We have been permitted to publish the following letter from the West.— It contains a description of ,a journey to the gold region, which will be of in terest, especially to any who intend leaving for that section, showing the roubles and perils of an overland trip, and also the cost and labor of living in the gold country: YELLOW STONE CITY, ..Montana Territory, January 25, 1865. 'Din. Violas JOHNS :—Respected friend and brother:—As I promised you before I left my home, and also my friends, at North Point, that I 'would write yon the history of this country' as far as my experience has ,proved it, I send this to you for pub lication. 'We left Omaha, Nebraska Territory, the 21st of May, 1864. We soon came into the country of the Indians, which people are 'generally friendly to the :whites; these Indians are the remnant of the once powerful Pawnee nation. We soon strike the north fork of the Platte river, which at this point is about three miles wide and very shal low; the valley, from bluff to bluff, is about forty miles wide ; a beautiful country, but in general rather cold for agricultural pursuits. We soon arrive at Port Kearney, on the south tide of the river; this is a military post of much importance, held by II S troops; distance from Omaha, miles. , 'Vre then preeeeded along this Val- ley and OOP found ourselves in the *country of the Sioux Indians; the general character of this people are black; dirty, cruel cutthroats, and it was" they that caused so much trouble on the plains last season—many tiler whites having their property stolen, and_ losing their lives; still, many of them claim protection from our gov ernment, and receive, annually, annu ities from it. This people never harm ed tie any en our trip, yet we never felt very safe. At length we arrived 'opposite' Fort Laramie, another post bold by U S troops, and quite a thriv ing. place. Several !white men come here at all seasons of the year to trade with the various tribes of Indians; dis tance from Fort Kearney, 325 miles, from Ofieha, 522 miles. Hero we soon strike the Black Hills, and travel through a rugged, mountainous coun try for 140 miles; then we strike the river again, which is narrow at this place, and a bridge has been construc ted over it by an old French ranchiero, or farmer, named Rishaw. Distance from Omaha, 662 miles. 1 should re mark that bituminous coal and irc,h. stone lies in great abundanco in these bills. Last year, Bozeman and Jacobs opened a new emigrant route from this point to the Yellow Stone coun try, and'also to Virginia City . , which is much shorter than the Lander's cut off, or Salt Lake route. We halted here a ..few days until more trains ar rived, and then bold a meeting to de- . . . : r, ;: .. .' • - :. . . . - .. -„, . • : -; r:: i; ' 1 '.'..:,,,, , , ;_;,. - •,:.t.:- . .: •• '.;•,,..:- '-‘: . 4. • '' . z....

VOL XX. tide which route we would travel.— Finally, we decided to take the Boze man route,'and elected officers to take charge of the train, which then consis• ted of 68 wagons, 182 men, several fe males and their children. According ly, we moved out in line, in military style, through a barren, sandy coun try; this spot is not owned by either tribe, but is neutral ground, where va rions tribes meet at certain seasons, and often fight among themselves, leaving heaps of .their bones to strew the ravines . and hillsides; their skulls We:ofttimes picked up for examination. None of the Indians hereabouts show ed themselves unto us, which was ev idence that we Were not welcome visi tors on their soil. After traveling 100 miles through this inhospitable coun try we Amok the Powder river, a small but perfect stream of mud, ow ing I suppose to late rains in the mountains. Near this place is a large lake; on a near approach to its banks the traveler is almost overcome by the sulphurous stench which arises from its waters, whilst the hills on each side are one continued heap of burned lava. The next day one of our party, who Lad been on a ;hunting excursion, found the scalp of a white man who had been, murdered by Indians; this put us on the alert. Bear in mind that Captain Townsend's train had preceded, us a few days on the same road, and were attacked by a war par ty of Cheyenne Indians, when five white men were killed, and twelve In dians killed and 18 wounded, after fighting about five hours. We never saw any of them. We found where the whites had been buried by their comrades, but were afterwards dug up by the wolves- and devoured. We collected their bones and reinterrod them, after which we crossed the Tongue river. Game is very abund ant throughout this region, and coal and iron are inexhaustible in these mountains. Here the buffalo became very plenty, and our men shot very many of them. We soon came to the Little Horn river, where the country adjoining is very fertile; grass, wood and water in great abundance. On our left are the.