T1IE RED RIVER EXPEDITION.
Hew It Is Compottrd and Whnt It Ik to Do The
uilliuuluea ol the lUurcb.
The British expedition to lied river is to ren
dezvous at Collingwood, and will consist of 000
rej-nlars and 1400 volunteers. The expedition
will proceed thence by steamers to Fort William,
provided permission can be obtained from our
Government to pass through the Hault Ste.
Marie Canal. At Fort William the actual diffi
culties of the inarch commence. There are,
lint, 28 miles of a march to Dog Lake, where
the brats will be called into requisition. The
next stage is along Dog Lake and river, a dis
tance ot 35 miles. The river is a sluggish and
wiuding stream, about 23 yards wide, rising only
18 feet in 35 miles, and running through a Hut
and swampy valley about one mile wide. At its
head there are three portages, five miles in
length, risiig 205 feet, and traversing the height
of Hi nd between the levels of Lukes Superior
and Winnipeg.
V These are the Prairie, Middle, and Saranne
portxges, and are easily made, though the last
is swunjpy and would require drainage. Over
all these the boats must be dragged by oxen or
boretF, and the provisions, etc., conveyed by
hand. Taking to watr again, the troops pro
ceed down the Savanne river, a muddy and
menndering stream, much clogged by drift
wood, to Lac des Mille Lacs, nineteen miles,
and acrofs the lake, thirty-six miles, to the
Heine. This lake is studded with numerous
islets and the scenery is bold and rocky. En
teiing the Seine, which is from one hundred to
two l.undrcd feet wide, and winds through a
flat, wooded valley, a sail of ten miles brings us
to the Little Fulls at the junction with the Fire
Bieel river. These are literally Little Falls, only
twenty-five feet high. Down the Seine, bounded
by low hills of the primitive formation, a coarse
(if slxtv-six miles, with five portages, leads to
Balny Luke.
This lake contains some 500 islands, mainly
composed of pule red granite and chloritic and
green-Etone slate; and though they are very
picturesque, they are desolate and barren. There
are tome 15,000 Indians here of the Saulteux
tribe, and loyal to England. The distance over
and hlor.g the lake to Fort Francis is fifty miles.
Were, at the Hudson Bay Company's post, there
is a portage of 200 yards past Rainy Falls. 23
feet nigh, and entering Rainy river. This is a
ires in from 250 to 450 yards wide, winding
through an alluvial country rich and beautiful,
and studded with groves of maple, birch and
oak. There are a quarter of a million of acres
of the finest land in the world here, and naviga
tion le onlv interrupted by two insignificant
r it ids. In the whole 74 miles of river the fall
is only 2ti.j feet. The river debouches into the
Lake of the Woods. The Lake of the Woods
crosses its northern angle, 84 miles, and here
the boats must be left. The lake is crowded
with numerous islands on which the Indians
frrow maize, and wild rice springs np every
where in the water. The line of march is due
'west, over the prairie.
'1 he first 60 miles are wooded and swampy,
the last 32 are open prairie. The Government
road bat been built as far as the White Marth
river, crossing the Red river, about 300 feet
wide, after 534 miles by steamer, 345 miles by
featteau, and 120 miles by road a total distance
iroiu Collingwood of exactly 1000 miles at
Jort Garry. The town of Winnipeg contains
only some 250 or 300 inhabltents; the total
population of Red river settlement is between
12,00 and 15,000. This is now Kiel's head
quarters. It is 74 miles from Pembina and 580
fr m St. Paul.
'J he expedition, it is understood, will leave
Collingwood about the 1st of June. A detaeh
n ent will leave Fort William on the 1st of Muy
to clear the way, open the portages, etc.

Citt of Mexico, April 11. We are glad to
announce the apparent end of the revolutionary
troubles in our immediate vicinity, and are only
anxious about the dark cloud which it is said Is
threatening the upper States on the PaclQc
coast. Whether it be for plunder or for ambi
tion it is not yet known except to the few.
although it is quite certain that Vega has sud
denly proven to nis enemies mat nis menus are

aided by arms and won as well as money from
Ban Fruucisco are passing about, more reliable

the Congress of the United States upon the con
t) it ion of Mexico and the means which should
be sdonted to improve the same has been repub
lished here by the official paper of tno Govern
ment. The railroad projects suggested by the
General have not yet been acted
upon by Congress, and that honora
ble body has so far only frittered
tway Its time. The Tehuantcpec Canal bill has

