Interesting from Kansas.


Mr. Charles Fl. Branscomb, late Of
Phicopee, who went out as pioneer of
the first emigrant party to Kansas
from New England, returned to this
city yesterday. bringing very crafty.
ing accounts from the cmigranis. The
whole party were in excellent health
and spirits. looking forward confidently
to the full realization of their expec.
tatlons and hopes. They had selec-
ted and located themselves on beau
tltnl site for town. on the right bank
of the Kansas River, forty miles from
its mouth, where they had pitched
their tents, and commenced the con-
struction Of their cabins. They have
formed a regular squatter organiza-
ton, OF which the first President is
Mr.. +. Fuller, late Of this city: and
MIR. E. Davenport Of Boston is Secre-
tary. Mr.. Branscomb states that his
expectations in relation to the country
were realized i'll every respect; and
IN the abundance of of its springs of
pure sweet, and excellent water, it
tar exceeds his authorizations.
Mr.. L. states that if the entrants
push forward from the free States
they will not only secure to themselves.
easily and at a cheap rate a future
independence in a most ehshtful eli.
mate, but will also secure the new
State to freedom. Even the emf
grants from the slave States, who do
not carry slaves. will vote for freedom,
and the Shareholders themselves begin
to give itup that the State must be

The Last Session of Congress-

The results of this session show the
Congress to have been about the
worst material that ever assembled.
The Missouri compact was violated to
show the contempt Of the majority
for national faith and honor. The
treasury was robbed of ten millions Of
dollars for the benefit Of SANTA ANNA,
that a foreign adventurer might be
enabled to establish a despotism on
the ruins Of neighboring Republic.
The earnest petition of our own peo-
pie for onefourth of that sum for per-
lnanent public improvements, designed
for the protection of life and property.
was denied. The attempt was made
to plumber onc-half the States Of their
lands, in order 10 advance the claims
of an unprinciplcd demasogue to the
Presidency, and only failed from want
OF time to play out that game. Ruf>
fianism in every form has rcisned SUI
preme in both houses.-Pistols and
knives have been drawn, fists used
oaths belched forth, and the most FL
thy personal accusations banded from
mouth to mouth, on the floor of either
House, as if Congress had become the
collected blackguardism, rather than
the assembled wisdom of the country.
The more Distinguishing acts and
omissions Of the session were the fol-
lowing:
Two new territories were created,
and the Missouri compromise was base
ly repudiated.
The Gadsden treaty was consum-
mated, and the ten millions were DO
mated to SANTA ANNA.
The Homestead bill was treacher-
ously strangled in the Senate, and su-
perseded by IIUNTER's spoliation and
graduation bill, which was HUNTERS
ibid for the Presidency" aud which
in turn was contemptuously disregar.
ded by the House.
CoBB's land graduation bill was pas
sed, by which the price of lands will
hereafter be diminished to 100, IS,
so, %, ard II IL cents per acre,
according to the length Of time they
have been in market. This settles a
venerable discussion on that subject.
The Reciprocity Treaty with Can
ada has been concluded and ratified,
and necessary legislation to carry it
out has been adopted. This can
hardly be considered Congressional
measure, as the whole matter was O.
,iginatcd and carried through by the
Secretary Of State and his acts we're
only ratified by Congress.
The FIVE million French spoliation
bill failed by the inactiOn of the House;
but would have been vetoed by the
President if passed.
The eight and and a half million
bill for the qualification of the Texan
creditors, failed through the timidity
rather than the integrity of the ma
jority of the House, after passing the
Senate.
The ocean mail steamer appropria-
ton. amounting to 100000, was
defeated by the Insertion of a proviso
practically destroying the contracts.
The reorganization Of the army and
navy was defeated, probably for want
of time.
Finally, the appropriations of the
session have reached the enormous
aggregate of $65,000,0O greater
than ever before known.
TIE issues on which this Congress
will be tried, and condemned, are the
reputation Of the Missouri compact
