unhappy in week, and would really beg for
something to do. Without work, time would

Can { be Bothered with small Matters.

Gan De 60LneroQ Win SllaH MdtIeIS.
The Gazette has been very reluc. antly
drawn from the discussion of more important
matters, such as the purchase ef hand
powcr press by the enterprising publishers
of that paper for the printing Of cards, and
its probable effect upon Burlington business,
and the completion of the railroad, to the un-
important and triding matter of the conquer
ing Of K .nsas ly armed men from the neigh
boring States mustered and marshalled by
the vice President. That we should draw
the editors of that paper from the discussion
of grave and imp ortant subjects to so SMALL
a matter as the mere conqueriug Of terri
tory, is to be regretted. And it is to be re-
GREETED that they did notice the matter at
all, on their own account. For in last nights
editorial, it is very apparent that that IN
dependent Journal has not yet heard from
head quarters. Ia nearly a column of spe-
cial pleading there is rot one point made, ex-
cepts" Popular sovereignty" Although all
this trouble has grown out Of the opening of
that territory to slavery-yet they still say
the principle is good. They have said the
horse was eighteen feet high, and are nov
ready to swear it is SO. They think it is
wrong for the people Of one State to inter
fere with the psoplc of anothcr-and to car
nv this out, wish to insinuate what they dare
not openly avow, that il would be improper
for the General Government to interfere
among the States to protect the weak from
the cupidity or malice Of the strong. Acccr-
ding to this doctrine not ayowed but insin-
nated-in case one of the sovereign States
Of this Union should levy war upon another,
there would be no other way to get along
with it, but to let them fghtit out.
1t is very apparent that the people of Kan
sas are not able to protect themselves or en-
Joy the ssGLORIOUS PRINCIPLE estab-
lished by the s'Kansas Nebraska Bill.' Now
the simple question i, have We govern
ment that will protect them in the exercise
of this s.principle?" OF what prac zeal ben
eft are laws, aud constitutions, aud ssGlo-
rious principles" where their peaceful en-
jeymeut 10 wrested from the weak by the
strong? When government becomes too
corrupt, or too weak to protect its subjects in
the enjoyment Of "lifs, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness" i, is near its end.
It is supposed by many old fashioned peo-
pie that security for life and property and
the peaceful exercise of the right of suffrage,
was matter of some Importance. Anarchy
and the supremacy Of mob law. have by some
been looked upon with apprehension as mat
ter that should address itself to T. e ssbosoms
and business of all men. But in the minds
Of the clique who control that paper il is Sec
ondary and trivial, too unimportant for edit
orial notice.

To Whom it NAV Concern.

We renew the notice which we have be-
fore made several times, for the informa-
ton of whom it may concern, that We
have no Agents ANY WHERE, for either
advertisements or subscriptions. Eastern
Newspaper Agents are not authorized to
receive money or make contracts for U.S.
We, however, hold them, as We do other
men; when they forward advertisements or
subscriptions, accompanied by THE MONEY,
we consider them friends, and I'LL their or
ders, if our terms will permit But when
they send their orders WITHOUT TUE MO-
NEY, as has been the case very often, we
hold them to be rogues and throw their
letters under our table. We send this to
all the Agencies we know of, and hope
they will take particular notice and gov
ern themselves accordingly. We cannot
spend time to reply to their letters.
The DIFFERENcE.--tt is stated that in
the southeastern part of Iowa, land on the
Iowa side Of the Missouri river, brings say
ten dollars per acre, while land equally
good in quality, on the Missouri side,
brings say FIVE and three, or in about that
proportion Such is the effect of the
different institutions of the two States.

THE MISSIONARY IDEA.-Thc idea ,oi
the world S redemption is the most sublime
conception Of the intimate mind that has
been revealed to man. We know not
what thought exist in the depths of the
Godhead, or what thoughts the Holy One
has revealed to other beings who dwell
nearest the eternal throne; but we do know
that no other thought, soawful and sublime
as this, has ever fallen upon the ears Of
listening mortals. 10 fully develop this
grand idea of Heaven, our blessed and holy
Saviour "trod the wine press of the fierce
ness and wrath Of Almighty God And
He, who thus suffered for the establish
mont Of this cause, gave the great conf
mission to go into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature. The sub
Unity of the idea is seen again in the
scenic representation Of the apocalypse
"Aud l saw another angel fly in the midst
of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to
preach to them that dwelt on the earth,
and to every nation, and kindred, and ton
que, and people" But it is not only
sublime in thought; it is also sublime in
practical operations. A commission from
Christ to preach the gospel to every crca-
ture, carries with'it the assurance that every
creature may receive it, and be blessed by
its holy mission. 1t contcmplates with an
eye Of bcncvolence this great prison house
of sin and death, and possesses the power
to rend the cells, and let in the light of
eternal day, assuring its inmates that they
are prisons of hope. And the results of
the missionary enterprise, many Of which
are already before the throne, are worthy
Of our God. Has the missionary work
proved a failure? Ask the millions of
redeemed from the earth.

Eof theml-They are murlerersl robbers!-

The villains had both lost their knives, and
the dogs had 50 wounded them that they
were incapable of resistance. With much
difficulty the animals were called of, and
the two men We're lifted to seat. There
was noneod of binding them, for they need
ed some more restorative agent, as tue
dogs had made quick work disabling them.
After they had been looked to, the old
man cast his eyes about the room. They
rested moment upon the body ofhim who
had been shot, and then turned upon the
boys. Philip told him all that had hap
pened. 1t seemed sometime before the
hunter could crowd the whole teemiug
truth through his mind; but as he gradu-
ally comprehended it all, a soft, grateful,
proud light broke over hisfeatures, and he
held out his arms to his sons.
"Noble, noble boys!" he uttered as he
clOsped them to his bosom. "God bless
you for this. 0, I dreamed not that you
had such hearts"
For long time the old man gazed upon
his boys in silence, while tears of joy roll
ed down his cheeks, and his holy face was
lighted up with the most joyous, holy
pride
Long before daylight, Philip mounted
the horse and started for the nearest settle
mont, and early in the forenoon the Off
GERS of justice had the wounded men in
charge, while the body of the third was
removed. They were recognized by the
officers as criminals ofnotoriety; but this
