EDITOR OF NEwspEALER
Pursuant to the promise made in my
last communication to the numerous read
ers Of the NEwsDEALER, will endeavor
to say something of interest about the
great NEosmo VALLEY of Kansas. The
Neosho River, from whence the valley de-
rives its name, rises in Or near the central
part of Kansas, and flowing in south
sastcrly direction. draining with its nu-
merous tributaries this most fertile and
beautiful valley, thence in southerly
direction through the Indian country,
where it finally terminates by q junction
with the Arkansas, near Fort Gibson.
When say that the valley watered by
this river is the most fertile, beautiful
healthy and desirable countay on the
American Continent, | say it without lear
of successful contradiction. During the
entire length Of this stream--a distance
Of about 800 miles---on ether side, in
land. for many leagues thore is not a
square yard of soil but what is Of quail
ity that your New England agriculturists
might we'll envy. The topography of the
valley presents the most inviting features.
The soil is undulating. II is principally
composed Of ashes deposited by the sue.
cessive annual prairie fires which have
from time iramemorial swept over its sur
face. Hence, for endurance, tenacity and
ease Of development. it is unsurpassed
With one fourth Of the amount Of labor.
it yields the tiller treble the quantity Of

GENERAL HANCOCK.

Andrew Jackson. it will be remembered
bequeathed the Presidential Chair to Mar.
tin Van Buren,. Andrew johnson is ev.
identity trying to do the same thing fol
General w. S. Hancock. But there are
several differences in the two cases--John-
son is not Jackson, by long shot--in
fact, by the longest Of shots that was ever
made or dreamed Of; secondly, he is about
the last man in the country that ought
to set himself up for disposipg Of the next
Presidency; and thirdly. be has gone to
work about it in the wrong way. The
message sent to Congress, 10 which he
devotes himself to the task of culogizing
General Hancock up to the sublime STAN
dard of George Washington. was utterly
uncalled for aud full of gratuitous filings,
1t was overland not very covert, ell
ther-insult aimed at every other District
Commander at the South and at General
Grant, who has advised with and approx
ed them. The President, if he had reflect:
ed at all, must have known that the sub
stantial effect would be injurious rather
than beneficial to General Hancock. bnt
his chief object was manifestly to "stir
up the opponents of his administration,
and, in the sweetness of that revenge, he
probably lost all consideration of his
friend, his Washington of our day
Now against Gen. Hancock, as an Off
Ger and man, not word Is to be said
He did nobly during the war, and if he
has since become an admirer of Andrew
JOhnson,s policy. he has probably become
so honestly and rightfully. He has a
right to apply that policy in his COM
mand of the Fifth District, so far as he
can do it in accordance with the laws of
the land. But he is just beginning very
arduous and responsible, administration,
the difficulties of which, perhaps, he has
not yet fully realized He may fud that
this premature praise from the White
House will prove his greatest embarrass-
ment, by drawing round him o class OF
sycophants, disoyal at heart, who will
either s;ife him with their embraces, or
else drive him into that same attitude of
honest resistance and independence which
distinguished his once conservative pre-.
decessor and is still maintained by those
other conservatively inclined Commanders
Scho6eld, Ord and Candy. If ne yields
to the first branch of the alternative, his
administration will prove deplorable
failure, and his work will have to be done
over by other hands II ha takes the
other course, President johnson will have
thrown away his panegyric, and, as is his
wont. will have. adopted considerable re-
sentiment in its place. Hence, we do not
envy Gen. Haucock,s position. Ho will
have enough to do 10 the Fifth Military
District. without troubling himself about
the next Presidency. and bis sincere
friends had better, for the present. at least,
disconnect him from all intriguing after
the latter honor. Boston Journal.

A MOST AFFECTING SCENE.

We take the following most thrilling
description of the departure for New Or
lerns of his Excellency, Jefferson Davis,
from Baltimore paper:
"a way was kept open by the police,
and no other demonstration than desire
to see him was made until he ncared the
gangway. Then three hearty cheers we're
given. and few extended their hands.
Mr.. Davis at once recognized the compli-
ment by raising his hat, aud shook the
hands Of as many as he could. while
passing up to the deck of the ship. The
ladies separated from Mr.. and Mrs. Da-
Wis 10 most afectionate manner. Among
those who had gone to the ship to see Mr..
Davis was young girl of apparently
about sixteen years. She stood alone in
the saloon Mr.. Davis noticed that che
was looking at him inteutly. and ap.
preaching her extended his hand. She
grasped it, and throwing her arms around
his neck. kissed him. She then left the
shin. and the moor;pos were cast off Mr.
and Mrs. Davis appeared on the deck. and,
in response to the cheers of the poonle he
removed his hat and bowed an ,cLnowl
edgement."
Who tho young girl. apparently about
sixteen" was, it NAV, perhaps, never be
youchsafed us to know. Whether sbe

another, and perhaps the most conclusive,

THE NoRTHFIELD BUTCHERy.

We have read the abstract of testimony
given before the inquest on the bodies
Of the slaughtered men at Mortified.
Francis B. Abbott Engineer, Mr.. Locklin
assistant Superintendent, Maj. Tenney
bridge master, Sidney Bliss fireman,
Arthur McKenncy bridge builder, Mar
shall Hopkins citizen living near the
bridge, Willard Taft builder, Samuel
Fox builder and Charles ?. Smith who
saw The train when it went off &c.
These witnesses do not agree as to the
rate Of speed the train was rnniug, but
all do agree that it was running at an I'M
usual rate of speed. Maj. Tenuey says,
that when about half way up, he saw
that the train was running at "fearful"
rate and that he did not speak to the
engineer because he felt delicate" about
it! This reminds US of the story of the
Englishman, who declined to rescue his
drowning countryman because they had
never been introduced. He knew the
fate Of the train $50 be says aud only
appeared anxious for his own safety.
The engineer says he considered him.
self under Tcnneys orders, Tenncy says
not, and that Mr.. Locklin had charge Of
the train. Nov we do not know whether
Mr.. Locklin had been introduced to the
engineer Abbott or not, but by his own
account he does not appear so badly as
Tenney for when he saw that the train
was going to Davies locker" at fear
full rate, he was not too delicate to signal
% the engineer to stop the train. 10 be
sure the instinct of self. preservation, if
nothing more, would have prompted Mr..
Locklin to have done as much. He was
on the end Of the "eab" nearest the fear
full chasm, and would be the first to be
precipitated, and it is not an over pleasant
business to jump from car running at
the rate Of even twelve miles an hour.
But We are disposed to give every witness
even Maj. Tenney--the foil benefit Of
his own version of the affair. What VIC
mean to say is that by Maj. Tenney's own
account, he was C, iminally negiigentl
Maj. Tenpey had no right to be delicate
upon such an occasion just think for
moment Of his own account Of himself.
He is on the engine with the engineer
who is his subordinate. He seea the
train. freighted with nearly five score hu-
man beings dasbing at Fearful rate
(the word is his) into horrible abys,
where only by miracle could one escape
instant and horrible death, and does not
caution his subordinate, "because the
heads Of ono department are extremely
delicate about tnterfereing with the hcaas
Of another department Extremely del
icats VIC should say.
After the train went down, the Maj.
says be could not 60 to the suffering vic
Tins. be was 80 overcome;" further
evidence wo should say that the MATS
nerves were altogathcr TOO sensitive for
his position. We do not know Maj. ZEN

heard Of him except in connection with
this terrible affair. He may, for aught
We know, have done deeds Of gallantry
