SlOre was said by General Sherman
at New Orleans, during his recent visit,
than has found its way into public Jour
nails A New Orleans letter, which wO
find in the New York Express, says:
Some Of Gen. Sherman's friends here
got up fine supper as a testimonial of
their friendship Of the only man who
had the genius to cut the Confederacy
through the middle, break up the strong
hold at Richmond, and allow Gen. Grant
to ges through with his job OF fighting
it out ON that line"
Yarmouth, by virtue of his position
as Governor Of Louisiana, was appoint
ed to preside at the table, q ld in tho
course of speech alluded to his eOnnec-
ton with the army when Sherman at
tackled Vicksburg in December, 1862,
saying, to use his own words, II was
badly demonhzsd," and, turning Ia
Gen, Sherman, he 80 far forgot the eour-
tesy due him oa an Occasion OF this sort,
that he asked his old commander why
the application for leave of absence no
SHERMAN endorsed for him was sup
plementsd by "This officer should be
dismissed the service" Sherman let
loose right here, and plainly told his
Excellency that he thought he had been
most lenient on the OCCASION referred to,
Tor justice demanded that "he apphcGHi
should be shot" 1t is not often that
conviyial party gets cooled down in this
style by plain, matter-of-fact man like
Sherman, who never shrinks from re-
sponsibility in any place. His Excel
lency will steer clear Of Sherman gather
ings after this. A locomotive would
hardly suffice to pun him into another
company where Sherman has word to
say.

| The following poem from the San
I Francisco Golden Era IS not now
only Homeric in style, but complete
IN itself, for il ends with total anni-
/ hilatiOn Of the cOnbatants:
On pine woOdshed, in dark alley,
where scattered mOOnbeams, shifting
through a row Of t0ttering ehimneys,
and awnings torn and dropping, fell,
strobe back and forth, with stiff and
tense drawn muscles and peculiar
tread, q cat.
His name was Norval; on yOnder
neighbOring shed his father caught
the rats that came in squads from the
streets beyond Dupont. in search Of
food and strange adventure.
Grim war be courted, and his
twisted tail and spine uDheaving in
fantastic curves, and claws distended,
and ears fatty pressed against a head
thrown back, dedantly told Of i'm
pending strife.
With eyes agrim and screeching
blasts Of war, andsteps as silent as the
falling dew, young Norval erept along
the splintered edge, and gazed mo-
ment through the darkness down,
with tail awag triumphantly.
Then, with an imprecatiOn and a
growl-perhaps an oath in direst ven
genee hissed-he started back, and
crooked in back like a letter s, or
rather like a Q inverted, stood in
fierce expectancy.
Twas well. With eyeballs glaring
and ears aslant, and open mouth, in
which two rows Of fangs stood forth
in sharp and dreadful conformity,
slay up q post from out the dark
below head appeared.
A dreadful tOesin Of Internal strife
young NOrval uttered, then with 8
face unblanehed and mOustaehe
standing straight before his nose, and
tail slung widely to the passing breeze
stepped back in cautious invitation
to the foe.
Approaching each other, and with
preparations dire, each cat SURVEYED
the vantage Of the field. Aro1nd
they walked, with tails uplifted and
backs high in the air, while from
mouths, In accents Kissing with con-
suming rage, dropped brief but aw-
ful sentences Of hate.
Twice around the roof they went
IN circle each eye upon the foe in
NoEhy gIAls AAcA SIDEWAYS moving.
as Is won't with cats, gave one long
drawn terrific, savage yeow, and
buekled in.
The fur. A mist Of hair hung DER
the battlefield. High above the din
OF passing wagons lose the dreadful
tumult Of ths struggling cats. So
cleaned their eyes in frenzy that to
me, who saw the conflict from the
window near, naught else was plain
but CORY stars that moved in Orbs
most eneentric.
An hour they struggled in tempes-
tOus fight, when faint and fainter
grew thesqual Of war, until the sound
was hushed. Then, went ( forth
with lantern, and the field surveyed
what saw i?
Six claws, one ear; of teeth perhaps
q handful; naught else except sOli-
tary tail. That tail was NOrval's; by
a ring knew it. The ear Was-but
we'll let the matter pass. The tail
will do without the ear.

