.'lit Of 'For (UJOemocrd $Sentind. MiESSB. White & Dctuji: X wish through Jrour TaluaV-e. paper, to give my numerous friends"; a sliort but honest account of my travel to and of . this mucb-talked-of land of promise- Kan&as territory. And in. the first place, I mmt. oonfcas that when I left my old home, I left with my spirits considerably depressed, from various conaidetations but I bad said 1 would 'b,and go I did. And here I am, fully and fairly, prepared to confess that I have suffered myself to be hum bugged; hoping thatimay be of some use toothers under like circumstances. J : , We tool: passage at Pittsburgh in the. new and elegantly finished and furnished steamboat Chi cago," for St. Louis, Capt. Martin Mellinger; and I must say that a more respectable, and- gentle manly crew, from the Capt. down, is hard to find anywhere. . We had a long passage, but in lieu of that, we had first rate accommodations and ex eel!ent health all the way to St. Louis, but the balance of the trip I will ray nothing about. l , . .t -A 1 1 1 tl oumce it to say in&i we lauaeu a. uiasguw vuy, "250 miles up the Missouri river, rented a bouse, and are all alive and enjoying ourselves as best we can. Evan D. Evans and I hastened on to the promised land" still believing ourselves fully able to.J? go up and possess, it." We arrived at Kansas jCity, a small. town on the Missouri river a smart business place) and two miles below the month of Kansas or Kawrivor. . Hore we found our old friends, W.-'Lloyd, &hard Evaoa, nl ' .a few others ct the Penn'a party, and' from them learned the fate df a -goodly number Of the Penn'a party, a large majority of which bad either return ed to their old bomea or sought one elsewhere Drs. Hammond & Gante had turned right-about and left Sandy is still here, making his beat licks and many others would return only that they bad not., enough of what is sometimes caTled "the "ready John", to do so. Three New Yorkers left while we" we re there, cursing Kansas and all things connected with that humbug. From this point we started for the Territory by way of Westport, a small , town, on the border of Mo., but a great place of business and trade with the Indians, pay Ing $1 for our passage a distance of 60 miles, with the privilege of walking and pushing at the wagon -up all the hills ; and, Tor fear you may think they are small hills, I ' will here say that in crossing nearly all those -streams it u about like going down the EDI' at 'Johnstown, and rttp.'its mate on the -other i do. In going through ihe Shawnee r'eser've; we pass the M. E. Church, (south) Baptist, and. Quaker missions, all in a high6tate of cultivation, especially the M.E., (south) ; and then taking the lower California road 20 miles further on, we passed the M. E. Church (north) mission, together wjth a great many Indian farms in a high state of cul tivation ; "Obo,- a goodly number in a low state. crossed- aver and passed in sight of a great deal "of excellent prairie broken in various places with little ravines, and the limestone showing itself in all the bluffs. We crossed Deer, Cedar, Mill, Gill, and other creeks, and little and Big Wakarusa rivers, all of which we passed over as did the Children of Israel the Red sea, dry shod, there not baing water.running in any except the-j liig Wakarusa, which had about as. much as the East spring in Ebensburg. Near this last stream we slept one. nih$ with an Indjan named". Blue- . jacket, who., lives like, the whites, and gave us. gocdr accommodations. . This tribe (Sbawnees) nearly all live and dres3.as the whites and are civ ilized and some of them, christianized. 'Xvno miles above 'the Wakarusa the Squatter setflement com mences; -and for 3 or 4 miles from the rivers are all dotted over with very small log cabins, and on tho first rise of prairie is the town of Franklin, having two houses and a store in its bound ries. Four miles further on and on the bank of the Kaw river, is located the city of Lawrence, or Yankee town, as it is called by some, At being inhabited principally by the emigrants "from Massachusetts, and a few from Pennsylvania and New . York. Here there are three printing presses to be located the editors, hands, and presses, are all on the ground, one of which is George Brown, lEsq., for merly of Conneautville, Crawford totuity. Fa., a -gentleman of character and high attainments. The others I did mot make an acquaintance with. lr. Brown is now erecting an office. Here we anet jpur old friend, Chalmers Roberts, in' good V 1.1. 2A iJ IT.' Tlrr-H fnrmorlv nf Washington City.- This town is said to have a : population of -150, -having about 40 buildings, one half of which are built of pales, prairie-grass -and mud, or rather sods, and built after the fash ion of a. teat ; some of the others are of ihn same form and weather-boarded with clap-boards, and the balance are small loj cabins. The church is of (he first class, of large dimensions, being about 45 -feet long, and sodded, about half way up the end ii the window, and the glass muslin. It is a - Union, 'church, and -used akernatclv bv I the Christian tfnd United. Brethren denominations ' the pastor of the latter is my old friend, the Rev. Mr. Snyder, late of Blair county, !Pa. This church is also used as a public (Seeping place, and thanks to Messrs. Brown, Barrett and Roberts, we fared well, they sharing theirs with us ; we had a com fortable snooze. The eating bouses are the same as the -church, and about the same size. -Seme of these inhabitants have been here since August last, but for want of better material, were forced to build as best they could : but for the future it will be better, as the "Aid Society has a steam saw mill (upright saw) in operation and is selling lumber for 420 per 1000. . There is' an abundance of clay for brick, but the wood is too scare to burn them, and as to coal for that purpose it is - out ol the question as yet.' The greatest vein that I heard of w only 20 inches deep, and. the KW.jon.jr uiuy ij and 2. . Ai aiong we Kansas river, ud as far as Fort Riley, there are towns and cities laid out at from tip 10 mile apart, and all of them expect to be the capital of. the StaU : at least all but one must be disappointed.

