THE Po1TAwArToMIE TREATY RATIFIED.

The ratification of the Pottawattomie
Treaty by the Senate, is an act that will be
hailed with pleasure by the citizens Of the
Kansas Valley and Western Kansas. They
can see in this act disposition on the part
of Congress to recognize the advantages
Of the Kansas Valley as a railroad route,
with better prospect of its being designa-
ted as the great national highway to the
Pacific. A new impetus will be given to
every branch Of industry in this section by
the ratification of this treaty Our hereto
fore almost stagnant business will revive
with astonishing celerity, in the lively hope
engendered of the speedy completion Of a
railroad up the Kaw Valley. AS a safe and
profitable return may now be confidently
looked for from all investments, no man
will hesitate in laying out his money in
land or other property in Western Kansas.
By this Treaty, all of the Pottawattomie
lands, with the exception of 160 acres to
heads of families and 80 acres to those not
heads Of families, are ceded to the Leayen-
worth, Pawnee and Western r. R. Co.. at
s1.25 per acre. The Company engages to
complete a railroad to the western boundary
of the Pottawattomie Reserve within nine
years. That this road will be completed
long before the time allowed for its being
built, We have no doubt, as the company is
now possessed of valuable lands sufficient
to procure money from Eastern capitalists
for the building of the road, even if they
had not other means at their command.
The amount of land secured by the compa-
ny by this treaty, is about 100000 acres,
In addition to this, they are the possessors
of the Delaware Reserve, one of the finest
tracts of land in the State. Work will be
commenced on the road this month, and be
pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
Let every settler in Western Kansas
take heart; the business dependency that
has SO long hung over US owing to our re-
motencss from a market for our surplus
products, is about to pass away. Oar
superabundance of everything which our
rich and inexhaustiblc coil produces, will
find ready market, and prosperity will dot
our beautiful prairies with we'll cultivated
farms and thriving villages.

SECRETARY CAMERON ARRESTED.

From a somewhat confused telegraphic
report, We learn that Simon Cameron, ex-
Secretary Of War, has been arrested by
order of the President. The telegram only
gave to understand that such had been the
case, and at the instigation of Pierce Butler,
who was arrested by Cameron sometime ago
on charge Of treason, and since released.
We cannot imagine what it can be for
unless stealing, as that is the only fault
we know of his having, and that he posses
es in an eminent degree. If it is for this,
he has been served just right, and We hope
he may suffer to the fullest extent of the
law, as all other Government plunderers
should.
What a rebuke is this to the howlings of
the Democratic press of the country. For
months have We heard their rawlings about
the incarceration of Democrats and none
others, in dungeons and jails, and now We
have the President demonstrating to them
and the world that he knows no partyisms
in the administration of the Government.
Tho guilty must suffer alike in the melting
out of Justice. Let no more be said on this
score by the Democracy when the President
incarcerates one who has been among his
best friends, for some misdemeanor.

re Mr.. F. G. Adams, Secretary of the
State Agricultural Society, has received from
our Congressional Delegation quantity Of
seeds for distribution among the members
of the Society. This collection consists main
ly of garden seeds, and embraces some very
excellent and rare varieties, and if properly
cultivated, as they doubtless will be, will be
agreat improvement to our garden products.
Mr.. Adams deserves credit for his energy
and efficiency in promoting the !Agricultur-
alinterests Of the State, through the Agency
Of the Agricultural Society.
Through the kindness of Senator Pomeroy,
We learn that there has been sent one humid
red bushels of cotton seed to Mr.. +. G..
Adams, Secretary of the State Agricultural
Society, for free distribution. We cali the
attention of the farmers to this fact, that
now is the time for them to avail themselves
by procuring seeds without money and with
out price.

Another Terrible Storm.

