there are now on Lake Michigan. Lake Erie,
and in Canada about l ,450, 600 barrels. 1t
then adds:
Suppose 456 900 barrels to he absorbed
by the destitute points in the interior. and
we shall then received at tide-water one mil
lion barrels-enough at the rate Of winter con-
sumption, 5000 bbls. per day, to last one
middle of next September. Such is the csti-
mate Of our correspondent, and we have no
doubt it is nearer the truth than the one of
only 700, 900 barrels. and therefore with a
favorable prospect of good crop all over the
country, there is not shadow Of reason for
any alarm about short supply"

fire of the besicged. the remainder would

two hundred thousand mel. What will they
do! They would re embark, if they could:
hut they cannot. They must retire from

in the open field Of the Crinca, appears to BE-
inevitable. The aggregate Of the Russian

Can any man of discernment OF FORE
sight visit our thriving city, behold its beau.
tiful situation, understand its important
relations, and look for single day even
at the great wealth and energy that are
now at work in building up its interests,
and developing its resources, without adj
hitting that Leavenworth. must, at no far
distant day. become great, populous and
wealthy city. When an individual will
not make this admission-however pain
full it may bet clearly evinces dispo.
sition on his part to belittle and disparage
the present and prospective advantages of
our city, or want Of intelligence in regard
to the geography and resources of the
place.
The natural advantages of our city, and
its resources are unequalled by those of
any other town in Kansas, and can neither
be added to nor diminished by any a1gu-
ment or raillery on the part of men. The
efforts of editors to retard the growth and
prosperity of Leavenworth by writing and
publishing their spleen and prejudices, and
scattering their malignity against her must
prove nugatory. The powerful and ON
nipotent arm which is now so rapidly push
ing forward our city in its bright destiny
can be stayed or paralysed by no power
of man or the press. Leavenworth has a
destiny to perform, as the great CONNER
ciaI emporium of Kansas, and there is
nothing save Omnipotence That can check
It's onward progress.
