APPEARANCE OF THE COUNTRY.

Prom the Indianapolis Sentinel June 20i
We conversed few days since with gentleman
who had just returned from visit Of observation to
Nebraska and Kansas. He informs rs that thor0
are hundreds Of families moving into these new ter
rtories daily. Kansas, which is the southern ter
riory is the great point Of attraction The soil IL
better and the climate more congenial. No s0ouec
IS an Indian treaty made and confirmed, than the
whole purchase is staked out with claims. He stated
another fact significant Of the future, which WAS
that no slaves are going into that country. No
effort will be AIDE by the people from the South TO
make them, or either of them, slave territories,
Why should they, The country is vast fertile
plain, much Of 1T destitute OF timber, and adapted
only to grazing purposes. Slavehol iers can take
their chattes to the sugar and cotton growing dis

free territories have been added to the Union. 4,

Mexico, Utah, Kansas and Nebraska will be- made
free States.

holders and those who are opposed to slavery.
Claims to choice tracts Of land are being made %
over the Territory, and it frequently occurs that
there Is conflict of title. As the entire occupancy
by brute force. The pistol and bowie knife become
the arbiters and their record of proceedings Nm 81
written in blood. To show that this has already
commenced, we copy the following from the Inds-
pendence, (Mo.,) Messengr:-
"Me learn that, since the passage Of the bin opeu-
ing this territory for settlement, some three thous-
and claims have been staked of to be occupied Dr.
virtue Of the bill. We are also informed that many
difficulties and furious quarres are arising smou0
the claimants. An individual whose name "a did
