Our readers VIII remember that a large
number of the young men Of Lawrence were
imprisoned last faIl and winter After their
release, a number of them under the direc-
ton of Capt. Craeklin, determined, as soon
as possible. to form colony and establish
a town on the Big Bend of the Arkansas.
There are about twenty-five in the company,
and each member contributes 500 to the
general fund for improvements, dc.
About SIX weeks since, seventeen of the
company started with Capt. c.. on their way
to the New Eldorado. They reached the
Big Bend and made tour IN that locality
They found the country unfit for farming
purposes; being sandy and having but little
timber. They returned about one hundred
miles on the Santa Fe trail and then struck
off In a south easterly course about forty
FIVE miles, when they found most beauti-
full country entirely unoccupied- Il is well
wooded, watered, and has an abundance of
stone for building purposes. They laid
out town on the Arkansas and California
trail, where it crosses Walnut River, a
clear flowing stream. The country is well
supplied with springs. one of which is
quite a natural curiosity. It issues from
a cave four or FIVE feet high and seven feet
wide, perfectly arched with stone. Mr..
Cracklin informs US that there are no set
Elements in this section and speaks in highly
eulogistic terms of its advantages. He is
a man of good judgment and We have faith in
his representations. The town is named
Eldorado, and is situated about seventy five
miles south by west of Emporia. 1t is the in
tention of the company to stake out road
through to this place, this being the most
direct route to Lawrence, and the River
We trust that the ..boys" will succeed
beyond their utmost hopes, for we know
they deserve to do so. The members of it
have all been of those whose lives in Kan
zas were one of devotion to her cause, and
it is fitting that they should reap rich har-
vests froms the material wealth which a
bountiful Creator has scattered broadcast
over the land.

improvements.

Our town still continues to improve rap
idly, and the country around is filing up
with an industrious and enterprising popu-
lation. Our new building is nearly compile
ted and we hope by the end of the week to
move the Office into it. Our enterprising
townsman, Mr.. SroRRs, is just completing a
commodious. store building, which he hopes
In few weeks to have stocked with a fine
assortment of goods. In the meantime he is
to be found at his old stand opposite the Ho-
tel. He has also purchased the Hotel of
the town company, and intends furnishing
1t handsomely and enlarging it by adding
"a feet for Kitchen purposes, and the erect
ion of a handsome veranda on the north
and east 81 lie of the building. We say sue
Cess to him, for his enterprise and energy de-
serve it.

Our Post Office.

Wehaye regular mail-route to this place,
all letters being sent to Lawrence, from
whence they are brought here by private
conveyance. Mr.. FIcK informs us that ne
lately made outa new list of over 400 names
to be sent to the Lawrence Post Office
We have population enough to warrant the
establishment of a semi-weekly mail, but the
P. o. Department does not see fit to accom-
modate US, further than by the establish
ment of an occasional mail from Westport
by way of Council Grove. The Grove is
twenty miles beyond us, and the Post Of
fee for this section is situated at Column
bia, three miles below us. We do not feel
inclined to trust our letters to the tender
mercies of the pro-slavery residents of Coun-
ell Grove, and prefer to carry our mail mat
ter by private hands, rather than risk the
present uncertainty.

Lawrence, on the memorable 21st of May,
and its editor, unlike one of his eompatriots,
did not seek to levy contributions on the nor
thern friends of Freedom, in consequence OF
his misfortune, and therefore was not able to
re-establish his paper before the present date.
We welcome hiIn and his sheet back to the

Freenaess's Champion, is the title of spi-
cy little sheet published at Prairie City, and
edited by S. S. PRoUry. The editor in his
salutatory, says that the paper shall be thor
oughly Independent and freedom-loving, and
if it preserves its present tone there win mol
be the least doubt of that fact existing IN the
minds of his readers. We wish him all the
success his energy and enterprise deserves.
The Leader, is published at -Centropoiis,
by AUsrIS d BEARDsLEY. 1t is very wei
edited, and exhibits ability in advocating It's
peculiar views. It processes to be Free
State, and we doubt not its editors desire to
see Kanzas become so in preference to a
Slave State, but it takes a queer method of
showing its devotion to those principles, by
endeavoring as it does, to divide the ranks of
the party who are struggling for Freedom in
Kanzas. 1t attacks the position adopted
by that party, and stigmatizes it as ga do
nothing policy &c. The Leader viii doubt
less be useful ally of Gov. Walker in his
endeavors to make Black Democratic Free
State of Kanzas.

