o. As a voting people, the abused
Free State settlers of Kansas set a noble
example to the voters of the States. AL
though the Kansas people voted again
and again to no other purpose than that
of testifying against oppression-neither
securing recognition of their rights as a
free people, nor justice nor mercy at the
hands of their maligners and oppressors-
contending against the tremendous odds
of National Government power, Military
force, and Border Rufian fraud and out
rage-still, at every election, in good or
bad weather, in one season or another,
they leave all, to attend to their duties at
the ballot box, and swell up telling ma
jorities for principle. Nowhere else in
the Union do we find men so firm, stead
fast, devoted-making such sacrifices for
the cause which the Kansas voters be-
lieve, as proved by their votes. to be that
of Truth and Right. Surely they are a
noble people, in this respect, at least
worthy to be remembered, encouraged,
upheld, with some like degree of self.
sacrifice, devotion, and abandonment of
local or petty private interests, by those
who profess to be their friends in the Other
States "Shew me tiny faith without thy
works, and l will shew thee my faith by
my works "-in the words of James
the Free State men of Kansas may ad.
dress their brethren elsewhere. We have
quit our farms and our merchandise, oul
pleasures and our gains, to travel long
weary miles, in all seasons, and in al
weathers, to vote for Freedom. Prove
your faith by like works, or be silent ev.

A Mothsr's Love.

In some spring freshet, river widely
washed its shores, and rent away bough
whereon bird had built cottage for her
summer hopes. Down the white and
whirling stream drifted the green branch
with its wicker cup of unfedged song,
and fluttering beside it, as it went along,
the mother bird. Unheeding the roaring
river, ON she kept, her cries of agony and
fear piercing the pauses of the storm.
How like the love of the old fashioned
mother, who followed the child Of her
heart all over the world. Swept away by
passion that child might be, it mattered
not bearing away with him the frag-
ments cf the roof-tree though he did, yet
the mother was with him, Ruth through
all life, and Rachel at his -death.-La-

election precincts. From the beginning,
the strong-holds of Free State and Pro-
slavery men, were these respective towns.
Osawatomie was Free State town,
strongly fortified at home, and fostered
and guarded by the political influence Of
her friends outside. Paola, in the begin
ming, was point occupied and controlled
by the opposite influence. With this
state of affairs, Free State men came by
sections and platoons into the town OF
Paola, and by steady and perssvering ef-
forts carried and successfully maintained
their point at the polls. 1t may in truth
be said, the precinct of Paola is now .
Free State town, and made so without re-
Inducements from outsiders. Osawato-
mie, without any opposition, has a larger
Free State majority, and boasts OF her
achievements when she had no opposi-
ton, and thereby undertakes to undsrrats
her less pretending neighbors.
Osatoatomae-Will vote for Osawatomie
for the county seat; it is local and not
q political interest.
Paola-That is it; make your argu-
ments local and not political, then we will
fairly understand each other.
The parties then separated, apparently
in friendship. RAMBLER.

Sowing Wheat.

The Emporia Netos says: ave have
been making 81 me inquiry from the farm
ers of this aud Madison counties in regard
to the proper time for sowing fall wheat
in this climate. The testimony Of those
who were the most successful this season
is, that the proper time is about the 10th
of September-not later than the 10th.
Mr.. P. Hall, who lives on the Cot
tonwood, raised fine field of fall wheat
this season, which was not damaged by
the rust or frost, and which he sowed in
the middle of September. He had an
other field, which was sowed about ten
days later, which gave a much poorer
yield than the first, did not mature so
we'll, and was more effected by the frost
and rust. Mr.. Grimsly, living on Allen
creek, raised about 40 acres Of excellent
fall wheat this season, which was sown
about the middle Of September. Both
Of these gentlemen will SOW largely this
fall, and not later than the fifteenth OF
September. From indications, we should
Judge that there would be much larger
number of acres of wheat sown this fall
than last.

More and Flauering News from the Pixies Peak
Gold Mines.

Mr.. Robt. B. Willis, Express messenger
between this city and Topeka, arrived
here yesterday. He reports having met
eight men who went out to Pixies Peak
with the Lawrence party some time in
June last. They were returning on ac-
count of their health, most of them being
down with the ague, and for the purpose
of getting tools and provisions.
Their Pilot and one other of the eight
will return this fall, the others will remain
at Lawrence till spring. The party report
that these miners are making from eight
to ten dollars per day, with pans and such
rough washers as they are able to construct
from hollow trees. They also confirm
our former reports about the agricultural
richness Of the country about the head
waters of the Arkansas and the South
fork of the Platte.
The miners had not, when the party
left, been molested by Indians.
Several of the most prominent business
men Of Topeka are making preparations
for immediate emigration, among whom
we mention the names of Col. Holiday
Hugh Moore and Mr.. Huntoon.
| Mr.. Willis, our informant, is to accom-
pany this party from Topeka. and ha:
informed the express company that he
can make ohly one more trip for them, a.

