Had the route been properly divided into small lots, and these only given to such as were really qualified to execute the work, no doubt can exist that a considerable saving would have been obtained. The letting it out into large sections had the disadvantage of making it an object of speculation, and of alarming many who would otherwise have offered themselves as contractors. ernment. Accordingly, it was determined in the spring of Narrative of an Expedition to the Source The command of the expedition was intrusted to The route of the expedition will be as follows: The object of the expedition is to make a general survey of the country on the route pointed out, same, to ascertain the latitude and longitude of all together with a topographical description of the the remarkable points, to examine and describe its productions, animal, vegetable, and mineral; and to inquire into the character, customs, &c. of the Indian tribes inhabiting the same.' From Philadelphia to Fort Wayne, the Expedition passed through a country, almost the whole of which is well known; and although all of Mr. Keating's work is interesting, our limifs will not permit us to stop long with him at his different stages. We would remark, in passing, that his observations upon the great Cumberland road tend to illustrate the nature of our public econ At Fort Wayne the Expedition arrived on the 20th of May, and remained at this post three days. This village is maintained by the fur trade, and will probably flourish, or rather continue to exist, as long as Indians remain in the vicinity. It is one of many similar trading, establishments in our northern and northwestern territory, and, judging from Mr Keating's account, may be fairly taken as a sample. To a person visiting the Indian country for the first time, this place offered many characteristic and singular features. The town or village is small; it has grown under the shelter of the fort, and conlation. The inhabitants are chiefly of Canada oritains a mixed and apparently very worthless popugin, all more or less imbued with Indian blood. Not being previously aware of the diversity in the character of the inhabitants, the sudden change from an American to a French population, has a surprising, and, to say the least, an unpleasant effect; for the first twenty-four hours, the traveller fancies himself in a real Babel. The confusion of languages, owing to the diversity of Indian tribes which generally collect near a fort, is not removed by an intercourse with their half-savage interpreters. The business of a town of this kind differs so materially from that carried on in our cities, that it is almost impossible to fancy ourselves still within the same territorial limits; but the disgust which devise no better way of learning something more about this immense river, than to sit still, until some Leather-stocking or other comes home from his beaver-hunt, and condescends to enlighten their ignorance. The fact that the few expeditions which our government has sent into the interior, have been eminently successful and useful, inwe entertain at the degraded condition in which the stead of making our rulers think, that omy. white man, the descendant of the European, appears, enough is done, should, and, if they had Art has done little to add to the charms of the is perhaps the strongest sensation which we expelearned that true economy is the same natural scenery, except in the construction of a rience; it absorbs all others.

At each unusual mo The principal tribe of Indians in this region is that of the Pottawotamies, of whom our author gives rather a minute account. Perhaps no part of it is so interesting as that which relates to their notions and practices with respect to education. They appear to be very attentive to the proper education to be given to children, in order to impart to them those qualities both of the mind and body; which shall enable them to endure fatigue and privation, and to obtain an influence, either in the counsels of the nation, or during their military operations. When questioned on this subject, Metea replied, that while he was yet very young, his father began to instruct him, and incessantly, day after day, and night after night, taught him the traditions, the laws, and ceremonies of his nation. This he did,' said Metea, that I might one day benefit my country with my counsel.' The education of boys generally commences at ten or twelve years of age; they accustom them early to the endurance of cold, by making them bathe every morning in winter. They likewise encourage them to habituate themselves to the privation of food. In this manner, children are observed to acquire, more readily, the qualifications which it is desirable for an Indian to possess. Parents use no compulsory means to reduce their children to obedience, but they generally succeed in obtaining a powerful influence over them, by acting upon their fears; they tell them that if they do not behave themselves as they are bid, that they will irritate the Great Spirit, who will deprive them of all luck as hunters, and as warriors. This, together with the constant and never ceasing importance, which the children observe, that their parents attribute to luck in all their pursuits, is found to have the desired effect upon the minds of young persons, fired with the ambition of becoming distinguished, at some future day, by their skill and success. Their fasts are marked by the ceremony of smearing their faces, hands, &c. with charcoal. To effect this, they take a piece of wood of the length of the finger, and suspend it to their necks, they char one end of it, and rub themselves with the coal every morning, keeping it on until after sunset. No person, whose face is blackened, dares eat or drink any thing during that time; whatever may be the cravings of his appetite, he must restrict them until the evening arrives, when he may wash off his black paint, and indulge, moderately, in the use of food. The next morning he repeats the ceremony of blackening his face, and continues it from day to day, until the whole of his piece of wood be consumed, which generally takes place in the course of from ten to twelve days. name was Winona, which signifies "the first born." fact, that it was impossible for a garrison (deep gloom over its brightest features.
