Should you ask us, why this rumpus, Why this wonderful commotion, Why the rush is all at Warmers, Why they tel. such mighty stories, Tell you why so many people Get their Groceries at Warmers, Get their Teas and get their Sugars, Get their Meats and get their Oysters, And other necdfuls all delivered? 'Tis because they take the papers, Go to yondcr little cities,
 Buy for Cash, and bring the stuff home, Buy just what by all is needed, Sell for Cash and little profits, Sell for mighty little profits, Keep the little wheels in motion, That's the way they get the custom, And the Ladies take peep in, See no sctters to annoy them. Buy just such as suits their fancy, Of Confcctionarics, &c.

Worth Reading.

Let no one fail to read the letter of
ADVISOR" profering some very good
advice to DR.. ROBINSON at this time,
when, according to Thacher, he is writing
himself into a non-enviable position.
"Adyisor'' seems to understand the Gov
ernor's case, and has the fearlessness to
tell him so. We would not endorse the
latter suggestion of Advisor" as the very
best, until we have seen how the people
will act in another distinguished case;
though, it is probable it will be found the
sure road to political preferment. The
advice, in the aggregate, is well-timed, and
ifreceived in the kindly spirit it is prompt
ed, there is yet possibility that the Doc
tor can redeem himself.

A Fighting Governor.

Gov. STEWART, of Missouri, is acquir-
ing quite a reputation-over the left-as a
pugilist. Several months ago, in one OF
his drunken sprees, if we recollect right
ly, the Governor was badly beaten, which
made him the subject of ridicule all over
the country.
The 81. Joseph journal of the 2Sth
,,lt.. records another of these affairs" OF
his excellency, in which he received, not
only good beating, but black eye In
the bargain. L. is said the Governor was
not in a good fighting condition on this
occasion, and hence, probably, the reason
of the bunged eye The fight took place
in St. Joseph, in bar-room a: the brew
cry, and was with German physician by
the name of DR.. ERDMANN.

Letter from Nemaha Couniy,
IpANv K n Anonet On rs

ALBANY, K. T., August 80, 1858.
G. w. Brown, Esq.-DEAR SIR:-You
perceive by the vote of Brown and Ne
maha counties, that we are "all right on
the goose" Pro-slavery men are easily
counted here, yet the Free State men are
not to be counted in as Republicans, while
we remain in Territorial condition. I
have not found Free State man in North
ern Kansas, who is in favor of giving up
our present organization, and organizing
a party, the effect of which will be to
divide and weaken our forces. The coun-
ty seat of Nemaha county is now perma-
nently located at Seneca, on the Nemaha
river, and on the Government road,
through which the trains pass on their
way from Fort Leavenworth to Utah. 1t
is most beautiful site for town. There
are many most beautiful prairie claims in
Nemaha county yet unoccupied. This is
portion of the country that presents
many attractions to the emigrants. One
can get good claims by going back west
from the Missouri river from thirty-five to
forty miles. The corn in Brown county
is magnificent The spirit of improve
ment exists here. Some thirty substan-
tial buildings have been erected at Hiawa.
tina, Brown county, this season. Brick
making is going on there, and also al
PadOnia and Plymouth. A fine steam
saw mill has just been erected at Hamlin
and one is expected to be in operation a
Albany in few weeks. Progress is thu
watchword of our people, and we ar,
resolved to put our shoulders to the wheel
and develop the resources of our countr.
as rapidly as possible. Yours truly.

The New Dodge.

The project of an immediate organiza-
tion of the Republican party is abandoned
by the leaders in the movement, and in
place of it, through the action of the Re-
publican Clubs it is hoped by these politi-
cal wiseacres, to get control of the offices
of the Free State party, by getting their
own tools to fill them. 1t would be well
if the people would keep an eye open,
and watch the action of these "Republi-
can Clubs" "a wheel within a wheel'
is complicated and frequently very dan
gerous machinery.

Seen from III. Distance.

We extract the following from pri-
vate letter just received from leading
Republican of New England:
"One word about another Constitution:
See to it, by all means, that our folks are
not to be embarrassed by the Leaven-
worth Constitution. If you want to come
into the Union, have new Convention
called, and a new Constitution fairly and
legally framed, without any Objectionable
features, and we viii then have the fairest
field for the prettiest fight, if the Democ-
racy refuse to admit Kansas under it, that
has yet been witnessed. You cannot be
too cautious about that The universal
voice is against Leavenworth- It was the
abortion Of corner lot Legislature"
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-09-11
Think

Human life is indeed cheap in Kansas.
Among all the murders committed here,
under every shade of circumstances, there
has not yet been conviction for homi-
eide in a court of law. To take the life
of an opponent seems the easiest way to
silence him, without the least danger to
the silencing party. If our courts can
give us no relief, courts of the people
must be instituted, which will redress,
without delay, those outrages upon soci-
ETY., and thus make it secure from the
depreeations of highwaymen and muir
derers. Let the people think of this
matter, and act when the crisis comes.

trip over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and
were again delighted with the grand and pic.
turesoueness of its scenery, its cool mountain
breezes. its courteous and efficient officers, its
prompt running and its able and uneaualod
management So much has been said of this
great route, its scenery, it's bridges, its hugh
holes in the ground, its splendid works and
vast concerns, that we could scarcely speak of
it in detail without repeating something that
has already been written. The road has COM
pletelv revolutionized the country through which
it passes. Only few years ago most of the
adjacent county produced nothing but barren
wild weeds and tough scrub oak; a habitation
or an individual was a sight to see The great
enterprise has caused the rise of thriving vii
lagos, and thickly populated country The
heretofore barren fields are waving with golden
harvests, and everything wears tie aspect of
thrift and civilization. The results attending
the completion of this great work have been as
vastrand surprising almost as the undertaking
itself
In going east the train was in charge of Capt.
James Walters, to whom we are indebted for
many attentions. He is popular and efficient
officer.
On the return trip, VIZ fortunately fell into
tie hands of Major A. P. Shut, whose many
sterling qualities have endeared him tothe COM
pany and rendered him tavorite with all who
travel the road.
