Another failure of the publie-convey ances' to tnake their conneiions, detaina paisengers in this city, who ought to be insiOng progress,on flair journeys. These detensions may be a good thing for the Ho tels, but they d'etraet from public interests; But, as I am dutained, L will 'try ; to - turn the disappointment to a benefit. Leavenworth was the site of an old fort, used for defence against the Indians. As a city it :is quite new. In 1854, the ground on which it stands was covered with brush wood; now, there is a population of 15,000 industrious and enterprising citizens. Some of,the;buildings are very. fine. The stores are numerous. There •are some twelve , churohes ; two of theta being Old School Presbyterian,. served by Rev. J:0-. 'MAWR, and . Rev. Wm.A.

Wednesday night (18th) I passed AA Lawrence, and bled the opportunity of mil ting in worship with some of its pions pee pie. The meeting was' in 'the Methodist church. The Old Scheel and ,the New School Presbyterians have each an organi zation in Lawrence; but neither is numer ous, and "neither'haS. a c,htireh' ,edifiee. And the Old School people have, no pas tor. The organization, embraces between thirty and forty members, There arathree elders, who, with several of the priVate members, have sufficient love and zeal; 'Le keep up a Inlayer meeting.