-Great Wind River mountains, whose peeks are eternally covered with snow. We next came to the Big Horn river, where, for the first time, we found gold, in the sands of the river. A company of men went up into the mountains to prospect for gold, but after traveling about forty miles were forced to return, the deep and awful kanyons preventing their further advance. The train then crossed this river with safety, except ing the loss of one horse, Whieh was drowned. We then moved forward, and for the first time received a visit from the Crow Indians, who seemed friendly, but great beggars. We next came to Nez Perces Fork, a small and muddy stream, with plenty of fish and beaver in it. Here, while we lay en camped for the night, a wild beast came out of a thicket, marched boldly into our corral, seized a dog and car ried it away. We moved forward and struck the Yellow Stone river, which is quite a fine stream, with plenty of the finest trout in - it, and any ordinary fisherman with his hook and line can catch one hundred pounds per day of them. We now travel up the south side of this river to Clark's Ford, men tioned in Lewis and Clark's expedi tion in 1845-6; this is a small stream having its source in tho Yellow Stone mountains. We then Came to a stream of hot water, to which the animals and men made a rush to quench their thirst, but looked at each other 'with great disappointment when they found it too hot for their lips. Here an In dian chief and squaw, and several oth ers, came to visit us; he showed us some letters written by white men, re commending him as a white man's friend. Then we soon arrived at the mouth of a largo kanyon in the moun tains. Here our party became detached; Travis and I hearing good and encou raging news from Virginia city, we re solved to go there, while David Short hill, Weaver and Norris went up the Yellow Stone river about twenty-eight miles. In a few days we reached the city, where we found hundreds of men out of employment; the influx of emi grants being so great that it was' im possible for them all to got any labor periorm i consequently they became excited and panic stricken, and many of them commenced their journey homeward. Those who had money formed themselves into large trains and started over the plains; others, who had spent all, built boats and ca noes and started down the Yellow Stone. In a few days after they left, many of the latter party returned— their boats having been dashed to pie ces on the rocks, and their last provis HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1865, ions lost in the river; others went far ther down the river only to meet greater danger and trouble.- Few of the poor fellows will ever reach the States in safety, for the lurking Indians will harass them at every point along the upper Missouri. Virginia city is a thriving place, and immense quantities of gold have boon taken out of the Alder gulch already: Campbell estimates its production at half ton per week, while there are sini eral gulches in the vicinity which also . pay well, viz a Harris; Beavans, Wash ington,Norweglan, and several others: The wages per day for laborers is five dollars, drifters, from seven to ten dollars : boarding in common houses, 14 dollars per week. Flour from the States is sold at about 828 or 830 per hundred weight, Salt Lake flour, from $25 to $27 per hundred weight; beef abontl4 cents perpound; butter, about $1,50 per pound. Every inch of land that has been found to contain gold has long ago been taken up, so the stranger when he arrives must neces sarily work for daily wages. While I was at Virginia city I was informed that Mr. Shorthill had made a great discovery. (I should state in this place that the distance from the Platte Bridge to Virginia city is about 500 miles.) Travis and I started back towards the Yellow Stone, and arriving at. Gallatin Valley we concluded to go into the mountains to prospect for gold. In all the streams leading into this valley we found fine gold, but whether it will justify working it we are not able to say, for the weather is very severe. This is a beautiful valley in the warm season, but in winter is very cold; still, the cattle roam through it unprotected all winter, and are gener ally fat. Nearly alt of the valley has been taken up by Ranclunen, and promise great crops of wheat, potatoes, turnips, and - Amiens,- all of which grow luxuriantly. The only Indians who inhabit this valley at present, and claim it as their hunting grounds, are the Nez Perces, the Banoek Indians; and Flat Heads pass through occasionally. Those tribes. are deadly enemies to each other.. The Nez Perces are the 'finest, cleanliest, and most intelligent Indians that we have seen ; they claim their home as being in Oregon, where they cultivate their lands - ; they have a Jesuit mission among them, and the most of them speak English well. About four weeks ago, I loft the valley and arrived safe to my former friends, whom Ifound snug and all well in Yellow Stone city. This- place has sprung up as if by magic) since last September. There aro about 80 good log houses, put up since that time, -with a population of about 300 per sons. This town, or city as it is call ed, is situated at the entrance to a large kanyon, which is about 15 miles long. Here is where .51. r. Shorthill and party came - last September. • Penetrating this rugged place, whore the waters dash from crag to crag, and pine and cedar form a complete jungle—the haunts of the bear, cougar, and pan ther—nearly eight miles, they found the object of their search. They dis covered that the gold lay in the bed of a small stream among the sands, and in the crevices of the rock wherever visible in the bottom of the stream, while the mountain sides aro covered with burned rock and lava. The gold of this gulch is coarse; some pieces taken out weigh about $B, yet that is not a common occurrence. As soon as they wore satisfied that the discovery was rich, they came down and reported it to their friends, among whom it caused a great stir; they were all on the point of leaving, but the good news reversed their ac tion, and they all followed Shorthill into the mountains, when they were soon convinced that gold was there.— They staked their claims, elected Shorthill Claim Recorder, and then wont to work in earnest, some with more energy than others. Shorthill and Weaver took out in 23 days $6OO in gold. The cold weather forced them down out of the kanyon on the 24th day of October—.-the altitude of which at their claims is about four thousand feet ahclve the Yellow Stone river. So they built houses of logs, which are warm and comfortable. The width of the valley at this point is about ten miles. Game is abundant, and consists of the cinnamon bear, black bear, cougar, or mountain lion, panthers, Various species of wolves, elk, mountain sheep, black and the white tailed deer, occasionally a buffa lo, White ducks and geese are plenty, also - fish, The Indiana of this valley are the liannockS and Flat Heads.— Two weeks ago, two families of Ban noeks, who were eneamed near here, and used to come into our town daily, were saved from slaughter by the in terference of the whites. A party of Flat Heads, eight in number, came -PERSEVERE.- into town and inquired for 13annocks, Niko they said had stolen some of their ponies, and they; the Flat Heads, had come to scalp them all. A white man immediately started out to warn the Bannocks, who becoming alarmed, came into town. All day and night they watched each other for the pur pose of murdering each other, which they dare not do while in town. The Flat. Heads finally left, but the others are still in town amongst tie; they will not go out to hunt for-fear the others will come upon them. Our town is very much mixed, we have French, English, Americans, Ger mans, Irish and Indians. I am the only one from Wales that is in the town. We spent three days up the gulch last week, but wo found it im possible tollive up there at present,snow in places being ten feet deep, so we re turned into the city, where we have to lay * up till - a warmer season. Every house has plenty of .meat for the win ter. People aro heginuing to come in from Virginia to secure claims for the Summer season.. We. expect to take out our shares of gold. the coming sea son; then probably return to the States. Although the prospects before us are encouraging, yet we Would not advise any who has comfortable homes in the States to come out here, for I assure them it is. a great risk. First, the In dians on the plains; secondly, change of climate, and bad alkali waters; thirdly, the very long cold. winter sea son in those northern latitudes, and fourthly, there are not one-fourth of the mon that come out here that make money the first year after they ar rive into the mountains. We have no Post Office here, consequently we. hire a man from the place to carry our mail to Bozeman city—distant 40 miles, then another man takes it through from there to Virginia city; cost or each loiter cents in gold dust. Each man carries a small buckskin bag which contains his gold dust, and at every business phice they use gold scales, with which they weigh the gold ; thus they trade here. The Vigilance Committee, which was in force at Virginia city, has now dis bandOd; all of the people quietly sub mitting to civil law under our now Territorial Government. We do not expect to work until April or May. RICEIARD OWENS Roll of Company Al, 19th P. V. Cavalry. NEW ORLEANS, March 10., 1865 . MESSRS.

