the new Territory of Kansas and her flu

Fort Leayenworth is on the west bank
of the Missouri and in the new Territory of
Kansas. 1t is entirely military encamp-
ment, the only things that look like Forts
being pair of block-houses, with musket
port-holes,9 The barracks are extensive
and appear to be in fine order. The store
houses, &c; are also extensive and are sub
stantially of stone. There is a farm of ], )
900 acres that is cultivated by Uncle Sam.
1T is a beautiful tract in high state Of
cultivation. Corn and Oats are raised in
great abundance for the use Of the garri-
son, horses &c. The attempt was made to
cultivate this land by the labor Of soldiers,
but it would not work and it has been a
bandoned. The corn was excellent and
kept in beautiful condition. The landing
is of rock, and one of the finest and most
substantial on the river It is my opinion

tbs CRops IN IRELAND.-The ireland
Journals received by the last European
mail, give flattering accounts of the condi-
ton of the crops in all parts Of the Island.
Potatoes have been extensively planted,
and appear to be free from disease of former
years. The thinning of the population by
famine and emigration, is now regarded as
a great blessing. The old dull "moral agi-
tation" for tenant right goes on, while
the good harvest prospects and the high
produce are urged by the landlords as good
reasons for increasing the rents. The far
rners plant and sow, and the landlords en-
Joy the fruits. Such is the grand rule Of
