The snow that recently came, had in part disappeared; the weather was delightful, and our company, joyous and happy, left our city on the Union Pacific, Southern Branch K-, at 4 o'clock Christmas, morning.

As soon as the cars had started, it was very apparent that we should have a splendid time. All were desirous of contributing to the enjoyment of others, and by a proper regard for the feelings and wishes of others, everything was conducted in admirable 6tyle, and so far as we Know, to the satisfaction of all present. v---" Starting so early as we we could see but little of the country over which we passed, and it was not till we were within fifteen or twenty miles of our place of destination before it was But this was no hinderance to our enjoyment, for we have never seen a company possessed of more real good humor, and a capacity of imparting so much real enjoyment to others. At 8 o'clock we were at Junction City, and were escorted to the Hale House, where suitable arrangements had been made for our accommodation, and at 9 clock we partook of a good breakfast. To say that we showed our appreciation of it, would be repeating what all must know, especially after a ride of sixty miles.

After breakfast we procured carriages and started for Fort Riley, a distance of three miles and a half. But few if any of our company had ever been at the Fort, and all were agreeably surprised to find the number and character ot the buildings at that place. Junction City marble has an extensive and favorable reputation, nor are its beauty and excellency marred by the fine structures erected at Fort Riley. The buildings are very substantially and tastefully erected, and so arranged as to make them appear to the best advantage. After passing through and around the Fort, we went to a high and beautiful elevation to the left of the place.

As we went to it, and from it we had a commanding and delightful view of the surrounding country, which is more broken and uneven than our part ot the State. The high and rugged banks of the Kaw contrast well with its rich and fertile bottoms. Having remained there as long as our limited time would admit, we returned to Junction City and went to see the quarries from which the marble is ob tained. We found Junction City a pleasant place of about 2,000 inhabitants. They as a general thing treated us Kinaiv, for which they will accept our thanks.

About 2 o'clock an excellent dinner as announced, and after it the com pany spent some time in viewing tlie place, and at 4 o'clock we took the cars for Emporia. The fatigue of traveling and the ex ertion of the ladies" to entertain the company, we feared would cause them to feel little like making our return trip as pleasant as the first, but in this we were agreeably disappointed, ior hardly had the cars started when wit and humor flowed freely, and "music arose with its voluptuous swell' and our party returned nighly gratmed with the results of the day. Before reaching Emporia, on motion of. Judge Foote, J. S.

Danford, was chosen 1'resident ot the meeting, and upon further motion C. B. Bachel-ler, Mrs. J. H.

Gorhani and O. C. Mar ble were appointed a committee to report the result of the excursion. The following resolution was also unanimously adopted Resolved. That we tender our thanks to the officers and employees of the Union Pacific -Southern Branch R.

for favors received, and for kindness and gentlemanly conduct shown us during our excursion. mporia, Dec. 27, 1869. Letter from Americus. Special correspondence of The Tribune.

As the old year draws to a close, the people are preparing to begin the new with renewed interest in business. Three car loads of material for the depot at this place stand on the switch. I suppose it will be put up soon. We are to have a Brass Band here. A movement was started, and the meeting last Saturday night carried it far enough to make it sure of success.

The town proposes to buy the instruments. Christmas passed off very pleasantly. All seemed to enjoy it. The Christmas Tree at Mr. Goddard's, Friday evening, was grand." The house was crowded, arid all were merry, especially the children, who were wild with excitement over it.

The "fruitf on the tree was estimated at $250 00. Our school closed on the 24th, at the end of a very successful term. All seem satisfied with the progress the school has made. After a short the school will be opened again by Mr. Piper, from NewTork.

The heavy set tlement between Eskridge and Council Grove will require a new post office on th route. Daily Record.

Coal Peter Elford, who owns a farm situated about a mile nd three quarters south-east of Neosho Rapids, in' this county, recently discovered a vain of very excellent coal upon his This vein, we learn, is about twelve inches thick, and it is thought that it is an extensive one. Mr. Elford is making preparations to open a mine, and we trust that he may be successful in finding the fuel in great abundance. The blacksmiths of the Rapids, who liave tested coal from this vein, concur in pronouncing it a very good article. Ladies, Prepare The very great interest we take in all that pertains to the welfare of the ladies, prompts us to note the fact that some of the gentlemen of Emporia design making on Xew Year's day.

We make mention of the matter, so that the ladies may shape affairs accordingly. It is an old custom, we believe, for gentlemen to devote a part, at least, of the first day of the New Year, to "calling around" upon new-comers as well as old citizens and, it is one greatly calculated to make all participating, feel the better for having done so. We are pleased to know that the custom is about to be adopted in Emporia. The Ugliest Editor" Who is jIIk? We are sure, notwithstanding the invidious remarks of the News, of last week, that he isn't on the Teibune "staff." There are thirteen editors in Emporia, seven of whom are conducting Ileal Estate papers, two the Educational Journal, and four the City papers. If the ladies at the Fair on New Year's eve, do their duty and we haven't the least doubt they will in disposing of the dressing gown, to the 'ugliest they will undoubtedly "vote it to either one of the follow- ing named editors, Williams, of the News, Profs.

Norton and Kellogg, of the Educational Journal, Frederick, of Racbeller Frederick's Real Estate paper. All the other editors might as well withdraw at once. Such a quartette would "beat the oldest man in America." Gas Works and Water Works. We learn that a company will be organized in this city, before long, for the purpose of manufacturing and supplying the city and citizens with gas. We "are glad to know that some of our leading citizens are thus early moving in this matter.

