WHAT ELSE!
Perhaps the readers of the Indepen
dent bare asked themselves, what next
we shall have to say, cr whnt other sag
gestions to make, aa they hare perused
the already rather formidable array of
needs which we hare pointed out. WH,
9? there are "a vast amouBt of things that
mpaght to be done every where, and es
ally is a aew country, and we can-
. tell whea.we shall .have finished
attention to them. But for the
-wwit.'iw learo the sabied of towns

gmeral way, ia a former number.

"'bare those iaoeepeusable requisites for
I, the education bT.tae.Jiead and the heart.
School Hense aaL a Church.
v
Unfortunately for oar people, the first
settlement of the territory was made
"jrnder circumstances which almost pre
eluded the. possibility, and quite.so.tbe
- aaceeasful practicability, of propfrly
"attending to religions and educational
interests. The troubles which existed
'on every aide, shut out almost every
r.tbougut. but that one of self-preserva-
lion or sef-interet, or the success of
' certain principles and conditions of so
ciety; and even private religious duties,
and the private instructions of such
- yonth aa were ia the land, were very
generally neglected; and now the great
er die necessity for double activity in
tboth these directions.
Imt -
u Without tht remotest wish to call to
rcawmbraRce the scenes of former years
"when ill feelings wero engendered, we
JTay state what is a fact known to all
labservars, that the feelings which set
one claa against another, in other days
hare net been destroyed by the milder
reign of peace which las prevailed of
,kte in all hearts they lay like smoul
dering coals in many a breast, and only
aead a little fanning away of the ashes
to blow them into a flame. This ought
not to be. The past cannot now be re
pealled; its events are matters of history,
and the record mast abide; but the citi-
aens of Kansas should bury old grudges
and unite for mutual improvement and
the advancement of the general welfare.
We know of nothing so well calcula
ted to bring about harmony of feelings
and genuine good will among all partits,
as a unity of effort in building up a sys
tem of schools and a brotherhood of
; Churches.
'Lel men but blend together awhile
in the aame chapel and listen to the
'preaching of the gospel of peac from
.tha aame desk, and it will not be long
aatil they will forget old animosities
. "and become good friends. Or, let each
'assist the other in erecting edifices for
divine worship where they hold to dif
ferent denominations, and cultivate
these Christian graces, which are the
crowning glory of the religion of Jesus;
and be assured the moral soil will bring
Jbrtb other fruit than anger, malice and
revenge.' -
Or, let a community join together to
baud np and aupport a school for the
common education" of their children,
and this will aid ia cementing the bonds
of anion among all cln6t.es.
Besides' the good influence these
'things will have in making friendships,
"tljej are absolutely' necessary in them
elves. Jio people can get along with
at them and remain enlightened.
If a traveler passes through a coun
try, and every few miles comes in sight
f a school hoBM and a church, he is
at1 once. favorably imprevd with the
enterprise, intelligence aad morality of
(fee people; aad trie vert.
-We are pleased that tho citizen of
Kansas hare made so fair a start in these
direction; and we hope it will not be

of the inhabitants of Kansas themselves,
or for the credit of the territory abroad,

source of revenue for all time to eome.
And then the moral and intellectual
advantages are positively beyoud com
putation in dollars and cents.
Whatever else, therefore, om people
neglect or cannot perform, they must
not pass these by. Some things may be
put off- to a "more convenient season,"
but not these. They arc as essential
as food and clothing for the body ; for
they are to feed and clothe the mind
and soul.
Let, therefore, these matters receive

