LAWRENCE, May 25th, 1859.

LAWRENCE, may Zotn, 1905.
G. W. Brown, Eso.-SIR II find on
my return home from the southern part
of the Territory, that the Big Springs
County Convention of the 18th inst,
nominated me for delegate to the Con-
stitutional Convention, to be held at Wy
andott in July.
l know that appreciate the kindness
of the Convention, in thrusting this honor
upon me. Inasmuch as my peremptory
declension of any nomination before the
Convention was unheeded. 1 am forced
now to withdraw my voice from the con-
nection in which, by the extreme par
TALLY of my friends, it has been placed.
In doing this, 1 may be permitted to say,
that am influenced solely and exclu-
sively by private personal considerations.
II is rule that have adopted, which,
under every circumstance, shall be rigidly
adhered to, to accept Of no public trust,
at the sacrifice Of private advantage, and
therefore while it might not be altogether
pleasant 20 receive the popular disappro-
val in the position the Convention have
taken the liberty Of placing me, I should
regard it misfortune, should the popular
verdict be in my favor. Very truly,
your obt servant. f. s. LOWMAN.

Learn 10 Spell.

Bad spelling is discreditable. Every
young man ought to be master of his ma
tive tongue. He that will not learn to
spell the language that is on his tongue
and before bis eyes every hour, shows no
great aptitude for the higher duties Of an
intelligent man.
Bad spelling is therefore an unavoida-
BILE indication. It indicates laundering
mana man that cannot see with his
eyes open. Accordingly. we have known
the application of more than one young
man, made with great display of penman-
ship and parade of references, rejected
for its bad spelling.
Bad spelling is very conspicuous bad
indication. He who runs may read it,
A bright school boy, utterly incapable oil
sppreciating your stores of science, ari
and literature, can see your bad spelling
at glance and crow over it. You will
find it hard to inspire that boy with any
great respect for your aitainments.
Bad spelling is therefore a very MORT.
Tying and irconveLient defect. We have
known men, thrown into prominent posi-.
tons, so ashamed Of deficiency in thi:
respect that they never ventured to send

Tho SlandeRer

Every man, says the Pa. AgitatOr, pub
lished BY HUeH You've, Esq, has tin his
power to injure or extend the influence Of
his fellow men. This power is never
latent or inactive. bu. is constantly exerted
either for or against the we'll being OF
society; and that man who snaps the
social and moral character Of any person
is more dangerous to peaceful commu-
nifty than the midnight incendiary or the
highway robber. When we behold the
smouldering ruins of stately mansion, a
just indignation against the author of that
ruin pervades our minds and when we
meet the victim of the highwayman, we
sympathize with the unfortunate one, and
invoke the strong arm of the civil law to
redress that wrong; but when the SIAN
derer emits the moral efiuvia of death
we open our minds to its subtle influence
until it permeates our entire being, and its
woful cry is heard from every avenue OF
society. No weapons of defence, no
night guard however vigilant can secure
US against the merciless assault of the
slaDderer. He works in secret. In hours
of darkness and solitude the deep-laid
plot is perfected; and "while men slept
this arch enemy sowed the "tares" Of
discord in the very heart of society,"
The slanderer ever has his weapons ready
for an attack; and it makes no difference
however trifling the real or supposed Of.
fence may have been, ruined reputation
is the only sacrifice that can atone for the
wrong. No position in society, no con-
dition in life lie security against the bitter
invectives of the slanderer. His insa.
tiate ambition invades with hostile feet
the editors sanetum, and desecrates tn,
sacred desk with its polluting tread as il
feasts upon the character of the minister
of the Cross. And notwithstanding the
audacity of this monster, Islander, it is MOI
only permitted to roam abroad unmolesteC
but its friendship is also courted and it,
aid invoked on many occasions. Wber
will society awake to its true interest anC
teach the slanderer by well-timed justic'
that he who feasts upon the ruin Of life'
noblest virtues will himself be expelled
from virtuous society Then and no
until then will SANDER cease in our midst

