IMMIGRATION.

The Governor in his message strongly
urged that Board of Immigration be form.
e d by theqegielGture at The expense of Inc
public, for the purpose of turning this wears
westward tide int the vast bosom of our
State. TIE committee on 4. griculture bave
recommended the establishment of euoh
Board, with authority to employ agents,
publish pamphlets, advertise, &c. DC.
AS to sending agents abroad. we confess
that we have but little faith in such poll
cy. There is but very few men who are ca
pable of doing the State justice in capao-
ity Of that kind, as it requires a man OF
much tact and shrewdness, added to an
earnest desire to see the best interests of
Kansas prosper, without any regard as
10 whether he will make "soft thing"
out ofthe transaction or not. The publishing
of pamphlet giving full and correct de,
scriptiOn of all the advantages Kanso. offers
to the emigrant--her mineral, agricultural,
pastoral, commerciai-in short, everv
branch of industry whereby money is made
and individual prosperity insured by indi-
Vidual exertion may, be considered Tie besl
method of obtaining the desired object; but
in the compilation of such work We be
lieve it requires far greater knowledge Of
the subjects to be presented than can be
collected in the short space OF few months
However, we will not now discuss this
question, but leave 1t to the action Of the
Legislature whom we doubt no. have better
facilities for understanding the subject than
we at present enjoy.
An appropriation will no doubt be made
in behalf of the work Of inducing immi-
grafton into the State, aud we wish to sug-
gest one method which will Commend itself
for cheapness, practicability, and Us think
will attain The object sought speedily and
probably. Every county in the State is
represented by one or more newspapers-ii
not within their borders, at least in close
communication by mail-which have al
ready a greater or lees circulation in the
older States. Let the legislature make an
appropriation for the purpose of sending
so or 100 copies of at least one paper from
each county in the State to individuals and
communities in the othGr States. By this
method they will have brought home to
them each week, reflex of what is going on
in Kansas, and be thereby better qualified
to judge after few months reading. Of our
every advantage, than they could possibly
be able to do under any other circumstan-
ces. Two thousand papers circulated in
this manner would be read by not less than
ten thousand people, and would give them
better view of Kansas than the most ex-
pehsive WORK that can possibly, at present
be compiled. We are Of the candid opinion
that no better or more practical method
could be devised to bsne6t our State in the
way above mentioned.
We make tue suggestion with only one
purpose in view, and that is to DO all in our
power to advance our mutual interests by
the adoption of some plan whereby our
State will receive all the immigration her
broad and beautiful prairies will support.

EDrroRs OF THE News: = The main OBJ
isct of this note. is to certify to you, that
have had several interviews with Senator
Pomeroy and Representative Clarke, and
view them not only in favor of our Neosho
Valley Railroad. but earnestly at work for
-. As to Lane We may safely count him,
if not against it, not jealous friead. II
We now TAIL Ia this enterprise, il is more
oar fault than the fault of Congress or the
President, as they are a unit Oh hat in,
terest.
There is litlls apprehension he. but that
the Executive and Congress will harmonic
on the grand policy of recoastruc.ion, not.
Withstanding the anxiety aud industry o.
some political jObbers, to produce discord
and division in our ranks; but you will find
that their purposes are so transparent and
their hypocrilical rant so customary, that
no thoroughly loyal community will give
them countenance. In them the "well &C
custonlsd eye can see the rottennes of their
hearts," yet there are instances in certain
loealitieo, Loyalty democratic, where those
came gentlemen End their cons ,l.ti1n and
endorsement.
The subject Of suffrage in the District
OF Columbia still hangs fire. awaiting they
say, the return of several Members of both
Houses who are absent, they saw. to dodoe
the question.
There is great amount of "fu5s and
feathers" here among the Southern mem
bers of Congress elect. and their friends,
"who want in" but the latch string appears
to be pulled in. And who are these men
who are asking the privilege of legislatiug
for the country? Traitors to the Govern
mani; men who cannot take the oath, and
a0OULd not if they could. nor would not
keep IL if taken Why has the South chosen
10 send these men, knowing these facts, IN
less intended as d contempt for Congress,
tbs oath and the Government? Had they
been favorably amicably disposed they
would have sent Union men, rather than
those who had so fatally misled the people,
and carried them Into rebellion and ruin.
1 find strong determination on the part
of Congress TO reduces the territorial limits
of the Indians, which will open up all of
Southern Kansas for settlement.

