Honest. Very! and Courteous.

Leavenworth Sold!

The citizens Of Leavep worth are
jubiIlant over their railroad prospects.
We hope they will not be disappointed:
but We think they are sold. Mayor
Carney, with an homes, purpose and
the duty of a faithful public servant in
view. has made contract with Mr..
Perry, President of the U. P. r. Co.
On the par; Of the Mayor this was in
good faith. ON the part Of the other.
We believe honesily.it is srindle. All
who have read this paper. know that
we have been a constant and firm friend
of the railroad interests of Leaven.
worth from the beginning. and We can
speak the more freely. knowing that
our remarks cannot possibly be miscon-
sirued into unfriendliness, either to
Leavenwor,h or Mayor Carney.
The slipula.ions Of he contrac. are
briefly. that Lesvenworth shall furnish
the Railroad Company bonds to the
amount Of $3.50. 900 to construct the
road from that city to Lawrence. and
that the Company shall build the road
and make over its right hereafter to be
acquired by certain treaty. to the
Leavenwoith Company. (Our paper
containing the contract did not come

contract, which We think is as stated. N

The Eleventh Regiment.

BY sdvices from Fort Laramie Of the
10th Of June, we learn that there was
intense feeling among the boys Of the
Eleventh in consequences Of the efforts
Of Gen. Connor 10 prevent tie muster
ing out Of the regiment. because he
wishes to use the men in IN Iadian
expedition he is fitting out.
The boys are indignan, that they
must be kept from their homes merely
to aid an aspiring officer to gain name
on their bravery and sufferings. They
think they should be treated as all 9th
er soldiers are under the orders OF the
Sec. Of War for mastering out. At
one time their indignation almost reach
ed the point Of insubordina'ion: bu,
they took the best course. and resolved
10 wai, as patiently as possible for the
hour Of deliverance. They do not know
now when they will &c. home.
Grass is very scarce owing 10 the raw
ages OF the immense number Of gaass.
hoppers iufesting the plains. In ten miles
square there was not enough to keep
