KANSAS ITEMS.
From The Lorrenee Republican, July ,


TIE CKoPs-Corn is coming ON finely. The warm
weather and the rains are giving IT good root ana
raj growth. Late.sOwed Spring wheat and oats, we
are sorry TO learn are heading OUT very low down so
much So in some instances, that farmers have turned
Their stock into their grain fields We would suggest
The proprey of preparing such ground for buckwheat
and turbips.
Eary.planted potatoes are in full bloom, and give
II il getting to be about time for farmers to prepare
for bayipg. 49,
The Peoria land sales are now progressing-and will
continue about two weeks longer. The lands that
souatters did not think worth squarg upon, are sch.
ing at from SO to 81 per acre. Senator Bigler and
Governor Walker were present, but did not as we
learn make any purchase. S. n Wood II Co. pur-
cbas ed 1900 acres through squaters which they now
offer for sale. See advertisement.
fine spe cimen of coal, from Quindaro, has been
laid On our table during the past week. We under:
stand that the blacksn'i,hs OF that place it, and
find il an excellent article.
SIGNIFICANT.-It is a fact, and significant one,
that Southern Mountaineering by that expression
all south Of the Kaw rver-is filling up with great
rapidity and with the most thorough and outspoken
class OF Frees ate inhabitants. At the recent Con-
venton at Topeka and during the session of the Legis
lature, he bodest and most radical measures were
proposed and advocated by the delegates and mem-
beers from South Kansas. The conservatism of Kansas
is north, if anywhere. Already the advance guard of
hardy pioneers are pushing well on to the south
ern boundary of tee Territory. He who looks upon
the map will appreheId the significance Of these facts
FILLING UP-A gentleman just from Burlington
informs us that he passed more than fifty teams on
their way to Southwestern Kansas. More teams
passed Sac Agency on Monday last than ever were
known to pass in single day before And the tide
keeps up clear into Midsummer almost. We venture
to FAY that portion of the West has filled up 80
rapidly, with so good Il class OF population as
Kansas.
The COUNTRY Is ALL RIGHT.-There was large
and enthusiastic meeting at Blue Mound last Satur-
day. This has in times past been considered rather
Hupkeiish neghborhood but judging from the tone Of
the resolutions adopted with great unanimty, we put
it down all tight regards the efforts Of the black
Democracy of Kansas 1t is gratifying to learn from
every quarter that those men who have fearessy
ste cd together in times of our greatest peril are still
unit in opposition to ali factions parties that uphold
the Border Kufan usurpatlon.
Resolutions were adopted proposing to unite with
the people of Lawrence and all other points in the
Territory in opposition TO the payment Of taxes for
tie support Of foreign usurpers; also indorsng the
Topeka Constitution. The fried and true people OF
Kansas are all right notwithstanding the efforts of
the Back Democracy TO divide and distract them,
and to produce the impression among their friends
East that they are rot united.
CAN'T SPARE HIM.-7Ee Hoold Of Freedom thinks
we can't spare Gov. Walker, and that If he should
'leave lis now the country would be involved in strife
"again ere one month should expire" Perhaps Tie
HT0ld # Freedom can't spare him, but We think the
peope could. Just as well as not. Not only can we
spare Gov. Walker, but also Secretary Stanton, and
her equilibrium quite comfortably Indeed for that
matter if the whole corps of Federal appointees will
throw up their commissions and 90 home tomorrow,
and leave their places forever vacant Kansas will get
along without them, without the least trouble. All
that we want is for the General Government to keep
its troops and satraps at home, and viii attend to
our own business, in our own way. We will make
popular sovereignty good deal more than the
empty bumbug and sham which democracy" always
me ant it should be.
We neither see the proprety justice Of ascrbing
the present peaceful condition of Kansas to Governor
Walker. What has lie done to make peace =! We
were perfectly peaceful when he came, and should re.
main so if he went away, unless our rights were
inter fered with.
Gov. Walker has rot made peace. That was made
before be came. True, he has promulgated a long
inaugural, and mace few stump speeches, and at
tended come nice little parties, and is said to have
danced remarkably well at some of them; but what Of
all that That hasn't made peace. The extra
inaugurals made nice little job of printing for soms
body, undoubtedly. and the stump speeches have
given Tie Ner-Iork TSmes's reporter a little
business to do and Mr. Perrin has had chance to tell
those pleasant little stories for the hundred and
eleventh time and grow graBdly though periodically
eloquent over the Flag of our Union forever" but
again we ask what Of all that? Suppose should
lose it ALL would there be any danger of war 2, Sup
pose there should be more copies of the inaugural
printed and circulated; Mr.. Walker make no more
stump speeches, attend more parties and do no
dancing suppose even that the Immortal Perrin
should again tell that marvellous story about the
pigs and the puppies, and should leave the Flag Of
our Union to wave on without his particular notice;
what them Is any body going to be hurt Won't
the rain fall, and the grass grow aud the shine,
and the Kaw River run down hill just regular
