The threatened invasion Of the White

General Dent was especially alarmed. and

Ono Thousand n l,ax.

The immigration to Kansas now. by
railroads alone. is not less than one
thoussnds day. The Kansas PScifc,
from Lsavenworth 10 Wysndotte. aver
ages eight car loads day. and sometimes
% mspy as thirteen and fourteen car
loads. Its passenger trains are as heavy
as We have ever seen on the New York
Central. The roads from L,svenworib
to Atchisop, from the STATE Line to Fort
Scott. from Atchison to Waterville,
from Wathena to Hiswaths, arc doing q
much larger business than ever befors.
and much larger than the companies had
anticipated. Most Of this travel is mi ade
up Of immigrants. an9 of persons Of a
very substantial character. II has begun
early in the season. and comes from all
paris of the Northern States. Various
causes have led to this unprecedented
rush to X ansss. bot there can be no doubt
abou, it's extent. although the figures
seem marvellous when we stop to think
of than. One thousand day., lie SIX
Thousand a week. twenty -fonr thousand a
month-or seventy.two thousand for the
three spring months. @
Formerly our immigrants neaily all
came in wagons, and thousands of "mov-
ers" still come in that WY, from all the
western States. There has been no fall
ing of in this branch of travel-tbe can
vas covered wagons with the hen coop
tied on behind; o load Of lean women and
white hsi,ed children; two or three cad
sverous tobacco eqniiters loafng along
BY the side; two yellow dogs, and several
head Of cattle. This is the wagon of the
squstter who may have left North Caro-
Ina a quarter Of century ago. and who
expects to reach Arizona or japan before
he dies. Counting these with the more
sristocra.ic travellers who are drawn by
steam. and it will be within bounds to
estimate the new. corners st one hundred
thousand BY the fret Of June. We have
had nothing like this before. hundred
Thousand having hitherto been considered
q large accession for whole year. The
census-tsksr will soon be on the grOnnd.
and his statistics may be believed by
those who may consider our estimate
exaggerated. Many years ago Holmes
printed the now well-known lines,
"And, since, never dare to write
