TO TARE A HAND THE PROHRERfl OF PACK
ISO WESTWARD STATE NOMINATIONS.
From Our Own Corrtupondent.
Leavenworth, Sept. V 1870. Perhaps
the most important interest in this State at
the present time is the Texan oattle trale.
For years past Texas has sought every market
in the world for her surplus cattle. Thon
lands are driven annually to California, Colo
rado, and the Northern States, and now that
an outlet is found in Kansas, it is estimate 1
that over half a million beeves are driven in
one rear into this State alone. The number
of stock raised in Texas is almost incredible.
Some stock-raisers in Western Texas own as
many as 20,000 head. The labor of marking
and branding seems to be the sole expense
they entail upon their owners. When we
consider that Texas is larger than Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa put to
gether, and is almost one boundless prairie,
covered the year round with the most luxu
riant gross, and that iti soil is as productive
as the Mississippi bottom, come conception
may be formed of its capacity to produce beef
cattle.
To attract this profitable business is the
object of several rival cities in this State.
Abeline, on the Kansas Pacific Railroad, has
been established as a centre of the Texan
catt'e trade, and extensive stock-yards are
built there for the sale and shipping of oattle.
At this time there are 50,000 head pasturing
on the vast ranges which surround this great
cattle emporium. Thither resort buyers from
all the Eastern markets, and sixty car loads
per diem are Bhipped over the Kansas Pacific
Railroad. In addition to Abeline, various
growing towns above this line, Brookville,
Salina, Solomon City, are also doing a con
siderable share of the same kind of business.
On the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad,
which runs southward from Junction City,
Council Grove has grown to be an extensive
shipping point.
But since the extension of the Missouri
River, Fort Scott, and Gulf Railroad to the
border of the Indian Territory at Baxter
Springs, a dangerous rival to overcome in the
cattle trade has sprung up. Only four months
have elapsed since the whistle of the locomo
tive first sounded in that border settlement,
and already an amount of business has con
centrated there which speaks well for its fu
ture prospects. Up to September 1st 15,000
head had been shipped to Kansas City, and
there are now at least 30,000 beeves grazing
on the Indian lands, or within a radius of
twenty miles. A company has been organ
ized for shipping purposes, and extensive
stock yards are being built for the prosecu
tion of the business.
A lively interest is felt by the citizens of
Leavenworth in this rapidly extending busi
ness, and an effort will shortly be made to
have a share in its profits. Work is being
actively prosecuted on the Chicago and South
western Railroad, and a largo force of work
men are engaged laying the substructure of
the Kansas and Missouri bridge. On the
completion of these important works, a more
direct communication with Chicago and the
Eastern lines of traffic will be opened from
this city than any possessed by Kansas City;
and then a branch line extending from
Leavenworth to Omaha, on the Missouri
River, Fort Scott, and Gulf Railroad, a dis
tance of thirty miles, will give this city direct
access to Baxter Springs, and thus open up a
branch of business the future of which defies
all calculation.
An interesting fact in connection with the
cattle trade is the continued progress west
ward of the packing business. Twenty years
ago, when New York, Ohio, Kentucky, and
other Central States raised the bulk of the
cattle consumed in this country, the principal
packing points were Buffalo, Cincinnati,
Louisville, and some other cities on the Ohio
river. But on the building of the Illinois
Central Railroad an immense tide of popula
tion flowed into that State, and the vast
prairies of Illinois in a few years pastured nu
merous herds of beeves, thou
sands of which were annually
driven to Chicago for slaughter. But
recent tables show that the packing industry
has suffered a fearful decline in that city, the
number of beeves packed in Chicago in the
fall of 1864 reaching to 92,459, while the
nnmberf packed last fall had fallen to ll,9ti3
bead. This large decrease is to be attributed
to the establishment of large packing-houses
in Kansas, as the tendency of this business is
to follow closely upon the source of supply.
In Leavenworth we have four considerable
packing establishments, one of which, owned
by Ryan & Whitaker, from Cincinnati, have
a slaughter-house and stock-yards adjoining
the track of the Missouri River Railroad,
which are as complete in their appointments
for the various processes of slaughtering,
cutting, packing, and rendering as any simi
lar establishment in the country. Another pack
ing firm, D. Kinnear & Co., also do an
extensive business, and have commenced
their fall work of hog slaughtering and paok
ing already. I am not able to give your read
ers the figures of the pork packing done in
this city; but, notwithstanding that the busi
ness is in its infancy, it has already attained
astonishing proportions. The demand for
cut meats pressing upon us from the mining
region in Colorado and the rural districts
surrounding keeps constantly in advance of
the supply. The theory advanced by a num
ber of writers that corn raising in Kansas can
never be profitable, as the State is too remote
from an Eastern market, would seem to be
disproved by facts. Our farmers are devot
ing considerable attention to hog raising,
end a number fchow cornrnendablft enterprise
in procuring and breeding from the choicest
kinds. With the Government purchasing
supplies for its numerous military posts, and
the tens of thousands of fresh comers to be
fed for at least a year, and orders coming in
from river towns and remote settlements
hundreds of miles away, it is easy to see that
this interest will admit of indefinite expan
sion, and that the farmer can do better than
rive away two bushels of his grain to get the
iiiid buitttl to m&rktt.
