STATE ITEMS.

Four wagons passed through our town
yesterday, en- route for Pixies Peak. These
were the first Of the season.-Sentinel
Adrch 80.
We are informed by gentleman from the
Southern part of the State, that much rain
has fallen in that locality lately, suffcien
cy to insure a good crop this season.
Council Grove Press, March 80.
A large party of Council Grove Indians
on their way to visit "Fatber Abe" called
on our citizens last week. They are as dir.
ty and beggarly looking as ever. The red
men are getting so they camille to some pur-
pose, and will no doubt come the Yankee

Journal, 28th uA.
1t appears from letter written from To-
peka, that $50 bushels of seed wheat has
been sent to Emporia for Morris county, to
be distributed gratuitously among those
who need it. Mr.. S. NJ. Hays will pr oba-
blV be the person to whom the wheat will
be sent for distribution.-CO Council Grove
Press.
The Scientific and Historical Society OF
Kansas held their annual meeting at Miller
Hall, last Friday, the 22d inst, pursuant
to public notice. The attendance was not
large. no doubt owing to the general absorp-
ton of the people in the political excitement
of the times. In the evening, Judge
Thatcher delivered the Anniversary Address,
to an audience gcodly in number, and much
more than average in quality. 1t is need
less to say th%L the address was eloquent,
well written. we'll delivered, full of learning,
and pregnant with useful lessons.-Laa0-

Several families from the Whitewater

They were frightened away from their

FINE WooL-We have been furnished by
Mr.. Grips, of Wilmington, Shawnee. Co.,
some samples of wool taken at random from
his flock, of the finest quality We have seen
i'll the West. He has demonstrated the
profit of 'sool. growing over every branch OF
husbandry. During the past winter. he has
lost but one sheep out of flock of one hun
dred. The cost of wintering the whole flock
has not exceeded ten dollars, and yet they
are all in fai. condition A@number OF them
have shorn from fifteen to sixteen and half
pounds each, and will not fall far short OF
that at the coming spring shea'ing. The
whole flock averaged seven and a half pounds
each. Many of them are high-priced and
high blooded sheep. for which he has been
offered as high as two hundred dollars a
head. Mr. Grips has one. especially.
which he designs 10 pit against the West at
the first agricultural fair of the county OF

GOV. RoBINsoN,s MESSAGE.

The Message of Gov. Robinson to the
first Legislative Assembly of .he State of
Kansas, will be found in the columns of
this paper. 1t was delivered to both houses
Of the Legislature on Saturday last, the
3Oth ult. We have not room for extended
comment. The Message will be universally
read. and we believe will be generally ap-
proved. Its principal recommendations to
the Legislature are as follows:
That the State should not relinquish its
right to tax the lands of the United States
within its borders, without fair equivalent
in the shape of lands for railroad and other
purposes. and tie payment of all the Terri
torial Indebtedness, and also the payment
of the Claim Warrants:
That provision should be made by the
Legislature for selecting equivalent lands
for those portions of the school lands that
have been pre-empted:
That Common School fund be provided
by a sale of 3 portion of the school lands:
That provision be made concerning the
Jurisdiction of the State Courts and tie
transfer to them of business from the Ter
rtorial Courts:
That Codifying Commission be raised,
which shall sit between the present and the
regula: session, to revise the laws now in
force, removing all inconsistencies, and
making plain all doubtful portions:
That provision be made for funding the
legitimate Territorial debt, that the taxes al
ready levied may be appropriated for cur
rent State expenses:
That in the new arportionment about to
be made, the number of members of the
House of Representatives of the Legisla-
ture be reduced to forty-fve and that Of the
Senate to fifteen.
These recommendations are all good, and
we believe will be very fully Endorsed by
the Legislature and people.
Taken altogether. the Message is good
one-just what it ought to be coming from
the Governor of new and poor. but free
and enlightened State.

chairs, tables, inkstands, ETC., and fitting mp
the halls in very comfortable manner.
If they adjourn to meet again in October or
June. these things viii get destroyed by
being broken and scattered everywhere, and
they viii have to go to the expense of thou
sands Of dollars to have things put in or
der again. Besides, there is the item of ex-
ira mileage, which would be very consider
able for one hundred members. / think
the people could wait few months. as the
next Legislature would meet in January.
Topeka and vicinity was visited with a
very fine shower of rain on Saturday and
Tuesday nights. which has had the effect to
brighten things very much. both among the
citizens and the hundreds passing through
this place to and from Atchison.
The crowd is thinning out somewhat, and
after the election of Senator'S will Skinner
down." so that only the members will be
left, in which case Topeka will be awful

TOPEKA, Kansas. April 2. 1861.
1 wish it distinctly understood by the
readers of THE News. that do not in the
least approve of the filings" made at His
'Excellency Gov. Robinson, in the issue
of March 23i. While do not indorse Gov.
Robinson's course in all respects since he
began his career in Kansas, do not see
what is to be gained by thus attacking him.
while he is quietly and in an able manner
discharging his duties as Chief Executive of
the State, at Topeka. When he commits a
any reprehensible act, it will be time to
" slur " him in the public prints.

