They may be found at Fick's store, Emporia. Women in Kanzas. Mrs. Susan E. Wattles of Lawrence, Kan zas, invites her sisters in the States to come to Kanzas and "take claims, and make themselves independent" She speaks of three young women who have pre-empted claims, one of whom has paid for her claim and received the requisite papers from the Land Office. Few women, however, will be likely to accept this sisterly invitation, and those few must be emphatically "strong minded." A capital of 8400 or 8500 is necessary, at the outset, to pay for a claim, erect a. cabin, furnish it, fence in pirating ground,fec. The sale of a quarter to a half of the claim (160 acres) Would refund this money, however, according to Mrs. Wattles, and leave the fair pre-emptor with an independent home. But then neigh-: bors may be half a mile or more distant, fever and ague will vary the monotony, and society and religious worship will bo luxuries to be obtained only in the princi pal settlements. However Mrs. Wattles may look upon such a prospect, women in general, even the poorest, would hardly seek "independence" at the sacrifice of those comforts and appliances so essential to wom an's happiness. Young men who are out of employment are the right persons for such "life on the border," and would find health, competence, and independence, by the cultivation of a "quarter lot almost anywhere in Kanzas. Botton Journal, The Sugar Cane in Wisconsin. We were shown to-day a sample of syrup from the sorgho sucre, made by J. A. Barns backer, of Troy, which recently took a premium at the Edwardsville fair against one or two other competing speci mens. l is thicker than any we have yet seen, has a lighter, clearer color, and to the taste possesses a larger share of saccharine property. The producer, we learn, Is san guine from his experiment that the article can be cultivated with profit, and anticipates a time not far distant, when it will be an article of extensive growth and - consump tion. Apart from its saccharine . yield, he thinks the cane may be most profitably used frr an other purpose, the feeding of stock. The canes, k is supposed, will make excel lent fodder and the stalk in its green state ".consumed hyihogs with the greatest ap .pareat relish. He also infers that in this latitude there ay be a yield of two crops .per season, ithe last of which will be availa ble fox -sUxik .feeding only. Wm. Barns- backer has bd remarkable success in his presmt experiment. From half an acre of "ane, of which one-fourth was not sound and fully ripened, he made forty gallons of -6JTU3), losing, fee thanks, in its manufacture, half 3 aire by imperfect pressing. The boiling and cleansing was done by the same process which is applied in making molasses from maple sagar. .Wisconsin Republican. Spcciut.

State people of this county is a LileU db gross insult upon its inhabitance fc will loner be remebered I notice in the Kansas news of Yesterday that a free State meeting was held at Kansas centre on the first inst Persuant to a Previ ous call for the purpos of nominating county officers. I ask where did said call come from fc I can easily answer said question." I ask how many of the voters of this county knew of said meetins & that is easily answered A few office seekers & none other!! Fur thermore the ticket said to result from that meeting were printed at Least two Days be fore said meeting and some of them were carried into a Precinct 15 miles west of this the day before said meeting. That is nothing less than Border Ruffinism not allowing the people to choose there own officers But saying I am the man for you to Elect I as a free btate man wholly denounce all such secret and underhanded way of try ing to get into office As for me me I carenot whether a man gives me his rote I didnot seek the nomination neither did I come to Kansas for the purpos ot getting my living from the public office and 1 am quite sure that any one who did came to a poor market thus far.

Emporia K T Extraordinary Scientific Experiment. ihe reporter ot the Boston iraveuer, while on his way to the scientific convention at Montreal, witnessed an experiment by one of the learned members of that body, which he describes thus : "We had a larcre party of 'savahs' on the train learned men, who, though modest, could not cover the scientific habit beneath any cloak of small talk. I saw one large, red faced, burly gentleman perform an adroit experiment at White river junction. He filled a tumbler half full of water, and by discharging a pocket pistol into the same, changed its color into a brandy hue. After holding the liquid to the light, he deliberate ly drank it 1 I understand the experiment is quite a common one. Sorgho. A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta says : "I have cultivated about three quarters of an acre of sorghum saccharatum for an experiment got about thirty bushels of seed, and find all the stock, horses, cat tle and hogs very fond of the stalks. think it will make a good substitute for green corn and oats, but the stalks will not bear curing for fodder, unless cut very often, and cured when small ; if allowed to ripen, they must be cut whenever wanted for immediate use. They are very nutritious when ripe, but much more watery than sugar-cane, and, in my opinion, the Chinese cane will never successfully compete with lour old fashioned sugar cane for the purpose of making-sugar." His Sat Aific Majestt to bk Elevated. The Louisville Journal has the following: It is said that Gov. Walker, of Kanzas, is about publishing a defence of his 'official conduct, his special design being to justify himself before the people of Missisippi and the South generally. Of course, it is very eass to back out from any or all the posi tions he has taken. But he may be certain that he can say nothing in regard to Kanzas to satisfy Southern Democrats without at the same time exasperating Northern Dem ocrats. Kanzas has to come into the Union either as a Slave State, or as a Free State. If it comes in as a Slave State, Northern Demo crats will raise the devil, and if it comes in as a Free State, the Southern "Democrats will raise him. Steam Wagox. F. C. Bartlett and brother, of Springfield, Mass., have just completed a steam wagon for use on com mon roads. The wagon will seat eighteen or twenty persons, and although its abili ties have not yet been fully tested, it is be lieved to be able to travel anywhere from ten to twenty miles an hour.