REZOaYlLLE.
Prt ailed Aeronnt h fatarmtn of Si. Prlrnt
A (Muff (Mllcet's Mketrh.
The Berlin (Ann. 8t ) Correspondence of the London
Timtn writ.cn as follows:
To till up the outline of the battle of Rezonvllle, 1
transmit some detailed accounts we have received
from the front. As they will speak for themselves,
I refrain from adding no much m a word of com
ment. The first of the subjoined letters refers to
the part of the 4th Brigade of the Onards, consisting
of the Infantry regiments "Emperor Francis-' and
"jueen Augusta," look In the battle. The writer Is a
staff officer, and the portion of his graphic sketch 1
am going to lay before your readers describes the
storming of St. Prlvat, on the right flank of the
French: "St. Prlvat Is a vlllnge on a steep and
lofty cliff, which commands the ground for many
miles around. The vlllHge has many stone buildings
of considerable height,whlch offer the most valuable
facilities for defensive purposes. Both Its position
and its houses had been turned to excellent account
by the enemy. On this towering height the French
felt the more secure, as the ground all aronnd is
perfectly bare. lUvIng so stationed themselves that
the attacking party wonld bo unavoidably exposed
to the full effect of their guns as soon as It could be
descried in the distance, they thought they had dono
enough, and might confidently await coming events.
Our artlllerv. consisting of at first nine, aad after
wards eleven batteries, under the command of
General Prince Hohenlohe, began the attack. To
wards four o'clock that is, after an Incessant can
nonade of three hours, the enemy's guns were silen
ced by our battcries.wncti ine uuantry were ord-rcd
to advance. Jt was essential to come to c'.oae quar
ters before dark, because the enemy might
otherwise have effected his retreat without any very
serious losses, and forced another bittle upon us the
dny after. Ateo'eloek our brigade, which formed
the first line of the assaulting p.nty, left, the ravine
in which It had sought shelter so long, and ranr.jhed
against St. Prlvat. No oner did the enemy notice
our marcn man ne opened lire upon us it was tne
most destructive quick lire you can imagine. After
a few minutes we had numbers of our comrades
lyltg on the ground, and the nearer we proceeded
the greater oecame our losses. Nor had we tne satis
faction of retaliating upon our advors tries. Sta
tioned as they were behind houses and walls, or
crouching In ditches, they were perfectly Invisible
to us and could not have been fired at eveu If
we had had time to reciprocate their com
Diimcnts. The 1st and 2d Brigades on our left
fared no better. All the generals and staff
officers were on horseback in front of
the attacking party, and after a short time were
either snot or na tneir norses Killed under them.
The enemy's lire was Itke a hall-storm of lead, ex
tending over a distance of at least lw) paces in frout
of the hills. The noise It made perfectly drowned
our commanns, ana tne smoke rendered it lrapos
stble lor our men to handle their weapons with anv
thing like a chance of success. Yet the Uu.ir.N
iievcr nesitateu ior a moment on they went,
strewiDg the ground with their dca 1 and wounded,
determined to conquer or to succumb. Long before
we had reached the enemy our losses attained
snch tremendous proportions that the Prince of
Wnrtemberg, the commander of the (J.iards, give
orders to halt untll'tlic Saxons had made some im
pression on the right wiug of the hostile position.
This and another engagement of our artillery, who
were again sent to the front and resumed operations
against the solid masonry of the village, delayed our
progress for some time. At lost the vlllnge began to
burn, and we had some hopes of belBg able to pene
trate through the shower of missiles which were
still falling as fast and thick as ever. At 6 we re
sumed the charge. The enemy, though his Hank had
been turned by this time by the Saxons, still fought
with desperate valr, and defended every single
house in the place. Within fifteen minutes we dis
lodged him entirely, when his ranks suddenly broke,
and the whole mass, which had made so long anil
obstinate a resistance, all at once fled In confusion
towards Metz. But the cost of victory this time
damped our joy In It. Nearly all the officers In our
brigade were either dead or wounded. The rank and
file bad likewise supplied a frightful quota of casual
ties, Every one of us lamented the death of a rela
tion, a filend, or an acquaintance. We had certainly
succeeded In Intercepting the enemy on his march to
the capital, but we had done so at almost too great a
sacrifice. We passed the night on the battle-field, a
good many of us sleeping In the tents which the
enemy had left behind him when taking to a pre
cipitate flight. Wonderful luxuries and comforts
we discovered In the tents of the French officers.
