Southern Emigrants.

Since our last issue over fifty Southern
ors have arrived at our town, most OF them
from the vicinity of Charleston, South Car
olina, and the balance from sthe Old Do
minion.
The greater portion of them are young
men, and have come to locate themselves
permanently, and will settle in Atchison
and vicinity. Among them are to be found
all the professions, trades, and cultivators
of the soil. Many Of them have abund-
ant means; others, in moderate circum-
stances, come to seek their fortunes In
Kansas; and more orderly, intelligent,
well-raised set of young gentlemen we
have never seen in any country. Several
have purchased lots in town, and are build
ing their houses on them; others have
bought CLAIMS and are making farms, and
some gone to work at their trades, pro-
ressions, Sc All seem TO be well-pleased
with the country, and have gone to work
like men who come, not simply 10 vote, but
to improve the country; and we feel cer-
tain that, # needed, they will make good
officers and good soldiers, without much
drilling.

Coon sENTIMEsTs.-The following is
the closing paragraph of Miss Murray's
"Cuba, the United States and Canada" !"
It contains sentiments which we are sure
viii be responded to by all right minded
men who have the interest and well being
of the country at heart:
7" And now farewell, thou giant Repub-
lie. have long since left thy shores !:
but have brought with me and fondly
cherish the recollection of the many pleas
ant days spent within thy borders, and
Of all those friends whose uneeasing hos
pitality and kindness tracked my path
without intermission. I care not for fill
bosteros and Russian sympathizers I
know that the heart of the intelligence of
thy people, beats with friendly pulsatioas,
TO which that of my own counuyrnen rea-
dily responds. All we should, and trust
al we do. mutually desire, is, to encourage
an honorable and increasing rivalry In
arts, science, commerce and good will.
He who would disturb our amicable rela-
tions, be he Briton or American, is I'M
worthy Of the name of man for he is
"a foe to liberty, humanity and christi
anity."

Valiant.

Tie arch traitor Wilson. from Massa-
chusel,s, said the Missourians left Law
renee, preferring to fight another day.
In days of yore, it was said.
ssHe who fights and runs away,
May live to fight another day"
That is the way with the Missouri Ruff
fans they are waiting for g another day.
One thing is certain. if Mr.. Wilson will
venture South of Mason s. Dixon's line,
be will be welcomed, "not with bloody
hands to hospitable grave but with a
fine coat of tar and feathers.

BIT LAND sPEcuLArGRs.-Ana affidart
has been sent out from the Land Office Bu.
reau, requiring all those who entered lands
at the reduced price of twelve and hall
cents per acre, to swear that they are now
in the occupancy of said land. and ha,.
cultivated a portion of it J; and also cor.
roborating affidavit has to be made by some
friend Of the person who entered the land.
stating that he knows him to be the iden.
tical person who entered said land, and
that ne is and has been residing on said
land. This regulation completely upset
the calculation of parties, who entered
these lands for speculative purposes only,
who, though they were under the impres.
sion that they could make the affidavit. in
the first place, cannot find it in their con-
science to swear by those sen, out by the
department, as necessary to the perfection
OF their titles. II is said that bill is TO
be sent to Congress, which viii provide 70.
refunding money TO those who have pur.
chased lands of this character, and cannot
comply with the requirements Of the De.
partment.

SCHOOL All honor to those
who labor in school-rooms," says Richter;
q for although they may fall from notice
ike spring blossoms. they fall that the
fruit may be born" An idea as beauil-
full as true. No class of persons perform
more valuable on more important labor,
than do these whose vocation it is to teach
little children and youth. They are not
henored as they should be. The lawyer.
the politician, and sometimes the noisy
demagogue, are all more respected than
the sehool-master bat the truth is, they
but operate on minds which he has trained
and but for him. therefore, they would
have to address themselves to masses o.
ignorant and unthinking men.

The WANTS OF THE AGEs.-It is a
mans destiny still to be longing for some
thing and the qualification of one set of
wishes bat prepares the unsatisfied soul
for the conception of another. The child
of year old wants little but food and
sleep; and no sooner is he supplied with
sufficient allowance of either of those very
excellent things than he begins whimper-
ing, or yelling it may be, for the other. At
three, the young urchin becomes enarnored
of sugar-plums, apple pie, and confection-
ary. Atsix, his Imagination runs to kites,
marbles, and tops, and an abundance Of
play-lime. At ten, the boy wants to leave
school and have nothing to do 5ut go bird
nesting and blackberry hunting. At fif-
teen he wants a beard and watch, ard
a pair OF Wellington boots. At twenty he
wishes to cut a figure and ride horses !;
sometimes his thirst for display breaks out
In dandyIsm. and sometimes In poetry :;
he wants sadly to be in love, and takes it
for granted that all the ladies are dying
for him. The young man Of twenty-five
wants a wife and at thirty he longs to be
single again. From thirty to forty he
wants to be rich, and thinks more Of MAX
ing money than spending it. About this
time, also. he dabbles in politics and wants
office. AT fifty he wants excellent dinners
and conitsi wine and cOnSidersa nan IN the
afternoon indispensable. The respectable
old gentlman of sixty wants to retire from
business with snug independence OF three
or four hundred thousands, TO marry his
daughter, set up his sons. and live in the
country: and then for the rest Of his life
he wants to be young again.