/ During my residence OF four years
in the land which ] am proud to claim
as cradle Of my forefathers, / have
been frequently grieved to read in the
public papers Of Germany, dispara-
ging accounts Of the institutions and
people OF my native land; grieved to
learn, according to their correspond
ents, how our German fellow citizens
are working against their own inter-
est. Before came to Germany, 1
had no idea of the extent Of their Bit
terness against many Of the Ameri-
cans best political and ecclesiastical
EinTichttfngeT, arrangements, and 1
must confess that when look at
"signs of the times" am anxiously
alarmed, for the future OF .'the land
Of the free and the home Of the brave"
I have an open hand and heart for
all who flock to our shores, providing,
that they are willing to be brought
under the genial, elevating, christian
izing influences Of our republican in
stitutiOns, willing to study and enter
into the spirit and workings Of these
Institutions willing TO work for the de-
velOpment and perpetuation Of right
ideas, right principles, right laws. I am
nota politician , but my yObservatiOna and
study Of the workings and spirit Of
mOnarchieal governments, and the
customs and influences which natu-
rally and necessarily adhere TO the
emigrant for long years after bis ar
rival, compel me, as an enthusiastic
admirer Of the American institutions
and principles above all that have
been able to learn and understand in
Europe, to the conclusion, that the
'KnOw-nOthing Party" was a good
thing, in so far rs it was public and
open in the enunciation and defense
OF its principles, and professed to res
cue the people and the government
from foreign domination.
It is net safe TO intrust our liberties
to any foreigner, no matter from what
part Of the world he may hale-whO
ridicules and undOes the hOliest and
best works Of our fathers, and rejects
God in his practice and faith. To as
sign such men to the places Of profit,
trust, and honor, at home or abroad,
is poisoning the blood and sapping
the strength of both church and State.
Not until he becomes a true man, a
whose works and words are
ever for the elevation Of the religious,
moral, and intelligent condition Of the
nation, the world can be q safe custO-
dian of free institutions, a real bene- |
factor Of the race.
A TRUE AMERICAN.

LIFE IN COLORADO.
FORT COLLINS, COLORADO TER. !
Nav oath 1871

may A0tns 1871.
EDITOR CHRONICLE Thinking
perhaps a few lines from this locality
might interest some Of the many read
ers Of your widely circulated paper,
will try to tell where located, pros
poets and advantages.
fort Collins, the county seat Of
Larimer County, Is one Of the north
ern counties Of this territory; is forty
five miles south Of Cheyenne, W.
Ter, sixty-five miles north Of Denver
City, and twenty-five miles west Of
the prosperous and enterprising town
Of Greeley. Is pleasantly located on
the south bank Of the Caehe-a-la-
pOndre river, and four miles from the
base Of the mountain. This is one Of
the finest streams in the territory
1t affords an abundance Of water du-
ring the summer season for iTrigating.
The mountain tributaries of this riv-
er abounds in fine trout, and affords
fine sport for excursionists who de-
sire spending few DAYS in the noun
tains. Game, elk, black and white
tail deer, bears, mountain sheep and
grouse, are plenty. A man living up
the river at q place called LivermOre,
has been offered $1,000 for a pair Of
mountain sheep, and is now making
an effort to capture them. He has
taken q COW with him to supply the
young with milk in case he succeeds
in capturing them. The valley of
this stream from its mouth, near
Greeley. to the base Of the mountain
is delightful, and well adapted to agri-
culture. The crops at this writing
are looking finely, and have not re-
quired irrigating. If we have no rain
between this and June lst, will then
be obliged to irrigate. Much larger
scope of country has been seeded to
grain this season than last; an unusu-
al large crop Of potatoes have been
put in. One man on Big Thompson
Creek, (eight miles sOuth) has put in
one hundred acres. Enough 1 should
think for all the bugs in- the eOun-
try. Still they ara not satisfied, and
are committing their depredatiOns
here and every place heard from in
this territory. I discovered them in
the ground, when plowing, as early
as February; as soon as the potatoes
are up they prey upon them. Vari-
Gus devices have been resOrted to to
get rid Of them-some use Paris
Green, some Carbon Oil, and many
pick them of and burn Orscald them,
which Is very tedious but about the
only sure way Of getting a crop Of po-
tatOes.
The advantages Of persons desiring
to farm or raise stock: First, farm
ing is now principally confined to the
valleys, as the land can be irrigated
with much less expense than the bluff
lands, Gas they are termed here, and
owing to the large immigration pour
ing into this territory. the supply Is
not equal TO the demand-hence we
have q fair market for everything pro-
dueed Wheat is now worth &c per
h., oats Sc, corn SC. and potatoes &c.,
which gives us q margin TO compete
with producers east, and still farther
west.
Second, stock has an unlimited
range over these vast plains which
produces very nutritious grasses
Even now the stock after having win
tered without q moTsel OF hay, is
ready for the butcher.
Lest / may weary your patient
readers I close. More anon.
Yours respectfully,
A. L. FELL.

