KANSAS CITY, Jan. 3.-Advices by the Santa Fc
coach say that intensely cold weather prevails on the
plains and the snow bound trains have lost nearly
all their animals. Some of the teamsters have been
fatally frozen. Eleven mules were picked up along
the route in helpless condition. and were taken to
Fort Dodge for treatment. The anticipated heavy
spring immigration to this place has already com
menced the arrivals being greater than at any pre-
vious time Eastern capitalists are taking up busi-
lots rapidly, and labor and material for building
are inadequate to the demand.
ATCHIsOS Kansas, Jan. 3.-The Daily Ckampi0M
publishes an accurate statement of the amount of
freight shipped from here across the plains during
the year 1868. Twenty-seyen firms and individual
freighters engaged in this trade during the year and
the aggregate amount OF their shipments was p 500
900 lbs. of assorted merchandise recurring for its
transportation nearly 1000 wagons. 1000 mules
and horses, and nearly $4,000 oxen, and employing
upwards of 5000 men. Over half of the freight went
to Colorado. and the remainder to different points in
Utah. Montana, Nevada, Idaho. New Mexico, Ne
braska and Western Kansas.
The total capital invested in this trade was over
S6,OOOOO0, and the value of the merchandise and
machinery transported is not definitely known.
The Overland coaches, which leave and arrive here
daily have taken out and brought in four thou
sand passengers and have also brought here 50 400
900 in specie and have carried out 900 pounds Of
press freight.
Butterfeid's Overland Despatch has also carried a
large number OF passengers each way, but that line

The freighting business in this city was seven times
greater this year than in 1861 five times larger than
in 1862 four times larger than in 1858 and five million
pounds greater than in 1864. The most experienced

BosToN, JAN 4.-GOv Andrew to-day delivered a
lengthy valedctory address to the Legislature, in

color, now the wards of the nation, their civil rights
as men and women on equality with the white popu-
lation by amendments irrepealabc in terms. Second

artificial rules hal been disfranchsed will resume

At time when our State officers taking meas
to establish uniform system of public instruc

ions which are comparatively pOwerle,S when com
Ing only from individuals, but which when united ae
the voice of such an Association will reach the ears
Of authority, and make the teacher to be felt as
power in the community.
In order therefore to accomplish such good results
for the cause. for yourselves and for the State we
urge upon you to begin at once; 70 assemble and
