EMIGRATION TO KANSAS.

The St. Louis Democrat says: "Ev,
cry boat, either from the Upper or
Lower Mississippi, is crowded with
emigrants, two-thirds Of whom are
bound for Kansas A few days since
a boat arrived at St. Louis, from above
loaded to her entire capacity with en-
igrants from Minnesota. Iowa, and
Wisconsin, rushing kansas-ward."
The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald says
" Hcrcabouts the sound Of preparation
is heard, and men who apparently
have all that heart could wish are get
ting ready to start Westward Some
will better their condition dollar-wise,
but many are sowing seed which soon
will spring up in the shape of vain re-
grets that they did not "let well
enough alone" In Trumbull county
the Warren Chronicle says the young
and middle-aged are raving under the
Western land fever borrowing mon
ey at ten per cent. buying up land
warrants, selling their homes, abandon
ing lucrative situations. That paper
says that even the old and gray head
ed in some instances give up their
quiet comfortable homes to launch up
on the uncertain sea of speculation"
The Daily WISCONSIN of Milwaukee,
says: "We understand that a Reid
er, of Mayfeld, Washington county,
is in town on his way to Kansas with
a company of between fifty and sixty
intelligent Germans, who intend colo
nizing in Kansas. They will probably
leave here tomorrow. Mr.. Reider, the
leader of the company, is the original
settler of Mayfeld, at which place he
settled some eleven years ago, built a
Touring and saw-mill, and called
around him large number of indus
trious and respectable people. His ex-
ample in going to Kansas is highly
worthy of emulation, inasmuch as he
takes with him a company that will be
a very desirable acquisition to any
place, either in or out of Kansas"
The same paper Of the 10th ult.,
says Yesterday morning the good
steamer Alvin Adams reached our
wharf from the Ohio river, having on
board nearly six hundred deck and
cabin passengers, three-fourths OF
whom were Kansas emigrants from
the Northern States. The most OF
these were transferred during the day
to the Missouri river packets, Cataract
and w. II. Russell, which boats are
now we'll on their way to the Terrific
ry. We took occasion to pass through
the boats upon which these emigrants
had engaged passage, and were pleas
ed at the evidences which men, women
and children gave of honest purpose,
and health and courage to endure the
trials Of a pioneer life.

MISS LAM e.

The Washington correspondent OF
\. Y. Herald, appears to have turned
courtier. The following concerine
the lady of the White House, may in
terest the ladies, and we give it with
that hope:
1t is not generally known that the
accomplished niece of President Bu-
chanan, Miss Lane, who is now charg-
ed with the honors of the Executive
mansion, would hold her first public
reception to-day, March ~ yet
among those who were fortunate
enough to catch the intimation, the
greatest anxiety prevailed to be pres
ent ON the interesting occasion, and to
witness the anticipated success of the
young lady in her arduous task-for
arduous it is indeed for any lady, and
particularly for one in teens, to sustain
the position she has assumed. The
many splendid private equipages of
our fashionable circles were called in
to requisition, and the courtyard of
the White House was soon filled with
dashing livery. The occasion was an
epoch in Washington society, and it
was necessary for the upper tendon to
make their mark. As the silks and
satins, and bustles and hoops, cock
AIDES and brass buttons, rustled and
hob nobbed together, a looker-on in
Vienna" was struck with the grace
full simplicity of the young and beau
full hostess, and the easy elegance with
which she discharged the duties of her
trying position. Accustomed Of course
to the most refined society, having pre-
sided overher uncle's masion for sever
al years in London, where she toasted
in every circle, she could not be 9th.
erwise than perfectly at home in the
elegant drawing rooms OF the Presi-
dents house, surrounded by the dss-
tingues of the nation. Miss Lane is
one in ten thousand, exclaimed all

Gus lady visitors as they poured in,
with winning grace which astonish.
ed all, but she entertained at the same
time crowd of beaux, and by her
brilliant wit and ready repartee kept
them constantly on the defensive.
During the late administration, the
Presidents house had assumed a som
bre, melancholy aspect i'll consequence
of the heavy dispensations of Provi
dence which had fallen upon Mrs
Pierce. Her efforts to entertain were
forced, and gave only pain to those
who attended her receptions. Every
thing seemed to partake of her own
serious and melancholy and mournfu)
feelings and every echo of the merry
laugh had died in the halls. But Miss
Lane has enticed that echo back, and
again all is joy and gladness in the
Executive mansion. The rarest hot
house plants were brought into requi
sition, and arranged around the room
and alcoves the hellotrope. violet
|hyacinth and roses, of the richest per
fume, lent their sweetness to the at
mosphere, and presented altogether ;
scene an eastern princess might envy
Miss Lane herself-in all the fresh
ness of rural health her cheeks vieins
with the rose she loved, her large blu
Ieyes beaming with amiability ant

But now messengers were seen hurry,
ing to and fro summoninG, all the wise
men and astrologers of the Chaldeans
to the banquet hall of the king, with
promises of rewards untold could they
but interpret the writing on the wall
But in vain. They could not discern
the meaning thereof, and they were
doomed to be disappointed. But at
this critical juncture the queen ap-
peared and approaching the king, said
o king, live forever: be not troubled
with the where withal of these things,
for there is man in thy kingdom who
hath knowledge and understanding of
the interpreting of these doings. The
same is Daniel now, therefore, let
him be called and he will show the in
depreciation. Then was Daniel brought
before the king, and the king said if
thou wilt show me the Interpretation
thou shalt have exceeding riches and
honor. But Daniel answered,-keep
thy riches, 0 king, and give thy re-
wards elsewhere Yet will make
known unto the king the meaning Of
these words. "Mene, meme, tekel, uphar-
sin i! This is the Interpretation of the
thing mene,-God hath numbered thy
kingdom and finished it. 7skel, Thou
art weighed in the balance and art
found wanting. Peres,-Thy kingdom
is divided and given to the Medes and
p crsians."
That night was the mighty king
Of Babylon slain, and his kingdom
given to the Median king.

comparison with this railroad route.
The summit level is attained fifteen
miles west of the river at maximum
grade of less than so feet per mile
from thence westward the grades are
light and the country Of the most fa,
vorable character for the construction
of a railroad, the cost of which will
not exceed under any circumstances
that of the Mil. & Miss. r. R.
The Milwaukee & Mississippi r. R.
was in running operation (Spring OF
'52, } before the country along the line
of that road was as well settled as
this now is. The population of the
different villages through which the
first surveyed line passes, and the
distance between is as follows:
McGregor, the starting point, $50 ;
Menona Is miles 800; Postville 10
miles, 100; Clermont 10 miles, 800 ;
West Union, County Seat of Fayette
Co., 9 miles, 1900; fredericksburg

of Chickasaw Co., Is miles, $50 ST.
Charles, County Seat Of Floyd Co., Is

Mason City, County Seat of Cerro Cor

To the merchants of Milwaukee can
be recommended, as an advertising
medium, the North Iowa Times, a
spicy sheet published weekly at Nc
Gregor, which has a wide circulation !;
as interior papers the St. Charles Re-
publican lntelligencer, and Fayette
Free Press of West Union, are among
the leading prints.
The commerce of the rich and fertile
valleys of the Turkey, Cedar, Des
Moines and st. Peter Rivers and their
tributaries is worth gaining. Let
Milwaukee now make a strong effort
to secure it. Let her be the gateway
of Northern Iowa and Minnesota to
the East. Let her secure these bene-
fits, and who can say that any of the
