had hoped ere this to have written you q
letter with reference to the extremely agreeable
weather We are enjoying in Kansas this spring.
There has not been one cold unpleasant dag
during the month of March. The weather has
been warm and agreeable, with frequent show

than last year.
Spring grain was up the last of March, and
feed is now quite good on the prairies. Fail
wheat looks finer than ever saw it at this
season of the year before.
Politically, everything in the Territory is
quiet. Two murders are said to have been
committed at Fort Scott recently, by man
named Brockett, formerly in the Surveyor Gen
erals Office at Lecompton, and the same per
son who stabbed Bailey last September, at that
place. On Saturday last, q person named
Thompson stabbed a person by the name Of

The accounts from France do not tend in
the least to invalidate the conviction already
expressed, as to the designs of Great Britain's
magnanimous and faithful ally" Some per-
sons even believe that any bad news from India,
or any other quarter, would reduce the matter
from question of few months to one of Q
few days. The various Paris papers, not one
of which can put forth line without the sane
ton of the authorities, seem to pursue course
of rotation in the insertion of articles either in
abuse or depreciation of England. The Fog.
lish army especially is singled out for injurious
contrast With that of France. One of the CON.
tinental papers, best informed on all political
movements and intrigue, is the Russian organ

speaks of the vast military preparations going