We took the opportunity of seeing Gov.
Walker at home, and found him to be the
same adroit, smooth, .soft-spoken parsonage
that he IS before the people. When IN his
presence We cannot help comparing him to
a eat, and beneath the velvet tongue are con-
tinuaIly expecting to see the claw darting
out So far as we can judge, politically
Gov Walker is one of the last men we
should feel like trusting. Doubtless he is
wiling to do the people of Kanzas a little
more justice than most of his predecessors,
but it is only because the welfare of his
party demand such policy. We do not
believe that one strong thonght or vigorous
expression of indignation at all the atrocious
outrages perpertrated in Kanzas, ever found
place in his soul. Walker looks to us po-
liticalIy, the very embodiment of a trickster;
and socially, We. should judge him to be a
rigid aristoerat, looking down with supreme
contempt upon all who labor.
Stanton is bluff, gentlemanly southerner,
with fair admixture of coed and bad in
his composition. He is not of extraordi-
nary ability, and his appearance is of the
"earth, earthly"
We endeayored to obtain perusal of the
bill amending the Bogus Election Law,
which was passed last winter, providing for
a six months residence, as qualification for
voting, but was not successful. Mr.. Stan
ton informed us that it was simple require
ment for six months residence, without any
reference to those who are registered by the
late Bogus Census. IF our memory serves
US correctly, We believe it makes the late ap-
portionment the basis for distrieting the
Territory, as well as de .facto prevents any
but the registered voters from voting in
October next.
Our Census Marshals are very energeti
caIly pushing the work in their neighbor
hoods The indefatigable William Phillips
is the Marshal for the district including
Lawrence, and we may rely upon it, the
work viii be thoroughly done in this por-
ton of the State. Much depends ON the
proper and efficient taking of the Census,
and complete circulation of the Memorial
to Congress and we trust that all will aid
the Msrshals and Deputies in their arduous
task.
The Benecia Saw Mill, with over 80, 600
feet of lumber, was burned on Saturday
night last. Gen. j. H. Lane was one of the
owners of this mill, and it is supposed to be
the work of Rufian incendiaries, in revenge
for the speech made by the Genera! at Big
Springs.
On Saturday last a Member of the Dread
Guards, or '.Stubs,' Mr.. Hanks, was
buried with military honors. He died on
Friday, of bilious fever. The Lawrence
Band was in attendance, and played the
usual dead marches A salute was fred
over his grave, and all the usual ceremonies
gone through. Mr.. Hanks was an active
and valuable citizen, brave soldier and true
patriot, and community loses in him a val
liable member.
The Whitney House, at which We are
now stopping, is one of the best Hotels in
Lawrence We think the best, for Its
charges are moderate; its accommodations
excellent; its proprietor, Mr.. Whitney, the
best of landlords, and his gentlemanly clerk,
Mr.. Muzzy, the prince of good fellows.

To Our Friends.

It is always disagreeable for an editor to
make apologies for the shortcomings of his
paper. Our friends we trust will bear with
US, particularly those who know the difficult
ties one has to encounter in starting any new
enterprise in Kanzas. Could the grumblers,
if there are any, have been in our office du-
ring the past two weeks, they would feel that
we have done well to get out at this late date.
The editor has been sick, his associate was
absent for time, and no help could be OBJ
tanned. Printers are scarce, or else they
make so much money that they are too in
dependent to work at cease" We have now
secured sufficient aid in the Office, our "sen-
ior' will soon be able to resume his duties,
and after our removal into the building erect
ing for our use, which will be this week if
nothing untoward happens, We trust to issue
regularly. Till then we hope our friends
will bear with us, and we viii try and make
up for all present deficiencies, by increased
exertions in the future.

Popular ORGANIZATION.

