Letter from Kansas.

 Mr. T. Saunders, of this place. has furnished us with the following letter, from friend in Kansas, who made the trip East, vid the 35tb parallel route, solitary and alone. 1t is self explanatory;
 SHERIDAN, Kansas. April 26, 1869.
 According to promise, give you sketch of my lonely ride over the Whipplc route. from your place to Fort wingate, New Mexico, left Robert Poste's ranch twenty five miles from Prescott on the morning of the 7th of January. About l2 o'clock the same day, l crossed He'll Canyon After crossing the canyon l was at- tackled by eight or ten Apaches, who wounded my pack animal in the thigh. A few rounds from my spencer soon drove them to the brush Putting spurs to my horse soon left them far behind. I encountered no snow in crossing Bill Williams and the San Francisco Mountains the highest elevation between the Pacific and At lantic, along the line of the 35th parallel Rail road survey. Along the base of the San Fran cisco Mountain is the finest tract of timber that ever saw. Bands of antelope and deer were constantly crossing my trail. Although l was lonely I was greatly impressed with the gran deur of the scenery and wondered why art had done so little when nature had done SO much All along the Little Colorado, the weather was like summer. I arrived at the Zuni Villages on the seventh day, but was sadly disappointed on learning from their chief that there were no white men nearer than Fort Wingste, some ninety miles distant. He also informed me that there was c band of Navajos in that vicinity, stealing from and murdering all who were so unfortunate a to fall into their hands. Leaving Zuni tha evening travelled twenty five miles; about nin' o'clock in the evening left the road and ther, passed the night; early in the morning 1 starte, on my course, when on striking the road, l sav several moccasiu tracks which had been mad during the night. Suspiconing that all was no right watched every bush and rock. Ihad no travelled more than two miles of the road nea Inscription Rock, before saw an Indian skulkin behind some brush short distance ahead of me fired a shot at him. and be, with several nor, ran and disappeared in a ravine. Thinking th road was not safe turned to the left and crosse a large mountain in the direction of old For : Wingate which place reached the next ever long journey. There saw the first white me t that had seen for nine days. I have seen n } place where times arc 50 good ss ..

SAGAcIors sSELEcrIos.--Some star-spangled po- tentate at Washington City has allowed himself to be duped by onr present monkey wrench del- egate, or his predecessor. the aquatic Coles Bashford, into giving the publication of the laws passed by the 4lst Congress to an expiring heb domadal at Tucson. which is neither seen nor read by three-fonrths of the white people of the Territory, and which has no attribute to recom- mend it to the present administration except it be the color of the paper upon which 1t Is print ed--a dirty brown. The getter of the job for the AriEonan will, no doubt, some day claim votes for his great efforts in persuading Govern. ment to have the laws of Congress published in the Territory, for the information of it's citizens but, as we said before, very few citizens of the Territory capable of reading. will ever see them in the Arisonva, for the simple reason that no- body outside of Mexico takes that paper Let us have light as we'll as pAace, senor Grant, but not through the flckeriDg rays of such a mori bund luminary as the Tucson Pie Plaat and Adobe
