MARYsivacE, OREGON TERRITORY..'
Dtcertibef 0, 1851.;
D. A. Rormnrsort, Ese.;—.• . -. .
DEAR Sin :—Our little party arrived ,at
Portland in this territory, the 18th of Nov..
having been six months and sixteeen days
upon the route. I am aware that the peop
le of Minnesota, generally, think that, li
good and feasible route from Red river to
Oregon is in existence; and that if it was
generally known in. the States,- . a portion
ofthe great travel across the Missouri
plains might be diverted rrom that channel
and made to pass the northward and across
the 'Rosky Mountains, at a pass in about
49 degrees north latitude.- Our party left
St. Paul, - on the 28th day of April. We
passed up through Gull, Leach, Cass, and
Red lakes, down Red lake and Red river,
to the Selkirk settlement, in thirty six days
having made fourteen portages, in all a'
distance of twenty-four miles. The Sel
kirk settlement extends along both sides of,
Rod river; about twenty-five - miles, ,and
up the Assinneboino, some twelve miles.
The population consists of Scotch, Canadi
ens, .and Half-breeds, 'numbering about
twelve hundred.- There are several Pro
testant and Catholic churches. The Hud
son Bay Company have two well built
stone forts, about the size of Fort Snelling.
This company imports and retails nearly
all of the goods and merchandise sold in
the settlement. The.Canadians . and Half
breeds depend in a groat measure bpon the
buffalo hunts for provisions; while the
Scotch settlers farm considerable,' raising
very good crop of spring wheat, oats,
pens, ,potatoes, and garden vegetables.—
There is a great scarcity of timber about
the settlement. The houses are mostly
of hewed logs, and plastered with a kind
of white clay, which give them the appear
ance of being white=washed. We were de
tained some time in purchasing our horses
and carts, and in waiting for Mr.—,
who had the inissfortnne to jump out of a
canoe and lose his money. -But as that
gentleman had unifcirmly borrrwed of the
rest of the company whenever he could,
pretendin g he had large drafts on the 11.
II Co., which we found to .be entirely
false, and also the •stories he told about
having crossed the plains from this point,
we did not pity him much. However, he
was fournished with a horse to proceed
with the party. Wo found a cart trail to
Fort Ellis, a trading post of the H.B. Co.,
on the Assinneboine river, distance from
Red river about 200 miles.. no country
was full of little lakes and groves of small
poplar timber. Here we were joined by
a French gentleman with a small party,
Doing towards' tho' mountains on a hunting
~
excursion, thus far we had been detain
ed on account of Mtn and high wuter, so
that we did not start again- until the 17th
of July. In fourteen days we - arrived, at
Carlton House, another trading post 300
miles from Fort Elli.. This pest is on the
Sackatchawan river. The country . we
passed - over wasa rolling prairie, with
here and there a bunch of poplar or willow
bushes.. At this point, we were oblged- to
leave our. carts,- the country becoming
broken and hilly. Mr. Leo stopped at
this point, and was immediately sent back ,
towards Red river. John McCormick and
Michael Castello also stopped hero to wait
thef.oming‘sf the Hudson Bay Company
boats, which ascend the Saskatchewan to
near the Mountains, then cross .with pack
horses and deseend the Columbia to Fort
Vancouver,-the great- post, - west of the
mountains, of the Hudson .Bay Company:
. From Carlton we proceeded to Fort-Pitt,
then on to Edmonton, with . pack. horses'
and Indian guides. • The distance from
Carlton . to Pitt is 150 miles, generally pra
jrie, but hilly .and broken, too much so for
wagons-Or earth to-cross. • 'rho Hudson
Ba'y Company have no trail or path across
the plains -to the mountains. ' . .They do all
business in-boats; and all of tileir posts in
- this direction except Fort Ellis, being built
on the' banks of the Sirskatchawan. These
posts are hot in a straight direction ,-,' to
wards the mountains, but we were obliged
to go from one -post to another, onaccount
of our party being so small, and also, be
cause no guides can ho precured.who 'will
venture to cross the plains-in the ' nearest
direction, as it would lead into the terri-,
tore of the' Bltieltteet; and also across a
portion
,iifthe Sioux territory; bothof the
nations being'hOstilo•tethi3•wtitts, and at
war with the Creek nation; in whose ter
ritory we crossed most of the Way. 'At
Edmonton 'wo exchanged' our horses, and
oarparty, consisting of Meters, Bonstul,
Harris, ' - Pettigrew , and myself, started the

