Omaha, July 7, 1SG9. The most pleasant route from Chi'cago to the Missouri River and West, is by the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad. The tourist who desires a speedy and comfortable ride can leave Chicago .at 10:13 A.M., or 3 p.m., and reach here in twenty-one hours there- ; after. To each train is attached one or two of Rullman's celebrated Palace Sleeping Cars; and those who deire a first class ride, free from the usual annoyances of a "mixed" train, should by all means secure a berth in one of them. We, of course, had no desire to take a first class ride, as we could not, id a closed coach of a "select few,", enjoy the pleasintr pastime of reading characters, which are various, and hearing the usual en toute gossip, and more especially as our ticket only read " Pass. Ar. So and So," without the most remote mention of Pullman's Sleeping Coaches or anybody else's lor the matter of that. We consequently took the second best, and left Chicago at 10:13 A. M. For hour after hour we sped over boundless prairies with scarce a tree in view; dow dashing across a pretty rippling ptream finding its way silently across the beautiful carpeting, upon whose margin delicate flowers might be , seen intertwined with the thick undergrowth; and then again glidingout upon the open prairie. The road-bed is solid, the track smooth, and the rolling stock in fine condition; and with every hour, forty additional miles were left in our wake. At 3 p.m. we reached Fulton, dia-

tant one hundred miles from Chicago, I street railroads, Pf P'J p"

and a few minutes later crossed the majestic Mississippi into Iowa, when at Clinton an emigrant train had been made up and was awaiting, and which followed close behind us. From-this point the aspect of the country changed somewhat, and new and strange features continued to be developed until we arrived here. The route is through the richest portion of the State, and yet the country seems scarcely settled at all, as compared with the East. The country becomes more rolling, and dense iorests of large trees become more frequent, and line the road for miles; and the streams of running ' water, many of them of considerable size, occur oftener. The towns, however, as we progress, become less frequent, and have the appearance of building hast ly, though they look attractive and substantial, and many of . them present unusual evidences of thrift; and what is more remarkable, where the largest and most flourishing towns are now located, two years ago, the plow had not touched the. fcuiootli surface of the rich soil. At seven o'clock in the evening, we stopped at cno of these towns, the name . of which has unfortunately escaped us, for supper. It was a large hotel in connection with the railroad depot, and was intended specially as a resort for those who desire the benefits of the climate of this sea.-on, which is represented a3 being very fine. Here we sat down to the first palatable meal that is to be found between Chicago and this city. We had delicious white American rolls, none ot your foreign composi tion, as is usually the case, weighing a pound each, but. light, spongy and delicious: and then to' have wellcooked lowl and other meats, vegeta bles that hadn t been steeped in I sweet butter and "store coffee well prepared it all culminated in a " real knock down argument " in favor of the nlaco. - The meal was in all res-pecta well worth the Mice, and we left better satisfied with ourself and the world at larffe. than is usually the case after Datronizinsr one of these way station eating houses. It seems to us that it would hi a woik of real philanthropy to reconstruct the culinary depart ment in the West, if we may judge the character of all by our experience thus far. - The country along the road, especially fVoiu this point, is one of uusur passed fertility, producing all the sereals in rich abundauce. There is much more and better timber land here than in most other sections, and on this recount is more desirable as a plate of residence to those who contemplate coming West to till the soil and ally their worldly interests with those of a new and strange country. The laud for the mofl part lies in gently undo latin-; prairie; soil deep and black and very rich; well watered, and timbered with hickory, ash and cottonwood. The ruling prices of lands range all the way from S3 00 to $13 00 per acre, with only a very small portion occupied. The agricultural report of the State shows that but one acre in twenty is under cultivation and the population is a little over one million. Even that under cultivation is not in the highest state of productiveness; heuce we may conclude that the State would support a population of twenty millions! Wrhy are tens of thousands huddled together in the. crowded cities of the East and of the world, struggling for an existence, almost too miserable to coutemplate, when these inviting broad acres and undeveloped wealth is here ready for an abumlaut yield to energy and hard work? Speculators have, it is true, never stopped in very great numbers, but have pressed lur ther on, uuder the impression that away out in the wilds of the West lies the wealth. Sioux City, ever, seems to command attention. Large numbers the East have settled here, howmore from and others are expected soon to follow. The place will probably hi a few years enjoy some notoriety abroad for its business and connections. The location is favorable for the building up of a thrifty town. It is nestled down in a narrow valley, and is sur rounded by pretty knolls and bluffs of every grade. The citizens prefer to believe that at this point will be located the city. What on earth they can advance in support of such a be lief is incomprehensible to us : but they already seem to be well regulated blowers, and propose building the town by hu?e blasts oi wind. could, however, name half a dozen places that will, in all probability, always overshadow its growth We reached Council Bluffs at 7:17 A.M., and found the town building rapidly, and at the same time substan tially. Its citizens claim lor it a popu lation of 12,000 or 15,000, which w should judge is a eonsiderable'stretch or the imagination. It enjoys some advantages over its twin sister. partly in back country; and her property is cruelly owned by the citizens, not by eastern capitalists, as is the case here to a great extent. The JJlurts is called a slowcoach here, and will probably never have sufficient life to get up a rivalry with this iast town. Its relation will al ways be, in all probability, wha Rrooklyn is to .New York, or Coviog ton to Cincinnati. We reached this city at an early hour, by steamer, this being the mode of transfer from the depot of the Chicago & Northwestern at Counci Bluffs to this place. Omaha, aa w now find it, is very beautiful. It claims a population of 23,000 souls but probably has not more than 13.000 or 18,000 all told. It is situ ated on a slope extending westward from the ever muddy Missouri River that tortuous and much sung o stream, naviganie ior tne larges steamers nearly six hundred miles wes of it. It has for eight or nine month in the year, very prosperous and gradually increasing commercial trans actions. It is, as your readers are doubtless all aware, the terminus of the longest railroad in the world the Union Pacific and here are situated the main machin and renair shons supply houses, iron shops, locomotive nouses, ana other institutions neces sary tor the 'equipment and runnin ot a fcrst class railroad. These shops cover an area or iorty acres, Alon the river bank north cf iho 'oitv i single string of freight cars one mile in length, wnicn are constructed with tne expectation that the freight transportation wuuiu require tne use or tnem an, out wnicn, in, all proba bility. will stand and rot before thev win oe neeueu. do mucn.ior th Company's "great expectations. Connections are made by steamer with the Chicago and Northwestern and Chicago, Rock Island and Pacitio, and St. Joe and Council Bluffs Railroads at Council Bluffs. It has a poor paying street railroad, whose total equipment consists of three cars, one of which, however, does not run regularly ; good paying gas works, and every other convenience to be found in a city of ten times i(s population, when wo except water works, which seems to be an error common to most of our cities. Constructing useless

