S. propeller Arctic, which left New York
on the l lth ult., in search of the missing
steamer Pacific, and sailed from Halifax,
n. S., on the 21st., has not since been

turn for some time, unless she should for

or some other vessel in distress. The

cleaned up, and put into suitable order
for Kansas hunt. l presume this State

least five hundred men, all armed and
equipped, with provisions and teams 20
transport them to Kansas. They will be
the best body of fighting men brought to-
gether since the Revolution in '76. Most
of them go to remain as settlers"
We invite them to Atchison, and if
fighting be their desire, we promise them
qualification to their hearts content. We
have in this county, great variety of
game which is so tame that it will not run
from TIE approach of hunters. We have
class of settlers in this neighborhood,
from Virginia, South Carolina, and Mis-
souri,, who would make the hunt Of the
above named party, intensely e,rcitiag,
though we could not assure them of a pro-
ftable hunt or guarantee their safe return
to Wisconsin. We again extend the in
vitation to our g Ave hundred fighting -
