and what is destined 70 be the WesIthiest
route in the southern part of the State.
There is now more mail matter, more goods
hauled, and more trade over this route than
any other that passes from the Kaw 10 the
NsOsho Valley. Itpasses directly through
the coal fields of Usage county, which is
very important item. Then again, if ne
build this road, will we not draw the Atchi-
son, Topeka q Sante Fe road to Us? By
building their road from Topeka 10 Burlin-
game, distance of twenty-five miles, they
would connect with the Lawrence and EN-
polia read, and then both interests could
unite in pushing road from mere up the
rich valley of the Cottonwood, in the direc-
ton of Santa Fe. L is reasonable to sup
poee they would take this course in prefer
ence to running TO Council Grove, sixty
miles over barren country. These roads,
centering here, insure an early outlet up the
Cottonwood, in the direction of Santa Fe.
i gives Us an outlet via Lawrence, Kansas
City, and st. Louis to the East and South,
and an outlet via Topeka and Atchigon to
the North.
AS we said before, the Lawrence and EN-
pOria railroad scheme is really the most i'm
portant and tangible one We have yet had
presented TO US, and demands our earnest
attention. 1t is on good basis, and there
is no reason why it cannot be pushed for
ward. The preliminary steps should bs
taken at once. No time should be lost to
secure its early completion.
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1864-03-05
TAKE THE NEWS.

We would urge upon every one the i'm
portance of subscribing for TIE News now.
We have large circulation 10 this part of
Kansas, but yet we know Of many men
who do net take it. Now, and for the next
year, more than ever, you will want to keep
posted in the events which are transporting
all over the land, for its veal or woe. Be-
side the important military movements
which are to take place the ensuing season,
of which you want a weekly record, per-
haps the greatest political fight which this
country has ever witnessed, is to take place,
for the next Presidency. Then, We have
full State ticket to nominate and elect, and
there will be two or more tickets in the field,
aud warm fight. We have district and
county officers to elect also. You will want
to keep posted in local politics, and local
matters generally, and TO that department.
OF our paper we pay especial attention.
Subscribers have frequently told Us that
they have got information enough in
ten line item to pay them for the paper.
You cannot lose money by taking it. You
will certainly miss great deal of pleasure
and enjoyment if you don't take it. In the
coming political campaign, the paper ex-
poets to advocate the most radical men and
measures-the most earnest war policy-no
quarter to traitors-and the downfall Of
demagogues. A part of the history Of
the country will be enacted this summer
which you :Flll all want to be intimately
acquainted With,
In year we give our readers about $50
columns of reading matter, exclusive of ad-
vertisements, consisting of editorials and
communications en- the topics of the day, q

biographical, agricultural and religious
miscellany.
Our terms are, 50 for single copy
clubs of ten, 81.75 each, clubs of twenty
$50 each.
We desire to make this paper for South
western Kansas men to read and support
and will at all times be pleased to publish
local news of any kind from different local
tiles in the Southwest.
Let every man support his home paper
Send in your names aud begin with the
great military and political campaigns about
to commence. Names from distance must
in all cases be accompanied with the cash,
whether for a single subscriber or club.

OUR RAILROAD INTERESTS.

In common with Southern Kansas, we
have important railroad schemes, which
have been comparatively overlooked. on &C
count of our delegation in both branches
of Congress having always been from the
northern part of the State, and because we
have never been represented in the loby
from Kansas.
Last fall we struck off on new railroad
scheme, which looked to US very feasible.
It was a route from here to PaoIa, to con-
nect there with a road to Warrensburg,
Missouri, 10 form a junction at the last
named place with the Missouri Pacific road.
This seemed our best route to obtain eastern
railroad connection. The company was
chartered this last session of our Legisla-
ture, and memorial passed, asking for the
road grant of lands. There is, however,
one serious obstruction to building this
road. 1t is pretty surely ascertained that
Congress will grant no more lands to Kan
sas for railroad purposes, and no road can
be built without this aid.
Our attention, as people, is now called
4. to another railroad enterprise, namely the
branch road Running from Lawrence via the
Wakarusa, which, according to the original
bill, was to cross the Neosho river at the
same place as the Atchison, Topeka & San
ia Fe road. We invite attention to the ar
ticle copied from the Lawrence Daily Tri-
bune, in to-day's paper. Through the ex
ertions of General Lane and Mr.. Wilder,
and Mr.. A. G.. Proctor of this place, who
was lately at Washington, the railroad

We have letter from Major Plumb, da-
ted Humboldt, 26th ult., in which he says
"Gsn. Curtis was here Saturday and ex-
pressed himself pleased with the looks Of
things in these parts. He has directed me
to build block house here, which I shall
commence Immediately. think that a
considerable force will be kept on the South
ern Border during the coming season
probably as large as there is now. But ev-
cry man ought to have gun and keep it
loaded. If the guerrillas know that every
home they approach will be the death of one
or moro of them, they will be clear of ap-
preaching. The guerrillas will play their
most desperate game this year and may be
able to do much damage"
