Fram Our dgricultural Correspondent, ¥ My Susagn-Toun, Kansas Orry, Mo, July 20,—Tho party renched this clty at 4 n. m., aud took broakfast. Aftor breakfast, tho Mayor and other clty authorities ‘gave the party a ride in carrlages about the city, ‘nnd out to the Exposition-grounds that are now ‘boing fitted up for tho Boptombor show. KANBAS CITY “claims & population of something over 35,000 in- Xinbitants, and 18 tho contro of a Iargo trade. Thoy claim to do thoe Jargost beet-packing busi- o in tho Wout, and it is also a point for large shipments of cattlo ; and it is horo that the Kan- sing Paciflc Road unlonds tho stook for water and feod, ho city is on sovou hills, moro or loss, The soil bolug looss, it is easily cut down aud Jused for fllling, It is laid out with wido stroots, and things look lively gonorally. Many of its usiness-mon aro from Chicago and other party 'of Illinois. In tho time of tho Californin gold~ Aovor, tho placa was callod Westport Londing, +und was a noted placoe for ontfitting for tho over- land journoy. Now it Is tho point of distribution ‘nnd sbipment of Northwest dlissouri aud points west. At 9:30 a. m., tho party took the train over the Xansas Pacific Ratlrond for Denver, - The first stogo of the journoy is up the KAW TIVER VALLEY. Two years ago, this valloy was almost an un- viroken flold of corn, Now, thors is con- tidorablo com; but whoat and oats have olso had attention. The crops of all kinds oro ! 800d, as Kansns has ind timely rains during tho ‘voason. The wheat is all cut, and most of itin *stack, and tho farmors aro busy with tho oat-crop. * At Manhattan is the XANBAS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE ; but theso Agricuitural Collogos bave developad .80 little of valio to ngriculturoe that agricultural editors havo littlo or no sympathy with thom, and the party made no stop, but admired the pretty villago of 1,600 inhabitants that sits horo % gom in this beautiful and fertile valley, of ‘which £0 much bas beon sald in tho oarly his- tory of Bloeding Knusas. At this point resides a * votoran” who gives the ‘readora of Tur Weexkty Temuse .80 much valuablo information in regard to the caro and diseasos of animals. Oltizons of Knn~ 808 gonerally speak well of this Agricultural Col- oge, a8 it hay kept protty clear of the moro glaring foults of somo of hor Sistors ; yot all sfthink that a moro technological conrse would i{be of moro valuo to the industrics of the State. The party dined at Topoka, and wero fortunato Un having a good dinner, Abolino is dosertod by it stock-men, and tho ehipping-yards have grown rauk with weeds, for woatward the star of empire wonds ita way, and ,8ottlements crowded the lierdor farthor west, and ;hie has plantod Lis home at Ellsworth, so far into the henrt of tho old *desert” that Lo hopes no one will distance him. Ellsworth is tho great bendquarters of the TEXAS CATTLE TRADE, This trade has been tappod by the Missouri, Kanens & Toxas and tho Atchison, Topska & Santa Feo Railronds, yot thore is an immonso trado in theso cattlo at thoso polnts. And, all alongs the lines of there ronds Texas cattle aro scon scattored ovar tho prairio. Tho pnr&y spont the night at Salina, and, in the morning, July 22, resumed thoir journoy ovor tho groat plain. o Lhis point from Kansns Uity in 185 milos, and thorise Lins boon quite uniform, 8t fact permile, or 600 foet. Fifty milos farther, and we have passiod tho rainy ling, and tho grass has Dbocome cured ns though frost had passed ovor it; and yot the thousands of Toxas cattlo that aro, foeding upon this dry frass oo fat, aud ! thrive as though feeding on tho best of our blua- grass pasturo. . TRAVELING ON TIIE BADIATIL, The Pullman ear that contnined tha party runs smoothly and almost noisolessly, aud s large umber of the party are busy with their