Of several hundred inhabitants. is trade is
in p ,osperous condition. It is truly aston
shing to see the great amount of goods in
this city. The merchants, some Of whom
we become acquainted with during our stay,
have, and are now exposing to sale such
lag, stocks OF new and cheap goods, as
would throw all the towns further west in the
shade. We do not guess at this, because
we examined for ourse'f. The Messrs. Loo
mis- e. Co, Kittred C & Merrill, the former
dry goods and grocery house, the latter
wholesale and retail grocery establishment,
have mammoth stocks on hand, which they
sell cheap. Mr.. LOOMS has more goods than
we expected to find in two or three stores
in Ottumwa. The Keokuk and Fl. Des
Moines railroad is in running order to Stump
town, twenty miles below Ottum va, on the
D.s Moines. The grading is done, and the
ties ready to complete the road to Ottumwa.
When this is done the trade of Ottumwa will
be increased for time at least. From this
city 10 Burlington the road is in good order.
We went through on the cars, and did not
have much cl'ance to observe as to the coun-
try or the crops, as the cars leave Ottu nwa
at 4:20, A. NJ. so part of the trip is made
before daylight. In our case, when daylight
came it was so foggy that we could see hut

Capt Richard T. Burton, the celebrated African
explorer. whose work on the "Lake Regions OF
"Central Africa" will soon appear 10 London is
at present travelling in the United States His
arrival, several weeks ago, seems to have been
entirely overlooked by our sharp eyed lion-hunters.
He was allowed to leave New-York before his
presence had been discovered by the members of
the American Geographical Society. After spend
ing fortnight in Minnesota and visiting Washing
ton he. returned to this city last week, but has
again left on an excursion southwark. He is
accompanied by DR.. Steinhauser.
Capt. Burton is one of the most intrepid and
successful explorers of the present century. 10
the wears 1854 he succeeded in reaching Mecca
and Medina, and witnessing all the sacred ceremo-
MES, in the disguise Of an afghan pilgrim. His
next undertaking was journey to the CITY OF
Harrar. living inland from the Somali coast. Here,
pbere no European would have been permitted to
enter he again succeeded, by travelling as an Arab
merchant. His last and most important journey
Yas to the great lake Ujiji, or Tanganylka, which
be and his companion, Capt. Spoke, were the first
white men TO visit. With the exception of Living

toward completing the map of Africa When

may be fitting recognition of his services on the
