THIS MEANS BUSINESS. Everj preparation is being made to commence work on the Pleasant Hill roid, and in a few days the hands will be tearing up the earth, and laying the stone work, and erecting the bridges. an We hope to say the same of the Galves ton road. The directors are in Chicago, making the proper arrangements. The change of proprietors has inspired a good deal of confidence.

It was our only salvation; and although we may have paid dearly for it, by the great de lays, it is well that it is no worse, by sacrificing our bonds and getting no work. The consummation of the contracts in regard to the Pleasant Hill "road al ready shows good results. Changes of real estate are just commenced, and quite a numoer ot new buildings are starting and being contracted for in consequence of the commencement of our rauroads. predict tnat real prop erty will go up twenty-five per cent, in me next lour weexs, and teat ntty per cent, will be commanded within the year. Let us push on all these improve menta.

Qnee fairly started on the road to prosperity, and our destiny as a great city is assured. CANNED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. Some time ago, it will be recollected, our citizens received orders from the Supervisor of Revenue to stamp their canned and preserved vegetables and fruits, and Capt. Anthony, the eflicient United States Collector, in accordance therewith, issued notices, which were published all over the State, requiring such stamping. It is not to object to the 'officers, but to secure the people from needless expense, that we allude to this.

Undoubtedly they intended faithfully to carry out the law, and it was only a mistake of judgment. Capt Anthony is a most efficient officer, and was only acting under superior authority, and we believe has countermanded that. L. J. Worden, chief clerk in the United States Assessor's office, at once wrote to our Member of Con gress, who laid his letter before the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and we pablish the Commissioner's reply Treasury Department, 1 Office of Internal Revenue Washington, June 1269.

I whether they are justified at all or I not, in encroaching upon Indian lands, I a question on which there is a diver- I sity of opinion, and one which might be discussed with proht by the press of the State. From Clymore we passed up the west side of Pumpkin creek, and returned the east side. It was at the house Mr. Kennedy, on this creek, that we encountered the terrible storms of May 28th and 29th. The wind blew a hurricane, and at some points on the creek it was accompanied by hail, which not only destroyed the growing crops but cut the leaves from the trees, and even the small branches, leaving them nearly as bare as in winter.

Birds were picked up dead on the prairie, and in one instance a young deer was killed by the storm. We were fortunate in obtaining accommodations indoors and in a sheltered place, for if we had camped on the open prairie our wagon and effects must have been scattered to the four winds. Dne family, who had just come into the country, and were camped in tent on the prairie until they coujd put up a house, were left without shelter during the entire night, the rain falling most of the time in torrents. Their tent blew down, and was taken-so far away that they could not find it until morning. On Big Hill creek several houses were unroofed, and one person and one person quite seriously injured.

One family, whose house was blown down, went two miles on foot, in the midst of the storm, to obtain shelter. Arriving again at Clymore, we found we could not cross Pumpkin creek, by reason of back water from the Verdigris, and were obliged to drive back to Nealis's ford; Wo remember with pleasure the cordial welcome we received at the hands of Mr. Nealis and lady, who insisted on our sharing with them a few of the creature comforts of this life. From thence to the Indian town of Clymore, situated about three miles from the white man's town, stopping a moment at the trading post of Dr. Kountz, and passing on to the mouth of Big Hill, we camped for dinner.

It had been our intention to take this meal near the Indian town, but the Indians crowded around so closely, and peeped into our wagons so curiously and so cautiously, that Mrs. B. insisted upon putting at least two or three miles between us and them before we trusted ourselves or our effects outside of the wagon. Crossing Big Hill creek near its junction with the Verdigris, we passed up that stream to the house and store of Mr. not, however, without experiencing considerable difficulty in crossing the Verdigris bottom, which was covered with water, and in making a partial circuit of a lake which lay directly in our path.

We passed the new town of Verdigris City, which has recently been laid out about half way between the mouths of Big Hill creek and Drum creek. We learn that building will be commenced upon the town site immediately. Mr.McCormiel, of Big nill P. is president of the company. In passing up Big Hill creek, we noticed that extensive improvements have ben made since our visit here a year ago.

The entire county is being settled up with a rapidity, we apprehend, never before known in the history of any State or Territory. Fencing, breaking and planting are being pushed forward with a perseverance which indicates the character of the people who are making their homes here. About five miles above Mr. Taggart's we found tbe residence and store of Mr. Hackett, formerly of Eudora, Douglas county, and with whom we passed a very pleasant night.

