Leavenworth CITY.

We last week paid a visit TO the me-
tropolis Of Kansas. having business
there requiring our attention: and we
were indeed pleased TO see the evident
marks OF prosperity in Leavenworth.
Business men look as cheerful as could
be expected in this time Of depression
in tho various departments Of trade.
and all seemed to be looking confident
ly forward for "good time coming"
The vacant places cccasioned by the
recent destructive fires in that city, are
being rapidly rebuilt with much more
substantial struciures thaa were those
destroyed. From the corner of Main

This road is destined to do large
business. Il is we'll oficered and
managed with ability. The cars are
we'll finished. roomy and elegant. the
machinery good. and all the appoint
ments of the road such as speak in high
praise of its management. The officers
are disposed to liberalisy. and the con-
ductors-so far as We have met them
are gentlemen. Mr.. s. C. CUTLER, es-
pecially. is admirably suited to take
charge of train. He has a mind of
his own and in cases where others Nigh,
hesitate and fear to decide, he comes to
a conclusion with promptness. He will
make his marx.
Mr.. Burcb. Agent, is also gentle
man Of superior ability and will be
known in the future as leading rail-
road man. ssH
This road furnishes the travelling
public with the quickest passage from
Kansas to St. Louis that can be had.
1t connects with the North Missouri
road at Hudson.or by going through to
Hannibal, passengers have splendid
steamers TO make the short run from
that place to St. Louis. We advise all
who wish to go certainly. speedily and
surely from Kansas to the states or to
ST, Louis, to take this road.

The soil Of Kansas is exceedingl,
rich. and adapted to great variety o
crsps. AT present wheat has not sue
ceeded as well as could be desired; bu
it is owing TO the cultivation it has re-
ceived, quite as mucl, as to the nature
ofthe soil. To succeed with fall wheat
we think the seed should be plowed IL
and the ground rolled with n heavy rol
Ter. A crop thus put in. we feel con
tident would succeed under all ordinar,
circumstances. We hope our farme.s
who possibly can. will try the expert.
meni this fall. and see if it does moi
succeed well. Corn. in a favorable
season, can be grown with as much ease
as in any country. and will produc.
largely when il receives proper attcn.
tion, Oats and all spring sown grain.
will yield abaudanlly, we should think,
Melons. sweet potatoes and vegetables
Of all kinds can certainly be grown .c
great perfection in her soil.
Fruit has not yet been tested thor
Oughly, but there is no reason TO doub,
that it will sue .eed admirably: and We
hope every farmer who can get from one
hundred to FIVE Numbered trees. will
put them out this fall or next spring.
