FROM CHELSEA.
Inducements to Settlers.

We have q letter from q friend at
Chelsea, Butler county, Kansas, from
which we CLEAN the following items
of interest to the public generally, and
home-seekers in particulars
Chelsea has evidently commenced to
grow in earnest, and has Q bright future
in prospect. 1t is said TO be the pretti-
est town-site south of Emporia. Build
ings are going up rapidly, and the pros
pect is that there will be about I50
buildings put up this summer.
Chelsea is located between the Main
Walnut and Duracken creek, about half
mile above the junction of these
streams. The lay of the country is quite
level-just rolling enough to drain we'll.
The distance across from one of these
streams to the other at Chelsea is little
over one mile. Each of them forms an
elbow opposite the town, and both are
skirted with heavy bodies OF timber,
which add greatly to the beauty of the
place and surrounding country. Chel-
sea has three great natural advantages
1st. Water can can be got at any place
on the town-site by digging from 20 to
25 feet, and that of the best quality.
There are at present five good wells on
the site with never-failing water, and In
but one of the five was rock struck be-
fore obtaining plenty of water.
ID. There is more timber within q RI
dius of eight miles of Chelsea than
there is in the distance of any other
town in Southwestern Kansas. In go
ing southeast from the town the first
stream you cross 10 Dnraeken creek.
This is just at the town. 0ns and
a-half miles from Duracken Is Satehel

though rapid, is of the permanent kind.
We think we are safe in affirming that
with so beautiful scope of country and
so much of 1t, with the start which the
town already has, with the public spirit
and enterprise manifested in their town
improvements, with the high state of
public morals, (thc town having a first
class reputation in this respecD there is
no place in Kansas, aside from the coun-
ty seats, that has brighter prospects be-
fore 1t than the town Of Americas. The
erection of a public school building that
will be an honor and an immense and
lasting benefit to the place, has been be-
gun. 4ss
We would advise any OF the now
corners among uswho would like to en-
joy q pleasant ride, and sec at the same
time beautiful country and fine farms,
to take the bottom road to Americas,
keeping near the river so as to pass the
farm residences of the Logs, (of whom
there is a host) Haver, Humphrey,
Lambert Wright and others, returning
east through Americas, and striking
Allen creek, and following it toward
its mouth, passing the farms of Drake,
Grimsley, White, Peak and others. Be-
tween Americas and Plymouth there is
a large settlement Of Quakers, ofwhom,
by the way, there is large number in
this county, and who are the very best
citizens we have. :Chas. Hinshaw, whose
place we visited to obtain shrubbery and
trees, has n fine nursery on the very
highest of the upland, and has almost
everything in the way OF fruit thai
could be desired.

The Mobile Register insists that Hor-
ace Greeley is thoroughly devilish the
Radical party OF which he is a member
is devilish /; the measures of the Radical
party of which he is a member are dew
ilish; II. G's support of the measures of
the Radical party of which he is q men,
Der is devilish. 1t moreover maintains
that If II. G. be honest, upright and
sincere, then he is fool; but then the
whole radical party is devilish, where
OF II. G. is a member, H. G. himself
therefore is devilish. Now since man
cannot be honest, upright and sincere
and be at the same time devilish, H. G.
is not honest upright and sincere, hence
he is no fool he therefore is wise. Thus
the Register by the most convincing log.
ic proves that Horace possesses two
characteristics, which in the opinion OF
that eminent personage in Dombcy and
Son, Joseph Bagstock, Esq, entitle hin
to the highest estimation in the minds
of all right-thinking people. H. G. Il
devilish, he is wise. He therefore il
devilish wise. This is just what old j.
ey B. claims to be and exults in being
in all his transactions. ''Old Joe. B. il
sly; he is de-vilish sly" The query
now is whether II. G. will feel any tn,
worse for being placed in the same cat
egory with old joey Bagstock; for We
know that every body who reads Dom
hey and Son thinks well of that distin
guished individual, Notwithstanding h
is sly old cuss-