We learn that the Committee appointed
by the House of Representatives, to inves-
tigate the elections Of Whitfield and
Reeder, and all other matters which has
transpired in our Territory, viii meet to-
morrow at Leavenworth City. and COM
mence their investigation. Rumor says
that their proceedings are all to be secret
with closed doors. We can hardly
credit the rumor, though when we reflect
on the outrage perpetrated in the passage
of the Resolutions appointing the Com
mittee !; upon the unprecedented attempt
on the part of the House, to constitute
itself grand inquisition-a usurpation of
power without parallel IN our history,
save In the appointment of the infamous
Hiss Committee by the Massachusetts,
Legisiature-we ought not to be surprised
that the Committee should seek to hide
their deeds in darkness!-
We can easily appreciate one motive
for such course-the one that the hired
purjurers who have so long and so basely
slandered our people, might in secret be
induced to make statements which they
would never dare make in public, in the
presence Of those who could not only
brand them with falsekood, but subject
them to the penalties of perjury.
We need hardly say that the majority
of the Committee will call only on the
hirelings of the Emigrant Aid Societies,
the scurf of the Eastern cities. They
will never call on Gen. Atchison, Gen.
Stringfellow, or any OF the thousands Of
honorable pro-slavery men, whose word
would weigh down the oaths of regi-
ment of LYING abolitionists. This Com
mittee will in secret-in the dark-receive
the infamous SANDERS which the abolition
lists will delight in infabricating against these
gentlemen, without giving them an oppor-
tunity TO brand the liars.
If the Committee expect TO get credit
given to their report, let them call on Gen.
Atchison and Gen. Stringfellow, who are
constantly UCIlOullCcu DIS Lie iGdultlSs ilOf-
ing spirits in all the pretended outrages
in our Territory-as the leaders of the
armed invasions by Missourians. Let
them call on the members of the Kansas
Legislature, who must be presumed to
know by whom they were elected. Their
testimony would, if it established the al
legged outrages, be credited-be conclusive
against them. If the abolitionists on the
Committee, are shrewed lawyers, as re-
ported, they will perceive the capital to be
made by this course and if they have
any faith in the statements Of Reeder, and
his vouchers, will adopt it. No testimony
is SO powerful as that of an adversary.
We predict that not one of the gentlemen
we have referred to, will ever be called on
by the majority Of the Committee. They
dare not call on any but hireling knaves
and public liars.

sNEw HAMPsHIRB ELEorIoN.-The de-
mocrats have made a net gain of s. 900 and
balanced the abolition KNOWN othing
strength in the popular voice, and have
made net gain Of l26 in the popular
branch Of the legislature.
While the democratic candidate for gov

Nothing carfsidaie is cestainig defeated.
We are enabled to. annoance that, upon
the direc, national issues presented. in the
Presidents recent messages to Congress,
the New Hamshire democracy has farg-
er vote than ever before IN the political
history of the State. Gen. Pierce's ma
lority in New Hampshire In the Preslden-
tiaI election was more than thirteen thoas-
and, and yet the aggregate vote cast for
the democratic candidate, for governor
(Col. Wells) on Tuesday, will exceed
thar of General Pierce in 1862 by at least

a Short Trip IN the Territory.

A few days since, having business Ia
Wesport. We visited, by the way, Kansas
City, Westport, Leayenworth, and Wes-
ton. We We're very much gratified at see-
ing the evidence Of the value of Kansas
Territory, commercially, as evinced by the
immense amount of freight being received
and the large number of emigrants daily
arriving.
Thus far the emigration has been almost
exclusively from the South, only one party
having yet arrived from the East. We are
very much gratifed TO find the prospects
so fattering for Southern rights. We met
while at Westport. four gentlemen from
Georgia, who were exploring the Territory
preparatory for the emigration from that
State. The party consisted of Colonel f.
w. Wright, DR.. wv. Bruce, John L.
Dodds, DR.. A. B. Northern and ]. J. Col
lier, all men of standing and influence
Col. Wright being one OF the first lawyers
in Georgia. When such men as these
leave home, wealth, fortune and everything
else that could make life pleasant and
bright, we know thar our cause has nothing
to fear. On returning home, we found our
own town filled with emigrants of the same
stamp, from various portions of the South.
We say to the South. " All is well!"

This party left South Carolina, on the
eth Of March, by the way of Augusta,
Chattanooga, Nashville, and St. Louis.
Their tour through great extent of coun-
try. though full Of interest, appears not TO
have created a moments delay-the ne
cessity of an early local and political in
fluence in the Territory, was the para
mount end. South Carolina has, in COM
mon with her SoHthern sister States, en-
tbarked hartly in behalf of Kansas and
Southern institutions. In every part of
the State, patriotic reference is made,
either of men or money, to deiend a cause
against the immolations of a sacred Fede-
raj Constitution, by men who have perverted
the laws of right and justice, which G cd
has made to govern the relations of men
and to prevent man from robbing his fell
low man.. Several parties from this State,
are now en- route for Kansas
At meeting of this party, held on
board the steamer Martha Jewett, at
Atchison, w. II. Jenkins, Esq. was called
to the chair, and the following gentlemen
were named Committee to report the
following Resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted, viz: John Yanderhorst,
]. w. Stevens. and L. TomIinson:
Resolped, That as party of South Caro-
linians, -emigrating to Kansas under the
direction of Mr.. L. G. Palmer, we tender
to him, Mr.. p, the. sense Of our warm
est feelings for the gentlemanly manner in
which he has conducted tins party on their
route, and assure him that he has our most
sincere wish for his future prosperity, and
that this is the expression of hearts who
highly esteem and respect him.
Resotred, That we likewise express TO
Capt Silver and the officers OF the Mar
tha Jewett, our thanks for the courteous
and gentlemanly treatment received at
their hands, while passengers; and we
wish them many returns of successful
trips:
Resolred, That the Chair be requested
