The Atlantic

The November number of this sterling
American Monthly has been received from
the publishers. and fully equals any of its
predecessors, which is equivalent to saying
that it is capital number-well filed with
choice reading matter-in which is mingled,
with lighter entertainment, grave and
thoughtful considerations of the leading
political, social, scientific and religious top
les of the day. THE ATLANTIC has achieved
success in proportion to its rare merit,
and We are happy to record so much in ia
vor of the good taste and discernment of
the American people. The ATLANTIC will
commence new volume on the first of JAN
uary next, which will be good time to
subscribe. See notice in our local column
in regard to terms, etc.

more so. here and in other portions of Kan
sas. There are already, in two or three
counties in the Territory, societies of this
kind In operation Let US not be behind
them. We have already a population of
some 3,000-in another year the number
viii be doubled. No portion of Kansas, or
any other country, Is better adapted to ag-
riculture and stock-raising than Breekin-
ridge county. An organization of this kind
is the only means of inducing general in
terchangs of thought and opinion on sub
jects relating to the different branches of
business, and this is what is wanted here,
where the country is new, and where the
soil, climate, and almost every other feature
differs from that of the States. So let US
all take an interest In this matter let
meeting be called, officers elected, and be-
gin preparations for holding fair next fall
that would at least do honor to any county
in Kansas. L. M.

Sorghum in Iowa

The farmers of Iowa seem to take the
lead in the Northwest the present season in
the cultivation of Chinese sugar-cane.-
With the most ordinary care. and upon
ground SO wet that the plant got very late
start, the crop yields two hundred gallons
OF excellent syrup per acre. The article is
so abundant in some localities that it is sell

Notwithstanding the hard times, there
seems to be a considerable quantity of the
f'needful'' in circulation in this community
-at least SO we have been told. We, of
course. can know nothing about it from ez-
perienee- Trade was never so brisk. Teams
are constantly loading with groceries, pro-
visions, dry goods, etc., for different parts
of the Southern, Southwestern, or Western
portions of the Territory. The people are
just beginning to find out that Emporia is
the best point at which to purchase these
articles. Look out for the trade of next sea-
son, and be prepared for it, is our advice to
the merchants of Emporia. The country
roundabout here has but just commenced to
grow, and its trade will be increased ten fold
during the next ten years.

only the Beginning of the Battle.

Whether Mr.. Douglas has majority of
all the votes cast in this State on Tuesday,
Is still an open question. Possibly the
light vote In the northern counties where
there was no contest for members of the
Legislature, has left him at least an apparent
popular majority. 1t is question of little
practical importance. and we refer to it mere
ly to preface something else. We shall be
very sorry, very sorry indeed, to believe
that Illinois is pro-slavery State but
whether 1t be or not, we owe to our fathers,
our country and posterity, war against the
to be terminated only with our iiyes-and
we mean to discharge the debt with such
power as has been given US. We are de-
feated-not for the first time, perhaps not
for the last. The seed of Republicanism
planted in this great contest must spring
and ripen into its proper fruit; if not now,
then at the next year or the next twenty
So long as life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness are left US, the Republican party
is enlisted with all its energies for the bat
tie of the Right against the Wrong-and
what remains to be done when we have
ceased to be, we shall bequeath feryently to
our children. This is the spirit which ami
mates Republicans from Maine to Oregon.
They want no Senator's, no Presidents, at
the price of their principles. They will try
again and hundred times again. The
cause which aEimates them viii outlive the
mountains.
So throw up your hats, Messrs. Demo
Gratis, and kill the strength of yoar powder.

be sure to remember. Your day for easy
victories has gone by. AS said Paul Jones,

What a litigous people We are becoming
Six months ago the people of this county
were living together in the utmost harmony.
Such thing as quarrel or dispute was
scarcely known. All matters of difference
were left to friendly arbitration by neigh
bors, and both parties acquisced in the re-
suit. There were no costs or hard feelings.
But now there is scarcely day passes but
there is suit of some kind being tried be-
fore one or the other of our Justices-en-
gendering hard feelings, and subjeeting the
parties to heavy costs-oftentimes double
the amount in contest. We much dislike
to see this spirit exhibited. 1t would be
much better to suffer loss of few dollars,
than to waste il in useless, worse than use
less, litigation.

which is Just what is needed to develop its
resources. No better chance for safe in
yestments exists anywhere in the west than
in the Neosho Valley. Everything has here
grown with a steady growlh-has not been
inflated to its utmost tension on fictitious

occupy to be sold for their benefit. We
