10 Planters as an article in every way superior and

| ties are dissipated in the aIr, which ls plainly TO be
| perceived by the strong ammonlcals smell constant
" emitted by it until its strength is gone. Bone
dust is nothing more than Phosphate of Lime, and
this. besides being a strong and valuable manure,
| fixes the ammonia in the Guano, and retains it un-

Kansas in q Muss.

The Freesoilers are doing their best to
bring about a collision between the two
parties in the Territory. We have receiv-
ed during the past week, several accounts
of fights coming off between Pro-Slavery
men on the one side and FreesoiIers on the
other, and in every instance the difficulties
were commenced by an improper interfer-
ence on the part ofthe AboIitionists, and
resulted with disastrous consequences to
them. AS there is an object to accomplish
we cannot wonder at their great desire to
keep this Territory in broil. They we'll
know that unless they can keep up an ex-
cltement here and misrepresent the facts
in the East, that tneir supplies of money
and provisions would be cut short. II is a
matter of speculation then with them, and
they are silrewd enough to see the conse-
quences that would follow, did they permit
affairs in Kansas to remain quiet long
enough to give thei- Northern brethren a
chance to cool their blood. We think,
however, that their plans of action will be
changed, as the courage of their leaders is
fast vanishing into s'thin air." and the bull
lets of the Border Ruffians," they have
found, are Jewels not easily worn.

our Town and County.

One year ago the business OF Atchison
consisted of ons store and two dram shops.
At the close of the year 1856. we had ten
large business establishments, two black
smith and two wagon-making shops, two
drug stores, one saddle and harness manu-
Factory, two boot and shoe stores, steam
saw mill. and tin shop. AT the opening
of navigation, there will be opened, in ad-
dition to the above six dry goods houses
two wholesale groceries, two large provis-
ion stores, and four general commission
houses.
In the learned professions, we have
three physicians and nine lawyers. Two
hundred thousand brick, made and put up
last season, and our friend Bennett is max
ing his preparations to burn and put into
buildings over million before next fall
He is now making the foundation for a
large. store room, and as soon as the wealth
er & will only let him." viii commence
"piling up the brick" at the rate of about
ten thousand pc, day.
We have two fine hotels, three boarding
houses, and two livery stables where horses,
carriages, sleighs and wagons can be had
at all times. Anscxet We have not half
enough of any OF lhe above except of law
yers and doctors Our country is too heal
thy for the doctors, and our citizens are so
good that there are no disputes for the law
yers to setth.
Our county is the best-all things con-
sidered-ia the Territory. In the first
place, the land is as good as can be found |;
there is as much timber, more coal. the fin-
est water, and the title to the land is un-
doubted. Then we have the advantage of
being farther west than any other river
county in the Territory. and our town is
twenty-five miles further on the California,
Utah, and Laramie road than any other
town in Kansas; is the starting point for
the Utah trade. and all the Indian trade of
the west and northwest. and We have not
single man in the town who has ever yo-
ted the free-nigger ticket.

TEE INDIANS OF kANsAs.-The Free
soil papers of Lawrence have attempted to
create the impression that the Indians in
this Territory sympathized with their party,
and was willing to assist them in the event
of collision. Such is not the case. An
acquaintance of over eight years with the
more civilized Indians, warrant US in say
ing that they are nearly unanimous in fa-
vor of sustaining the Pro-Slayery Party
Many of the wealthier class are now Slave
owners, and have been so for years. II
such was not the case, the low and theiv-
ing class of paupers that compose the Abo-
lition party of Kansas, are characters, de-
spised alike by the Indian and White man.
We never expec, to need, or except if Of
fered. the assistance Of the Indians In re-
storing peace in Kansas; but merely give
these facts, to set them in their proper light
before the country. The Indians of Kan
sas are favorable to the extension of South
ern Institutions over their Territory.

Signs Of the Times.

That we are now at the most critical pc
riod in the history of our country, none
can deny. Every paper we see is filled
with portents of :" evil omen" Sharp's
rifles, armed bands forming for Kansas, in
the North and South, forms the staple Of
every newspaper. In Old Virginia-the
mother of States and statesmen, of presi-
dents, patriots and herOes-the gauntlet is
thrown down before her sister State, foI
outrages upon her citizens, with the decla-
ton that unless redress is given, declara-
of hestilities will be made.
What is to be the end of all this We
hope and trust that common sense" fol
which the American people are noted, may
come to, our aid and drive out fanaticism
which now has the ascendancy. IF not
there must be separation. Before that
takes place, however, we must secure the
"bone of contention Kansas; for that
lost, there would be nothing to contend
about, and we would only have to sitdowr
and see the South prove a " second" edition
of Hayti. Is the South prepared for this
If not, bestir yourselves.

President Piercs's Kansas Message.

We nave read, with the profoandest sat-
isfaotion, the President message on the
subject of Kansas affairs. He proves
himself to be entitled to the lasting graft.
tude Of every State Rights man in the
Union, and particularly in the Southern or
slave States Whilst cur own press inthe
South have never seemed to understand
the true state OF affairs here. but rather to
shrink from an investigation, the President
las taken the matter up, and shown con-
ciusively that Reeder was the first and
prime cause of ali our difficulties, and that
the course pursued by the Free State party
here, has been factious and reasonable.
We are very much gratified TO find that
the Southern States dre approaching the
patriotic positions assumed by the Presi.
dent, and we hope that he may be the
standard bearer of the Democratic or State
Rights party IN the race next summer.
His manly position on the questions at is-
sue with Great Britain, as well as his pa.
triotic sentiments on the great question now
dividing the North and South, points him
OH, as the man for the times. IF he is sus-
tanned by the North, then We may have
hope of the Unicn--if not, it is high time
for the South to know it, that she may be
taking the necessary steps for self-preser-
vation.
