Kansas Correspondence.
Mr.. EoIroR Since the passage of the bill
organizing these two Territories, the barri-
ers that ave heretofore prevented settlers
from coming in, have been thrown down,
and they are now rambling in every direc
tijn, prospecting, as they would say in Cal
forna picking out locations by marking on .
trees the initials of their names; and in the /
absence of these, planting posts or stakes to
indicate their metes and bounds, varying in |
quantities fdcm 80 to GAO acres as near as /
they can guess.
The military and Onioers of the Indian
Department do not interfere with their ope-
rations while confined TO the unappropriated
lands in either Of the Territories. This
strife and racing for choice tracts are fruit
tul sources for disputes and bitter contention
settled sometimes by resort to the last
arbiter among HonDra6ts men, Coffee and
Pistols"
One came of last Tuesday in the Kicka,
poo country; but these Preux Chovaiers
eschewed this mode ofhealing their wound-
ed honor, as savoring too much Of Arsto-
cratic triaing and Dandyism.. They accor-
dinghy, for the nonce, adopted Whtskey, Ba-
con, Corn Do2ger and Ares, as being more
in accordance with Western taste and more
manly They used their weapons with ad-
mirablo skill and great dexterty; sometimes
with vertical stroke aimed at the apex of
his opponent intending to make him $50
! halvers,' sometimes changing to a horizon
tai swing, as thougH engaged in telling a
lofty oak, intending to sever the upper from
the neither part of the body corporate. The
issue OF the combat was, one left on the SAN
culinary deld hewn to pieces. | have not
learned whether the victor was captured or
made his escape. lfcaptured, he will have
to answer before the United States District
Court in Missouri for this demonstration Of
the spirit of chivalFy.
The government has extingui. he'd by ltea
ties with the Delawares, 6hawnees, k'cka-
poos, their title to some very fine lands bor
bering on the State: provided, however, that
! the President and Senate ratify them. OF
this, entertain but little doubt, as they were
made under the eye and supervision of the
Secretary of the Interior at Washington.
The Delawares have provided, in their trea
ty for the survey and sale of-their ceded
lands by the General Land Office, and after
these expenses are deducted, the nett pro.
ceeds 60 the tribe. This arrangement pre-
cludes all chPnce for pre- emption, or squat
ting. The Delawares have excepted from
sale, tract on the North side of the Kansas
river, 80 miles by 10, for their permanent
abiding place. The Shawnees have eeded
theirs upon different plan--at fixed min
imum OF 60 cents per acre. The amount of
land thus ceded is estimated at about mill
lion and half acres. The finest a9ricultu-
ial and live stock districts in the Western
Hemisphere.
II is probable that special Commissioner
will be sent out to open negotiations with
such tribes as own smaller tracts, for the
: purchase of the whole Of part, and to make
: some general arrangements to enable them
to meet the new order of things consequent
upon the organization Of the Territories.
A The frontier is swarming with emigrants,
and "the cry is, still they come. !" notice
by the papers that large companies and AS
sociatons are forming in the Eastern States
with the intention Of settling these Terrific.
res with organized Communities. Short
sighted menl They have already forgotten
the fate of similar companies formed some
years ago for combined, systematic and ex-
tensiye operations in California. They could
not keep up anything like discipline and
subordnation-no, not even till they reached
f the Eldorado. Some were held together
only from the fear of the common enemy
and dependence on numbers in the gener-
: al defence. Among many of these compa-
; nies even these potent considerations failed
! to hold them together. And upon their ar
Z rival were scattered TO the four winds of the

deadly and settled hatred to each other
Some Of these Companies are forming fol
the purpose ofthrowing into these Terrific
res Colonies Of Abolitionists to prevent, as
they say, the establishment of slavery.
