KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, ) Sunday, July 10th, 1870. J DE AH Cou m lill :-As we have to romain over herc for a few hours, will work up our rude notes of travel to this place. On Friday, nt G o'clock a. m , wc set out on Hughes' stngo coach for Kit Carson, the tonninus now of tho Kansas & Pacific Kail road-bad bc lght through ticket to St. Louis, Mo., paid ?00.75. Travelled up Cherry Creek-thc most beautiful country you can imagino. Near this point tho Santa Fe, Mexico, stage road and this bavo their junc tion and their stutions, in half milo of each other, and tho distance to Santa Fe, foui hundred miles, mudo in seventy-two hours, to Denver from Santa Fo. Wo leave thc settlements now, and next station linds us al Sulphur Springs, ten miles from tho last sta tioti, and twenty-two miles from Denver City nud amongst tho foot-hills and pine barren.' or bolts, similar to the pine belts of Northeast Texas. We pass through similar country t< Running Water Creek, len miles, stage station and Mr. Edward Austin bas a small stoic and grocery, that tho Mexicans or Spaniards who aro thc principal teamsters, hauling lum ber, wood and coal from thc pineries around patronize. Ile bas a small ranche, and wc noticed, from his sign, had worked for sma'! wages. From this point, going through a similar section, ten milos, wo arrive at Kiowa Station-dinner homo, by stage agent, and a small ranche, of good land, on thc Kiowr Crock ; was settled in 1S?5, by a man win bad $700. lie bas now fenced 160 acres two hundred hoad of cattle, out of debt, mic worth S 1,500. Three miles before wo reae.l this station, tho Bijou Basin road turned of west. Dijou (pronounced Bisu-Spanish] Basin is a park, and water in it; from it rum tho Kiowa; settled pretty thickly. This ii tho region thc Arrapahoc and Sioux Indians iu 1808, attempted to olear out of the whites and near whoi 1 our friend .Moss was murder >ed, 28th September, lS??. Wo pass oi through similar region, tor the last tWOUtj miles to Walker's Station ; twelve miles nox on to Heed Spring Station. Undulating prairie country; low and scrubby pines or bill and fine grass. But no stock; in Indiai country; no settlements between stations; nc ono at stago station, except ono man in hil adobo hut, with portholes, and his Henry oi Winchester llillo, and navy pistol nt his side While tho chango of horses was being made wo went two hundred yards immediately ii front of stage station, on tho undulating prai ric, and found tho grave!1 of John B. Mos; and.two comrades, who was murdered by tin Indians in this section, m 28th September 1868, ns bis rudo load board, in ponoil hie roglyphics, read. Mr. / ustin had so partie ularly described thc circumstances, placo, &e that wo bad no trouble to identify thc same Our pilgriinago was necessarily short, for w saw tho stage in readiness and hastened bael' Wo pass on to Big Sandy River Station twolvo milos rolling prairie, no timber, ploiit of wolves and antelope running around us. Big Sandy is now dry-200 yards wide. V/ had crossed Littlo Sandy tinco milos bac: from Heed Spring, fifty yards wido, nlso dry but bridges on them to oross in winter. The on through similar country to Liiko Stat io -supper house-stopped half hour. Her wo como to tho rai I rond and soldier camps rough pince-paid $1 for good supper chango drivers, and inado trado. Qo dow railroad to Willow Springs Station, sixtee miles-arrivo nt ll o'clock p. ni, Mun ?oldior3 hero-tho commender, Col. Gngi sent an escort with tho coach to protect froi Indians. Ho asked us if wo wcro nrincd told him we bad a good navy ; said that wn "bettor than nothing," and that lend us t think tbnt wo had poor arms to fight Indian with. Ho said, "you nir?y bo attacked abou daylight in Ibo morning-thoy never nttao at night. Wo bavo jei> mnny of tho <ro dovils' around this ovonipg-clovon a fo miles tho way you go," &o.. Wo pnss on I noxt station, Hugo, sixtcon miles-soldici hero. Loavo ot 1 o'clock, a. m. ; pass on I Kit Carson, thiitoon miles, arriving nt o'clock, a. m., twenty minutes beforo tho rai road train