We visited Lawrence last week. The
appearance of that thriving Free State
city now, is quite in contrast with what it
once was, while being threatened with
destrletion by the Missourians and Others,
led on by the infamous Atchison, String
fellow & Co. Now, instead of being har-
rassed by Federal troops and Border Ruff
fans. q Free State Legislature is quietly
pursuing legitimate business in making
wholsome and proper laws, for the gov
ernment and protection of the people of
the Territory, while every one feels that
there is one load of oppression flung aside
bogus legislation. That system of vii
lainy has been taken in hand by the peo-
pie and been efectually expunged. We
trust that no trickery of our enemies can
ever fasten upon US another curse of that
kind, and all those who have been en-
gagged In that nefarious business will now
be consigned to an oblivion of utter dark
ness and disgrace, as a just retribution for
their deeds Of perfdy, in seeking to fast
en- upon free people such an odious code
of laws as are now called kansas Stat
utes."
The present business prospect of Law
renee is not as brisk at this time as might
be expected during prosperous state of
the money market, but, every thing con-
sidered, there is quite as much business
done as could be expected. The village
is fast coming up to that point which
makes one feel that he is in city. The
ELDRIDGE HOUSE is one of the finest
structures west of st. Louis, and is now
being enclosed quite rapidly. We can
see no reason why Lawrence merchants
cannot make it an object, if they viii
take the proper means, to get part, at
least, of the trade from the valley of the
Neosho. Until such times as this region
shall be supplied with stores, very large
trade will and must be carried on with
some point north of US. Now, the most
of our trade goes to Kansas City and In-
dependence, which are forty miles further
from here than to Lawrence. We think
there is fright smart chance" for COM
petition from these different points. Who

The Kansas ss,sIer.

We find upon our table Nos. and 2 of
aTbe Kansas Settler" new journal just
..t,blished at the enterprising town of
T.cumseb, twenty miles west of Law
,.ncs on the Kansas river. Il is pub
r.bed by THOMAS R. LORD. Esq, and late
,ditOr and publisher of 'Lord's Bank
Note Dstector," of Cincinnati. iThe Set
tlsro is distinctive Free State newspa-
pet eschewing the divisions of the party,
and seeking its perpetuity until Kansas is
safely moored in the Union ~ sovereign
State Instead of laboring to compete
with the New York Tribune, or other lead
ing newspapers, in general news. it pro-
noses to advocate and look after the local
news of its own neighborhood, and the
general welfare of the Territory. The
editor says -
The "SErTLER' will be-what every
settler should be-honest, frank, fearless,
charitable, conservative, industrious, in
struetiye and intelligent; and worthy of
welcome reception into every family.
Regarding the great issue upon which SO
much ink and blood has been shed, as
practically settled, its pros and cons will
not be unnecessarily argued. Kansas will
have Institutions and laws in accordance
aud harmony with those prevailing in the
Northern States, and her progress and
prosperity will be such as have character
lied Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Iowa. The development OF natuaal re-
sources and the advocacy of local inter-
ests, Will receive more attention than pol
jtics. The
SETTLER. will be an independent Free
State family newspaper; and being now
established on permanent basis, may be
relied upon as "bona fide inhabitant. y
instead OF mere "claim squatter."
We welcome "The Settler to our table,
and shall cheerfully give it proper place
among our exchanges. I.s editor wields
an intelligent pen, and shows that he is
familiar with the wants of Kansas. We
hope his journal will be well sustained,
as We have reason to believe it viii -,
from the intelligent character of the in
habitants among which it is located.

@ 1t is essential that the people of
Kansas should have and recognise some
faithful and well established newspaper as
central organ, to make known in every
county, every town, and every school
district, whatever is going on and BY
centralising public sentiment, secure uni
ty of political action throughout the Ter
ritory. The Herald of Freedom is un-
doubtedly the best known and most wide
ly circulated newspaper in the Territory.
and stands all right on the main question.
Owing to its locality and history, no 9TH
er paper in the Territory can compete with
it, we therefore recommend our friends
after subscribing for The Settler, to see that
the Herald Of Freedom has subscribers in
every neighborhood. Amedium of CON-
munication will thus be established be-
tween the citizens of all parts of the Ter
ritory.-Kaases Settler.

Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad.

A friend of ours, who has recently
passed over the above road, informs us
that sixty miles of the east end of it are
now complete, and the cars running regu-
larly over it. and that during the course
of next week some fifteen miles more of
it viii be finished and in use. Fifteen
miles of the west end of the road are also
completed, but for want of the requisite
machinery no cars have yet been placed
upon the track.
Running in connection with the east
end of the road to st. Joseph, is one of
the best lines of stages to be found any,
where in the country. The trip from st.
Joseph to Hannibal can BE- made in three
days, and from that point any portion of
the country can be reached by rail. The
fare from st Joseph to Hannibal is S18.
The III. and st. j. road is progressing
rapidly, considering the present financial
condition of the country. The contrac-
tors are still confident of being able to
complete it BY the 1st of September next.

This town, situated at the junction Of the

many of her sister towns in population and en-
terprise.
There is now in operation good Steam Saw
Mill with power sufficient to run a pair of Burrs
which will be attached soon. There are also two
good Shingle Machines capable of cutting from
six to eight thousand shingles each, per-day.-
Timber is plenty, and as good as can be found in
any portion of the Territory. Land is of the best
quality, both for farming and stock raising.
There is Post Office, two Dry Goods, and two
