Betirnoi System for tceights and Measures
Mr., Valtenare, and old acquaintance of the
American public, has petition prepared In
Paris, for the Congress Of the United States,
the purpose of which is TO induce our Cou-
gress 10 examine The French Metical deci-
NAL system for weights and measures, and
adopt in on a system similar in the United
States. IN France, the monetary system is
decimal, thermometer is decimal, since Ma
poleon established The conlierade and
measures oil length, surface, solidily, capac-
iy and weight have been decimal since 49,
40. The English parliament talks of ma
king their coins weights and measures OF
capacity ccniormed The decimal standard. -
There is no doubt that the decimal system is
the mos, convenient for business, and if
universally adopted, would greatly facilitate
the operations of Trade and commerce. Our
Congress made one good step when ii es-
ia blsed onr monetary system upon the decl-
NAL arTan$emenl.

A correspondent ofaihe Presbyterian says
tia, The proposed Territory Of Kansas lies
West Of the Missouri. II extends three or
four hundred miles, and consists principally
Of beautiful and fertile pairies. The timber
is mostly coafined TO the neiehborhood Of
water courses. There Is more wood, how
ever, in Kansas than in Nebraska, which
lies west ofiowa and more in the eastern
than in the western potion Of the territory,
where those treeless p aims commence iha,
stretch 10 The mountain. Tho scarcity Of
timber is the only drawback, apd this must
prevent parts Of II from becoming thickly
settled for long time. II would seem that
Providence designs these immense prairies,
stretching eastward from ihe Rockey Noun
tains for thousand miles, 10 be the great
grazing region Of North America. inst az he
does the Aissippi valley for grain, The gulf
States for cotton, aod the A,iaplic States for
mannfacluriag-,z upoa The lssgs pfairies Of
Illinois and Missouri, however, hedges and
stone fences are coming extensively into
use, and The same mode Of fencing will be
adopted in Kansas. Coal is known 10 exist
in different sections of The territorn, and ii
will probably be found in sufficient quanli
ties ior feel.
The soil is well adap,ed TO grass and grain
and in portions of it., especially near the
Kankas, river, there is s'excelen. hemp land.
Fol farming purposes, that portion through
which the Kansas runs, with its numerous
small tributaries, is esteemed the most des-
irable. The soil is surpassed by none in the
Wesi. and al no very distant day the valley
of the Kansas is destined TO become one of
tie most attractive 10 our country. tits Sit
ualed as near the centre Of our country, also
IS need be; Fort Riley On the Kansas, one
hundred and sixty mics west Of The Miss6u-

ore has been found also in this region.
