WAR,

The latest news seems to almost set
tie the fact that we are to have war.
The navy yards are all alive. In the
Charleston navy yard 2,l00 men are n
work, and the Franklin will be ready
for sea in few days. The monitors
Ajax and Terror mt Washington are
nearly ready, and the Naritaskct and
Jason have been sent to private yards.
The republican central committee
passcd ringing resolutions, calling upon
the administration TO vindicatc the
honor Of the nation. Key West 10 to
be protected by line Of torpedoes,
and orders have been issued TO that eff.
feet.
This IL about the status Of affairs up
TO the hour of going TO press. War
viii saAkc times better. but il looks a
littlc like a great stou, man pitching
90 10 little, weak, old, sickly Invalid
aud thrsshing thcndcr out Of him.
The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1873-11-27
From the Augusta Banner.
Wichita a. It 10.

Wichita, as l stated in my previous
composition, has at present . popnla-
ton of about three thousand, aud is in
fact the metropolis of the Southwest.
1t has about one hundred stores, more
or less, three banks, and three first
class hotels; besides any number of
boarding houses and restaurants. Some
Of the store buildings are built Of stone
and brick, are three stories high, and
from 100 to $50 feet in length. The
first national bank Is . very fine three
story brick building, and said to be
doing the best business Of any bank in
the state. The new hotel building il
also Of brick, 100xl5O feet square. and
three stories high, and IL ono Of the
finest buildings in the state OF Kansas
for public house. Wichita has one
of Bakers patent bridges across the
Arkansas, whie.i cost so, 900, which il
at present a toll bridge; but the people
OF Sedgwick county talk Of voting
bonds aud making Il . free bridge.
But the principal thing that disting-
uishes Wichita from other towns in
Southwestern Kansas, Is the immense
cattle trade that IL carried ON there.
More than 100000 head Of Texas cattle
were shipped from Wichita last year.
and il is estimated that twice that num-
Der will be sent to Kansas City, ST.
Louis aud Chicago the present season
from the Wichita cattle yards. One
day last week $50 car loads OF cattle,
containing twenty-five to the car, were
shipped a; the same time, making over
5000 head in one train; 90 says the
Wichita EAGLE. Some days the prin-
ciple bushes streets are 80 crowded
with teams, aud the side walks so
throngcd with people, that II h almost
Impossible 10 get through, reminding
ONE Of Broadway New York Bat to see
Wichita - il Il, one Enust see il by