Near his claim the town of Cherryville has been laid out, but no building has as yet been done upon it. At the house of Capt. Carpenter we received a very cordial welcome, and we are indebted to him for aiding us in increasing the already large circulation of The Tribune on this creek. The only post office in this section of country is that of Big Hill, at the house of Mr. Cormick, and even this has thus far been supplied from Oswego at private expense.

Our remarks on the lack of mail facilities in our article on the Labette river will apply with equal, and perhaps still greater force to Pumpkin, Big Hill and Drum creeks and this portion of the Verdigris. A saw mill is about being put up near Capt Carpenter's, by Messrs. Weymire, Rogers and we apprehend another would find plenty to do still further down the creek. Three miles from Mr. Carpenter's, near the home of Mr.

Labadas, is the new town of Timber Hill. Only one house has as yet been built upon the site, but we understand the enterprise is in the hands of good men, who will spare no pains to make it a success. j. s. B.

STATE IfEWS. The Topeka Record says About a week ago, Capt. A. G. Burr, lately of Champagne, Illinois, purchased the interest of Mr.

Harris in the Tefft House, and said house is now run by the firm of Burr Beasley, the latter gentleman retaining his interest. Stolen. Mr. John W. Miller, of St.

Louis, reached this city at 2 clock vesterdav morning-, and took room 32 at the Tefft House. On retiring, Mr. Miller placed his pocket book, contain- ing four 150, one $5, two $2 bills and $1 in currency, and a warrant for 120 acres of land, also a hunting case gold watch, under his pillow. Having locked the door, Mr. Miller retired to dream.

A few days ago a couple of men were traveling through this county in a two-horse wagon.

The wag on and horses, as the story goes, belonged to one of the men, and the other coveted them. On their way between this city and Muscotah, the man who had no team, but wanted one, procured some arsenic, placed it in some bread, and the owner of tbe team not knowing I lt, me of it and became very sick consequence thereof.

Bulletin. The Ottawa Republic says: J. E. Baer, of Harrison township, in this county, has taken the contract to deliver 50,000 ties to the Leavenwortn, Lawrence Galveston Railroad, by the middle of September. This is a large contract, but the well-known enterprise of Mr.

Baer is a sufficient guarantee that they will be delivered on time. During the thunder storm on Tues day morning the residence of John S. Hanway, in Pottawatomie township, was struck by lightning. It struck the comb of the building near the center, and tore off a considerable number of shingles. It appears to have divided, and in its exit tore off a large chip from a solid piece of timber, shattered the sheeting and rafters, and some fur niture in the upper room.

A person was-eleeping in the room, but was in no way injured. This case affords more than ordinary interest, because on the north and south ends of the stone build ing there are two lightning rods, which were put up some two years since. Also, two other buildings were struck in the same vicinity. A child eight years old, the daughter of Needham Abney, living six miles south of Ohio City, was bitten by a rattlesnake, on Thursday last, while out picking strawberries. The wound was on the second finger of the right hand, above the second joint They administered half a pint of whisky, all they had, and started immediately for Ottawa.

VV ben they arrived here, the child was unconscious, and the arm swollen to the body. Dr. Paramore was called, and after several hours succeeded in admin istering a sufficient quantity of whisky to counteract and kill the effects of the poison. At last accounts the child was doing well. A little girl, by the name of Nelson, about ten years old, while swinging in the swing at the graded school grounds last Sabbath, fell and'broke the left leg below the knee.

Council Grove Ad vertiser. Terriblk Accident. The news of a fearful accident have reached us. It occurred last Saturday forenoon, at Stewart's saw mill, eight miles down the Blue. Win.

Knowlton, while stoop ing to pull away the sawdust from un derneath the saw. while it was in mo tion, approached so near, as to bring his head into contact with its swiftly re volving teeth, which instantly cut a fearful gash, long and deep cleaving through the skull and penetrating the brain, and throwing the unfortunate man several feet away from the saw. He was at once taken up and- carried home, and Dr. Freeland sent for. Our latest information as to the sufferer's condition, is, that his life is despaired of.

flrmng Recorder. The Topeka Commonwealth says A son of Mr. Milan, aged about two years, while playing in the street yesterday near his father's residence on Sixth street, was run over by a team driven by a man named Boyer. The child was prostrated by one of the hors es, and one of the forward wheels of the wagon passed over a portion of his body. He was bruised and severely in jured, though it is hoped not fatally, Nearly all the stock taken by the lu dians in their last raid on the Solomon was recaptured.

