their ride. The question Of Slavery has not yet,
as usual, been preached in the deliberations Of
this reverend body, though it may arise IN some

Tie newspapers in this region are still en-
ployed with affairs in Kansas. Indeed that
Territory, so far from enjoying its proposed de-
lightful squatter sovereignty, is considered as a
dependent province of Missouri, and every edl-

eon Of rolling prairie, especially the latter half
of the distance The Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad is completed as far as Burling-
ton, and must do great business. The route
is through a magnificent region, aud it is truly
surprising to find villages of several hundred
people on the open prairie where one year ago
