June Gath, 1868.
Leavenworth is q pleas
ant town, but the greater part Of the
buildings are poor affairs. as in all
new towns. A great many good build
ings are going up now. and the town
will be much improved during the
present season. The population is
$4,000 and / should think it was
two-fifths runaway negroes from Mis-
souri, and other States; two-fifths In
dians. Mexicans and Southerners. The
remainder look like white folks.n
/ never saw such town for excite
ment. There is the military at the
Fort the soldiery are cavalry and
infantry, and one regiment Of negroes
and Indians. Gen. Blunt left for Fort
Scott day or two since, aud we have
had less display Of body guard .
since then. There are also two thea
tres. and thousands of whiskey sa-
looms. livery stables and dogs all of
which make day and night hideous.
l suppose l notice the noise more,
having lived in a quiet town SO long.
In coming here, passed over the
Hannibal and ST. Joseph railroad, aud
saw the towns where the Iowa boys
had their first fights during the sum-
mer Of 1861. The Provost Marshal
compels the people to keep the Union
Flag on the hotels and other public
places in the secesh towns, aud the
Missourians consider il great dcs.
potism of the Lincoln administrati tion.
! saw the Seminary at Macon City,
where the Sd Iowa boys were besieg-
ed and. ! believe. where Zibe jackson
laughed to see the pieces Of men
and horses flying in the air."
The country on the line Of the rail-
road 10 splendid in some places, and
were it inhabited by Northern people
it would be beautiful. Farms there
can be bought cheap now the Mig
gers have oil run of. and Massa 10
too lazy to do snything but drink "sod-
coru," chew native tobacco, aud
"cuss tho abolitionists. aud, If he
has . good opportunity. cut down .
telegraph pole.
You can have little idea of the dir
ty, tumble-down appearance of q Mis-.
souri, plantation The railroad bridg-
es are protected by block-houses and
troops. The soldiers have cut away
the brush 90 that the bushwhackers
can be seen before they get on the
track. and the railroad has not suffered
much Of late. The people are very
sour and sore-headed, and kindly Offer
to shoot Northern men when they get
into political discussion with them.
| OF course this occurs frequently, -