" When we turned our 'steps toward Kan xas, with' a "" view of matin"' it an abiding place, we hardly expected that during the season of fruits, 'melons,1 etc., we should find an abundance of such loxuries here. But in this section of Kanzas, at least, we can assure persons in the States, who are luxuriating upon the delicacies of the sea son, that our good people are scarcely less favored than they.' For a fortnight past there has been an abundance of peaches J for a much longer time there has been a con stant supply of watermelons and muskmel ons',' and those who enjoy good apples have not wisnea ior them without an opportunity 10 grainy iceir aesire. The peaches here are the finest flavored it has ever been our good fotune to have tas ted. They may not be so lare and beau tiful as . the more highly cultivated kinds in the States, but they are large enough for all practical purposes, whilst their delicious flavor more than compensates for any de ficiency in size, if ffbm six to eight inches in circumference be considered rather di minutive. But the watermelons ! their size is only equaled by their richness. To find them weighing, from thirty to fifty pouuds is a matter of no very rare occur rence. The apples are not equal to those in the States,' but we have not been advised of its being difficult to find plenty of persons who think them very good. And when persons get sated with . those orchard and garden luxuries, they can go to the woods and provoke an appetite by wild plums, which are large red and luscious, and wild grapes which hang in ponderous and purple bunches, tempting and beautiful. To friends in the States, Kanzas seems a far-off and uncultivated land, but we can assure them that as regards these delicious bounties, this portion of the Territory is far from being beyond the pale of civilization. We regret that this condition is not more general. In a large proportion of Kanzas the planting-m orchards and tyhng of gar dens has remained for the white emigrant to perform, but here a dozen or more years ago the Wyandott Indians settled, and bro't with them from the olden homes in Ohio, those tastes and habits there acquired, which now have for their results grain fields and orchards, gardens and homes. To these, the Indian pioneers, We are now indebted for many of the good things we enjoy. Our proximity to Missouri, also, enables us to draw upon her, so that our citizens may fare more sumptuously than they cold have expected to when they started for Kanzas.- Quindaro (Jhindoican. Colored Citizen Soldiers in the Bevo- lution. It appears that not only did negroes "do the State some service" at the battle of Bun ker Hill, but that they were held in much better esteem in the Continental army than some, at least, of their White brethren m arms from the Southern States. The following striking language is found in a letter written in Massachusetts, by Gen. John Thomas to John Adams, under date of 24th October, 1775: "I am sorry to hear that any prejudices should take place in any Southern colony with respect to the troops raised in this. I am certain the insinuations you mention are injurious, if we consider with what precip itation we were obliged to collect an army. In the regiments at lloxbury the privates are equal to any that I served with m the last war. Very few old men, and, in the ranks, very few boys. Our fifers are many of them boys. We have some negroes, but 1 look on them, in general, equally serviceable with other men for fatigue ; and in action, many of them have proved themselves brave. "I would avoid all reflection or anything that may tend to give umbrage, but there is in this army, from the southward, a number called riflemen, who are as indifferent men as I ever served with. These privates are mutinous, and often deserting to the enemy. Unwilling for duty of any kind, exceedingly vicious, and I think the army here would be as well without as with them. But to do justice to their officers, . they are, some of them, likely men." The said" letter is in the hands of the de scendants of General Thomas. Kanzas Bound. There i3 considerable "rage" for Kan2as in this vicinity. ADout huy persons are about to leave for that Territory within a few days. Very many of these seem to be born pioneers, judging from their love of it. The extreme cold of the last two winters has disposed many to seek a warmer climate. Those who have gone from Mitchel are strong Republicans, and they go bearing their lie publicanism with them, and they will give their voice, votes, and if it needs, their lives to make the State of their adoption a free State. Peace and prosperity be with them. -Mitchel County (ibwa) Republican. An Advextcre with an Acstralias Snake. The Sydney Morning Herald, April 29, has the following : "One day last week Mr. Hawthorne, of Singleton, was outriding in the bush, when, seeing a kangaroo rat, he chased it, until at last the animal took refuge in the hollow limb of a tree. He immediately thrust his hand into the hole to catch it, but as quickly pulled it out, as something had bitten his finger. On looking at his hand he saw a death adder clinging to his finger. No time was to be lost; and Mr. Hawthorne, with the utmost coolness and fortitude, immediately took his penknife and cut his finger off. We learn that no serious consequence beyond the loss of the finger has resulted from the