No. !, Vol. /, of the " Herald of Freedom, very
neatly gotten up weekly paper, dated at Wakarusa'
Kansas Territory, Saturday, Oct. 81, 1854. This
paper, although hailing from Kansas Territory, is
evidently gotten up at Buffalo, N. York. and intend
ed less for circulation the Territory than as an
organ of the Free Soil emigration leaders, for the
purpose of stimulating emigration OF a certain char
acter, with the view of moulding the destnes of the
future State, which in very short time Will De ap-

We are indebted to the courtesy of Mr.. McRae for
copy of the London Times Of the Goth ult. AS he
arrived in the Arabia, at New York. on Friday, and
proceeded Immediately to Washington, ii is more
than probable that he is the bearer Of dispatches 10

that effect, although without any certain information.
It is scarcely probable that he will return to his post
without avang himself of the opportunity of Wis

will receive cordial welcome.
