Every seat III the house was sold, and

Mr.. Cough was greeted with hearty
applause, and spoke for more than an
hour and II halt, holding the audience
as no other speaker can do it. His de-
lineatiOnS of circumstances" in their
relations to life, were i'll his best style,
and his lecture overlooked with illus.
traIions, graphic, ludiCrous, touching
and brilliant, all told III his own mimi
table manner, and all bearing, besides
their relation to his subject, n train OF
thought calculated to instruct and elc-
VAte. In one or two passages where he
alluded to his own experience, and es-
peCiAlly i'll the References to his own
reformation from intemperance, and TO
the slight circumstance OF kind word
of encouragement given by a friend, he
surpassed himself, aud impressed his
audience with the reality OF his nara
ton, i'll wonderful manner. In his
hands the subject WAS wonderfully
prolific, and ns he passed from one
class a: circumstances to another, and
to the relations they hold to facts and
truths. he seemed to be not one, but
several persons, so changing was his
manner and appearance with every
change OF thought or passion he at
tempted TO depict.
His close, III which he endeavOrcd to
impress upon the audience the idea
that no possible chain or combination
of circumstances can relieve any man
from individual obligation and respOn-
Sibility, was II grand presentation OF
truth, and his earnest appeal for loyalty
TO tn. highe law of love to man and 10
God, was the most impressive and
eloquent part of his lecture.

LETTER FROM MINNESOTA.


The following letter, dated Dec. 18th,
written by aresident of Plainview, Min
Desota, to friend in this city, contains
the following account of crops &c. in
that State;
I'VE had hot dry season and wet
fall-considerable sickness, mostly ty-
phoid fever, an average crop of wheat,
oats and corn good, potatoes failure,
owing to potato bug. Have been, sold
as high as 81 80 to 50 per bushel.
Times are the haSdest here now ever
saw in this country. We have had two
short crops in succession. The people
have got in debt and can't pay. In con-
sequence their farms are sold on mort
gage. Two thirds of the renters are
gone up this season and their teams are
sold on chattel mortgage. Harvest
wages was 81 per day, threshing, 50,
and many had to sell their wheat for
less than 81 per bushel. It Is now worth
20 cents, oats and corn 20. Cattle that
would bring $50 to Sl5O per yoke three
months ago, can now be bought at from
$50 to 500. Cattle of all grades have
fallen in the same proportion.

STATUTES OF KANSAS.

We have seen a volume of the new
statutes of Kansas, just issued by John
Speer, at the Lawrence Tribune Office.
AS q specimen of typography II is a
credit not only to the publisher but to
the State. We have not seen it excelled
in this respect in the West. Mr.. Speer
fitted up his establishment at great ex-
pense, and it is the most thorough in
Kansas. The binding was done at the
Lawrence bindery of Moore & Wallace,
and is a first-class job. The printing
was done under the supervision of our
old-time friend, E. p. Harris, than whom
there is not better or more thorough
printer within the range of our ac-
quaintance. He read the proof, made
up the forms, and to him much of the
credit is due for the excellent manner
in which the work was executed. The
attorneys edition is bound in two vol
umes with blank leaf between each OF
the printed leaves for notes. On the
whole this is a job of work of which
every Kansan may feel proud. We are
gratitied to know that we have print
ing establishment in Kansas that can do
such fine work. We would not be
ashamed to compare this volume with
the book printing of any establishment
east or west.

hope to see a constitutional amendment
framed and adopted which will compel
universal amnesty with impartial suf-
frage and make it part of our funda-
mental law. OF course the Republic
cans of West Virginia, Missouri and
Tennessee will not like to be voted
down in their respective States or in
portions thereof by the now disfran-
chised rebels, but no more will the now
dominant rebels of Maryland, Ken
tucky and Delaware relish the enfran-
chisement Of their black neighbOrs.
No comprehensive settlement of great
controversy ever did or ever can help
exciting some local grievances, real or
imaginary, as in this case. Statesmen
will disregard selfish and short-sighted
clamor in the contemplation of general
enduring results

