ABILENE is beautifully situated on Q small
stream Of clear running water, one mile north
Of the Smoky Hill River. near the geographical
centre of Dickinson county, and on the great
thoroughfare from the Missouri River to the
Gold Regions, New Mexico, and California. 1t
is the only town between Junction City and
Salina, and is located midway-being twenty
five miles from each. The country around
ABILENE is the most fertile and beautiful that
can be found in the State-its character being
an intermixture Of timber and prairie, pecu-
harly adapted to agricultural purposes. The
fertility Of the soil, the excellence of the water,
the healthfulness of the location, and the abur-
dance of timber and building stone, are induce
merits of no ordinary character; while in
addition, the rich mineral resources of this
portion Of the State, The Salt Springs. and
extensive Coal Fields west Of US on the Smoky
Hill, insuring the early completion of q Rail
Road from the Missouri River, makes it one of
the best natural business points in the State.
The town was laid out six months ago, since
which time over one hundred lots have been
sold, and it now contains q store, blacksmith
shop hotel, Post Office, and several families.

for her kindness he imprinted upon her
cheek friendly kiss, remarking that it
was customary in Ohio upon receiving
a kindness from lady, to thank her
with kiss. thereby testifying in an un-
mistakable manner his high apprecia-
ton of the kindness bestowed. A few

DEAR JOURNAL: The dead calm which
has hung over military affairs in this
section, was somewhat ruff1ed and dis
turbed yesterday bv reports of re-
verse to our arms at Summerviiie. The
facts, as near as can gather them, are
these:-Two companies of the 9th Va,
under command of Lieut.. Col. Starr,
stationed at Summervile, were sur
prised yesterday morning before day
light. by rebel cavalry numbering about
200. and captured 11O of our men. in
cluding 1t. Col. Starr and all the Off
GERS except two. The LIST and I'd Lieuts.
of Co. F, together with 90 men, sue
ceeded in making their escape and ar
rived at Gauley yesterday evening. The
rebels burned 8 houses, destroyed COM
missary stores, wagons, &C.. taking
with them all our horses and mules
This regiment seems fated to be taken
by surprise. They lost heavily in men
at Guyandotte last fall. and now they
are again taken by surprise and two
companies captured. Nobody to blame.
When will the rebels learn to give us
warning of their approach, so we can
be prepared. We need day or tWo's
notice. -
WHAT IS TIRE PRosPEcT2 b.,
= VIII we be driven out OF the Kama
wha Valleys is question that more
than one is revolving in their minds
The bitter, unrelenting secesh have late
ly become jubhant, and many Of them
publicly say that the Yankees will have
to "skedaddle" out of this before long,
and couple the name Of Stonewall Jack
son with such an event. That the reb-
els may possibly make dash, similar
to the Sammerville affair, upon weak
point here and there, 1 win not gainsay.
but they cannot refake the VALLEY. They
cannot subsist an army in this country,
and 1t is too far away from the railroad
for them to transport subsistence. What
If our forces should be compelled to fall
back to Gauley, it only renders us the
stronger, for one regiment can hold
Gauley against Eve rebel regiments.
Morgan in his late raid had the rich
est portion of Kentucky to subsist up
on. Here an army could not live
week If they depended exclusively upon
the country to subsist them. Again, if
the rebels came into the Valley it would
be the greatest negligence on our part
if they got away. A few men could
cut them of beyond all possibility Of
escape. Only one thing viii give sue
cess to rebel expedition in the Kama
wha Valley, and that is a brilliant vic
tory of their army in front of Richmond.