A number of settlers, mostly from Ohio,
living on the Verdigris River and Eagle
Greek, about fifteen miles south least of En-
poria, have found themselves compelled to
enter into popular organization and elect
officers and adopt laws for their own govern
ment.
Their first meeting was held soon after
their arrival, in April last, and the organi-
zation was completed at a later meeting some
three weeks since. Atthis meeting, ". Pear
son was appointed Chairman, and E. Alder
man Secretary.
Resolutions were adopted, setting forth
the circumstances by which they were sur
rounded non-existenee of any legal au-
thority-and adopting the laws of the o. s.,
and of Ohio, whenever applicable to their
circumstances. The following gentlemen
were elected by ballot officers for the ensuing
year: Miriam Huntly, Justice of Peace; E.
Alderman, Clerk; and W. Martindale, Con-
stable. A number of squatter laws were
also adopted, relative to the protection of
claims, the fencing against cattle, to prevent
hogs running at large, &c.
We are glad to perceive this movement
for organization extending itself, as il will
facilitate the State government and is con-
vincing argument in favor of putting its
machinery into operation.
There is quite thriving settlement in the
above neighborhood and country well
adapted to farming, though somewhat more
broken than the prairie around Emporia.
Timber and stone are abundant, and good
coal has been found at several points on the
Verdigris. The bottom of the river is rocky
with sufficient fall for mill purposes. A
settler named Wright is now engaged in the
erection of a water mill, and the settlers are
surveying road to Emporia, with the
view of opening up the country.

Railroad Meeting.

We are requested to state that meeting
viii be held at Emporia, ON Tuesday, July
21st, 1857, at 10 O'Clock A. NJ, to take
some preliminary action with reference to
building Railroad from some point ON the
Kanzas probably Topeka-to con-
meet with the st. Joseph d Topeka Railroad.
through the Neosho Valley, and to connect
with the Napoleon d Fort Smith Railroad,
in Arkansas. Gen. G. K. HOLIDAY, Pres
ident of the Topeka & st. Joseph Railroad,
M. J. PARRoTT,, of Leavenwortll, and Gen.
MERRIDIrH, of Indiana, with a corps of En-
gineers, will be present. Gov. WALKER,
Gov. ROBINSON, and other distinguished
and influential gentlemen are also expected
TO be on the ground.
The Neosho Valley stands second to no
region of Kanzas for the fertility of its soil
and the advantages it offers of supporting a
dense agricultural population. We need
not urge upon our citizens the necessity of
securing the formation of railroads at as
early a day as possible. Every man under
stands the Importance of movement that
will aid in bringing about the result to be
wished for. Therefore we expect to see a
large assemblage of our citizens present on
the occasion.
If the reader viii consult his map he will
see at a glance the Importance of the pro-
posed road, bringing it as it will do within
few days of the East via the st. Jose and
Hannibal route to Keokuk, and opening up
the Southern part of Kanzas and the Indian
Territory to Arkansas. This will also be the
first step towards the commencement of the
Great Gulf Road from Galveston through
Texas, the Indian Territory, Kanzas and
Nebraska
The preliminary steps toward building
the road from st. Joseph to Topeka, by way
of Doniphan, have we believe already been
inaugurated, and considerable amount of
stock subscribed for. We hope to see the
importance of this movement fully appre-
ciated.

FrOm Our speeial Correspondent.

LAWRENCE, June 25.
Dear Nears Many important events
have been crowded into short space of
time during the last few weeks. The meet
ing of the Free State Legislature, with the
stirring Mass Convention and earnest de-
bates in the General Assembly as to the pol
icy to be pursued, though not producing
all we could have wished, have yet been
productive of much good. With the Cen
sus aud General Election Laws, we may be
able to effect such result as will convince
the most timid that the time has really come
when Kanzas may peaceably assert her
State Sovereignty, and give to her people
such laws as we are well convinced a ma
jority desire.
In addition to these movements of our
own organization, an important day has
passed over our foes, and they have COM
pletely failed in achieving the end for which
they have so remorselessly STEPPED their souls
in crime and fraud The election for Del
egates for the Constitutional Convention has
passed, and as far as the returns already re-
ceived are any indication, they will hardly
poll even the despised 1871 votes, over which
Gov. Walker has made so great an outery
in his crusade against the Topeka Constitu-
ton. The following are the returns so far
as received:
