Edwardsville Spectator

A new market for cattle. Some citizens of this county have contracted with the Earl Selkirk to deliver him an hundred and twenty head of cattle, principally cows, at his establishment at the confluence of the Assinaboin, and the Red river of the lakes. The drove is about setting out. They have a long road, through the woods, and many tribes of Indians to pass, and an attack upon the way may not be placed among improbable events. The Earl's establishment, consisting of a small agricultural colony of Scotch, a Fur trading company, and a military garrison, is in latitude 50, long. 23 west from Washington city, in a direct line about 900 miles: the cattle will probably march 1100 or 1200; the Indians volente (willing.)
