THE NEW SENATORS.

We had but time last week TO announce
the election of MessFs. Pomeroy and Lane az
the US. Senator's from Kansas. The election
OF the tirst-named gentleman surprised us
that OF General Lane We regarded as fors-
gone conelusion-as certain as thas a choice
should be made at all.
Neither OF these gentlemen were our 6rss
choice for Senator'S. But we know that q
majority OF the people of this county and OF
the Southwest desired the election of General
Lane. and that Mr.. Pomeroy has many and
warm friends in these parts who wished for
his success-though We believe majority
OF our people preferred Mr.. Parrot as tie
Senator from the north side.
AS in all elections, 30 in this-a great
many people are pleased. and great many
disappointed. We confess to being one OF
the disappointed, in the present case but
We are not disposed to quarrel, either with
the Fases or the Legislature.
Of one thing we feel assured, at least
that Messrs. Pomeroy and Lane are both
earnest Republicans, and win fairly repre-
ssnt the true Republican feeling and prin-
ciple Of the State. And this will 60 great
ways to modify any feeling of local disap-
pointment which the unlooked-for result
may have produced. We have regarded the
peculiar interests of Atchison, with which
Gen. Pomeroy is identified, as being to a
certain extent antagonistic with those of the
Neosho Valley, and for this reason desired
his defeat; but we shall have to be satisfied
with the public statement of the General,
made since his election, that as Senator he
should labor for the interests of the achole
people of Kansas, irrespective of locality.
If he shall prove true to this declaration, he
will receive as cordial cooperation and sup
port from us as from any source whatever.
A large majority of the old settlers OF
Kansas-the "Flfty -Sixers''- feel peculiar
regard for General Lane, which is shared
by almost all that portion Of our people who
came from Indiana, the native State of the
General. They all rejoice at his success
and we are not unwilling to confess that
there is much of poetic justice" in his &C.
lection as first Senator of the new Stats-he
having been the first Senator chosen under
the Topeka Constitution. Indeed, italmost
seems as if old Topeka days were revived.
with Robinson for Governor and Lane for
Senator. We opposed General Lane in his
aspirations for the Senate, on what we con-
ceived TO be grounds of public policy. He
has been successful-hs is one of the Sena-
tors Of our new State, of which we are SO
proud-to himself and Gen. Pomeroy are
committed great trusts for Kansas and the
Republican party-in such position we
cannot but wish both of them great success,
through frmness and faithfulness in we'll
doing.

There is report prevailing here that Mr..
Archibald Green. whom We reported some
time since as having been murdered By
Usage Indians, is still alive. 1t is said that
man who recently passed over the Usage
lands received information from some OF
the Osages that Mr.. G. was seriously wound
ed at the time Shaw was murdered, but did
not die; that the Indians took him under
their protection, dressed his wounds and
conveyed him to their homes, where he now
is. The story looks little shsky. but We

Col. Nedary. in his last Crisis. gives the
following facts, in relation to Kansas
There cannot well be finer sheep coun-
try anywhere, than central and southern
Kansas. From the best judgement We could
form, they increase in size and In fleece on
the rolling prairies of that country, and
very little protection or food is necessary
during the winter months. In the thickest
portions Of the settlements there is plenty
of open prairie pasture for any amount of
sheep.

WE KNEW TT WOULD RAIN.

We knew il would rain, for all the morn,
A spirit, on slender ropes Of mist,
Was lowering its golden buckets down
Into the vapOry amethyst
Of marshes and swamps and dismal fens-
ScOopins the dew that lay in the flowers,
Dipping the Jewels out of the sea,
To sprinkle them over the land in showers
The white of their leaves-the amber grain
Sbrunk in the wind-and the lightning now
Is tangled in tremulous skeins of rain