Senator Revels still continues q prom
inent figure head in the political world.
From the time he first took seat in the
Senate chamber, his every movement
has been watched with the closest scru-
tiny on the part of the public. Report
ers have logged his footsteps with ad-
mirable persistency at every turn. His
maiden speech was reported by scores
of ambitious Jenkinses. His manner of
delivery, his enunciation, his knowledge
of the laws of syntax, and hundred
other particulars have been faithfully
dilated upon by hosts of Washington
correspondents. We would suggest II
might be gratifying to, the public to
know what are Mr.. Revels' habits with
regard to sleep, food, etc. whether his
custom is to sleep eight hours, or like
Napoleon Bonaparte is satisfied with
but four; whether he believes in and
practices a vegetable or animal diet
whether he is careful to spend portion
of his working moments in proper phys.
ical exercise; and whether he passe;
much or little of his time in study cal.
culated to quicken and strengthen his
intellect, and increase the fund of his
positive knowledge. These things we
say might be of interest to the people
and we beseech the JeDkinses to let NJ
have them. ra.s
In all soberness, we do not see much
good sense or taste in this extravagan
lionizing. Senator Revels is ali wei
enough, but to continue week after weel
to make his sayings and doings thu
prominent news item in the telegraphi'
reports, seems to us as though the mat
ter were somewhat overdone.

Somebody sends US q copy of the
Mobile Register. It is filled with DEM
ocraiic hatred, Democratic lying, and
the old rebel CAB about the people ofthe
South and the ''white republic" Such
sheets are still appealing to the worst
passions and prejudices of the people.
Here is q specimen from the sheet be-
fore us:
''The Register has steadily maintained
that these were but two practical meth
DDS of hostile action against the cor
ruptions that stalk abroad under the
Jacobin administration, in both the Fed
eral and State Governments.
The South is confessedly powerless to
affect the great and necessary reform.
1t takes the honest strength of the
whole country to do it. What, then
are the methods of hostilization to this
bad power? There are but two-the
ballet and the bullet. 1t is not needful
to discuss the latter now. We may
have to come for 1t hereafter. We may
yet be forced, as the New York DaI
Book says, to put to death half million
OF mongrels to save "white republic o.
Washington"
This is the kind of talk that keeps
alive the mob spirit at the Soth. W.
only hope that if these vehement rebels
"come for" the bullet hereafter "to pu
to death half q million of mongrels,
that the aforesaid mongrels will whal'
them worse than the Yankees did, anC
we have no doubt they would.

AMERICUs.

We took one days leave of absence
from the editorial sanctum . short time
since, to visit the enterprising and rap
idly growing town of Americas, situ-
nted about nine miles northwest of En-
poria, on the NJ, X s. T. R.R. We had
not been to the place for two or three
months, and were agreeably astOnished
at the vast number of improvements
made in that short time. There Is but
little doubt that the place has doubled
in size in three months. It is not diff
cult to account for this impetus to its
growth. True il is that the country
makes the town, and no finer country
does the sun shine upon, from the be-
ginning to the end of his long journey,
than that which surrounds Americas.
To the south about two miles winds the
beautiful Neosho, from which the land,
called first bottom, gradually rises to the
town site. The town is situated on what
is called the second bottom, being q
mean between the lowlands and the
high, rolling prairies. To the north the
second bottom land gradually rises un-
ill IL Is lost in the highlands, or uplands.
To the east about two miles is fine
branch (and the largest one in this coun-
ty) OF the Neosho. Nowhere I'm the
county are settlements more dense, OF
do farmers show more thrift than along
Allen creek and the Neosho, to the north,
south, east and west of Americas. Be-
ing the oldest portion OF the county.
farm houses dot the country as thick.
Iy as ia old neighborhOods in Eastern
States. With so fine country as this
already so thickly settled, and SO rapid
ly settling, It is no wonder that Ameri'
Gus is doubling up ian population every
two or three months. The class Oi
buildings which she is erecting ere q
credit to her, and show that her growth,
