Robrrts, who resides two miler west of Big Spring, states that a ye; ago he sowed a fhdd of some forty acre3 with wheat. In July last he harvested a small crap, erring to the dry season, and to its being sown on the sod. About the first of October last, he plowed under the stubble of nearly fifteen ar 3, leaving the furrows as made by the plow.

A heavy crop of wheat made its appear one trial, but somptimes requires two or more and my practice is to re-vaccinate in all cases so long as a vaccinoid effect can be produced.

Paraguay had settled her difficulties with Brazil and France. The pending dispute between Paruguay and tho United States will soon be brought to an issue. Ura-guay was tolerably quiet the revolutionary troubles having been, General Urqniza had addressed another comnTunication to Buenos Ayres, demanding her return to the Argentine Confederation but a condition prescribed that the Argentine Constitution sho'd be submited to a voto of the of Buenos Ayres was regarded as inadmissible and declined and both countries were preparing for hostilities. The upper provinces of Buenos Ayres had suffered considerably from extraordinary floods. Important postal reforms were in progress with the design of imitating the post office arrangemenls of the United States.

Notwithstanding the protests of foreigners the Government of Buenos Ayres persisted in compeling the sons of foreigners to bear arms, but commission had been allowed them to employ substitutes. What may be Written on a Newspaper. There is no excuse for the violation of the post office law in regard to writing upon newspapers. The law is explicit, and in order that ignorance may not be alleged as a plea by any of our readers, we publish the following, from official instructions to postmasters Any word or communication, whether by printing, writing, marks or signs, upon a ntwspaper, pamphlet, magazine, or other printed matter, or upon the cover or wrapper thereof, other than the names and address of the person to whom it is sent, subjects the package to letter postage and such postage sho'd be like all other letter postage, prepaid, or the matter should net be mailed. If, however, it reaches the office of delivery unpaid, and the party addressed shall refuse to pay letter postage thereon, further 'proceedings should be waived, there being no concealment or attempt at fraud, and the package placed with the other refused matter in the office.

A pen or pencil mark, made for the sole purpose of attracting the eye to a particular portion or article of printed Tetter, does not subject such matter to letter postage.

Since the newlettings we have three tlhect routes to St. Louis, two tri-weekly and one daily.

Also, a tri-weeklv mail to Bentonville in Ark-ansas, together with some half dozen weekly maik to different points in the Territory and State. Mr. Gallahcr informs us that he has frequently mailed and sent to the distributing office at St. Louis, as many as two hundred letters by one mail. This not only an indication of the intelligence of the people of Southern Kansas, but speaks loudly of our business transactions.

Mr. Gal-laher has held the position of Postmaster for nearly a year, much to the satisfaction of all: concerned, and for this last valuable improvement, he merits the thanks of our citizens and doubtless will receive them. Tle Problem Solved. Mr. Wimsett, residing in this township, a few miles West of Fcrt Scott, has been experimenting in the culture of Winter Wheat.

He put it into the ground late in October last, with only ordinary preparation. A few weeks ago, just as it began to turn its coat," we had the pleasure of a look at it, and a more lovely sight we never beheld. It was in the heat of much excitement, when man was arrayed against man, and we thought to ourself that when Bourbon county should be dotted over with such lovely sights as this, it would be conclusive evidence that the farmer had returned to his plow, and that our people would make war no more. We have long been familiar with the celebrated Genesee Valley Wheat, have frequently journeyed through that lovely region, when; it almost resembled a shower of gold," but a more luxurient growth of grain our eyes never beheld than that of Mr. Wimsetts.

It was harvested about the 20th of June, and will yield at least thirty bushels to the UV Goefme fact that Claims all the elements of a great wheat growing country. GST A large number' of people attended the celebration at Ray's Mill on the 4th. Those who were present speak of it as a very pleasant affair, the arrangements highly creditable to the people of Osage. We only regret the slight ciremfu'ance that prevented our attendance, although, not agreeing, with a majority of them on the English Bill, we are quite sure the Bill of fare would have brought us together and received our hearty support. The5 oration was delivered by Danforth, of Sugar Mound, who occupied most of his time informing the people that since, the democracy had lost the ascendancy in hi3 county, he had turned Republican.

If he does not serve his new friends better than he did his old ones, his opposition is not to be feared or his support sought after. With the exception of the miserable 1 a-rangue of the everything passed off pleasantly. A large ball was given in evening and the merry dance kept up until daylight closed the scene, when the good folks of the Osage and vicinity returned a weary if not a wiser people. G3T The large drove of horses stolen by the Rev. Mr.

Stewart, alias the fighting Par3on have nearly all been recovered by Sheriff Roberts, and delivered to their respective owners. These horses were stolen about two weeks since on Dry wood, by a party from Lawrence and the Osage, under the command of the aforesaid Rev. who has Jong been a prominent Republican, having been hon- ored at different times by being elected to the Legislature. -lie. was detailed by Jim Lane to preside over the celebrated squatter court that was the cause of so much trouble pn the Osage last fall.

We have been informed by one of the prisoners captured by Sheriff Roberts who was canght thieving with the Parson, that they had been sent South by Gen. Lane- to protect the citizens. VV trust the English bill will be adopted, as the Parson is a Republican member of the -Legislature, under the Lecompton Constitution'.

