Show From (ho Yellowstone F.xpedi-lion. F.xpedi-lion. We had a pleasant visit, yesterday, from Mr. A. H. Dashiell, correspondent correspon-dent of the Xew York Jb !! with Stanley's Yellowstone expedition. The gentleman arrival in this city Thursday, Thurs-day, direct from the front, lie left New York about the middle of May, and traveled with the expedition till tho 19th of August, when, in company com-pany with two men only, he left it al the big bend of the Mussel Shell river, traveling on foot to Ponipey's Pillar on the Yellowstone, thence up Uk l.,tt,. Irt HAvonvtn TiCJ ,..1 l.. crossed to Fort Ellis, Montana, a total distance of nearly 160 miles, through an unexplored country, without guides, and without seeing a white ' man on the journey. The party endured en-dured many hardships on the way, being compelled to cross the Yellowstone Yellow-stone imuuncrablc times, carrying their blankets and arms. Mr. D. des- cribes the country through which be passed as being fertile, well watered and timbered, and abounding with numerous kinds of game, which, being unaccustomed to the sight of the hunter, arc quite time. Vivid descriptions des-criptions of his travels and of the doings of the expedition, including the two fights with the Indians, in both of which he took an active part, will be funushed the readers of the X. Y. Btral'l; as will also fidl account of the spilling of $S,000 worth of commissary com-missary whiskey, and the circumstances circum-stances of the arrest of Gen. Custer by Stanley, which is denounced as wholly unwarranted. Mr. Dashiell looks as if he had lost nothing in health on the trip, being bale and hearty, and only fatigued by the journey hero sinco leaving the command. Ho took tho afternoon train, yesterday, fox San Francisco. |