etartod-bad cup ooffoo nt Pori llouso, and got oh tho train. So you soo ?. did not lonvo Ono scalp with tho Indians ; an on thc route, tho nearest wo saw nn India waa bis "dorg," thut (lio soldiers claim UH nu Indian dog, but tho Mexionns aro "pomo lu d?aos" themselves, and aro tho freighters for tho railroad-it might have boon theirs, but bo was on tho railroad near tho Ravines or Big Sandy, that wo carno down all tho way from LaltQ ?Station, nud Ut, they said, "a good Indian country." In May lust, tho Indians made a raid on tho ruilroud from near Kit Carson to Lake Station, killing eighteen mon, and driving off three ur four hundred heud of mulos and horses; took them from tho rail road cuts, and murdered thc men in tho pits, &o. About this region is tho main Indian and b?llalo cropping*-hoad of tho Arkansas Uiver j und ut Lake Station, tho only water for many miles at this season of tho year, hence tho dangerous region. Last sum mer, thc stages had to stop running on account of the depredations. We aro not, wc think, constitutionally "searcy," and generally have boen prudent about running into danger, un til thia time. Now, what need induce a man to take a stage coach alono F foi' we bad no passenger ac night with us, and only ono in day, ho a railroad band, and stopped at fust soldier's station, (Mr. Huntington, of Poon., "who had seen .Jonathan on his visit,) and travel ono hundred and Guy miles, all tho way through tho most hostile Indian country in thc world. Thcro arc estimated to bo about 20,000 warriors now on tho Plaines, (and these very plain,") and as they aro ubiquitous almost, why may uot somo of thom have seen and "gone for" us '{ And il they had, don't you seo the consequence-no one loft to abuse rudioats in Oconeo, ch ? Well, wc only account for it in this way, be ing somewhat of a "Predestinar?an," our doc trine is, "what is to bc will be, if it never is,' and wc felt determined tn make the pilgrim age to tho gravo of our friend, J. li. Moss, and ascertain thc particulars of his death, &p Kit Carson is, as wo havo said, tho tomi i nus of thc Kansas and Pacific Railroad, ant claims, perhaps, OOO inhabitants. First sta tion, ten miles out, is First View,-watci tank,-next, Cheyenne Wells. We met ol train Cen. Woods, who ?ri in command of al tho forces west ol' Fort Wallace, seventy mile east of Kit Carson. Ho was on his way fron thc W?storn Division to his home at For Wallace. Ho told us that ho was in com maud of tho "Star of tho West," when, lr said, wo would not let him into Charleston and that be was in command of the left win; of Sherman's army in his march throng Georgia ami South Carolina; that near Cc lumbia, S. 0., they captured a "Knigh Tom pier's" sword, that ho had sent bick l South Carolina, ?fcc. Wo found him a pleas ant gentleman, and derived much varied ir formation from bim. Ho also had tra voile from Jerusalem to Babylon, and, perhaps, ha better water than wo find on thia Deset Plaine, '.br it is so impregnated with alka that it is with great deal of troubkvthe ci gincors can make their machinery run "i timo " You will see and boar the engine: sometimes, pulling like a soda well, and at tl hotel this morning tho water, in wasbitlj foamed like a Sod i fount. lt is said that tl potato starch will obviato all this trouble then, why not use it ? Wo need not enumerate all tho stations. Suffice it that wo name Monotony, somcwhoi near Sheridan, and that it is thc propose junction, ; ni will sec, of t'ois Denver and P Ollie end and tho main lino to Mexico < Southern California. Thc. country is a lev plain for two hundred miles or upwards, ai you cro?s but few running streams. Is t tho divide between tho Arkansas and tl Smoky Hill or Republican rivers Shoridi is about one hundred miles from Kit Cursoi and about ono hundred milos above Ha l ily, Kansas; and tho Stato linc of Kans, and Colorado Territory is between Sherill; and Pond Lake, thc next station ?ibo* Sheridan. From Hays City to this place, the count is generally well watered, and a good ?leal limber. Hays ison liiji Creek, Wo hi .supper at lillis, a few miles above Hays, ai night soon sot in-daylight found us at.fun tion City, in Kansas Near boro wc ero tho Republican Uiver, as largo as Seno Uiver in South Carolina ; lind the count pretty well settled up. 