HERALD OF FREEDOM, paying for the
same IN advance, we take this occasion
to return our heartfelt thanks. Our re-
lance for subscription list was in the
eastern States. among those who were in.
tereste1 in securing free institutions to
Kansas. They have done nobly, and
promise still better bu. it remained fol
Lawrence to show Its appreciation OF the

by coming forward, at the very outset o.
our enterprise, and registering their
names. not only for themselves, but in
several eases subscribing for from three
TO five copies 60 send to friends in the
East. We have frequently sold as high
rs twenty five, and in one instance forty
copies, TO one individual. We consider
the HERALD a fixed fact, and as pcrTna-
nentiy established as if it could boast oi
an existence of ten or twenty years.
We set out with the determination ot
making a meritoritui paper. one that the
friends of freedom in every part of the
Union would feel proud in sustaining and
recommending to their neighbors. How
well We have succeeded let the, universal
expression Of the public press, and ourdaily

glancing over their well filled columns.
We have fall five bushels before us which
still remain unopened. They embrace
every class of reli sious aud political pa
pers, from Maine and the Canalas to
Texas, and many in other languages than
the English, nearly all asking for an ''ex-
chan ge.'' This tells with what deep
anxiety news is sought after from this
great battle ground between Freedom and
Slavery. We wish our subscription list
was sufficiently large to justify the ex-
pease of furnishing each paper which
desires it an exchange. but i. is iInpossi-
bic to do so at present: we hope, how

Another Well,


Mr., FRANKLIN HASKELL, residing
about one and half miles east of this
city, informs us that he has dug a well
on his claim, and found an excellent vein
of water at twenty-five feet below the
surface. There is now over three feet OF
water in the well, which promises to be
unfailing. He dug entirely, with the
exception of about three feet of soil,
through sand stone, clay stone, a strata
about ten inches thick, of bisuminous
coal of very good quality, and soap
stone to a sand deposit; through which
the vein Of water flowed. He estimates
the cost-including stoning up-at one
dollars foot. The surface of the well
is quite elevated, probably on a level
with this city. - "a |l'i' = = % :

Help Get up a List.

We hope every reader in the East, who
favors our enterprise, will lend us his IN
fiuence at once in extending the circula--
ton of the HERALD OF FREEDOM. Our
patronage from the Territory must ne
cessarily be very limited until the popu-
lation shall greatly increase. The people
win do all they can; but to publish a
paper. of the size of ours, and almost
wholly made up ofrcading matter, with
out any aid from advertisements, requires
a heavy weekly expenditure, which can
only be made up by very large sub
scriptioa list. We contemplated a cir
eulation of TWENTY THOUSAND, and we
think the cause requires tia. number o!
individuals to contribute their share to-
wards making Kansas free. Wnat say
you, reader? VIII you go ta. work at
at once, and send US a favorable report ol
your conclusions By forwarding long
list of subscribers. with remittances in
New York or New England currency
We hope to hear from YOU soon. g.

HieWhere.

A very interesting article win be found
in our columns to-day from an ''out-
sider," giving history Of the Lawrence
Association, and its claim to the soil on
which our beautiful'city site is loca.ed.
The author writes well, and has made a
very clear, case for the Association
With the state of facts which he mem
tions, there is no tribunal in the world
which could be so unjust as to decide
against their claim to the city site. We
have another letter on the same subject,
from another individual, agreeing in all
the essential particulars, and we may be
induced TO publish it next week. The
opposition to the Association. as eyinced
in the :" Great Territorial Indignation
Meeting" which assembled in this city
on the lth inst, appeared to ariseifron
desire on the part of an ambitious few
to be at the head Of matters here. Find
ing that they could not arise at that dis
tinction, they sought to pull others dewn
to level with themselves. How well
they succeeded, let the voice of an out
ragged public answer. Don't fail of read

The Best Currency.

Our eastern friends are DESTROYS OF
knowing what currency is best in Kan
sas. We can answer them very readily,
Gold and silver never depreciates in val
ue, and is not influenced at all by broken
banks. The pioneer setting out from his
eastern home with gold dollar in his
pocket is sure of having a dollar when
ne arrives here, if he does not spend it.
Not so with those who set out with paper
currency. One company which came
here, last fall. from Pennsylvania, were
sufferers to theamount ofeFer one thous-
and dollars by bank notes which depre-
ciated, or became valueless in their hands
by the breaking of banks. No person
feels safe with large amount of this class
of paper in his pocket. Gaod eastern
notes can be readily exchanged for gold
at the brokers for one half per cent dis
count. An Individual coming West had
better make such an exchange, whether
his 'pile" is large or small one, rather
than run the risk of a deprecated or
worthless currency on his arrival here.
We would suggest still further, that
as much silver aal small gold coin as
possible be brought out in the spring.