G. w. BRows, Eso.-DEAR SIR IL
returned home from your city on yes
terday, after enduring much privation on
the road on account of the storm, and
found Manhattan presented very differ

left.
learn from Albert A. Griffen, ESQ.,,
that the storm was perfect tornado and
swept over one hundred yards of Terri
tory and met from the south west and
northwest Seven houses were COM
pletely demolished. and FIVE seriously
damaged. The houses were lifted from
the ground and dashed to pieces, and
taken from twenty to one hundred feet
from their foundations.
No lives were lost, but FIVE persons
were seriously injured. to wit: Samuel G.
Hoyt, VIM. l. Bassett, (Sheriff of Riley
county, John Harvey, George F. and
Mrs. Sarah Brown aud Mr.. Browns
mother. 1t was supposed at one time,
that Mrs. Brown was fatally injured, but
hopes are now entertained Of her re-
covery.
Mrs. Brown was formerly Mrs Sarah
Pipher, daughter of John Pipher, Esq,
justice of the peace, postmaster aud mer-
chant in this place, and was but recently
married.
The destru ction of the property here
will fall heavily upon some of our good
citizens, and seriously regret that l have
not time to give you the particulars to-

E.S. BOWMAN, Eso-DEAR SIR Il ar
rived here few days ago, and after hav-
ing visited all the other towns in this
portion of Kansas, must say that in my
opinion this has the finest site and the
best prospects for large town, of any Of
them. 1t is situated at the mouth Of
the canon leading into the South Park,
about FIVE miles from the base of Pixies
Peak, at the terminus of the Smoky Hill
route, and on the best and safest road
from the Arkansas to Cherry Creea, as
by this road the divide is but about four
miles wide, while by Jim's Camp it is
more than fifty. l saw some gentlemen
to- day who had just returned from q
tour in the Park. They showed me a
specimen of shot gold they brought out
with them. They say that they made
FIVE cents to the pan from the surface
down, and had not got to the bed rock
yet, but had sunk one hole ten feet deep.
| They say the weather is so cold in the
mountains now that they cannot work,
but are going to return after they put up
some buildings here. There are large
number Of persons about to build here, l
understand, and should not be surprised
to see this place soon outstrip Auraria
and Denver. Large numbers of persons
are leaving Auraria and coming over here
for the purpose of erecting buildings, be-
lieving that this place is bound to be the
metropolis of this country. l am told
that all of the buildings are to be of a
good class, being constructed either oil
boards or hewn logs, and none of them to
be less than eighteen by twenty in the

The topics discussed are the phenome-

In reference to the Microscope, Prof.

"0f all the instruments which have
been brought into the field of scientific
investigation, there is not one which has
been more largely or more rapidly produc-
tive of most valuable results than the
microscope. There is scarcely region Of

has not fixed its clear, far searching eye

Nh. EDIToR:-I am happy to announce
to the friends of Education in Lawrence
and elsewhere, that from intelligence
received, Rev. DR.. Van Rensselaer, and
others are now on their way to this place,
and are daily expected. These gentle
men were unanimously invited by the
Board of Trustees of Lawrence Uni
versity, to visit this city and Territory,
with view of perfecting and completing
the plans initiated by the Board, and in
cooperation with the people here, to
build up an Institution which shall be an
honor to the country. 1t is generally
known that considerable means have been
already obtained for this enterprise. The
pecuniary prospects of the Institution are
far better than usual for new undertak-
ing in new country. The friends Of the
University entertain no doubt Of its success.
Operations have been temporarily sus-
pended until the arrival of these gentle
men, .he Board unanimously agreeing to
do so, the object being to place the lnsti-
tuition upon wider and frmer foundations.
That we need such an Institution as has
been projected, there can be no doubt
among intelligent men. Men Of influence
and learning in the East, are in sympa-
thy with US. Let there be union and CO.
operation among ourselves, in this great
work, and the University will stand q
monument of the energy and intelligence
of this generation and unborn millions
will rise up and call us blessed.
