The Border Indiana

Frank Leslie's Illustrated News con-
tains q photograph of Miss Sallie, Shaw
nee belle, the accomplished daughter of
Charles Blue Jacket, of this region
Blue Jacket is leading man among the
Shawnees, and was elected their chief
some months since, but declined the hon.
or in favor of Parks, whose administrative
abilities had long been tested, He is in
terpretsr between the whites and Shaw
nees, for which the government pays him
a salary. @
The Shawnees are pretty thickly set
tied in portions of the Territory adjacent
to US, and do much Of their dealing in
Westport. Scarcely day passes that We
do not meet them on our streets and see
them in orr stores and shops. They are
not only civilized, but some of them are
christianized and educated. Some fami-
lies are wealthy and own good farms, fine
stock, and every comfort and luxury that
are priced among opulent farmers in the
older countries.
Marriages between white men and In
dian women are no uncommon occurrences
in this vicinity, though we have never
heard of marriage between an Indian
man and white woman.
The children of these mixed marriages
sometimes have the white complexion Of
the father, but almost invariably inherit
the distinctive Indian features Of the
mother.-Berder Star.

SURVEYOR GENERALS OFFICE, !

A. SLAUGHTER, Esq, County Surveyor,
Lexington, johnson Co., K. T.-SIR =
Your letter Of the 9Th inst, complaining
of the irregularity in the quarter section
corners of your county, (Johnson,) has
been received.
This Office, having no control over
county surveyors, can do nothing more
than express an opinion, and anything
contained in this reply, is not designed as
positive instruction.
Irregularities of the kind referred to in
your communication, no doubt, frequently
occurs, particularly on east and west Sec
ton lines. This is, in q great measure,
owing to the fact that some deputy sur
voyors do not always run the random line
through the center mile, and close upon
the proper section corner, but only run
east or west 40 Oh. and there establish the
quarter section corner. The natural re-
suit of such course is, that the quarter
section corner is not in true line, and
not at an average distance between the
proper section corners. Still, if those cor
ners can be found and properly identified
according to the original field notes of the
survey, you, 1 think, have no authority to
move them. In answer to your inquiry,
"Have the right to move corner stones,
when 1 find them out of the true bearing
and distances ?" 1 give 1t as my opinion,
that when the lines of section are found
to be badly run, and the corners some
what out of their proper places, the cor
ners must nevertheless govern, if they can
be identified.
If the evidence is positive, that Sec
ton or quarter corner has been removed
from its original position, (and that evil
dence may be manifested either by the
want of proper witness trees or mounds
or in the absence of timber or mounds
by the direct testimony of persons know
ing the facts,) then / should think il
would be competent for you to re-estab-
lish such corner in accordance with the
field notes of the original surrey. Very
respectfully, your obt serv't
WARD B. BURNETT,
Surveyor General.

AdvancinR-

The material interest of the Territory
seem to be rapidly advancing, and thrift
ty and intelligent population is coming to
Us from all parts-especially from Iowa
and Minnesota, which would seem to be
depopulating on account of the excessive
GOODNESS of the past two winters.
The financial Revision which has been
so severely felt in most of the new States,
happened at time fortunate for the peo-
pie Of Kansas. It checked the speculat-
ing mania in its inception, and before the
real property of our towns and country
had been inflated in value, and encum-
bered with mortgages. It has had the
effect to show what is real and what is nc
titious-reducing things to their proper
standards. Of the many paper towns
which marred our beautiful domain, the
stakes alone remain to tell the traveller Of
their site-while those points which, by
their favorable natural locality or improve
ments, are destined to be Of importance,
are rapidly developing.
Money is usually scarce, and as q con-
sequence property sells at q lower price
now than at any prior time within two
years, and to such as are prepared for in
vsstment, the best of opportunities now
present themselves. - Rgdndott Gasstte.

