.Kansas TERRITORY.

An enthusiastic correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger who has lust made a tour
through the new territory, predicts that at The
merit Congress Kansas will be an applicant for
admission into the Union as sovereign
State to which the Jo,39,aiof Commerce adds
further prediction, namely: I" that she will
be free State is as certain as any thing fu-
'ure." Time will test the truth of these pre-
dictions. We subjoin an extract from the
correspondence Of the Ledger;
ST. JosErH, (Mo,) July 81, 1854.
Having just returned to this place from an
extended tour through large portion of the
territories of Nebraska and Kansas, l have
collected a large mass of facts in reference TO
the SOIL climate, and agricultural qualities of
the country, as well as some speculations in
relation to their probable future political pros
poets, which would, no doubt, prove interest
lug to your readers.
Of the two territories l greatly prefer Kan
sas, and it is, as general thing, better sup
piled with water and timber, and the soil is
equally good. The winters also are much
milder. Still there are tens ofthousands of acres
of land i'll Nebraska, which far excel anything
you ever saw in Pennsylvania. This seems to
be the general opinion, and the tide of emil
grafton which tended to Nebraska has now
changed to Kansas.
Only a few days since large party (some
hundreds) of Germans, who had started for
Nebraska, left the steamboat at the mouth of
the Kansas and entered Kansas instead of
Nebraska, as they first contemplated. All
the emigration from Iowa and Missouri is
now to Kansas.
The title of the Indians will expire in No
yember, and there are thousands of whites
who will then cross the river here and at
points above. TAT ferry some few miles
above here the ferryman informed me that he
had daily averaged forty families across his
ferry. This may seem incredible, but it is
true. AT least thousand persons from Iowa
alone are believed to have crossed the river for
Kansas between this place and Westport and
at this moment there are eight or ten thou
sand white persons now in the territory.
In twelve months there will be sufficient
number of persons to form State govern
ment and mark my prediction, at the next
session of Congress Kansas will be knocking
for admission into the Union as a sovereign
State.

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE IN Bos-
TON. AND LOSS OF LIFE!!

DIX EADFOL CA1 AS 4 NNVEIE AN OOo-
TON, AND LOSS OF LIFE!!
Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, the
two, five and-a-half story granite stores, No,
90 and 95 Broad street, forming the Eastern
portion of 1Ylden Block, fell to the ground
with a tremendous crash.
The inmates of the building were admon-
ished of the approaching catastrophe, by the
appearance of the walls, and FASTENED to make
their escape, or the loss of life would have
been large. VIM. Downing, clerk in one
of the establishments, was killed i'll jumping
from second-story window, and David Riley
aged eight years, and Margaret Riley, aged
ten, were killed by the falling ruins. These
are all that were known to be dead at nine
o'clock
There was steam engine in the basement
of the building, the fire from which was com
municated to the ruins, butt was eXtinguish-
ed without injury to the adjacent stores.
The buildings were among the most costly
and elegant in the city, and to all appearance
constructed in the most substantial manner.
They were occupied by Zimmerman, Hazen,
Co., Druggists, and by WINS K. Lewis &
Brothers, manufacturers of preserved meals
and pickles. The loss is estimated at $780,,

VERMoNT.-Ex-S Senator Phelps of Vermont,
who was one OF the original supporters of the
compromises, fugitive slave law and jail, !"
and lost his election to the Senate for the sue
ceeding term in consequence, made a speech
at the late District Convention which re-
nominated Mr.. Meacham for Congress, in
which he denounced the Nebraska outrage as
" unfortunate, ill-judged, childish and fool
ish, and said that it had done more to create
discord and foment fatal jealousies than all
that had ever occurred i'll the history Of the
government. This act of Congress, annulling
the Compromise of 1920, said Mr.. Phelps,
tends directly to break up the Union and over
throw the government. He earnestly hoped
that the people would lay aside all minor
squabbles, leaving questions of morals to be
cared for in moral way, and unite with the
great national party of liberty, and secure
freedom 10 territory not yet cursed with sla-
very.

The BEGINNING OF MoRMoNIsM.-Twenty
eight years ago, Joe Smith, the founder of this
sect, and Harris, his first convert, applied to
the senior editor of the Journal, then residing
in Rochester, to print his "Book ofMormon, .
then Just transcribed from the Golden BIZ
ble," which Joe had found in the cleft of a
rock, to which he had been guided by Wis
ion.
We attempted to read the first chapter, but
it seemed such unintelligible jargon that it
was thrown aside. Joe was a tavern idler in
the village of Palmyra. Harris, who offered
to pay for the printing was substantial
farmer. Disguised with what he considered
weak invention of an impostor, and not
caring to strip Harris of his hard earnings, the
proposition was declined.
The manuscript was then taken to another
printing Office across the street, from whence,
in due time, the original Mormon Bible !"
made its advent.
'sTall trees from little acorns grow"
But who would have anticipated from such
a bald, shallow, senseess imposition, such
world wide consequences To remember and
contrast Joe Smith, with his loafer- look, pre-
tending to read from a miraculous slate-stone
placed in his hat, with the Mormonism of the
present day, awakens thoughts alike painful
and Notifying. There is no limit, even in
this most enlightened of all the ages of knowl-
edge, to the influence of imposture and ere
duhty. If knaves, or even fools, invent
creeds, nothing is too monstrous for belief
Nor does the tact-a fact not denied or diguis-
eu-that all the Mormon leaders are rascals
as wen as lmpostors, either open the eyes of
their dupes or arrest the progress OF delusion.

FIREs.-The fires in the woods continue to
rage very destructiyely in various parts of
Penobscot and the adjoining counties of
Maine. A letter says that nearly all the
woodland in Coriana and Charleston will be
overrun by the fire if the drouth continues
much longer. The damage already done to
woodland in that section Of the State must be
immense in the aggregate.
About forty acres of the "Pine Woods in
Taunton, near Raynham line, have been
burned over within the past few days. The
fire was destructive, and occasioned great
loss of property.

ROBBERY ON STEAMBoAT.-We learn
from the CIcUeJand Herald of the 18th, that on
the passage OF the Crescent City from Buffalo
to Cleveland, on the previous night, the state
rooms Of many Of the passengers were robbed
of watches, money, spectacles, and various
other valuables. Among the robbed were a
number of ladies who lost all the money they
had. A great excitement ensued the next
morning, and Captain Pease, the master of
the boat furnished those ladies who had been
deprived of their funds, with sufficient money
from his own pocket to enable them to reach
places of destination. As the boat neared
Cleveland dock, the captain made signal to
officer Warren, who was at hand. and as the
passengers passed over the gangway, four sus-
picious characters were arrested. The fellows,
upon being taken to the depot and examined,
turned out enough watches and trinkets to
furnish an ordinary jewelry store. Not only
all the lost property was recovered, but num-
Der of other valuable articles which are sup
posed to have been previously stolen.
