OR CITY,

In the fall of 1866 we visited this sec
ton of country on an "inspccting tour. )"
Salina then had the following houses :
the dollhouse Of II. l.. Jones, the front
part Of the American house, the build
ing just south of Couse l. Browns live
ry stable-then occupied as saloon ;
the "star hoter-east of the "Planters
House :" section of Lull Il Bros. store
and the house opposite, section OF
Wilbur & billiards store building; A.
N. CampelPs old store building; Hueb-
ner's saloon building, Col. Phillips resi-.
dence, and few dwelling houses. What
q contrast now is presented over the
appearance Of things five years ago.
A live, beautiful town containing about
fifteen hundred inhabitants, has now
sprung up, and is steadily advancing in
great prosperity. A tale Of wonderful
grOwth-remarkable rs any in the Gar
abian Nights"-could he written, which
would astonish our eastern friends. A
view from one of the bluffs discovers a
charming landscape, in the midst of
which is stretched out an array of hOus
es that betokens a large and fOurishing
city. Salina "the lovliest village of the
plain" we salute thee! Thy import
ance IS becoming known and rapidly
acknowledged.

WASHINGTON, MAY pa council was
held to-day between the Indian delega.
ton now here and the secretary of tn
interior and Commissioner, Parker on
behalf of the government Commission
er Parker called the attention of the
Indians to the fact that they were pro
missed annuities for only ten years, four
of which have passed, and in the re-
naming, they should try and take care
of themselves As farmers. He advised
them TO do 50, as they could live by
hunting but few years longer. When
the Indians 60 home, said the Commiss-
iOner it willplease the President if they
would stop on their way in the Indian
Territory and attend the general council
Of Indians, to be held there in the Creek
country, the object of which is simply
and solely for the good of themselves
and to establish peace and harmony,
and one general government among all
the tribes of that country.
AT the conclusion Of the commission
er's remarks, Little Raven said his
people were anxious to get together by
themselves he was anxious to have q
dividing line between white and Indian
blood; the whites are approaching them
constantly and the Indians do not know
what country they own. lie said peace
existed, but our soldiers We're stationed
among them and asked that they be
withdrawn.
The Wichita chief thought that near
ly all the lands given to other Indians
was the property of the Wichitas. This
was his principal complaint, and what he
particularly desired was pay for it.
Here am, said Buffalo Good, "with
a white mans coat and pantalOOns' on,
but there are no srcenbacks in my pOck-
cts, and now hope the government
will give me some to carry around, so As
to show something for the landr that have
been taken.
Secretary DclanO made short speech,
advising the Indians to learn the habits
of civilization rs soon as possible, and
from the government they would be
furnished with clothes and agricultural
implements, aud have schools and
churches established among them.
Little Raven was anxious to know If
nc would he authorized in getting his
people in the north to the south; this
the commissioner said he would let them
know tomorrow.
The Indians have been greatly i'm
pressed with what they have seen in the
country liberalization. Some of them
are disposed to repel the idea that the
capitol building and the paintings in the
rOtunda a"e the works Of men.

A few papers and a few persons in our
state still continue to attribute every
measure not working the most advanta.
geously to some great corruption OF
what are termed the purifiers" as
there were those, in the few months, past
tobe found who sought to fasten the blem.
ishes Of those in Office upon the "an:ies. "
This whole business of ordinations and
determinations has became a stencil in
tho nostrils of the people and they have
became possessed of the idea that the
issues of ''Clarke" and .an;i-Clarkc'
and "anti" this and that man are bitter
morsels upon the palate. Notwithstand-
ing the changes in the congressional
delegation, no stronger feeling Of secu-
rity pervades the mass Of the people
The great cry made last fall was more
to appease the personal vindictiveness Of
certain parties and to give them a place
in some fat Office than TO accomplish y
publication. Some of the strongest
of Caldwell and the active
OppOsers Of Clarke arc now classed as
the friends of Clarke and the enemies Of
Caldwell. Politics rs inaugurased in the
State for some time, has been nasty bust
ness, and not a few have got their 6ng.
crs burnt by dealing in it. Politics will
bring the complexion Of a mans charac-
ter to the surface prraty soon.

We learn that there are twenty-five
thousand Texas cattle en- route to Abilene,
Salina and BroOkville by the way OF
Park City, and will pass the latter place
within elght or ten days. 1t is expected
that three hundred thousand cattle will
pass over the new trail this summer
Park City can well compliment herself
on securing this Texas cattle trail. 1t
will do much toward building up their
town and put thousands Of dollars in the
pockets OF their merchants. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be two hundred
houses put up within the next four
months. Thus it seems that Park City
will be the big town Of Sedgwick
county.-EmporM Meas.

