Wo omlrkpd oti thp 5 th Sent ember,
in d'Hudaon Huv hattcau (Mackinaw
boat), with iit.v indiaii oanmien and
fin Irocjubls Btccrsman, and our two
ladies, who wt'ro the first American
vqnicn ta glide u no n tho bosom of
ho majestic Columbia. Ir. Pambran
generously accompanied us (taking
charge of tho boat), taking m daugh
ter (now Mr. Ibuckley of Oregon
City) with him, and committing ber
to tho caro of Mrs. Spalding for in
struction. The usna) time for the boats to make
a trip from Fort Walla "Walla to Van
couver was. five 'day's, but by reason
of head winds we were 1 J days. Our
present comfortable mode of traveling
our abundant Mipnly of wheat bread
and potatoes, butter and Walla Walla
elk (h orse-tlesh), tea and fresh salmon,
soon made us almost forget the lonr
month! of starvation and ceaseless toil
by day, and 'watching and pains bv
night, we had been passing through
the last' summer. t)ur health , and
spirits were good, the company of
Mr. Pambran (a Canadian , Catholic)
most agreeable, his attentions unceas
ing and his kindness unbounded. The
Canadians were more fond of dog-flesh
than salmon. 7
Wherever we landed our white wo
men were" a' great curiosity to tho na
tives, who. Hocked around us, old and
voting, to get a sight at them to take
their white hands in their greasy ones
to lay their fingers on their faces,
and to take. Mrs.' Whitman's auburn
hair in their hands. The condition of
the Columbia tribes appeared more
wretched th.n I have seen them since
those days. The children many ofj
the men and some of the women were
entirely naked. The latter would use
an infant for a iJg-lcaf rather than
forego the satisfaction of gazing upon
our women and handling their clothes.
They appeared to be jnferior to the
mountain tribes. Among the lower
Columbia Indians we met jho Flat, or
wedged-heads, produced in infancy by
lashing the new-born babe upon ftp
board or cradle with a compress bound
tight over its little forehead, and this
is made tighter and heavier e?cry
week till its little eyes are blood-shot
and seem ready to burst from the head.
This process -which for cruelty was
eiual to thjht lacing in voung Ameri
ica or the small net m China was
continued for 11 moons, when the
bones of the head were sufficiently set,
having a flat front in a straight line
with the nose, anil coming to a point
at the crown like a wedge. This im
portant distinction was not allowed to
be conferred noon the children of;
slaves of which there were many
among the lower Indians in those
days; and they denominated the
mountain tribes, who did not sulyeet
their infants to this cruelty, Hat
Heads," that is, natural heads.
Hence the name of the Flat-Head tribe.
It was distressing to hear the moans
of these little infants, and to witness
their sufferings from this cruel treat
ment. .
At the Schuttes (great fuljs of. the
Columbia), a half utile below the
mouth of the river Deschuttes, we
mahc a portage of a half mile with
pur boat and lading. The boat was
earned, bottom up upon pole, by 20

The .Columbia' river hero breaks over
a ledge of basalt rock, in a fall of 20
;pt (not 70, as Lewp atpl Clark say,)
111 low water but jjj high water only
a rapid, easy to be run with batttattx,
and produced by back.watcr from the
basin twp mi es below, occasioned by
another ledge of rocks stretching en-
-t t ,l 1 . f
iireiy across uje cuanncj 01 iijc river,
and affording no apparent outlet for
the pent-qp waters till the boat ap-
- '1 tin i ,
proacnes wiunn a nan mne, wnen a
perpendicular opening appears 70 feet
deep and only 300 feet wide, the head
qf the "Little Dalles " or channel, a
half mile 'long, with perpendicular
walls, through which the waters of
the gret Columbia are forced.
' ' Fjvc miles below the "Little Dalles"
tho ,VJ$ig Dalles or "long narrows,"
comnjence -another channel or chasm
m ujree miies in icngin, wun enarp
"turrs amid the perpendicular rocks.
Tiie narrowest place in this channel is
only lQ5 (pop according to Lewis and
Clark, but 174 feet, according to
Wilkes. The head walls of this chan
nel are not so high as those of the
,"Little Dalles " and the accumulated
floods during high water are thrown
put upon both sides over the "rocky
facc'fjf the earth ; and, justly madden
ccjl'y bc-'ng thus rudely dealt with, in
let foaming fury they have torn
great rocks from their solid founda
tions and have brought them and
dropped them in cavities, and have
kept them whirling and grinding du
ring high waters till great cauldrons
arp worn in the solid rocks, round and
smooth, fome 20 feet across r and as
many deep, containing these deposited
rpckg flf alj sizes? rounding anI srnPtih,
where they haye bceti whirling an,d
grinding since the days of Npah.-4
Suppose tliesfo great fettles, are en-
largea every season ny tiieso -wnirung

