The road is now open across Iowa to
Nebraska City, and thence direct to To-
peka. the terminus of the Northern
route. The track is for the most part
well beaten and in good condition.
The Journey by this route is somewhat
tedious, but it is independent and very
cheap. A small family can come this
way, provided they have the team and
wagon, at an outlay which would be re-
quired by single individual to come by
the rivers, and they can bring respect

Topeka is a very pleasant place for
residence, and will be place of eonsid-
cradle political and commercial impor-
lance. There are, however, many other
points which are equally deserving Of
attention. Leavenworth, on the Nilsson

Territory. Lawrence comes next-botf
thriving, go-ahead places. There are al
so the towns of Quindaro and Wyan
dotte, at the mouth of the Kansas river
Lecompton, Tecumseh, Indianola, Kan
sapolis, Umontown, Waubonsa, Manhat

Greedy, Plmouth, etc, in the North, and
Osawottomie, Brownville, Council City

To Postmasters and Subscribers

We wish that postmasterS when the
Standard is refused to be taken from
their offices, would inform US at the time
of such refusal. We find it very I'M
profitable to furnish papers three, four,
or five weeks, and even for as many
months, for nothing, after the time has
expired for which they have been
paid.
We have just received a private letter
from gentleman in Greensboro, in
which he says he is requested to inform
us that three subscribers have refused to
take the Standard from that office after
the time was out they paid for it, which
was on the first of january. We have
had no knowledge before of such refusal,
and had supposed they were still taken
from the office. 1t is contemplate, to
say the least, for any subscriber to allow
us to send him the paper three months
without informing US or the postmaster
that he does not wish to take them
But if the postmaster has been made
aware of the fact-why, he has not done
his duty, that's all.
Hereafter, subscribers must inform us
of their refusal to take the paper longer,
before Or at the time for which they have
paid expires, otherwise they will be con-
tinued and they will have to pay for it.
When a man subscribes for paper
and pays for it six months or a year, and
orders it to be stopped at the end of the
six months or the year, it is marked or
the books to be stopped at that time
But if he pays for a certain time and
gives us no order to stop at the end o.
that time, it is the practice to continue
them until ordered stopped, and all ar.
rearages paid. His silence upon the sub
Iject is proof that he wishes to have i
continued. This is the law of newspa
pers.

The Governorship of Kansas.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-(Corres-
pondence Commercial AdyertaSer.) The
Kansas difficulty is the chief one now be-
fore the administration. A man of such
character and standing as will meet the
crisis is not easily found. Mr.. Buchanan
has personally urged Mr.. Robert J.
Walker to accept the Office, not as rou-
tine official, but as a high commission to
restore order in Kansas, and prevent a
civil war. Gen. Persifer F. Smith, who
is here, thinks that Mr.. Walker would
do that in thirty days. Mr.. Walker has
listened to the representations and pro-
misses of the administration, and he will
accept the Office, with a view to enhance
his reputation, and at the same time, pro-
baby, to lay the administration under
immense obligations to him. He will
not remain there after he shall have eff
iected the high object of his mission, and
his secretary, whom he is to choose, will
remain as the Governor. He is not only
to 60 out with full powers, but viii dictate
his own instructions. He will, as be-
lieve, do justice in regard to the political
as well as the personal quarrels which
prevail in Kansas.
WASHINGTON, March, 27.-(Cor-
respondence EUening PoSt) Governor
Geary declared his intention of leaving
Washington tomorrow morning, on
which Mr.. Buchanan desired his address.
as there might be some further occasion
for his services. 1t is, l understand.
Gov GeaIy's intention, after brief re-
sidence in Westmoreland county, Pa, to
revisit Washington. He will not under
any circumstances accept a re-appoint-
ment after the office has been offered to
another man, although he might have
done so had it been rendered to him first
with the same almost absolute powers
with which it is proposed to clothe R. j.
Walker.
The Washington Star of last evening
says MIR. Walker has accepted F; of this
tact we have no longer a doubt. We
have also every reason to believe that
the post of Territorial Secretary Of
State has been rendered to Hon. F. P.
Stanton of Tennessee.

The Canada Railway Accident.

Mr.. VIM. R. Marshall, of Woodstock,
who was among the passengers who were
plunged into the Desjardins Canal near
Hamilton, and who escaped alive, gives
the following account of his experience
on that terrible occasion
"While descending, I retained perfect
consciousness, and felt we were going
down some awful precipice; not voice
was heard in the descent. On reaching
the bottom, there was one general crush,
after which I found myself in total dark
ness, hemmed in on every side, and
crushed almost to sufocation by human
bodies and broken seats. The blood
oozed from my mouth, and it seemed as
if every breath | drew would be the last.
The next few minutes were the most aw-
full ever witnessed oh, that it may
never be my lot to experience the like
again. Some prayed, others called upon
the saints, and seemed writing in the
deepest agony. can only liken tho
place to slaughter house. The blood
streamed down over my face and clothes
as if some huge beast had been slain
above me. In this fearful situation were
placed eighty or ninety human beings,
who few moments before rejoiced in
excellent health and spirits.
We remained in the position above de-
scribed for about ten minutes, during
which time spoke to several around me,
advising them to be patient and wait for
help. The top of the car was then
knocked in, giving US light and air, and
enabling us to breathe more freely. At
this instant a crowbar or something of
the kind from without grazed my temple,
and the blow was about to be repeated,
when by sudden effort 1 grasped the
instrument, and called upon the person
holding it to desist or he would kill me.
Immediately afterwards hand from
the size | should think it was woman's)
was placed completely over my mouth
so as to nearly sufocate me. With great
exertion removed it, and shortly after
being relieved from the pressure above,
1 succeeded in dragging myself from the
wreck, and reaching the edge of the
canal, when was raised to the top by a
chain fastened under my shoulders. On
arriving there was carried to the switch
mans house and received much kindness
from the doctors in attendance, and also
from many of the company's servants
who were anxiously and actively render
ing every assistance in their power to
the unfortunate sufferers"
A dispatch from Toronto says:
"The inquest in reference to the
dreadful slaughter upon the Hamilton
Railway, discloses a most reckless man
agement on the part of the company
who suffered the fatal bridge to continue
in condition wholly unfit for the impor.
tant uses to which it was daily subject

ton in the matter, and viii do all in its