Horace Greeley has been travelling in
the South and has met with ovations a.
nearly every point. 1t is pleasing
commentary Of the existing facts, over
these of the past. The war, with its
attending changes, has worked glori-
Gus revulsion to the old order of things.
Previous to 1861 an anti-slavery man
would have been received with fine
coating of tar and feathers, and perhaps
be hung, on his first appearance within
any portion of the slavery-cursed pre-
cincts. With an occasional outbreak
from the kuklux here and there peace
and good order generally prevails and
the future, under wise government and
fairness, forcbodes harmony..among each
portion OF our land.

1t may not be generally known that
Gen. Lyon, who was killed at Springfield,
Missouri, during the war, was one Of the
most overbearing officers in the regular
Army. Our nation has honored his
memory, but gallant soldiers who are
living witnesses of his inhuman cruelty
can never speak of him except as an
unrelenting despot. There are two
persons residing in Salina who served
under him while he commanded the post
at Fl. Riley. They will willingly en-
dorse what We have said. Such reputa.
ton he bore; and, although he fell fight
ing for his country, there is little sense
in carrying our landation, in this in
stance, to excess. "HOnor to whom honor
is DUE"

LINCOLN CENTER, LINCOLN Co., KAN
May 23d, 1871.
MEssRs.. EDITORS: Never having no
ticed anything appearing in newspaper
columns regarding this beautiful locality.
/ take occasion to say few words re-
garding it. As its name indicates, it is
the center of Lincoln county, or as near
as an eligible sight for a town can be
found, being about two miles due east OF
the exact geographical center. Beautifully
located on gently rolling ground and
commanding one Of the finest prospects
ever spread out for human eye to gaze
upon,
This place has but recently been laid
out with capital stock of sixteen hun
dred dollars, every dollar of which has
been already disposed Of. Many more
applications have been made, and it is
now deemed necessary to make an addi-
ton to the town. There is already one
fine store in operation which is doing Il
fine cash business of fifty dollars per day.
There is also a good blacksmith shop
erected and will be stocked this week.
A portable saw-miIl will arrive here BY
the first of next month and commence
operation.
The Lincoln Center Town Company is
composed Of and Offered by just such
men rs mean business men who have
ever been the backbone of the Saline
River valley; men who can entertain a
white man, or shoot a hostile Indian with
perfect freedom and eclat. To all seek
ing homes in the west we say::come..right
here. You will find men here who
know every foot of ground from this
place to the blue hills ,or even on beyond.
We have yet some few unoccupied claims
in the vicinity, but they are few in num-
Der; yet on to the west of this place they
are still IN abundance, and of Us good
quality rs any. We think that we have
rs line country here as there is in
Kansas. Certainly no higher compliment
could be paid il.
Yours truly, INDEPENDENT.

"The Star-Spangled Banner.

Mrs. NELLIE EYsTER, who writes from
the recollections of an octogenarian, tells
the story of the "Star Spangled Banner"
as written by Key. This paragraph tells
of the first performance:
Have you heard Francis Keys poem,"
said one of our mess, coming in one even
ing, as we lay scattered over the green hill
near the captains marquee. 1t was rude
copy, and written in a scrawl which
Horace Greeley might have mistaken for
his own. He read il aloud once, twice,
three times, until the entire division seem
ed electrified by its pathetic eloquence.
An idea seized Ferd. Durang. Hunting up
volume of flute music, which was in
somebody's tent, he impatiently whistled
snatChes of tune af er tune, just as they
caught his quick eye. One called "Anac-
reon in Heaven" II have played it often,
for it was in my book that he found it),
struck his fancy and riveted his attention.
Note after note fell from his puckered lips,
until, with leap and shout, he exclaim-
ed: Boys, I've hit It'll" and fitting the
tune to the words, there rang out for the
first time the song of the "Star-Spangled
Banner" How the men shouted and
clapped, for never, never was there we'd
ding of poetry to music made under such
inspiring luuueHCSS! 0oLtlnS d OIlcl luI-
Tough, the brothers sang it on the stage of
Holiday Street Theatre soon after, Ii
was caught up in the camps and sang
around our bivouac fires, and whistled in
the streets, and when peace was declared,
and we scattered to our homes, carried to
thousands Of tiresides as the most precious
relic of the war of 1872 Ferdinand Du-
rang died-I do not know where-and
Frank Keys bones lie in the cemetery al
Frederlcktown; but | guess that song will
live as long as there is an American boy
to sing it.
