My Dear Sir: Your letter is before me,
and as you suggest that “a general letter
for the benefit of the public at large
would be read with mneh ibterest,” I
propose, to the best of my judgment and
ability, t<; write to you at length upon
such points as you have requested infor
mation about, and any others that may
occur to my mind. As I have not yet
seen the last letter of “Montanian,”
which yon tell me was published in The
Son of the 27th ult., it is possible that
some of my information may appear as
“ twice told tales.”
A word or two in explanation of our
so-called “immigration society” in He
lena.
We have in this place a very large and
influential element of Southerners, as
■well as in all the principal portions of
the Territory. Our own experience be
fore we left the South, as well as what
we have since heard and read from
there,—more especially since the pas
sage of the Ku-Klux outrage, — has
satisfied us that the time has come
when it is a matter of most serious dis
comfort and humiliation, for a white man
to live in any of the Southern States.
Each successive day grows darker. An
indignant and impoverished community
might easily, by resort to the ballot-box,
thrust such vermin from their Capitols
ns Bullock, Alcorn, Warmoth, and others
of that ilk, but who knows how soon
they may again be fastened upon'you by
Gen. Graut and his leechy crew ?
Aware that a large emigration was con
stantly flowing, and would continue to
flow, from the Southern States, composed
almost entirely of the best class of citi-
xens; and knowing that in everything
which they seek, Montana offers far
greater tnducements than can be found
in any other portion of the Continent, a
few of us have determined to do all in
our power to make known the extraordi
nary advantages of Montana.
It seems that man^of your people are
moving to the Southwest. Is anything
to be gained by this? Your condition is
bad, but is that of Texas, Louisiana or
Arkansas any better? Bullock may have
had worse luck in being exposed, but is
he a greater or more oppressive rascal
than either Clayton, Warmoth or Davis?
I cannot see bow a Southerner can im
prove his surroundings so long as he re
mains in any one of the Gulf States.—
Scarcely a day passes that I do not re
ceive letters from citizens of Texas,
making inquiries in regard to our Ter
ritory, and stating that they have hoped
against hope for better days in Texas,
until at last they have ceased in despair
to look for a brighter future, and that
they have determined to move to a coun
try where reconstruction is a thing prac
tically unknown. i
After this exordium, let us come to
yonr letter. Your first inquiry is con
cerning
THE CLIMATE AND RANGE OP THE THER
MOMETER.
It is, doubtless, difficult for Southern
ers to understand how a country so far
North as this can have a climate which,
for mildness, agreeableness and salu-
briety, is said by every one acquain
ted with it to surpass, by far, k that of
any of the Middle States, Kentucky or
Missouri; but that such is the case, is
the unqualified testimony of every one
who has ever visited or lived in Montana.
Occasionally oar thermometer gets very
low—almost low enough to freeze—but
this severe cold is of rare and brief oc
currence; and, even at its worst, I do
not consider the inconvenience so great
as you experience on those cold, wet,
drizzly, muddy days, so frequent in the
South. A friend near me says that he
spent the winter of ’65 and 66 in Augus
ta, and every winter during and partly
since the war in other portions of the
South, and that he much prefers our
dry, bracing, healthy winter months to
your damp, depressing, chilling and kill
ing Southern hibernations.
You must remember that we have
ABSOLUTELY NO BAIN
during the winter, and this peculiar dry
ness is one of the principal causes of our
immuntiy from cold. The philosophy of
this is readily seen, for any one knows
how much more we suffer on a damp,
cold day, than on a dry one, when the
thermometer is at the same temperature.
Though snows remain all winter in the
more elevated mountain ranges, and in
plain view, yet, in the valleys, where are
i'onnd all agricultural settlements, when
the snow fails, it is rarely more than
at a depth of a couple of inches,
and it seldom remains upon the ground
more than a day or two at a time.
October, 49 degrees; November, 42 de
grees; December, 26 degrees.
During the whole thirteen months, the
thermometer noon was below zero only
on five days, and an average of these
five days is 12 degrees. The coldest da^
was on the 17th of January, when the
thermometer went down to 26 degrees.
At noon, though, the next day, it was
20 degrees. The hottest day of the year
was on the 31st of July, when the ther
mometer, in the shade, recorded 98 de
grees above zero, though that morning
it stood at 54 degrees.
