Saturday July %, ls56. :
"Dr.a Sir; In pursuance of the plan heretofore
explained 10 you, have travelled the whole breadth
OF The State OF Iowa. seven days tedious journey
par.ly through country SO sparsey inhabited that we
had to sleep two nghts in our wagon. have at last
arrived at the frontier of Nebraska Territory. Here
get such information from various reliable sources As
rcnvincee that the whole northern line OF Kansas s
infested by bands OF marauders that we cannot en-
ter the Territory except by joining large armed
body Of euigrsns who force their way In, OF by
mounting fleet horse AID running the gauntlet over
100 miles Of country. hardly heve the time and pa
tierce for the first, and have not the bodily strength
for the second.
"Aher all allowance for exagyr ration 1t is beyond
doubt that robbery and MURDER rife on the frontier
ard that pc sceable unsrmed men cannot cross with
safety. The assertion that the L. ). troops have
driven out the MissOuraDs Is untrue. They have been
driven fon the southern potJn OF the Territory but
they upon the northern frontier by which Il IS
supposed Northern migrants will 60 IN, now that

following Is reliable;
They cro ssed the Missouri River at Nebraska City,
on Tuerdsy last, 800 in number, all told. They ad
vanced about twenty miles into Nebfaska. They
found tLat Mssoursns gathering in large bands
to oppose their progress, and they halted. they are,
almost without exception, hardy pioneers, who have
the real purpose earnest win 10 settle 10 karsas.
Among the u about leo from Wisconsin,, men, wo-
men ana children also, party OF Massachusetts

thought best, in order to keep themselves entirely
