view up and down.
This excellent position is distinguished from
all other towns on the Missouri in K. T., by its
great abundance of 6ne timber. It is covered
with thick growth of all the varieties Of the
best timber, among which Is prominent, large

There is noW Steam Saw and Grist Mill

The above is fulfillment of the old adage
"if you want the news of the torn go to the
country" Surprised that such piece of in
formation should not have been impaired to
the people of the State through some of our
own papers, we enquired of the proper author
tiles respecting it, and learn that no securities
have been deposited with the Treasurer OF
State as required by the Law regulating Gen
eral Banking in this State for any such Bank
as that named above. We learned from some
friends from Nashville that an office purport-
ing to be " the Bank of the Ohio Valley" has
been located at that place, and that articles
of association have been filed with the Secrc-
tary of State, and that purchase of some
Bank in Pennsylvania has been effected, and
that the notes of said purchased Bank will
be circulated by the said Bank of the Ohio
Valley. We do not know that such course
would be legal Surely the omission in the
Law to prohibit the circulation of foreign
Bank paper, will not justify an association
/ formed under our General Banking Law
making foreign Bank paper their exclusive
circulation; at all events we hope the issue
will be repudiated unless it is distinctly
stipulated that the paper will be redeeped in
| gold at the counter of the so styled aBank
of the Ohio Valley" The people will rightly
suspect the ultimate solvency of all newly or
ganized Banks that do not comply fully with
the acquisitions of the General Banking Law
of the State.

For the State Sentinel

The editors of the Journal, of this city,
right. morally or politically. or in accordance
with the principles of Christianity" They
also desire to know if any should doubt OF
all men being "created equal" Now, the
writer would be pleased to enquire of the
Journal, if they believe the Old Testament
Scriptures to be the word of God? in other
words, do they believe all that is written in
the Bible to be the truth, and revelation
from God?
If the editors will only answer the above
questions fairly, the writer will know where
to find them. But few Abolitionists believe
that the Bible is the word of God, or all thai
is written therein, is divine truth. The wri-
ter was once told by an one-eyed Adolf
ZIONIST at La Porte, in this State, that he die
not believe the Bible to be the word of God
because it sanctioned slavery and othei
AbolitiOnis have often told the writer the
same thing. 1t may be the editors of the
Journal are of the same way of thinking, anC
if such is the case, any proof in support OF
slavery taken from the Bible, would not, t.
their minds be good authority, consequent
ly so far as they are concerned, need not b.
effored in evidence.
The writer would also be pleased to enquir,
of the editors of the Journal, if they believe
that negroes are equal, mentally and physi
cally, to the whites? And would they 9TH,
editors) be willing to have the negro popula
ton of the United States, placed on terms o
equality, politically and socially, with tn
whites? OF course, if the editors of th'
Journal are sincere in the belief that all mel
are created equal and with equal rights, the,
will have nerve and honesty enough to confess
it. Men are not equal, nor are they free, un
less they are so. politically and socially,-th,
laws should bear equally on all, before the.
are or can be free and equal.
t This is an important matter, and it is to b
hoped that the editors of the Journal, wi
not remain mum on the subject Ii they al
for equality let them speak out like men; o
else, let them forever hereafter hold the
! peace.
If they will answer the foregoing question
: fairly and squarely they can hear from tt
writer again on the subject. UNION.

"all things to all men," going with the times,
floating on public opinion, rather than guiding
it. 1t has, however, the honor of being hated

The Message Of Gov. Reeder contends for
the right Of the people of the Territory to
settle their own affairs, uninhuenced by other
States; saws that the Legislature has power
to legislate on the question Of slavery to a
limited extent; recommends the passage Of
stringent liquor law on account Of the evil
effects Of the traffic upon the Indians. The
Governor thinks a light loan will be required
20 carry on the government, and contends for
the right to tax Prescriptions. He urges the
immediate establishment of the seat Of gov
eminent, and states the population Of the
Territory at 1888 females and 1888 males.
The Governor vetoed the bill fixing upon the
Shawnee Mission the seat Of government,
but the Legislature passed il over his head,
and adjourned to meet at Shawnee Mission.

OEThe friends of civil and religious lib

was largely attended by citizens of Switzer-
land and Ohio counties. AmSng the speakers
who addressed the meeting was Capt. Scott
Carter, of Vevay, long leading Wing in
that part of the State. Know Nothingism is
said to be quite strong in old Switzerland,
but why it should be so we cannot divine.
The county was settled by noble and virtu-
Gus immigrants from the country whose name
it bears. 1t was by their toll and industry
that the forest was subdued, and under Their
advice and counsel the community has pros

has gone, but their children still remain, and
