Lsnd onees IN Kansas.

Three additional Land Districts are
established in Kansas, which are thus
described:
That all that portion of the Pawnee
Land District in the Territory of Kan
sas, created by the section OF the act
approved twenty-second July, eighteen
hundred and ifty-four, entitled AN
act to establish the offices OF Surveyor
General OF New Mexico. Kansas and
Nebraska, TO grant donations to actual
settlers therein, and for other purposes,
which is situated North of the Nortk
bank of the Kansas River, and East
OF the line which divides ranges eight
and nine East, shall constitute a sep
crate district, to be called the Dele
ware Land Dist, let; all that portion OF
said Pawnee District which is situated
South of the nearest Township line to
the paralleel of thirty-eight degrees OF
Moth latitude, TO be hereafter determ-
ined by the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office, shall constitute an
additional district, to be called the
Usage Land District; and all that por-
tion of said Pawnee District which lies
west of the line dividing ranges eight
and nine East and North of the nearest
township line to the parallel of thirty
eight degrees of North latitude, shall
constitute district. to be called the
Western Land District, the location of
the offises for which shall he designated
by the President of the United States,
and shall by him, from time to time, be
changed as the public interest may
seem to require
The remaining portions of the acts
relate to appointments of Registers and
Receivers, designating the time OF
sale, &c.

The Road to Kans s.

Persons on their way to Kansas,
will find it to theirinterest to patronize
the Chicago, Alton. and St. Louis Rail
road. They should buy. st. Louis
sticket 10 Leavenworth of D. SLATER,
81, Leyee, or of SIMMONS 4 LEApsEAr-
"a, by way of the Pacific Railroad. by
which they will save two or three
days over the river route. and not cost
one cent more. The danger by rail-
roads is no greater than by steamboats,,
IS carefully compiled statistical Ia
bles abandantly prove. We don't
advise sil persons to disembark at
Leayenworth. A ticket through to
that point will cost no more at st.
Louis th an will one to Kansas Ci-
~. while should they take one to the
latter place, and desrie to pass on to
Delaware or Leavenworth, an extra
$3.50 win be demanded. Buy tickets
to Leayenworth. and disembark at
such point as will suit your. convent
enes the best. We are prepossessed
in favor of Delaware or Leavenw orth,
and think but few months will elapse
when nearly all our travel from and to
St. Louis. as well as our shipping bust
ness, will be done ct Delaware. OuE
reason for this conviction is based on
sAs fact that Delaware is several miles
nearer Lawrence than any other point
on the Nissouri river. No person
who is scqusintsd With the geographi'
cal position of ths country. can con.
troYert this fact.
