to the strangers the whole process of
constructing a locomotive engine. He

Letter from ,Nebraska.
By; Seich - v, (Nebraska,) t
June 4, 1866. "
--s Friend Cobb ~--liavint2 b en -request
edby- several ;different persons before
leavingihome, to write them some-ac-'
count of-Icy:bat I. should see in the far
west, I take thiS method of writing' to
all at once. The opportunities for writ
ing letters, possessed by-travelers over
these' vast plains, are meager enough, as
all know who have any experience of
this-kind of life. If therefore you find
..my epistle worthy of a place in the Ag
itator. each of my -friends will please
consider it addressed personally to him
self; and as for the general public, they
can read it or pass over it, as best- suits
their own convenience.
,• It was Saturday, the' 19th of May,
when I Started from Atchison-, Kansas,
for - Denver, and perhaps the regions be
yond. My outfit was simple enough—
.being only a wagon drawn by one yoke'
of oxen, and carrying, including provi
sions, something - less than WO pounds.
With this load our cattle, being splen
did fellows; are expected to "walk thro"
a hundred miles a week, without the
least inconvenience or injury to them-
Selves:, This expectation-thus far, how
ever, has not been realized,: for a good
and sufficient reason hereinafter to be
mentioned. We hope it_may be in the
'future. 'While upon the subject of "out

cothpanioli is a Presbyterian clergyman

Mr-Editor, is a great thing,;sometimes.

And never was there a darker storm -of

which met us a few hours later upon
one of the wide prairies of Kansas, and
gave us a thorough drenching, in spite
of wagon cover and buffalo robe. We

