- 80 ~ a. Trip up the Ne0shOss a1Tos
I'VE paid our first visit to- Council Grove
last. Tuesday No journey 6f twenty five
miles presents more lovely features. of at
Effectiveness. to q Kansap than over this
route. Had a soft June breeze played about
our face instead of cold December wind,
the scene would have doubtless presented a
more enchanting aspect. We passed through
Fremopt-iying quiet and unobtrusiye as its
namesake-thshce TOT Anaericus, where we
took dinner at the house of our popular
friend Hill THERE'S something going on
in Americas every pleasant day--7-what, can
not be said of. every Kansas town. The
same general features of The country are
preserved alllthef way up, except that the
bluffs become higher, and approach nearer
the river.
Council Grove is very prettily situated
on the west side of the Neosho, upon a
tbree-cornered elevation comprising two or
three hundred acres. The town is nearly
all upon one street, and therefore makes a
very creditable appearance. The buildings,
too. are mostly good. NJ. Conn has the
largest and finest stone store-room we have
seen in Southern Kansas, which is well
filed with goods, They have fine stone
sidewalks in front of the stores in Council
Grove, use coal-stoves, and appear cityfied
in some other things. But the attraction OF
the town is the new hotel, the Gilkey House,
which is to open with a grand ball and sup
per on the night of the 26th instant. We
put up with Mr.. Gilkey, at his old quarters,
and found him courteous, liberal hearted
and agreeable gentleman to the fullest extent
such an one as ''can keep hotel" !,
The people at the Grove are considerably
excited in regard to the recent murders com
mitted by the Indians on the plains, and
have organized volunteer company, called
the Morris County Frontier Rifle Guards,
who, under the command of II. j. Espy,
will henceforth be in readiness to- avenge
any further acts of cruelty committed by the
savages on our borders. Mr.. Conn, who
arrived from Pawnee Fork on the day we
left, reported. that another man. by the name
of A. L. Scribner, on Little Arkansas. had
been missing since the 9th, and it was
supposed that he had been murdered by the
Kaws, who were camped in that vicinity.

An American relates, that after leav-
ing paper of which he was the editor, and
returning on visit, he wrote leader for
the new editor, and he really thought it
'good-better than he had written for
months. Next day he met an old acquaint-
ance with paper in his hand. sAh, -
said he, ':this paper is but a miserable thing
now-nothing like what it was when you
had it''-and pointing to the article he had
written, he continued-"Look, for instance,
at that thing who would read such trashy
stuff as that Why didn't the fool let you

John Brown.

On Friday, the Cd of the present month,
at the town of Charlestown, Virginia.
JOHN Brown was hanged by the neck until
he was dead, dead He had been adjudged
guilty of instruction treason, and murder,
the circumstances of which are well known
to all of our readers. It is not our purpose
to speak in palliaticn of the acts which cost
Brown his life. They were unwaranted,
uniustifable and criminal Nor of his tri-
al, though it was a mockery and an out
rage upon justice. Those are "trif1es light
rs air. and need not to be dwelt upon
They are lost in comparison with another
and greater. outrage WHICH John Brown
was hanged for attempting to destroy.
Thinking Christian men and patriots will
look beyond the enaeute at Harper's Ferry, the
frenzy of excitement and execration which
it occasioned, and the execution at Charles
town which so speedily followed it, to the
primary cause of it all, as well as of other
instructions and murders. And in this
connection they will not forget the recent
and bloody pages of Kansas history. But
slavery did not commence its career in Kan
sas.. Its bloody deeds cover the pages of
the history of this country for more than a
century. 1t has caused more bloodshed
and crime of every hue than all the other
guilty passions of men combined. 1t has
been the only bar to the safety and perma-
nenoy of the Republic. 1t is an institution
of fraud and violence against the most sa-
cred rights of humanity, and the Bible tells
us that "they who take the sword shall per-
ish by the sword s.s..a
John Brown expiated his offense on the
gallows and death has been the punishment
meted out to all those who have ever raised
sheir hands against Slavery were il
to free themselves and their children. The
death of slavery would scarce atone for the
crimes it has committed, and is daily COM
hitting for the purpose of perpetuating itself
Slavery has established a practical despo-
tism in one-haf of this Republic, and con-
trolls every department of the National Gov
eminent. # .f
If there had been no human slavery in
America, there had been no rebellion at
Richmond, none at Southampton, no civil
war in Kansas, no raid at Harper's Ferry,
no hanging at, Charlestown on Friday.
Whatever John Browns crime may have
been, he, will go into the presence of his
Maker white as snow, and innocent as a
babe unborn, compared with the hid:ous,
and crime blacksped institution which be

