Women in Kanzas.

Mrs Susan E. Watdes of Lawrence, Kan
zas, invites her sisters in the States to come
to Kanzas and ''take claims, and make
themselves independent" She speaks of
three young women who have pre-empted
claims, one of whom has paid for her claim
and received the requisite papers from the
Land Office. Few women, however, will be
likely to accept this sisterly invitation, and
those few must be emphatically ''strong
minded" A capital of $500 or $500
is necessary, at the outset, to pay for a
claim, erect cabin, furnish it, fence in
planting ground, DC. The sale of quarter
to half of the claim { $50 acres would
refund this money, however, according to
Mrs Wattles, and leave the fair pre-emptor
with an independent home. But then neigh
bors may be half mile or more distant,
fever and ague will vary the monotony,
and society and religious worship will be
Injuries to be obtained only in the princi-
pal settlements. However Mrs. Wattles
may look upon such prospect, women in
general. even the poorest, would hardly seek
independence at the sacrifice of those
comforts and appliances so essential to wom-
ans happiness. Young men who are out
of employment are the right persons for
such slife on the border and would find
health, competence, and independence, by
the cultivation of ''quarter lot'' almost
anywhere in Kanzas.-Boston journal,

Jehn Tyler put on his Defence.

IL Is most significant when such men as
ex-Fresldent Tyler are called up TO defend
themselves against the charge of having
been unfaithfui 70 the South It indicates
very great progress in the politics of that
end of the Union, and progress not in the
best direction. 1t vas declared in the late
Southern Commercial Convention that the
provision IN the treaty of Washington, stip-
ulatlng on the part of the United States for
the maintenance of feet of eighty guns
for the suppression of the slave trade under
the American flag, was an act of discourtesy
and insult to the South, and the final vote
on the resolutions showed that majority of
the Convention took this view of it. The
treaty having been ratified during John Ty-
ler's administration, this censure has called
him out In a letter of explanation and de-
fence, In the Richmond Enquirer. Mr.: Tv-
Ter relates how the provision became neces-
sary upon our refusal to allow British cruz
sers to search American vessels, and saws
with pertinency and force
81 shall be permitted to observe, that the
remarks reported to have fallen from mem
bers OF the Convention, in debating the main
subject, are SO entirely variant from the pop
ular sentiment entertained throughout the
Southern States, as believe in 1842, as to
occasion me no little surprise. Who, in
1842, even dreamed that there would be, as
early as 1857, a proposition seriously made
to revive the slave trade I certainly en-
tertained no such idea, nor did, am quite
sure, any one of the able and patriotic states
men who were my Constitutional advisers
I really thought, and often declared, that
the Southern States were more opposed to
the slave trade than any other portion of our
people. They had voted with singular unan-
unity for the act of Congress which declared
that all citizens of the United States engag-
ing in that trade should be regarded, and,
if convicted, punished as pirates. How it
happens, then, that provision introduced
into treaty to enforce law, for which the
South had voted, can be rightfully regarded
as an insult to the South, I must say passes
my comprehension. Certainly such an idea
never entered into my head or heart. 1T
might be worthy of consideration by the
next Commercial Convention, whether, be-
fore they advise the eancelling of the pro-
vision in question, and denounce it as an
insult to the South, they should not first!
repeal the law relative to piracy in regard to
the slave trade''

The Sugar Cane in Wisconsin.

took a premium at the Edwardsville fair
against one or two other competing speci-
mems. L is thicker than any we have yet
seen, has a lighter, clearer color. and to the
taste possesses larger share of saccharine
property. The producer, We learn, is san
guine from his experiment that the article
'can be cultivated with profit, and anticipates
a time not far distant, when it will be an
article of extensive growth and consump-
rtOn- Apart from its saccharine yield, he
thinks the cane may be most pro6tably used

The canes, It is supposed, viii make excel

hacker has had remarkable success in his
Present experiment. From half an acre of
cane, of which eRe-fourth was not sound

quarters of an acre of sorghum saceharatum

think it viii make good substitute for green

curing for fodder, unless cut very often. and
cured when small; if allowed to ripen, they
must be cut whenever wanted for immediate
use. They are very nutritious when ripe,
but much more watery than sugar-cane,
and, in my opinion, the Chinese cane will
never successfully compete with our old
fashioned sugar cane for the purpose of ma
king sugars

Colored Citizen Soldiers in the Revo-
luton.


1t appears that not only did negroes edo
the State some service" at the battle of Bum
ker Hill, but that they we're held in much
better esteem in the Continental army than
some, at least, of their white brethren in
arms from the Southern States.
The following striking language is found
in letter written IN Massachusetts, by Gen.
John Thomas to John Adams, under date
of 24th October, 1775:
81 am sorry to hear that any prejudices
should take place in any Southern colony
with respect to the troops raised in this. I
am certain the insinuations you mention are
injurious, if we consider with what precip-
itation we were obliged to collect an army.
In the regiments at Roxbury the privates are
equal to any that l served with in the last
war. Very few old men, and, in the ranks,
very few boys. Our ffers are many of
them boys We have some negroes, but I
look on them, in general, equally serviceable
with other men for fatigue; and in action,
many of them have proved themselves
brave.
81 would avoid all reflection or anything
that may tend to give umbrage, but there is
in this army, from the southwark, a number
called rihemen, who are as Indifferent men
as ever served with. These privates are
mutinous, and often DESERVING to the enemy.
Unwilling for duty of any kind, exceedingly
vicious, and think the army here would
be as well without as with them. But to do
Justice to their officers, they are, some of
them, likely men,
The said letter is in the hands of the de-
scendants of General Thomas.
