MECHANICS IN KANSAS TERRIToRY-Go Governor
Reeder, of Kansas, writes to friend in Pennsyl
vana as follows:
This is a most lovely and promising country
There is no finer under the sun, and next summer
it will be rich harvest for all kinds of building
mechanics and laborers Last season stone masons
and carpenters got 81 25 and 81 so day. labo-
rers 81 % and 81 80. A legion of them will be
needed early in the spring and all summer. Ifyou
have any to spare send them along. We shall pay
out in the territory near a million Of dollars in
building, and a man can be earning the highest
wages and getting good farm at 81 IS per acre
at the same time. The government alone will spend
100000 or $4,000 in stone buildings at Fort
Riley. The stonemason, carpenter, brickmaker,
brcklayer pasterer, laborer, lineburner, &c, can
lay the foundation of fortunes here the first year.
Send them on, know they will not repent it We
have as yet had nothing l would call winter and
| doubt if it will be any colder. Spring opens
about the lst ofMarch, and mechanics, &c, should
be here at that time. There are some twenty towns
laid out the greater part Of which must be built up
to say nothing offarm houses, &C.

REFORM NEEDED.

Mr. Badger. Of North Carolina said in debate on
the CONDENSATION bill, that it cost him three u0Uo
sand dollars wear above bis pay Of eight dollars
day to lre'
This confession for we can look upon it in no
other light than C0utcS>tDHD shows one OF two
tbings-that the pTich Of living needs reform in
Washington Civ. or he habits Of Members require
Senate rising in his place and declaring that eight
dollars dav. in addition to eight dollars for every
twenty miles travel in going to and returning from
WasIincton. Is so far below the necessary sum
demanded to live Is becomes his desires and habits,
tI,st he IS obliged TO spend in addition TO his pay
and parouisjtes-(stealings IN the way Of books
voted annually to members, lncluded)-a sum
about equal To sixteen dollars day during The sit
ting Of Congress in addition
+ This be so, why Is i that members coatrive to
drag ont the long session to such inordnate length?
1t is strange they should remain 50 long at Wash
iDctsn. at such ruinous expenditures beyond their
pay, when it Is evident THE PUBLIC BUSINESS does
not REQUIRE this sacrifice.
We have been told Of an honorable member Of
the House of Representatives from the State Of
New York, who expcnds from ten to twenty thou
sand dollars TO secure his return to Congress who
boasts that he makes money even at that in the
oneraiiorl Is this CIV about 'short commons now
being cot M intended to draw the attention OF the
upoDle from too close an examination OF this sub
ject?
There is rottenness in Congress, and it 10 time 1t
was probed We are clear in our convictions that
eight dollars a day and mileage without steal
iags1 is as much as tie services Of members of
Congress are worth When they begin to talk
of twenty four dollars day being necessary to
live at Washington, the people had better look
about them and see what We are coming to-

MANUFACTURE OF RUM.-Probably tue only ma
nuiacture in the Northern States which is carried
on proftably at the present time is that of rum,
and this was never before so profitable as at the
present time. The distileres all through the coun-
try have orders for many weeks and months ahead
at prices which yield them hundred per cent
profit. This state of things has been occasoned by
the prohibition Of the dstillaton of grain in France
and Belgium, which has caused large orders from
those countries for rum from the United States
Every packet ship from New York for France and
Germany now carries out all the rum which can
be had in the market as part of her cargo. The ar
tice sells at AZ 4S cents gallon and the profit
may easily be calculated when it is known that
the molasses costs but little more than 20 cents a
gallons and so gallons ofmoasses will make 50 gal
Ions of rum. large portion of the molasses in the
United states has just been bought up On French
account At Portland, 5000 hhds. were purcha. ed
last week for shipment to France Boston Traveller

