they say that from 80 to so day can BE- safely

Mr. Russell and one Of his companion. have re-
turned 10 GeOrgis. with the intention Of organizing
Il large emigration from that State to the Kansas
gold region. The cOuntTy. they say Is well adapt
ed to agriculture. /; j. well watered. the valleys
having rich soil, while there is plenty of timber,
including pine. Game abounds the scenery is pic
turesque and the climate unsurpassed for health
fuluess.
On their return, Mr. Russell's party met with GO
wagons going to the mines. They assert that the
route to the mines, by the way of Fort Riley and
the Smoky Hill Fork is at least 200 miles shorter
than any other route now Travelled. They estimate
that at least 40 900 persons will be in the neighbOr
hood Of Pike Peak during the next season.
The Union this morning begins II leading article
with very singular proposition. 1t says: We
" have 10 belief that the North would tolerate
poor spend-thrift partner ia the pOtcl affairs of
" this country; and We are equally confident that
"the South would promptly repuliite her con-
"nexion with the North if the latter were in con-
" diion of poverty, degradation aud want" You
will see from this that The Unions IDEAS Of pa
triotism aid of brOtherly or sistery love are of
rather peculiar kind. The South, it says, would
promptly cut locse from you If you were poor, de-
graded, miserable. 1t wants no partners except
such as are profitable and respectable Two things
are worthy Of note in this statement. First; the
admission of the leading metropolitan organ of the
Shareholders that the North is wealthy, power
iul and respectable. What has become of the ter
rble failure Of Free Society Second; if the
South would not tolerate poor and degraded part
ners in the present cOnfederacy, Why is she seek
iDg TO admit into IT, rather TO force into it, such
scaly additional partners as Sonora, Chhuahus,
and the other miserable States Of Mexicol
Antsgonsms," continues The Union, " are fiP
more complete between the East and the West than
between the North and the South. The latter are
more identified in profitable and mutually aovants-
geous trade, growing out OF the Cotton products OF
the South and the manufacturing industry Of the
Eastern and Middle States. Southern laborers are
clothed by these, while between the two regions
there is bot a single antagOnsm-a point of hostile
competition. The one cannot be- successful with
out aiding the other. Their labor is complete
partnership, and, as far as we can see, immensely
advantageous to the South.
Upon What principle is hostility between the tw0
10 be- maintained Their interests do not clash
they are not travelling in opposite directions.
Neither is poor; both ale prosperous. Has their
uncXampled success resulted FROM conflict OF IRE
concilabIe Interest," Have they grown rich in
warfare upon each other Has the South levied
taxes upon the North, and the North, in self
defense imposed cJuntervailing duties upon the
South :"
To all these pertinent questions the Government.

has occurred to modify the hatred of TIE Union to
the North-to put a stop to It's attempts TO excite
sectional jealousy by representing the Ant-Sltyery