Gen. Graham, with two companies of cavalry, is camped six miles west of Lake Sibley. One company is still at White Rock. Gen, Graham is energetically scouting the country. The settlers have all left Pipe creek, and the Saline, from Pipe creek to Fisher creek.

A detachment of State troops were to have reached the Solo mon Thursday. It is thought there is no danger this side of Asher creek. BY TELEGRAPH. Irish Church Bill Passed to a Second Heading. Rejoicing among the Orangemen.

A Washington teleeram to the Evening Dispatch says There have been so many conflicting statements published, and so many speculations set afloat as to the views of President Grant and Secretary Fish on the Alabama claims question, that the bUc mind mu8t be i Jf uncertainty a3 to in a confused state whether the Ad ministration has any definite or fixed foreign policy. The impression has goueout that there is estrangement, politically, between Mr.

Sumner, President Grant and Secretary Fish, the I primary cause being a disregard of the former's views in the instructions given to Mr. Motley. Nothing could possibly be farther from the truth. Mr. Sumner, as chairman of Committee on Foreign Relations, was consulted constantly during the preparation of these dispatches, and when they were completed, he not only expressed entire 1 of the course Mr.

Motley was instructed to pursue, but signified that the policy thus marked out was as firm Md vigorous as our foreign relations WOuld now justify. In fact, at no time 1 tag Mr; Sumner been in closer accord a leging that Supervisor James Marr had promulgated instructions that stamp I duty should be required on "canned and preserved meats and shell fish" and canned and preserved vegetables and fruits," I wrote to him that, if he had done so, he had seriously erred, and suchinstructions should be at once recalled also, that he should do all in his power to remedy the wrong done in the matter.

Comments of the London Press. London, June 19. The Times, to day, has an article on the passage of the Irish Uhurch bill to a second readme. It says the bill has passed by a large majority, and a peaceable termination of the session is now assured. The great triumph is not so much a tri umph for the ministry as it is for the power oi public opinion and the ma chinery of the constitution.

Looking back into the history of the question, it is impossible not to be impressed with the fact that England is. above all things, well governed. The Post says the great debate must in crease the people estimation oi the House of Peers. Their judgment fur nishes additional proof of the utility the upper house. The second reading is but a preliminary moulding of the bill into a torm.

it is better to satisty the nation. An analysis of the vote in the House of Lords, last night, shows that the Archbishop of Dublin and fif teen bishops voted against the second reading, the Bishop of St. David' in favor the other prelates abstained from voting. Funeral of Mr. Raymond.

Cincinnati, June 19. The Repub lican primary elections for delegates to the State convention took place in this city and county to-night. There is an almost unanimous feeling in favor of Gen. Hayes for Governor. AFTERNOON DISPATCHES.

Irish Church Bill. London, June lc. The debate in the House of Lords to-night on the Irish church bill creates intense inter est. There is a determination to force a division, but it is not expected before 4 o'clock in the morning. The cham ber is crowded with spectators.

Among those present are the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, and it is apparently their intention to sit out the debate. The best calculation reckons the pas sage of the bill to its second reading by from 12 to 22 majority. The general belief is that the House of Lords will strip the bill of its disendowment features, and leave disestablishment only. This is likely to prove more embarrassing to the ministry than a direct rejection of the bill. Rumors are raised here of an attempt to drive John Bright from the cabinet.

London, June 19. In the House of Lords, after the close of last night's re port, Lord Cairns spoke against, and Lord Hatherly and the Earl of Yarmouth in favor of, the bill. Amidst great excitement, the house, at three o'clock a. passed tbe Irish church bill to a second reading, by the following vote For, 199 against, 146. The Printer Douglass.

Washington, June 18. The city papers to-day have a number of letters about the case of the colored printer, Douglass, and this is our only matter of local excitement.

FTom oar Traveling Correspondent. SOUTHERN KANSAS. Westralia--Clymore Pumpkin Creek-Big Hill Creek Unparalleled I mini-ration Rapid Improvement of the Country Camping1. Osage Mission, June 7, 1869. It was a beautiful morning, toward the closing days of spring, that in company with our other half we started from Chetopa to visit the western part Labette county, and the eastern portion of Montgomery.

We had provided ourselves with a covered wagon, and with the necessary apparatus for camp ing, intending to make our home on the prairie wherever night might overtake us. Recent rains had given a freshness to the appearance of vegetation, and new life and vigor to the already luxuriant prairie grass, and to the growing crops. For about seven miles west of Chetopa we were constantly in sight of houses, where only few months since nothing but the wild, uncultivated prairie could be seen then a few miles of virgin soil, when we again reached settlements and signs of civilization. Our first dinner was taken on Lake creek, the wagon serving as a dining room, a rough box covered with cloth for a table, and the pure but warm water of the creek our only beverage. At night we drove up to a house on Snow creek, a branch of the Verdigris, and not only obtained permission to use the family fire in cooking, but received a very cordial invitation to lodge in the house.

