CAMEL CoAL-We have seen speci-
mems of camel coal of good quality, obtain
ed in the vicinity of Leavenwoth. Those
who are well acquainted with this article,
assure us it can be obtained in almost any
quantity within two and three miles of this
place. We also learn that some two OF
three thousand bushels of coal have been
dug out of a bank within four miles of our
town. Coal doubtless can be found along
the river bank and in the ravines in large
quantities. Taking this for granted, as
true, which no one here pretends to doubt,
it will make fuel but a small object, and
farms can be opened and supported with We
ry little timber. Who then will pretend to
say, that the Delaware country, cannot be
as densely populated as any portion of
Kansas Territory, The soil is unsurpassed
In fertility, water abundant, and many pla-
ces in the intererior well skirted with tim
Der. 1t now being ascertained to certainty
that coal exists in the vicinity of Leaven-
worth and in the interior upon the Dela-
ware lands, there is no doubt but it will
greatly enhance the value of the country,
and cause it to be settled with a dense and
thrifty population.

Governor. of Nebraska.

The St. Lewis News of Nov. 4th, learns
by Telegraph dispatch from Washington,
of November Cd, that WILLARD P. HALL,
of St. Joseph, Mo-, would be appointed
Governor of Nebraska Territory. This
would be good appointment, and give gen
eral satisfaction to all parties. 1t will be
unexpected and unsolicited on his part. 1t
was Mr. Hall, who introduced Bill into
the House of Congress for organizing Ne
braska Territory, and passed it through that
body and for want of time it failed in the
Senate. Mr.. Hall, has been twice elected
to Congress, is Lawyer, of eminent abil-
ity- with a considerable practice. He is an
energetic thorough going business western
man. We trust he may be appointed and
that he will accept.

DELEGATE TO CONGRESS

We are authorized by Gov REEDER to
state that an election will be ordered for a
Delegate to Congress to be held on Wed
nesday Nov. 29th. The proclamation is
not yet issued because of the difficulty in
defining the bounds Of the election districts
with certainty and fixing the places of ell
ection with convenience to the settlers. All
the Necessary information as to the greater
part of the Districts was collected by the
Governor on his recent trip through the
Territory taken principally for that purpose.
Some few of the Districts however as we
are informed are not yet arranged and can
not be for few days. The election how
ever will certainly be held on the 29th and
the Proclamation containing list of the
Districts and of the places of election, will
appear next week.

E1Oasi1ohegas City.

This town is situated on the Missouri
river, about two miles below independence
Creek. 1t is one of the prettiest town
sites above Leavenworth, we have seen
on the river, and will be a place of consid-
cradle trade. 1t is situated on big west
ern bend of the river, that places it
as far west as any other point. This
will give the town decided advantage
in commanding the trade of large por-
ton of the interior. 1t is 80 miles above
Leayenworth; far enough to grow and
strengthen with the increase of the coun-
try. Doniphan City has good landing,
with a rock bound shore, and gradual
slope from the waters edge to as beauti-
full elevated land as the eye ever rest
ed upon. Several fine springs of limestone
water, gush out in a bold, clear, chrystal
stream, in several places on the town plat.
The country back of the town is settling
very fast, and is capable Of admitting a
dense population. A number of enter
prising gentlemen are now laying Oft the
town. A large steam saw and grist mill
is soon to be built, also a Hotel upon a
magnificent scale is to be put up In the
spring, capable of accommodating at least
one hundred persons. Lots will only be
sold a, private sale. this fall and winter
In the spring, there well be public sale
of lots. This place offers great induce
ments to settlers and speculators. 1t has
the location and country to sustain and
build up large fourishing town.

seat of government Of Kansas.

Gov. Reeder has been on tour through
the Territory to ascertain, if possible, the
most eligible point for the temporary seat of
Government for Kansas, and up to last ac-
counts had not returned to Leavenworth, his
present head quarters. At this time is not
known what point he will select, but # is
confidently predicted by the friends of Leav-
enworth City, that it will be the favored
point. Our own opinion is that Leaven-
worth city should be the point. On a re-
cent visit to that place we were astonished
at the progress in improvement already
made there. The town is beautifully situ-
ated, and regularly laid off. and now pre-
sents, the anomalous spectacle of thriving
business place in a country not yet improved,
and inhabited by the Indians.
The above is copied from the St. Joseph
Gazette, and the opinion of the editcr is en-
titled to some weight, for he has made ex-
tensive tours through our young and -four
ishing Territory, and therefore has pretty
good knowledge Of which should be the
favored point. Although our town is a
thorough business place we lack some pub
lie buildings in which to accommodate the
Governor, and the officers of the Territory,
and also to accommodate the Legislature,
should the governor see proper to remove
it here. But they can and will be furnish
ed, if needed. But the proprietors of the
town, should go to work, and put up some
such buildings. Raise a subscription
Who'll give some lots, and who will some
money! Don't all speak al. once. The
time for action has arrived. Leavenworth
has many natural advantages, but we want
some public Improvements. If we would
do justice to our place, and those who are
coming among us, we must have houses to
accommodate them.

SaUATTERs ATTENTIoN.-Remember
that the Delaware Squatter Association
have determined to recognize>n claim. on
the Delaware lands, asvalid, after the goth
inst. unless it is occupied as the actual and
only residence of the claimant oriof some
person or persons residing on the same as
his tenant or by his procurement.
The object ofthe above resolution, as well
as its strict enforcement, must be obvious to
every one. A large portion of the coun-
try now claimed and staAed off, is unoccu-
pied, and may remain so. for some time. un-
less some steps are taken requiring actual
residence as test of ownership. 1t is not
right that men shall mark out and select the
best portions of the country and not settle
upon it. They thereby deprive US of large
amount of population. Shortly the census
is to be taken, and our election for men,
bers of the Legislature, will be based upon
the amount of population. 1t is important
then to have actual settlers upon every
claim. Besides it is not right, that men
should keep back the settlement of coun-
try, until time that suits their convenience
to move.
There is plenty of men who are willing
TO forego the comforts of home in the
different States, and share with the present
occupants, the perils and privations of
pioneer life in order to secure good home
for themselves and families. We say then
to all who have claims in prospective on
the Delaware lands, to come on and occu-
py them by actual residence, or otherwise
they will lose valuable home.
