A dinner was given by citizens of Franklin at which twenty-three toasts were drunk. "General Jackson" was not overlooked. A similar dinner was given at Chariton.

YELLOWSTONE EXPEDITION, 1819

June 25, 1819. The Western Engineer arrived at St. Louis June 9. "The bow of the vessel exhibits the form of a huge serpent, black and scaly, rising out of the water from under the boat, his head as high as the deck, darted forward, his mouth open, vomiting smoke, and apparently carrying the boat on his back. From under the boat, at its stern, issues a stream of foaming water, dashing violently along. All the machinery is hid. Three small brass field pieces, mounted on wheel carriages, stand on the deck; the boat is ascending the rapid stream at the rate of three miles an hour. Neither wind nor human hands are seen to help her; and to the eye of ignorance, the illusion is complete that a monster of the deep carries her on his back, smoking with fatigue, and lashing the waves with violent exertion."—Enquirer.

July 2, 1819. Announces "with great satisfaction" the arrival, this day, of five large keel boats, with 260 troops, exclusive of officers, "being a part of the expedition destined for the Yellow Stone." The boats announced their approach by firing swivels, each having one. They left Belle Fontaine on the 14th of June. Officers: Colonel Talbott Chambers, Captain James S. Gray, Lieutenant Scott, Lieutenant Keith, and Doctor Malone. They remained in Franklin about three days; left on the 5th for the Council Bluffs.

July 9, 1819. Notices the arrival of a keel boat from Cumberland county, Ky., "loaded with families." Made "rapid progress" "against the powerful current of the Missouri, with the aid only of a small sail and favorable wind." Also a keel boat from Cincinnati, with merchandise, etc.

WESTERN ENGINEER

July 16, 1819. Arrived Tuesday, July 13. Major S. H. Long; Major Thomas Biddle, Lieutenants Graham and Swift; Major Benjamin O'Fallon, Indian Agent; Mr. [John] Dougherty, assistant agent and interpreter; Dr. William Baldwin, Botanist; Mr. Thomas Say, Zoologist; Mr. Jessup, Geologist; Mr. Seymour, landscape painter; Mr. Peale, assistant naturalist. Dr. Baldwin quit at Franklin on account of illness.

July 23. General Jesup and Colonel Atkinson arrived at Franklin by land, from St. Louis, July 19. On Thursday, July 15th, the Expedition arrived with about 300 troops, including officers &c., accompanied by several keel boats.

July 30. Citizens of Franklin give Atkinson and other officers a dinner July 27th.

General Jesup left Franklin for Fort Osage, a few days since, to superintend the affairs of the expedition. Keel boats started several days since. Officers on board, Brevet Major Ketchum; Captain Hamilton; Lieutenants Ellison and Mansfield; Captains Livingston, Reed and Boardman. The Expedition left Franklin July 30, at 6 a. m.; Major Humphreys; Brevet Major Foster; Adjutant Standifort; Lieutenants Durand and Giving; Dr. Nicoll. Colonel Atkinson will probably remain until the arrival of the other steamers and keel boats.

"Fairplay," replying to an attack by the St. Louis Enquirer, says the Calhoun could not proceed up the Mississippi on account of injury to her machinery; fell back from Cape Girardeau. The Exchange was at the end of her voyage at St. Louis, and it was not intended that she should go farther.

Aug. 6. The Johnson, Captain Colfax, for Council Bluffs, arrived at Franklin August 3. Passengers, Captain Haile; Lieutenants Wilcox and Bedel, and Surgeon

Mower [probably Samuel C. Muir, post surgeon] of the Sixth regiment; Lieutenant Talcott of the engineers, one company of soldiers, and the band of the Sixth regiment. Started at 9 o'clock August 5. The Johnson fired a salute.

Aug. 13. The Expedition arrived at Chariton August 5-left Franklin July 30, at 6 a. m. At 2 p. m. that day her rudder was unshipped by a snag, detaining her three days. It was said that the machinery was working well. The Johnson probably reached Chariton, twenty-five miles above Franklin, next day out from Franklin. It was understood that the Jefferson had been lying about thirty miles below for eight or ten days. Owing to its peculiar construction, this boat has made wretched progress so far.

A large number of keel boats with troops, provisions, &c., have already passed.

Aug. 20. Letter to the editor from an officer of the Western Engineer says she reached Fort Osage August 1, and departed August 10. Colonel Atkinson left Franklin August 13, for Fort Osage. Colonel Chambers and his troops were still there. The Expedition was within twenty miles of Fort Osage on the 10th instant.

The Johnson, on the 16th instant, was near mouth of Grand River, on a sand bar, rudder broken.

The Jefferson was abandoned thirty miles below Franklin. Her cargo will be taken up in keel boats.

Sept. 3. The Expedition left Fort Osage August 24, accompanied by the keel boats and troops under command of Colonel Chambers "and all the troops stationed at that place."

Sept. 17. The Western Engineer left Martin Cantonment (Cow Island) August 20. The party of naturalists who left Fort Osage to proceed by land were robbed of everything by Pawnee and Oto Indians on August 18,
