8 Western Correspondence Topeka, Kansas, Aug. 25, 1872 Editor of Tht Timet : I have just re turned from the front, as Grant used to say in times past, as far M Reno county on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe R. It The county is 80 miles wide and 42 long, contains 1260 square miles, and was organ ized six months ago. Hutchinson, the county seat is a nice, thriving and business town of 2 groceries, 3 dry goods stores, 2 drug stores, 8 bakeries, 1 printing office, 1 bank, 4 lumber yards, 1 tin stove and hard ware store, and has no saloon, and no whis key is permitted to bo sold or given away in the town. There was not a house there last January. Last year there was less than 400 acres broke, now the assessor re turns 6000 acres planted in the county, all done since March. In fact settlers caino in and made their homes since January, and still settling up as rapidly as before. In a year hence, thoro will not bo a " home stead" in the county. The A. T. & 8. R. R., has contracted with Mr. S. P. Kolsey to let him have 80 sections of land to plant in forest and ornamental trees. This road is laying track at the rate of two miles per day ; they have sleeping cars to accommo date 800 men, and their dining car is always pushed along to the front. One man has the contract to board these men ; he has his herder and his butcher along. Another party has the contract to pull up and drive their wells every day, so they have fresh water all the time. The Indians do not trouble them as reported. White renegades steal their horses occasionally. They lost thirty, some two weeks ago in one night. They always follow the trail und if they catch them they hang or shoot them, bury fc and mark their graves " horse thiof." Such is law on the frontier. Instead of letting them live to steal again, they exe cute them to save further trouble. This Arkansas valley is the largest body of good laud I have ever seen in twenty eight States. Tho way tliis got the name of the desert, was about as follows : The Santa Fe trail ran along a range of Sand liills that passes up the valley between the Little and Big Arkansas. I went out to see these singular Sand hills of which so much has been written. They are piles of sand drifted up, some of them 00 feet high, in all shapes, and in little noils covered with dwarf plum, very nice, and wonderfully fruitful. There are little lakes of . fresh water all among these hills, and here and there little streams trickle downthoir sides, and there is grass on most of thom. A strange freak of nature I saw growing on A hillock of pure white sand, blue stem grass 8 foot high. How can we account for vegetation growing on them ? But I am making this too long. Topeka has a new car factory under construction to cost 700,000 dollars, also the Iron King bridge works, to cost 1500,000. They expect to make 150,000 dollars worth of these bridges in 1873. Also the stone work of the Wash burne Cottage is to be finished by the mid dle of September. The female' Seminary is just finished, and will be ready to re ceive pupils by January term. This is a wonderful productive year. Come to our Btate Fair on the 10th of September, and see corn 16 feet high. T. B. T. Foreign Items. Belfast,, August 24. Order has been entirely restored throughout the city and no trouble has occurred during the day. It is confidently hoped the rioting is over. During the prevalence of the riots upwards of one thousand houses were sacked and a vast amount of publio and private property destroyed. The loss cannot bo estimated. The military continue to guard the city. Several English railway companies con template bolishing the use of class car riages on their roads, and adopting the style of cars used In the United States. Geneva, August 27. There is every reason to believe that the arbitrators have settled in principle the question of indemnity, and have fixed approximately tho amount to be awarded for vessels destroyed by Con federate cruisers. It is probable the total amount of damages awarded the Vnited States will be between three and four mil lions sterling. No dependence is to be placed on reports which represent the amount as above or below these extremes. Some further claims remain to be settled. The question of the payment of interest on the sums awarded, which has not boon ap proached, will be considered in Thursday's fitting. . i i Want of coal has compelled tho Great Western Railway of England to close its largo rail mills at Swindon, also the steam hammer shop, some five hundred men are thus thrown out of employment. ' Labor for the harvest, in England, ' is, however, suid 'to be so Bcarce, that a majority of the men have found temporary work'among the farmers. Lisbon, August 28.