parently uninjured, and with spirits
and appetites rather augmented than
otherwise. The last week has been plea
sant, and free from rain untilthis morn
ing; when another shower struck- us, and
seems disposed - to abide with, us during
the day. We have consequently taken
refuge iu a "ranche2' and are improv
ing ttie_time writing letters.
The - rain with which northern Kan
sas is - visited at this time, though -not
peculiarly agreeable to travelers, :are a
Godsend to, the country. For seven
Mate,
the soil, in. a . large part of that
Btate, has not been thoroughly satura
ted with water. Every one knows, that
:Ittrtwo or three succesedve seasons, fam-
. _
hie and wide - spread suffering were the
result., There willbe no famine how
. ever thisyear. - Atleast so it seems now.
And if, as is extensively
,believed, the
years of drought and of sufficient rain
proceed in cyeles of sevens, at leant In
the West, We may expect six toore
" plenteous sears" after this, to bless
this beautiful laud, before another of the
lean kine approaches to eat out Its fat
neSs and till it with want. Farmers ex
pecting to seek a home in this region,
but not decided when to come, will
please take notice. )
Our road thus far running in a north
western direction from Atchison, we
have seen only a strip of the northern
part of Kansas, with a few miles on the
southern border of Nebraska. I speak
of what I have seen, to this point, which
is 147 miles from Atchison. And in re
gard to the country already passed over,
1. say, freely that I am unable to conceive
of a more beautiful region. It consists
chiefly of extensive prairies, higher and
more rolling by far than those of Mis
souri or Illinois, and as a general thing
prese.ntin,g a soil which seems quite equal
to any I have seen elsewhere., The one
drawback of the country, is it 4 want of
timber, which on the largest prairies
will afford a formidable barrier to set
tlement for years to come, until hedges
an be generally substituted for fences,
d settlers have time to raise their own
'rewood or dig into the vast coal fields
which are said to underlie the whole of
northern Kansas. On the numerous
streams however which intersect this
country, this trouble does not exist.—
Wood is to be found on all the creek and
river bottoms. In some places the for
ests are extensive. And everywhere on
these streams settlements are springing
up, and in many of them considerable
communities are being formed. And at
Vie present rate at which population is
lourilw into' tide State, it will not be
ong, before these valleys will all be oc
cupied. At present however there is
room tor very many more. It may not
be known that a considerable amount of
public land can still be bought at Con
gress prices, gr taken up under the
Homestead law, no farther west than
the - Big Blue,, which is a tributary of the
Kansas river, flowing south, at a dis
tance of about 100 mites west of Atchi
son. This is a fine stream, and its banks
will ere long be-crowded---with a busy
and intelligent population. Maryville,
the chief, town in northwestern Kansas,
is upon. its eastern bank, 104 miles from
Atchison, and already is putting on city
airs and cherishing "great expecta
tions."
It only remains to be said, that two
railroads, one from St. Joseph, Missouri,
and the other froin Atchison, are alrea
dy in 'process of construction through
northern Kansas, which are not only to
afford abundant facilities for transporta
tion to the region through which they
pass, but somewhere far in the west are
to join their iron hands to the Great
Union Pacific railroad, which is to con
nect-us all by and by with California.
But that is in the future,, For the pres
ent, and until another rainy day, good
bye. C. L.
Love in. a Cottage
- A cottage; poetically speaking, is a
small but picturesque domicile—em
bowered
in roses and " situated near a
wood"—adapted to the accommodation
of three individuals—a gentleman, his
Wife, and a little boy with a bow and
arrow and Wings: • Poesy assumes that
a bridegroom'wlao no revenue hath"
may live in a state of ecstatic bliss with
a dowerless bride, in such a residence.
Subsistence is a secondary considera
tion. Bread and cheese and kisses are
all-sufficient ; and, in the absence of the
grosser items, the epicurean •food last
mentioned is; of itself excellent love-in
a-cottage fare. What cares Cupid for
sates—sates with a C we mean, for kates
with a K are a different matter. He
laughs larders as well as locksmiths to
scorn. He feeds , on fancies, and like
his bilious brother Jealousy, grows by
what he feeds on. Such at least is the
sentimental notion of that spoony little
diYinity, as the guest of a •cottage ten
anted by a cashless pair.
But sober Prose—a bluff fellow, that
delights in throwing cold water on the
beautiful and tender—suggests that mo
neyless couples, who hope to retain love
as a permanent lodger, had -better look
to their windows, out of one of which,
if nothing for dinner comes ih •at the
door, he is apt to tly. Any one who has
seen a portrait of the boy Cupid, and
noted his chubbiness of outline, roust
knosv Of course that he is no chamele
on; to live on air. From a cottage, Where
there is nothing to eat, and more senti
ment than industry and energy, he is
pretty sure to make off at the first op
portunity in search of cozier quarters—
some shanty, perhaps, Where the vulgar
garden grows cabbages,
,and potatoes,
and the interior atmosphere has an ap
petizing haver of beef steak and onions.
There can be no doubt that " better is a
dinner of herbs where love is,_ than a
stalled ox and hatred therewith ;'• but
when it herbs and no ox the year
round, disgust it' not hatred will be very
likely to take love's place at the board.
Upon the whole, therefore, - substantial
and permanent ' wedded bliss' is hardly
to be hoped for. in a cottage where there
is.more play for the
. innlgination than
the teeth. I
An odd bit of dialogue occurs in a no
ivel now being phiAished in a French
paper. r• •
— ",Where is your husband?" asks a
gentleman. ,
" He went out to buy a cigar," replies
the,lady.

