a New cold Diseoyery.

A gentleman residing near Golden Grove,
Barton county, informs the Greenfield South
a0ester, that several Frenchmen have leased
considerable quantity of land In Golden
Grove (about fifteen miles from Greenfield
for the purpose of commencing digging fol
gold in the spring. Very extensive old
diggings are found there-excavations near
ly twelve feet deep and extending about hall
mile in length, and banks of dirt nearly
as high as mans head. with trees about as
thick as mans body are found growing in
the banks. We are told that California
miners have examined these old diggings
and say there is every appearance of gold,
save the shining stuff itself; that quartz
rock and black sand is found in abundance.
When these old excavations were made and
oy whom. is a profound mystery to the ma
tiVes, and will perhaps forever remain such.

Along Distance to Mill.

A few days since gentleman brought &
corn grist to be ground at the mill of Par.
ham d Phelps, in this place, from the Santa
Fe Crossing of the Cottonwood, sirty miles
west of Emporia-this being the nearest
mill to that settlement. He speaks favora.
bly, of the Upper Cottonwood, and says it is
rapidly filling up with settlers. Timber and
stone are abundant. and good claims can yet
be had along the stream. AS yet, Emporia
is the nearest trading point of any import
ance to these settlements, and for time at
least. if our merchants will it, their trade
will come to this place.

The Messrs. Walker, of this place, are
now running their hack from Emporia to
Lawrence and back every week-leaving
Emporia every Monday morning, and
arriving in Lawrence on Tuesday; leaving
Lawrence on Thursday. arriving in En-

Messrs. Walker to the travelling public as
gentlemen in every way worthy of patron
age. We certainly wish them that success
they so richly deserve.

The N. Y. Tribune of the eth ult SAYS

Ihe N. 1. Tribune of the 6th ult says
"Rumors have been current for some
time in this city to the effect that a military
expedition is being fitted out here. ostensi-
bly for the purpose of assisting Comonfort
IN maintaining his stand against Santa An

proceedings have been taken to get volun-
teers. 1t is not at all probable that this is
the real destination of the expedition. Al

Educational Project.

The Rev. Mr.. Morse, Congregational min
lister. living near this place, desires to es-
tablish in Emporia. during the coming sum
mer, SELECT SCHOOL, of the best grade, to
be a permanent institution, in which the
youth of both sexes may be taught all the
English branches together with the Ian
guages- increasing the facilities for IN
struction as the number of scholars increas-
es-and thus gradually founding an insti.
tute which would be similar and equal to
institutions of this character in the East.
The idea is, we think, good one, and the
plan feasible. Mr.. Morse is a gentleman
of varied literary attainments, and occupies
a high position as minister and as man,
in the church of which he is a member
From his extensive acquaintance with East
ern institutions and teachers. and conspic-
uous position in his church, he will be able
to bring to bear great influence in favor
of such project.
1t is time the people of this neighbor-
hood were awakening to the importance OF
inaugurating good system of education for
their children. The rough edges of pioneer
life have been worn off-most of the set
tiers will be comfortably situated by anoth-
er year and will have means and leisure to
aid such project with, and our faith in
their intelligence and public spirit is such
that we make no doubt they viii all lend a
willing, helping hand. Something could
and should be done this year-the sooner
the better. -ag.,e='

Emigration to the South and Southwes

Emigration to the South and Southwest
has already commenced. Almost every day
persons pass through Emporia on their way
to the Verdigris, Walnut, or Whitewater
Sometimes they go in companies of ten or a
dozen, and again they go singly. They are
mostly young men who came into the Ter
ritory last fall and wintered in the towns on
the Missouri and Kanzas Rivers, and who
are striking OUT thus early to be in ad-
vance of the spring emigration, and be able
to get in a crop this season. The South
west will be rapidly filled up this spring, as
it is the main point Of attraction for emil
grants 10 Kanzas. In few weeks the new
emigrants will begiu to arrive with their
wagons and families. There is plenty of
room for all. h-- .--- --- .1s
