RESTORATION OF TRADE.-Nothing
tends, during a dull time, to restore
business like Printing. You can get
Cards, Circulars, Handbills, Bill Heads,
and every other kind Of Printing to suit
your taste, at the Day Book Printing Es-
Enlistment No>27 East Main st.
1t is astonishing what great result may
be achieved through the agency of the
printer. Publicity is all that good BUSH
ness man wants, in order for him to OBJ
tain complete success, but let his light
be hid" and he will find his talents COM
paratively useless.
MAYORS CoURT.-We went to the
Court House this morning, with smile
on our co,t,stena,ace, thinking that we
would have the pleasure of informing
our readers Of the particulars of rich
joke that happened last night, but on en-
tering the Mayors office to our utter dis
may we were informed that there was
nary case to report-we turned round and
bolted.
P. S.-Since writing the above we
have been informed that the parties con-
cerned in the joke, settled the matter
amongst themselves this morning.

The March Upon the Mormons

1t is expected that force of three hun
dred more recruits will! leave the New
York Station for Fort Leavenworth,
about the lst of April, to reinforce the
regiments destined for the Utah service. -
After that addition, only about two hun
dred more viii be required to fill up all
the regiments to their full complement of
men There will then be accumulated at
that fort about eight thousand men, who
will probably take up their line of march
for Utah between the Goth of April and
the 10Th of May, at which time the grass
along the route will be lorg enough for
the horses to nibble. The distance from
Fort Leavenworth to Camp Scott, where
Colonel Johnston is now stationed with
one thousand five hundred men, is nearly
one thousand miles, and from that point
to Salt Lake City about ninety-two
miles Gin. Eng.

We have received number of letters
making inquiry with regard to the loca-
tion Of land warrants in Kansas We
will State that no lands in this Territory
are subject to an eBtFyby warrants;-ex-
cept by pre-emptors, who may use them
in payment for their claims. For this
purpose a large demand now existsy for
land warrants, one hundred and sixty acre
warrants finding the best sale, as the Office
has decided that but one warrant caDbe
laid on each claim. Thus, pre-emptor
cannot use two eighty-aere= wasrants-in
payment OF one hundred and sixty acres
of land, but can use one forty, eighty or
one hundred and twenty acre warrant in
payment for corresponding number Of
acres of his claim, and the remaining por-
tion must be paid for in specie at 81 25
per acre. The pre-emptor pays at the
land Office 81 for each forty acres paid for
by warrant.
Most claims are paid for at the land
offices by warrants, as the pre-emtors save
thereby from $40 to $50, depending upon
the cost of the warrants. There is conse-
quently no small demand for one hundred
and sixty-acre land warrants in the Terri
tory. Owing to the. extreme scarcity of
money many warrants are sold to pre- emp
tors Oh from three to tweye months time,

Fer the Spirit of Democracy


DEAR SPIRIT Il see that the editor
in his correspondence of March 5th, says
"Dr. Stout has presented a bill, prepared,
believe. by the faculty of the Medical
College here" &c. Now, my inestimable
colleague is q little in error. The bin
referred to was prepared solely by myself,
and, prior TO presenting it in the House
/ submitted copy of it, to the faculty of
the Starting Medical College, and they
highly approved of the provisions of the
bill. This fact, probably led my friend
JERE. into the error. The bill is short,
and would be pleased to see it published
in the Spirit, in order that my constitu-
ents may be prepared to approve or con-
dcmn its provisions. l have received let
ters from different parts of the State,
approving and urging its passage. Is it
not high time that the scientific medical
man should be protected from the imposi-
tion of the imposter, and the life and
health of the people protected from the
knife of the empiric? should be pleased
to receive, by letter, the opinions of my
constituents, or as many as see proper to
give it, at ar early'day.
