proved this gear, ip Kansas, than in three years
heretofore. Where all the settlers come from do
not know. II almost seems as IL they had dropped
from the air. ike the gtassborpers that you heard
SO much about last !year. Our country needs no
blowing advertising. 'lius we have really the
finest, richest aud best country west Of the Mis-
souri, and this fact seems TO haye at length be-
me known abroad aud appreciated. Not having
been hred here by glowing representations, but
hasipg come becanse the county suits them, il is
pretty safe TO conclude that these settlers have
come to stay,t9 develop the country, There is
scarcely section Of land in the Kansas bottom
upon which Improvements are rot being made.
New fences and new houses are being seen in ev-
cry direction.
GROWTH oE I,AwRfScE,,a
Our citFfis wide awake. There is more build
ing goiag on here than ever before, ut this season
of the year. The larger proportion Of the building
consists Of private resaeuces.-, LRwrenee is well
supple with business houses already although
there are several frst-cbss houses in tie process
of construction. In all parts Of the city, the work
goes bravely on. Our merchants are all doing a
lively business. Our mills, (actorits ana founl-
rcs are in ni,tiou, both dy aud night. Hotels
and boarding-hOuses are crowded with strangers.
The present population of Lawrence is $4,000. It
coutaius about two hundred basin2ss houses, bias
eighteen churches aud thirteen 5 h,ols, has two
railroads anil their machine-shops, ahl runs its
own steamboats, on the Kansas River. Last, but
not least are our daily papers three in number,
two morning and one evening, bssi les the same

received a shortFall, a few days ago, from
Messrs. FRAGo aal MACK who left your Burg a
few weeks ago, They were you their, way sapth
to the NeoSho River. While in our office, they
m ,de the following complimentary remarks
MY! we were very much surprised to find such
a large city as .uu have away ont ttis Ica' Vest,
aud such delightful country around it. Your
city puts one in mind of Toledo. Your store
houses are very e--all brick and stone. This
Main street must be mile long tNot Fne.)
Lawrence is the incest aud liveliest place we have
seen since we left Toledo. What beautiful VAL
ley this s-some very fine farms in il Ii our
people in Wood County only knew what you had
out here in the way of lands markets, ETC., many
Of them would come and settle here but they
think the country is new vet the society rough, no
schools, lots Of rthieyes," &C., &c, ,-......
.,r,e .... GOOD FARMERS WANTED. s.Er. F..
/ kuow that the above is about the idea people
have of all now countries. They mist come aud
see for lhemselves, as these two gentlemen have
done, aud Kansas will be understood ani appre-
ciated. We need more farmers, and we want
good oncs--iust such men as you have in Wood
County. They would make their IN ark here. We
d'u'U want any shiltlcss things, assure you We
have onr quota. Nor do we need any more print
crs just now nor doctors; those that are here are
as poor AS jobs turkey. ! don't mean to say that
the printers are poor. No, no; they are all well
of. mean, the doctors are poor.
GRANT FOR PRESIDENT.
The loyal men of Kansas have spoken, and made
their choice OF standard-bearer for the party in
the coming Presidential contest, and have s-nt
good men and true to carry their wishes to Cliioa
go, and to advocate them before the Convention
there to assemble. In presenting the name of
General U, :. GRANT, the people of Kansas have
followed the patriotic impulses of their hearts, as
well as the dictates of their sober judgments, and
claim that they have presented a name that will
alike do honor to both. ...T I.r.
