nothing of intellectual defects and moral
oblIqHities, as only tobacco can produce ?
The injurious effects of tobacco arc not
always immediately present on It's first
use; a superficial observation may not
detect them for long years. The vital en-
ergy may keep on apparently uninjurcd :;

is the declaration Of the celebrated DR.
Coles of Boston? Besides being a more
filthy sin than drinking liquor says he.
" the use of tobacco in any form, to the

Tx Ozxsus.--We have at length re-
esived the census returns Of the Territory.
aathsFizea BY fhs last Legislature; and q
pretty JOB it Fis. too. Nearly every
County Is imperfect. and several are moi
reported at all By such demonstrating
e. this. Kansas would never be found to
contain sufficient population to become a
State, and weuld never be admitted
Imperfect % It Is, Il shows the population
Of ths Territory to be some 1000
With fair census. We have no doubt
che population would exceed 100000.
Let rs look ct some Of the omissions.
Doniphan County is set down at 5000.
The real population is at least 5000
Three of the most populous Townships
in the County, Washington, Marion and
Wayne. are omitted. The population of
lows Township is represented as less
than that Of Centre. Iowa is set down
Aseven 900, while the population is at
least 1900. The towns Of White Cloud,
Iowa Point and Highland, have popu-
lstiOn Of over 1900, to say nothing Of
ths thick country settlements. In Atchi-
son, the city;of Atchison, and the Town
Ship.in which It is situated, are omitted.
That knocks Of population of over
1000 moro. Thus, in the Counties Of
Doniphan and Atchison alone, the popu-
isficu is cut down some 1900, which
10 more than one half the actual popula-
ton. Leavenworth County is set down
At12,122, when the city alone has al.
uoststhat much. Kickapoo is omitted.
InaWysndotts County, the Township Of
Wyandotts sIone is given. Quindaro
10 left out. In Marshall County, but one
Township is reported, Marysville being
omitted. The Counties Of Clay. Dorm.
McGse, ossgs, Wilson. and Riley, are
not returned at all. The latter has a
population Of at least 5000.
Thus It viii be seen that fully one
third Of the population has not been re-
turned The question is. whose fault is
It? Did the present officers neglect to
take It. or to return it after it was takenf
Or have the omissions been the work Of
dsGigning persons, in order to underrats
orr population. and influence Congress
10 refuse rs admission as State?

Arrival from the Mines.
$4,000 IN DUST.

COLD wEATHER-MEING PROSPECTS,, sc
Last evening we had the pleasure of an
interview with Mr.. Coleman. Of the firm
of Lefsvsr Il Coleman. quartz miners
who Just arrived in this city from Jeffer'
son. having made the trip from Anraris
here in eight days. To him we are in
debted for copy Of the Rocky Noun
tain News, Of the 25th ult., forwarded tc
US by Monsieur P. Walton.
Mr.. Coleman informs rs that the Ell.
press brought in about 81 900 in dust
consigned to different parties. and Their,
was fully as much more in the hands o.
passengers.
The weather in the mines has been ex-
trsmely dry and cold-the Thermometer
for two days indicating thirty-two de.
grees below zero. During the month Of
January, however, the weather was much
milder and the mercury averaged about
ten degrees above zero.
The mines have been paying very well
during the Winter. considering the stats
of the weather. The g1lches have yield
cd q great deal better-than many antisi-
pated, while quartz mining was very
remunerative to those having machinery.
The weather on the plains was cold
and disagreesble. particularly on Platte
river. The snow in many places was
badly drifted. and it was with great diff
ficulty that the Express was enabled to
pass through it. In other respects the
travelling was good.
Mr.. Coleman has been engaged in
quartz mining. He informs Us that be is
interested in q machine that will crush
about one cord per day. It bof fifteen
horse power, but very badly constructed
for crushing quartz. He Is now on bis
way to Pittsburgh for the purpose Of hav.
ing 9 new mill constructed which will
crush FIVE cords Of rock every twenty
four hours. The quartz that he has been
crushing during the Winter has paid
from eighty to FIVE hundred dollars per
cord. It will average a yield Of one
hundred and fifty dollars per cord.
From the News We gather no items Of
interest. The miners anticipate . very
large emigration in the Spring. FurthsI
discoveries are being made of rich quartz,
but owing to the snow upon the ground,
gulches cannot be prospectsd- Health
of the miners Is geaerally good--&.

GoxE BAcK.-Surprise is expressed in
some quarters, OF the course Of Senator
Douglas, in crawling ct the feet Of the
Administration, and eating dirt to be ia
ken into full communion once more. 1t
is not at all surprising. A Democrat is
like an Indian-hard to make anything
else Of him. You may take an Indian.
and civilize and educate him, and be is
an Indian still, whenever opportunity Of
fers for him to show it. So with De-
mocrat. Nine cases out Of ten, when you
think one is weansd from the party, and
has become q free man, the first thing
you know, be is back in the mire again,
more hopelsssly than ever. He cannot
resist the nsme of Democracy, especially
if be has the least hsnkering after the
spoils Of Office. Douglas and his Illinois
puppets have gone back; Montgomery.
of Pennsylvania, has gone back; Davis,
Of Indiana, Riggs, of New Jersey. and
others, have gone back scores of scabs
in Kansas, after being kicked and cuffed
about by the Pro-Slavery Democracy,
have gone back ). and all Of them are
meaner Democrats than ever. The Re-
publicans have elected Forney Clerk oil
the House of Representatives-the upshot
will be, be will either come ont decided
Republican, or, before the middle of the
Summer. he will be abusing the Repub-
lican party harder than ever. It is said
that he has pledged his support to the
Republican candidate for President, and
his speech to seredading party had a
good ring to it, Blu! still we have our
misgiVings.

81 Hot-headed persons in some por-
tions of me Territory, are threatening, in
case Congress rejects Kansas, to set the
State Government in operation, under
the Wyandotts Constitution. with the
officers elected in December, in defiance
Of the General Government. A little
sober second thoaght will do no harm in
this case. Snch talk has been INDUCED
IN. before the present year. Kansas is
entitled to admission, and Congress will
psrpetrate an outrage if it rejects her;
but this thing Of State or Territory
setting up INDEPENDENTLY of the General
Government. in country like ours, is no
ordinary, matter; and should not be Sc
riOuSly contemplated in view of all the
wrongs which even Kansas has suffered.

WORDS WITH THE BARK oN.-We re.
greet that sons excitement has again arts.
en- regarding the Brown County annexa-
ton question; and we are by no mean,
well pleased that some oficious persons
have undertaken to misrepresent orr pa
per upon the strength of it. 1t is charg-
ed that we threatened or inimsted. last
Winter, that White Cloud was bound to
be annexed to Brown Caunty, and that
the County Seat would be taken from
Hiawatha. Now, we have files of the
Chief in our Office, and those who are
sufficiently interested to examine into the
matter, shall have free access to them.
But we opine that the skunks who have
made the charges, will not take the trou-
bic to investigate the truth of them. We
have only this to say: Any person who
asserts that we ever declared or intimated,
in our paper or out of it, anything that
a sensible man could construe into SEM
blance of what is above stated, is con.
sumnate liar. Those who have made
the charge, may take this as personal, for
it is intended for them. In the frs
place. we are personally not extremely
anxious for annexation to Brown County.
but favored it because large majority Of
our people desired it; and in the second
place. if we were in that County, and q
vote were to be taken on the County Seat
question, we should vote for Hiawatha.