The temperature for the seasons com
mencing with December, ’69, gives the
following average: Winter, 32 degrees;
spring, 54 degrees; summer, 77 degrees;
autumn, 53 degrees. This will give a
mean average temperature for the sea
sons of about 54 degrees.
The correctness of the above observa
tions can be relied upon implicitly, as
they were made by one of our most
trustworthy, intelligent and respected
citizens, and without any view what
ever to publication. I have not, in
my possession, or at my command,
any records of a date more recent than
the above, but by consulting Commis
sioner Raymond’s Mining Statistics for
1870, published by the Government,
pages 256 and 257, an elaborate sketch
will be found of the temperature and
climate of Montana, kept from the
year 1857 to that of 1869 inclusive, from
which it appears that the year 1870 was
but an average one in mildness. No
Southerner need have any fears whatever
of our climate; and one year’s residence
will convince any of them that in this
.regard, as well as many others, the Terri
tory is the most favorable location to be
found in the United States. Bv coming
in the spring, the most auspicious of
all times for immigration, one need
not anticipate the slightest inconvenience
from acclimation.
OUR PEOPLE.
Montana was organized as a Territory
in the spring of 1864, subsequent to tbe
wonderful discoveries of Bannock, Gold
Creek and Alder Gulch—the richest gulch
every discovered in any country. By far
the largest. porportion of the early im
migration were men of Southern sympa
thies, who, . during or after the war,
sought this country as a refuge. The
original discoverer of Last Chance Gulch,
in which Helena is situated, was “ Uncle
Johnny” Cowan, an old miner
PROM NORTH GEORGIA.
For six years, both branches of
the Council and the Rep
resentatives have been Democratic, and
though during the past summer, on is
sues purely local, a Republican delegate
was elected to Congress, yet the Terri
tory is still overwhelmingly against every
thing that is Radical. Our people are
orderly and law-abiding, and I do not
believe that in any of the old States is
life and property so secure as in Mon
tana.
An excellent school-law is upon our
statute-book, and in every settlement
where the number of children justifies it,
good schools arc carried on from seven
to nine months in the year.
Until recently, church privileges have
been confined to our larger towns and a
few favored neighborhoods, but a large
reinforcement of preachers has come to
ns this fall, and hereafter none need com
plain on this account.
Helena, Deer Lodge, Virginia City,
Bozeman and Fort Benton are connected
by telegraph with the rest of mankind;
and here, in Helena, we receive our daily
news from all parts of the world, through
the Associated Press and the issue of two
daily papers, just as promptly and fully
as you do in Atlanta.
Our market affords, at prices far more
reasonable than one would expect, every
article for which one may have use, from
a steam engine to a diamond pin, or a bil
liard cloth to a Valenciennes collar. An
idea of the price of dry goods may formed
when I tell you that the best brands of
calicoes retail for 121 cents in our market,
and sheetings at from 15 to 22 cents.
HEALTH
is a most impertant item. Without it,
life is a burden, even in Montana. I am
now an old man, (or was so considered
before I came ont here), and my per
egrinations have made me acquainted
’ .vith a large portion of most of the States
and Territories; but I do not hesitate to
tell you that I have never seen anywhere
a climate so salubrious, invigorating and
healthy as this. In a seven years’ resi
dence, I do not remember to have seen
any cases of sickness—save such as were
brought to the Territory—which conld
not be traced directly to imprudence in
either eating or exposure, such as might
have been guarded against by a child.
I have a large family, consisting of chil
dren and grand-children, and I really do
not know when 1 felt any uneasiness in
regard to the health of any of them.
There are
All kinds of. stock feed upon the range j N0 diseases whatever incident to the
the whole winter long,- and cc ne out
“beef fat” in the spring, req •'ring no
attention, save such as is sufficient to
keep them from wandering off. Old Pi
oneers and Trappers tell us that the se
verest winter that has ever been known
in this section was that of ’66 and ’67.—
It was very mild, with no snow, up to
Christmas. At that time it began to
snow and tom cold, and until April fol
lowing the severity was unprecedented.
There was a great deal of stock in the
country. Shelter had been provided for
none of them. Very few had hay or
grain of any kind, and yet, strange as it
may appear, no horses died, and but a
small number of cattle. The only shel
ter that any of them had daring the
whole season, was the timber along the
valley streams. I do not hesitate to say,
(and I am not ignorant in this matter, at
least) that from loss or suffering of stock
from exposure daring the winter season,
neither Texas, nor any other of the Gulf
States, can show a record so favorable as
that of Montana.