CONFEDEIT X ROADS, t
May 27, 1866.
To His Exlency the Dispenser Iry Post
Offices, Androo Johnson, President of
the United States:
In akordance with your esteemed
request, dated the 25th and received this '
morning, I too wunst proceeded to make
doo inquiry ez to the workin uv the
Freedmen's Bureau and the condishun
uv the Afrikan citizens uv Amerikan
descent in this vicinity. The fact that
a Ablishnist still holds the Post Office
at the Coners, (which plate, by the
wa-T, been solicited to accept,) in
terfered materially with the biznis I
had in hand. I towunst tooted the
horn, ez is the custom when we have
religious servis, and called my congre
pshun together. They kw= runnin in
trom the different groceries, and here
another difficulty ensooed. The grocery
keepers wanted to know what we wuz
agoin to hey meetin on wPsilt days for.
They wuz willin to shut up during me
tin time on Sundays ez they respected
the church, and it giv em time to swaep
out the terbacker, et settery, but they'
be d--c 1 if they wuz agoin to have the
people pulled away from their nourish
ment on weak days. I succeeded In
passifying em, and went in at once ex
hminin the leadin citizens. Their tes
timony is ez follows:
CAPTLN STrFT PER
Wuz a- nigger owner afore the war,
and durin the late fratrisidal struggle
wuz a captin in the confedrit servis.—
Wuz with Ginral Forest at Fort Pillow.
Hez had much experience with nigger's.
Bleeves them to be adapted to the cli
mit uv Kentucky, and much more able
to stand the hot sun than the whites.—
When they wuz slaves never knowd em
to refuse to work—know they alluz did
work, becauz he generally stood over
em with a nigger whip. Since they hey
been free hez notist a change; not much
uv a change, until the :Nigger Burow
wuz established. Before that they'd
take such. wages ez yoo chose to give em
—since then the d—d heathen will
stand out about as the white men do,
and wont work at all, unless yoo meet
their views, which made a heap uv
trouble and materially retarded the de.
velopment of the country. he Burow
had corrupted the female niggers, ez
they had all been legally married by the
chaplins to the men they'd lived with,
and wuz so sot on livin with em, that
there's no use uv your try in to get a
house wench unless you take her hus
band also. His wife wuz now doin de
gradin work at home for want uv help.
Strongly urged the abrogashun uv the
Burow and the removal uv the abolish
un postmaster at the Corners.
Wuz examind. Wuz convinst in his
own mind that the Afrikan was now
out uv his normal speer, and that the
infernal Burow was at the bottom Iry it.
The nigger, afore the Burow come a
round, was docile and easily controlled.
His boy Jo was Kunst a model nigger.
He'd get up every.niornin at four, and
work every day till after dark. Ez soon
ez he was emancipated, ez they called
it, and the Burow come, I told him to
get up one mornin, and he told me im
pudently he'd concluded he woodent.
I undertook to chastise him with a fence
stake, whereupon he sailed in and he
whaled me, and the Burow to which I
applied for redress laughed in my face.
Fie left, and is now dragging out a mis
erable existence in Ohio, on the beggar
ly pittance uv two dollars a day, and my
farm is runnin to weeds. He conclood
ed by giving it ez his solemn opinion
that he cood never be reconciled to the
Government so long as the Burow was
tolerated and that 4bolishnist held the
post office at the Corners.
Considered the Burow a incubas upon
the State. It interfered between master
and servant.coed git along better if
the nigger wu left to the natral laws
which reglates capital and labor. Tried
td keep his ni gers, and did keep em
the past sum er till after the crop wuz
in, and then tried to settle with em for
four dollars a month, with such deduc
tions for food, sickness and brakin tools,
et settery, ez was just. Brought the
niggers all uv em in my debt, and gen
erously proposed to let em work it out
choppin cord wood durin the winter.—
Hauled me up afore the Burow, and I
wuz forced to pay em each Sl5 a month.
Consider the Burow as all that stands
in the way uv reconstrucshun, though
the removal of the Abolishun Postmas
ter at the Corners and the appointment
uv a sound constitushunzd Dirnocrat
woold greatly assist in conciliatin the
Kentucky mind.
I tried io get some nigger testimony,
but cood elicit nothin worth while.—
One Digger who spends the heft uv his
time at the Corners, W l / 7 . opposed to the
Burow, because it stopped rashuna on
him, and Lucy, a octoroon, who former
ly belonged to and still resides with el
der Ga,vitt, (who is now absent as a del
egate to a Southern religious Conven
tion at Louisville,) testified that the Bu
row wuz " no great shakes," because be
ing ez the elder wuz a widower and the
father uv all her children, and bein she's
a free woman, she asked the agent to
make the elder marry her, and he wood
not do it. But sich evidence is irrele
avant, and I didn't consider it worth
while botherin your Eselency with it.
Both however strongly insisted on the
removal uv the Abclishun Postmaster
at the Corners.
Wuz convinst the Burow vtruz agin
the prosperity uv the State, and was un
derminin the moral and physikal wel
fare uv the nigger. It made him impu
dent. He'd sum uv em workin for him,
and noticed at noons and nites he'd find
em with a spellin book and a reader.—
Didn't bleeve in readin. Coodent read
himself, but he'd a cusin woost who
learned, but ez soon ez he could read he
moved off to Injeanny, quit the Dimoc
racy, and becum a loathsome Abolish
nist. Heerd he wuz killed in the war,
and served him rite. Wanted to know
what we'd do when the niggers could
all read. Spored we'd have to elect 'em
to otlice, ez the people alluz sleeted such
when they could tiud em. Didn't be
- • • '0 'nigger equality, and wuz in fa
vor uv ! ; a !mediate changein the Post
Office. at the Corners.
Captain McSlather that things had
come to a sweet old pass, when a man
couldn't lather a nigger without being
hauled up afore a Burow.
Kurnel Pelter thot if yur Eielency

more than he ought, perhaps, and he
