smigrants in Kansas, stating that times are very
hard, the winter fast approaching, and there are
many destitute of any prospect of Drawing its
severity in their present penniless condition.
The Missouri Republican describes the differ

They were then IN companies OF hundreds; they
had tamll y circles. and looked happy; they took
quarters in the cabins of steamboats, and par
took of the luxury of repose and plenteous
table. They were thrifty looking emgrants
who would do honor to any new country. We
now see them in squads of tens and twentfes,
crippled, sickly and apparently poverty strick-
en-crowded upon the decks OF steamboats,.
almost begging their way back to the homes
they left but a few months before.

1t is somewhat remarkable how suddenly
the intense interest felt for Kansas has sub.
sided throughout the country. We now seldom
hear the new territory mentioned. AT last &C

Geary was at Ossawotomie. He had been in
strumental in arresting three or four Of the
rlngleaders in robberies that have been com
mitted in that county. The grand jury had
found true bills against over ninety of the pri-
soners charged with murder in the first degree.

been IN session three weeks, day and night,