pencils 5 ;but, at 10 o'cloek, Mr, Williams, tho loador of the party, wont through the car, and gave to each momber & small volumo of ** rovival songs," end announced that the Rov. Mr. Clift wonld *lead the morning servico, and wo had the nsual germon of a New England congrogrtion. At Wilson tho train mado a balt to allow the party to inspoct tho THEE-PLANTING EXPERIMENTS of Mr. Elliott, the Industrial Agent of the Com- | any, I paw this planting two yenrs ngo, then _n s ‘infaucy. Many things bave falled, ns fmight Liavo boon anticipated ; but the bwo yoars , have shown that tree-plauting on this plain, or 4as it hng beon called, the ‘“ Great Amorican 'Pnserl," is not only possiblo, but an nssurod act. Among the troes aro ailanthusfrom seed, This proves to bo at homo horo anda treo of great promiso. It will probably tako the place of cot- tonwood and %iue for tied; and tho railroad-mon 3uy that, for this purposo, it is bottor than cither pino or cottonwood. Its growtl, a8 we know. in very rapid, and horo it grows three o slx Iset a year wlumm irrigation, and et an olevation of w31,600 fect. Wo ave 1uOW riBmg at on averago ¥ of tou foot to tho mile, nnd aro near the SmuEy Hill River, which is ono of tho sources of tha Kaw. Wo noticed whito ash and green aslt from seod ; ash loaf 1naple, both transplanted and from seed ; ntalpa from soed and trausplanted ; locust, from seed ; olm, trangplanted and from geod ; houoy-~ locust, from seod oud trausplantad; silver-leaf ;maple, from seed and trausplanted. Of tho pop- “lors, 1 noted Lombardy and silver, Abelo willows do mnot thrive w#o well; that Is, they grow very bushy. In timo thoy sy do botter, ecspecially if planted in largo bnufies to give the plunts shelter. White willow, aud golden, grown from cutlings ; black walnut, transplanted snd from nuts; butternuts, from good ; Kontucky coffee-treo, from sood ; Austrian ond Scoteh pino and red cedar, S +_Of shrubs I noted tamarix, spxrcns‘, Tillar's doutzin, seabra and D, Crenatn, English bird- charry, ‘peach from soed; Concord grapes, Clilck- asaw phiuis, and Morrollo chorrios. > +" o Jarely may bo said to have proved o failuro AL this point, and doubtless on el this dry, plain n....l', without irrigation. ‘I'ho stoclc-men aro soitliug all along the rond, ind the Inat two years have dovoluped quito argo sottlomonts at some of tho stutions. At . Walker 1 saw 00D 8oD conX on the plain, without irrigation, and, in fact, shero can be uo irrigation on tho rond, unless Artesian wolls may suceeed. i All tho lute-planted corn will, no doubt, prove s failure, but tho early is nowin tassol. The. groon corn makes & contraat with the dry prairie- grass that covers ofl this plain, At Ogallah tho torn was somowhat frayed out by the wind, yot 4 was fully taeselod ont; and this was tho lnst field that wo passod that looked ua though it wonld mako good ronsting cars. At this point wa are 2,800 feot above the ses, Tor a long time this MUST BE A PASTORAL REGION, for it canuot competo with moro favored points for agriculturo; but, for stock-growing, it is ditticult to find & more profitable Jocation, At tho #amo_time, by the use of sholter-boits, o zonsiderableumount of vegetables maybe grown for local use, A very littlo water will bo required to insuro v forewt growth, as, aftor tho trees bogin to shado the grouud, thurv will take caro of them- wolves, by wimply ohecking the evaporation, The ashes, oln, ash-leaf maplo, and ailanthus will grow and thrive ; and osage-orange grows quite well, but it wintor-kills at tho top rathor Ladly. Mr. Elliott ‘compl¥ined of the_ rabbits as cut- ting oOff Lis troes, Iivan tho Inrch and pinos did not okcape them. ‘Chen the small grasslioppors id some mschiof, DBut tho ralbits can Lo Iilled, and tho grasshoppors aro less formidable ikan many havo supposed.

