The Missouri Rufians Tanned.

While purchasing provisions for
the Kansas sufferers in the border
towns of Missouri, recently, Mr.Arny,
the General Agent of the National
Kansas Committee, came in contact
with some of the Rufians who had
been most rabid against the Free State
men while the war continued, and was
agreeably surprised to find them quite
tame, apparently having lost all their
former ferocity. Mr.. Army came with
money in his hand to purchase -four,
groceries, &c., and they had the sense
to see that it was far better to, drive
profitable trade with him than to go
bucaneering in Kansas, and made all
sorts of fair promises for the future.
The arms that were taken from emil
grants last summer should be restored
to their owners, and the freest pass
age given to emigrants bound for Kan
sas On the opening of spring. MIR.
Army expended several thousand dol
lars among the Missourians, and
found his credit so good that mer-
chants freely offered to send -four and
other things to Kansas on his mere
promise to pay for them on his re-
turn, and the offer was in one or two
cases accepted. BY the closing of the
river their trade has been cut of, money
was scarce. and the expenditure of so
much money among them was quite a
windfall. And when Mr.Arny assured
them that if they remained friendly,
the purchase of provisions for Kansas
would amount to some thousands of
dollars a month for several months
to come, they were very much elated,
and more friendly than ever. This
spirit was nowhere more decidedly
manifested than at Kansas ty,where,
only few weeks before, Mr. Army on
passing through did not think it safe
to have his name or business known.
Verify ths almighty dollar is powerful.
But it is proper to say that the Ruff
ans had begun to come to their senses
some time before. Chicago Dem.

you assert that coal is of little accoun.

working. This may be true with ref

excellent quality. tits true that some
of these veins had been pronounced
worthless, by some persons who had
gathered up small detached pieces thst
had been washed for years BY the rains.
but little labor has brought out some
fine, clear specimens, which burn

There is an impression prevailing
to a considerable extent, that il calcu-
lated to prevent the discovery Of coal.
which is, that such lands caanot be
prs-empted consequently many per-
sons are unwilling to give informs
tion of the existence Of coal on their
claims, and if they do say anything
about it, it is generally to the effect
that it is thin and worthless, &c.
