From Kansas.

Mr.. A. johnson, of Boonville, called on US
yesterday, on his return home from Kansas
He informs us that business in that Terrific
~ is Frightening up considerably, and the
people are quite animated and energetic.
st. Joseph, Mo-, seems inspired with ne"
life buildings of every description are be-
ing erected, and improvements of all kinds
making rapid advancement. A new hotel
has just been completed in that cfty, at cost
of $4,000, and another, which will cost
when finished, from $4,000 to $4,000,
is almost ready for occupation. The hotel
enterprise OF the citizens Of that city, whose
population is about equal to that Of our own,
should shame US TO energetic action in the
building of one that would be credit TO
our CITY.
While in Leavenworth city, Dir. Johnson
met with Col. Ford, formerly of Kickapoo,
WHO had just returned from the Pixies Peak
gold regions. He brought with him a vari-
ETY. of specimens of gold dust and silver ore,
The sight of which greatly excited public
attention, and will, no doubt, induce a great
er emigration to the mines than ever An the
Spring. Col. Ford, himself, intends re-
turning, and taking with him machinery
for breaking the rock in which greet deal
of the precious metal is enclosed The gold
excitement win speedily build ups new and
populous State in the Pixies Peak region,
and we may soon look for broad belt of
civilization extending across the entire con-
tinent. The discovery of gold in those
"Western wilds will occasion their settle
ment years in advance of the ordinary
march of improvement.
The railroad from st. Joseph 70 Atchison
was nearly completed when Mr.. johnson
left the Territory, and he thinks the cars
will be running between those points in
three or four weeks at farthest. The opening
of this road has given new impetus to BUSH
ness in both of those cities and will, by
its influence, add largely to their popula-
ton.

l-a- CHINESE TREATY.-A correspondent of
the New York Tribune writing from Cam
ton, says it is rumored in that city no great
advantage will accrue to our government
from the ratification of the treaty taken out
by Minister Ward, after all. The stipula-'
tons of the treaty are few, and it seems all
hope of prospective advantages to be de-
rived from it are based upon clause secur-
ing the privileges accorded TO the most ia
vored nation. This is likely to prove bar
rem advantage, iuasmuch as the g most ia
vored nations are not enjoying the rights
desired by our merchants, who are inform
ed by the wary children of the sun, that
they may share in the privileges granted TO
the Favored nations SO soon as they enter
upon their enjoyment. The consequence is,
the new ports remain closed as before, and
it is plain to be seen we will have to wait
until these ports are forced open by the
united power of France and England.
g John Oh inaman has evidently outwitted
brother Jonathan in the formation of this
treaty. q rTta.E .a ..AE-.

that his City Gallery will be open for visi-
tors, and of course many will embrace this
opportunity of paying him visit, and view

in the beautiful new specimens that adorn
his gallery, and all who do so, will feel a
new desire to give thanks that our city pos

though mischief was often threatened by
some ill-conditioned people, of whom
Charlestown has its share, and from whom
believe New York and Philadelphia are
notsaltogether free, l will add that some of
the very citizens whose relations were killed
at Harper's Ferry, had sternly put down the
very threat of it, by declaring that no out
rage should be done to Us or any strangers,
but over their own dead bodies. w II

great indignation was felt at Charlestown

publish the following letter, in justice tothe
citizens of Charlestown - fs ..s-sl,.... Z. -
Some one, apparently moved by spite
against the people of Chariestown, Va, is
circulating report that they advised Capt
Browns counsel TO leave the place. Now,
if had no gratitude for real services rem
dered to me during the late exciting trials,
common honesty would impel me to contra
dict that report, because / know it is not
true. The facts are these:
The people of Jefferson county are very
much excited, and for the best of reasons.
Three large fires, the last one consuming
over twelve hundred bushels of wheat, had
occurred up to last Saturday morning. Va
der these circumstances a meeting was held
and very CAREFUL y-worded proclamation
was drawn up and published by Mr.. Green,
the mayor, warning strangers giving no
satisfactory account of themselves to leave
the place. AS L had important and we'll
understood business in the place and could
have given satisfactory account even if
had been on a visit of mere curiosity, felt
sure it did not concern me, particularly as
no steps had been taken to call my attention
to it. Other strangers, however, who could
have accounted for themselves as well as /,

with the remark that it did not concern me
at all, when Col. Davis remarked that he
did not know that he could answer for my
personal safety if l staid.
To this l replied, very civilly, however,
that my personal safety was my personal
business, not his, and that I should not

S The Enquirer, of Monday afternoon,
devotes a column and half to what it
terms a chastisement of Mr.. Bates. 1t is
evident, however, that the gentleman from
Missouri is but used as a scapa-goat for an
other offender who is dashed as unmerciful-
ly as the authors ability permits him to lay
it on-at least in the covert manner chosen.
The main object of the assault on Mr.. Bates
is contained, we think, in the following
paragraph, seemingly incidentlyIthrown into
the article:
Unanimity is the very soul of action
Weak points must be strengthened with care
and without delay. All the outposts must
be strictly guarded, and trusty sentinels
posted on the watch towers, who shall
watch with jealous care the movements of
the enemy. In the meantime, the choice of
a standard-bearer is of the first Importance.
Shall zoe choose disorganizer as such P
The more bold and dexterous the incendia-
ry, the more be is to be dreaded. A coun-
terfeit of exquisite execution, though emf
nentIy qualified to deceive, is, nevertheless,
q counterfeit.
The italicised sentenceis the Enquirer
Now, we are curious to know who it is that
is destroying the unanimity of the Demo
cratic party? Who is it aspiring TO be a
standard bearer that is a g disorganiser 2"
Is it Mr. Buchanan, or is il Mr.. Douglas
A little explicitness on this point would be
very acceptable. People generally regard
Joshua Giddings more implicated i'll the
Harper's Ferry difficulty from what old
Brown refused to say concerning him, than
& for what be made known- So we would
say to the editor, u worse construction may
be placed upon your italicised line than
you really intended. Having 'chaStised
Mr.. Bates, do let ns' know ii there are any
aspiring disorganizers in the Democratic
ranks, and who they are, that we may help
