something Of the kind, to serve as
a means of transition from the
Sunday School to the adm church.
that Sunday school children did
not, now days, go to church, be-
canse they could not understand
the sermons, which result, as some
OF the speakers intimated, from the
preachers not understanding chill.

church-going, a large portion Of
those who are early trained to piety

April 26, 1866.
EDITOR TRIBUNE, SIR:- Think.
ing some of your readers might be
interested in this part of Missouri,
l have concluded to write you q
few facts concerning it. From the
map you will see that Galloway
Co., is near the center of the State;
it is an old county, and in intelli-
gence and wealth, is above the av-
erage. Here, the country is roll
ling, and is heavily timbered,
though there are small Praries a
few miles back from the river. -
Lime and Sand stone are abundant,
and of good quality. The River
Bottoms are very rich, having an
alluvial soil, varying from a few
inches to several feet in depth.
Next the river the timber is n
heavy growth OF Cotton wood, fur.
.ther back is Black and White Wal.
nut, Oak, Ash, &c The soil on
the uplands is a light sandy loan,
with sandy clay subsoil, underllid
with lime stone. The Praries,
have light, black, and sometimes
red soil, with clay subsoil. They
are poorly watered, and water is
supplied by cisterns. The uplands
nave net been considered good for
farming, on account Of the hillsides
washing.
Tobacco has been the staple
crop, the last crop of which has
mostly been sold in barns at ~ to
25 cents a pound. The people
have depended upon it SO long that

The Great National I'm

The Convention was orgsni zed on the
14th inst, by the temporary select ion Of
