DAVIS TO FISH—NO. VI, Gengva, June 26, 1872, To Secretary Fist, Washington :— ig At the Conference convened this day by Count Sclopis [said the declaration made by the tribunal, individually and collectively, respecting the claims presonted by the United States for the award of the tribunal on the losses in the 1. transfer of American commercial marine to the British fag; 2, the enhanced payment of in- surance, and, 3, the prolongation of the war and the addition of a large sum to the cost of the war and suppression of the rebellion, is accept by the Pres- ident of the United States as determiMative of their judgment upon tho important question of law in- volved. The agent of the United States ts author- ized to say that, consequently, the above men- tioned claims will not be further insisted upon before the tribunal by the United States, and may be excluded from ail consideration im any award that may be made. To this Lord Tenterden replied, “I will inform m; fovernment of the declaration made by the arbl- rators on the 19th instant, and of the statement now made by the agent of the United States, and request their instructions.” The tribunal then adjourned to Thursday, at eleven o'clock, to enable him to communicate by telegraph with his govern- ment, DAY Is. Lord Tenterden, the agent of the British govern- ment, immediately upon the statement being made by the American agent, telegraphed to London what had been done by the American government, and the conference of the arbitrators on the follow: ing day announced that no obstacle remained for the arbitration to proceed as originally intended, Our agent telegraphed to Washington as fol- CANOE DOLLY VARDEN.

The Wild Rice River was ascended for thirty-one miles in the manner described in the last letter. At the end of that distance a landing was made, and early this morning 8 portage of tive miles was begun, through @ tamarack forest, in the directiow ofa chain of three small lakes. The geveral coursa Was south-southeast. The forest was quite bogey in places, and frequent windfalls were en- countered, The term windfall is applied by the half-breeds of Northern Minnesota to the path ofa tornado, It is not an unfrequent occurrence ta encounter in the heart of a pine forest the track of @ hurricane which has cut for itself a passage through the largest trees, and left them torn aud uprooted, 80 that they form an almost impassable barrier to the travéller, Several were encoun- tered in this portage of fie miles, all evidently of different ages. 1t was with no little fear and trem. bling that the crew, stumbling along behind, saw the Dolly on the Indian’s head frequently twelve and fifteen feet from the ground, The results of a misstep or of a” rotten limb upon the future of the voyage were repeatedly suggested to the mind of the anxious crew. Not unfrequently the guide, who went ahead with the birch-bark canoe on his head, would be forced to stop and hew @ passage along the trunk of @ prostrate tree. The axe was never out of hia hand during the entire portage. Never since the exploration for the Panama Railroad was such & forest of matted brush and fallen limbs encown- tered, The soil, wherever observable through the TR a was composed chietly of a paie red and, Within about one-half mile of the end of tne portage a fine forest of oak and basswood waa reached.

Crncrnnati, Ohio, July 8, 1872: Aspecial to the Gazette says the rumors of late, that the people of Mercer counly, Ohio, would take the law into their own hands with reference to the supposed inhuman murderers of Miss Belle Secor, who was outraged on her way from Sunday school two weeks agoand then murdered and thrown aside to be partiy consumed by hogs, were this morning roved to have been well founded, At an early hour his morning people began to arrive in Celina, where the prisoners, Jacob Kimble; Absolom Kimble and Alexander Mr.Cloud were incarcerated. Arrivalscon- tinued till ter o'clock, when about three thousand had assembled. They then surrounded the jail, took forcible possession of the jailor, dispos- sessed him of his keys, and, alter effecting en- trance to the cells, took therefrom the three prisoners and removed them, under a strong guard, toa wagon, The Kimble farm, where the shocking crime was committed, is twelve miles away. To this place the determined crowd an- nounced their determination to remove the pris- oners and then execuie the — sentence which an outraged community has pro- nounced, The procession moved off quietly and in an orderly manner. What subsequently transpired 18 not known, but the vigilantes are in charge of the men, and it is believed they wiil not return until their prisoners have pald the penalty of their crime with their lives.

A BEAUTIFUL LAKE, This lake, a5 Well as the two others which follow, is a continuation of the Wild Rice River, which! after flowing @ long distance to the northeast. turns and flows to the south-southeast, surround gu all sides by a grove similar to that in which we were. This charming lake, scarcely one and a halfmile in length, with its beach of sparklin sand, was a picture to delight the eyes of the tire! Vvoyagers, and throwing off our packs, guide, Indian and crew rushed down to the water's edge to quench their thirst, This lake seemed the har- binger of clvillzation, and its sours circumference was scanned pith @ Meld glass in the vain hope that some human habitation ¢duld be found. The Dolly was soon launched, and the bright paddle blades clove the dark green water. The trolling line soon secured for dinner two large bass. Tho lake stretched about north and south, and the course towards the inlet was about northeast, A stream enters the lake at that point, and the canoes pushed at once into the opening. After a short distance, however, it was lost in the rushes, and the guide springing into the water, while the In- dian took the painter of the Dolly, the canoes were Kei od Fa what soocarey pe ory ore G rk or nh invisible channel. ‘The uide ott a nA ate up to their waists, aud the gs AN “RATE Ft a “Tr oc” RUSHES N BECAME 80 DENSE 4 9 that the crew was forced to get out into the water to lighten thé canoe, A shallow lake of smait size was shortly after reached, and, all getting aboard, was soon crossed, Seeing a number of ducks in the water near the outlet, the crew of the Dolly got ashore and, after creeping Snes the wet grass until within very short range, fired into the midst of them, Strange to say the party dined on fish and bacon. After pulling the canoes over a half amule of floating bog they were again, launched in Lake Ah-shaw-way-way-se-té-gen, of Portage Lake, so named because the next Ronee reaches the banks of the Mississippl. In this lake, the source of the Wild Rice River, is THE FAMOUS SPIRIT ISLAND, reverenced and dreaded alike by the mapper ne and Sioux. The island 1s nearly tu the middle ot the lake and does not contain more than half an acre. In the centre a green, grassy mound rises symetrically to a height of thirty feet. The India gid thata single specimen of every tree in the fasca region grew upon the island. He then re- lated to the crew, the guide actliig as interpreter, the legend of the place, and tn the narration ox- hibited considerable excitement. He said sub- stantially, that long years ago, before a white mart was ever seen In THE ITASCA COUNTRY, a party of Indians were crossing this lake in & canoe, That when they were about opposite to the island they saw a white woman, very old and hag- gard, standing on the shore and motioning them away. Her hair, as white as snow, hung ln & matted bunch about her shoulders. Her eyes glared flercely and her jaws with their tootifess og champed with rage. The crew would sw i or ere that the picture of that poor, soil- tary and unfortunate woman as drawm by” the Indian and = guide was enough to strike terror into a listener around the heartu- stone of a country homestead. The vagaries to wh Ichabod Crane gave ready ear wouldt fore paled before it, In conciusion, the Indian said tha the woman had been watched from @ distance and had been seen to go off to the mainland on a log and to return with sprigs of each spec! ‘That the Indians would not set foot on the Ist ‘en to this day and as much as possible avoi the lake. The crew of the Doily resolved to take dinner on the island, KNOWN AS MAW-NE-DO-M in Chippewa, and, pulling ashore, be for the fire, ‘The guide soon’ arrived and t entire charge of the culinary department, Asce ing the mound it was found to be a perfect sugar The trees of the surrounding country were all present except the tamarack, There were many of the same kind, but how the old lady could have been so careless as to overlook the tamarack, the crew, after passing so many in the morning, could not imagine. The Indian came ashore with evident reluctance. Dinner over, the island was searched from one end to the other, but not the slightest trace of an Indian camping ground could be detected. The mound was quite curtous, and may be of artificial forma- tion, for traces of THE MOUND BUILDERS exist in several places in Northern Minnesota. The excavation of that probable relic of a past race is left to the next visitor ‘The canoes again in the water, the — was soon reached, and after @ five-mile tramp through country very much similar to the tramp of the morning the BANKS OF THE MISSISSIPPI were reached. During the whole of this walk through the woods it never ceased raining for w moment, The Mississippi at this point, about eight miles from Lake Itasca, is not more than fifteen feet in width, and wanders (ae a valley of about twelve ‘hundred feet in width, bounded om either side with thick pine forests. These regions, at present inaccessible to the lumberman, will one day furnish the material to keep the saws of Minneapolis running. We will ascend to the lake early in the morning.