Beds and chairs and rockers and curtains and car
pets adorned the temporary abodes of these refined
Reutlemen. Even perfumery belonged to their in
dispensables, and there was certainly no want of
looking-glasses. What a contrast to us, who sleep
on the bare ground, our generals lying down with
the rest, whenever we cannot find shelter In a vil
lage ! When we looked at the French tents and the
numerous imptdimtnta contained in them, we quite
understood why the French cannot march so rapidly
as we do. But, to give them their due, they fought
well while under cover. As long as they kept behind
walls their conduct etait lout ce qui pent etredcxire.
As to assuming the offensive and coming to close
quarters, they never thought of It. They
are brave soldiers, and slaughtered us In the most
terrific manner; jet there Is no denying that they
have lost the elan that formerly distinguished them,
and place greater confidence in a ditch and a long
range gun than in anything else. The day after the
battle was a most melancholy one. We spent It In
burying thedead, and while we were heaping corpses
upon corpses our bands played the old beautiful
chorale, "Jesus meine Zuverslcht." As we stood
around the pits we had dug In the ground, and
looked at the dead lying at our feet in silent
rows, there were few among us who did not feel
the tears coursing down their checks. No
one that sits quietly at home and reads the
reports from the battle-fields la the papers can have
the faintest Idea of what the horrors of war really
are. Life and limb, treasure and property, alike
melt away In the furnace of battle. Eternal dis
grace to the infamous wretches who have conjured
up all this misery 1 Towards 9 o'clock our friends
the faxons passed the improvised cemetery. Cheer
ful and good-natured as ever, they marched to a
spirited tune tlfat broke strangely upon our ears,
but they had awakened the musical propensities of
some of our men, and hymns and national anthems
filled the rest of the evening."
NOTES OF THE WAN.
THE GARDE MOBILB AT VITKV.
The Journal dt la Marnt of August SO says:
sVery pad news has been received respecting the
Gardes Mobiles at Vitry. It appears that at lirat It
had been Intended to defend Vltry, but when the
PiusslaiiB were approaching It was determined to
send off to Chateau Thierry the battalion of Gardes
Mobiles which bad been formed from the young men
of the arrondlssements of Vltry and Ste. Menenould.
.At the same time the guns on the ramparts were
Bplked and cast Into the fosse. The Prussians, al
ways kept well acquainted by their spies of wnat is
going on among us, obtained a hint or this, and sud
denly made their appearance before the town. In
stead ef remaining united and compact, the battalion
oi uarues Mounts uispersed. one portion, of which
we have not hitherto received any precise
Intelligence, appeared disposed to follow
the road originally prescribed for them,
but another portion, of which the
men came from the Ste. Menehould, attempted to
return to their arrondlssement. on their way thither
they were attacked by a body of Prussian troops.
The Mobiles threw themselves Into the woods to
escape from the onslaught of tte cavalry, some of
whom they killed, but the enemy's Infantry drove
them out, and they were again attacked by the cav
alry. A frightful scene eusued. cruthed by num
bers, short of ammunition, and little accustomed to
the use of arms, the Mobiles offered to become pri
soners. The Prussians, however, refused to recog
nize them as soldiers, and continued to massacre
them. Alieady some fifty had been killed and
wounded, when some persons succeeded lu proving
to the Prussian commander, by the written order of
route, that the men he was attacking were really
soldiers. The surrender was then accepted, aad the
wounded were removed to Ste. Menehould."
ECKNES IN 1'ARIS.
A Tarls correspondent says drilling goes on con
stantly. At the Tuileries to-day 1 witnessed a large
body of the youngbters being put through their exer
cises. The Instructors gave their commands in the
most conhiderate and even polite tone of voice, while
the men In tne ranks begged each other's pardon for
any casual awkwardness lu a stvle somewhat dif
ferent from the fashion in which Sergeant Kite and
hispupii.or Private Jones and Private Smith respect
ively act upon an English parade ground.
