We nctic:d R. Hawkins, J.. W. Golden and R. Dunlap there, from 'Irish Grove," each having a warcn lead cf bacon and produce, and on asking why the drove 'through Rockport'and came eight miles across to trace at Brownviiie. taey said they got a better price for their produce and bought goods cheaper at Brownviiie than they could at Rockport. : Our old friend D. J. Martin, formerly of Rockport, has opened a large stock of goods at Brownviiie, and seems to be get ting a goodly portion of the Missouri trade. We can account for this in part when we remember that David is a fine looking bachelor, cn the sunny-side of thirty years, very accommodating to the ladies, but es pecially to the mothers of good looking daughters, hoping no doubt by this means to obtain the favors cf both mother and daughter, and by this means get a pair of white plump arms entwined around his neck as an agreeable comforter against the chilling blasts of the coming Winter. We hope you may, David. But we wish to speak more particularly cf that in whioh all travelers as well as the citizens are more deeply interested, and that is the Brownviiie Hotel owned and kept by Messrs. Wheeler Sc Rainey. Thi3 is decidedly- the best kept hotel in the Territory, without any exception, and we speak knowingly, for we have sloped at ail the principal hotels in the Territory. The house is large and conveniently arranged, the rooms dre neatly furnished, the beds are clean and comfortable, the servants are accommodating, the table is.well sup plied with all the varieties that the season and market affords and everything is got up in good taste, the charges are mode rate, and quiet and good order seems to be the ruling motto. In shqrt we would say to .the traveling community, that you will find the Brownviiie Hotel a comfort ab.e stepping p;ace. The c'rowth cf the town is not rapid but permanent. . The citizens are generally honest and industrious, and Brownviiie -is ! Jf1 13 be ? PlLl fr losmess for a large' population. The county is the best improved, and is producing more than any other county in the Territory. There has been some seventy thousand bushels cf -corn sold in the county the past. season. This. is the surplus crop after wintering their stock, and we .noticed several more farms being opened this Spring. We set Nemaha down as tne banner county. .

W. -Fra!i as, Esq. : -, - Dear Sib Agreeably to" promise I write - from this portion cf the country I have been quite disappointed in my expectations as to the improvements m Kansas. I find very .little, of the coun try is settled, after leaving the Missouri River a few miles'; a great many cab ins are to be seen scattered in the prairie, but all vacant," and no 'improvements around them. Rather desolate looking I assure you when compared with your portion cf Nebraska. I have cot seen in all my rambles in Kansas such agricultu ral improvements and advancement as in Your countv, Nemahs. . . Considerable emigration is starting out from Leavenworth ; but not half what is reported. You "way judge from prices that the demand'is not' geat at Leaven worth. I saw good cattle selling for $60 per yoke, and excellent flour retailing at S3 per sack. Leavenworth-, however, is a "fast town," and no mistake. The better portions) by fax, of . Kansas, are the. Jndian. . Reservations, . and the manner in which they are managed can not fail to seriously retard the progress of the country in. and around. I- understand the same course is being pursued in re gard to the Half-Breed Reservation be tween the .Nemahas'in your Territory, viz: a few posted and scheming men. se cure the lands as fast" as the Half -Breeds get tides, and thus the lands pass into the hands of speculators, who neither improve or sell cn terms that men with limited means, and who would improve, can pur chase. Really these lands' after being assigned to .the Indians are in no better shape than before, and are doomed to stand still for yeare. " ' ' -. After leaving the' Missouri River,' go-, ing South' in the direction of Ft.. Scott, I am again disappointed ia the. .. .country.

Ft, Scott is situated in or near the cen ter, of Kansas,., south , from the Missouri River, -.and about-four miles from ihe Missouri State line.

" The complications and difficulties between Federal and Judi cial officers is fully explained,. and his crurse in responding to the Judiciary, as a co-ordinate branch of the Government, is fully sustained and justified. . It appears that Governor Cumming was acting under special instructions from the State. .Department, and directly oppo site to the instructions of Col. Johnston and the judicial -officers. . The' Cabinet has had the subject under consideration. " Gen. Johnston's dispatches change the aspect of affairs there, and it is not known what course the ' Administration will pur sue as between the federal and judicial officers.

' It is ye; a disputed question ' whether the peach crop has been entirely destroyed by th" Ia!e unfavorable weather. At Cin cinnati it rs-reported that the peach crop, though injured, was not . altogether blight ed, and "the .trees, 'cr a portion cf them, will bear gnod "fruit ; 'if not in such abund ance as usual.