The Inttor part of the journey was mado at night, somo 00 or 70 miloa boforo roaching Donvor; aud along that part aro hundrods of hoads of Toxas cattle grazing on tho great plain, DENVER, DENvER, July 28.—The city Is vory much an it was Lo yonrs ngo; tho sano netivily, the samo erowded condition of tho hotels, the samo throng of health and plumnru-snokom, and tho samo rookloss ronnd of spoculation, To-dny the party recoived their lottors, washod off tho dust of “travel, and went out sight-soeing. 'To mont of them tho uight was unox- pocted of o mauch Dboeincss, so lko tho busy cities of tho Fnst. They wore somowhat surprisod to seo all the cloments of clyilization blonded right at the portals of the Rocky Moun~ taivs and on tho hither sido of the Trana-Miu. souri plaing, We met mnny old friends at this Euhlt, who had Joft tho pleasnnt prairies of. vur tato to make now homos in thin paradise for thio plonoer. G Douvor has 8o ofton beon written up, that T may bo pardonod for thiy single monflon, for tho party makes no long slay, and, Tuekdny morning, July 29, at 7 8. m., the party are in tho cars of the Donvor & Rio Grando NAINOW QAUGE BAILROAD, in chargo of Mr. Bolso, tho Suporintendont, Gov. Hunt, and other gontlemon connected with tho rond, "For tho first 50 milos, tho nscont is 2,000 feot, or an averago of 40 feot to tho milo, tho maximum grade boing 75 foot por mile, . Ab tho summit, orthe top of the divide betweon tho Bouth Platto and the Arkansas Rivers, & a lako of somo 80 rods in longth, which bas an outlet at both ends, thus dividing ita wators botweon tho two rivers, At this timo the discharge ju vory slight, but during tho raiuy season is quito percoptible. Tho cost of this narrow gaugo road is to tho wide-gaugo ng three to flvo, and thou the samo proportion of nx{muuu is found in the running ox- Jouso, and this includes the tranafor of froight. Tho pasgengor-cars lavo scats for thirty-five porsons ; and nnow car, just rocoived, but not yot in Ao, has soats for forly porsons.

In doing this, thoy will only follow tho plan pursued by the Ohio & Missis- #ippi in changing from tho brond-gauge to that of tho ordinary gaugo. Exporionce hns now dom- oustrated tho wisdom of this kind of rallway. TFor the mountains, excopt for leading through linas, it is an absolute necessity, more o8} mini’ly in penetrating the minlng region. 0 must look for reliof in the roduced cost of making and oporating railronds, or, under the presont cost and managoment of the roads, we need not look for any vory marked reduction. “The party dined nt COLORADO SPRINGS, coventy-six milos south of Donver, and somo dozon miles from Pike's Poak. Wiy this place should Lavo tho appellation of Spring, 1 do not know : certainly, thero aro no springs within less than six miles, and these aro the Sodn Bpriogs. Tho Fountnin, which is here made up of the Fountain, Ohoydune Orock, aud Monu- mont Creek, 1s & rospoctablo stream, and capablo of irrigating soveral hundred thousand acros of rich prairie-land, tliat only noods water to mako it a primo agriculturat district. Whore tho wator has been applied, tho crops look very promising. Tho spring whent I8 Iate this son- gxlm, is just houded out, and the potatoes are in loom, - Colorado Clty is 2 miles distant, in the dircc- m?lu of the Poak. Aftor dinnor, tho party visi- to CHEYENNE CANOY, located at the foot of Choyeuno' Monntaln, and distaut 4 milos in an_air-lino, but 7 miles by tho rond. Tho party loft thelr carrisgos nf tho month of the canon, sod followed the windings of the stroam for a mile or more, to the Uigh Talls, whero tho trail onded. The nrtists, bota- nists, and bug-huntors hod a good time, and waore'ln eatacies, but wero told that the morrow would revenl more wondors, The party roturned to tho mprings for tho