The City of Mexico is better supplied
with water than any city in the world. Il
has two immense aqueducts-one seven
miles long and the other three - which
bring the water from the mountains to the
very heart of the city; thence by arteries it
is distributed in every direction. There
are also numerous artesian wells in the city
and it's suburbs. By boring an average
depth Of eighty feet the water rises several
feet above the surface of the earth, and Aows
in very bold stream. In ihsny instances
the water is not at all brackish, but is as
fresh and sweet as that brought from the
mountains.

 EDITOR or ARrzoEA MISER.-Since last wrote you from tilk place the weather has been very hot at times the thermometer standing as high as l2e- in the shade, but notwithstanding this the mines are being worked with success.
 Coiju & Co, from New York, have com. menced operations on the ledge near Mineral Hill called the Adelphi and although they have been at work but short time, they have succeeded in taking out considerable orc of very good quality, and are confident they have q good mins. They ae shipping theii metal to San Francisco to have it tested.
 Messrs. Ripley < Crane, also Of New York have arrived, and purchased two extensions on the Eliza and one on the Ashley, and ar, making the u-ccs-afy I,fe Fati'.iss fof opsTst ing on the same, in the way of building hotsse' etc. Mr. Ripley has left for San Francisco for the purpose of purchasing \ stock ofgoods lt is the intention of this Company Co keep | stock Of all kinds Of merchandize on hand t' supply Prescott As cheap if not cheaper thar the La Pax or Hardyville markets This es tablishment, if properly patronized, will be ! great benefit to the Prescott country. Tho store will be within two hundred ' ards Of tho buildings occupied by the Planet Mining Co and will he completed in the course of about one month, part Of the adobcs being already made.
 The distance from this point to Prescott cannot exceed l9O miles by the wagon road, and by the packers trail not over lO0 miles. being about sixty miles nearer than any other point from which Prescott can obtain sup. plies.
 Martin 6 Go. are now receiving machinery from California for the purpose of placing re- dnciion works upon the Mineral Hill mines snl have contracted foF the burning of 2G GA bushels of charcoal. MT. Greenman, of the above krIn, has been here, and few day, since legi Tor his horne in California, well !, at isfied with the mines they are developing Mir.

among who noticed Dunn, Bill. -, and Wade. At the house of Pat. Byrns below we stayed but moment, but found . nice little crop of corn he and Scottie are making. They seem to be in thriving condition, and l was glad to sec their corn look SO well. We passed through Carlisle & Co., place, and came up to Salesbury's, who has a large amount of land under cultivation, and also that Of Mir. Jackson, whose prospects are very encouraging. Next is Charley Gennng, Jack Shanks and Pete Smith, with good looking corn and garden. Our next stepping place was that of Saxoh and partners, whose crops look hearty, then Stainbtook, with corn all around him, then Stevenson, whose tur- nip@ were excellent, and finally Barnett Howell. Barnett has good ranch, and as he is big hearted fellow, l hope he and Howell will succeed. We crossed over the creek to Berger Co.'S place, took look at their ranch, and returned. this being the end, Tor here the great canon of the Hassayampa begins, and extends, 1t is said, thirty miles.
 Besides the great amount of corn and wheat that will this year be raised. all the ranchnen have gardens, with almost every thirg good to eat growing in them. They all look finely. ! noticed that there is con siderable many tobacco plants being set out, and, am told, this plant grows well here.
 The valleys from Henry & Co.'s cabin down the creek are thickly studded with large walnut trees. The distance is about eight miles, and all the arabic iand is cldmed, with a portion under cultivation. A great quantity of corn and vegetables will be raised this year.
 We had no time to visit the mines in this locality, but some of them have gained con siderable note for their richness, and are, should think, of easy access. The country looks well, and very probable many more ledges could be found in this vicinity.
 am pleased to see these pioneer farmers so soon to realize an equivalent for their hard istvr. They nave eontendri against every thing--the Indians, want of protection, tools, and supplies for their own use in putting in the crops, and all the disadvantage of pi- oneer life. Living out of doors, working in mud and rain and scorching sun, fighting In- dians on every hand, compelled to keep a continual guard, they certainly deserve sue cess but they have succeeded, and now are happy. Next year more land rjll be put in cultivation, road will be built to the pine timber and to Prescott, which is much needed, then will Walnut Grove be even more than it is now, credit to this new country. r.
