BRANDESBURG, KY, June 7th, '58.
CIV. BRowN-DEAR SIR:-Yours of
the It'll May last, came to hand some
time since, and l have been in court al
most every day since, for which reason I
have not answered it sooner. You say,
some good friend of yours mine
desires to indoetrinate you [me1 with lib
eral sentiments, and has advanced 81 for
your fmy] benefit" and you say you trust
Twill read it. Now permit me to say,
FIST no "good" friend of mine ought to
have so used my name without my con-
sent, and my consent never could have
been obtained for such use. End. God
forbid should ever be "indoctrinated"
with such liberal" sentiments as your
paper advocates-that man is forbid and
denied the right to go where he pleases
With his property. This is liberality with
a witness. Please say to my "good
friend" whoever he be, to give you some
direction to send it to another, and not to
me any longer, for beg you and him not
to ssnd me another number of it. Send
it somewhere else, for I do not want, if
can keep my eye-sight, ever to see an
other newspaper that has freedom ii con-
nection with negro slavery in it. This
everlasting slang about it, is becoming
unbearable; and l desire every one-and
this course I will steadily pursue-to let
those alone who don't want it, and wish
him or them to do the same. Please
stop it. Yours truly, &c.
JNO. C. WALKER.
Mr.. WALKER had previously written US
to stop his paper, but we could not do so
in justice to the gentleman who paid for
it Since then it has been directed to
another, through the order of that friend;
hence Mr.. WIS dreams will not be dis
turbed farther with fleeing bondmen, in
duced to seek refuge from slavery in the
figid North because of words found in
the Herald of Freedom.
Mr.. W. is an acknowledged Pro-Slavery
man. He does not like our paper because
1t forbids the right to go where one
Pleases" with his property. MIR. w. has
certainly misunderstood US, and this is
why we wish him to read one more num-
Der Of the paper. He may take his prop.
Ttg to the moon for ought we care, and
never word of complaint shall be made
BY us. We take the broad position that
man cannot hold property in MAN. Be-
cause one person has the power to exact
toll and sweat from another, it does moi
follow that he has property in that per-
son. BY property, is understood the ex-
elusive right of possessing, enjoying, and
disposing of thing. We deny that one
man has this "right" over another
Heaven has conferred no such patent upor
any person, and we expect to publish tina
opinion several times yet, Mr.. W. to thu
ontrary, Notwithstanding. Property may
Foe acquired in the moon or fixed stars
with just as much propriety as in man.

o. A terrible food has visited the
whole valley of the Mississippi and Ohio
rivers, doing immense damage to life and
property. Cairo, situated near the juno
ton of the two rivers, is about wholly des-
troyed, and the suffering is very great in
consequence. Our Eastern exchanges are

JUNCTION CRY, <. T., May 80. '5s.

JUkcflOh CtTf, d. l., may ~, 90,
G. W. BRowE-DEAR SIR
Junction City is situated just two miles
above Fort Riley, between the confluence
of the Smoky Hill and Republican rivers,
and at the termination of the Kansas. It
is said to be in the exact center of the
North American Continent. The site is
a beautiful one, commanding an extensive
view of both valleys, Fort Riley, and all
the surrounding country for miles.
The place was first selected by the
Manhattan Company, and they had a
steamboat loaded at Cincinnati for this
town; butowing to the lowstage ofthe water
at that time, the boat was unable to get
up this far, and the company concluded
to locate where Manhattan now is. After
the abandonment of the town by this
company, it was taken up by company
of spectators from Cincinnati,-Cap
WILLARD the moving spirit; the town
was then called Millard. An agent was
sent out from Cincinnati who remained a
month or two, and then returned to Gin
cinnati. In the meantime, Willard opened
an extensive agency in Cincinnati for the
sale of lots, and it is reported, on un-
doubted authority, that he and his asso-
ciates. in the course of a few months, sold
lots to the amount of hundred thou
sand dollars. After the agent had been
absent about twelve months, and no one
living upon the site, we then commenced
to lay off new town on the same old site,
but the company were advised of our
intention by some of their friends, and
came out before we had begun actual ope-
rations. After finding no danger, as they
supposed, they again returned, without
doing anything farther to the town. We
waited for ten or twelve months, the site
lay unoccupied, and, last fall, we con-
cluded to begin in earnest. We have
some thirty houses erected and in course
of erection, an excellent store in opera
ton, good and handsome saloon, one
boarding house, and another commenced
building, wagon. maker shop, and q
blacksmith shop. We have bought the
press and types for newspaper, and have
them now in the town. We will issue
the first number some time in June; it il
to be called the Junction Sentinel. Terms
So per annum.
Mr.. D. A. Butterfeld, Of Manhattan
has purchased steam saw mill, has il
now in town, and is being put up as rap
idly as possible. In connection with the
saw mill, he will have grist, single and
lath mill.
The admirable natural location of unc
ton City, and its proximity to Fort Riley
in my opinion, will make it the larges
rplace above the mouth of the Kansas.
Col. Geer and Capt. Millard, the forme
from Covington, KY, and the latter from
Cincinnati, wers recently out to see us
and tried hard to effect compromise, Blu
we told them We did not wish to assis
them in refunding the 100000 the.
received for the sale of lots, anC
that we had possession aud thought w
could build ourselves. They may con
test the title with us, but they have nj
chance.

son, Treasurer; and P. z. Taylor, Secre
tary; either Of whom will answer any let
ter of enquiry with pleasure.

evidence that the agriculturalists of Kan
