Our Town.

The Atchison Town Company met here
a week since, and among other appropri-
ations, made the following: Fifteen hum
dred dollars for the purpose Of erecting
warehouse, 50 by so feet, for the accom-
mediation Of the Utah emigration and mer-
chants; who will start from this point the
preesnt season, Twohundred and fifty
dollars to grade the Centre Street, leading
out from the ferry landing, Twenty five
hundred dollars for hotel to be completed
in six weeks one wing of which Is by SO
two stories high is already finished. Also
ordered the grading Of the Levee for 800
yards along the centre of the town. They
also donated Lot to each of the Christian
Denominations who would build on them
and Block Of lots to be used for an Acad-
emy. -Four Large store houses are now
in process Of erection, and nearly complete
ed, to be occupied SO soon as finished
One of them by the Messrs. Burnes oi
Weston, who viii bring heavy stock ol
goods at once. Mr.. d. d. Buunes is now
in Cincinnati, to purchase Steam Ferry
Boat, which will be here in less than a
month. All who wish to engage in busi.
ness at this place, must hurry, as we will
soon be crowded, and the first in, will Sc.
cure the best trade.

The Election.

The time for holding our election is at
length known. On the 30th Of March,
the great contest which will decide the fu-
ture Of Kansas, will then be fought. Ev-
cry man who feels an interest in the pros
perity of our free and glorious republic,
should rally for the contest and cast his
vote for "Squatter Rights" the right OF
every man to come in and peacably possess
the country, and that too without the fear
of midnight Robbers depriving him Of
part of his possessions, and it may be ol
his life-contend for the right of all to en-
Joy their property and their religion
Should there be those whose ultra piety
will not permit them to live where theil
neighbor claims the same right, that q
righteous God gave 10 the old Patriarchs
we would advise them to stay away from
the polls, and at the~.first convenient mo
ment, seek cline more congenial to thei
feelings, their MORE than Christian or Pat
riarchal Goodness. All such had bette,
not GO to the polls, their pious feeling
might be shocked.

Free SOIL Light.

The last "Free State" notices remark
able Light observed IN the south from
Lawrence. and says, '.it is an emanation OF
Free-Soil light in the southern part of the
Territory for the benefit of the bemgted
regions of southwestern Missouri and Ar
kansas, and it is ominous of prevailing
Free Soil sentiments in that region"
II Is a singular fact. that Rotten Fish
and animals frequently emit a Phosphores.
ent light. If there are many Of the tribe
of Thayer & Co., in the region described
we think il altogether probable that the
light is emitted from their filthy, rotter
carcasses.
ssThey shine and stink, and stink and shine,
Like rotten mackerell by moon-lightp'

Ferry Boats.

Since our last issue, the old Ferry Co.
have built new Boat, and Thomson and
Lamb have put in second Ferry Boat
Since they have recommended, both Ferries
have been running constantly. The trave-
ling public need have no fear of not being
able to cross at this point, the emulation
between our two companies is such. tina,
each boat does double as much business, as
the old one formerly did when alone. Com
petition is the life of trade" A Steam
Boat will be added to the list in a short
time, and we confidently assert that ale
three, viii have as much as they can pos
sibIy do.
