Letter from Fort Scott.
Fr. Scorr. Kansas. June 18.

T. SCOTT, -hauSaSS June 10S Oh.
DEAR News: On our trip from Empo-
ria to Leavenworth and down the Border,
on the Pacific stage line, we found every
thing quiet and prosperous. Leavenworth
City was as dry " as usual, and we found
great many of the citizens engaged in
their usual occupation of 81 wetting1ap.''
From Leavenworlh to Fort Scott, distance
of 100 miles down the Border, we found
the farmers all busily engaged in their ieids.
and saw but very few empty houses or uu.
cultivated fields. Crops look well, and there
has been an abundance Of rain in this rart
of the country. Contrary to our expecta.
tons we found the citizens along the line
living in apparent security, and not antici.
pating any raids from bushwhackers this
summer.
There are troops stationed at Olathe, Pa.
ola, West Point, Rockville, Little Santa Fe,
Aubrey, Kansas City, Humboldt and vi.
cinity, Fort Scott and vicinity, and con.
slant movement of troops up and down the
Border, showing that there is great dea
of energy manifested by the different com.
manders of posts and detachments to pre-
vent raids into Kansas.
We met Col. Plumb of the Eleventh al
Paola, who is actively engaged in running
down bushwhackers and Kidding the Bor
der of thieves and cut threats. The Colo
mel was serenaded by the Eleventh Kansas
band while at Paola, and responded by
short, appropriate speech. We find Igor
county we'll represented in the various
branches Of the service, in almost every
locality.
Fort Scott is city containing almos
twice the number of inhabitants that EN-
poria has. 1t is very poorly laid out, Blu
they do a vast am cunt of business here
owing, first, to its being a military post
second, it is on the great thorOughfare from
Leavenworth to Forts Smith and Gibson
and is used as an out-ftting post for all tina
southern country; third, it is situated in
beautiful country, well watered, timbered
and stone coal in abundance; and fourth
there is an energetic class of business m Ell
here, who are determined to make this
frst-class city of Kansas.
We found our friend D. B. Emm ert, o
the &c Monitor" at his post and look ing af
ter the interests of Southern Kansas. H,
is strongly in favor of a Southern Kansas
man for our next Governor, and thinks ~
could best be united on Hon. Geo. A
Crawford for that position.
We will start for Fort Smith with tran
and an escort of 800 men, in a week or so
1t is long, tedious trip, and if we are no
cut off by bushwhackers, you will heal
! from US again. MtRDoCK.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.

Since our last issue the war news has
been interesting. The Army of the Poto-
mac has made rapid strides. and attacked
the rebels at Petersburg. Grants plan
seems to be to drive the whole army into
Richmond and cut off their supplies via
Petersburg and L. nchburg.
Gen. Grant, as will be seen By the dis.
patches below. formed junction with But
Ter and made hasty strike for Petersburg,
Smith leading the way.
THE FIGHTING AT PErERsBURGH.
A dispatch dated headquarters June 10th,
6 P. M, gives the following account of the
fighting at Pitersburgh
Smiths command, which landed at Point
of Rocks Tuesday evening, advanced early
yesterday morning on City Point and Pc
tersbugh road, and finding the enemy near
Hamson's Creek, drove them into their for.
tiGcations some half mile beyound. A line
of battle was formed with Hinck's colored
division on the left; a charge was made
and the line of works was taken, with sixteen
guns, three hundred prisoners and several
battle flags. The position was one of grea
strength and should have resisted an attacl
from a much larger force. The eolored
troops are reported as having behaved ad
mirably, taking their part of the enemy's
| line at the same time the others did. Our