Almighty as having repeatedly done,) or
he might have made them different from
the first, any one of which propositions
would come equally within his province
and his power. Now, by simple law of
mathematics, the adding together Of two
and two gives US four for the amount; and
1 wish to ask if there is any power in ex-
istence which can so modify or amend
that law, as to cause that addition to pro-
duce any other number? Is there any
power which could have made that law
otherwise in the first place +? or which
can annul it. now that it exists =? More !;
Was there ever a time sshsn that law did not
erist? An emphatic "No! Never !" is
answered back from every point in the
infinite universe. That law is as eternal
as God can be /; and its existence and op-
eratioHs are as much independent Of Him
as if no such Being had ever existed, save
in the fanciful imaginings Of poetical
dreamers. If such be the case in refer
ence to one of the simplest laws with
which we are acquainted, how much more
so, if comparison Of the kind may b.
rightfully instituted, in reference to thu
vast numbers of laws which regulate tn,
wonderful and complicated machinery o
mind and matter through all their depart
ments Is, then, that which the worlt
has SO long worshipped as Omnipotent
the mere subject of natural necessity
Humanity will be better prepared to de
eide this question when reason, Olsen
thralled and enlightened, shall have as
cended her throne, and asserted her RICH
to a hearing in her own courts. Till thel
and ever, I remain, Yours for free an
thorough Investigation,

Parting Advice.

Gov. j. W. DENVER, Of Kansas, upon
resiening his Office, improves the occasion
by offering some suggestions TO the peo-
Die of that Territory. Among other
things. he advises them not 10 be in haste
about establishing State Government.
The Territory, he says, has NO money, not
a dollar-but, on the contrary, labors un-
der a heavy debt, and is, therefore, in no
condition to incur the expense OF State
government.
Governor DENVER indicates the direc-
ton in which the real interest OF Kansas
lies. She is now beyond the reach OF
outside interference. Her status Is q free
community, is unaltsred. The causes,
therefore, which have impelled her to
seek immediate admission into the Union
no longer exist. What her people require
is three Or four years of industrious ap:
plication to agriculture, without political
disturbances or oppressive taxation.-
Doubtless such condition would best
anti the masses. But ambitious men who
hone TO be Senators, Representatives,
Governors and Judges, viii think differ
ently.-M T. Times. ss

an effort to re-organize, If not eliminate
in its infancy, by discreet conservative
sentiment in that Convention.
If certain leading politicians must in
sist upon a Reorganization Of the Free
State party, we must insist that they are
agitators of q matter that never can result
in any good to the people of this Terri
tory; but rather promotive Of excitement,
trouble and disaster. All who wish to
preserve amicable relations with the di-
verse political elements of the great Free
State party, will promptly suppress any
new organization, and thus secure the
thing so essential to our prosperity, name
ly, political quiet.
A little reflection upon tho part Of our
conservative Free State men, will eyince
the fact that we are neither ready nor
able to sustain the burden Of State Gov
eminent. A short time of political quiet
will make us adequate for that onerous
responsibility. We have but recently
passed through a great political excite
ment, occasioned by the Lecompton Con-
stitution, and fruitless attempt on the
part of some politicians to set in motion
a Constitution framed at Leavenworth,
doubtless in contravention Of Laws, and
without force or validity. These excite
ments have passed, and have left the cit
liens of Kansas q season Of tranquility
heretofore unknown since its organization.
Agriculture, Commerce and the Arts are
beginning to organize upon q prosperous
basis, and, if left uninterrupted for b
short period of time, must Attract the
spirit of emigration in the States, and
speedily fill our Territory with sober,
industrious and intelligent population. A
year now of quiet would evince the ex-
ceeding fertility of our soil, our valuable
vegetable and mineral resources, and
cause all sections of the populated dis
tricts to be permeated with railroads, for
b the transportation of our vast products to
: market, and the bringing back goods in
g return. Under such state Of things,
g produce would bear good price, goods
4 would be cheap and money plenty.
# Another fact, worthy Of consideration,
y is that in relation to tho vast amount Of
a labor for the Legislature, this winter, to
perform, during the short term allowed it
by law. Our present code of laws is very
o imperfect and conflicting, and the good Of
l. the Territory demands thorough revi-
n sion during the next session Of the Legis-
I, lature. To do this as it should be done
y and enact such Others as our present ne
1t cessitity requires, would consume all the
IT time allowed for the session without en-
y tsring upon the arduous, lengthy and
!, elaborate work Of providing for Consti-
IS tutional Convention, and our admission
10 into the Union.
y Besides all this, the work Of presenting
e our Territory for admission into the Union
i at present, would meet with certain defeat
h in the halls of Congress; but, if postponed
t, for short time, our transition from Ter.
al ritorial to a State government would b
B. easy and successful. Rs.