From this lake, a mile north, is a sulphur bank, covering over thirty acres and thirty feet thick, sufficiently pure for all purposes. The importance cf these two latter discoveries may be inferred from the fact that the annual expertxt on of Ir mstone from the Mediterranean to tho Atlantic States, amount to .20,000,000 ponnds, worth. 170,000 and of borax, 80,000 pounds, worth 154,000.

The time will soon arrive, when the qualified voters of this Territory will have the opportunity of legally and peaceably expressing their approbation or disapprobation, of this measure.

Since the passage cf the bill by Congress, and the adoption of the proper pre iminary steps for its submission to a voto of the people of our Territory, it is evident that the turbulent waves of, worse than useless, agitation have been quieted, and a hopeiul prospect of a fair and peaceful adjustment is presented. Every lover of hi3 country anc1 good citizen, whatever may be his political creed, if he will calmly and candidly review the political history of Kansas since its organization as a Territory, will be constrained to confess that the actual settlers of our fair soil have been made the victims of ambitious and designing politicians and extremists, who, except for the purposes of political and pecuniary speculation, have been, are, and ever will be outsiders. It is true they have managed to send to this Territory their agitators and s.atei:.f33.t?-cr partments Court of the residence of oi cost the Gjvernmnt aooutjuu tdences of our citizens- tort t-- a. mm aumm lashed in storm and violence by every manner of misrepresentation, and.cun ning appliance as well as lawless force, to prevent the establishment of confidence and order suffice it to say that this is now beginning to be understood. The honest citizens of Kansas have come to the conclusion that they have been sufficiently victimized by political hucksters and adventurers.

They can, and we think they will, now, set about doing their own business. The opportunity to withdraw the internal affairs of our Territory from the national arena of general politics is given by this bill. This, we believe and understand, has been the chief design of President Buchanan in advising the adoption of the constitution framed at Loccmpton. By so doing, the people of this Territory will, at once, take the matter into their own hands, and in a few months by a free, full and legal expression of sovereignty, by the popular will, without inlermcdiing by outside influences, permanently establish their own fundamental law. The wisdom of the view of the President, in view of the past history of this Territory, it seems to us should, calmly considered, be sufficiently apparent to any one, however opposed to the Lecompton Constitution, to pause in his oppesition, in view of the inevitable results.

What, are they Reject the English as submitted, and we continue in a Territorial condition for years, subject to the wardship of the General Government, without the powers and benefits of a State sovereignty. We, as a Territory, will be restrained in our political and natural resources, and remain in condition subservient to the political designs and caprice of ambitious mtn of place, whose real interests are not identified with ours. In a word, we will be held in the position of a minor, dependent upon the General Government If we become a State, our growth in population, in improvement, in wealth, and all that, constitutes civilization, peace and prosperity, will, equal, exceed that of any other State in tho Union in rapidity. We have the soil," the climate, and all the elements of a great State. Let the people act in this important matter with prudence, free from partizan prejudice.

Theirs is the right to' the power, to choose and decide the question. of time the English were waging war with the French. According to this list, the English navy of a century ago woald bear but little comparison with that of to-day for efficiency, and, if we look at the Very large number of vessels lost, forieamansbip either. The British navy, at that time, comprised less than a dozen teasels of what were then called first rate," or one hundred gun ships, carry ing 780 men and a steam vesscd of war was an unknown thing. The list of ves-tels lost, according to this document, is indeed a formidable one.

For instance, we have the Tilbury, of sixty guns, burnt at tea in 1742; the Oxford, lost at sea, during the same year the Victory, of "100 guns, lost near Alderney in 1744 the Colchester, of 50 guns, lost on the 'Sands in England in the same year the Pembroke, of 70 guns, 'overset' in 1745; Love, of 40 guas, lost on Florida Re in 1744 the Swallow, sloop, lost among the Bahamas in 1744 Fox, of 20 guns, lest on the coast of Scotland in 1754 sloop-of-war Baltimore, lost near Beaumaris in 1945, with twenty-five of her crew Milford, of 44 guns lost on tho coast of Scotland in 1744 Maidstone, 50 guns, lost 1747 Weymouth, 60 guns, lost 1744 Gloucester, 60 guns, burnt or sunk, August 15, 1744; Tiger, 50 guns, lost Jan. 12, 1742 St. Albans, 50 gans, lost Oct. 20, 1755 Greenwich, 50 guns, lost 1744 Bridgewater, 24 guns, lost September 18, 1743 Rye, 24 guns, lost November 27, 1744 Wager, 24 guns, lest May. 1741 Whiteomer, 20 guns, burnt at sea on the coast of Ireland, August 8, 1747, with 17 of her crew Lyme, of 20 guns, upset in a storm, fifteen leagues off Bermuda, and all of her crew perished but four, with fourteen other war vessels, principally sloops, making in all thirty-five vessels.

The extract following, from a paper read at the recent Medical Con- vention in Washington, appears to be of such value, both to professional and lay readers, that it cannot be too widely dit'-. fused. It is from the pen of Dr. Lyn-' ddn A. Smith, of Newark, New Jersey, and is part of his report on the evidence of that state for.

three years past: Small pox has been more than usually prevalent in many portions of the state, especially in Essex countv, but the faith of the profession in the efficacy of vac-'' cination as a preventive is in no snse weakened but most of them believe that a perfect" vaccination is a perfect 'protection." In my own experience thia perfection is not always attained by Allen were found right beneath the place of the old tomb stone. They were boxed up and re-intered beneatn tho foundation.
