KANSAS CORRESPONDING
TER FROM MRS. NICHOLS.

LANE, KANSAS TERRIroRr,
May Il, 1855.

May Il, 1855.
Mn. WOODWARD Tho country about us is
filling up rapidly. During the past week some
fifteen Penusyyanians b ave siaked out claims
aruunu rIrKory roiut SIX mIIes ron here, and
nine from Lawrence, in direct line between
the two places--laid out town and are going
ahead.
A large company is behind them. can now
point to about twelve fine claims within from
one to three miles from MS, which eau be had
in the way we got ours,-buyihe ,mber-whole
or half, or quarter clams-and stalking up"
the unclaimed prairie adjoining. Those who
came out last season all took up timber claims;
this answered very well while the season for
putting in grain, &c. had not come but now
they can't put in their ploughs and commence
improvement on the prairie without exposing
their timber TO be claimed to an equal extent.
Consequently the extra timber is in market, 10
lots from ten acres to 100. Again, here arc
Missourians who did the same to keep GU, the
Yankees, and keep the praries for their herds.
But the Yankees are here and increasing so
rapidly, that no extra prairie will remain for
their use, and they want TO sell out II is a
good plan for several to Join and buy one Of
these timber claims, as it will furnish timber
for all ; rails too are on them all, ready split
fuT fencing ia tho iaui 10 be broken; a log
house to shelter all, till other cabins can be
built, aud usually other preparations arc in
course for beginning 10 live We must have
saw mills and grisl mills here soon. The
three crceks--ou the middle one Of which we
are locaied--are from one aud half to three
miles apart and heavily timbered, so that the
prairie on either side and in the centre is con-
yenient to wood. Such are the advantages of
settling in section where dense population
can be sustained and accommodated. | can
scarcely hope that any Of our friends who come
in will find the claims Of which speak, in our
vicinity, unuccupied six weeks from now. /
presume, however, that during the season ar
Engagements will be made 10 let in individuals
who will be content with ten acres or SO OF
good timber to the prairie. The claims Of
which speak, and timber for sale, are owned
by our neighbors, each Of whom has mentioned
the fact to me for the purpose of getting the
information to our eastern emigranis Of the
fright sort" Forty and fifty dollars are
asked for ten acres of timber; the prairie ad-
joining is all excellent, and the balance of the
100 can be readily siaked out by purchasers Of
the timber.
We have been cattle hunting, to find animals
for our own use. Mr. Nichols has purchased
fine three year old heiier---a beauly-to be
added to the dairy in June-for $50 a fine
cow-Durham blood-and a heifer calf six
weeks old, for $3.50; fine yoke of three

deserving the North. and Of even going so far in
doughiaccism as TO complain to the South that they
were concoding too much to the North.
Gov Garlncr made bold, earnest speech, pro-
testing against the resolutions Of the majority.
Speeches in opposition to the majority resolutions
were made by Mcssrs Cary, Foster and Wilson Of
Massachusetts,, Gov. Fletcher Of this State, Gov.
Johnston Of Pennsylvania and others. The cor
respondent Of the Springfield Republican says Of
Gen Wilson and bis speech "Ilc spoke for nm hour
and with his greatest ability defining his position
towards the south, aud particularly towards the
doagh-facos Of the Morrill, with much clearness and
point Ills friends say, who heard II, that il was
the ablcst speech the General ever made; believe
he SO regards Il HIMSELF and southern gentleman
are high in their appreciation Of the ability and
power Il displayed. They enjoyed immensely his
aaying alive Of the New York delegates, and all
admitted that this was fully deserved"
The debate continued through Tuesday and We'd
neslny. During the forenoon Of Wednesday Ken
meth Rayner Of North Carolina made pacific, IN

lowing compromise proposition -