THE RAILROAD CONVEHMOH.
From the telegrapic reports which
have reached us of the doiugs of the
Topeka Railroad Convention, it seems
to us that the action of that body was
very greatly controled by the influence
of foreigners, who have je!fish ends to
attain . rather than the advancement of
the true interests of Kans-is. We may
be mistaken, hut looking on from this
divtance, it strikes us that the Hannibal
and St. Joseph railroad managed the
whole thin" to suit, themselves, and to
play into the hands of that road.
Now wo have not the slightest objec
tion to. the managers of that road u&ing
every endeavor.Jto make the most of
their investment, and thcmosl of their
road. This. is their right, and we wish
them success. Bur wc most positively
object to making Kansas a mere trihu
taty to thai road, or to have our lauds
devoted to building roads whose "chief
end will be to thow money into the
coffers of that company.
As we said in a former article, it will
he out of the order of the natural laws
of trade, for Chicago to become tlie city
of trade with Kansas ; and it is only
committing lingering suicide or bleed
ing our future state to prostration, to
invest in railroads which -can only Lave
ihi object as the ultimate one iu view.
It is the easiest thing in the world to
commit a fatal mistake in the beginning,
especially when capital ia employed to
blind the vision and prejudice the judg
ment ; but it requires time, and effort,
and sacrifice to recover from the effect-
of such an error.
, We arafor that system of policy
which will best develop our whole coun
try that which looks beyond mere local
interests and lakes in the whole. If the
plan proposed by the Topeka conven
tion will secure this end, then we are
in for il. We do not belief e it r. ill
we do not believe it was intended to
this end as the great objects to he
achieved by those who shaped the ac
tion of the body.
We fchall have more to say on this
subject hereafter.
Troubles iu Southern Kansas
A letter published in the Leaven
worth Timet of the 30th int., contains
graphic statements of recent troubles
on what is known as the Cherokee Neu
tral lands ia southern Kansas. It ap
pears fiom this letter, that, a few days
since. Col. Cowan, Indian Ay-m, ac
companied by a company of Cavalry,
sixty in number, commanded by dpi.
Sturgis, advanced from the south upon
the settlements on those lands, and
"commenced immediately applying the
torch to the dwellings of the settlers,"
many of whom had been living there
for six years without molestation and
traveled "northward with their work of
devastation and ruin. Nearly all the
settlers on what is called the 'Light
ning Creek Settlement,' were thus visi
ted, we make tne following extract
from the letter:
"They came on Cow Creek, a branch
of the Drv Wood, and there showed
the same relentless spiri. Tho news
of their destructive raid traveled before
them, and the settlers on the Dry Wood
rallied to the number of three or four
hundred, who kcnl a corami'icc of con
ference to visit the "Col." The com
mittee contended that whatever might
be his right to disturb the settlers furth
er South, that they, on ihe Dry Wood,
were on what it called the "eight, raije
strip," and that they were on no part
of the Cherokee tract.bul on lands now
subject to pre-emptbn. At least, thev
contended that, since thai question was
yet in a measure unsettled, they
should be favored, and allowed to re
main until a new survey could be made,
and the whole matter legally adjusted.
"To hasten our particulars, some
thing' that hey call a "treaty" was
finally agreed to, aad a writu-p p.'edge
was sigud on the part of the, citizens
mat inev wouiu aoanuon uiai uisirizi
previous to the 85th of"November next.
provided ihe agent would spare their
dwellings al Ibis time, and leave the
country. Accordingly, the inccauury
itbdiew, but threatened Uiem in tbis
wise, as he was leaving : that, if every
man of them did not leave before the
Hay specified, he would burn not ouly
their houses next time, but all their
feed, grain, and everything lie could
find valuable.
"When tbis aews came to our citi-
tens in this pertien of the eonoty, they j
immediately sent down delegations to
learn the facts and report. Some of
those gentlemen have returned, and re
port a most distressing scene. Seventy
four houses have been burned, nnd at
least one hundred families turned out
upon the bare prairies, all by that subtle
acquaintance of ours called the power
of the Federal Government. I have,
during the last twenty-four hours, con
versed with at least twenty persons from
that country, and nil give it as the sad
dest scene ever witnessed in Kansas.
Women and children are now sheltered
in the bushes along the creeks, mourn
ing their hard fate. They feel discon
solate almost sick of life. Some say
they would as soon die as leave the
country they have been laboring so hard
to improve during the last six years.
In fact.the whole community are quite
discouraged, and know not what to do.
They almost feel deserted as cast out
from everybody. If they don't belong
to Kansas, or to anywhere else, and no
arm appeals to protect them, or show
them any sympathy in this sad hour,
what, they ask, is to be their fate "?"
The Timet says the letter is from an
entirely reliable source, but seems to
be of the opinion that the representa
tions of its correspondent were made
under the influence of the prevailing
excitement, and may be somewhat ex
aggerated. This opinion, wc doubt not,
is correct, at least, we are rather in
clined to believe so.and hope that such
is the case.
RELIi-F C0FVJJJTI0N.
Below we publMi a call for a Terri
torial Relief Convention, to be held at
the Eldridge House, in Lawrence, on
Wednesday, November 14th, 1860.
Wc learn from the Leavenworth
Time that it is not the design of this
movement to interfere xwiih anY efforts
now being made to secuic the same
object, "but merely U unite tie labors
of the different counties upon some
xystematic and organised plan for the
whole Territory.' The co operation
of all localities, and particularly of the
relief committees of the several coun
ties, is cordially invited.
The object of this convention is a
laudable one. A systematic organiza
don to procure rejjef for, the destitute
portion of our fellow titizens.will great'
ly facilitate the procuring of aid from
the Stales. We hope the Jefferson
County Relief Socieiy will be represent
ed in that convention.
CALL FOR A RELIEF CONVEN
TION. The undersigned, a committee ap
pointed by a Relief Meeting of the cit
izens of Leavenworth County, hereby
request that a Convention bo held at
the Eldridge House, in Lawrence, of
members of the Relief Committees of
the several counties.un Wednesday, the
14lh November, 1860, to ascertain, ap
proximately, the aggregate amount of
reliel needed by the people of Kan.as
for present subsistence, and for seed for
the coming Spring, and to determine
upon a general plan and org-mizitioii
to supply it. We ask thai persons at
tending such meeting, bring to it as
much and as exact information as thev
can respecting tho wants of their sev
eral counties and that, when there is
no Reliei Committee in any county. the
citizens be requested to send at leai
one delegate to snch Cnnveii'iou.

left on the earth, bat the loviBg soul is
at rest. In the midst of sorrow there
is consolation, for the lovedoae is
where th. bier au never come;i and we
bow our 'head's with' grief, but.Jifi up
the spirit with gladness that the pain
is .all endured here while jthe bliss is
enjoyed across oa the other side of the
