Frame Eouses.

The attention of the reader is invited
to the card of our friend Mr. STATIONS,
who it appears. has taken into considera-
ton the great wants of this country, and
has prepared himself to meet those wants,
by furnishing cheap frame houses, to
pioneers on their first arrival in the Ter
ritory-at prices varying from two hun
dred to FIVE hundred dollars. As soon
as possible he purposes setting up one of
those houses in Kansas city. Our friends
from the east can examine them on their
way to the Territory, and if pleased with
their appearance can purchase one, bring
it right along, and in a few DAYS after
their arrival, be fixed up in permanent
residences of their own. Mr.. SIMMONS
is gentleman whom the public will be
pleasedto patronizc. and we have no doubt
he will find his enterprise profitable to
himself as well as advantageous to the
country.

Gold.

A correspondent of the Missouri Re-
publican writes from Neosho, Mo-, on
9th of May, and says
cit may be of some interest to your
readers to know what is going on out in
these remote and isolated regions; |,
therefore. give you the following as per-
fectly reliable.
"Rumors of gold having been found in
range of the Wichitaw Mountains, on
the red or salt fork of the Arkansas, have
been prevalent since early last fall A
mania, like the one that arose on the
news received from California in SO and
40. has beset the people; and thousands
are now vending their way, orpreparing
to start, for the new-found land of Ophir.
cit is computed that at least hun
dred teams have passed through this
place within the last ten days, all destin-
ed for that dreamyland of precious metal.
The excitement extends from Spring
field, Missouri, to the Arkansas river
As many, in all probability, will go from
Kansas as from this State. A gentleman
has just told me that some seventy teams
have crossed Grand river at. Gistrap's in
the Seneca Nation, within the last four
days, and there are many other points of
crossings equally if not more accessible.
Many are going on pack mules. Time
alone can tell the tale of these glittering
anticipations. / have talked with stSen-
eca Dane" the half-breed guide. He
says "gold much plenty, sometimes a
good deal, heap litile.'

From the Plains.

Mr.. Mitchell Robidoux has just return
ed from the Plains-twenty-fiv days
from Laramie-ane confirms our worst
apprehensions of a terrible Indian war
on ocr frontiers. The Indians every
where are confederating to offer active re-
sistance to the Government troops, whose
coming they eagerly anticipate. The
leader of the Smoke band; well known to
all our traders, and terror to all who
know him, is acting the Tecumseh in
banding them together. Delay, at this
juncture, is dangerous. The four regi-
ments should have been by this time on
the Plains, to prevent general coalition
of all the different tribes. When once
leagued together for mutual aid and de-
Tense, it may cost our government much
money and many men to overcome them.
Mr.. Robidoux came in without detri-
mentto person or property, save the loss
of teg horses, stolen by the Ogalalies.-
The weather at his trading post, sixty
miles from Laramie, has been, during the
whole winter, extremely mild and pleas
ant; so much so that during the months
of January and February he found it con-
venient to dispense with the use of fire

Governor Reeder.

This gentleman is now in Washington,
not for the purpose so generally attribu-
ted to him, of invoking the action of the
general government in regard to the adj
ministration. of his duties as governor
of Kansas. but simply preparatory to his
return in week or two with his family
to the territory which he proposes to
make his future home. It's satisfactory
to observe the contrast between his quiet
and manly department and the violent ex-
pressions unjustly charged to him by
his enemies. Not for a single moment
has he been diverted from the plain,
straightforward path of duty. Refusing
all participation with extreme men in the
late disturbances in the Territory, and
planting himself upon the conceded prin-
ciples of the Kansas and Nebraska bill.
he has steadily maintained the attitude
which might be expected from man
who for thirty years has been leading
and consistent member of the democrat
&c party-the party of the constitution.

BY Dir. BALDwIN's card it will be OBJ
served that he has completed his ferry
boat, and is now ready to set passengers
and teams over the Kansas river opposite
this point at all hours. This point is the
most direct one for travelto LeavenYorth,
Weston, Kickapoo, or between those pla-
ees and Ossawatomie, Council City, or
other locations south of the Kansas river.
There is also ferry now in operation
across the Wakarusa at Blue Jackets,
which will be on the line of travel to the
Santa Fe road. The public will bear
these facts in mind as it will be matter
of great convenience to them.

Transportation Company.

A proposition is on foot to organize a
transportation company, for the purpose
of carrying passengers and freight reg
ularly between Lawrence, Kansas City,
and st. Louis. The proprietors of the
Emma Harmon would engage in such an
enterprise, and We have no doubt "a couple
of steamers could be secured on the
Missouri river to make regular trips in
connection with her between here and St.
Louis during the boating season. In the
winter large teams should be placed upon
the road and run at regularintervals. We
hope our merchants and business men
will take hold of this enterprise in good
earnest, and get all the machinery in mo-
ton as soon as may be.

Valuable Accession.

Mr.. SMITH, member of the legal pro-
fession, from Butler County, Pa, has
purchased a claim about a mile east OF
Lawrence, and purposes improving it as
a private residence. He is a gentlemen
of wealth, and has selected this locality
for permanent home on account of the
beauty of the scenery and mildness OF
the climate. We find as the season ad-
vanccs the character of emigration i'm
proves; and more capital makes its way
to this region than was apprehended
would be the case for a time in the fore
part of the season. Mr.. SMITH will make
a very valuable addition to our popula-
ton in more resrectS than one.

time of the passage of the act; and,
fosflsly, To those who, under former laws,

to make up the deficiency to that amount.
Having officiated 80 Bounty Land Agent under
the former law, md received from the proper
