The District Meeting.

We call attention to the proceedings OF
the Meeting held at Emporia ON the 18th
inst to appoint Delegates to the State Con-
vention which was held at Topeka on the
18th inst There is no mistaking the posi-
ton occupied by the people of this District
upon the absorbing questions now at issue
in Kanzas. The Topeka Constitution is
our choice, and all we ask is that Kanzas
shall be admitted into the Union under it.
We owe no obligations to the Territorial
Government, and will take no part in the
election of its officers under present ar
rangefnents: Gov. Walkers speculations
and railroads have no alltrements for us.
We do not ask him to build our railroads
or our Universities or give us land. If he
can and a0iH restore to us our rights we will
build our own railroads and buy our own
land All we ask of Gov. Walker or the
Administration is simple justice.

~T The weather has been very hot for
some weeks past, with no rain. The effect
on late sod corn has been very injurious,
most of it having been entirely killed
That planted earlier still looks, well. but if
we do not have rain soon that too viii be
a failure. The corn planted on ground
which was broke last year, has been unaf-
feeted by the drouth and is doing finely:
Potatoes are suffering from the rayages zof
bugs; they, TOO. need rain badly. The
heavens have had portentious look at
times for more ahan week past-but no
rain. The weather prophets are at fault.

Miller 4 Co., Messrs. Dix & Edwards its
former publishers having failed for large

subscriber to the Magazine from Its first
publication to the. present time, until its
coming is greeted as that of an old familiar

Saw Mills.

The new Saw Mill of Parham IL Phelps
is completed, and its steam whistle, blown
at regular meal hours serves as our town
clock. The mill is large one and its Ca
pacity such that hereafter we shall have an
adequate supply of lumber for building
purposes near at hand. In addition to This
a shingle machine and lath saws will soon be
attached, and before fall, grist mill with
the latest improved bolts for Touring. Sue
cess to. the proprietors as they have earned
it by the energy with which they have
pushed their mill to completion over obsta-
cles of no ordinary character.
One half mile north of the mill of Par
ham & Phelps, on the opposite side of the
Neosho, is the new Saw Mill of DR.. Armour,
which viii soon be in operation. The mill
is a good one, from the Manufactory OF
JAMES ToDD, Cincinnati, and will add
greatly to the development of the country
which is going on so rapidly, and also, We
trust, to the material wealth of its propri-
etor.
This section of the country is better sup
piled with saw mills than any other portion
of Kanzas with which we are acquainted.
Eight miles west on the Cottonwood is a
saw mill in full operation, owned by Mr..
Fenis.
Six miles below US at the Junction is the
Mill of G. D. Humphrey fast at work to
supply the demands of the heigbborhood
Saw mills are effective agents in develop
ing the resources of new country, and il
gives us pleasure TO record the fact that
there is SO great number in this immediate
vicinity.

The extreme heat OF the past few weeks
and the absence of healthy remedies has
forced us to think seriously of adopting the
" Georgia Costume"-a shirt-collar and a
pair of spurs-at least until We shall be Wis

doubt that should this costume be intro
dueed here at this time it would at once be-
come the rage; hoops would be left We think

From Manhattan.


