To Prevent Smut in Wheat.

We have been favored by gentleman in
this vicinity, with the following extract
from the Patent Office Report for 1855.
Let our farmers give it trial:
"FoR NEW WHEAT.-Sulphate of cop
per (blue stone or blue vitrioD, one and
half pounds, dissolved in two gallons of hot
water, which is sufficient to prepare eight
bushels, the liquid being allowed to cool
before sprinkling it on the wheat. There
is little risk of injuring the seed by an
overdose, as half pound Of blue stone has
been applied to bushel without injury to
the seed. Old wheat can also be picked
with perfect safety with blue stone. The
quantity of blue stone for old, dry wheat
need never exceed one and half ponnds
to each eight bushels, but two and half
or three gallons of water are necessary for
saturating the seed.
The mode Of picking wheat With blue
stone is exceedingly simple. Dissolve the
blue stone in hot water in the proportions
before stated; then spread out the wheat
about six inches thick, on q stone floor,
sprinkle the pickle equally over it, and mix
thoroughly with shovels until the wheat has
acquired uniform degree Of dampness.
1t will be ready for sowing in the course of
two or three hours. It is better to have
the picking done day before sowing.
" Many farmers pickle the whole Of their
seed wheat at once, and let it lie for years
before sowing, not only without injury, but
with evident advantage the blue stone
thus appearing to possess the power of de-
Tending the germ against atmospheric
influences, while at the same time, rats and
mice will not touch wheat so picked, un-
less greatly pinched for food. D. j. B."

General James II. Lane.

We have had frequent occasion to refer
to the contemplated expedition to move
south from this State, at the head of which
we earnestly hoped would be placed our
own Jim Lane. But from present indica-

On the Goth inst, General Lane informed
the Legislature that he could make no
arrangement with General Hunter to COM
mand the Expedition-tbat through no
fault of his own had he been thwarted in
this the cherished hope of his life-aud
that he should return to the United States
Senate. Here ends, we fear, the much
talked Of Southwestern Expedition, and
with it the wishes Of Kansas, aye, of the
Nation, have been disregarded, merely to
accommodate "rcd tape prcedents"

and denounced their leaders in the bitterest
terms. Misled BY politicians at FIRST. and be.
trayed BY Generals, they have become mos,

once. Many Of these same men were
imbued with the idea that allegiance to
their respective States was paramount to
that of the General Government, and where
their State government Led there they was
bound to follow. Seeing now the fallacy Of
this political doctrine. and that its conse-
quences are anarchy and desolation, they
are ready to renounce it and return to their
homes, acknowledging the Constitution as
the supreme law of the land.
When it is found that this is not an
Abolition war-not war to trample upon
or annul the rights of Southern citizens,
but one topreserve the rich legacy bequeath-
ed to US by our forefathers, to preserve and
keep inviolate those principles which are a
terror to despots and beacon-light to the
down-trodden and oppressed-to uphold the
liberty earned by the long suffering aud
bloodshed of the Revolution, and render
America what it has been, an asylum for the
refugees from the tyranny of kings, then
will the people of the South rally around
the old flag, with renewed assurances of
the blessings of the Federal Govern
ment; and our country, purified and
cleansed, as the gold by fire, will stand
brighter and more glorious among the
nations, taking the lead in the worlds pro-
gress, and spreading its protecting arms
over the oppressed of all the earth.

