The American Flag.

1t is indeed strange that the
people ofthese United States un.
derstand so little of the proper
form, proportion of size, number oi
stripes even of their own national flag,
the glorious Star Spangled Banner.
The standard of the army is fixed al
six feet six inches by four feet four
inches; the number of stripes is thir-
teen. viz: seven red and six white
1t win be perceived that the flag is just
one half longer than it is broad, and
that its proportions are perfect when
properly carried out. The first stripe
at the top is red. the next white, and
so down alternately, which makes the
last ned. The blue field for the stars
is the width and square of the first
seven stripes, viz: four red and three
white. These stripes extend from the
side of the field to the extremity OF
the flag. The next stripe is white. ex-
tending the entire length of it, and di-
rectly under the field in strong and
pleasing relief, then follow the re-
manning stripes alternately The num-
Der of stars on the field is now thirty
one. and the army and navy lmmedi-
ately add another star on the admls-
sion of a new State IN our glorious
Union

Capital in Kansas.

The prime want of territory just
open to settlement, is, of course, cap.
ital. Every one knows. on the one
hand, that nowhere else is so high a
price paid for money. Every one
knows, on the other hand, that the dis
comforts of such a territory spring
from the want of those investments
which constitute the capital of older
States, in bridges, mills, houses, farms,
&c.
The process of the gradual civiliza-
tion of such a territory is simply the
introduction of these investments.
Wherever they go, people throng in
around them. As soon as mill is
built, settlers gather around its facili-
ties. In proportion as roads and
bridges are opened, do the settlements
enlarge which they accommodate.
Yet, in the settlement of our West
ern StatsssAe pioneers are generally
such poor men, that for years the
prosperity of those States has been
held back for the want of investments,
even of the most profitable character.
Such pioneers need all their means for
the establishment of their own homes.
The simplest contrivances needed for
the whole community. even such as we
have named, saw-mills. grist-mills, or
bridges. cannot be erected for.years,
while whole neighborhood is IN need
of them, because the settlers who need
them cannot command the resources
for such investment, although the re-
turns from it be immensely profitable.
The Emigrant Aid Company in
Kansas, to the fall extent of It's means,
meets these necessities of the settlers
there. The extent of the usefulness
of such investments towards the civil
lization of that State, cannot be over
stated. We have heard an intelligent
gentlemen. who grew up in and with
Illinois, say that such an investment
of hundred thousand dollars in that
State in the infancy of its settlements,
would have placed it this day twenty
years In advance of what it is. For
at the points of market and of work
created by such investments, towns
would at once have grown up, while in
fact, for such large centers Illinois has
had to wait, for the slow develop
ment of her internal Improvements

Minnesota Territory.

The present population of Alinneso-
to is variously computed at from one
hundred and fifty to one hundred and
eighty thousand souls. 1t is impossi-
BILE to make any very correct estimate,
and very difficult to make even very
satisfactory guess. 1t is known that
the immigration this season has very
far exceeded all former experience ;
that whole tracts of country which
last year were looked upon as outside
the pale of present civilization, have
been settled by farmers, and dotted
with villages; but we do not find two
men who agree upon the amount of ac-
eession. We have no doubt that,
whatever the exact sum may be, Min
nesota has received within her borders,
since the opening of navigation last
spring, at least double the number
gained by all the other Territories of
the United States combined.-Pioneer
and Democrat.
Give us peace in Kansas, and the
next year will exhibit In this Territory
what was true of Minnesota the last
season. All persons who are desirous
of seeing their property quadruple in
value in single year. are interested in
preserving the future quiet of the coun-
try. Pro-slavery men are as much in
terested in tranquil state of affairs as
are the opposite party. Will not all
parties, then. labor energetically from
this time forth to put down anything
which looks to breach of the public
peace?
We have Governor now. and one
who will aid in preserving the public
peace, instead of fomenting difficulties
and encouraging war. Let all lend
him friendly hand, and the end will
be satisfactory to all. save those who
wish to live from public plunder.

Good Sense.

The Brunswick. Georgia Herald,
has very good article on Kansas mat.
tiers. In its closing paragraph itsays:
If Kansas is lost to the South, il
will only be because of the violence OF
some who have endeavored to force Its
institutions, and have thus endangered
what was otherwise certain. The on
II way to retrieve lost ground is. for
peaceable settlers 10 pour in, sake ap
claims, and for those who remain to
disconntenance violence, and that wild
current of elimination and recrimina-
tion which now floods the newspapers
and those continual threats of seces-
sion il others do not do exactly as We
coazsaad them. Let the slavery ques-
tion be subordinate TO the general good
and settlers can benefit themselves and
their country more than by making il
the paramount consideration.
The Kansas herald of freedom. [volume] (Wakarusa, Kan. Territory) 1854-1860, 1856-12-20
Kansas in Constantinople.

A Turkish newspaper contains the
following remarkable article on the
"Kansas Question" of the United
States
"In the northern part of America
there is g Province called Kansas,
which, having a very warm climate,
its inhabitants are much given to ag-
riculture. They have, therefore, i'm
ported large number of slaves from
Africa, and employ them on their lands.
The people who live to the north OF
this Province, regard slavery as incon-
sistent with humanity, and having so
apprised the citizens of Kansas, urg-
ed them to desist from this improper
practice. Having repeatedly done
this, and not having been listened to,
the two parties assembled, and after
ascertaining the number of each, de-
puted representatives, to the seat of the
American government, called Wash
ington, to have the matter tried.
Now, as there has been for some time
past great GOODNESS between the men,
bers of the Council of Mobiles and
that of the people in America, they
could not fall upon any agreement on
the subject of the peoples quarrel in
Kansas. The difficulty increasing dali
ly in strength, it was foreseen that
trouble would arise out of it.
"'The enmity existing between the
two Councils, resulted in each endeav-
oring to prevent the labors of the 9TH
er, and, consequently, nothing was
done by either. Moreover, as the ar
my of the American Republic is who'll
ly disorganized, and consists only of
Bashi-Bazouk soldiers, the Council of
the people desired to have them prop
erly trained and placed under some
kind of order, with regular rations and
pay assigned them. The Chief of the
Republic, likewise, was in favor of this
arrangement, but the Council of the
Mobiles continued to oppose that of
the people, and a great Quarrel ensued
between them on the subject. This
state of things, therefore, being pro-
ductive of the ruin of the foundation
of the Republic and the destruction of
its government, the Chief of it decid-
ed upon settling the affair of the army
in some manner or other, and for this
purpose, last August, called up both
the Councils. and gave them two
weeks in which to come to settlement
of their differences.
"Now it happens that by the very
singular form of rules adopted by said
Republic, if the peoples Council do
not also consent to it, the Chief of the
Government, even together with the
Council of the Mobiles, cannot take
one aktcha out of this treasury and
as the former would not consent to
give him any money for their support,
he has had to dismiss all of the SOL
diers, and sell all the vessels of war to
other governments. OF truth. it is
clearly seen that this discord between
the two Councils will very soon cause
the ruin of that Republic, and proves
the value of the peace and happiness
which we all enjoy under the beneso
lent protection of the shadow of our
blessed Sultan"