From our Special Correspondent.
MANnATTAN, June 25.
Ed. KANzAs News Sir: In my last /
informed you that Judge Conway was an
nounced to address the citizens of Manhat-
tan on public affairs. His reputation as a
dangerous radical had proceeded him. and as
some of the leading men in this section take
pride in their conservatism, he did not re-
ceive q very warm reception, except from
those who can overlook difference of opin-
ion ON questions of policy in those who evi-
IDENTIFY have the good of the cause at heart.
This section of country has been entirely
overlooked by the orators of the Free State
party. The Executive Committee seems
to have acted on the belief that if Lawrence
and Topeka were kept right all would be
well: and consequently not only have all the
conventions of the party been called to meet
within circle of 25 miles. but no effort has
been made to enlighten the less favored and
more distant portions of the Territory. The
consequence has been comparative luke
warmness, then feeling of distrust follow
ed by jealousy, which caused the people
of this section to look upon the leaders of
the party as their covert enemies. A move
ment was in contemplation to organize a
separate party. Information was received
from below that line of policy had been
agreed upon at Topeka, which presented no
chance for settlement of our difficulties
Probably three weeks would not have pass
ed before position would have been taken,
which would have been very detrimental to
the interests of the Free State party. con-
fesss sir, that /, too, IN common with the
whole community, felt that the time had come
when we must cease to follow the lead of
men who would present no practical plan of
operations. The Judges visit, however,
has effected considerable change In our
views, The information that he brought of
the intention of our party not only to adhere
to the Topeka Constitution, but also 10 take
possession Of the Territorial government, has
satisfied all who are not hunkerishly inclin-
ed He vas well aware of the extent OF the
prejudice against him and his course, but
set himself to the work with zeal, and though
the audience did not sympathise TO the ex-
teat that might be desired by an orator, yet
the strong argument and earnest appeal OF
this warm hearted and able advocate OF free
dom, exerted an influence which viii be fell
in an increased measure for sometime to
come. 1t was understood that he was to be
answered by prominent man In this neigh
berhood, but the eject of the address was SO
marked that the conservative held his peace
Since my last learn that C. R. Mobley,
the principal democratic candidate IN this
District, was DEBATED by one Davis. who
has pledged himself TO move an immediate
adjournment of the Constitutional Conyen-
ton as soon az it meets

The cropg sout. and West.

From the best information we can gather
from our exchanges, the prospects for
fair crops are farorable. In Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi. Louisiana, Tennessee,
Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois, there
are good prospects for fine crops generally
The grain crop in particular promises well.
The quantity of grain planted this season
is said to more than double that of any pre-
pious Year. Accounts from the Louisiana
sugar crop are very fattering. In many
parts of South Carolina the wheat crop is
fine, and the corn crop generally promises
an average Weld.

What Shall be Donep

We learn that the Post Office Department
has refused the application of our citizens for
mail route. They applied for special
contract. offering to carry the mail for the
proceeds of the Office, which we offered to
keep for nothing. More than two hundred
letters are carried from and brought into this
vicinity per week, and this number would be
more than doubled were there proper mail
facilities. The necessities of the people de-
mand that something must be done to facil-
itate the means of dispatching and receiving
letters and newspapers
a small subscription of all the persons in
ierested In this would be sufficient to sustain
semi-weekly mail between here and Law
renee If nothing better can be brought
forward, We suggest the following plan:-
Let the people unite together and form a
Peoples Joint Stock, Lawrence and En-
poria Mail Route Let suitable Directors.
living along the route, be selected, and let
ponies be purchased and contract let to
some responsible person, who shall engage
to carry semi-weekly mail. Thus one
man with two ponies for relays-oIe at Elm
creek and one at Camp creek-migbts make
two trips from here to Lawrence and back
each week, at regular and appointed times.
" hat relief it would be to all 10 know the
hour, or the day even, when the mail might
oe expected. I'VE know of persons who win
take hold of such project and carry ii

The Railroad Meeting.

We deslFo 10 again cali 1he particular al
tention of the people of this, section of the
country to the Importance Of the movement
which is TO be inaugurated at the Railroad
meeting here on Tuesday next, the 21st inst
Situated in the centre OF one of the most
beautiful and fertile regions in kanzas. un-
surpassed for agricultural purposes and sur
roanded By great natural advantages, we or
II need the agency of railroads and other Ike
modern Improvements TO place us on lev

the older States. The distance which we
are from the Missouri river, the cnly thor
oughfare TO which we have access at The
present time, and that too one which is clos
ed one third of the year, subjects us to ma
nv inconveniences and annoyances, and is a
serious detriment to our prosperity. 1t
therefore behooves US 10 take some immedi-
ate steps toward removing this bar to our
prosperity: The only means by which this
can be done is to build railroad to the near
est point to US which is in direct communi-
cation with the East At the present time
that point seems to be Topeka, which viii, in

tons are already commenced. Emporia is
but about ffty-fve miles from Topeka, and
a road could be built between the two points
for half the sum which would construct one

not, of course, build this or any other road

us. Let US seek to develop them, not only
adding to our own material wealth thereby,
but raising the standard of morals and intel
lect, extending and Strengthening all social
ties, and creating higher and better social
