THREE CHEERS FOR REEDS BoYs-PIETY AND
PArRiofIsx.-These two noble traits of character.
it may be said, blend in one. But conflict
arises when anything spurious assimilates to
one or other Of them. This was demonstrated
the other day. A squad of Captain Reeds men
were sent up to Marysville last week in search Of
Q honethief camp meeting, held under the
auspices of the Southern Methodists, was in
progress, and the salvation of souls earnestly
sought. Being Of q religious turn Of mind. the
boys attended upon the ministrstions of the
Word, and aided in the devotions of the hour.
But on this particular occasion the two qualities
offended inharmoniously." Aprayer was made
to the throne Of grace for every imaginable thing
except the President of the United States and the
Union armies. This was slight that the boys
could not overlook-their piety and patriotism
blended SO thoroughly that when one was out
ragged the other was also. Accordingly, they
stepped up to the pulpit, and requested the min
lister to repeat that praper, and to invoke partic
ularly the divine blessing upon the President
and the Union soldiers. He fatty refused TO do
it. Whereupon the boys gave him his choice
to do as requested, Or accompany them to Fort
Riley. Suffice it to say, he made an eloquent
and patriotic" prayer. After the exhibition Of
such spirit we doubt whether the boys enjoyed
the services.

T We had the pleasure last week of making
the acquaintance Of Mr.. JOHN c. Dunn, who is
connected with large freightlng company,
recently formed in Santa Fe. He is on his way
to Leavenworth from Santa Re, and came in by
the Smoky Hill Route. He has had q large ex-
perience in freighting, and has frequently trav-
eled over the old Santa Fe road, and pronounces
the new road the best for the freighters between
Leavenworth and Santa Fe by all means being
better supplied with grass, water, and fuel, and
nearer by many miles. He believes that the
cheapest and most expeditions way for Leaven'
worth to secure the immense trade Of New Mex
leo is by attracting it by way Of the Smoky Hill
River Those interested should improve Its
already many superior advantages over other
roads by bridging its streams with free bridges
grading its road bed, and adding to it all other
additions which art may suggest. The citizens
along this route from Salina to Leavenworth are
interested in bringing this great trade and travel
over it, and all should lend hand to the work
Every man would be benefited by it in per-
cepsible degree The thousands Of men and
animals engaged in this enormous transportation
across the plains leave an amount Of money IN
their way which can scarcely be estimated. The
supplies which they would demand make mar
ket for all the produce raised along the road.
As go natural a course Of things, in so long
travel, more or less of their stock would be con-
stantly giving out. which would have to be
replaced by fresh animals, and these OR farmers
would be called upon to supply. And in hun,
dred ways would our people receive benefit
from this travel if they secure it. This they can
do. All that is needed is action, energetic &C
ton, that looks forward only to the consumation
of the work Let every man take hold and add
his mite towards its accomplishment.
