SURVEY OF THE A. T. & S. F. RAIL.
ROAD.

The surveying party which left he re
on the 18th of May, under charge OF
Capt. J. II. Ellinwood, to run line for
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
road, returned OH Monday last, having
been out forty-twO days. The party is
composed of II men, and they all en-
loved excellent health and had pleas
ant time with the exception of the
heavy rain storms and some delays on
account of high water.
The party went from here west, and
crossed the Cottonwood above the
junction of that stream and South Fork.
From there the line runs up South Fork
for several miles to Mercer creek ;
thence up Mercer creek to the divide
between that and the head waters of
Walnut river; thence down the Walnut
10 its confluence with the Arkansas,
passing Chelsea, Eldorado, Augusta,
Douglas and Lagonda. The distance
route is l22 miles.
In returning the Captain surveyed. n
direct route from here to Chelsea via
the headwaters of the Verdigris. Leav-
ing the Walnut at the last named place,
hc followed the divide between Dura-
can creek and the Walnut thence TO
Cedar creek and other small valleys on
the hcad-waters of the Verdigris. This
route is rather rough, and is but mile
and half shorter than the first line
surveyed.
On the line Of the first survey the
Captain says water and timber are plen-
ty, and the soil very fertile. Stone is
also plenty. lie thinks the land i'll the
valley of Walnut river as good as any
in the State. Corn was waist high on
lower Walnut in the middle of June.
On arriving here Capt. EllinwOod
found orders awaiting him to start i'm
lncdiately to run another line up the
Cottonwood via Cottonwood Falls and
Dole creek, to Wichita. 1t Is thought
by many that this is fine route. The
Captain thinks the route first run a
splendid one in every respect. The
party left here Tuesday morning, and
will take up the line of survey from
the mouth of South Fork. They ex-
pcct to return here in about three weeks.

The intermission of two hours was
hardly half past, when tremendous
cloud gathered in the south and west,
predicting a severe storm. The people,
however, reassembled, and III such num-

and to the interests of the State general

Gov. Harvey, who presided during
the day, presented the diplomas to the
graduating class in brief and happy
speech, calling their attention to the re-
Of no fhnp ha6

pectations cherished concerning them.
The regular Graduates Address fol-
lowed by Prof. L. B Kellogg, principal
of the school. 1t was an off-hand in
formal. but highly practical address,
showing the graduates their account
with the State, the debt they owe to it,
and the method by which they could
pay it, viz the teaching of good schools
The graduating class then united ill a
parting class song, the benediction was
pronounced, and the exercises closed.
The graduates held reception i'll the
evening, at the school building, which
was largely attended, and did not break
up until late hour.
The entire commencement exercises

FLooD IN WESTERN kANsAs.-WG
give the particulars of the great flood
in Western Kansas, so far as they have
been received, in another column. Such
high waters were never known there
before. 1t is particularly unfortunate
20 that portion of the State to be thus
visited now, because they were unfor-
tunatc in not raising good crops last
season on account of too much dry
weather.
In consequence of these high waters
the kaw has been very high, and we
hear of some damage along it's bottoms.
At Topeka portion of the pontOOn
bridge was carried away, and the bridge
of the y. T. Il S. #. road was slightly
damaged. At last accounts the bridge
OF the Southern Branch Co. was stand

CLING TO THE PRINCIPLES.

The best position for true Republi-
can is in the bosom of the Repu blican
party, remcdying the wrongs of his par
ty friends, but clinging to the principles
and the organization as the anchor ofsafe
10 the nation.-LGtcTeRce Tribune.
The above are our views exactly. We
believe in Republican Principles and
Republican Men. those principles have
done wonders for the world III the past
twelve years. They have freed the coun-
try of the blight of slavery, and saved it
from destruction at the hands ofa pow
erful enemy which threatened its de-
struction. Republican principles have
done more for the development and
prosperity of the country than any 9TH
or ever enunciated.
While we believe in Republican prin-
ciples and advise all To take their places
in ''the bosom ofthe Republican party
we must say that in some instances
which we might mention the party
would be justitiable in taking all hon
orablc means in Kidding itself of the
corrupt men who have fastened them
selves upon it, and who are doug much
to bring its glorious principles into dis
rcpute. We don't know whether we
are as strongly partizan as the Tribune
or not, but this we do know: We are
for country before party all the time,
and if corruption and rascality should
get such 4 hold as to make it necessary,
we for one should advise any honorable
step to cleanse and purify the party.
We do not intend to be outdone in the
extent of our devotion or loyalty to the
glorious principles for which the nation
was drenched in blood, but we shall
never willingly submit to the tyranny
of the army of shysters and corruption
lists which now threatens our welfare as
u party.

KANSAS CITY AND EMPORIA RAIL.
ROAD.

Gen. w. H. Morgan, of Kansas City
recently addressed letter to Mr.. JOY
asking him whether or not he proposed
to build the branch road from OlathC
via Ottawa to Emporia. Mr.. JOY re-
piled as follows:
DETROIT, June 9, 1869.
MY DEAR SIR: Absence from home
has prevented an early reply to your
letter relative to the road from Olathe
to Ottawa and Emporia.
You ask if we have any plans to
build it, and saying, also, there is a
question before your city relative to aid
for it. We have never had
any design to build the road to En-
poria. When some of your citizens
have been speaking of the importance
have pointed out to them the much
greater importance of a road to Ottawa
and Emporia. and as the one which, il
they consulted their own interests, they
would unite with the country to build
and may have said that we would be
willing to cooperate and aid in its con-
structiOn. But have never said any
thing more than this, and there is GER
tainly not sufficient inducement for us
to take it up as an investment. We
may aid when the country does all ii
can in the work, and when it gathers
strength enough, with what aid we can
give, to complete it, but not otherwise.
Yours truly, j. +. JoY.

LOUDEN, June 18th, 1863.
Editors 4drertise,' !: In looking over
your excellent paper of the oath inst,
see some pretty severe remarks about
the County Board-calling them "Coun-
ty Paps," pro bono publico." Now it
seems To me it would be a little strange
if among SO large family rs Old Cedar
contains there would not be few who
would be little impertinent and saucy,
us the population is made up of mixed
multitude viewing things from different
standpoints hence | can make some
allowance for the insinuations to which
| have alluded. But in all candor,
have been and am still opposed to cut
ting down claims that have been prop
erly "proved up and certified to by the
trustees Of their respective townships.
I can see no authority for SO doing, as
the trustees are acting under oath, with
"A full knowledge of all the circumstan-
ces connected with said claims. The
true object of the Board is to guard
against illegal claims and do justice to
all.
In reference to the remarks under the
head of Economy" | have only to say
that l called the attention of the com
mittee Oh public buildings to the mat
ter, by resolution, and instructing them
to ascertain whether it was necessary to
have the court house reprinted. l did
then and still think that the arrange
ment should then been made to have
the painting done Immediately; and
also to have cisterns dug as security in
case-of fire. But don't, Tor one, propose
to come up with ladder, pot and brush
to help do the painting at $3.50 per day
and mileage but would not object to
take little of the gentleman's roasted
beef, if given kindly.
Yours truly, THo's SHEAREK.
