Perhaps you may not think that is very
astonishing fact; but if 50. it is because
you s.know nothisg'' of the horrid state Of
the roads leading from this town out into
the Territory. And when once you get
fairly into the city II is still worse. Sound
ings are of no consequence. Since the last
rain, bottom has not been found. What
ever may be alleged in regard to the border
ruffian proclivities of Kansas City, certain
it is that in rainy weather it is intensely
Free Soz
Considerable anxiety exists here in re-
gard to the probable course of the bulk OF
the Pixies PeaE emigration. Present indi-
cations are that great portion of the emf
grafton from the Eastern States will pass
over the Hannibal & st. Joseph Railroad to
St. Joseph, and from there proceed on the
various routes to the mines. This is, of
course, very unpalatable to Kansas City
people who had been counting largely upon
the Quitting of this emigration. Measures
have now been taken which, it is hoped will
turn the tide in this direction. Business is
quite brisk, considering the almost impass-
able state Of the roads. Merchants are gen
orally preparing for heavy spring trade.
of which they viii probably give you ''of-
fcial' notice in due season.
This city has two good representatives of
its material interests in the Journal and Ne
tr0politan neWspapers-the former daily and
weekly-the latter weekly. The AetropOl-
itdn was intended to represent the cause OF
Free Labor in Western Missouri; but from
some reason or other, has not yet planted
itself fai ly upon any platform. It oppo-
ses Democracy-wishes it destroyed. But
what it would substitute does not yet ap-
pear. The editor, Mr.. Bates, is young
man of talent, education, and property
some of the latter represented by slaves
He is right in sentiment-really holds to
the Frank Blair view of the slavery ques-
tion-but he lacks the nerve to make the
Metropolitan to the West what the Missouri
Democrat is to the East He has chance
before him for Immortality such as occurs
in the lives of but few men. 1t will, how
ever, be thrown away. The journal is a
sprightly, go-ahead paper. with pro slavery
leanings, but very mann on political ques
tons. A reliable neacs paper, it receives &
good support.

with regard to the route must have been

being better prepared for the extreme hard

them who will winter in this part of Kan

the cash at all times year, at the highest