We found excellent food, plenty of water,
and sufficient wood, all of , the cast of the
mountains. But wo saw no buffalo—they
not 'having got as far morth as we were at

siderable antelope and elk. From what-I

A SAD STORY OF SUFFERING.
A case unparalleled in the annuls ofne,
glect and suffering, was communicated to
us verbally a few days since by a gentle
man neighborhood. It was so re
volting to every feeling of humanity, so
unlike the civilized and Christian people of
Virginia; that we were incredulous Until a
lady correspondent, whose humariity and
Christianity are knOwn wherever she is
known, confirmed it inn communication
now before us. We regret that we are
forbid to give the circumstances in the
touching and eloquent language it has
been given to us. We would gladly do
so, confident that it would be' infinitely bet
ter dono than we could do it. But we are
peremptorily denied this, and wo give the
narrative in our own version, embodying
all the material facts as they have been
furnished to
Some 14 or 15 years ago, a Mr. \Vat
son came from Alexandria, and settled in!
King George county, as a merchant. He
married a youilg lady of highly' respecta
ble family in that county, by which mar
riage ho had 'four children. Watson was
unfortunate. He became at the same time
a bankrupt and a widower. With his lit
tle children, two of whom were daughters,
ho lived on a small farm which he rented,
three miles belOw the line separating Staf
ford and King George. : During the cold
est of the weathei in thelatter part of De
cember last, his children were seized with
the whooping cough and every one of them
prostrated. Whilst thus, confined their
father Was taken with erysipelas,• and in
the same room lay the father and children
perfectly 'helpless.
Whilst thus confined some fiends broke
into his meat and fowl houses; and stole
every fowl and piece of meat on the farm.
In doing so they passed through the gar
den, levelling the fence and thereby per
mitting tho cattle and hog s to destroy 'all
the vegetables intended or *inter use.--
The only thing loft for the supped of the
family, was a small quantity Of meal and
some unrottsted coffo. In that condition
they lay a largo portion of the time with
out water, without fire and, food. •
A poor widoW in the neighborhood, sent
them a small piece of meat, and the oldest
boy not quite as ill us the rest; did as long
as his strength would enable him, crawl
to the fire place, stir up the dying embers,
half cook some bread, fry a piece of meat,
and without milk or sugar, attempt' to re
!lave the hungtir of, thedying father and
sisters. On ono occasion, weak and fee
ble as he was, he "staggered" throug,h the
snow to a neighbors house to procure fire.
At one time the father and children would
by crying for water and not a drop in , the
house and , no one to bring, it. Thus they
lay for severai'daya until God, in his.mer-
Or, took two of the Children. Two days
they lay corpses by: the side of the dick
parent, and, no one' to Prepare them for the
sepulehre , tind prepare them for the tomb.
A' raa'n aecidently passing by`called in,
foam' 'the family as we have described
the 'fathee 'blitid'and insensible, with his
two dead children—one frozen to' death—
lying by his Side,'and loft ha'huit condition;
Two 'days after thlethe,Tatherklied: , The
night preceding his 'death hd In4hemorr

side were his son 'and daughter, are

the occasion they sat by him the' whole
night alone, using every means their infant
minds could suggesty'in' 'staunching, the
blood.''A poor widevithe'dhy Of Watson's
(death heard of it, came 't i o his house, had
J bitri and his two dead children buried, took
the sick ones home with her, nursed them,
and has since restored them to health. -
Truth, we are told, is stranger than fic
tion. The,writer of romance, who would
sketch a scene like this, would be thought
Unworthy of the refined and christian age
in which we live. But, yet, this thing is ao.
If has happened at our ddor, in4he midst,
among a ,people who redd theßible, re
cm() its Heavenly teachings, and acknowl
edge the force of its sacred and chastening
influence. Our heart sickens at the thoght,
andin,view of its revolting inhumanity
our pen falters in recording the deed.