HOW OUR SUCCESSES ARE 1EcENED-EAGER Fol
TIE rRxY-LASE's EXPEDITION DECLINES
CAPTAIN N'cLuRI-DEYEXcEs-0UR AIPRIsEN
TATlvE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II, 1862.
The news of our successes over the rebel!
is truly exhilerating, to those particularly
residing at the Capital of the Nation. The
wisdom of the plans of the Commander
IN Chief is now fully conceded. While the
great army of the rebels is kept at bay on
the Potomac, the Union forces are gaining
fresh victories in every other quarter by
land and sea. Everywhere the patriotic
heart throbs that this great nation is to be,
as it has been, one and indivisible. Consti-
tutional liberty on this Continent, under
going the severest ordeal, must and will be
sustained, and traitors be brought to feel
and respect its power while endeavoring to
destroy i. by their most unhallowed efforts.
Peace reigns bere-and no one from
appearances, would think that several hun.
dred thousand soldiers were within half a
days ride of the Capital, ready at an hours
warning, to engage in the deadly conflict
which is 70 decide the destinies of this
great Republic. Almost the projection Of
military discipline has been established by
General Mcclellan, and We may count on
this as one of the assurances that no future
panics will disgrace our arms. Our men
are rcady-impatient for the fray. "Let
it come," they say, "and we will wipe out
the stigma of Bull Run"
General Lanes Expedition, so called,
excited all with the livliest expectations
that with such command and force as
would be accorded him, he would be able
to march to the Gulf, raising the old flag
wherever he went as the signal Of victory
and Union. No man has excited greater
hopes-simply because the people believe
in his plans, and feel the Inspiration of his
patriotism and genius. Much disappoint-
ment is felt here that there should be any
conflict between him and General Hunter
and leading men advise, rather than he
should take subordinate position, that
General Lane should return to the Senate,
where his talents would have full play upon,
and in measure control the policy of the
war.
General Mead, honored with a place on
General Lanes staff, we regret to learn, be-
fore leaving for the West, declined the
appointment.
A deserved tribute has been paid to
Captain Mcclure for his valor at Wilson's
Creek aud in other engagements in
Missouri, by giving him prominency upon
the ataff, whore he will have an opportunity
to exhibit further feats of valor and
patriotism.
Congress is providing for any emergency
by the increase of our naval force, and
erecting defences upon our long line of
akes aud sea-coast.
Mr.. Conway, our Representative, has
made his mark upon the country by the
delivery of the able speech which he made
ago. 1t stamped him, at once, as
'ne Of the ablest and most logical speakers
n Congress, and one of whom tue young
State be represents may we'll be proud. In
Kansas, we know his efforts to make free
State-we may safely trust such a man to
epresent I'd in Congress, knowing his devo-
ion to principle, and unwavering adherence
o the cause of freedom. BON-JoUR.

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.
The military men have at las: been ousted
from the Senate. MIR. Phillips having
vacated his seat Mr. Roberts was admitted
in his place, since which Messrs. Bancroft,
Gum and Broadhead have been expelled.
Mr.. Horatio Knowles was admitted to the
seat of Broadhead's, and that of Bancroft s
was filed BY j. NJ. Rankin. Thus sufi-
cient number of Robinson's hirelings are
out Of the way of justice being rendered
to the Bond Thieves. Self-respect we think
would dictate the expulsion of Stevens be-
fore their adjournment.
Bob Stevens has made overtures to the
Legislature, by which he virtually. confesses
to have stolen $50, 900. The Committee of
the House to whom was referred his propo-
sitions made two reports-a majority report
signed by J. B. Ingersoll and II. W. Martin,
which recommends their acceptance, and a
minority report, signed by F. p. Baker,
recommending the rejection of his overtures.
We are pleased to notice that the House
adopted the minority report, thereby de-
claring their intention of making an exam
pie of Stevens to thieves for all time to
come. Our State Bonds are worthless
enough now, without proclaiming to the
country that our custodians can steal with
impunity. Stevens is also forger. He
submitted paper to the Investigating
Committee purporting to be signed by
Lane, Pomcroy and Conway. There ap-
pears in the Conservative letter from Mr..
Conway denying having signed any paper
recommending Stevens to the President, or
having in any way participated in the tran
sactiou. Stevens is not deserving of lien
ency, and we are glad the Legislature is of
the same opinion.
The Senate has resolved upon the first
Monday in March for the trial of the Secre-
tary of State; the first Thursday for the
trial of the Auditor and the second Mon
day for the trial Of the Governor. Messrs.
Stanton, Shannon, and Case appear as
counsel for the defence. The opinion is
generally prevalent that the Treasurer has
endeavored to do his duty honestly and
faithfully.
The Legislature has appropriated ten
thousand dollars for the construction of a
penitentiary. Timely move.
The House, after lengthy debate, pass
ed series Of concurrent resolutions, me-
morializing Congress to pass bill for the
construction of the Pacific Railroad ria the
Kansas Valley and Fort Riley, according
to the provisions of a bill introduced by
Hon. J. S. Rollins. The bill, says the
C0nsercatiee's correspondent, authorizes the
Leavenworth and Pawnee Company to build
the road to the western boundary Of the
State. The resolutions also memorable the
Senate of the United States to ratify the
Pottawattomie treaty.
The Legislature have enacted State tax
levy for the year 1862 of seven mills on
the dollar.
In the House, an act to detach Clay
county from Davis, and attach the same to
Riley County, was read the third time and
rejected.
Yesterday, the time expired for which
the Constitution allows the members pay,
and it is highly probable they have ad-
journed.
