Sunday the 15th was cloudy and chilly, but without rain, until evening, when thundershowers came up trom every side, and kept flashing and rumb- ling and pouring nearly throughout the night. Kansas brags on its thunder and: lightning; and the boast is well founded. I never before observed a display of celestial - pyrotechny so protracted incessant and vivid as that of last Bunday night . The country, already saturat- ed with water, was fairly drenched by this de- luge, which rendered many streams ordinarily insignificant either dangerous or for a season impassable. .- . At6a. m. on Monday morning, four of us left Atchison in atwo-horse wagon intent on reaching Osawatamic (some eighty miles rath- er cast of south-ofle hundred by any practi- cable route) nextevening. The sky was still threatening; we knew that the streams were swelled beyond reasou; but our pilot was a most experienced pioneer, who. had: forded, been ferried over or swam, every stream in Eastero Konsos, and was confident of his abili- ty to ga through by some route or other, So we went abend in a southerly direction, across swells of prairie rather steep-sided for Kansas and through ravines in which what were usu- ally rills were swelled into torrents. | From the high level of the praties little but broad sweep of grass on every side was visible; but soon we were descending into anew ravine, and now Belts and spars of timber were seen, generally widening as they descend. Inoted that these woody spurs, composed mainly of Black Oak and Cottonwood (the lattera very poor but quick-growing timber, ranging somewhere be- tween Popular and Basswood), 'began to ex- tend oneveryside wherever the annual fires were repelled from the adjacent prarie, wheth- er by the interposition of a road or otherwise, and thatthe young trees that thus spring up along the sides of the ravines and ran out into the level prarie, are quite often Hickory, White Ash, &c, even where none such are visible amoung the adjacent timber, I was fully con- vinced that wood grows more abundunt with the progress of settlement and cultivation. 4+ # i # # As we neared the California trail the white coverings of the many emigrant and trans- port wagons dotted the landscape, giving the trail the appearance of a river runing through great meadows, with many ships sailing on is bosom. Most of the independent wagoners were still encamped by the way side, unable or \unwilling to brave the deep mad; their cattle feeding on the broad prairie; the emi- grants cooking or sitting beside the wagons; women sometimes washing, and all trying to dry their clothing, drenched and soaked by the pouring rain of the past night. One great wagon-train was still in corral with its cattle feeding and men lounging about; the others might better lave been, as it was clearly im- possible to make their lean, wild-looking oxen {majuly of the long-horned stripe, which indi- cates Texas as their- native land, and which had propably first felt the yoke within the past week) drawn them up the slightest ascent through that deep, slippery mire, A groat deal of yelling, beating, swearing, was being expended to little purpose, as I presume each train corraled for the ensuing night within a mile of the point it lefbin the inorning.- 'These contractors' wagons are very large and strong, each carrying a couple of good extra axles lashed under its body, to be used in case an old one gives way under a heavy jerk; the drivers are as rough, wild-looking as their teams, though not so awkward at their bus- iness; but to keep six yoke of such oxen in Hine in the road, and all pulling on the load, is beyond human skill. It is a sore. trial to patience, that first start of these trains ou their long journey-to Utah, Fort Hull, Green River, and some, of these to New- Mexico, though this is not the Santa Fe trail. The loads are generally fifty hundred weight; the wagons must weigh at least fifteen hun- dred each; and, though this would seem mod- erate for twelve oxen, it must be remembered that they at this season poor and at first un- broken, and that the road is in spots a very hud one. A train consists of ten to twenty wagons; each train hus its reliable and expor- ienced master or director; and when a team is stalled another is unhitched frgin its own wagon and sent to the aid of the one in troub. le, 'The rate of progress is of course suail- like; these trains will do well if they make twenty miles the first week, considering the weather. But then the feed of the teams (like the lodgings of the men) costs nothing, us they live on the broad prairie and though thoy will often ba fearfully hungry or dry in traversing grassless tracts on their route, they ure said generally to gain in flesh (for which there is ample room) during a journey of three or four months. Of couse, they improve in. docility and effectiveness, being at first so wild thatin order to beyoked they have to bedriven into the corral (formed, as I may have ex- plainzd, by the wagons closely ranged in hal- lo x square, the tougae of each being run un- der its next neighbor, for defense against In- dians or other powlers). Very few wagons or enttle ever eome buck, the freighting is all one