The law was passed yesterday by a vote of 95 to
xj, in coniormuy wun the petition or tno rresi
dent, grunting an extension for one vear of
the law buspending the habeas corpus, under
which so many highwaymen and klduapper
nave been executed the past year. The most
alarming intelligence coutlnues to reach us of
the condition of things In Slnaloa. Placido
Vega is rumored to have a Urge artnv of rovo-
lutioni-ts at his command, and to have can-
tureu ainzuuuu, wimn iurge-tmoun-, or treasure

hubi is said to have fled for his life, but It is
piobable, If there happened to be a vessel in
port, tlmt he put some of the treasure on board
ana ten wun it ior Acapmco to save it irom
Vega. Strange rumors are again afloat of the
union of Martinez, Canities, Vega, Lozada aud
others lor the iormation oi a northern con
f dwracy to be called the "Confederacy of the
Sierra iiaare. ui mis more nereatter.
The rumor was current in the streets last eve
nine that the troops of the Government had
captured Noriega and Batanzaa In the afternoon
of yesterday, and that they were immediately
shot, but needs confirmation. The following
statement, which had appeared in the press of
this city, aho needs confirmation, viz., that npon
the departure of Governor Cadona and Martinez
from .acatecas, they took the road for Fres
nlllo, and that in the valley of Valparaiso a
revolt occurred of all the forces against Cadena,
Martinez taking everything away from Cadena,
including the 135,000 which be had from bis last
sack of acatecas; that the troops endeavored to
kill Cadena, but Martinez prevcutcdlt, and gave
him a personal guard of twenty-five men to ac
company him, who went to Plrios Cantes, be
yond Teul, and from thenco entered the Sierra
of Tlaltcnango. The eame report says the people
of the neighboring villages went in pursuit
for his capture.
The nes is confirmed of the execution of
Noriega ai d one Jesus Santa Anna no relative

Mr. Schlotzen, cprcsentatlvo of the North
German Confederation at this capital, It will be
remembered, has gone home to secure the con
firmation of the treaty recently signed by him-
pell on behnil or the nation he represents, aud
Mr. Lerdo de Tciada in behalf of Mexico. The
Jievisla has published the entire treaty, and
makes the oomment upon it "that it contains
some clauses in open contradiction with several
treaties and declarations of the Prussian Gov
ernment."
Seven nice young Mexicans have just been
arrested here for counterfeiting coins. Among
their aims was that of manufacturing American
$20 gold pieces. They have b. en provided with
quarters in the public prison and await trial. A
very good imitation of United States $2 50

ST. DOMINGO.
The Feellnc Ketrardlnc Annexation In Touil-
nlcti- Caural Outluweo by fres'aent Haez,
St. Domingo City, April 18. We are anxi
ously awaiting news from the United States of
the result of the annexation question in Con
gress. The delay is creating much uneasiness
here, and many fear that Congress will not act
upon the question during the present session. If
they do not it is to he leared that the long
strained serves of our people, who so much
desire and have been so long promised annexa
tion, will react, and in their disappointment
they will oppose annexation as strongly as
they have worked for it a proceeding which
would make Baez's position an extremely criti
cal one, and possibly result in his complete
overthrow and the placing of Luperon or Cabral
at the head ol aitairs an effect which it is earn
estly to be hoped may never ensue; lor It would
cause the total destruction of all business and
trade, and all the interests of the island would
be brought to a standstill, giving it a shock from
which it could not recover for years.
Baez has issued a decree outlawing Cabral.
staling us the reason that Cabral is at Polo at
the head of insurgents; that he did interfere
with Salnave and his ministers and women and
children, taking them in the Dominican terri
tory, Inhumanly butchering some of them, and
liDaliy selling rsainave to ins enemies to be shot,
for the Bum of 95000, being an inhuman crime
against the laws of the country and the consti
tution, and an act of war against a nation with
which this country Is at peace. The decree is
as follows:
Article 1. Senor Jose Maria Cabral, formerly
Generator the Armies of the Dominican Republic,
sua now acting as an ameer or arem ror carrying
out the projects of Haytl against this republic, is by
this manifesto declared an outlaw, and any person
Is authorized to seize and slay him.
The second article commands the executives of
the different districts to publish and carry out article
first.

