WASHINGTON, Dec. %, '5S.
DIAN SR III am in receipt of your
letter Of the 18Th inst. and have onlv Tim.
to night to say that ! am waiting for vonr
peopIct to speak out on the subject of an.
nexation, and as soon as / receive their
orders, VIII introduce bill and press II
the delegate from Kansas is co.opera-
with me, and l believe we can pass the
bill before Congress adjOurns.
I An esteemed correspondent, at your
place, informs me that the enemies Of the
proposition hold up a large Territorial
debt, before the eyes Of your peopls-tbis
is not true. Gov. Denver informs me
that the debt now owed by Kansas isvery
small-probably less than owed by Ne
braska. The taxes now levied, and being
collected. will pny them out Of deSt. I
have no personal or political interest in
the question; | never expect to be can
diiate again; nor do expect to reside
in Kansas. / do believe, however, to add
South Platte to Kansas, and curtail her
western boundary, that It will make an
empire without a rival on the western
continent. Among all our rich States,
Kansas would then be the richest in nat.
ural resources. South Platte is rich, fer
tile and healthy and without desiring to
do North Platte any injustice. must say
that that frontier is far from being eqnal
to the South. Your frontier OF the Ter
ritory is cut off from the Northern from
tier by an almost impossible barrier ;
your interest is not the same, and YOU
will always be clogged while you remain
part of the same Territory. Nebraska
North Of Platte is large enough for sew
eral States and with the South Platte
taken of. would be pretty much alike
al rather poor territory, but no diversity
of intereSt-with annexation you come
into the Union at once, with land aowry
sufficient to build your school houses, col
legeS and necessary railroads--in word,
South Platte if annexed will be richer in
wealth and population in FIVE years. than
she will in fifteen years if she remains a
part of Nebraska.
As | have sail before. it is none of my
business. and | will act or not act in the
premises as | believe a majority Of your
people desire.

Quite PRoEABLE.-Two enormous gold
stories have recently been started on the
rounds. One is to the effect, that cou-
pie of Majors e. Russell's men, while
hunting their cattle, in the vicinity OF
Ash Hollow, came to a small lake, where
they picked up some 800 worth of gold
in an hour or two, and then fastened on
to Leavenworth, where they exhibited it.
The other story is set aaoat by one Hart
man, who communicates it to the Leav-
enworth Herald He says that he dug
% days, in which time he took ont
$4,000, aud then left for Leavenworth
but that the vein upon which he worked,
showed no signs of being exhausted.
Now, thousands of persons will swallow
both of of these stories, yet they are no
doubt both as great lies as have lately
been inyented. The very nature of these
stories gives them the lie. 1t is very
probable-lt is human nature-that ii
persons should find place where they
could pick up the gold in Jumps, and
could gather nearly 800 in a few min
utes, they would leave, without farther
search, merely to take care of few oxen,
and to tell of their discovery and show
their gold. And it is equally probable.
that q man who had found n vein where
he could dig out upwards of 800 per
day, without seeming TO exhaust the sup
ply, would quit, after digging $4,000.
and venture over the Plains in mid-win-
ter, to publish his wonderful luck to the
world. This is OVERRIDING the thing. and
will only have the effect to keep men Of
sense at home.

EXCITEMENT AT LEAvESwoRTH.-Lea-
wentworth has been the scene OF intense
excitement, within a short time past, all
about niggers. a cOlored barber OF that
CITY, named Charley Fisher, was arrested
upon charge of being fugitive slave
from kentucky. He was taken to Mis-
sOuri. but escaped. and swan the river,
through floating ice. Hewas taken again,
and lodged in jail. to await an examina,
ton bat he was rescued, and assisted in
escaping.
The Pro- Slaveryites held terrific
pow WOW over the affair, and termed it
ar indignation meeting of citizens of
heavenworth. They appointed an agent
to visit the Missouri Legislature, and
crawl upon his belly to that august as
semb!age, and tell them that it was not
they 1.-THE pow wowers) who did the dirt. ,
We believe they neglected. to authorize
the agent to kiss the big toe of the Gov
ernor Of Missouri for them.
A majority of the Resolutions Of this
meeting were devoted to the Leavenworth
Times and its editor, whom they blamed
for the whole affair. They resolved to
withdraw their countenance and support
from the paper, and some even proposed
to drive the editor ont Of the city. Bnt
the crowd wisely declined to act upon the
latter proposition. Poor souls 1tseems
that they have not yet lived long enough
to learn that they have taken the proper
course to make the Times popular. Such
a move as theirs will bring that paper
three times as much patronage as they
withdraw from it. We do not much
fancy the idea of running off niggers ;
but the practice will never be stopped by
such means as were adopted at the Leav-
enworth pow-wow.
When this excitement was at its height.
another incident occurred, to add fresh
fuel to the fame. Some thirteen negroes
had been stolen from Missouri. and were
pursued-by persons from that State. The
negroes were caught, and taken back to
Missouri and Dr. boy and his son,
together with another man, who had been
assisting the negroes off, were captured
taken to Missouri, and lodged in the jail
at Platte City. Attempts have been made
to have them liberated, but without sue
cess. They will probably have a hard
road TO travel. ....
1t may be all right to assist negroes in
escaping out of Kansas, or to rescue them
when kidnapped here; but when men &c
into Missouri and steal negroes. they arc
carrying the fun too far.