menccd ? ; 1 - y .v.-
The navigation of these. Dalles is
fearfully grand and terrific. In a dis
tance of two miles the river falls fifty
feet.: I have run them twice; the last
time in January, '48, with the venera?
ble Ogden and his three 1 boats con
taining the unfortunate captive wo:
men and children of the Waiilatpu
tragedy. The "undertaking is al ways
hazardous, requiring good oarsmen, an
expert steersman and bowsman, usu
ally Iroquois. As tho quivering bark
is whirled through thee subterranean
caverns upon the heaving bosom of
these waters, at one moment it seems
rushing against the perpendicular
walls square ahead; but, just as tho
bow is within 0 inches ol the rocks,
the recoiling waters hurl it back to
wards the opening to tho left ; and
again, as it is about to dash its bows
against these walls, it is seized again
by the recoiling waters and hurled to
wards tho opposite walls, or seized,
perhaps, by a whirlpool, formed sud
denly under the sfern, and held quiv
ering, stem down, for half a minute,
in spite of the desperate efforts of the
oarsmen and the bowsman, and the
yells of the steersman, who can do,
nothing. In some instances the bow
of the boat is carried clear round, and,
sad to tell, In some instances on an
average in those days of about once
a year this quivering boat would be
thus held by this yawning vortex in
spite of the death-st higgles of the
men, till tho 'monster beneath' would
seem to make another grasp, the boat
would yield, 'and, rising on its end, go
down with all on board. For a few
min tit r,s nothing would be seen, when
a closing' whirlpool would throw up
an oar, a fragment of the boat, or a
dead body, but only to be seized by
another and carried down to the un
fathomable depths below, till all are
ground to powder in the cauldrons at
the bottom.
In passing through these Dalles, in
1843, Jesse Applegate? of Umpqna,
lost one of hu boat with two of his
dear children and one man.
Our ladies remained in the boats
through the JJppc-r Dalles, but made
tho portage of the Lower Dalle, and
on their way they stopped a moment
to persuade a naked mother to unlash
the head bandages of her agonized in
fant, when they were attacked by
countless swarms of flies which seem
ed to be as frantic to get a meal of
white blood as in the days of Lewis
and Clark. They literally blackened
their clothes before they were aware,
and rendered their flights sleepless the
rest of the journey.
Fifty miles befow the Dalles we
came to-the Cascades or "Great Shoot"
of the Columbia, 150 yards wide and
400 yaids long, full of Islands and
rocks, where the Columbia leaps its
last chain of mountains, and is trie on
ly river that has forced its ceaseless
floods through the Cascade range for
a distance of nearly 2,000 miles.
At the Cascades we made a portage
of the goods, but the boat was slid
over the point of rocks on poles, there
not being Indians enough to carry it.
These rapids have been run by exper
ienced watermen, but at great risK.
As we neared the port of Vancou
ver two English vessels appeared.
beautifully rigged, their yard-arms
manned, and the Kmrlish flag and the
colors of the Company flviug from the
mast-head and from the rort m honor
of the arrival of the first American
ladies across the continent. Dr. John
McLaughlan,'a distinguished member
of the Catholic Church, and Governor
of the IT. II. Cos dominions) west of
the Kocky 3Iountams, received us at
the landing with great kindness, con
ducted us at once to his dwelling in
tho Fort, and furnished us with rooms,
where bv his devoted attentions and
unbounded hospitality we were made
to feel quite at home. We at once
presented the letters from our Govern
ment, which were most satisfactory to
the Governor and the officers of the
Company, and answered two impor
tant purposes as letters of credit, and
to secure our unmolested residence in
the country. . ....'..

"The first is this : : Demand of your

ise yourself never, even in jest, to dispute
or express any disagreement. I. tell you
never ! fur what begins in mere banter

expressing any irritation at one another's
words. Mutual forbearance is the one
ijrcat secret of domestic happiness. If
you have cried, confess it freely, even if
confession cost you some '.ears. Farther,
promise faithfully and solemnly ; never

A Sketch. A recent issuo of the
New Yoik Evening Gazette contains the
following scrap of biography :
Horace Greely's nge is 5G.- II is home
is at Chaflaqua, . thirty six miles from
New lork, on tho Harlem Railroad, where
ho has a fancy farm of 100 aores. on
which he has vpent nearly nil his earnings
lor fifteen years. He was married twen
ty-eight years ago, and ho has been the
father of three children, two girls and a
boy, tho latter of whom was particularly
bright, and gavo- extraordinary promise,
but died in his early " childhood. .. Mr.
Greeley had formed tho brightest hopes
of his boy, aud uudcr tho bcreavment his
health for a time gave way. His two
daughters, Gabrielle and- Ida, are 1 aged
rospoctively eight and '-"eighteen years.
They aro at present pupils at a convent
near New York city; tho elder has near
ly finished ' her education. Mr. Greeley
is a meraber of tho Universalist Church.
Ho has never drank spirituous or malt
liqiors,1 never has chewed : or smoked to
bacco, but is a great lover of tea He has
no special personal friends, but is married
to principles. Though owning but ten
shares of stock in the Tribune, ho never
