The suspense and uncertainty mani
Tested by our friends in Chickasaw
and elsewhere relative to the meeting
for choosing delegate from this Sen
atorial District to represent us in the
convention for revising the State Con-
stitution, is at length relieved. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. II. r. Chatterton (of
what place we know not) is chairman
Of the Republican Committee Of this
Senatorial District, and has issued a
call for a meeting to be held at De-
corah on the 18th proximo. This call
may be found in another column.
From an article in the DEBORAH Repub-
-hcan it appears that a Republican
meeting had been called at Howard,
by mass meeting held in Chickasaw
county. The Republican says -,
We have just had a note handed to
US, written, by Mr.. Tucker of, Chick
asaw county, Stating that at a mass
meeting held in that county on the
sixth of September it was unanimous
ly declared that the convention should
he heldat Howard, in Howard County,
Iowa. These gentlemen did not know,
probably, that we had senatorial
district committee, or they would not
have ordered this convention RI ha
held at that point. ~
4 We hope our friends of Chickasaw
will correct this Immediately, as the
district is very large, and to have Del.
egats come SO far for nothing would
be asking too much. '..1

From Kansas.

Both the St. Louis Democrat Gree
State), of Sept. 22d, and the St. Louis
Republican (Pro Slavery of the same
date, agree in the statement that the
Missourians are returning from Kan
sas. The Republican has the follow
ing: The steamer David Tatum ar
rived yesterday afternoon from St. Jo-
seph. She left that port ON Wednesday
last. At Kansas she took on board
about $50 citizens of Missouri, who, in
obedience to the proclamation of Gov.
Geary, had given up their military or
ganization and returned to Missouri.
They were principally from the coun-
ties of Howard, Boone, Salina, Cooper
and Franklin. Lawrence was in pos.
session of United States troops, by
whom 80 Of Lanes men had been made
prisoners. Lane fed from Lawrence
with the remainder Of his ragamuffins
and was in Nebraska.
The train from jefferson City last
evening brought down several gentle
men direct from Kansas. They were
passengers on the Aubry, and bring
the latest news. From one of them we
learn that the whole of Gen. Reds
force had been disbanded, and had re-
turned to their homes. Gov Geary
was at Lecompton with 1000 United
States troops, and determined to main
tain the peace and execute the laws.
Under his orders ninety men had been
taken prisoners at Lawrence. The re-
port of Lane and his band having fed
to Nebraska is confirmed.

high winds, people cannot be too care
full about fire. Stove tunnels should
be looked to and every, precaution Ia

which fires may occasion. We have

fact that there is such place as Nebras-

the geographical centre of the United

Corn, wheat, potatoes, oats, and
hemp all grow luxuriantly, the cultiva-
tion Of which readily yields per hand
from 81, 900 to 81, 200 per annnm. The
hemp culture is more profitable than
any other crop rasised in the United
States. At this time in Missouri the
farmers are making from $7OO. to $500
to the hand from hemp, without mate
rally interfering with their corn and
wheat crops. Horses, cattle, hogs, and
sheep are raised at little or no Cost
all kinds Of poultry do web deer, wild
turkeys, prairie hens, &c. are abundant.

flourish, and are built more rapidly
than on the eastern bank, and for the
reason that all the produce raised west
of the river must find its way to the
river for shipment. The Swiss system
prevails of the farmers living in the
towns instead of being isolated on

Mn. FrELDs: If it would not be asking
you to make too great departure from
your uniform course, | should like to
have through your paper a small chance
at the editors Of the Joarnoi, for the no
tice they were pleased to take Of me in
their last issue. That paper has been
distinguished for its chivalrous tone ever
since it put on its Know-nothing livery,
but everybody will admit that all its
former vaiorous exploits have been
cclipsed by this Quixotic attack upon
your poor Carrier Boy. And what do
you suppose was his offence simply
that he was fortunate enough to have it
in his power to observe the timc-hon-
ored custom Of greeting the patrons Of
the press with New Years lay, when
their own Carrier, (whom, by the way,
/ hold in much higher regard than his
cmployers) relying upon their promise
to prepare one for him, had been disap-
pointed. The reason why they failed to
send out an address from their Office is a
matter Of no concern to me, but | cannot
help thinking that they must have con-
cluded " the game was not worth the
CANDLE" that is, it was not worth the
time, trouble and expense Of getting up
one for NINETEEN SUBSCRIBERS
the number they have in this town--all
counted.

my thanks for the smooth ftp he so gem
erously gave me for a copy Of my adj

he can have his change. The coin itself