night; and, July 80, took carriages for the aniton Soda-Sprivgs; Lut, m doing fthw, they ook tho route that lends to Queon’s Caron nnd Glon Bzra, whero is tho fine residenco of Gon. Palmer. Glen Ezra is one of the most fairy-like spots on this little globe. The Devils I'uunch Bowl is tho end of the foot-path, and you return to admire the gronnds, the Douglas and tho Monzin springs, that givo their silvor lining to the glon. We then drove to tho Garden of the Gods, whoro & couple of hours wora spent in admiring this wonderful placo. The artists wore now busy, and, at some not far distant day, the public will be able to see some of tho seeno a8 thoy srw it. RoRAL, R e — 5 THE LITTLE ITALIAN SLAVES. v the Editor of The Chicuaqo Tridune: Stn: If it bo true (as hes boon assorted, and not disproved) that Chicago contains & number of littlo boys who 48ve been stolen from their homes in Italy, sud compelled to roam our stroets from yorn to midnight, and bring their cruel and sravicious ownors from 81 to 83 s day, under ronalty of & sovero flogging in caso of failare, i8 it not for the interest aud cradit of our Italinn cltizons, more than any other people, to investigato tho matter, and cither refute tho chargos or punish the offendors? I mysolf have met these street- musicisus late nt night, somo of them not over & or 6 years old, crying aa if their littlo Lioarts would break; and whou asked what troubled thom, they would roply that thoy droad- ed £o go home, because tho **boss " would bent theu far ot earning tho sum daily demanded of thom.

Now, the Italisus can investigato the matter for thomselves, Thoy can sponk the language, and Americans cannot, Doy cau interrogato the boys apart by thomsolves, With a promiso of protaction, they can ascortain their history, parentago, and eapecially whothior their sorvice I volutary and logal, or enforced and contrary to law and humsnity, They can then intorviow their masters, aud, by close quostioning and obsorva- tion, prove Whiother, as paronts or guardiaus, thoy hinve a right to 'tho servico and wages of tho boys. Demand their authority, and, if rea- sonablo ‘mon, they will show it. Othorwiso, arrost them. Whie is an important and werious matter, and concorns all good cltizens; but the burden of investigation and roproach, it thore bo any, rests chiofly on tho Italian people. Thoy should call a moeting, aud not merol denounce the iniquity, but tuko stop to oradi- cato it. ANTI-BLAVERY, —— THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT.

Unfortunately for our informant, ho stumblod, and fmmediately felt thie woight of his monstrous pursuor gliding over his body. o gave himsolf up for lost then, but it soomis hard to tell which was tho most fright- ened, the man or tho snako, for the latter did not scom disposed to run tho risk of a contest, but, gliding noross tho body of the prostrato man, bo slid off t o tremoudons rato toward tho ridgo of tho mountain and across it to the oast side.

That was tho Jnst ho 8awof him, for ho madn his way back to his companions as quickly as ho could, Thoy wanted to return and hunt for tho sorpont, but the hero of tho adventuro was too weal from fright and oxcitement to do 8o, but says thoy intend to go on an expedition to bunt the suake in n vory short timo. Tho color of tho roptile was yellow, with a black mark like 4 balf-moon on each sido of his oyos ; he had o board or fuzz round his mouth, and what ap- peared to our informant to bo a crown-shaped mags on tho top of head, Tho latter was about six inchos high, and varied in color, boiug groon, blue, whito, yollow, and red. The hoad of the croature was about as largo as that of & full- grown bull-dog, and in shapo_botweon that of & bull-dog and o monkey, ITia body was cov- orod with hard scales, six or cight inches long.
