IlavmvoztA, Rsvnss ana Western r. 4, Lamb.
Mr.. Trou,ridge, >ot Dstro;s, one gof The
Directors Of 9he Pasife Kailfsad Company,
aud Mr.. StSSle, Of The. firm Of Ross Steele
& Co., contractors, have recently completed
an examination of the lands belonging to
the Leavenwortb, Pawnee and Western
Railroad Company, and pronounced them
equal, if not superior, to any lands in the
Western States. Not an acre of these
lands are what might be called waste lands
but the whole tract is well fitted for agri-
culture and grazing. The gentlemen made
. thorough examinatios of the tract, riding
al over it, and say that such lands can be
sold at good fgures in the Eastern market,
even ut this time when the layd market
seems 90 quiet. This tract Of l<nd is situ-
ated on the north side of the Kansas river,
and is about a hundred miles in length, and
on an average twenty miles in width, con-
taining in the eighborhood of half a
million of acres. The route of the railroad
is through the entire length of the tract.
Messrs. Trowbridge and Steele have re-
turned East, preparatory to moving their
families here for a permanent residence.
Tho work on our railroads will soon
commence in good earnest, and it will be
prosecuted with vigor. The future pros
poets Of our State appear very aatterins /;
and the fact that by an act of our Legisla.
ture the L., p. & W. r. r. must commence
at Leavenworth, establishes beyond doubt
that our city will remain the commercial
metropolis of Kansas.-Bulletin.

T.,
Kansas, November 49, 1852.
We are in receipt of the following con-
munication from the Hon. j. NJ. Edmunds,
Commissioner of the General Land Office,
Washington City.
The collection which Mr.. Edmunds pro-
poses to make will certainly prove useful as
we'll as interesting. 1t will afford an ex-
cellent opportunity of making known, at
the scat of government. the geological char
acteristics, mineral resources, and excellent
soil of Western Kansas.
We invite the cooperation Of each citi-
zen of this Land District in the collection
of the specimens called for. All specimens
left with us will be forwarded 10 the Com.
missioner, with the locality from which it
comes, and the name of the contributor,
written upon the label.
We shall be especially glsd to forward
specimens of the salt, salt petre, coal, and
iron. known to exist in the Western portion
of the State.
In sending specimens, let them be accom-
panied with descriptions Of the locality from
which they came, with any general infor-
nation which would be useful in relation

AGRICULTURAL SrArrsrIcs-Is there any one in
Davis County attending to the collection Of these
important figures? We trust some on will make
it their business to have our County fully rep
resented in the Annual Report of the State
Agricultural Society. Attention is called to the
article on our first page, from the Topeka Record,
on this subject. The Record suggests that an
estimate be made of the loss by prairie fires in
each county, and forwarded to the State Society
with the report-thinks the enormous figures
that can he collected will stimulate the people
to some effective means of prevention.

Maj. Gen. Com'dg,
Indians in Minnesota-what Shall Be Done
a phamphlct from the St Paul Press, BY
James ". TAYLOR, Esq, presents The above
question and answers it. Mr.. Taylor Is of
the opinion that these Indians should be
colonized on Isle Royale in Lake Superior.
This island is described as forty.two
miles long and from FIVE to eight wide, With
nm area Of 100000 acres. 1t is heavily
timbered. and has fertile soil aud climate
similar to Nova Scotia. Copper and silver
have been discovered, and some enterprises
of mining have been undertaken. ThA
coast is intcrsected by deep passages or
fords, like those of Iceland or Norway.
There is no better harborage on Lake Su-
perior, The sheltered coves and bays Of
the coast, and the lakes of the interior
swarm with choice varieties of fish.
To this island, Mr.. Taylor would trans
fer 1000 Chippewas, 800 Menomonees,
80, ,430 Sioux, and 3, 100 Chippewas-in all
~, $50. Official statements put down the
total expenditure on account of the Indians
in Minnesota from lS4O to 1859 inclusive,
at 81. POS, ,3l0,2S, or an annual average Of
about S390O0O, 1t is assumed that the
expense attending an Indian administration
in Michigan, Wisconsin, and on Sioux
accoun: in Dakotah Territory. will bring
the sum fully up to s5OO,0O0 annually.
Distribute 46,oSO Indians into families or
lodges Of five persons each, and this would
be S5t for the inmates Of each lodge, to be
supplied exclusively by Government agents
n the purchase of indispensable articles Of
ood and clothing.

JONATHAN WON'T FEED SANBo.-The fol-
lowing is an extract from a letter from a
highly respectable and intelligent gentleman
in Savannah TO his friend in this city. From
il. il will be seen that the Yankees are tired
Of their bargain in contrabands, and find
that The Union sentiment in South Carolina
is all a myth:
" The negroes are returning in very des-
titute condition 10 their masters. sherman
sent word 10 Gen. Lee That the negroes were
Starving. and asked for provisions. General
Lee replied that IL the negroes were returned
to their masters, they would be cared for.
Two hundred were said TO have returned in
q body last week. The desertion Of Beau
fort and the burning Of cotton on the Sea ISL
ands has convinced Dupont and Sherman
that there is no Union sentiment here"