way and both wagons and cattle are usually sold xt or near their point of destinu- tion for whatever they will fotch-to be taken to California or disposed of as they best may. # i # x # x Thirty miles of progress, twenty of chem ov- er prarie, broughtpm to Spring Hill a hamlet of five or six dwellings includings store, but no tavern. Our horses needed to feed and rest --for the wagon with its four inmates was & heavy drag over such going-so we stopped and tried to find refreshment, but with limited success There wasno grain to sell, save a hoincopathic dose sold us for a quarter by a- gave this to our steeds, regaled ourselves on crackers and herring, and pushed on. Our direct route led due south to Paoli, county seat of Lykins: but persons we met here assured us that there was no crossing Bull Creek on this road, and that wo must bear away to the west through Marysville (n village of perhaps a dozen houses, including a store @ tavern), so as to- cross at Rock Ford, three miles beyond, which opened the only chance of getting over.. We did so, and crossed in saté- ty, with the usual jokes when we were fairly over; but Leonfess that the wide impetuons stream, to impenetrable to the eye and so far above its average level, wore avicious look to me when we approached and \plunged. into it, Its bottom is here hardly halfa mile wide, but is capitally wooded with Hickory, Oak, Black Walnut, &c. Emerging from it, we rode aver twelve miles more of high, gently rolling pra- ¥ie, with wood in the ravines on either side, which brought us to the village of Stanton (of twenty or thirty houses, Including: two stores and a tavern) which we reached before sun set haviog traveled atleast fifty miles since we! started fn the morning. ~ Night and the Mfateis des Cygues-here brought us to 'a halt-the creek beingat this time impassable-and we had to forego, our determination to reach Osa~ watamic before sleeping.

I presume there ie a larger town somewhere in what is known as Southero Kansas,though I do not know which it is. B .t Osawatamie has a higher interest than any otherspot in Kansas, except possibly Law» rence, because of her honomble: endncnce in the struggle which has se «wed Kansas to Free Labor. She was long the only settlement near the Missouri border which was nvowedly, decidedly Free State; the only Free-Staie vlilage that could be reached by a night's march from Missoun. To be known asa Free state man ut 'Popoka, Waubonsee, Einporia, or any other port well inl ind, involved strug- gles und sucrifices;'to be on at Osawatamic, was to live in nightly and well-grounded ap- prebeusion of robbery, arson and murder 'The Pro-Slavery settlements in the neighbor- hood were strong and malignant; and they had only to draw upon Missouri at right for ang amoant of foree, and the: dsft would be hon- ored. Yet to surrender this outpost was virtun ly to give up Kansas south of the Marais des Cygnes; und, though its maintenance was sura to cost property and blood, it was not sur- rendered, for Old John Brown was among its early settlers. 'Pwice was it sacked and laid in ashes. once alter a desperate fight of two hours, in which Old Brown with forty of his neighbors held at bay four hundred well-arm- ed Missourians, who had advantage of a can- non. So fearfully outnumbered, Old Brown, after seeing his sou and several of his neigh- bors shot dead by his side, and after killing atleast as many Missourians as there were of his own party altogether, was gradually driv- en back through the open timber north of the village and across the Marais des Oygnes the Ruffians not venturing to pursue their victory, though they had attacked from the west, and so were driving the Free-State men toward Missouri, 'The women and children had meantime fled to the woods on the south; the village was burned after being robbed, the only safe there- in having been blown open by firing a cannon into its side, and so plundered of some siver- ware and a considerable sam of money. Osa- wilomic was thus a second t'me wiped out.' But it has risen again from its ashes and is once more the home of an undaunted, freedom loving people, who are striving to forget their bereavmrots and sacrifices. in view of the rich fruits they have borne to Liberty and Human Good. They have gathered the dust of their martyred dead into a common grave on a prairie knoll, just west of their village, and propose to creet there a monument which shall teach their enildren and groud-children to love and chorish the cause for which those heroes joyfully laid down their lives I beg leave to suggest an enlargement of the scope of this enterprise-that this monument be reared to all the martyrs of Freedom in Kan- sas, and that the name of each be inscribed upon it and his mortal remains, if his relatives make no objection, be placed beneath the col- umn which shall here be reared as a memorial of the struggle which secured Kausas to Free Labor, and is destined finally to hasten the expulsiou of slavery from Missouri. Should a monument be proposed on this basis, I feel confident that subscriptions in aid of its erec- tion might reasonably be asked of all who prefer Freedom to Slavery, and would not be in vain. i G.
