Northern emigration, from Missouri, Iowa,
Illinois, Wisconsin or Michigan, either for CAL

a State Road from Des MOines, Iowa; and as
good roads through Missouri, by way of Savan-
nah and Oregon, to this place, as to any other
point on the river. There are good landings
on both sides Of the river; and on the Kansas
side, all streams and slOughs, to the Nemaha,
have free bridges, recently made for the Gov
eminent trains from this place tO-Salt Lake
and Utah. We can say to the California emf
grafton, that they can strike the old California
Road within II miles of this place. and they
will find good grazing for stock within half a
mile of the river, and plenty of wood and water
on the route to the Big Blue, only so miles from
here; and they will find this road over 40 miles
shorter than the road from ST. Joseph, and over
60 miles shorter than that from LeayenwOrth.
We refer persons to the map, in proof of this
statement; and we only ask emigrants and ira
velers to try this route, and we pledge our
selves to pass them over the river free, on their
return, if they are not satisfied Of the foregoing
facts.
White Cloud has three or four good stores

LARGE ORDERS FROM ENGLAND FOR
AMERICAN FIRE-AEMs.--The large quantity
OF firearms and gun-making machinery al
ready furnished to England from American
workshops proves to have been but the

We learn from Mr.. j. V. Hanehwout.

that orders were brought out bv the last
steamer from England for HE immediate con.
stiuctiOn of large quantities or machinery for
the manufacture of the most approved Ameri.
can firearms, and that tie same have been
put in hand for execution, both at Chcopcc
Mass, and other large works, offering the
needed facilities. The agents Of the British
government Tearing these orders also bring
large instalnent of sterling gold, and are
unrestricted as to the amount Of work to be
done. The American machinery already in
England is worked up to its fullest capacity,
turning out several thousand guns per month,
under the direction OF wolkmen from the
shops Of Chicopce.
The Journal refers to new rife cannon Just
invented at Chicopee, and successfully tested.
1t says:
