Dear Journal:—As I am away out here, al most at sundown, and thinking that a few lines from this out of the way place would be ia teresting to your readers, if you will kindly give them place, I will say a few words re garding what I have seen and what can be seen in this, the great American desert of for mer times, and really the land of promise to the poor, the homeless, and those seeking a country that has all the elements to make it great. I left Punxsutawney on the 3d inst., and ar rived here on the 7th, after a very pleaannt trip through the States of the great Mississippi Valley. We entered Kansas at Kansas City. by the Pacific railroad, which follows the val ley of the Kansas river and its tributaries for over four hundred miles. This valley embra ces_ one of the finest countries in the West.— I will confine myself more exclusively to Sa line and Saline county, which contains more bottom land than any county in the State, and which has the Solomon, Saline and Smoky Hill rivers, and several smaller streams pass ing through it. Saline, the county seat, ban a population of 3500, fine church edifices, good graded schools, fine public buildings, two banks, alt kinds of professional men, and me,' anodizing of every description is carried on extensively. There are two steam and one water flouring mills, erected at a cost of about $20,000, each one grinding about four hun dred bushels per day. One of the steam mills, owned by M. C. Underwood ik Co., is doing a very fine business. He showed me samples of winter and spring wheat, the former weighing sixty-five and the latter sixty-three and a half pounds to the bushel. Mr. Underwood is one of the target operators in flour b the West.— On my return I will show samples of the grabs which will tell for itself what Saline can do. I cannot tell you one-half in this letter. I find the county well settled with a pepu- Istion of about 8000 enterprising, energetic people, full of vigor and life. There are sev eral railroads centering in this place which will be completed in the next twelve months, including the Kansas Pacific, which passes through the town. Before I leave I must tell you of the soil which, in some places, reaches, to the immense depth of thirty feet! And now don't tell any one that I have seen corn that would yield from seventy to one hundred bushels, shelled, to the acre; wheat yielding , from forty-five to fifty bushels ; oats from sev enty to one hundred bushels ; the finest pota toes I ever saw, and the finest flavored peach es I ever tasted, and for,grapes 4t will equal any country in the world. I will say, from all appearances, Kansas is decidedly a fruit growing country, a grain country, a stock country, a farming country, and will soon be a network of railroads. Politics, I notice, are Grant and Wilson.— On our way up from Kansas City a Grant and Greely man had quite a warm controversy.— It was proposed to take a vote, which resulted Grant 34, Greeley 4, which is about the way Kansas will go. Of all the handsome valleys of the country, you should have been with me, one mile east of Saline, from which stand-point you could see the Solomon river for 30 to 35 miles; could trace the outlines of the Solomon, Saline and Smoky Hill rivers by the timber that borders their banks; could see in the valley, for 5 or 10 miles on either side, farms and handsome houses, the homes of many happy families.— There is room for thousands yet. Land com mands a good price, near the city, but can be bad within a few miles at a reasonable price. There are two classes of land, the bottom and upland. The former is principally taken up, but can yet be bought cheap. Extensive lays of gypsum and plaster of paris exist in this county, which will, no doubt, be a source of great wealth in the future. Yours, very respectfully, JAS. DEAL