Rev. G. w. Paddock, of the NJ. E.
Church, received letter from L. F. Wal
don, minister Of the NJ. E. Church at
Sumner, from which we make some extracts,
aud would say that we are acquainted with
the party and know him to be perfectly
reliable, and any one wishing to assist them
in their distress, can leave their contribu-
tions at this Office, to be turned over to
those authorized to receive them.
SUMNER, April II.
DEAR SIR: An awful storm passed over
our town on the night Of the 18th inst,
and destroyed some twenty houses and all
the goods Of many families, wounding sew
eral persons and killing three-mother,
daughter and son, in one family. Clothes,
furniture and everything were buried in the
ruins, and We were left to stand all night in
the inclement weather. This is very
severe as We had spent the last dollar in
money here. Could you get as . small
contribution from your citizens? Beds,
dishes, furniture, clothing, mattresses or
anything usefnl in q family, would be
gratefully received. All have suffered here
and there is no way of relieving them.
Yours, &c, LIZ. WALDoS.

COLONEL C. r. JENNISON.

We last week noticed the arrest Of Col.
Jennison by order of General Sturgis. He
is now in close confinement in St. Louis
A great deal Of sympathy is manifested for
him by the German citizens of St. Louis,
and public demonstration will be made by
them in bis honor. The Westlicher Post
pays him high compliment for his noble
bearing under the difficulties that surround
him. 1t says.
"The eight balls which the pro-slavery
ho,des have implanted in your body, in the
long fight you have made for Liberty, will
be your witnesses before the people and
history. With such testimony you need
not fear rebel public sentiment"
The charges against Jennison are grave
ones; nothing more or less than melting
his men to mutiny and insubordination.
1t is said that before his leaving the regi-
ment, he made speech to his soldiers ad-
visipg them to desert rather than 60 to
New Mexico under pro-slavery leaders
Much as we may admire the spirit that
prompts Jennison to an act like this, we
can consider the above, if it be true, as
nothing less than treason, and shall look to
see him punished accordingly.

The Way Lovejoy Puts It.

During the course of a rnnning discus
sion in the House of Representatives the
other day, Mr. Lovejoy said:
l have listened to good deal of abuse
from the other side. l have been called a
fanatic for twenty years or more. When a
person is hard pushed for argument, he
usually takes to abuse, therefore, l do not
mind it much. But want to notice one
thing which the member from Maryland
said. He said there are two classes equally
detestible in this couutry-the anti-slavery
men and the rebels. l have no doubt he
thinks so. l have heard the same senti-
ment uttered here and in the Senate. At
least have read it after it was uttered and
published. A petulant old man in the
other wing of the Capitol is uttering this
kind of sentiment all the while. He wants
to hang the Greelys and the Cheevers side
by side with secessioaists and rebels. If i:
we're not for the anti-slavery men of the
country, the soldiers who are risking and
laying down their lives, men whose sen,i-
ments are represented by the very individ-
uals whom that Senator says he wants to
hang-and l judge that this gentleman 5
Mr.. Chrisfeld's) sympathies are with him
neither the gentleman from Kentucky
(Mr. Mallory, nor the one from Maryland,
would have home to-day. The gentleman
could not 60 home and live in peace if it
had not been for these very anti-slavery
men, these fanatics, my neighbors, OF whom
we the other day buried forty in one grave,
every one of whom, fanatics as they were,
fought and lost their lives in defending
Kentucky, in defending the gentleman's
home while he was calling me fanatic.
We caused it We are the source of
this war equally with the rebels! Just
what wicked king of the olden time said
to the prophet who had foretold the judg-
ments that would come upon the land in
consequence Of the sins Of the reigning
family. The prophet met the king riding
in his carriage, lordly and pompous-a
high toned, chivalrous gentleman, pre-
sumo. The monarch looked out upon the
prophet as he walked along, and said, cart
thou he that sroubleth Israel ?" The
prophet turned, and pointing bis finger at
the crowned sinner, replied, 81 have not
troubled Israel, but thou and thy fathers
house, In that ye have forsaken the COM
mandants of the Lord, and thou hast
followed Baalem."
Sir, it is not I, but Slavery. There will
be no peace. there can be no peace, until
slavery is placed where the public mind
will rest in the assurance that it is in pro-
cess of ultimate extinction. cE-

FORT LEAyENw0RrH CORRESPONDENCE.