This we declined, however, and were fortunate in doing so, for a heavy rain storm came up in the night, which blew in between the logs, completely drenching all within, and leaving the earth fiosr covered with some two or three inches of water, while we were fully protected from the elements, and arose from our wagon, convinced that camping might, at times, be preferable even to a house. A large portion of the dwellings in this county are not proof against a driving, beating rain, and it is often difficult to find a dry place in them during a heavy storm. The health of the people is remarkably good, considering the exposures to which they are subject, together with their monotonous and oftentimes unwholesome diet. When we consider the manner in which a large portion of the people live, and the recent change of climate, of food and habits in life, we wonder that sickness is not more general, and that ague and fever, or biliousness in some form, is not the rule instead of the exception. After a warm breakfast, which we could not have relished better in the most comfortable or elegant of dining-rooms, and a drive of five miles, we arrived at Westralia, a new town situated in the southeast corner of Montgomery county, and thirty miles west of Chetopa.

It is only a few weeks old, and has now two stores, and two others being built, one hotel, and a second nearly completed, besides several other build ing in course of construction. A public well is being sunk, and other evidences of thrift and enterprise are noticeable. Among the business men here are Messrs. Crawford, Dennis, Longer, Hines Sanders, and Mr. Fager the latter is recently from near Prairie City, Douglas county.

His family is at Chetopa, but he is putting up a business house here, and we understand has an interest in the town. The immigration which is flocking into this county is surprising. all the desirable timber claims are already taken, both on the Verdigris and its tributary streams. We learn that there are settlements eight and ten miles west of the Verdigris. The most of them are on what is called the strip," it being claimed that the tract of land, known as the Cherokee strip, which is a tract, two and one-fourth miles wide, extending along the southern portion of Cherokee and Labette counties, also extends along the southern portions of Montgomery, and in fact to the western line the State.

How the authorities at Washington will decide the matter is yet to be ascertained. Some of the settlers have already made extensive improvements. One colored man, by the name of Scott, has nearly a quarter-section under fence. Neither he nor his family can read, yet he takes The Tribune, remarking that they had good white neighbors who would come and read for them. If some of the colored people of Lawrence could see the home which Mr.

Scott has, with his own hands, secured for himself, they would be prompt-ed to give up their miserable hovels, the wood-saw and the hod, and try their fortunes here. To such we can almost insure success, providing they practice strict and close economy, have continued perseverance and untiring industry. Without these they can scarcely hope to keep the wolf from the door. Just one mile from Westralia, but in the southwest corner of Labette county, is the town of Clymore. It is situated on creek, near its junction with the Verdigris.

It has three stores, a hotel, blacksmith shop and school house, besides some other buildings in course of construction. Of course the two are rival towns, but we predict the time is not far distant when they will lay aside their rivalry and become one. Tne Verdigris valley will soon sustain a large town near the southern line of the State, and we see no reason why it should sot be on the present sites of Westralia and Clymore. Messrs. Uoffey and Wilson, of the-topa, have just put up a steam saw mill on the Verdigris, convenient to both towns, and building need no longer be restricted by the want of lumber.

Well, then, Clarke didn't. We could have told that in a two-line article, if you hadn't talked so much about it. FROM OSAGE MISSION. Good "Words for the Tribune Condition of Matters on the Osage Lands Large Immigration Good Crops Osage Diminished Reserve. Osage Mission, Kansas, June 16, 1869.

Editor Tribune The enterprise exhibited by the Tribune in giving to anxious settlars, in its issue of the 13th and before any other paper the State, not (only the recent deci sion of the Department of the Interior upon the question of the Osage lands, also a correct and plain map of these lands, with a short and reliable statement of the faots, thereby showing a glance to every reader the true status of affairs, is additional testimony support of the universal judgment of people that The Tribune is, and will remain under its present adminis tration, the leading paper of Kansas. The bold and independent stand which the Tribune has taken from the beginning, and so consistently main tained, upon all questions concerning the contest between the settlers and the land thieves, the fearlessness with which has advocated the settlers in their rights, and denounced the railroad speculators in their avaricious attempts to wrest from the settlers their homes, has endeared the to them, and made it a welcome visitor to nearly overy home in our county. It is to the Tribune and the other papers of the State that have advocated their cause, and to the untiring efforts our faithful Representative, Hon. Sidney Clarke, that the settlers will ever award the honor of having gained for them the victory over their antagonists, who sought, as is generally believed, by bribery and every other corrupt means, to obtain possession of all these lands, and to extort from the industrious fron tiersmen exorbitant prices, or to drive them bankrupt from the homes which, under all the difficulties and privations of a frontier life, from a desert they had made to blossom with productive beauty. The construction put upon the reso lution of April 10th, 1869, by the Department of the Interior, is very favorable to the settlers, and gives general satisfaction.