houses, &c, and neglecting as great a

necessity in tbis aay as water Yu!Vi strikes me as being the extreme height of tolly; and the people will discover sooner or later, to their sorrow, that it is as unprofitable as it is novel. Sr far has this great necessity been overlooked here that to-day, were a fire to break out in the upper portion of the city, with a strong southeast wind prevailing, the whole town would be destroyed, if there could be no more potent opposition brought to bear than a fire department, with no supply of water. There are three organized fire companies here, well drilled, but in the name of common sense what could even well drilled firemen do without a supply of water to second their efforts f A conflagra tion of two hours' duration would exhaust everv bucketful ot water in all the public cisterns, and then a further supply would be impossible, although the citv is surrounded by water. The nesrlect on this account is the more deserving . of con demnation. With the river near t hand and numerous hills well suited for the location ot a reservoir in the very center of the city, the work could be done witn compara tively small expense. Omaha ha; some eleerant residences, finer, doubt less, than those ot any city west ot Chicago: and also has two of the largest and most conveniently ar raneed business imocks to ue louna witnin the same limit, it supports three theatres, tweUe good hotels, three of them first-class and with a $250,000 talked ot eleven churches. four of them the largest edifices of their kind west of the Mississippi, a few flimsey Irame school houses, with what in Evansville would be the first Grammar school, as the highest grade;, one "Select" Seminary for Young Ladies." The City Council has, however, lately made a donation lor school purposes, and it is the intention, early in the year, to erect ten good, substantial brick school buildings one in each ward, which will be a vast improvement on those now in use. There are two hundred and twenty saloons here, two twelve-table billiard halls, and six two-table ones, oue of which is conducted and patronized exclusivcly by negroes; and numberless beer Kar ens, llents are outrageously nign, respectable store rooms being held at Irom ?80 to ?loU per month, and these high figures seriously cripple maoy of the most active and energetic business men. Cottages command c-.) to frio per month, and this extortion, (it is othing less.,) keeps the poor mechan ic and laboring man, wuo receives tarvation wages for killing work sav two or three aonars per aay .i lit i a most distressing state ot non-accumulation. One of this ass of persons yesterday said to us that the mechanic has no business west of the Mississippi River, which is doubtlesstrue. The country has not been sufficiently developed to encour aae and support manufactures. For a time the Union Pacific gave em ployment to 1.200 men, but uow proba bly employs about 200. We would be no friend to the mechanic were we to advise him to cross the Mississippi and come westward, but for the young man who is willing to pitch in and go about " rough and tumble, here the country. In Iowa ana this State there is room for millions upon millions. The former is indeed an Empire State; it has undoubtedly before it the brightest future of any State east of the .Uocuy Mountains, and Nebraska is not far behind it From Omaha south to the Kansas line, and west from the river for a distance of a few hundred miles, there can be found the choicest tarming lands, equal to the very best lands in Indiana, limber is scarce, but gooc spring and running water in abund auce. The soil is deep, black loam, and very productive. The climate has its sudden changes: yet it is not unhealthy as many suppose from tbis fact. The best tanning lands are lying idle waiting for- industrious occupants. The greatest need of this country now, is the immigration of good farmers to make Nebraska one among the best agricultural States iu the est. hruit growing is a success and only needs vigorous prosecution to make it lead all other btates. bait, coal, lime and good building rock in abundance. Of Omaha itself, it might be well to sav a few additional words befor closing this letter, binancially she is souud, and there is no city in the world of its population and prospects that has better banks, more reliable mercantile bouses and more hon orable and active business men. There areHwo daily papers published in the city one Republican and the other Democratic. LJoth ot them are large and ably represent a city of 20,000 inhabitants. There are a large num ber ef monthly and weekly publications also, leading among which we are pleased to note the Central Union Agriculturist and Missouri Valley Farmer edited by Jeremiah Behin. Esq.. a gentleman well known in Evansville as a culti vated scholar and energetic man He was the iounler.of the present n-MirishinK institution known as the Evarsville Business College," and conducted it for a number of years ; in fact, until he removed to this citv We notice no changes in him. in the years that have elapsed siuce then, and we are glad to note that he is in his proper enterprise, meeting with greater, success than his most sanguine hopes haa lea him to ex pect. The Agriculturiat is worthy a rank among the oldest publications ot the couutry, and has a brilliant future before it. We recommend it even to the farmers in the vicinity of Evansville, and especially those who purpose, in the next year or two, re moving to thej West. CLAUDE. LAW CARDS.