POPULATION OF WooDsoN CoUNrY.-In
the numerous published statistics Of the
population of Kansas, we have observed
that the number of inhabitants of Wood
son county is set down at II. This does
gross injustice to that county, and how
such a mistake could have occurred, is be-
yond our comprehension, for the census ia
ker of that county. Deputy Marshal Haugh-
waut, states that he gave to Marshal Colby
the proper returns, and that they showed
the number of inhabitants to be 1895.
The total population of the State, Tor
Territory. as it was at the time the census
was taken, Pixies Peak being included) is
put down at 143.643. By adding the num-
Der of inhabitants belonging to Woodson
county, it brings the total population of The
Territory up TO I45,05I.
Woodson county is one of the best coun-
ties in Southern Kansas-and tie best in
point of numbers, wealth, intelligence, &c,
south Of the Neosho river. It is bat due
to the people of that county that those pa
pers which have published the census re-
turns of the late Territory should notice
this error.-Neosho Valley Register.

Fort Sumter has not yet been evacuated !;
but there is scarcely doubt that il viii: be
in few days. On this point there seems
just now to be but one opinion. But be-
yond that all is doubt. Looking at the mat
ter from this standpoint, it seems that one
of two things must be done soon, to save
what is left Of the Government Either,
first, to raise the siege of Fort Pickens-by
An army of fifty thousand men. if need be
and thus make decisive trial of strength
between the Government aud the rebels !;
or, second, Immediately recognize the seced-
ing States as an independent nation. and
then go to work and patch up what is left
of the old machine, for our own use.
There is just as much peace in the
one course as the other, in our humble
Judgment. The idea that we can live along
eide slayeholding. fllibustering confeder-
acy in peace, seems to US ridiculous. They
will demand of US the return Of their fugi-
tive negroes-which of course we would not
do. They will demand the Indian Terri
tory, New Mexico and Arizona. as their
share of tue public domain, which OF course
they would have to take by force, if they
got it at all. They would lay tax upon
the navigation of the Mississippi. to which
the Northwest would never submit. There
would be the same struggle for the 'balance
of power that makes enemies OF all the
nations of Europe. and devastates the con-
tinent with SO many bloody wars. Mexico
would be the sssick man" of this continent,
over which the two coufederacies would
quarrel. The Southern Confederacy would
attempt to subjugate Mexico. and add 1t to
their slaveholding empire. The Northern
Confederacy would be Obliged. in order to
insure its own existence. to guarantee the
integrity of Mexico. Thus there would be
war continually, until one or the other was
DESTROYED, or until both became prey to
foreign influence.
Whatever the Administration does. it
+. should do quickly. Better anything. than
the uncertainty aud distruss which every
where pervades the public mind.

TRAINED BUrrALoEs-A NOVEL Sigh,

TRAINED BUFFALoEs--A NOVEL SIGHT.
Our citizens were somewhat taken by sur
prise yesterday to see tandem team of eley-
en- young buffaloes driven into town. They
were taken to Abney's livery stable, and
attracted a large crowd of persons, who
had a curiosity to see so rare creature as
tame buffalo.
The animals are from one to three years
old, and were brought from Ridgeway, in
Kansas, where they have been raised and
trained. They are the property of Mr.. Ea-
ton Stone-well known as an equestrian
performer and circus manager-and will be
leading feature of new travelling exhibit
ton that he is about getting up.
The buffaloes are by no means perfectly
docile, but are easily managed by those who
are accustomed to attend them. Each has
its own name, with which it seems to be en-
tirely familiar. Seen. Jackson the
youngest, answers 20 that title as readily as
dog responds to the call of his master
The animals are driven in sort of harness
made of rope. They are generlly managea-
BILE, but we are informed that they some-
times stampede" and when they do, it is
impossible to control them. There are
about half dozen keepers who have the
buffaloes in charge.
Mr.. Stone also has couple of antelopes
in his possession.-LeavenUorM Times, 3oth

To EMIGRA NTs.-Emigrauts, in their COW
cred wagons, will doubtless soon be wend-
ing their way along our thoroughfares. in
quest OF homes for themselves and families,
and we would direct their attentions to the
large and enticing tract OF land not long
since treated for by Government with the
Kaw Indians, and lying in Breckenridge and
Morris counties. This tract embraces
something over one hundred and seventy
FIVE thousand acres of as choice lands as
can be found in the West, which are now
subject to settlement. The lands have late
~ been surveyed by Government, and set
tiers are now beginning to locate on them.
Good claims can now be had near this place.