For convenience, safety, and cheapness, gas, for light, is far superior to anything else yet devised for that purpose, and we hope soon to see it in general use in "the Metropolis." We are also informed that a move- ment iaon foot to organize accompany for the purpose of supplying the city with water. The proposition is to erect a large reservoir in the vicinity of the -teights about the Normal School build Ing, and, by steam power, keep it sup plied with water from the Neosho. Pipes leading from the reservoir are to be laid, through all parts of the This is also a move in the right direction. Such an arrangement would not be a great convenience to the citizens of the town, in the Mray of sup plying them with water for family pur- poses, at a nominal cost, but it; wpuld ns to have the mastery over fires, when they occur.

I I I EuoGLEa Plumb, we learn, will commence the erection of a two or three-story brick building in the Spring on the corner of 5th Avenue and Commercial street. This building is to be devoted to store-rooms, etc. Gov. Eskridge designs erecting a large three-story building on the northeast corner of Commercial street and 6th Avenue, in the Spring, the lower floor of which he'will occupy with Dry Goods, etc.

The second a nd third floors will be devoted to offices, and, we believe; a Hall. W. Morris contemplates the erection of a business house on the corner of Commercial street and 7th Avenue, early In the Spring. have not learned who will occupy; it, or what business will be conducted in -it. J.

F. Hedges has commenced the erection of a business house on Com mercial street, between 7th and 8th Avenues, which will soon be ready for X- E. Perlet is making arrangements to erect, the coming season, alarge two or three-story building on the corner of 4th Avenue and Commercial street. This building will be devoted to busi ness purposes. Denny fc Melton, Furniture deal ers, are preparing to build in the Spring, on Commercial street, between 7th and 8th Avenues.

The hight and dimensions of their bnilding we did not learn. Many other persons in town contem plate building business houses during next Spring and Summer, but we have not learned their names, or where they intend to build. The watchword of the "Metropolis" is onward and upward Thk Hotels of Emporia. We have read with pleasure" the many compli mentary remarks which the press and a portion of the traveling public have made, within the past few weeks, about the hotels of Emporia. They are all highly and deservedly praised.

Some of the papers have gone so far as to pronounce the Iiobinson House the best kept hotel in the State." How ever this may be, we can say to the traveling public that they will receive kind attention, and plenty to eat at any of the Hotels, With good newspapers and good hotels, a town must prosper. The Kansas Educational Journ al. We neglected, last week, to acknowledge the receipt of the Educational Journal for December. It is, as usual, filled with interesting editorials and communications relating to edu cational interests. We are pleased to note that the publishers have met with such encouragement as to prompt them to make the following announcement in their prospectus for 1870 "The publishers desire to say that the Educational Journal for 1870 will be enlarged to a magazine of 40 pages.

The reading matter will occupy from 28 to 32 pages each month, instead of 24 pages, as at present." This periodical is published at Em poria, by Professors Kellogg and Norton, at $1 50 per year. All per sons interested in educational matter; should subscribe for it. Cheap Fare. The A. T.

S. R. R. and Southern Kansas Stage Company have put down the fare between Topeka and Emporia to the very low price of $4 00. Persons traveling westward, and designing to visit this section of Kansas, should get off the cars at Topeka and take the cars of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe road for Burlin- game, a distance of twenty-five miles from Topeka, where comfortable and roomy stages will be in readiness to convey them to this point.

The stage ride will be about four hours in length. The cars of the above road will shortly be running still further southward to Salt Creek 12 miles we believe, south of Burlingame, thus reducing the stag ing to about 20 miles. We understand that the road will be completed to Salt Creek by the 15th of January next, This is a matter of considerable interest to the traveling public, and in thus re ducing the fare between this city and Topeka, the Southern Kansas Stage Company and the A. T. S.

F. Road will doubtless have about all the travel they can possibly accommodate. Prosperity-. The year 1870 promises to be a very lively one for Empo ria and Southwestern Kansas. A larger emigration of farmers, business men and artisans, will pour into this, the finest section of the State, during the spring and summer of 1870 than ever before came into it during any one year.

The indications all point to a season of unusual activity and pros perity. The many persons who came among us last Summer and Fall on tours ol observation, have gone back to their homes with flattering and truthful reports of the country, its advantages, etc. Many' of expressed them- selves delighted with our fine town and its prospects, and evinced a desire to embark: in business here. It -is now universally conceded that Emporia is, and will" continue to be the town of Southwestern Kansas with the favorable reports abroad concerning our town and country, we are warrant ed in believing that we may anticipate unusually lively times in this locality during the seasons mentioned. But we do not look to emigration, alone, to make' times brisk and prosperous, wu citizens are imbued with spirit of enterprise which will crop out and manifest itself soon in the shape of stately, aud substantial business blocks and tasteful residences.

The erection of these buildings Is what will contribute more largely than anything else, perhaps, in bringing about lively times and general prosperity. Mr. C. S. Lambdin was in town re cently.

It now appears that Greeley gave Mrs. Calhoun a letter of introduction to Beecher Beecher couldn't read it; Mrs. Calhoun told him that it was a request for him to perform the marriage; and he supposing it was, ran into a difficulty that is giving him a deal of uneasiness.

During the performance at the thea ter in Bristol, England, on the 27th there was an alarm among the audience, and in the efforts ol the crowd to escape from- the building, eighteen people were killed and many in ured "Rv the Rev. M. Hancock, athis residence. December 23, 1869. Mr.