I have before me a
record of observations
kept at the residence of the Hon. Dan’l
b carles, twelve miles from Helena, in the
fanning utensils and gone to work again
with all the zeal and energy of early man
hood. . , „
I certainly do not wish to induce any
one who is satisfied with his present con
dition to break np and move away from
comfortable surroundings; but, to those
who are looking for a location in the
West, I conscientiously do not believe
there can be found in the whole world, a
conntry so desirable to tbe Southerner,
in all essentials, such as cheap and fertile
lflnrlgj genial climate, abundant supplies
of excellent watei. congenial society, low
taxes, good laws well executed, and other
things.
It seems to us who are here and have
the means of being informed, that no
other country offers advantages such as
this for mining, manufacture, agriculture
and stock-raising. We have a wonderful
faith in the ‘^manifest destiny” of our
Territory, and we unhesitatingly believe
that the time is coming when Montana
will be tbe richest of all the States. The
wealth is here—the vallies for agriculture )
the mountain streams for water power;
the timber for saw-mills, and the gulches
and mounfains for all kinds of the pre
cious metals.
Many of my correspondents wish to
see a specimen copy of one of our Hele
na papers. There is no means by which
a general idea of the Territory can be so
well obtained as that of subscription to
a good newspaper for the ensuing winter.
AU of our Territorial papers are issued
at eight dollars per annum, but tbe pro
prietors of the Rocky Mountain Gazette
have agreed to send it to persons in the
States on the following terms: Three
months for one dollar, or six months for
two dollars. This is very liberal, and, I
am satisfied, not above the cost of paper.
I close by stating that any letters of
inquiry regarding the Territory, directed
to me, will receive prompt attention.
Owing to the great number I receive, the
tax upon me will be much less if persons
expecting an answer will enclose postage
stamp.
Very respectfully, yours,
J. R. Boyce, Sr.

An Appeal to Reason.—Health would he much
more carefully guarded than it is at present, and the
average of human life lengthened by many years, if
common sense and the light of experience were ac
cepted by the universal public as their medical moni
tor and guide. The true philosophy of health is
simple. It consists in refraining from indulgences
and imprudences which impair the vital forces, and
in supplying any deficiency of vital power and con
stitutional vigor that may exist, by invigorating and
alterative treatment. To reinforce and regulate a
feeble system, and to prevent a more vigorous phy
sique from yielding to unhealthy and debilitating
influences, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is unques
tionably the most potent of all vegetable purifiers.—
As a stimulant, it is the purest ever administered in
medical practice; as a tonic and stomachic, the most
infallible; as an anti-bilious agent, the safest and
surest, and as an aperient and regulating medicine,
mild and painless, yet irresistible. It is a protection
against disease of every kind, and all seasons, and is
particularly efficacious as a means of forearming the
system against the ailments generated by a raw,
damp,ung«>Tiial atmosphere. Hence its great value
as a winter tonic and invigorant. No one predis
posed to indigestion, billiousness, constipation,
rheumatism or nervousness, headache, should ever
be without this Vital Elixir. As a certaiq. class of
country dealers are very anxious to dose their cus
tomers with “local bitters,” of a worthless or perni
cious character, which they represent to he equal or
superior to the great national tonic, the public is
hereby forewarned against their “tricks of trade.
COUNTRY,
and I regard our climate and hot-springs
combined as infallible cures of rheuma
tism. A case of leprosy in Georgia
would create no more surprise than
would a real, unqualified shaking ague
with ns. If yon have given any study to
the pathology of pulmonary complaints,
you J[sre aware of the varieties of
tlie. disease, and that while one will
derive benefit from such a climate as
Florida, another will be materially in
jured. But, I believe, where the lungs
are not seriously, almost hopelessly,
affected, that with plenty of open air ex
ercise, and the total renunciation of
medicine, a residence in Montana can be
considered as a certain core forallpnlmo
nary diseases. So far as Asthma is con
cerned, I suppose that this country never
fails to effect a radical and permanent
cure. It is really wonderful to see the
maimer in which old men
renew their youth
in coming to our Territory. I know men
who some time since passed their allotted
three score years and ten, and “back in
the States” regarded themselves as laid
□pon the shelf; bat since their arrival in
Montana, they have shouldered their