LEAvENwoRTn BRIDGE.-The contract
for building a railroad and highway
bridge over the Missouri river at Leav-
enworth was closed on the 4th inst.
with L. Boomer & Co., of Chicago.
The work is to be commenced on the
first day of February next, and the
bridge completed in eight months there
after. The county board, by a unan-
imous vote, transferred its stock, $500,
900, in the Missouri River railroad, to
the Leayenworth s. Atchison Railroad
Company. This action on the part OF
the bridge company and the board OF
county commissioners is believed to be
the most important ever taken in be-
half of Leavehworth. The railroad to
Atchison will be built Immediately, and
the bridge within the time specified.
The business prospects of Leavenworth
are such that old citizens believe that
the city will increase from forty thous-
and inhabitants to one hundred. thous-
and within five years.

OURSTATE.

It seems probable now that Ne in
crease in our population will be larger
in 1869 than it ever was before. The
statistics of immigration point in that
direction. Hon. David A. Wells, who
is believed to be the best statistician in
the country, has published statement
that the foreign immigration will be
larger this year than eveT.bcfore. The
usual rate has been 100000 annually.
Our own State has only received. a
small allowance. 1t has been I'M
solicited.
The arguments which we have used
from year to year have thus far been
unheeded. The subject has become
stale to US. Kansas has grown with
unexampled rapidity, but there has
been no public effort to increase the
immigration to our State.
Not less than 100000 is expended
annually by Michigan, Minnesota,
Iowa and Missouri in the pay of agents,
foreign Consuls, the publication of doc
umeuts, and other means TO aid the ad-
vancement of their own States.
In other words, the Western States
have become q Missionary Society to
extend the influence of their own States
throughout the civilized globe. Can
we do less than they? Our State has
thus far neglected this matter. Our
population thus far has not increased at
greater rate than 100000 per year.
The fault has been our own. We have
made no effort. We need judicious
encouragement of immigration by the
State. Our Legislature; which meets
next Tuesday, should not fail to pro-
vide an effective immigration Bureau,
with liberal apprOpriatiOn.-ITBs d

A1EERICUs, Dec. 2lst 1868.
Rather unreliable are the mails now
a-days, and sswe correspondence some
times have to carry our most intensely
interesting productions in our pockets
till their extreme age consigns them to
the "dead-matter hook" and the adear
reader" is left to infer that we've ssalary

me, if You please, and learn that in this
locality things have continued TO move
along, notwithstanding the dreadful
condition of the weather and the roads.
And first, let as reckon up" the immi-
grants that have arrived since my last.
Right in the midst Of the great snow
storm came Mr.. Sylvester Curtis and
''his son john" with their famiiies-13
in number-all the way from Randolph
county, Illinois, in wagons. The elder
gentleman was out here last summer
when he bought the Joseph Brown
farm, three miles west from town, upon
which they have now settled. Mex
came Mr.. John Leece and family from
Dekaleb county. Illinois. This gentle.
man had bought q quarter section OF
land on Dow creek, "unsight and un
seen," and has already gone at work tt
build and intends TO open up farm
thereon. Then came Mr.. Frazier and
family, from Ohio, believe, to locate
upon and improve quarter section Ont
mile east from town. Two other gen
tlemen, whose names have not learn,
ed, are also here looking at the country
Mr.. William EdmistOn, of this place,
has just returned from a visit to Illinois
bringing a wife to share with him the
sho above town.
The Presbytery of the United Pres.
byterian church of Kansas was appoint
ed to meet in this place on Wednesday
last, but ewing to the impassabiIity o.
the roads but two members from abroad
Rev. Finney of Manhattan and del
egate from Cedar congregation, neal

and the session was adjourned to meet
here in March next. Rev. j. G. Adair
from Pennsylvania who filled an ap.

mer, arrived here on Friday, to fill an
other appointment made, by Presbytery
| to preach here four weeks.
VIM. Anderson to-day sold his farm
two miles west from here, to John Nc
Cav, and it is rumored that two of thu
finest farms in this vicinity have alsC
just been sold through the agency o
Pratt, Havenhill s. Hall, of Emporia.
Isaac Wright, who lives three miles
up the NeOshO, killed five hogs the 9th

bonds to be returned to the county.
The contract has been signed by the
railroad company, and is now before the
County Commissioners for their sigma
