SETTLEMENT OF KANSAS.

The ST. Joseph (issourD Gazette of the 18th instant
mentions the arrival in that vicinity OF one hundred and
twenty three male emigrans, number of them having
families destined for Kansas Territory and who intend
settling Kansas river, about forty miles from its
mouth They were all from tho Northern States were
well fitted out looked comfortable and happy, and had
with them band of music. They formed no doubt one
Of the parties which recently emigraed from Massachu-
sets and New York. The Gazette adds:
"The now Territory Of Kansas is destined at no dis
tant day become State. Emigrants pouring into
the country and will settle every fair and desirab
spot in the Territory Much the largest portion Is pra
RE, bat great deal of that will be brought into
cultivation by the adventurous spirit and energy Of the
go-ahead people of this age and country Many have
learned they do with but little timber in opening and
cultivating prairie farms. Hence they do not fear
wend their way and settle upon the prairie lands.
-" Men and women, from the North, East, West and
South, settling in this fair Territory laying their
claims and erecting their cabins and before another
msr shall have passed and gone we will see that beau
full country dotted with farms, settled by indus
trous energetic and thriving population The log cabin
and the schoohouse will have taken the place of the
rude Indian wigwam. Churches will be built up and
newspapers in successful operation where but lately
vast uncutvated Wilderness occupied by rowing bands
of Indians; but, instead thereof will find civilized
happy and prosperous people, enjoying the blessings of
good Government"
The third party for Kansas, which left Boston Tues
day, comprised Of various trades and professions

his wife and three children with him. Of New Eng

by party Of thirty, they numbered hundred and
eighty, and others waiting Brookfed and Spring

passed the borders Of Massachusetts, Parties are also
to join them at Albany, Rochester, Buffalo, &c.

and the sayory crumbs Of Office do suffice keep

1t must not be thought by this tender of serious aud
wholesome advice to the emigrant that We place not
proper estimate upon the charms and resources Of this
great Pacific State In its salubrous climate its

Its towering mountansand fertile valleys California will
ever continue to be the cynosure Of these United Sass
It's mineral resources boundless its Its
lateral position with the Pacific Isles and Eastern Asia
WILL ere long, render it the cntrepot of their vast md
varied and rich products while the quick tread OF the
steam car will bring in close contiguity with its
Atlantic sisters But in its progress to this wonderful
ana rapid future there is need that any depart
ment OF business should be stimulated to its ruin that
merchants and lawyers and clerks and mechanics should
come here beyond the requirements Of the State and the
times. The State wishes and rewards aborers but the
labor must be adaptive in its character Mushroom cities
unsusained by nourshng agriculture or wealth of herds
or mineral development protuberant sores that rot
their own seethng corruption. One who strikes his tent
with the purpose OF emgratng elsewhere than California
drives before him his housedog and his lowing herds
and carries in his dsended pocket the means of
ing and improving his home. The same discretion
should characterize emigration to This favored State
Above and beyond all should the emiQrant avoid the tur
MOL, and speculation and misery Of our cities AT pre-
sent they afford but meagre to capital and enter
prise 1t is idle to talk of gaerng the products of the
Pachc until commerce obtains an easy and rapid
