important Ruraor from Kansas.

The telegraph from St. Louis, on Satur
day, brought rumors of anticipated troub-
les in Kansas. According to the despatch
Gov. Walker seems to have set himself in
earnest, by the aid of the United States
troops, in the work of enforcing the tax
law of the Bogus Legislature. The Free
State men vii! not, and ought not to obey
that law. Gov. Walker is probably fright.
ened by the scolding of the Southern pro-
slavery into throwing off the thin mask of
fairness which he has sworn in order to
wheedle the Free State men. The latter
are not now the weak and defenseless band
they were year of two ago.
P. S.-A despatch from Cincinnati,
Saturday evenings states that the distur-
bance grew out of = committee of the cit
zens Of Lawrence attempting to frame a
city charter, for Submission to the popular
vote, essentially differing from that grant
sd by the Territorial Legislature, and set
ting at defiance the Bogus laws Of Kansas.

The southern negro lords who claim to
rule by rights Divine-being the great A.
merican aristocracy, have been raising
terrible uproar, as they always do when
they have negro point to make, about
Gov. Walker liberal promise that all the
people of Kansas should have fair shake
in voting upon the new Constitution-in
palmer words, that the people should vote
whether they will have slavery or freedom
in Kansas. The great democratic State of
South Carolina, three fourths of whose IN
habitnnts were tories in the Revolution
and about all of whom are now dlsunion-
lists, raised the cry of treason against Blu
ehanan and Walker; so Buchanan aud
Walker found 1t would never do to lose
their dear South Carolina tory disuuion
alies--it might endager the Union sure
enough; besides this encouraging of the
Black Republicans by allowing them to
vote on fair equality with ruffians, was,
at best dangerous experiment.. Says
old Buck, swell have to submit to South
Carolina and Georgia-'iear paintings of
our household; SO Walker, you had better
fly on to the free State men just to correc-
tify our bunders; show Carolina and
Georgia that we didn't mean to offend
Our grand programme to make Kansas a
democratic free statetis a failure, so we'll
back square out; but for Gods sake,
Walker, don't let General Jackson know
about our cowarlice p So at 'en goes
Walker with Buchanan's army and next
we expect to hear that Carolina and Geor-
gia are hoorahing for Buchanan.

For the Herald.
The first violets.

While wandering over the hills in search
|of flowers and attempting to descend from
the bluff, lost my footing and fell. Hard
Nv knowing which I had better do, laugh
at my ridiculous appearance or cry over a
torn dress and bruised arm, | discovered
what had long sought in vain-a tuft of
beautiful blue violets, perfect treasure in
themselves, being the first o. the season.
The discovery changed my chagrin to a
shout Of Joy; as needless Of dress, neck,
or arm, I sptang down the rocks to secure
the prize. As / plucked them from their
grassy bed, sweet tears rushed to my eyes,
and laughter light and gay as in childhood
broke from my lips until the very rocks
rang again, and l fancy the very spirits of
the place reioiced with me pleasant dreams
were those called up by that simple flow
er! Scenes of dearly loved home far a
way; friends that have long slumbered in
the grove, schoolmales that have foamed
with me DER native valleys In search OF
the harbingers offspring, who when weary
threw ourselves upon the messy bank OF
some babing brook, to build castles which
were peopled by the things we loved. Alas
how soon the mask was torn from the OBJ
iects which in ouf innocence we called
bright and lovely: while the loathsoa,e
reality stared us In the face. Soon we
learned the hollow nockery and treachery
of this unfesling world, that its pleasures
are but IS sounding BRAS and tinkling
|cymbals. But the violet teaches ME to be
content with my lot, assured that
"Now and then balmy air,
Will float with soft perfume,
And lovely blossoms, here and there
Will bless me with their bloom.
But if clouds should hide the sky,
And chilling rain should fall,
I'll remember that God is always nigh,
And Heaven is over ALL"
ELLA.

Such of our readers as h:ve resided in
Wisconsin for ten years or longer, know
very well that the emigration to Wiscon-
sin since 1855 must have been much great
er than for any two or even five years be-
fore. Judging by figures aud what we
know of emigration to all parts Of the
State since 1855, the population Of our
State cannot be much short of 100000, abd
it may reach nearer million. The esti-
mate based upon the rate of last fall makes
the population about one million.
The population Of Grant County ia
probably about 3o,o0o;it may be te W
hundred upward.
