Mississippi Expedition by late ac-
counts received from Prairie du Chem and
st. Peters we learn that The Barracks at
the Cantonement at ST. Peters are erected
aud the troops comfortably quartered for
the winter. They have commenced
ploughing for the next year, and will pro-
bably raise sufficient for the support OF
the troops during the ensuing season. The
climate is mild and pleasant--rnuch more
so than could be expected at Al deg. SO
min. N. The soil is abundantly rich,
and nature has prepared il for the plough
Grass IS also 10 great abundance aud suffi-
cieni Tor any quantity Of cattle.


The expenses Of this highly important
and interesting expedition have been very
small, but this circumstance ought not to
lead the public 10 direct their attention to
objects Of no greater consequence, but
which employ much greater share of
public funds.


Several specimens Of copper and iron
ore have been found, and large quantities
of both exist without doubt 10 this country.


Game is procured 10 great abundance.


The Indians continue to be perfectly
friendly.