(From the Baltimore American, ot' March M.l) Whilst on a visit to Washington, yesterday, we dropped in at the White House, and instead of being surprised at the number of visitors, wore rather astonished to find so few in waiting in the ante-room for interviews with the: President. When we remember the throngs that swarmed the building in Democratic times, during the first• month after an inauguration, and counting about twenty-five persons now in attendance, many of them ac .companied by members of Congress, we came to the conclusion that the Washington correspondents have greatly exaggerated the facts: Most of these visitors, as we subsequently had an opportunity of witnessing, were there for entirely different purposes than that of office seeking. The President commenced to re— ceive visitors at 10 o'clock, but at half past 11 o'clock the Cabinet session commenced, and continued until near ly 2 o'clock. So soon as the Cabiniet members bad withdrawn, the recep tion of visi',ors was resumed, •those having me - nbers of Congress with them taking precedence. At 2 o'clock, however, the doors were thrown open, and all that remained in the ante-room were invited to enter and take seats. The President then com menced to dispose of them in his frank, cordial and candid manner, the pres ence of "a cloud of witnesses" enabling him to get through with them much more rapidly than if each had been granted a private interview. The first case was that of .an old gentleman whose sons had been killed in battle; and ho had come to Wash ington in hope of being able to obtain some kind of employment. The Pres. ident rpliod that Washington was the worst place in the country for any one to seek to better their-condi tion. and suloiroA---hio. ••to • s o home again by the first train. Ho wished some species of. _saffron tea could be administered to produce an': . Critptien of those already in Washington'and make this migration fever strike out instead of striking in: The supplicant replied that he had not the means to go, and hoped that. the President would give him a note to ono •of the quartermasters, who might probably give him some kind of employment. After thinking a minute, 'he wrote something on a piece of paper and gave it to him, when the old man's countenance brightened and with pro fuse thanks ho retired. A... gentleman largely engaged in bringing out cotton, &c.; from the reb el States, inquired of the. President whether it was his intention to sus tain tho recent order issued •by Gen. Grant putting a stop to the whole bus iness.' The President replied that no case would ho interfere with the wish es of General Grant. Ile held him re sponsible ,for inflicting the hardest blonis possible on the enemy, and as desirabld as it was to Posses the cotton, if he thought that bacon was of more importance to the enemy at this mo ment than cotton was to us, why we must do without cotton. Gen. Grant was no lawyer, and consequently - used no unnecessary words to amplify his order; but the President understood him to mean that this trade was giv ing aid and comfort tithe enemy, and consequently it must stop. "Under no circumstances," concluded the Presi dent, "will I interfere with the orders of General Grant. • The next was an applicant for a small, counrry post office, accompan ied by a Democratic member •of Oen : . grass. On reading his application he responded at once,"Yon shall. have it," and endorsed his approval on the back. The member remarked,"l pre sume, Mr. President, that it is be cause I trouble you so little that you so promptly grant my request. The- President responded, "That reminds l l me of my own experience as an. old l i Whig member of Congress.. I w.as. al- I ways in the opposition, and I had no troubles of this kind at all. It was the easiest thing imaginable to be an opposition member—no running to the . Departments end the White house"• Next came an old.. gentleman who wished to get a man pardoned from the Penitentiary, convicted of stealing two pairs of pantaloons and a . pair of shoes belonging to the Government, from a box he was hauling on his dray. A statement • of 'the case from the States Atter - nay waspresentecl, Which admitted Oaten° witness had testified. Olathe had : sold him a pair of shoal.

The President', in view of his recent problamation to dn.- sorters who. had not been arrested, promptly pardoned him. A young widow, the motWor of three children, 'Whose 'husband had been killed in battle, presented an ap plication for the appointment of:post mistress of a 'small 'town iia. Orange county, 'New :York: The - President received her very kindly; told her to leave all her paperti with hiin;'and that he would examine the matter thoroughly, and would do the beet he could for her case. She was advised to return home and treat her ease im his hands, as be would attend.to it as well in her absence as- if she were present. He "could not act on it at. once; for, although, be was President, she must remember that he Was' but one horse in the team, and if the cab:- ers pulled in a different direction it would be a hard matter fbr him to out-pull them." The lady left much pleased with her interview. .` A-wounded officer was an applicant for an office, and presented, a'rnemorf al signed by a largo number of. citi zens of his district. The.