'Tissaid 50,000 fat ?lies oaup^itlto Kaunas Stato last year. Pa: od Topeka, tho capital, twooly eight mil from Lawrence ; and from Lawrence to tl place, perhaps, fifty miles-no "way bill'' band. We Und the corn looking very find pow ussciting. Wheat, oats and barley got being cut. Find watermelons and pum pk i growing luxuriantly ; find tho Jamostow Polk, hog weed and many others that r found with us. Wo cross Kansas or Kaw River at Sta Liiic City, near junction of Kaw and Missoi Hivers, and find Wyandotte City, Kans: just adjoining on .Missouri River, and y can't tell State Linc City from Kansas City the ono begins or tho other ends-only ni haps Kansas City extends farthest up on t Bluffs. It is a largo town or city, porhn Ht),000 inhabitants-Stato Linc City sinai and new. Wc have written you very hastily, and 1 out many things moro important, than have put in, perhaps, and will say for Kalil she is the prettiest Stato wc ever saw. Gai through her wholo length, and un averago lier beauty. Tho best land, so said by tin who have been moro over ber boundary ; I for a Southern man to sottlo boro wo wot not adviso. Tho "Lawrence Massaero," t Border Ruffian War, tho Southern men n Jim Lane, Jay-hawkers in 1850 or 1 Si that Baker, Wilkes and Rice mot in mot combat, ito., nnd moro recently, "Quantrc Burning and Raid on Lawrence," arc not i never will bo forgotten by Kansas settlors. This evening, 4 o'clock, p. m., wo prop to go on to St. Louis, Mo., and may wt you again. In basto, yours truly, ceo., ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI,) July 13th, 1870. J Dr. An Cou ni KU :-Wo wroto you last fr Kansas City, by railroad, (West Kansas ci fie,) 272 miles, running tho samo fror o'clock, p. m., to 7 o'olock, a. m., and st ping at ?il) littlo towns, not stations, now you have found on tho railroads West of tl but, as this is a now road, thc towns arc $ orally small. Tho first ono of any note, from Kansas City, is Liberty Landing, on Missouri River. At this placo tho r.iilr runs on bank of tho rivor for somo distar and passes through a turnio!, on tho bani tho river somo 1,500 feet long. Wo abo havo said that wc crossed tho Missouri Ri at Knnsus City, on a fino iron bridgo, ab ono milo long, and onss out from rivor c trestle about ono milo long, and from 5( 800 foot to terra firma, good and real. F this to Richmond and Lexington Junot 28 mile?, (tho supper homo, and four m I-r - -i ?_i^^^Min\^<ii?i.itmiiii mmjnm ? ri min li namul j froto Loxiugton, on Missouri river, in sight.,) ; tito country is rich bottom landa, heavily j wooded nod thickly settled, nud tho orops corn, wheat, oats and hay, priucipally, uro j lino, beyond comparison. Muiiy saw mills along, and all scorn to bo doing u heavy busi I ness. All along, you find life in everything. j From this Junction to St. Churlos, tho samo may bo said of tho wholo railroad lino, except I that in sonto places tho lauds aro not so hoav I ily timbered, in faOt sonio places prairie and I undulating, but most all of it in cultivation, ? or fenced. At St. diarios, 22 miles from this city, wo cross tho Missouri river again, thc cars crossing without breaking bulk, on a railroad steam boat. Tho track is so ar ranged on tho banks of river that tho cars run right on to tho boat, ns if on land. The ride across tho river was ''steam boat timo," und I they count by tho "knot," you know, and not by railroad time, but tho delay was but I little. From St. Charles City to this is a beautiful, level, rioh country, and superbly so. lt had rained for a day or two, and nil night, and was raining as wo came in, und that perhaps added to thc general liveliness of thc crops, vegetation, &0.j principally of which is corn, wheat, outs, (out,) sorghum, hemp and hay Wc paid two dollars for buck to drivo us to tho "Southern Ilotol," nod allow us to say, that when you como herc, maka n bargain with your hack mun in