Correspondence ofthS Tribune.
TProN, CEDAR CO., Iowa, May 9th.
EDIToRs TFFM TRmUNE.-I noticed a
letter in the Tribune of Apr, Goth from
J. G. r. claiming to refte my statements
in relation to the state Of affairs in Iowa.
He appears TO feel that injustice has been
done. ] can assure your Readers, that
nothing II more foreign TO my thoughts,
than to do injustice 20 any one; much less
TO a state. But "facts are stubborn things;"
and it should be the aim Of the chronicler
faithfully TO record those facts.
Ivory much admire the Western part
otism manifested by the author Of that let
teri trust It may be sincere. We are
allowed to judge Of the devotion and love
Of a person, for any cause, or for a state,
by his works. "If ye love me, ye will
serve me-"
/ had supposed that "The Iowa Land
Sharks" would employ some old settler
(fictitious) to reply TO my plain statement
OF facts, If they should regard them as
calculated to interfere with their businessi
but did not think that the responsibility
would be assumed by mere "Land A.
gent"

MARYsvILLE, X, T. April 30, 1859,
Eps. Misunderstanding to promise,
I will give you very brief account of my
trip thus far towards the land Of Gold
The town Of Murysville Ia situated on
the banks Of the Big Blue river, about
equi-distant from ST, Joseph and Ft. Kar-
ney, and is the most important town be-
tween those points,-lt has two stores,
one tavern, one lawyers and one physi-
clans Office, aud about a dozen dwellings,
oil Of the Tudest description; but II is a
beautiful site for city and, presume, ere
long, il will assume considerable import
anoe. Lots are freely offered to any one,
who will build on them. Tho Big Blue
river is a beautiful stream, about the size
Of tho SRnduslty, but deeper. We loit St
Joseph one week ago this day, and have
travelled one hundred and forty miles, over
the most delightful country, the vision Of
mortal man ever saw, or the Imagination
ever pictured.
The face Of the country presents con-
tinual succession ofundulations, the slopes
of every imaginable form, and one thinks
that each succeeding one is more beauti-
full than the last. The only thing that
could improve il would be more timber, for
the soil is as good as the country is beau
tiful. Talk about Kansas being a Slave
State for one cannot believe that an
allwise God ever will suffer such ooun-
try to be cursed with Slavery.
We have passed ali Of the Tifhn Boys
some at Belmont and some at Cedar Creek

IT'S not distance that lends enchahtment
to the view in this case, for the farther we
proceed, the more encouraging the reports
are. East Of the Mississippi, we were told
that there were as many returning dis
heartened, as there were going, but now
we have been one whole week on the
plains and have not met D single individu.
al returning, unless | except two, who
we're coming after their families. dc
not wish 70 induce any one to take the trip
but will say, that If Pixies Peak is hum
bug, Il beats Barnum all out, for the road
are completely lined with immigrants from
every state in the Union, many Of whom
are men of substance at home.
! have not time 10 give you any geolog
ical information OF the country now, and
as 10 the botanical productions, II is too
early in the season, Tor not a flower hal
yet shown itselfto my visual organs.
The grass has not started much, and
any more intend to start, tell them tha
the middle Of May will be early enough,
they depend upon grass for feed.
The weather is fine, and the roads or
the best in the world, and trip cut here
for no other purpose than TO see the coun
try, is worth the money that il will cost.
Respectfully Yours,

THE FREsExTAT1ox.

At length Edward was formally presen-
ted to the fair young Viola, and the hope
of the self-sacrifcing brother seemed on
the eve Of fulfllment, for she started when
she heard what she took to be the same
voice which, in such impassioned tones,
had addressed her in the gallery Of art, and
she raised her timid eyes to acknowledge
his salutation-recognizing as she believed
the handsome features and graceful figure
of the stranger. It was to her pleasant
surprise, and the delicate hue Of her cheek
deepened with emotion as her beaming
eyes were lifted again TO his with glad
yet bashful glance of silent recognition.
But before the interview terminated, she
experienced certain disappoint mentfrom
the manner and conversation of Edward.
She shrank from his brilliantrepartee, and
his gay laugh was a discord to her ear
The sweet seriousness, the calm and gem
tie dignity which marked the department
of William, had during their brief and ST.
lent meetings deeply impressed her, and
gave indication Of character perfectly
opposed to that manifested by him who
being in exterior his counterpart, she
thought the same, When, therefore, she
was told by her father that she must look
upon the young Edward as her afianced
husband, she was conscious that her heart
did not warm toward him, and she marvel
led at It's coldness, when once II hat
throbbed almost 10 bursting, If she but
marked the shadow Of his figure thrown
across the floor Of the art gallery. Th'

FAMILY INTERVIEW.

