Letter From Missouri.
MaryviLLE, Nodaway County., Mos
Sept. 6th 1870.
Mr. Kurtz— Dear Sir :—In glancing
over the: columps of the REPORTER,
which, by the way, is a weekly visitor
here, I see an Illinois letter, in which
the writer draws a fine picture of their
country east of the Father of Waters,
which, by the way, is a true picture,
but then ould not the readers of the
REPORTER like to hear from the west
of the Mississippi river, where not
many years since the Indian and buf-
falo roamed over the broad prairie at
will, and such a thing as civilization
was not known. But what a different
scene now meets the eye of the travel
er as he passes through the country in
search of a home ; on every side he sees
the marks of progress and civilization
springing up as if by magic, and to
prove this, one may look over the
prairie which is sufficient proof. On
every hand you can see the settler’
small cabin nestled neatly on the
prairie, and the smoke from the hearth
ieside curling heavenward with the
merry voices of children. All these
contribute to make the prairie home
happy. Of course there are a great
many difficulties to surmount here at
first on account of the newness of the
country, and especially is this the ease |
with the emigrant from the east for the
very reason that they have been ae-
customed to plenty of everything; but
here they will find that the country is
ton.new vet to have all the luxuries of
life. Idonot say this to discourage
any one who may contemplate coming
west, not at all. I sav to such, come
on, there is room for thousands; the
west extends to the immigrants her
arms of welcome to help to convert
those beautiful prairies into the garden
gpot of the world. Look at some of
the states west of the Mississippi river,
A few years ago they were but very
thinly populated, and now they have
already overtaken some of the eastern
states, Compare the agricultueal re-
ports of the western states to those of
the easliern states and you will find that
the west is in advance according to
the population, and the agricultural
resources of the west are as yet in the
infancy of their ‘developements. Are
not then the future prospects of the
west indeed bewildering to contemplate,
It will not be long until the snort of
the iron horse will reach the most re-
mote parts of our country; already
railroads are running in almost every
direction, showing that the people of
the west are fully awake to their best
interests. Will then the people of the
east stand back and look idly on and
see what a few enterprising people can
do when there is such an inviting field
presented to them, wherein they could
reap such rich rewards. As I have
already occupied too much space in
your columns I will close by saying
that if this letter is accepted I will
write another at some future time, de-
scribing our town and county, and the
appearance of the country.
Very respectfully, E.G.

Alluding to the present state of af-
fairs in France the World says:
The whole aspect of this wonderful,
this terribly destructive war has sud-
denly changed, as if by the stroke of
an enchanter’s wand. Hitherto, it has
been a war against the French empire ;
if it i8 continued it will be a war
against the French people, prosecuted
to interrupt and disable them in erect.
ing the glorious edifice of freedom. The
fall of Napoleon is their opportunity,
and unless they are thwarted by Prus-
gia their triumph, Even if Prussia
chooses to ae further war upon
them, they have no refison to despair.
Perhaps it is in the order of Providence
that the French republic shall be con-
solidated by a united effort to expel
the invader by a struggle which will
cement the new institutions with a ui.
versal and all-diffusive patriotism, and
bind them together, in their incipient
weakness, by unanimous resistance to
a great danger But if the war is to
go on, the Sympathy of the American
people will no longer be on the side of
russia. No American regrets that
Prussia has humbled and dethroned
Napoleon ; but if she throttles the in-
fant republic and attempts to strangle
it in its cradle, she must look for sym-
pathy to some other quarter of the
world than the free republic of Amer-
ea.

A FIENDISH OUTRAGE.
No Arrest of the Villains.
The Mifflinburg Tellegraph says:
On Monday afternoon, the 12th inst.
about the hour of 2 o'clock, one of the
most fiendish outrages ever committed
in this region, was perpetrated in
Limestone township, near the resi.
dence of Mr. Jocob Swartzlander.
The circumstances, as we glem them
from reliable authority, are as follows.
The victim, Miss Mary Walter, a re«
spectab'e young woman, in the employ
of Dr. Pontius, in Buffalo Township,
had an engagement with a relative in
Limestone Township, several ; miles
distant, to accompany the family to
the Campmeeting near Middleburg.
While on the way, on foot and alone,
in the woods on Limestone Ridge, two
villainous young fiends assaulted her
with pistol and dirk, demanding her
money. On being. told she had pone
they dragged their victim into the
woods, holding a pistol to her head
and threatening that any alarm would
cost her her life. They then brutally
tore her clothes from her and botit
violated her person, the one holding
the knife and pistol while the other
gratified his fiendish propensity. The
approach of a dog put the villains to
flight and the women returned to Dr.
Poutius’ in an exhausted and almost
frantic condition.
No one was near and before pursuit
could be made the brutes made good
their escape. The clothing, all torn
into shreds, was found suspended to
trees and the stockings and bonnet
were concealed near by where the out-
rage was committed.

Jolin French, son of Goines Foo!
Esq., of this town, passed from this life,
after un illuess of more thaw two’

learned then from intimate friends of
the decegsed. are about as follows; For
two or three years past it has bees fio

views upon various subjects,” and es
pecially upon religion aud his future

works on theoretical religion in the
trancendental style, too many of which
are to found in the libraries of persons
who are not aware of the tendency of

To such an extent did he become ab-

that his brain gave way, and reason,

only be accomplished after he bad fas-

feat he Vn nearly two months ago,
and actually finished two wezks since.
Every effort made during the time to

entire freedom of action, and walks or
