siz months in the DARK.

The officers and crew of the North
Star-Artic ship now at Sheerness-
have suffered the priyations of two win
ters of three months each total darkness,
with the thermometer 56 degrees below
zero, or SO degrees below the freezing
point. They have been without a single
human being to associate with, except
their own little company, for a period OF
two years and half. During the whole
period the officers and crew have ceased
to use the razor, merely scissors cutting
and trimming their faces and heads, and
there has not been one solitary case of
liberated or sore throat among them.-
Until within week. the razor was only
known by name in the ship, and. strange
to say, Immediately their faces lost their
warm clothing, several found that the
cold took effect on their threats. Not a
single man or officer has been lost from,
sickness. The duties of the clerk in
charge of this ship have been most oner-
Gus, he having had to be up at all hours,
supplying travelling parties with provis-
ions, who have on many occasions, with
their sledges and their dogs, travelled
sixty miles q day. A few rare speci-
mems of birds and eggs. have been pre-
served and brought home. She brought
home the crews Of the Investigator and
the Phoenix, and the crews of the Reso-I
Lutte and Enterpriss English Paper.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-05-05
Agriculture for 1885.

We believe there never. were better
prospects for our farmers to use every eff
fort in raising large crop than there are
at present. This war in Europewill pre-
vent the cultivation of the soil in num-
befof extensive and fertile districts, which
heretofore have raised a large amount of
surplus products. This will open gap
for our farmers to fill up. Corn is be-
coming more an article of food In Eu
rope every year Three times the quanti-
ty was exported in 1854 that there was
IN the preceding year. AS it Is the
most important grain crop In our country,
we advise, a still more extended cuitiva-
ton of it. Potatoes seem to have become
one of the most falacious crops. Farmers
should not trust to them, but sow and
plant other crops, and depend on them as
if not potato was to be raised. For the
past ten years, most of the potatoes raised
have rotted during the winter; they seem
to have lost the quality of preservation
which they once possessed. Inafew years
more, perhaps this disease willwear out.
Farmers should raise mere oats and barley
than they have hitherto done. The for
mer crop in the northern States is a GER
tain one. Beans should also be more
extensively cultivated, so that we may
have abundant crops of many kinds
Rice is standing crop; its cultivation
seems to be carefully attended to, and
better understood by planters than the
cultivation Of either wheat or corn. -Set-
sRsifc Anerieon.

PLATTE COUNTY, AwAKEl
TWO NEGRO THIEVES DISCOVERED

TWO NEGRO THIEVES DISCOVERED!
We have Just received an extra of the
"Platte Argus" issued April 10th,
1855, giving an account of the submerg-
ing of an abolition press at Parkville in
Platte county
We have long looked for some punish
ment to-b be inflicted upon Park and Pat
terson, the two negro thieves who have
conducted the industrial Luminary, y
alias DOG Star" They hayeat last dis
covered, that the freeman of Platte ceun-
ty DO not intend that our intestine enemy
shall quietly remain in their midst.
Platte county has taken the initiative
in the erpurgatioe of Abolitionists and
Free Soilers, Clay will follow, as will
every other county in the State.
The time has come when the action of
pro-slavery men viii be such as to rem
der hi more preferable to an Aboli-
ZIONIST, than Kansas Territory.
1t is said that the Honorable David R.
Atchison, has received letter from Mr..
Lawrence of the East, stating that hin-
self and other wealthy men, are deter
mined to make Kansas free State that
they intend to make that the battle
ground!
IF this is their determination, we of
Missouri are satisfied. We can assemble
our forces there, as well as any where
else, and perhaps better.
We have solemnly pledged our sacred
honor, one to the other, that the north
and east, shall not dictate to us concern
ING our institutions. IF eastern men,
choose, to associate with, and intermar-
~ with negroes, they have the right to
do SO, but they shall not force upon Us,
the necessity of following their immoral
and Infamous example.
We do not intend to make threat,
but, We wiz say to the eastern and north
ern Abolitionists and Free Soilers, that
we have In Missouri one hemp factory
employed to make suitable ropes for
hanging negro thieves, and by hi We
viii use them

Kansas Territory,

This new and growing Territory is
attracting the attention of emigrants, and
we anticipate ere long that its inviting
climate and natural resources will be in
process of rapid development. 1t ad-
Joins the State of Missouri on.the east,
the proposed Indian Territory of Chah-
lahhee ON the south, New Mexico and
Utah on the west, and Nebraska on the
north. Its AREA, nearly three times great
er than the State of New York, is 1885,
983 square miles, or upwards of eighty
millions eight hundred thousand acres.
1t lies between the attitudes of 81 de-
grees and 40 degrees n. L. 1t is ira
versed near its center, and almost from
east to west, by the Kansas river and its
tributaries, and on the south by the Ar
kansas, having the Missouri river on the
northeast, only some two hundred miles
from the junction of the river with the

The office Of Surveyor General for the
Territory and for Nebraska, is located at
Fort Leavenworth and the Missouri river,
in latitude 38 deg, 10 min.
By an act of Congress approved on
the 18th July, 1854, giving authority
for the establishment Of the Office of Sur
yeyor General, provision is also made for
granting pre-emption to actual settlers.
The public lands to which the Indian
title shall be extinguished in the Terrific
ry, is made subject to the pre-emption
act of 4th September, 1841, under GER
tain conditions and stipulations. The
Government of the United States in a
spirit Of tender regard for the pioneers
and actual settlers, has made ample pro-
vision in advance for the protection and
security of their rights.
The office of the Surveyor General. it

therefore, We may expect the whole sur
veying machinery viii be in full opera