The reports from the Southern
States are very unfayorable for the
growing cotton crop. The acreage
planted is fully u per cent. less than
last year, and the weather has been
so unpropitiOus that the plant is
backward and much Of it has sieken-
ed and died. It is the most unprOm-
ising for twenty years. The Macon
ga Telegraph thinks the new crop
cannot exceed 2 500, 600 bales. Some
ofthe Southern papers speak OF the
failure OF the crop as q "blessing in
disguise" but predict that ID viii
bring as much money as that Of 1870.
The wheat harvest begun in Southern
Illinois is earlier than ever before
known, and the yield is abundant.

KANSAS, May 25, 1871.
EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-Will you,
through the columns Of the CHRONI-
Gle, permit me to give some deserip-
ton Of the country here, to satisfy
numerous enquiries made to Us for
the same, and the trouble that is re-
quired 10 go through to find home
stead, &c, &c.
Myself and G. II. YeOmans, left
Kinsman, about the middle of March,
to secure to ourselves q farm, and a
home. We went to Cleveland and
procured tickets through to Kansas
City, on the Bee Line, which proved
20 be q route that can be well recon-
mended. The officers Of the road
were very gentlemanly.and Obliging.
We arrived in safety at Kansas City.
There q person not used to travel
ing will find that dollars and cents
do not stay in the pocket a great while.
We left the city soon as possible for
fear of their taking our clothing, &C.,
If we should look at their burg
Humboldt was our next stopping
place. There we met with kind hos
pitality, cheap board, at the st. Louis
House. While sojourning there, get
ting what information we could, we
made up our minds to purchase a
team and take overland conveyance.
Fortune favors the brave. After
looking around about one day for 3
team, we came across one in the shape
of "LOng cared horses" Packing our
trunks, boxes, fruit trees, &c, &C,
we left for the wide extended plain.
Taking four fellow comrades from the
southern part OF Ohio, along. After
two days travel we commenced to
enquire for government land. Here
comes in the greatest trouble. In all
the enquiries a person makes he can
not find the land that we soldiers are
looking for. The reason is that settlers
don't want the country filed up, 30
they then can't have 50 great q range,
or they have land to sell, or perhaps
they have some friends back in the
east that will get along in a year or
two. We travelled west through Will
son, Wodson, Greenwood and Butler
counties; meeting a gentleman one
day on the road to SedgWiek, we made
some enquiry in regard to land. He
informed US that the Arkansas River
valley was the place for US to go to
get hOmesteads, and moreover, as good
lands as could be found in Kansas
So we logged along. That man told
the truth. We went into the valley
about twenty-five miles north Of
Witchta, and found a location that
suited US. Here we are yet. The land
is valley land between the Arkansas
River west, and little Arkansas east.
When we pitched our canvass, it
looked rather lonesome, as we had no
within 10 miles to speak OF.
There is where many would be dis
but we keep up good heart,
and to-day there is not a quarter sec
ton Of government land 10 be had
within fifteen miles Of US, to my
knowledge. We have plowed and
planted about fifteen acres, built
cabin, &c. Potatoes are in blossom
corn from two to eight inches high
garden vegetables in proportion. We
expect to get our hedge rows planted
soon. The soil is two foot deep;
little sand mixed In to make It good.
Within ten miles of r. r. Station,
and soon will be within two miles
Ten miles to Buffalo herds, Of which
we have abundant supply Of meat