B. Baez, President
THK WAR KEW8.
Cabral had marched from San Juan on his
way to Azua, with 1200 men, and General
Oganda, with 600 more, had left Neyba to join
him in this movement. An engagement took
place with the Government troops at Biajama,
in which Cabral was snccessful and took a nam
ber of prisoners, lie pursued the routed troopfc
of Baez until they reached Llaya, a village three
miles from Azua, where they were reiuforced
and made a stand; but Cabral again defeated
them with great slaughter, putting them to com
plete rout. Cabral was at last accounts await-

an attack on Azua. Baez, on hearing this,
despatched a battalion of troops, all natives of
Azua, whicn is also ms Dirtnpiace, and expresses
confidence that they, with the troops already
there, will successfully defend the eity. Azua
is the most important town of the South, and is
the key of the country. There are only two
towns between Azua and St. Lomlngo City

THRILLING TRAGEDY.

tempt to Murder . Captain, but aro Killed
and Thrown Into the ltlver.
The Memphis Appeal of April 21 says:
Some davs since the police of this citv ir
rested two men giving fictitious names, on
charge of complicity in a murder rumored to
have been commuted at or near Cottonwood
Point, on the river, some 120 miles above town
Nothing appearing against them, they wero
released after a few hours detention. The fol
lowing particulars of the affair, of which the
rumor had only reached us, came to our posses
sion yeBterday, which 6how that a most extra
ordlniiry and bloody affair really did occur at
the aforesaid point, and the murderers, If such
they be, did come ashore at Memphis, and were
probably the parties arrested by tne police.
About a week ago a lumber-raft belonging ta
Colonel Mathews, of Vicksburg, left Cairo. It
was in command or charge of a man named
Mclntyre. His crew were live in number, aud
consisted ot Aiictiaei JUcUuire, his partner,
Deuuis Dowd, Wilson, Ferguson, and a negro,
name unknown.
McGulre and his partner bad some hard words
immediately after leaving Cairo, and when the
raft was some four or live miles above Cotton
wood point, they agreed to go on shore and
fight the mutter out, usking Wilson to row them
athorc for that purpose. After getting on shore,
however, they concluded not to light, and both
wanted to go for Wilson. Ho, not having any
cause of quarrel, begged off aud rowed the
troublesome couple back to the raft.
That evening McGuiro and Dowd became
very boisterous, but no one thought them dan
gerous, and ot 8 o'clock Captain Mclntyre,
Wilson, aud Fergurson retired to bed, leaving
the negro and them on deck. They had scarcely
composed th emselves to rest when thev sav
McGulre and Dowd come in, the former bearing
an ax and the latter a long knife. Fergusou,
us soon as ho saw them, rolled back in his buuli
Biruliibt the weather-hoarding, which gave wav.
and he fell outside. The two armed dcuperadocs
immediately made for Wilson and Mclntyre, but
as luck would have it McGuire stumbled before
reaching the bunk of the latter and dropped his
ax. Before he could recover it the intended
victim sprang up, and seizing It, buried it in
Seeing Dennis about to use bis knife on Wll
son, Mclntyre drew the axe from the skull of
McGulre and struck him down, killing him
almost instantly.
The bodies of the would-be murderers were
unceremoniously thrown into the river, aud
' when the raft arrived at this city Mclntyre and
i Wilson, who, though they felt perfectly justi
1 liable is what they had done, dreadine the
tedious process of law, jumped from the craft
and came ashore. The negro and the other man
carried the raft down to Vicksburg, where It
was delivered to its owner, Colonel Mathews,
Ferguson detailing to him the horrible affair as
related above.
The.anthorltles promptly arrested him, and
now hold him. The police of this city are on
the h ckoui for the rearrest of Mclntyre and
Wilson, who, it is supposed, are still in town.
Further developments may be looked for to-day.
A POET'S SUICIDE.
Tlie I.nte AInlnr NlHourner-Ntnnlnr Tll.
lorv of the Authorship or "The Hrantllul
Doubtless all, or nearly nil, of the persons
w ho read this article have read and admired a
little poem called "The Beautiful Snow," which,
immediately on its appearance a few years ago,
attracted attention.
On the night of Friday last Major William A.
II. Sigourney was found dead on the Blooming
dale road, New York, lie was shot through the
bead, and all the circumstances of the case
showed that be bad committed suicide a few
hours before he was found. The body was
taken to the bouse of a friend In Ono Hundred
a tw! nPAfh strppt wh.ra an InnnMt wo a haM
and whence it was removed to Greenwood
Cemetery and there buried. Upon his person
were found letters from Mr. Stephen Massett