WHAT Is BREwHG.- writer of communion
ton to the Nashville True Wing, who signs him
self"Old Wilson," expresses preference for Gen.
William B. Campbell as the most suitable and pop.
ular to be run by the wings of this district for
Congress, at the next election. Hon. Charles Rea-
dy, the present Representative, was one of three
wings from Tennessee that warmly supported the
bill establishing the Territories of Nebraska and
Kansas, on the principle of Congressional non in
reference. We have reason to believe that the
wings of Wilson snd Williamson do not embrace
the sentiments of Mr.. Ready on this subject as
warmly as do the wings of Rutherford As the
democrats heartily approved the course of Dir Rca-
dy in this great measure of the session, and as the
wings Of Rutherford so far as we know, entertain
the same opinion on that subject, we had trought
1t probable that no opposition would be offered to
him from any quarter, or that opposition would be
useless, but in this it appears we were mistaken
Mr.. Ready, we suppose, must stand aside, or be
set aside by caucus or run the risk of being beat
en- by man OF his own party, if Gen. Campbell
should consent to be a candidate Mirtreesboro

A MFRIrRD REBrKE.-The English papers ha

A MERIrRD REBuxE-The English papers have
uttered the most dolorous complaints about the
barbarity Of the Russians in firing upon their own

tie of Balaklava. According to the national NOR
atty Of John Bull an act so atrocious should dis
grace Russia in The eyes of all good people, forever

extract from history, which may possibly correct
the tone Of the British press and teach them use
full lesson. The Courier says:

The enlightened and liberal feelings of the heart

those ennobling sentiments of the soul and hgh ton-
ed sense OF honor which are as necessary IL form
ing and making up OF good democrat as loou Is
to animal existence, or sleep to revive anG recupe-
rate the exhausted energies OF the system; stamp
as false the assertion that democrat can retain his
integrity and fealty to his party and at the same
time belong to the Know Nothiugs. Such thing
Is onnosed to reason and common sense. To sup
nose democrat, who has seen his party triumph,
and the rapid advance our country has made in
wealth, prosperity and happiness through the agen-
cy of those triumphs and the blight upon progress
which wing rule never fails to leave in its wake
would desert those time honored principles, and
connect himself with party which has not one
virtue or redeeming trait to recommend it, whose
members prowl around IN dark alleys OF nights,
hover around back ways, and start at every pass
ing tread as if fearful that officer OF justice was
in pursuit, and whose principles are nothing more
or less than hatred to political freedom and popular
supremacy; would be taken by every honest man
in our party the blacklist insult which could be
offered.
Ourprincples are based upon Truth, and never
sbun the light We believe man is capable Of self
government and never fear an appeal TO the popu-
lar will But to 90 into a secret concIave and
swear invioable secrecy not only shows want of
confidence in the Judgment of the people, or that
men are capable OF forming their own opinions cor
rectly. but, also savors strongly ofsome evil de-
signs upon the rights ofthe people, which its found
ers fear TO expose to the light because oftheir utter
incompatibity with the sovereignty Of the popular
will. Every design to affect the free exercise of

ton, by secret concave, however fair outside ap-
pearances may be, however pralseworthy their o.
tensibe objects, yet as long as it is bid from the
popular view; cannot but be regarded by every
democrat as secret agent aiming to undermine
and destroy the basis Of his party principles.
1t is impossible for any democrat, for any one
worthy the name, to Join such an institution.
There are but few in our party, who would consent
10 cast such an ojium upon the honored mothers
who gave them birth, or upon the revered name of

AGRICULTURAL BUREAU.-The State Agricultural
Bureau, which recently met at Nashville adopted
resolution that Governor Johnson be requested
to address the people in different counties, so far
as public duties will permit, on Agricultural topics
and that Hon Jas G. Jones and Hon. John Bell
be requested to make appointments to address the
people Cd their return from Washing on next spring
In addition to this, number of gentlemen We're
appointed to make addresses in the counties con-
venient to them. We are glad to notice these
movements which cannot fail to be of inoalculable
advantage to the agricultural interests of the Stat
We hope that it may be the means Of arousing the
farmers of old Giles to the Importance Of forming
an Agricultural Society. This is one Of the largest
and wealthiest counties in the State, and has no
excuse for being behind the times in any particular.
Giles might do credit to her farmers and honor to
the State in an agricultural exhibition. She would
take more premiums than any other county in the
State ifher farmers had socity. They should set
about forming one as soon as possible And let
them not wait for Others to come among them to
"do the talking There are scores OF good men in
the country who can do that part to perfection. We
hope that meeting will be called at an early day
and active steps taken for the formation of So
ciety.-PulaSki Citizen.
