CAMP CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM THE LYON GUARDS.

I'VE make the following extract from letter
renee, April Sd. to which place the company
had just returned
AS | cannot late warlike news, perhaps
few lines about the country, may not be amiss
Having marched nearly the entire with OF
Kansas twice, and by different routes. and hav
ing often questioned the inhabitants concern
ing its climate, health and productiveness,
have no hesitation in pronouncing Eastern
Kansas the finest agricultural and grazing
country ever saw. There is in some places
a scarcity of wood, but this is generally COM
pensated for by vast coal deposits of easy ac-
cess. 1t Is also well adapted to frcit growing.
and should the war soon end. and Missouri be-
come a freq state, the future prosperity and
greatness of Kansas will be secure.
Lawrence, at present, is by no means pref
ty place. The streets are muddy, the build
ings display but little taste, and the general
aspect of the town is uninviting but worse
than all, its luxuries are beyond the reach of
us monniess soldiers.
L exceedingly regret 10 chronicle the death
of two more members Co A, Charles Deyar-
mond and Jacob Patterson. They were both
in the hospital at Weston. but the forme. ac-
companied us TO Leayenwoith, where relapse
occurring, he was again sent to the hospital,
which he never left alive. We had little hope
of again seeing Patterson when we left Wes-
ton, but afterwards heard that he was RAPIDLY
recovering. This morning we heard that one
night he was taken suddenly worse and died
before morning.
Capt. Mcleod having resigned, the COM
mand of the company now devolyes upon 1t
Maxson. who discharges its duties creditably
to himself and satisfactorily to the men. l
believe it is the unanimous wish of the COM
pany that he should fill the vacancy now ex-
listing.