bite" Buchaxax Endorsed bt the Secessios ists. The Richmond South, a disunion paper, expresses its great satisfaction with Mr. Buchanan's Silliman letter; and says its friends, "the State Rights Democracy, those who condemned 'the compromise measures of 1850,' 'secessionists fec, " in approving the just sentiments con tained in Mr. Buchanan's late letter, have at once shown their attachment to republi can principles and their fidelity to the South. The endorsement is very explicit, and comes from an authoritative source. - - TfiE ScPPLT OF SCGAR IX FfilA2fCE. Mr. Walsh, in his Paris letter of August 6, to the New York Journal of Commerce, says : "Sugar is falling ; the best root factories will supply this year two hundred and forty million . pounds. The , Isle f Reunion (Bourbon) will produce one hundred and twenty millions J the French West Ifldies will probably send a hundred millions. ; Al together the supply will exceed the demand in' France. JSbrf Tyler put orTliis Defences It is most significant when such men as ex-President Tyler are called up to defend themselves against the charge of having oeen. untaithful ttf the South. - It indicates very great progress in the politics ' of that ena 01 the Union, and progress not in the Dest direction. It was declared m the late Southern Commercial Convention fhat the provision in the treatV of Washington. stiD ulating on the part of the United States for the maintenance of a fleet of eighty guns for the suppression of the slave trade under the American flag, was an act of discourtesy and insult to the South, and he final vote on the resolutions showed that a majority of wmeuuon loos mis view ot it. The treaty having been ratified during John Tv lers administration,, this censure has called him out in a letter of explanation and de fence, in the Richmond Enquirer? Mr.- Ty ler relates how the provision became neces sary upon our refusal to allow British crui sers to search American vessels, and says with pertinency and force : - "I shall be permitted to observe, that the remarks reported to have fallen from mem bers ot the Convention, in debating the main subject, are so entirely variant from the pop ular sentiment entertained throughout the Southern States, as I believe in 1842, as to occasion me no little surorise. Who. in 1842, even dreamed that there would be. as early as 1857, a proposition seriously made to revive the slave trade ? 1 certainly en tertained no 6uch idea, nor did, I am quite sure, any one ot the able and patriotic states men vwho were my Constitutional ' advisers I really, thought, and often declared, that the Southern States were more opposed to the slave trade than any other portion of our people. 1 hey had voted with singular unan imity for the act of Congress which declared that all citizens of the United States engag ing in that trade should be regarded, and. if convicted, punished as pirates. How it happens, then, that a provision introduced into a treaty to enforce a law, for which the South had voted, can be rightfully regarded as an insult to the South, I must say passes my comprehension. Certainly such an idea never entered into my head or heart. It might be worthy of consideration by the next Commercial Convention, whether, be fore they advise the cancelling of the pro vision in question, and denounce it as an insult to the South, they should not first repeal the law relative to piracy in regard to the slave trade." The following is the creed of John Mitch el's new paper : "Holding that the institution of negro slavery is a sound, just, wholesome institu tion ; and, therefore, that the question of re-opening the African slave trade is a ques tion of expediency alone, the conductors of the Southern Citizen will, in view of the late action of the Southern Commercial Convention, at Knoxville, apply themselves to search out and bring to light all accessi ble information bearing upon that important subject, on the whole industrial condition and necessities of the South, on the actual state of the negro race of Africa, and on the policy and action of European powers in reference to the slave trade. Beeciier on TH.E Bors. The "star" wri ter of the Independent has been devoting an essay to boys. He says : "The real lives of boys are yet to be written. The lives of pious and good boys, which enrich the catalogues of our great publishing societies, resemble a real boy's life about as much as a chicken picked and larded, upon a spit and ready for delicious eating, resembles a free fowl in the fields. With some few honorable exceptions, they are impossible boys, with incredible good ness. Apples that ripen long before their time are either diseased or worm-bttten." SAtAKtc DeSioCrAct. The following re solution was adopted by the Democratic State Convention of Wisconsin, which met at Madison on the 27th ultimo : Resolved, That we are unalterably op posed to the extension of suffrage to the ne gro race, and will never consent that the odious doctrine of negro equality shall find a place upon the statute book of Wisconsin. Help tor the Fillibusters, A Mobile paper says 8150,000 have been raised in Georgia in aid of Walker's proposed descent upon Nicaragua. In anticipation of an attack from Fillibus ters, Costa Rica has decreed the expected expedition of General Walker to be piratical, and those who participate in it will be pun ished with death.