A whole regiment that seems to have had a long
march of it bus down to rest on the flags of the
Hue lvlenne. They are gazed upon with admiring
Interest from the windows and balconies, while
several persons stoop down to shake hauds ami
fraternize with them. In the Place Vcndoiue, the
soul ler-loungers again swarm as thickly as bees.
Toys are prepared for children to suit the times. I
have Been Cieruians made to be knocked down with
a stick, and a representation of a fort stormed and
carried by Zouaves, who could be moved to the
attack with a handle, the machinery simultaneously
causing the Prussians to fall back and disappear
before the victorious Frenchmen. A hoarse rat
tling Inside was meant, I suppose, to imitate the
roar of artillery. The print shops, of course, are gay
with pictorial successes of France over Crermany. 1
never saw any one buying a caricature either comic
or serious of the occasion. People stare at theiu
ard pats on. Businws lu the music shops is equally
dull. We are not lu the humor for singing just now.
Business everywhere Is almost at a standstill. The
gnu shops end Innumerable admirers, and 1 should
trunk a fair supply of customers. Revolvers are
largely purchased, and I wonder we do not hear of
accidents. The better class of restaurants are coin
vwi:ve:y deserted.
AT ST. MARIS ACX mBNtr.
A correspondent at 8t. Marie sun oneors u ves
the following graphic account of scenes recent) v
witnessed at mat place. "Almost every noose in
this village Is a hospital, and wals, doors, and win
dows are pierced witn snot. I'russians ana rrencn
lie side by side, and almost at the moment 1 was
offering a cigar at one bedside the soul of Its occu
pant departed. In the girdcus stiff and ghattly
bodies lie waiting for sepulture, and their nation
ality could onlv be guessed by the gtean coa. thrown
over them. After about an hour and a half we
moved on to St. Trivat, the spot where the most
violent struggle occurred. The church and houses
arc nearly all destroyed.
"Picture to yourself a vast plain, terminating to
wards the horizon In verdant woods and luxuriant
and undulating pasture. In the midst, a heap of
blackened ruins, a farm hut, the Insignificance of
which has saved it from total destruction. Gardens
trodden do an, trees torn with shot, all aronnd burst
ing graves, rudely-coostrncted crosses, remains of
bivouacs, dead horses, broktn tumbrils, arms, sha
koes. uniforms, ammunition barrels, in front of
crumbling walls which a few days since enclosed
contented homes, sitting on bare stones in mute
agony of deep despair poor women, to whom nothing
is left but the memory of a past. May God
save England from such a scene as this! Here,
In company with Mr. Herbert, I visited all the
wounded, and to every one 1 gave a cigar and a lump
of chocolate. This last was greatly appreciated,
and the gratitude of the recipients afforded me some
of the happiest moments 1 have ever experienced.
In one place were lying crowded together a number
of men, not one of whom bat had lost an arm or a
leir. In manv cases bolh. I must protest to vou. ami
I shall not cease to do It as long as I remain near the
theatre of war, that the statement which is every
day made to the effect that personal assistance is
not required Is false; and I will treat in the sanvj
manner the statement that the French wounded
are treated with the same consideration as the Prus
sians." TUK KMrEROn'S "FIXED ideas."
The Berlin correspondent of the Cologne (,'r:fv,
commenting on the Emperor Napoleon's propensity
for "flxed Ideas,'' which lead lain Into fatal mis
takts, says:
"In the Mexican expedition he was Influenced not
onlv by the known desire of playing a part as head
of the Latin race on the ottnr side of the Atlintlc, J
and at the same time of weakening the I nited
States, but by another notion. In the obstinate be
lief thai In one way or another he should become
roaster of Belgium, he wished the childless Maxi
milian to adopt the Belgian royal family, which,
strange ss it sounds, was to be transported to
Mexico. That the Bclgiaa railway affair, subse
quently, was more serious than many people
at, the time believed the recent
official revelations of Prussia have shown.
It is certainly knowD, moreover, fiat while
that dispute was pending at the beginning of last
year there was serious talk In French oillolal circles
of the occupation of Belgium. The War Minister,
Marshal Kiel, even repaired to Maubeuge In order
to Inspect the Belgian frontier. The thing waa then
abandoned, or rather postponed, partly because
England and Prussia were distrusted, partly because
France was still less ready for war tlian a few
months ago. Rouher and Nlel were not quite so
llghthcartedss the Parliamentary Ministry of the ltd
of January. All this comes from a good source,
and It should be pondered, especially at Brussels.
The Belgian press should at length learn to under
stand that Belgium's neutrality Is Infinitely hotter
Insured by ajstrongtlermany thanyjnaper treaties '
