setting forth the advantages of White

pels us to admit that there are numerous
advantages possessed BY other places,
which are denied to White Cloud
Other points may have something to
boast of-and they do boast. But we are
magnanimous, and viii acknowledge the
corn. Let us speak of some of these adj
vantages. To begin-when a piece Of

White Cloud does not. possess sufficient

vaniages are not great enough to make
the lot bring less than was offered for it,
the day before. and. after all. to have il
kno~kea of to the owner. who makes
clear gain, out of pocket of the auc-
tioneer's fec. We cannot boast that one
may stand in an elevated position in our

landing are so poor, that boat can
shove offas soon rs she has accomplished
the purpose for which she landei while
some other places can always boast Of
the presence of boat. because nature has
been so partial to them, that whenever
one attempts to land, she so ef1ertualIy
runs aground on sand-bars. that it re-
quires from three hours to a whole day
to spar her of. And another great dis
advantage to White Cloud is. that she
does not possess citizens so energetic and
devoted to her interests, that they will
destroy every copy of paper they car
find in town, because it happens to be
published in town of which they are
jealous. We might enumerate many
other disadvantages. bnt surely no one
could ask further exercise of our candor,
as it might utterly destroy the prospects

= THE LAND SALES.

The Sales commenced on Wednesday,
the third of june, and concluded on Tues
day. the ninth--oeeupying Just one week.
Everything passed off remarkably peace
ably, with the exception Of several small
''skrimmages" We venture to ssy that
no body Of land has been so near wholly
occupied By claimants, as were the Iowa
Trust Lands. Every quarter and frac-
tion had It's claimant, who secured his
land at the appraised value, save several
unimportant fractions towards the ex-
IRENE West Of the lands. Many amus-
ing incidents occurred at the sales. To
secure claim at its appraised value, the
settler had to reside on his claim, and
consequently be s1izen of the County
in which it was situated and when his
claim was bid Of. he was required to
state the County Of his residence. Some,
By being too honest, or too dumb. or not
posted, came near losing their claims
One stated his residence to be Richardson
County, Nebraska; another, Platte Coun-
ty, Missouri /; and another declared that
he lived in Iowa Point County Each
settler had to prove up" on the day
before his land was offered for sale-tha.
is, be was required 20 state his improve
ments, and have a witness TO verify his
statement. One requirement was, that
each house should have good roof on
il. A few days before the sales, two
young men had taken up adjoining
claims, and put up sol houses. One of
them had roof on his house, and the
other had none. The settler with a roof,
went. one day, to ''prove up" and while
be was gone, the other took the roof and
put it upon his own house, and went, the
next day, and proved up" on it In
this way. both settlers got their claims,
by means of the same roof! Another
''citizen of Brown County" in proving
up" certified that nc had a cabin OF
split logs, with window in it, and was
covered with roof split from logs. 1t
turns out, that his cabin was pen built
Of rails. with small piece sawed ont of

as can be seen in Brown County, we
presume, was never met with, in any

A MoDERx PREAcHER.--MiniSters Of
the gospel were formerly supposed to he
men poor in worldly goods; AMI an oil
book tells u3 of ore who chad not where
to lay his head" But the time for snch
things is passing away. We mentioned.
last week, that ministers. like everybody
else in Kansas. were in for speculation
and why should they not attempt to ac-
quire sufficient means to live at ease. as
well as other people? But some things
look worse in a minister of the gospel
than in worldly men. For instance,
when we hear a man preach with all the
fervency of genuine christian, and with
in few days afterwards hear him offering
any man fifty dollars who will whip, or
any one FIVE hundred who will hang. a
person whom he has conceived to have
dealt unfairly with him, we begin to lose
confidence in his piety. And when we
know that the laws of the country forbid
a man who has pre-empted on Indian or
Government land in on one part of the
Territory, from pre-empting, as soon as
he secures a title to his claim, on similar
land in another part of the Territory
when this minister knows it, and has had
his memory refreshed, by hearing it pro-
claimed from the auctiOneer's Standard
knowing this, when we hear him offering
one hundred and fifty dollars to poor
young men, if they viii violate his law,
that he may derive the benefit of their
crime, we cannot but think that the Cos
pei has been journeying from Jerusalem
to Jericho, and fallen among thieves
We have known such cases.

The Governor has issuel his proclama-

Delegates to each district. The number
Of legal voters is 9.25l which is not as
large as was anticipated. Doniphan

that they should be sober, th;nking, moi

This is not mere township matter, the

the prosperity Of all in every section of
Kansas. This fact being incontrovert-

missioner of Sales of Indian Lands, made
himself hosts Of friends, during the late

fail to make friends everywhere. He did
everything in his power. to the extent that
his sworn duty would allow him, to &C.
commodate the settlers, and let them have
their claims at the appraised value, and
win ever be gratefully remembered by
them. He has given general satisfaction.
and has not, as far as we can learn, made

a substantial manner.

A CHANCE FOR MEcHASIcs.-There is
now an excellent opening at this place,
for mechanics of every calling. Those
who come new, can secure cheaper prop
srty, and establish better run of custom,
than those'who may come several years
hence. A blacksmith's shop is now
going up, and . wagon shop is talked OF.
but is not yet settled fact. A Shoe

SELLING WHsKEY To INDIANs.-We
had thought that persons were forbidden
by law. from selling intoxicating drinks
to the Indians but if there is such law.
there is no attention paid to it in these
parts. On Tuesday Of last week. party
of over hundred Sacs passed through
here, and proceeded to small town be-
low here, where they encampeI over night.
During that time. they procured as much
EhiSkey as they wanted, when they had
a regular spree and war-dance, and the
next day started for their homes. When
they reached this place, they were so
drunk. that many Of them could not keep
on their horses. Those who could keep
their saddles, went their way yelling, and
the balance dismounted, and lay about
the streets until they sobered of. greatly
to the dismay Of women and children
nearly all the men being absent at the
Land Sales. These poor Inlians have
heretofore been harmless creatures; but
sad experience has of hte Taught the peo-
pie of some places in the North-W
that these apparently inofensive beings
may sometimes be driveh or tempted to
great atrocities. Hal these Sacs taken
devilment into their heads, they couli
have carried it out, with scarcely any re-
sistance. II there is law of the kind
which we have alluded to, it should he
enforced 4; if there is not, the people Of
the West know how to redress grievances
which the law is insdequate to reach. II.
such proceedings are unsuitable in any
case. selling wiriskey to Indians would
clearly come under that head.
