Signsof Promise.

The most encouraging thing we have seen for
Kansas, is the re-establshment there of Free
Press. The " Herald of Freedom" that our
readers will remember was destroyed by the
Border Rufians, and the type, presses, &C.,
thrown into the river, has been revived, and
will work all the better and harder now for free
dom in that territory. We cannot better ex
plain the objects and prospects Of this Herald of
Freedom that is to be-. than in giving some ex-
tracts from its first number. 'f @
Our BUSINESS WANTs.-On the 1st of May
last our printing Office was destroyed. We had
three presses and large supply of good type,
worth altogether $4,000. Looking upon our
ruin from our prison, we saw no way open till
Mrs. Brown, like true wife, offered to 90 and
solicit donations to re-establish the press.
She went, and Providence smiled on her ef.
forts. Kind friends greeted her everywhere
Their donations have furnished US With one press
and type for small Office.
Out of this fund we must supply all our sub
scribers the arrearage due them. We hope they
will consider his, and every one send new
subscriber; and all the advertisements they can
get.
kOuR HEAD.-Thc engraving and several of
the letters at the head of our paper, were fished
out of the Kansas river, after the destruction of
the Office in May, and were saved to adorn the
new issue. Fur want Of an opportunity to get
letters to supply the missing ones from type
foundry, we have whitfield them out with pen
knife We doubt the ability of the critical to
point out the four letters, from the printed im
preston, thus made.
MoxuNKST, TO BoRpER RuFrIANs.-We have
erected the heavy iron frames of the two hand
presses belonging to the " Herald of Freedom
office on pieces of New England granite, Of
which our imposing stone was made, and which
| was broken by Border Rufians in front OF our
new office, nscribing on one side of the largest:
destroyed by Border Ruffians, May al, 1885, y
These presses shall remain as lasting monuments
of the infamy of Border Ruffians. The day viii
come when those who were afraid of the truth,
| and who sought to smother it, would willingly
give up their earthly possessions to erase that
| dark crime from their memory, and the I'D
spot won't out sse
FILL1NG up.-Emigrants are arriving daily and
| in large numbers, by the way Of the Missouri
| river. We hear of no late violence along the
river, and believe none exists, and that persons
| will be perfectly secure in travelling in small
numbers to Kansas, if they keep silent on the
exciting issues Of the day. The late excitement
| has diminished the emigration Of families, bu
i has hurried forward the larger class Of young
men and adventures. II Missouri prefers thi
class of emigration to families who bring thei
i household goods and all their wealth with them
they will continue their outrages upon our peo
pie, and keep up the movements looking for
ward to our complete snbjugation.
/ The spirit that has prompted the, re-establish
ment Of this paper, is most commendable one
and one that promises good to that territory
