Judge Jones, of Indiana, who never allows chance
for joke to pass him, occupied the bench when it
became necessary to obtain juryman in case in
which L. and b were employed as counsel.

cidedly German in his modes of expression.

opened vault and the young men were in ribuation

to recover it. They procured powerful magnet, at

they had lost the key. In about ten minutes the
magnet was brought to the surface with the key
attached.

Mission of The Erss State eartr.

Assuming that the English bill, with
is bribery and threatening features, has
been handled by free people, in the only
manner consistent with the honor and Dig
iIy of the Territory-that is to say, 49,
nmlug that it has been thoroughly, even
If not overwhelmingly defeated, it now
becomes the duty of the free press through
out the Territory, to turn their own and
he peoples attention To the prol er course
10 be pursued in the immediate future,
Cf that expression can be allowed } and
make an effort To ascertain and arrsng-
public sentiment for some sonnd ,nI
healthy programme for the Free State
party.
Our view of the matter is this that
the great Free State party is one composed
of detachments from all the old parties.
Reused up by the necessity of the occa-
sion, it sprung at once into being, and
while we would prefer to see it maintain
Its existence and become the great party
of the embryo State, yet experience
teaches us that such will not be the case; on
The contrary, we are forced to believe that
its mission once performed, its various
elements will, to a great extent, resolve
themselves again into the old party lines
and partisan predictions, from which
they originally sprung. The question
then naturally occurs, as to whether by
the defeat of the English bill, the mission
of that great party is ended. We reply
emphatically, no!
When the only surviving clause Of the
English bill-to wit: the portion of it
which provides that we cannot come in
as State until we have the required pop
ulation--is repealed; when a Constitu-
tional Convention has been duly called, and
good sound Free State Constitution by
them submitted, has been duly ratified by
the people, when that Constitution has
been accepted by the Congress of the
United States as Republican in form-and
Kansas, with her hardy sons, can say,
behold State )" when she takes her
place, and keeping step to the music Of
the Union, joins the great array of the
American confederated soyereignties, then
let the Free State men turn from the
ranks back to their first loves, and no:
until then. Let us keep together until
all these things are accomplished; our
mission is not complete by the mere de-
feat of the English contrivance.-Egsoood
Press.

NofIn.

We publish this week letters from
Capt. WALKER and Mr.. TApPAN, both in
reply, as they claim, to Gov. ROBINSON.
We have no desire TO mingle in this con-
troversy, and we shall not do it. We may
be permitted to say, however, that the re-
mark of Gov. R.. in his Report" was
not of that character which demanded so
much space to reply to it.
Is it not about time that all of US were
turning our attention to other matters than
those old controversies /? They are get
ting stale. Let US get up something nsao,
and then zoe can al go in. Though not
much of a pugilist. yet shall net hest
tate to hold the hat of any of our friends
in this triangular fight.

cola pi.oov.ris. in wss,sru Kausas.

By Mr. T. f. Hicks, an old companion
of Col Fremont, who arrived in this city
yesterday from Emporia, Kansas, we learn
important information respecting the pew
ly discovered gold mines on Green River,
in the western part Of that Territory.
Mr.. Hicks lef. EmpoTia week ago.
The wheat and oats had all been harvest
ed in good order, and the yield was ex-
traordinarily great. Mr.. Hicks threshed
over eighty-two bushels Of wheat grown
upon two acres of ground, and thinks thst
is but little more than an average yield
of other fields in that vicinity. All other
kinds of grain and vegetables were proper
tionably large, and the grass crop turned
off three tons to the acre on the upland
prairie.
The celebration of the Fourth, at En-
poria was participated in by about 15OO
persons
On Thursday, the 22nd, at Burlingame,
120 miles west of Kansas City, on the
Santa Fe road, he overlook a company OF
seventeen or eighteen men, with teams,
who were returning from the gold Dig
gins on Green river, to Leavenwofth
after provisions. From Mr. Robert ].
Wilson, who was in command Of the
train, he learned that this was a portion
of party of over hundred-men, WO-
men and children-who started from Lit
tie Rock, Arkansas, in May last. They
had a considerable amount of gold dust
with them, which appeared 70 be of pure
quality. In answer to question put by
Mr. H, as to how they had done, Mr.
Wilson replied that .'they had no reason
to complain" Their point of operation
vas on a small creek at the head OF Green
river, which runs outof the Green Noun
aims. aud at a distance of about 400 miles
from Fort Riley, or IS miles soath-east
nf Fort Bridger At the time they leiL
-ome 400 persons we're tiisre-some ifom
Salt Lake, some released soldiers, and the
balance from Kansas and NebrSska.
The river beds seem 70 contain the
richest deposits. The stream they were
on had been very high most Of the tIne'
y hlch impe.ied Their success /; but ise!
are now constructing 3 dam SO as 70
change the course of the stream and ex-
pose creVices In the bottom, which they
supposed containe,i rich deposits OF gold.
The health of those there had been
good, and no disturbance had been mani
tested by the Iudians.-Missogri Demo

The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-08-14

OF We have received long review
of Mr.. DEMONS lecture in this place a
week ago last Wednesday evening, with
a request to publish it. We have not
published notice of that lecture, and do
not propose to. It is not our design to
sustain or oppose Mr.. D. in his arguments.
The only position we have taken in regard
to him, was to sustain his right either to
be heard or let alone. Ifa person wishes
to reply to him, the same platform which
Dir. D. occupied, is at his service, and in
behalf of the citizens of Lawrence we
pledge him an honest and patient hearing.
Besides this, it would not be just to our
distant readers, to fill up two and half
columns of our paper with review of
this character, without giving the other
side hearing. Should we do so, another
two aud half columns would, probably
be required in reply, and thus religious
discussion would be sprung upon us,which
would extend itselfad infRitum.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-08-14
Sickness,

Reports reach US of large amount of
sickness in the southern portions of Kan
sas, along the bottoms of the Neosho and
its tributaries, as well as on the Usage and
Pottowotomie. Our informant states that
as far as his observation extends, the sick
ness, as has been the case in past years. is
limited almost wholly to those who have
settled on the low lands, in timber, and
along the principal water courses, where
miasma accunulates, and the winds do
not reach to blow it away.
We cannot repeat too often, that those
who want health in Kansas, as in any of
the western States, must erect their
dwellings on the high lands, away from
the timber. Towns, too, which have been
located on the low lands, in time, will be
left without an inhabitant.