(Jeems Pipes), Mr. J. Jay Watson, and Mrs.
Lydia II. Sigourney.
Maior sigourney was the nephew of Mrs. h.
H. Sigourney, the poet, and was born near St.
Albans, in Vermont. Early In life he married
Miss Amelia Josephine rill more, a Bister of Mr.
William Fillmore, of New York, who was after
wards associated with him in the publication of
a hebdomadal culled the Golden Age. Miss Fill
more is said, by tnose who knew her, to nave
been a beautiful woman.
The marriage, however, was by no means a
happy one, and two years after it took place,
and while the pair were in Europe, rumor said
that she was unfaithful to her husband. Reports
of this sort made their way te the friends aud
family of Mrs. 8igourncy,and when the couple
returned to this country, in 1852, they received
a chilling welcome. Apparently the wife was
bad by nature, for almost immediately upon her
appearance in this city she entered upon a life
of shame, and it was net long before she was
lodged in Blackwell's Island as a vagrant
the passion for strong drink had ruined her.
Through the kind olllces of Mr. Henry J.
Raymond, Major Sigourney succeeded In obtain
ing the release of his wife, but all endeavors to
reform her proved unavailing, and it was not
long before she returned to her evil ways. In
the autumn of 1853 she left her husband, and he
heard no more of her till be learned through
the papers that she had been found dead in
White street, frozen and buried under the snow,
which had fallen upon her.
ibe papers had spoken ol her simply as a
young and beautiful woman, bnt some circum
stances connected witn the case led Sigourney
to think that the dead woman was his wife, and
further examination showed that it was she.
He had her buried in (Jreenwood Cemetery,
Mr. Kayroond again betriending him and defray
ing the funeral expenses. It was in memory of
this woman and her sad death that Sigourney
wrote (as he claimed) the poem called "The
ijeantuui snow," and published It In the if olden
Aqe of the first week of January, 1854.
After the death of his first wife he again mar
ried, and appears always to have been in desti
tute circumstances, occasioned either by his
own neglect of opportunities or a constitutional
inability to keep money after he had made it.
His life was a roving one; now he was busy at
one thing, and now at another. His health was
not good, and some time ago a pulmonary affec
tion lorcca mm to reunquisn ms place as editor
of the St. Albans Messenger. At various times
he contributed articles to the New York papers,
but, as may readily be conceived, did not make
sufficient money in this way to support his
family, or, at least, to provide for its support
after his death, and his suicide has left them
poor.
or some time uciore nis aeain ne naa con
tributed stories and poems to Packard't
Monthly, the Dispatch, and other publications,
and the urgency with which he asked that the
money for them should be Bent to him "as soon
as possible" shows that he was sadly in need of
it; Indeed, be said that he was starving. One of
his letters reminds one of Poe's to N. P. Willis,
begging for five dollars to keep him alive. It
reads, "For God's Bake send me somo money,
no matter how little, as quickly as yon can.
My child cried for bread this morning, and I
bad none to give." This was written bnt a short
time ago, and from it the reason of the self-
murder may easily ne conjectured.

advanced only 1)1,104, which Is substantially
the same kind of improvement noticed last

pared with the rapid increase of resources is en
tirely due to the extremely dull condition' of

OtnMntMel from th Third Edition,
These figures, he thought, Indicated good cause
for alarm to the philosophic American statesman.
It this state of Ignorance contlnned, It would be a
1 1 uitrnl sonrce or danger to our institutions, ir the
masses or Southern whites bas'been educated as well
as the people ef the North, the Rebellion wonld
bave been an Impossibility. He then reviewed the
possible objections to the 'policy indicated by the
resolution, If it waa alleged that the public debt
wonld be increased by setting apart the proceed of
tbe public domain for the education f the people.
His answer was that the greatest bnrden the coun
try carried to-day was the Ignorance of a large por
tion or its people. That Intelligent Industry was the
most remnneratlve capital of the nation. Upon the
question ol expediency he thought the proposed dis
position or the public lands was preferable to voting
tticm away to railroads. He thought this process of
universal education should accompany the progress
of railways and geperal development in the west; to
enlighten the minds of people was to secure the per
petuity of our constitutional form of government.
The resolution was adopted.
