Sir Below we give' a fetter from Kansas,
Copied• from the rhiladelphili Ledger. It
would seeutfrom the statements of the writer,
- that the tide of emigration from the'• free
States is setting into that country so rapidly
now, as probably, if, it _shalt continue, •to
thwart entirely the aims andpurposes of the
repeaters of the Miasmal' Line. We. noticed
letter in the Philadelphia Re,gisffr last
week. and also one in; the New. York Chris
.
tiara Observer, agreeing that Karsias is- quite
likely to be rescued frOm the blight of Slavery.
Let the North continue to put forth every ex
ertion to that end. Nebraska in all 'human

Of the two territories 'greatly prefer Kan

anything you eF r saw • in Penesylvania. 2 --
This stops to be the general opinion, and the
\ttae of emigration '
Which tended to /Nebraska,
has noir changed to Kansas. Only a
.'few
dayslaince a large party (some hundreds) of
Germans, who had started for Nebraska, left
the steiimboat at the mouth , of 'the Kansai •
and entered the Kansas insteaCor NebraSka,
as they first conitsiplated. All, the emigm
don froinaowa and Missouri is now to Kan
- MS. The title of the Indians 'will expire in,
Novemberond there are thousands of whites
who will then cross. the river ,here Tout at'
points above. Ati a, ferry ioniei few miles
- above here, the fer i ry man informed me that
he had daily averaged forty families 'across
his ferry. This may seem ineredible,but it is
true. At least 39 1 88 - . persons froM lowa alone
are believed to hare 'crossed the riier for Kan
sas befween this plaCe and Westport; and at
this moment there are eight or ten thousand
white persons new hi that territory.
In twelve.months there will be a sufficient
number of persons there to , form a State gov
ernment; and, mark ; my prediction, at the
next 'session. of Congress, Kansas will' be.
knocking for admission into the Union as a
_ sovereign State.. _
And now, gentlemen, you may ask how
about slavery! Will their. State Constitu
tions recognize slavery 9 I answer no.
.I.on
- the great Nemataw • Rivers_ there. is ,a I.rge
settlements of Missourians; I was among
them for three weeks; knowing the deep - in
terest felt.through the country on this
tion, I have made it, a special subject of in
. ouiry, anal assure you :that
_'l have never
seen one person who is in favor of slaVery,
who is now residing in either Kansas or INe
bracla. Ahc Nl:s,,KAirians give IL up ,as a
settled matter. j -
You may also desire to knew which parts
of the country are most to -be preferredfor
settlers. This is a hard question to ans wer.
In Kansas anywhere on the Vermillion or
Blue River counties Or anywhere betweeti the
latter and Gr. Nemahaw river, ,a settler lean
- hardly go wrong. I prefer the last named
place, and there I shall most probably end
my days.
In Nebraska there is much more sr,
'land than in Kansas, but as 1r eaid j)el
there are large bodies of splendid lan d
-• • L
, parts of the territory. ,
- I may also mention another advanl
which Kansas
-has over Nebraska. All _
grants for. California or . Oregon leave the
steamboatat the mouth of the Kansas, and
. start from Westport, five miles from the mouth
of that river. This 'is Col. Fremont's stating
place. They felloW up the Kansas a ong
distance, and ;then cross over to the Platte or
Nebraska; but do not reach that river till'
• they advance some •Inindred of miles west of
the ,Missouri. The' great highliay between -
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, you will thui
perceive, passes chiefly through' Kansas, and
this secures to the latter the great railroad
route. On ;this subject I- shall write more
fatly in - a fiiture letter. It is, or ought
• thelreat restion of the day..
I cannot close:this letter without speaking
of the hospitality of the people of the I.lppo.

FATAL Mrtomir.—On the 2d inst. , Or.
John W. White of Carbondale, accidentally
shot one Mr. Johii Clum, a' German.' Mr.
White was out a gu n ning,, and falling in s l rith,
Mr. Clum, Who vet), kindly pointed out to
him, where on his ;farm, be had just seen , a .
few pigeons. Some time after Mr. White had
entered the woods„ Mr. Clam, hearin cr
„, no re - -
port of the gun, went to assist him initiating
the birds. On approaching Mr. White, the .
bashes intervening were so thick that neither
could see the other, and it so happened that
at-this moment Mr. W. fired at a pigeon
which was,exactly in range of Mr. Clum, and
the ball, more singular still, passed through
the neck of the bird and the man, killing
them both, instantly. .Mr. White picked up.
.
the pigeon and re-loaded his gun, unconscious ;
of the furthert fatal mission of: his rifle ball;
btit upon fainting out of the woods, he j came!
upon the body_ of Mr.. Clam. :Helmand, iate

sad affair, and aided in conveyinc , the ! body
'home. A Coroner's jury was lierd, and Mr.!
