From official returns of the Treasury Depart*
meat, it appears that the steamboat tonnage of the
western rivers lor the year 1612 was is fellows:
New Orleans. ...50,993 I Pittsburgh..• •• • 10,107
Sl L0ui5....... 14,7221 Louisville 4,618
Cincinnati.... 12,025] Nashville.. S^flO
; Total
and,6oto the same authority, the tonnage
fbr_lS4G amounted to 249,054.
This isgivea u the entire steam tonnage of the
westers riven, kb well that employed oa the local
or way commerce, as that employed between (he
different ports and New Oilcan*
There are no official returns of oth?r kinds of
tonnage,-.but the Cincinnati memorial jrapposes
there are 4,000 boats of other kinds (not steamboats)
employed on these riven, which carry on an aver
age 75 tons each, making 300,000 tons. '-This
amount added to tbe steamboat tonnage, will give
lor the year 1842, for tbe total tonnage of all kinds
employed on the virftra rivers, an aggregate of
426^278,'t0n5.
• The flat-boat navigation of these waters is alto*
gelber a' downstream navigation, the boats at tbe
end of- a voyage being generally broken up and
sold. - They are yet, however, used to a great ex
tent, as they consume much of the spare timber of
the country and furnish a cheap freight It would
noyl Ihmk, be unreasonable to suppose that two
series of these boats ore used in a year; and from
various circumstances connected with them, there
can be ho doubt that they generally carry a lull
freight According to this last supposition, the
amount of produce of oil kinds earned to market
by these boats in one year is 000,000 tons. — r
Tbe steamboat navigation is of a different char
acter. It is repeated as oAen as the condition of
the boat, the season of tho-year, and the state of
the waters will admit Taking into couidcration
these circumstances, and making allowance for the
reflection that these boats are not always loaded to
their full capacity; we will suppose that the steam
boat tonnage is repealed ten times a year, or that
there are ten trips bf.lho steam, tonnage from its
landing places to New Orleans.' This supposition
will give for the stenmbont freigbt of a year 1,262*
7Sotons,or a total of merchandise (exclusive of
the way trade) transported on tbe western rivers,
for the year 1812, of l,S62,7SQtona. ,
The next Question is to determine the probable
moneyed value of this commerce. For this we
have no direct data, but have to resort to inference
and comparison. It is well known that a great por
tion of the produce of tbe west is of a much great
er Taloe per ton than that of the lakes. But if to
obtain its value, it be assumed as of no greater
value pec ton than tbe commerce of the lakes, We
shnflclearty show, we think, the absence of all e
forts to exaggerate.
The total tonnage transported on the lakes has
been tho4*n to.be 3,501,05 S tons; but this is a du
plicate quantity. It exhibits tbe total amount of
exports and imports nt all places; and is, therefore,
in all probability an .exhibit of pantile of the real
amount of tons of merchandise Assuming this
Supposition as correct, the net .amount of tons of
lake goods transported is 1,930,514: and as it has
been .shown that the net value of these goods is
$01,914,910, we hare for the net value per ton
833-07.
It.bas also been shown that tbe net tons-of mer
chandise of tbe western rivers, with New
exclusive of way trade, was for 1512, 1,862,750
tons. Now, if we apply to this amount the-value
of lake commerce, per ton, as just given, .we shall
have for the direct commerce of the western rivers
with New Orieaps, an r amoum of $39,739,351; •
New Orleans being the point at which this com
merce is concentrated, the returns <*f that place
wonldmerely.duplicate the commerpe, th'ey hive,
therefore, not been used. But these returns wctild,
also, from the same reason; be highly corroborative
evidence of the amount
Referring to the official returns of the amount of
exports and import# of New (Means for the year
l&t2,we find .them to be $50,560,903, a sufficiently
adequate coincidence with' the river trade, os jest
given, to sustain tbe probable-accuracy of the sup
poeilions which have been adopted in reference to
I hat trade, and to justify the amount of e sports on d
imports of New Orleans in being taken as ansex
hfoit of tbe commerce of the western rfvemrith
tbatdty,
For 1812, then, this commerce
can be stated at $50,566,903 -
la 1616, a statement from the
Treasury .Department
makes it
Showing an increase iu four
yearsof \ji $11,639,610
or, on average annua! increase of 51 per cent
We hare, as yet, spoken only of the direct river
commerce, and not'of the indirector way’com
merce, of that immense amount of commodities
which is interchanged between city and city, town
and town, place and place, on the western rivers,
and which forms no part of the New Orleans com
merce, but which may be appropriately derigflaled
as the coasting commerce of the Western
rivers. •
- Atfaixs ts rax Lvdia* Country.— The St Louis
Republican contains tbp following details of the
proceedings in the Indian Territory. "j
An express has arrived at Fort Leavenworth
fro in Santa Fe, by way of Fort Mann, bringing us
letter* to the ICthult. From these letter* we learn
that news bad been received from'Col Gilpin’s
camp, at Fort Brent, of rather an exciting charac
ter. An express arrived on the morning of the.
