LETTER FROM KANSAS.

Ed. Monitor: The weather has been
dry and cold, during the fall, and snow
came early. We began to feed stock on
the Goth of October-fully three weeks
earlier than usual, Snow came Nov. 10,
and since that time we have had enough
of it, though it never falls to any great
depth here We can use, with variations
suited to this climate, part of the po-
EN- entitled, Beautiful Snow" Oh, the
snow, the beautiful snow But how like
the deuce the winds do blow If there
happens to be any place where the snow
does not alight in falling. the wind is
sure to pile up drift in that place.
The holidays, which ought to have
been pleasant and merry, or, at least,
we'll behaved. have been the worst of
the winter so far. As if to be on time,
the storm commenced the day before
Christmas and showed till we had six
inches, and the mercury came down to
six degrees below zero-the lowest so
far-and then the prairie wind finished
the job, bringing a good sized drift into
our house, which | think must have
been built for summer residence. | am
not certain, however, but that it is the
best kind of house for stock-men, as
on cold days we are obliged to 60 out
and work to keep warm, and the cattle
get more attention than they might,
we're it otherwise.
CROPS.
The past season has been usually pro-
ductiye and favorable in this vicinity.
The heavy rains in June did considera-
BILE damage on the low lands, by an over
flow of the rivers, and the wheat crop
was injured from this and other causes,
but the crops averaged we'll. We see by
the reports that this county produced,
in 1875, 1,159,O00 bushels of corn, OF
an average of 100 bushels to each man,
woman and child. Much of this is still
in the hands of the producers, and add.
ed to the amount raised in 1876, il
makes corn decidedly plenty. 1t sells a
: the feed lots and railroad stations a
from 16 to % cents. The wheat croI
in this county, Notwithstanding the
age by water, was 10000 bushels, o.
Is bushels per capita.

TWO STEAMBOATS, BURNED.
The Grand Republic, the Largest
and Finest Boat CT tls
Western Waters, and
the OarOndelst.
They Took Fire About Midnight at
the st. Louis Wharf and
were Burned to the
Waters Edge.

ST. Louis, September 20. The steamer
Grand Republic, the largest aad finest
steamboat on the Western waters, took
fire about midnight last night aud burned
nearly to the waters ledge. The flames
communicated from her to the steamer
Carondelet, lying alongside, aud all her
upper works we're destroyed. The lat.
ter's hull is of iron, and therefore will be
saved, but her machinery will no doubt
be badly damaged. The boats were lying
up at the foot of Lesperance street,
about two miles and a half from the
center of the city. Neither the value of
the boats o insurance can be obtained
tonight.
The steamer Grand Republic burned
TO the waters edge aud sunk before
morning. 1t is doubtful whether her
machinery will be of any value. She
a owned by Captain Thorweigan,
valued at $3.50, 900 and insured for $50,
900 in about twenty-five Offices, the names
Of which cannot be obtained. The Car.
ondelet is probably a total loss. She
was owned by Captain Frank Hicks, and
three associates, valued ct $40 900 and
insured for SIT, 900.

IT happens that the President will ar.
rive at Chattanooga on the anniversary
of the battle of Chickamauga, fought not
many miles from there on Sunday, the
10th Of September, 1863 We were
shown to day an old book, faded but
valuable, belonging to Major B. J.
Semmes, of this city, then chief quar-.
termaster Of Bragg's army, and in which
appears field notes taken at the
time. Mention is made of fighting the
previous afternoon and a heavy frost
and thin ice that morning. The next
entry is that the bodies of General Pres.
ton Smith, Captain Donaldson and
another officer, killed that day, we're
brought into Major Ssmmes' quarters
and remained all night. On the 2lst
Major Semmes sent Bragg's report to
Richmond by telegraph, counted thirty.
five cannon taken in action, and with
Colonel W. H.. Walters Of Brsgg's staff
mustered 4442 Federal prisoners.
These are not pleasant "reminiscences,
but their shadows only make the present
the brighter by contrast. The cannon,
and the flags, and the powder burned to.
day at Chattanooga will be used for a
different purpose-to demonstrate that
peace and fraternity pervade the land,
and taat civil law is supreme.