advance, or elso he will "go for all you havo." St. Louis reminds us very much of Charles ton, once tho queen city of tho'South Cull tho Mississippi Hiver a buy, and you would judge all the great shipping of thc world was hero. To look at ber boats in tho distance, loading nod unloading, passing and ropassing, oro. Tho city has, also, that busy, running, draying and business aspect that once was seen on tho Bay at Charleston. Thc city claims not to bc less than third or fourth business place, in thc United States, and also of population, Now York, Chicago, New Or leans, San Francisco, and then St. Louis, and perhaps St. Louis ahead of Chicago, should guess it was. Thc upper Mississippi, more than three centuries ago, found Ponce de I Leon on her turbid waters, attempting to lind I tho "magic fountain of youth," but ho failed I in the attempt. A few years later, Desoto, I a bold Spanish adventurer, landed, A. 1)., 1541, on thc Southon) coast of Florida, and j pushed out Westward, until ho also struck ; the banks of a wide and turbid stream, tho j Mississippi. A century lat'*r thc French I Jesuits penetrated tho wiblcrnc-s, up to tho I St. Anthony Kails, now in Minuc-ota, and formed treaties of friendship, Sic , amongst tho wibi Indians who then inhabited these immediate "Western wilds," thc principal . tribes then being thc Sioux, Saes, Foxes, Obojibnwas nod Crows, nod still hitor, in 180-1, Messrs. Lewis and Clark stinted upon their expedition from this place, to make peace, and treaties with these same people. I and to explore the country to thc Cacilie, which mission was accomplished to tho satis faction of tho American people, they return ing to this place in 18'..)t) Ho it. seems that thc band of destiny was always turned in the direction of this great Western world, und could thc first, adventurers seo tho fruits o? their labor nod peril they would, no doubt, j feel amply compensated for their discovery, ?vC. W here mino, (and comparatively lately, too,) was the Indian "wakin^s/VojaJ'tope," now is a city ?>r town of gigantic proportions, and tho wild wastes utilized for the benefit of a great nation, now lording it over its wide ex ! pause, and paying into our Treasury untold j wealth, in way of taxes, &c j an 1 allow us to say, just here, that thc national capital, at j Washing, ought, of I'igllt, to bis located some ? where just. here. For it to longer rc i main thc seat of tho general government of thc United States is a wrong tb a should bo corrected. .Just think, a moment, ami run your eye over thc map of these United States j and locate Washington. Do you find her on i tho outskirts of them ? What are the chances to approach her? One railroad, eb ! What aro the resources and productions of hot' ad joining States -"wooden nutmegs.M "Yankee notions" and "Oneida free lovers," ell ! Thou contrast tho wealth of tho Wost, thc real landed, mechanical, planting and mercantile, strike the difference, and then say whether or not this soctiqjt, thc center of the United States, with every facility of approach, by water or railroad, one. or many, should not have, for her convenience and that of thc fur West, tho capital here. We attended tho ".Manning Minstrels" hist evening, und was well entertained. The bes' thing WO saw was a burlesque upon the Kev. Hon, fl ?rum Revels, colored Senator in Congress from Mississippi, his speeches, his toilet, dress nud rooms tn Washington, nod never saw nil audience enjoy a thing moro. To day wc calculate to leave for home, via Cincinnati, Ohio, Louisville, Ky., und Knox ville, Tenn., and us wc may reach home near, ly by thc timo this serall reaches you, and as all your renders are familliar with the country, wc need not, nor will not boro them with our crude rambling notes. Then allow us to bid you nu adieu, and sing to you our Irish song, that we generally endorse : "O, wc have roamed in many lands, And many fri.nds we've niel, Not. ona lair soono or kindly smile, Can our fond heart, forget ; but we'll confess, we'ro canton?, No moro w<i wish lo roam : 0,'steer our birk to Mri n's ilse, For i?rln is our homo."
