NEW FIEM.-We notice that the editor

creasing his business, since his return
from the Weston Congressional Conven-

a committee to report permanent officers,
and selected himself for Secretary!) He
and DIR. Peters "Old Wise have en-
tered into "cohootncrship," for buying
up the Abolitionists of Holt County, at
auction. "Wilse" furnishes the capital
and talent, and the News man does the
wind work. They will also tilt at Tour

FERRY BOAT CONE AT LAST

The long looked for Steam Ferry Boat,
I" White Cloud" arrived here safe and
sound. on Wednesday afternoon A
number of gentlemen from this place,
went down on the Watossa, on Tuesday,
to meet her, and found her at Savannah
Landing. Her arrival here was greeted
by the crowd collected on the Levee, with
the firing (in the absence Of cannOn) Of
couple Of anvils.
The boat is exceedingly well built,
with excellent machinery, and is large
enough to accommodate the public al
this point for long time to come. She
is swift, smooth runner, and is easily
managed in wind and current.
On the same evening. her course across
river was selected, and the landings pre-
pared, and she is now ready to accom-
modate all who desire to cross, and to
carry over teams, lumber, or any descrip-
ton of freight. Persons in the back
country, or from Iowa, North West Mis-
souri,. or any other place. having to cross
the river, can now come with the assur-
ance that they viii find an excellent boat,
ready at all times to give them = speedy
crossing, be the weather sunny or rainy,
calm or windy, and that they win be
subjected to the least possible delay on
either shore. =

MORE CoSsIsTENcY.-Gen. Lane made
a speech, short time since, in the Uni
tartan Church at Lawrence, and announ-
ced himself as candidate for United
States Senator. His reason for desiring
thsofice was a novel one. Some two
years since; Stephen A. Douglas came
down upon him severely in the United
States Senate. Lane challenged him,
and Douglas declined, upon the ground
that they were not on an equality-he
being Senator, and Lane only private
citizen. Lane wants to go to the Senate,
that he may renew the challenge, and
Douglas may have no excuse for refusing
it. The Leayenworth Constitution, which
Lane took conspicuous part in framing,
contains section which renders any one
ineligible to hold Office under it, who
shall ever send, accept, or knowingly
carry for another. challenge to fight a
duel. Yet he asks for an Office under
that Constitution, that it may give him
an opportunity to violate that section, by

copy a short communication from the St.
Louis Democrat, to the effect that gold
has been discovered at Carson, Brown
County, in this Territory. Notwithstan-
ding the great excitement spoken of, no
linking of it has come down this way
The writer says the particles were acct
dentally discovered, while wetting the
roots Of some fruit trees which were being
set QUIT having been among the dirt
adhering to the roots. Now, as these
trees had been brought from distance,
(no doubt from one of the States, ad-
uniting that particles of gold were dis
covered, which is the more sensible COZ
clusion-that the gold existed in the soil
where the trees grew, and part of which
adhered to the roots in digging them out;
or that the gold was in the soil where
they; were to be planted, but which they
had not Jet touched? This story may
do very well to raise the price of prop
erty, but it is very poorly put together.

MORE ABOUT IT.-We have learned
another item in regard to the late County
Convention, which may be interesting or
diverting to some. Mr.. Barr not only
attended as a Delegate on his own hook,
but acted as Delegate for the entire Town
ship, and cast eight votes accordingly.
We learn that be also made an appeal in
the Convention for White Cloud, stating
that she had always done her duty, and
had heretofore been overlooked, and was
entitled to some attention. We have mo-
thing to say against Mr.. Barr for this,
but he must certainly see that it would
have insured kinder feelings towards him
throughout the Township, had he acted
properly from the start. He was posted
up in regard to the Convention. If, in
stead of helping the scullduggery along,
he had informed the people that there
was to be Convention, that there was
some chiselling in the matter, and that a
full delegation had better be sent, to rep
sent the entire Township, and make
their voices be heard, he would have sa-
we'd a great deal of popularity. 1t was
q preconcerted arrangement that the peo-
pie of the whole County should not be
represented in the Convention, and Mr..
Barr, by the part he acted, cannot be
viewed in any other light than as an aid
or and a6ettor of the iuggle.