FoRr LEAyENwoRTH, April 26, 1862.
+ Editors Cnion-Your paper, containing
such Aattering notice Of Company Z,
Eighth Regiment, has been received, and
read with much pleasure by the Com,
pany. We will endeavor to do better all
the time, and con,in6e to merit your praise.
We arrived in Fort Leavenworth On the
18th. The weather was very bad coming
dovn-too much rain and mud. Captain
Trego's Company, II, of our regiment has
gone to Riley to relieve Company +, OF
the Sixth. l got a little acquainted with
the Company before they started. They
are the right sort of boys; you can bet
that traitors will keep quiet when Captain
Trego and bis boys are about. ,
The Inquirer continues to be printed
under the guns of Fort Leayenwortb, and
none of our military authorities seem to
consider it their business to stop it. l am
we'll convinced that it will stop suddenly
when the State is turned over to the civil
authorities. In view Of the incompetency
displayed BY the military authorities since
martial law was declared in this State,
would ask how long martial law is to last!
1t is reported here that the Eighth Regl-
ment will be disbanded. The regiment was
raised for Home Guards, and has not been
re.mustered. The men could accomplish
much good out of the army in suppressine
treason and jayhawking, but in the service
they accomplish nothing.
1 was much surprised in coming down
to hear the way many Of the teamsters We
met going to Fort Union talked about the
Government, such as, "The Lincoln Gov.
ernment," Damned Abolition Concern,
&c. A friend here assures me that quite
large portion of the teamsters hired at this
Fort this season are men who served under
Price last fall. He recognized some Of
them as ones who took the oath at Clinton,
and expresses himself thus: 81 would not
trust them further than I could throw a
bull by the tail"
The arrest of Colonel Jennison causes
considerable hard feeling among the Kansas
Volunteers with whom I have conversed,
The appointment Of Blunt as Brigadier
causes i'll feeling among the troops. They
had hoped to see Deitzler get it. Senator
Lane is held responsible for the appoint
ment; it has rather Uunted his popularity

SECRETARY WELLEs.-The following re-
tition is circulating in Boston and has re-
ccived number of signatures
'.To the President of the United States.
The undersigned citizens of Boston and vi
cinity, respectfully request that the present
Secretary Of the Navy, Hon. Gideon Welles,
be removed from Office, and that his place
be supplied by some man qualified, by ex-
ecutive capacity and by competent knowl-
edge of naval and civil affairs, to exercise
the proper forecast, vigilance and energy,
in preventing such disasters as may be
traced to the lack of these qualities in the
present incumbent, and in those subordin-
ates for whose fitness he was in the main
responsible"

F Hon. Theodore Freelingbuysen. of
New Jersey, died at his residence in New
Brunswick on Saturday. His name has
been long and honorably before the public.
He was elected U. S. Senator in 1929, Chan
celior of the University of New York in
lS43, was the nominee of the Wing party
for Vice President in 1S4i 1, and at the time
of his death was President of Rutgers Col
leee, New Brunswick, to which position he
was chosen in 1850. He was born in Som.
erset county, 1857, and was consequently
rs years of age.

b9- Robert L. Ream, Esq, of this city,
has been appointed by General Delahay
chief clerk in the Surveyor Generals Office
Of Kansas and Nebraska, lately made va
cant BY the death of Mr.. Van Zandt. Mr..
Ream held the same position under Survey
or Calhoun, when the Office was first created,
and, if we remember rightly, was much
misused by Calhoun. Justice has been
done by restoring him to his old position
and the appointment reflects credit upon
the head and heart of General Delahay.-

ington had no Southern troops. His force,
numbering about twenty thousand men,
consisted chiefly of New York. New Jersey,

Soldiers from the self.same region are now

which their Northern forefathers won on that
