Atchison.

The County Seat of Atchison county is situated on the west bank of the Missouri river, 40 miles in a direct line, but considerable more by river, above the mouth of the Kansas river, and 16 miles above Ivcaven worth and 15 miles below St. Joseph; it is situated at the eastern terminus of the Atchison and Pikes Peak R. R., on an extensive bend of the Missouri river, which it makes toward the west, bringing this place farther west than any other important place in the State on the river. The country back is very good and has a rich soil and is well cultivated. The railroad west is completed out as far as Nemaha county, and will soon reach the Little Blue, which will open a very fine trade to this already enterprising town. Population about 5,000.