Better than Gold Diggings.

There is great excitement spreading
throughout this region on the subject OF
the gold diggings on the Platte and some
of its tributaries, in this Territory. Well,
it may be so, that gold has been found
there, and that some lucky persons, say
one of hundred, by the hardes: of toll,
and most severe exposure of health and
life, working the day long with pick, pan
and cradle, far from "wife, children and
friends" destitute of the comforts, nay,
necessaries of life, with Colts revolver
for his bedfellow, and a boulder for his
pillow; bears, buffaloes, catamounts,
wolves, skunks, rattlesnakes, vipers, and
all kinds of creeping things, for his neigh
bors, may have succeeded in digging,
washing and rocking out four or five dol
lars in one day. What of it! He'll,
most likely spend it all in extravaganza
and riotous living, as fast as he gets it,
and disqualify himself for regular busi-
ness and social duty, for the remainder
of his life.
Now, we will tell you of better dig
gings than the "gold diggings." Our ad'
vice, though gratis, is good. Leave these
gold mines, at once, if you be there, end
if not there, and wish to get gold by dig
ging, come to Southern Kansas, and take
to yourself one hundred and sixty acres
of Uncle Sans fertile land, anywhere
near Fort Scott, erect thereon a comforta-
Bile cabin, break up land sufficient 10 raise
wheat, corn, potatoes, &C., then take your
pick and shovel and go to digging on this
same land, and with one half the labor Of
the gold diggings, you can dig out from
fifty to one hundred bushels of quot gold)
the best of coal per day, and for this you
can get ten cents per bushel, in gold; thus
you can make from five to ten dollars ev-
cry day, without failure; besides, if you
have wife and children, you and they
can live together on the land, in this geni.
al cline. The pan and the cradle will
not be needed. unless your wife should
permit their use in the house you car
dispense with the revolver, as a bedfel.
low you can 60 to church on Sunday
and sit in the same pew with your wife
if the crino!ine expansion be not too great
and you will LOOK, act and feel, all the
time, like civilized, Christian man.
There now, that's so-come along! L
will pay.-Fott Scott Democrat.

News from Pike's Peal.

We had the pleasure, yesterday, of con-
versing with E. Y. King, Esq, who ar
rived in our city evening before last d.
rect from Pixies Peak. He brings speci-
mems of the gold he dug there, and it has
been pronounced by competent judges as
being worth twenty-one dollars per ounce.
Mr.. King is well and favorably known
here by some Of our most influential citi-
zens, and his statements can be implicitly
relied on.
He left the diggins on the 9th Of July.
He informs us that the trip can be made
very easily in thirty days from this city,
the best route being from here to Fort Ri
ley, thence up the Smoky Hill Fork, the
head of which is within forty miles OF
Pixies Peak-the road is clear Of all OBJ
stscles.
Mr.. King, having been absent from his
friends and relatives in the East for some

And then the whining workman, somewhat ALL

With bile b gilded face. creepeth like snail,
Unwilling 20 work And then his knees ache;

He seeks his quiet cottage. Then he tosseth
His flesh doth creep, each hair becOmesa quill;

From pocket pistols mouth. And then he
His fair round belly. with solid breakfast lined,
Feels very full-as though with ramrod pac ked
With ieaden eyes and bsard Of bristling look.
Full Of fine hopes, and warning momently,
A chill comes over him. The sixth age shifts
Into the chattering magpie with jaws all springs
His talk is all of cold and "clothes-mort
He shakes himself, his bed, the room. the house
Moments seem hours-no sieep-no rest-n'
His manly voice. turning to treble, pipes and
whistles shrill;
And shakes withal in semi -quaver notes.
He's but chilld iron, cold and still. Last scen'

Headache succeeds the chills, and fever hot.
Corpse like he lies;
Cares naught for North or South or East o.

Ouod.

The notorious robber, Scroggins, known
for long time as one of band of horse
thieves, was brought to Fort Riley on the
morning of the 28th ult., in charge of two
men from Weston, No. 1t is well known
to our readers that this scoundrel was
arrested a short time since in Leaven-
worth, from whence, by some manner of
means, he escaped. As we understand it,
he afterwards committed murder, and, by
a man named Miller, of Weston, was
again arrested and transferred to these two
men who brought him to the Fort, ex-
pecting to receive reward of $4,000,
which they had heard had been offered
and was to be paid here for his apprehen-
sion and delivery. Finding no one will
ling to take charge of him or pay the
reward, his custodians returned with him
to Leavenworth. Scroggins is said to be
fine looking man of mere than ordinary
education, and it is also said that he is
connected with band of desperadoes in
this and adjoining counties. Our people
should be on the alert, and our officers
more vigilant. Jsils are much needed in
this Territory.-Junction Sentinel.
