AFoLoGY.--If there are any short
-comings observed in our paper, this
week, they must be laid to the account Of
Mr.. Samuel Lappin-(who, in company
with one or two other gentlemen, are
about establishing Steam Saw, Lath,
Shingle, and Corn Mill at the new and
promising town of Seneca, situated about
the geographical centre Of Nemaha Coun-
ty, which is one of the best Counties in
Kansas, and is rapidly filling up with
settlers. The propretors of this mill are
all gentlemen Of the first water, and will
be prepared to turn out millions Of lum-
Der speaking of sOatsr and millions,
bring us back to the subject upon which
we started. We were saying, that Mr..
Lappin brought into our Office, on pub
LEGATION day, the largest sOater-nsillion we
ever saw, and all hands had to set to and
help derour il, which occupied most of
their time, and they had not much time
to attend to the paper. This is our
apology.

from their office to compete for three hours

800. The compositors of the Gazstte

BUYIxG UP MIssoURI.-The Free States
are buying up Missouri. The st. Louis
Democrat says the sales Of public lands
in that district within the last sixty days,
reached 400,000 acres more than has been
sold for three years previously. The
buyers were almost exclusively from the
free States.
At the Warsaw Office. 100000 acres
have been sold in about the same time,
and the Office is closed. About two thou
sand acres per day are being entered in
the jackson district.
At Palmyra there are only about 15,-
900 acres of government land now sub
ject to entry. Emigrsnts from Iowa are
crowding into the northwestern part Of
the State, where lands at reduced prices,
a milder climate and a more fertile soil
can be had. The prospect Of Missouri
becoming free State is the cause of this
unparalleled activity in the Missouri land
Unsatisfactory.

ENGLISH IGNORANCE.-It is really anu
sing to witness how shockingly ignorant,
even the best informed mon in England
are, upon the most common features Of
our government. A writer in the London
Quarterly. in an article on American sla-
very. denounces the Unitei States Sen
ate" for not expelling P. s. Brooks for
his assault on Sumner. An intelligent
American who would speak Of Lord Pal.
merston or Lord John Russell as members
Of the House Of Lords, would be secuted
for bis Ignorance.

THEY Know Row TO NIKE But IN
KAxsAs.-A correspondent Of the New

A day or two ago gentleman from

solemn and affecting manner represented
to Colonel Cook the ruin which had been
perpetrated by some Of the soldiers on
bridge that crosses one of the ravines that
lie between the eueampmsnt and the town,
AM, presented bin for $50 ~ 'tiIe prob
able cost Of repairs. The Colonel, who
is the embodiment Of politeness and in
tegrity, expressed, his regret 1t the occur
renee, and promised to look after it. In
the course Of the day, therefore, he took
d carpenter with him to the scene Of de-
vastation. examined the injuries commit
ted, proceeded to town, made certain pur-
ehases, returned, and in less than FIVE
