COLONIZATION OF KANSAS.

We noticed on Saturday, that an ai.emp,
was being mado in many of the northern and
eastern slatos 10 organize societies for the pur-
pose of sonding emigrants to Kansas. Seye-
raj companies have already started for their
now home, and tho probability now is strong
that many moro largo bodies of pioneers will
be sent forward in short time. The Boston
Company guarantees to pay the expenses OF
emigrants, or 800 each. and persons joining
them at intermediate points at proportionatc
rate. Some little information about this couil-
try will not bo entirely without interest to
those who arc locking with anxiety upon the
cast of character which that territory shall f.
nally assume. A letter written by momber
of the Friends Mission to the Shawnee In
dians. contains many important facts, from
which wc CLEAN the following:
II think if that country should all DO settled,
timber would be rather ecant there seems to
bo plenty of stone quarries which will be a
great help in building. &c., tho timber grows
on the river bottoms and by other streams.

lived, il was said y at thore was plenty thir.
ty or forty miles from there. heard of no
iron in that region. O.
They go up tho Kansas river, some With fat
boats. but | think not with steamboats.
Peaches are about as certain there os here,
(Ohl0,) and the Indians mostly cultivate tneni,
apples do well where they are cultivated.
Corn grows well there. Fall wheat is not
SO sure a crop there as in some other places. it
being sometimes winter killed. sowed some
Spring whea; tho two years was there, which
did we'll.
As for the river bottom there is not any on
tho Missouri, near Kansas. the Kansas may be
from one quarter TO o mile In width where
am acquainted
Tho upland is mostly prairie and great
part of it very fertile.
The country, there, as far as am acquain-
ted, is very we'll watered.
Now, believe / havo answered all thy in
quiries, I will make a few general remarks: In
the first place, viii say, that believe all new
countries arc apt 10 be oycrrated, when people
undertake to be guarded on that hand, which,
no doubt, makes my account of tho country
seem less interesting than it would, il some
other one had given a description of it. |
think that place, however, has ono advantage
over most other new countries. at the present
time. with regard to tho Market there are so
many passing through here on their way to
California, Oregon and New Mexico. Both
springs that was there, corn brought 80 cts.
per bnshel, and oats 40 cents"

Too MUcH NIAGARA. We saw German
youth perform foat the other day, with
street washing hose, which, we would venture
down the walk, and, for somo purpose, desired
TO stop tho strt am for moment, but there
being no pipe on the hose, he attempted to
hold it with his teeth! He succeeded pretty
well for short time but in an unIucky fit Of
absent mudedness, he released his hold, and
then ensued sconel lie seemed to I'LL up and
ran over in SECOND; his face assumed q pur-
ple tinge, his eyes projected, and bis hands

Of tho tube, he started to run, and 1t was only
when he had stretched the hose to its length
that it fell froni,the mouth; even then he did
not stop running. It was the most ludicrous
result Of stupidity we ever witnessed.

FEMALE PATRIOTISM.

"a good old lady Ia l775, lived on tho sea-
board, about day march from Boston, where
the British army then was. BY some unac-
countabln accident, rumor was spread in
town and country in and about them, that the
regulars were on march for that place, and
would probably arrivo in three hours at the
farthest. Thip was just after the battle at Lex
ington, and oil, as might be supposed, was in
sad confusion. Some were boiling with ragc,
and full of fight, some hiding their treasures,
and others flying for life.
"In this wild moment, when most people in
some way or other. were frigotened from thoir
propricty our heroine, who had two sons, one
about nneteon years of age. the other about
seventeen, was seen preparing them to dis
charge their duty. Tho oldest she was able 20
equip in fine style. She took her husbands
fowl ing piece, made for duck and plover,' and
with il the powder horn and shot-bag; but the
lad thinking the duck and goose shot not quite
the size to kill regulars his mother took chs
e, cut her pewter spoons, hammered them into
slugs, and put them into his bag. and he set off
in great earnest. but thought he would call
tor una moment and see the parson, WHO said,
We'll done, my boyl God bless you'll and on
he went 10 the wa y of his duty.
''Fhe otbcr was importunatc for his equip
ments, but his mother could not find anything
to arm him with save an old rusty sword
The boy seemed unwilling to risk himself with
this alone, bu, fingered in state of hesitation
when his mother thus upbraided him:
"'You, John, what will your father say, if
he hear. that a child of his is afraid TO moet
the British! Beg or borrow gun or you
will find one, child. Some CO ward dare say
will ce runnina away; then take his gun, and
march forward: and if l have heard that you
have not behaved like man shall carry the
blush of shame TO my gravel!
"She then shut the door, wiped the tear from
her eye, and waited the issue: the boy joined
tho march
"Such mother could not havo towards for
her sons She was indeed one of the strong
minded women of the Revolution-a patriotic

THE HOMESTEAD DILL.--A correspondent
of the New York Times, writing from Wash
ington says that it seems to be settled that
the Homestead bill will not pass the Senate
Many Senators originally friendly to tho meas
ure, have changed front, upon the feature ex-
tending the provisions of the bill over aliens.
and will not only vote against it, but use every
other effort to defeat its final passage Somo
wish it to pass in order to place all the respon-
sibility on the President, il being understood
that he would sign the bill; Notwithstanding

road, within fifteen minutes walk from the

bread, fresh from The hearthstono, and other
little delecaces, for her erring husband. She
stood at the bar gazing intently into the thick
gloom, where her manicled companion wildly
raved. Her voice was low and soft, and as
she called his name, its uttorance was as plain

tears strcamcd from her eyes, and there in the
dark house, the abode of the most wretched
and depraved, tho tones of her voice found
their way into that wicked mans heart, and

young and injured wife, while his heart found
relief in tears such oaly as man can weep.
Though the iron still bound his wrist, he placed
his hands, with their heavy insignia of degra-

brow of his fair companion and exclaimed
"Katy, willtry and be better man.. There,

and after he had finished she rose to depart,
bidding him be calm for her sake, with tho as

with his head dropping on his breast, u vcry
