Correspondence 'of the Pittstinrgh Gazette.
DmiyEa.,.Cor.oneito, Aug. 13,1868.
_
I The plains, all the way from Monumen t
to Denver, are rolling or undulating, and
rise in altitude imperceptibly to the base , of
. . •
,'the mountain. Xange. The climate
• of this
`region is very pejmliar, owing to Its altitude,
its remoteness frrim large bodies of water,
,the cOnipOsitiOn,alta soil, and, its proxim,
Ity to the-great -mountain range. : . It rains
bat seldota; occasional stiewere fall inlhe,
winter' and spring ; the sampler ,days are
;hot, the thermometer often rising to - 100 de.
great; -the-nightsare always - cool and 'dew
less. The great climate • characteristic is,
intense sunshine and ableneo of moisture.
There are a few, small, running streams,
the bottom lands on which are fertile'; and
; produce spontaneously luxuriant • crops of
-grain, and where cultivated yield , im-•
'noise quantities of small grain; hay • and"
vegetables. The uplands have a rich, warm,:
sandy and 'gravelly loam, and when irri
gated produce even more abundantly than
• the bottom lands. • The plains are every
.;',where covered with Buffalo and Gramma
grass. Innumerable herds of buffalo, elk,
deer, and antelope have subsisted from time
immemorial on:the rioh — grasses which af
„ford the best - pasturage in the world, sum.:
mer and winter. 'Oa the &stem side ()Mho
plains are many high bluffs composed chiefly
:of sokyellow, marl. As 'you go Westward
the bluffs gradually disappear until they'
I• are entirely lost, and then there are fOrtriore
than a hiindred miles” big rolling ridges,
smooth'and nbroken, and covered with
i. , short, stunted, but very •nutritious Buffalo
About,five.o'plock in the.;a ft erneon ..the
- .
coach arrived at- Fort ;Wallace.Here we
-were told that the Cheyenne Indians , dis
, ,satistiedWitb.tlie refuge,' Oftlie Government
to 'distribute arms,. had , -broken up their
camp anrcihreie moving - North on the war
path, and that we were likely to encounter
some of their brave:Nag the stage route pass
ed. directly 'through their chosen battle
ground. An officer front the Fort L 'entered
the coach with orders the troops along
the route to keep a sharp lookout for the red
skin warriors. He was armed with a
Spr nglieldrifie,two Colt's navy revolvers, a
huge knife, three bottles of whisky, and
'written orders from his superior officer. •He
'took his seat in the coach, leaned back in
truly - heroic style, deposited his arms,
Whisky and. all between hisfeet on the bot
tom of the coach, and swore he would have
need of "them all before moneing." He
- traveled with ns about a hundred and fifty
miles, and loaded himself frequently from
his whisks bottles, and nearly all the passran
gers with his abuse. He often isstiedorders
to bafollowed in case of an attack. Those
unarmed were to get out of the coach 'and
run for their livea, while he would "pep Per
• the d- 7 nt redskins" and cover the re
--treat. I had no deetre to meet with a hostile
band of savages, yet I often found , myself
wishing to hear the war•hoop, that I might
have the fun' of seeing the officer leap out
of the stageand run for his life, as I was
sure he would do, notwithstanding all his
boasting, of his nerve and heroism.
- The permanrnt buildings of Fort Wallace
are con-truered of blocks of the yellow marl
-aloe mentioned, equerry of which has been
• opened in the 'bluffs South of the Snioky. '
'lbis stone
_is uniform in its texture,
-•• fine grained, and co soft 'as to be easily
a worked with carpenters' tools. It grows
very hard on exposure to the infln
enote of the atmosphere. on aecoent
of the magnesia which it contains. '1 lir
-"blocks are of.various eolora, white, red and
yeltow,.which i,ives the building a variegit
- ted and beautiful appearance. The soil tier
miles, both emit and west of the Fort, pre.
• seats a sunhUrnt - and very barren appear
ance, but it is altogether very probable that
with irrigation by Artesian wells, or from
streams, if practicable, that large crops of
vegetable and the- smaller and the hardier
grains might be produced. From fifty
miles east of Abilitir to the Rocky. Moun
tains corn will never be a profitable crop,
; pa account, of the -shortnees of• the, season
and the.uoldness at the nights. • .
Pond Creek Station, Some sir miles west'
of Fort Wallace, is , a town of five or six',
plank houses, and some fifty cotton tent '
shanties. Why there should be a "city" in

What the people were doing-and why they

Fort days to 'Pond Creek, which is the
last "city" one passes till he reaches rien

the inhabitants to cultivate even a gar den

One, thitt,the inhabitants are not permenent
citizens. , They are constantly on the - wing.
They remain at a place for while, till they
pick up a few dollars and then they are up

Notes 'of
teorrespontrine:i of the Pittsburgh Gazette-7
The summer of 1868 will be memorable
in time to come for the long and excessively
heated term.
The effectsiof the great heat are various
and serious. Many deaths have Occurred
from it all over the world, and the universal
stagnation in:business is owing to it in great
This is the hottest summer ever known
in Kansas. The thermometer stood from
120 to 140 in the sun, and yet, notwith
standing the great heat, no deaths from
sunstroke are reported, owing, doubtless,
to the constant breeze and pleasant 'nights.
•The small grain 9 crop has been telly up to
the average, and wheat above the average,
many fields yielding over thirty bushels , to
the acre. -
The corn crops looked very promising
until the middle of July, when the great
heat appeared to, scorch , it, and in some
localities it will be almost an entire failure.
In this connection I wish to make several
points very distinctly.
1. It is seven years since the corn was even
slightly injured in any way.
2.. •The injury done this year is not 'done
by drouth but by heat.
3. The injury done is in spots and streaks
and more' extensive in the West, while in
many localities large crops are being raised.
4. The heavy rain now falling (middle of
August,) and cooling the atmosphere vt ill
probably bring out the late corn.
5. The most favorable time yet to emi
grate to Kansas will be between now and
the first of next May. . '
A Tanztaut scene occurred ref clay at
the Paris Odeon. An •actor on uie stage
had to fire a pistol ; some ;villain must have
put a bullet into the pistol, and the conse
quence was that when the shot was tired,
c the bullet shattered the leg of a ballet girl
standing behind' the scenes. The doctors
who were sent far ' declared the leg must be
amputated. Thhi drove the-poor girl, to de
spair. "Oh I" she cried again, "It is not
the pain that I am afraid of! But what is to
become of me,and my mother.?" All her
colleagues surrounded her, weeping; rand
trying to calm her,_but her buret forth
again and again. 'Finally,. the manager
hastened to her side, gave her a thousand
franc note, and told her that lie would give.
,her a benefit inlthe :course , of.a few days.
_Thisleassured ber a little, and :her, leg was
then amputated, while she convulsively
Clutched the banknote. The actor who had
fired : the shot- was almost as distracted as.
,the poor ballet girl. Be knelt weeping be
-side. her, and begged cher to forgive' bittt.
Such a scene bad never bFfore beeffivlt
-nestied at the'Odeon. The perforniaree was
at once Intert . tipted, the manager explaining
to the audience What lad happened.