By this time I .fancy some of my readers are anxious .to hear where Council City is located, and "wtVi . like.' and vhatYts prospects are. Well, the tlKb ip, it s bo where on'all the face of the earth. Stated that it wa8 located Council Grave.' Bat that was not a fact. Couneil Grove still belongs to arid is in possession of the Indians. I was informed by those who bad a perfect right to know that when the Pennsylvania party arrived at Kansas Gty they burst asunder and separated, a part going with Mr. Brown to .Lawrence City, and a part followed Mr. Stebbeus and Mr. Albright into the wudcrtfess of prairie ; they took the Santa Fe road. traveled and tented, till they all became weary,' and arriving at a small stream called Switzel creek, they called a bait, and, turning themselves around once or twice, looked wise', and exclaimed Tn ' a loud voicej " we. have found it!" and tbey called the new-born city Eureka. "Whetlfer they used water on it before they named it- t did not team. It was .born on the 15th day of November, A. D. 1854, 85 miles west of Kansas City. : The surveyor was ordered to lay out said city in such proportions as would suit all those directly interested. He -did .take a rope and ran the boundary lines at 2 miles square, and thinking that sufficient, closed for the present. Others stepped off their claims for farms and next day all left and took the back track, "except two nien and their families, formerly of Plum Creek, Indiana county, Ta..f who are still on the ground. I was told that they all had the horrors, and that some only got relief in an overflow of water from their eyes! ... .i Now, of -course, I bare not seen the whole Ter-.. ritory with my own eyes, but I have got : reliable information from those who did; and all agree as to. the scarcity of timber, water,-and coal, ': .1. am forced to the conclusion that this Territory Is. not the place for the poor man to come at least for the present. All the best, and is fact the only well timber sd land in the Territory (this is admit ted by all) is yet owned by the Indians, and par ticularly the Delawares, they having treated with the U. S., reserving a strip on the north side of Kansas river, 10 or 12 by 40 miles ;'and this, as soon as it is surveyed, is to be sold to the highest bidder, and the proceeds paid over to the Indians. Some say it will bring $20 per acre. The Wyan dots.a small tribe, have a reserve of 6 miles square in the fork of Kaw and Missouri rivers, and have the best place for a town or city in the Territory. They are about to Tendance their nationality and become citizensand if they accomplish it,, they will immediately lay off a town -and sell lots. They are intelligent and pretty well educated, and talk good english. The Shawn ces have a re serve immediately on the south side of Kaw river 25 by SO miles,, the U. S. to pay them $100,000 a year for 8 year::, and as sot.n as possible the U. S.4is to survey off 200 acres (of the Shawnees' own choosing) 5r each of said tribe which nunv bcrs about 800, which they can sell, or remain on as they choose ;and they, of coite, w3 choose their own improvements. Then there .are about 500 of this tribe wandering in the southern part of the Indian Territory, which the U. S. are to survey off in one body 160 acres for each Or them which they can occupy at any time within five years, and it not, the u. fe. is to tell it and pay the proceeds over -to the Indians. ("Indian no fool this time.") So you see the balance of this reserve that will open for the settler will be in small lots, and among the Indians, and nearly all without any timber on it, or in reach of it. Of the many thousand emigrants that it was said went into the Territory, the greatest part of them have ith'e returned or gone into other places, for there are not om O or TOO uabtHcto tror -w, not withstanding there were near 8000 votes polled at the late election. As to the iron or lead ore, I can only say I have not seen any, nor found any man who did. As to the soil, it is no doubt, generally, very good, and adapted to the raising of almost any thing, except cotton. The climate is good, the purest I have ever anown ; but tney say it is very cold some winters, but never lasts longer than six weeks, but still a very changeable climate. As to its future destiny I will only say that from all I can gather, I think there are five in favor of it being a slave state to one for it being a free state. So I think there will be better chanses in two or three years after this to buy land than there are now, as a great many will not have the means to bold or pay for thek claims wbon ft cones into market. . Now, I have only to -say,' that in my humble opinion, this Kansas Territory, this " Land, of Promise,'.' has been entirely overrated, and must have been wilfully; deliberately, and grossly mis represented, to the injury of all, and to the de struction of many a poor mm. In conclusion, let me say to afl tvho are in search of a home, stop and " take tie friendly warning before you travel any further "in the wilderness of Kansas Humbug. But if you mtut see the ele phant, leave your family at hdtne, and come and sec for yourself.