The railroad will get com paratively little of the lands, in this and Labette counties the most valuable portion of them having been settled upon previous to the withdrawal. I do not believe there are a half-dozen quar- ter- sections within hve miles ot our town that cannot be entered under the resolution mentioned. Immigration is pouring in upon us from all directions; the amount and rapidity of improvement is unprecdent-ed. Our town is growing like magic, and scarcely a day passes without witnessing the erection of some new building, the laying out of some new street, the building of some needed sidewalk or other substantial improvement The recent decision in the mandamus case concerning our. county seat having resulted in our favor, has given a new impetus to our town.

Let us now have the Leavenworth, Lawrence Galveston Railroad, which we confidently expect, and our destiny a large city may be safely and swiftly written. Among the many important improvements which have been recently made, I might mention the re-issue of the Osage Mission Journal. Jt comes out enlarged and improved. The services of C. H.

While persons inclined to violate law and order mav be found' there, as in all other parts of the State, the proportion of law-abiding and peaceable citizens is as great as in any portion of our country.

The Land League is not a band of incendiaries, as has been represented, but is composed principally of good and respectable citi zens, and has a laudable object in view that of procuring a settlement of the neutral land question, so tnat tne prices shall not be so high as to prevent poor men from purchasing their homes.

We are using the Concord ttove. We like it. It does the work of a stove equal to anything we ever used- It bakes bread to a charm, and is very careful of the wood. It is simple and easily managed. In it all the improvements of the expensive, complicated stove are combined with cheapness and simplicity.

The reservoir for hot water, and the waim closet, we have never before seen attached to any of tbe cheaper stoves. R. CORDLEY, Pastor Congregational Church. Messrs.

The contrary opinion was published in almost every paper in the State. RESPONSIYE. Any one can get along comfortably with the Lawrence Tribune by treating it pleasantly and persuasively. Its veteran editor is a marvel of good nature, while you keep on the right Bide of him. Nevertheless he is sufficiently strong- headed to be difficult to drive.

Were it not disrespectful ws should say he had something of the mule in his composition. Certain it is the more you swear at and pound him the more he won't budge. He braces his metaphorical forelegs, lashes out with his hinder ones, but stays where he is. We have never failed to get an answer lrom the Tribune when we wanted one. We were curious to know just what our cotemporary thought of Fomerors Chi scago speech and Clarke's naval academy appointment, and we insinuated that curiosity in the blandest and happiest tone.

The response was prompt, if not altogether satisfactory. Now, if the Journal, for instance, had have wished to draw the Tribune out, its triumvirate would have come down upon the sol itary editor like a thousand of brick. The result would have been nothing. indeed, there is virtue in moral suasion The matter of our cotemporary's is more ingenious than ger- mane. We tried to fiLd out exactly whether Mr.

Clarke had appointed an Ohio boy to the naval academy, and we only succeeded in obtaining the biographies of several Ohio and Pennsylvania lads, who have honored Kansas with their presence for a greater or less number of years. We did succeed in drawing out a mild disapproval of Mr. Pom-, eroy's crazy diatribe, but it was coupled with a general lecture to the opponents of that gentleman, which was more dwelt upon than the precise point at issue. We are certainly not among those who have recently lauded the Senator, only to turn away from him at a convenient opportunity. We think very little of him, and feel like criticising his course pretty liberally when we think it deserves it.

We trust that we shall have manhood enough to give him credit for good deeds, should any such ever come to light Wa alwayi have liked, and probably always shall like the Lawrence Tribune, ana it is with reelings of the warmest friendship that we put on record the judgment that that paper can dodge an issue more happily and. ingeniously than any omer wiuun the circle or our ac quaintance. We publish the above because we like it; but if vra didn't like it, we' would give it anyhow, because the Journal would be sure to garble it Taken al- together, it is ft good thing but quotations might be made from it which would be like hash without seasoning.
