WANT OF LABOR IN THE wKsr-The St Louis
Democrat Of the 10th instant, has the following
statements respecting the want Of mechanics and
laborers in Kansas:
We have received information from Sc yeral re-
Liable gentlemen, just arrived from Kansas that
large number of mechanics and laboreis are
now wanted in that Territory.
In several Of the towns they have not sufficient
mechanics to do half the work which Is required
and for which they would receive from So 50 TO
80 per day. One gentleman tells US that there is
not single shoemaker, tailor, blacksmith or tim
smith in the town Of Osawattamie, nor in Paoli.
In Lykens county. In fact, there is deficiency in
all the mechanical branches throughout the Ter
ritory. Two or three builders monopolize all the
work in town, and they busly engage ed
In erecting dwellings on their own account that
they refuse to do so, and are unable to attend to
outside work.
I.aborers wanted all over the Territory at
better prices than can be obtained in any other
part Of the country. We are assured that there
Is no exaggeration in this statement, and il we
entertained the slightest doubt Of its correctness
we should not publish II for the purpose Of de-
ceiving those to whom such Information may be
important.
At the present time, when so many persons are
thrown out OF employment and when the ap-
preaching winter may bring with II great dis
tress, 1t would be well for those who are thus
situated, to look i'm time for the means Of subsis.
tence and protection for themselves and families
Kansas offers the best field for the UNEMPLOYED
and industrious mechanic and laborer Of tho
United States. The gentlemen who communi-
Gated this information We know to be reliable /;
they have left their names at our Office, and NAV
he written to upon the subject.

The Statue of Washington safely landed on
Capitol Square-A Labor Of Love-Popuiar
EnthuSiasm.

From the Richmond Enquirer, 25th inst
About p. m yesterday we were astonished to
see the monster box, containing the bronze eQues-
tflan statue OF Washington, moving briskiy up
the hedVy grade OF Ninth street, on Mr.. ] II An
derson's solid ad-iron wheel wagon, drawn
oy The hands and hearts of more than n thousa nd
oil oar citizens, including all ages The box
weighing nineteen tons, was conveyed from the
head of the dock along seventeenth ST. to Main,
and there, the horses showing want Of power,
me people took bodily possession Of the immense
case, and, AMIDST joyous shouting, carried ID up
Main to Ninth, along Ninth to Boad. along
Broad to Tenth, and thence through an opening
In the iron railing into It's proper place in front of
the Monument
1t was grand and delig htful spectacle, a. the
monntain-box, drawn by hundreds OF the cit-
zens, with agent McCioy and Capt Sam Free
man and Corporal rschman, Of the Blues with
their nag, on the wagon In front, overcame all
obstacles, and was safely landed, amidst enthu-
siastic cheerings. Only few moments suftced
Tor the crowd to tear up the iron railing and curb
stones and contiguous trees, to make a passage
into the Square. The Mayor Of the city was
raised TO the top of the box, and after neat
speech urged the people to call the Governor
out. Gov. Wise could not resist the hearty en-
the exits of the Capitol,) and, escorted by the
Mayor, was welcomed by the crowd, who, by the
al OF rope and their own shoulders, elevated
him on the box
Just then the salutes were red BY detachments
OF Blues and Young Guard and patriotic airs ne.
formed by the Armory Band The Governor
stood beneath the " stars and stripes - held up
by a number OF citizens, and addressed the i'm
Inrnse audience with cloquence and powerful
effect. Alter few pertinent remarks from Capt
Mayo, the crowd dispersed, leaving the box
safely in its place. We have never seen more
picturesque and animdting spectacle-the more
so as 1t was entirely unexpected by everybody.
