A FLATTERING PROSPECT.

The Santa Fe Gazette, in an article under the
caption of Mails to New Mexico" bitterly CON-
plains of their mail arrangements, and makes
splendid and somewhat remarkable suggestion
1t is one that will eventually be carried out.
and its agitation is but part of the inevitable
progress the commerce of the plains is making
in seeking natural channel. With such testi-
.mony to bear us up, We have renewed confidence
that in short time the Smoky Hill Valley will
throng with the gigantic trade and travel OF the
vast plains to the West Of US.
The article is somewhat severe upon the Kan
sas City Stage line, because of its want of CON-
fort for passengers, and also upon the mail
contractors over that route because of the rregu-
lsrity of their mails. The Gazette suggests, as
q remedy, that a weekly mail be established
from Santa Fe to Denver. The paper says OF
the proposed route, By the establishment of q
mail as here suggested we will be able to receive
news from the States in Santa Fe in four days
when the telegraph line shall have been com
pleted to Denver City, which will be in short
time. Besides this, letters from the States can
be sent by this route to Santa Fe and other parts
of New Mexico, with the utmost regularity, and
quicker by FIVE DAYS than they are now brought
on the Kansas City coach. This is an item O.
time that is Of great Importance to the Govern
Inent in communicating with the civil and mill
tary officers Of the Territory

to Denver. Our route from Leavenworth t
Denver is one hundred and forty miles neare
to the river than any other route, which is tw
days travel, making saving between Santa
and the States Of seven days.
Leavenworth will do we'll to look ct this item
and We hope it will have due weight in urgin

!'I WASHINGTON. Sept. %.
There is a meeting of Missouri and
Kansas delegates tonight; and it is quite
enthusiastic. The commissioners read an
address they had prepared to be presented
to the President. It has not been adopted,
and may possibly receive some slight amend
ment to it. 1t will be proper to say that
the following will embrace its main points:
After affirming their attachment to the
administration, and to the President, and
their determination to stand by the procla
nation Of emancipation, they proceed to
lay down representations Of the Radical
and Conservative parties in Missouri, and
call upon the President to judge from: this

original cause Of, the rebellion, and on this
account they declare the emancipation proc
lanatiota necessity and irrevocable. They
say they accept the name of Radicals and
desire no other. They are radical to the
core and are determined to see the ins.itu-
ton Of slavery wiped out forever in Mis-
