The emigration to Southern Kansas has
not been extensive during the past season
| The reported disturbances, one-half Of
which was never realized here, has been
great barrier to the settlement of the
county but, notwithstanding our real
troubles and all the exaggerated reports
that have gone abroad, the country has
/ hourished, and the beautiful fields now
under cultivation, give the most unmis-
taxable evidence that the people have not
been idle. Mr. Poyner, living just oppo-
site town, on the north side of the Mar
maton, informs us that he will raise a.
least twenty FIVE hundred bushels of corn.
and we are daily receiving as cheering &C.
counts from all parts of the county. We
had occasion short time since to visit
the Usage valley, where we found lovely
country and many valuable improve
ments. The Usage and its numerous
branches, are heavily skirted with the
finest varieties of timber, and when We
noticed the great Improvements and nu-
merous settlements made in that region
since September last We could hardly be.
leive it was the same place we had visit
ed the year previous. Messrs. Rays have
erected fine steam saw-mill.-numeTous
villages are springing up and the country
| looks prosperous aud must soon become
celebrated for its agricultural advantages.
Many splendid claims in that vicinity re-
main unoccupied. Mill Greek which In
tercepts the Marmiton at this place, is an
other fine timbered stream, along the
margin of which are some of the finest
farms in the Territory. The land lying
between this creek and the Marmiton Is
of the choicest Gaality-much ofitis un-
taken. Some of these claims are within
sight of Fort Scott, and in short tins
will be valuable. A few miles south Of
the Marmiton is the Walnut and Dry.
wood streams. heavily titabered, but not
so thickly settled, and We are strongly Of
the opinion that proper investigation
viii bear us out in pronouncing this the
finest farming region in Kansas, suscerti-
BILE of the highest state of cultivation.
The country embraced in this article, hss
water in abundance some of the finest
springs the earth affords, gush out from the
base Of the high lands. as cool and pure
as in the mountain regions of Pennsylvs-
MIA. Bourbon is one of the finest counties
in the Territory, and as soon as its natural
resources are developed, it will be almost
an empire of itself. Notwithstanding the
abundance of timber, coal is mostly used
for fuel, it being of that quality that little
trouble is experienced in burning it in an
ordinary Fireplace, and strange asit may
seem to many, hardly quarter section
can be found that does not give unmis-
taxable evidence of rich coal deposits. Il

Ana-Hor.e Thief Meeting a. .sl.n.on,. nriag..


And-Horse Thief Meeting at Blanion,s Bridge.
Pursuant to previous call, the citizens
of Wakarusa and vicinity met at BIan-
toms Bridge on Saturday, July "a, at 1
O'Clock, P. III.
The meeting was called to order by
Eli W. Bennett, Esq and organized by
choosing L. A. Prather, Chairman, and
j. E. Tefft, Secretary.
A. II. Wheedon, Esq. in brief speech,
stated the object of the meeting. He
understood the object to be, to perfect
arrangements for the better security Of
their property. He was well assured that
there was an organized band of men in
the Territory and in that immediate Vi
cinity, whose sole occupation was steal
ing horses and cattle. He could not help
believing that some of their own towns
men and neighbors were connected with
it. He thought that as they made depre-
dations without regard to patty, the hon.
est men of all parties ought to join to-
gether to devise and put into execution
some plan to recover property that might
be stolen, and to arrest and punish the
offenders.
Spirited remarks were also made by
several other gentlemen, setting forth the
extent to which these deprsdations had
been carried, and the necessity of aspeedy
counter-organization, and their determin-
alton to use their utmos. endeavors to
put an end to these nefarions proceed
irgs.
A. 81 Wheedop, &. ". Bennett, Chas.
Dixon, David Brown and John Peroitt.
were chosen committee to draft con-
stitution and present it at thenext meeting.
A committee was appointed to procure
printed hand bills and notify the next
meeting throughout the county.
Il was voted that the proceedings OF
the meeting be published in the HERALD
Of Freedom and Lawrence Rsplsblican, with
request that they be copied il. the other
Territorial papers.
Tbs meeting then adjourned TO meet
again at Bisntcn's Bridge on Saturday,
