L lots, August 5 1855, in the above named
place.
Columbia is situated Oh the north bank Of
cottonwood River, five miles above its junction
with the Neosho River. The proprietors Sc
lected this beautiful town site, with view to
its future and immediate Importance; it being
central and surrounded byvast forests of timber
sufficient to support more dense population
than any other portion cf Kansas Territory
The country Immediately surrounding the town
Of Columbia, is now being settled by persons
from all parts of the Union. Columbia is loca-
ted upon the spot where now stands the great
Hard Chief Village, recently evacuated BY the
Kansas Indians.
The survey has been made by an experienced
surveyor, and all has been done with view to
health and beauty. The town of Columbia is
due west from the state line of missouri seven
ty-fiVe miles, and upon direct line drawn from
Kansas City, Mo-, to the big bend of the Ar
kansas River, at the point where the great thor
oughfare to New Mexico, Utah, Hua-wee, Cal
ifornia, Mecilla Valley and the Copper mines,
intersects it, settlers will find this town the most
desirable, and the country around It the most
delightful of any for permanent location, that
can be found III the Territory of Kansas. A
Visit to this town will convince the most skep-
tical that praise from us is superhuous.
The urgent solicitations of the citizens in the
vicinity of Columbia, induced the proprietoIs
to make the survey at an early day, as many
wished to purchase Immediately.
The best water power can be obtained upon
this town site, and we hesitate not to say supe-
r1or to any in the Territory.
Further information can be obtained by adj
dressing 7. ]. Adds, President; G. M. Simcock

ia 1t is a source of no little gratifca-
ton to us to observe how very obnoxious
Gov. Reeder is becoming in Kansas
even with his own party. His course is
sustained by but few-aye, very few-per-
sons in Kansas. Even the Abolition pa
pers that have heretofore extolled his of
fetal career to the skies, are praying for
his removal from office. The voice of the
people is adverse to his retention in office.
Let President Pierce for once, hearken unto
the cry of an aggrieyed people by ex-
pelling Reeder from the Office he now dis
graces. The Herald of Freedom, "rab-

glorious day was not celebrated in a very
becoming or appropriate manner in GER
tain localities of our Territory. In some
places it was hailed with outbursts of pa
triotism-in other places with boisterous
declamations Of treason and fanaticism.-
In Il e Infamous and polluted village of

The sly, perfdious, Goddess fanatics of
that sink hole of Abolitionism assembled
together. vented the yilest treason, and in
voked the most revolving imprecations upon
the prosperity and institutions of our Terri
tory. A silly, dry, insipid harangue on
slavery was delivered by some man cal
ling himself Robinson, after which The
crazy fanatics offered some of the yilest
and most execrable sentiments that ever
fell from the lips of man. The following
toast was offered by company of Boston
paupers-who came to this Territory under
the guidance of the New England Aid
Societies-known as the Lawrence Sharp
Shooters (s), and was greeted with the
most enthusiastic salvos Of applause:

friends, who will rejoice to hear that he
contemplates emigrating to this " land of

is young man of fine address, sterling

His social disposition, we can freely say;

forward to his return with the iveliest
emotions Of pleasure and qualification.

the impression that the force of the Allies is su

turn the fire readily.

more slack and caused little damage.
