co,,.,,onaeree Of The N. Y. Trbuu,

LAwRrYcF, Kansas. Friday, April II, 1856.
That there is tide in the affairs of men IS made
evident by the food Of immigration setting into
tIis State. Our town is crow ded with immigrants
from all parts. A number of companies are camping
here spIiossy awaiting tie reports of their exploring
e, nmuees, who have gone out to look at different
Localities. There is large company from Ohio-one
to. Coppfcticut-one from Northumberland
other. are daily arriving. There delegations also,
srom different States who have come out, as Joshua
% old 10 sry out the land. Pennsylvania is sending
noble emigration also. Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana,
New-York and New England are not far behind
Yonr correspondent has been in Kansas since 1t was
o,en for settlement-about two year.-and one ef
the original squatters on the site where Lawrence now
stands
,bose of last year. They in the face Of difficult
lie, and are prepared TO meet them. They make al
ov.noes which many Of those of last year did not seem
d,po.ed to- for inability to afford them ali the COM
foys of older States. The boarding houses and many
n,vate houses are filed. The hotel is about being
aorfned: if the furniture here il could be made
ready in a week. In fortnight Lawrence Will have
lote superior TO aDy west of St. Louis Col. Edrdge
of the American Hotel in Kansas City has leased It,
The Colonel s ,ckole souled gentleman from the old
Raw State--energetic enterprlsing and atfable. lie
has in connection with his two hotels line OF stages
between Kansas City and Lawrence, and i proprietor
of the ferry aOrOss the Missouri al Kansas City. Mon
ey is scarce here and, in al new countries we need
the help of capital. No Stste offers better induce
ments for settlement than this
Emigration is coming in like flood; land and
properly are advancing and must increase rapidly in
value. Ifthe wealthy men of the North would invest
m Kansas they would add to our circulating medium
and greatly benefit as well as themselves
Efforts are being made to introduce manufacturing
on large scale in tLis place. Some branches of In
dustry must be very profitable Missouri on the east
and Arkansas on the south manufacture comparatively
nothing. On the west we have an unlimited market
millions of dollars worth of goods are annually trans
ported from the borders of Missouri; Kansas will soon
have her share Of this trade 1t costs from 10 to -
cents per pound toransport goods across the plains to
Santa Fe Hundreds OF tuns of soap and candles are
sent across the plains all of which are brought up the
Missouri fom st. Louis, while they can be msnuac-
tured hee cheap or cheaper than at that point 800
miles east.
Lard oil, furniture, plows, carriages, wooen
goods, are al imported from st. Louis. Lard and
wool are sent 400 to 500 miles to be manufactured We
have plenty of timber for furniture, pows, carriages
end the like.
Enterprisng men may acquire fortunes rapidly by
starting these manuactureinot only in Lawrence, but
in q parts of the State. 81. Joseph on the Missouri
has some manufactures but would not be Formidable
competitor in eny branch. THERaoPYLEAs.