l&th, with orders for company E, and one.)section'
of the artillery company, to be fitted out With the
least possible delay, and to take up the line of march
for his camp, as most argent conic* required this
movement. Intelligence was received,at the same
time,' that a combined force*, of Camanches and
Mexicans were gathering, alxjot two hundred and
fifty miles smith of his station, preparing to attack
bun. For this attack, Col Gilpin was desirous of
beingin readiness, and, indeed, to be the aggressor
himself--and that, too, by the 12tb orlfith of Feb
ruary. Thu news produced great excitement in
the garrison at Fori Mann,l and an express was
immediately despatched to overtake Lieut. Tuttle,
and tea or fifteen men, wlio had left three days
previously for Fort Leavenworth, with a view to
secure their return. In this they were not success
ful, as Lieot Tuttle hid reached the Fort
One of our letters says: ‘The greatest difficulty
now attending the execution of this order from ou r
colonel is, the wont of teams 'lo
and artillenr, as oil of our horses—some seventy
five in number—have diedj except about a doz
en, and they are barely able to staad upon their feet
Of one hundred and forty-four mules which fwe
brought here with usioot niore than six or eight
bead can be produced. As the cattle, lam -act
ually ashamed to say, that of eight hundred that
came oat with our two trains, only seyentydive or
one hundred head remain, and the wolves are doily
devouring them. What arrangements will be
made, I am hardly able to aay at this time; but it
will be a very difficult matter for. us to leave under
these circumstance." i
Another letter, dated “Upper Arkansas, Smiles
above Brent's Feet, January 7," says that a “detach
ment to which the writer belonged left Fort Mann
on the 14th December, for • the purpose of es
corting the sutler's train to the camp of the
cavalry, under the command of Colonel Gilpin;
that OQ the nigth of the t£ki'6f December, the offi
cer in command (Lieut. O'Hara) ordered his men
to encamp, which order tbeyrefused'to obey. and
to a man deserted him.. The officer remained on
the grosnd, but proceeded next day to headquart-
where he reported tbo tacts to Colonel Gilpin.
The Colonel immediately ordered a court martial
for the trial of the olfrmdert; but at the time of wri
ting the court had made no decision In the case.
“The cavalry detachment is at present in rather
a'bad condition—-there no provi-ioo* in the
country, excepting some beef and com. A ration
of com is one piot per day. In' the course of n
month, the Colonel intends moving the command
into the*heart of tho Camancho country; but, un
less some arrangement to get provisions is made,
it will be impossible to movo . from the river. Mr.
Bent has sent an express to Tans to obtain provi,
sions; but it is understood that he foiled to obtain
them.' If so, there is a prospect’of our having
rough limes. There is not a horse io the battalion
fit fir service. • Persons here are asking $lOO (hr
their males. We am waiting patiently fir orders
flora the government. The Ipwlb of the brfttaliou
is good. We have had but two deaths since our
departure from the Stales. Captain Pelger, with a
portion of the artillery, and Capt Hpltscbcilzer,
with a portion of the infantry, are to garrison Fort
Mann." - i ' /
' Gen. Tavlor’s Letter to Gen/Galne*. —ln the
letter of Gem Taylor to Gen. Gaines, published a
year, ago, and which gave so offence to the
’resident and his friends, there were certain pas
sages, omitted then, which have recently been sup
plied by the editor of the -New York u l)aj Book,"
who, with Gen. Gaines' permission, but without
Gen. Taylor's, knowledge, gave that letter to the
public. The first of these suppressed passages,
after alluding to the Court of inquiry ordered by
the President in the' case of Gen. Gaines, on the
charge ;©f calling ont troops without authoriry,
reads that:
“I have with solicitude and interest, wnlclied
, over the result of the investigation; and although it
was not, as regards the opinion of the Coon of in
quiry, what I would have wished it, yet it waS as
much as f could.have expected, considering the
hostile. feeling ettortained towards yoa'by some of
the high functionaries at Washington,! was fearful

..United States Navy, with threeofllcers and2s men,
was reported by Com. Shubrick at San Jose, near
■ Cape St. Lucas, early in November, to hold that
port—some probability of a revolution appearing in
the country. Lieut. Col Burton, holding La Paz,

fight to get possession of Moxatlnn. On llie 13th
November, Lt. Haywood felt convinced he would
'soon be inverted by jo.force of some 200 men; but
did not anticipate that they liad any artillery. Lt.
Bartlett touched at San Jose id the Carolina on the
15th found him making strong position
to defend his quarters if attacked; 30 Californians
had joined him os volunteers, {and drilled daily.—
On the 16th, the enemy seeing the coasts clear of
shins, marched from the mountains iu the interior,
and at once attacked, with 2 sixponoders aud 150
to 200 men. They were very determined and
made strong charges up to Haywood’s works but
afl resisted nobly. Mexican chief was
killed, and 20 to 3U{ of his men. They returned
after making three ; several attacks. Lieut. Hay