FAMILY 1NTERvGEw.
Leaving the art gallery, he mounted his
steed and hastened home. There he found
the stately apartment Of his fathers house
thronged with the gay and beautiful, but
his heart, now filled with new emo
tions, longed for solitude, and stealing ere
long from the oppressive gOyety and splen-
dor to the cool and fragrant garden, here
clined his body upon a tuft of grass beside
one of the avenues leading toward ia
vorite bower. But not long had he occu-
pied his chosen retreat, when approaching
voices disturbed bis pleasant meditations.
The speakers paused at the end of the bow
or, where a seat was placed on which they
sat down, to continue their DISCOURSE
The moon was pouring forth her bright
rays, in all the lcveliness Of her majestic
splendor, and the young lover soon recog.
nized the voice Of his father and Mr. More
land. They were SO near that every word
they uttered fell with terrible distinctness
on his ear almost parOlyzing the very
functions Of life.
Edwards unionwith Violawas the theme
which the wretched lover was doomed "a
hear discussed. The contract formed in
the infancy of the parties, and now short.
ly to be ratified, the introduction soon tc
take place between the youthful pair, the
details Of their future establishmant.- Gns
lu vnort every circumstance connected
with the subject, were canvassed with I
torturing minuteness that, like poisonou
mildew, blighted forever the fair buds o
that sweat hone he had so fondly cherish
ed. Yet there he lay, his face buried il
his hands, chained by a strong facinatiol
to the spot where the dismal knell of hi
happiness had rung its fatal peal upon hi
heart. Long, long after the sound ofthos,
voices had passed away from the spot, h,
remained there, struggling for self-con
quest; nay, more, for that utter negatiol
of self, which could alone enable him 4
rejoice in his brothers Joy and happiness
And so his bright and beautiful dream
was ended. Although he felt that it wa
in his power to usurp the fortune in stort
for Edward, by winning Viola to himself
yet he felt that il was not for him to con
traveno the cherished plans of those VIII,
gave them life. He therefore resolved 70
his brothers sake to see her no more, an
strive even to Danish her image from hi
mind.
William, unlike his brother, had fron
boyhood cherished a prediction for a re
ligious Nfe, and this first disappointmen
Of the heart fixed his resolution to embrac
it. Perfectly aware of the similarity Q
person which existed between him and hi
brother, indeed so perfect that each wa
often mistaken for the other by their mos
familiar friends, William cherished a sc
cret and romantic hope that, when tn
destined lovers met, Viola might see j
Edward the cavalier Of the art gallery, an
wholly surrender him the heart, in whic
William could not forbear to believe thI
he had created the first interest.

THE PANoRANA-The Melodeon Hall was well
filed on Saturday afternoon by the children Of the
city schools and their parents and friends, who had
gathered to meet the orphans and to witness the
panorama of the Crimean War. The painting is a
really excellent one and delighted the audieLce.-
The orphan children who had been brought to the
Hall free of expense by Stevens 0mnibusses, were
ranged upon the stage and presented very pretty
foreground to the panorama Their neat uniforms
and their healthy and happy cOuntenances showed
the care taken of them in their home, and their
sweetly sung songs added not little to the pleas
ure of the lockers on and listeners. Such exhibi-
tions and glimpses of the outer and the great
world are bright spots in the lives OF these children
who are deprived of parents care, and the thanks,
not only of the managers of the Asylum, but of The
whole community, are due TO the ladies who have
labored for their benefit. Another exhibition will
be given this evening for the benefit OF the Asylum
Let all join in the purchase of tickets The orphans

SPECIAL WArcHMEN-In consequence of the
large number of fires which are undoubtedly the
work of incendiaries, many our citizens have en-
ployed private watchmen to guard their premises.
One Ofthese is also employed at the County Court
House. The attempt to fire this building few
nights since renders this necessary. A young man
has recently been in jail on suspicion of being an
sccOmplice of these .ncendiaries, who, it is sup
posed, is aware of all these fires. We hope sum
mary justice will be done to any who are found at
tempting to fire buildings. 1t is high time that o
warning was given to the diabolical villains.