Prospects of the Crops.

The wheat crop in Page was never more
promising. Corn is looking quite finely at
present. Some of the farmers complain OF
the birds destroying the grain after being
planted.
Some complaints come from different parts
of Orange county of ravages in the wheat
fields by the Joint worm and the fly. As
the crops, in spite of these representations,
are looking finely, we trust the injury from
this source will not be so great as apprehen-
ded.
The Petersburg Express says:-"We have
before us a sample of beautiful white wheat,
perfectly matured, from the fine farm OF
Wm. Gee, esq, in Prince George county
This is the first ripe crop OF the season, and
for this latitude is very unusual, if not un.
precedented. The heads are plump and rich
with grain, and form quite as fine a quality
of white wheat as generally finds its way
into the market"
The fredericksburg Recorder says:-"The
wheat crop in Stafford and Spotsylvania, for
the most part, looks very promising. If
nothing happens between now and harvest
our farmers will make largely over an aver,
age crop. There is some complaining we
know, but this is usually the case, no matter
how promising the crops may be-"

Great Britain.

All the London papers give crcdcnce to 4
report that Lord Palmerston and Lord John
Russell had come To Il general agreement OH
the subject of parliamentary reform and
foreign policy; and they predict as Il natural
consequence that the Derby government will
becompelled to resign soon after the rc-asscm'
bling of Parliament.
The Admiralty had formally invited tend
ers for Il monthly mail service, each way, be-
tween Great Britain and Australia RIA Pa
mama. The contract is to be for seven years.
The maximum time for performing the service
to or from Melbourne is to be titty-tivc days,
exclusive of the transit across the lSthmus;
but proposals embracing Il shorter time viii
receive favorable consideration. a premium
of ESQ will be given for every day less than
the contract period.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Post learns that arrangements had been made
by the French and Sandman governments
to transfer to Greek and other foreign vessels
coal and other war material ordered IN Eng
land, and which would have been carried by
British vessels but for the late neutrality pro-
clamatiOn.
A National Rifle Club Association was
said to be in course of formation, with Il pro-
posed capital of 100000, 10 facilitate the
arrangement of the various local clubs with
regard to the purchase Of arms.
The London Times in an editorial on the
affairs Of Mexico, gives the decided opinion
that the sympathies of England are due t" the
same party which has secured the friendship
of the United States, and says it makes the
avowal with more emphasis because it's cor
respondcnce apparently intimates that the
British representatives have inclined to the
opposite side. 1t regards with great s~atistac-
ton the alleged proceedings Of the Americans.
Kossuth had addressed another large meet
ing, in favor of the neutrality Of England, at
Manchester. lie intimated that he should
probably soon be in his native country. 1t
was reported that he lkossuthj was the pre-
sident of a Hungarian committee Just estab-
lished at Genoa-the object of the committee
being to encourage desertion from the Aus
trian ranks.

Cumberland Coal and Iron Company.

The annual meeting of the Cumberland
Coal and Iron Company, whose lands are IN
Allrgany county, Nd, was held on Monday,
ut the office of the company in New York
city. Ar election was held for officers,
when 81. $50 votes were east, and the follow

4 report was read to the meeting, from
which we gather that the sales OF coal Tor
the eight months ending LIST January were
6O.G4l tons, but even this small amount
yielded profit enough to pay all expenses
and interest, and leave a small surplus. As
a reason that 50 small an amount OF coal
was sold, it is stated that the company had
