The junction City Sentinel, in an arti-
Gle on the gold region, alluding to the dis
couraging reports, etc, says:
"Under existing circumstances, we give
what we consider the best advice, when
we say, that all those persons at present
pro6tably employed, with comfortable
homes and making a comfortable Hveli-
hood, had better remain where they are,
pursuing the even tenor of their way,
thanking the Gods for all the blessings
vouchsafed. 1t is absolutely fool-hardy
and wicked to venture upon such an ex-
pedition without being fully prepared FOR
any emergency that may arise-plenty of
food, arms and ammunition, camp equip
age, &c, &c, for the journey is long and
mostly through an unsettled country !:
there are Indians upon the route whose
cupidity will be tempted, unless the emf
grant can display sufficient weapons for
defence. These Spring nights and Spring
winds arc cold, requiring ample covering
for protection.
These remarks are principally suggested
by the number Of footmeu who have
passed and are passing through our town,
packing upon their backs Incredible loads
Of provender and blankets, without arms
or any means Of defence. We are com.
PEELED to anticipate much suffering, and
earnestly impress upon those who are yet
in the settlements. TO outfit more proper
ly and thoroughly for the long and dan.

Good news for the Nsosho Valley.

We learn from one of the officers of
the Jefferson City and Neosho Valley
Railroad that the Missouri portion of the
same will be put under contract on or be-
fore the l5t Of May next. Work will
thus be progressing on the whole road
from Jefferson City to the State line, at
the same time. Sufficient land has been
given and stock taken to justify the
building Of the road to the State line,
and by the time it is completed to that
point, there will be no difficulty in get
ting il built to this place, either with or
without grant Of land. II Uncle Slm-
uel will not help us, we must help our
selves. The distance from this place to
the State line by the surveyed route, is
only ninety-fv miles, and it is prepos-
ferrous to suppose that tho enterprising
settlers will let it stop there long.
The people of this county are perhaps
more deeply interested in the success of
this road, than any oLher locality on the
line. This is noO the best agricultural
county in the Territory, aud is settled by
men who know the value of railroads,
and knowing, will have them. This
road, running as it does through the rich
est portions of Kansas, will always COM
maud an immense freight business. and
will be the outlet Of travel to the East,
for all Central and Southern Kansas. The
officers of this road, both in the Territory
and Missouri, deserve much credit for the
energy and perseverance they have dis
played in pushing on this work, in spite
of tho many obstacles they have had TO
encounter. While many of the Railroad
companies of theTerritory have spent theiI
time in writing windy resolutions, max.
ing buncombe speeches, and pipe-layins
this company has been at work, aud in
consequence, the j. c. and n. V. r. r
will be the first road built in Kansas

rep. SZd, 1909.
Ma. EDITOR "A gentleman by the
name of Wyatt, has just arrived in this
city, direct from Cherry Creek. He re-
ports very unfavorably of the mines, and
says that any person that can make fifty
cents per day here, had better remain
where he is. He has specimen Of gold
which he took from two pans of dirt, and
says it is the best yield he got during two
weeks prospecting, and there is not over
two cents worth Of the dust-valued at
ten cents in the mines.
No. Wyatt left Cherry Creek on the
18th of January, and says the weather
was very pleasant at that date. he ad-
vises all who are prepared, to go and see
for themselves, but has no notion of going
back himself. He says there is gold
there. but not in sufficient quantities to
pay the miner.
Mr.. Wyatt came in company with
several Others, and they had not been in
town half an hour before it was reported
that they bad left nine hundred dollars in
the bank, which is false. Yours, SC,

The ssers, History Of Kansas.

We cali the attention Of our subscribers
to an article on the first page Of our paper,
copied from the Herald of Freedom. II
contains certain important revelations.
showing the true object aud intentions Of
the Kansas agitators and conspirators.-
We have long been familiar with many
of the Startling facts it reveals, which
we long since published, as the readers of
our paper will remember. We are aware
that many persons have been slow to be-
lieve that SO Infamous conspiracy ever
existed in Kansas; the testimony is so
clear, and so conclusive on the subject, as
to leave no room for doubt. OF this fact,
the American people seem TO have be-
come convinced. IL is well known that
the Herali of Fiteiom is now and ever has
been u firm believer in the leading doc
trines, measures and isms of the Republi-
can organization, but refuses to defend or
countenance conspirators, thieves and
murderers, but on the contrary denounces
them. For this he is charged ly the ul-
ira disuniOnisrs of his party whom he de-
nounces, with having betrayed their cause.
One Of these conspiratOrs, named Wattles,
has recently taken occasionto caution the
Democracy, as to the possibility or rather
the danger Of that paper opening its bat
terry on the Democracy at any moment.
It is a malicious and useless Caution, as it
never yet has pursued any other course
than to warmly oppose the measures Of
the Democratic parry, and is at this time
doing all in its power to prevent the sue
cess Of the Democratic party in Kansas.
We do not fear fair, open and manly
opponent, nor have we any right to de-
nounce such man or such paper 1t is
true, however, that it is the only opposi-
tion paper in Kansas that has standing or
character su(li :lent to give the Demo-
cratic party any tangible opposition. No,
the real reason why the Herald is de-
nounced by the ultra men Of its party is,
because it has labored to secure the peace
of Kansas, which they say will promote
the interests Of the Democratic parry
This charge proves what we have ever as
serted, that the people of Kansas have
been plundered and murdered, for the
purpose of destroying the Democratic
party, and not for the purpose of defend
ing the cause Of freedom. The chief
glory and honor Of the Democratic party
consists in having ever contended for the
peace and prosperity of the people. The
present peaceable and quiet condition Of
Kansas is proving fatal to the plans and
hopes Of conspirators. We have certain
information in cur possession, in relation
to their present movement, which lead;
us to believe that they are preparing fol
another disturbance. It gives us no un.
easiness, as we know the means ant
power are at hand to crush any future
effort Of that kind at one fell swoop.-
