N Our subscription list is undergo
ing a very gratifying increase, and is ex-
ceeding our most sanguine expectations.
Our advertising patronage is gradually
increasing. Scarcely mail arrives, but
brings us numbers of subscribers, from
all parts of the Union; and scarcely day
passes, but persons rom the back coun.
try call in and subscribe. We are very
thankful for the praises which are bestow-
ed upon the Chief. from all quarters, and
win endeavor to deserve them. 1t shall
be our aim to make a good paper, and
when the mails are regulated, all subscri-
bers will receive it regularly. We may
occasionally say things distasteful to
some; but they will please remember that
everybody cannot be pleased at the same
time. One thing we cannot do-and that
is, send back numbers to new subscribers
We regret this but We are entirely out
of the earlier numbers, and will hereafter
have to supply new subscribers, from the
time their favors are received.

HFrom OHIO, we learn that iht

SFrom Ohio, we learn that the
crops are promising. Wheat is excel
lent ; corn is somewhat short. but with
good prospect for fair crop; and to-
bacco promises well. The season has
been cool and wet, the same as in all parts
Of the country; but this has not had the
bad effect on the crops that was antici-
pated. The croakers are at work, grum-
bling about failures Of crops, as usual
but the reports are favorable, from every
direction.

TALKING SESsE.-The editor of the
St. Joseph Gazette has travelled extensive
ly over the West, especially in Kansas
and Nebraska, and knows just where
good locations may be found. Last week.
in speaking of the Celebration and Sale
to come off here, he wrote as follows, ev-
cry word of which is true:
The opportunity, too, Of uniting business with
pleasure will be another inducement which will
not be d;sregarded, and while we celebrate the
natal day Of american independence we will
have the privilege OF purchasing property IN
town whose prospects for being the largest city
in Northern Kansas are better than are those Of
any other in the Territory. In TACT, We deem
White Cloud almost without a rival Ia any par
ticular above Leavenworth City.

HJudge Williams, late of Iowa,
who spoke here on the Fourth, has re-
Gently been appointed Judge in this
Territory, to ELL the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation of Judge Cunningham
the Washington papers have it, that
he is to take Lecompte's place. The
Judge seems to entertain the right kind

Quoted, and all good citizens will unite in

i. o. o. Fin another column will
be found call for meeting Of all mem
bers of the Order of Odd Fellows, to be
held at our Office, on the evening specified
in the call, to consider upon measures for
the establishment of a Lodge Of that hon.
orable Order in this place. Odd Fellow
ship requires no commentator from any
one; and only those who have been in
the habit Of holding weekly communion
in the Lodge Room, can fully realize the
absence OF such an institution here. With
the growing importance of White Cloud
the Lodge should keep pace. and make
her bene6cent influences be felt and &C
knowledged, wherever there is suffering,
misery or want to be alleviated, or good
to be done.

Two RIVAL CITIEs.-Chicago and st.
Ions appear to be animated by sort Of
rivalry for position as the leading centre
of the ultimate West-we use the phrase
in its present sense, without referring to
the future. An official census Of St.
Louis having Just been publishsd, giving
the population at 126. 900, the folks IN
Chicago rejoice that it is no more, as they
estimate their own aggregate at 100, 600,
and have thus fair chance Of overtaking
st. Louis by the time the next national
census is to be made.

one OF THE FIGHTs.-Among the pat
riotic 6isticuifs, on the 4th, was one be-
tween two self-sacri6cing individuals, in
consequence of the dislike of one of the
parties to person who didn't care straw
about either of them I; and it was little
amusing. The champion of the individ-
ual referred to. stepped up to another fell
low, and addressed him thus
"Sir, understand that you have brag-
ged that you can whip BOhbastes Bona
parte Gobsucker, or any Of his friends"
"I don't recollect," said the other
of ever having said so but / believe
can do it."
"Then." continued the first, cpl in
form you that 1 am one of his friends !"
Then. neighbor," replied the other
al can whip you p
At that, they pitched in. The 6ght
was short and sweet, and GoSsucker'l
friend crawled out of the sand, on the riv
er bank, pretty well mauled. 1t is sale
that Gobsucker slept as soundly as ever
that night, notwithstanding an admirel
of his wonderful qualities, had made 4
martyr and fool of him on his account

also passed an election law, Perhaps
they take satisfaction in this innocent
amusement-fOr it can be called by no

Kansas wish to accomplish anything in
favor of their cause, they will have to cut
loose from the New York Tribune and it;
