THUESDAY, JANTJABT 18, 1855
County Auditors Eepcrt
AVc lay before the readers of the "Jef-
fersonian" to-day, a statement of the He
ooipts and Expenditures of this County,
for the year 1854. "We are gratified in
beinir able to state that Monroe is free
from debt, and that there is a balance in
the hands of the Treasurer, amounting to
81-23 53i:and about 83,000 due the Coun
ty, on the out-standing Duplicates, in the
hands of the different Collectors, which
aiaouut, we have been informed, will be
paid into the Treasury in a very short
time. We have no doubt this fact will be
hailed, by every tas-payer in the county
with gratitude.
This is the first time since the organi
zatiou of the County, that this State o
things has been brought about; and much
credit is due Levi Slutter, Esq , our worthy
Treasurer, and his able Deputy, Col. Bur
Dett, for tho prompt manner iu which
they have discharged their responsible
duties'.
JJ Mr. L. T. Tew, Daguerrcan Ar
tist, who is well and favorably known to
-jinny of our citizens, as a successful and
.skillful operator in Daguerreotyping, has
fitted up tho room on the second floor, in
the County House, and is fully prepared
to accommodate all who may wish a
true and life-like picture of themselves or
friends.
Having seen a number of pictures ta
ken by Mr. T., and which are equally as
correct as any produced iu New York or
Philadelphia, we deem it an act of justice
to call the attention of our citizens to the
opportunity they now have of getting
their likeness taken.
Gov. Bigler has appointed Mr.
Lewis D. Yail, Notary Public, for thi
place.
Attorney General.
Thomas E. Franklin, Esq., of Lancas
tor County, has been appointed by Gov.
Pollock, Attorney General, of this Stnte,
an office for which he is well qualified,
and the duties of which he will discharge
with credit to himself and honor to the
administration.
Look Out.
We learn by the last number of the
" .Vanch Chunk Gazette," that at the late
U-rm of Court, held at Mauch Chunk, the
Court instructed the Prosecuting Attor-
nv to brinsr in bills aeainst all person
guilty of paying out bills of a less denom-
intion than five dollars.
Aaron S. Dcch. one of the person?
w.:ivictd of conspiring to extort money
from Benj. Green, in Eaton, and who
was lately pardoned out of the penitenti
ary by Gov. Bigler, publishes an address
to the public, in the last Eatonian, in
whioh he declares in the presence of God,
and the world, that his dealing with Mr.
Green wa of a strict business character,
end that he had nothing to do with the
conspiracy- whatever, neither had he any
knowledge of any one connected with it.
His ftatement is sworn to before Enquire
Buck, and witnessed by Abm. Sigman,
D. fl. Neiman, and others.
CaSrBeardslee, of the Iloncsdale Herald,
goes in for all the fashions.. In speaking
of the man milliners that don the shawl

Kansas.
We aro permitted to lay before our
readers the following extract of a letter,
rora Gov. Reedek, of Kansas, to a
friend in Stroudsburg. Ureat. induce
ments are held out to laborers, mechanics,
and farmers to emigrate to the new ter
ritory.
Shawnee Mission, Kansa?,
December 24, 1854. $
Dear Sir.- I suppose you are anx
iously waiting to hear from Kansas.
have been fo incessantly engaged here
that I could not write you sooner.
There will be an immense emigration
next spring and summer, and the spring
will open about tho 1st of March. It is
a beautiful and fertile country ; which,
when populated and improved, will be a
nerfect garden t-not. The climate is a
most delightful one, dry, bracing ami
healthy. There are a number of instan
ces of men, whose lungs were affected,
being entirely cured, by a trip across the
plains or a residence iu the territory.
The winters come nearer to Indian
Summer weather, than "any thing else.
This afternoon we all sat for two hours
out on the porch as comfortably as you
could in September.
There will be an immense number of
buildings erected here next summer, and
building mechanics of all kinds'will be in
great demand. Masons and carpenters
commanded $2 50 a day last season, and
can do at least as well nest. Laborers to
quary stone, cut timber, burn lime, make
posts and rail, ecc., &.C., will be needed
far beyond the supply, and at the best
wanes. All is cu&h here.
Rich and valuble land can bo marked
out, and held until the sale, when they cau
be had for SI 5 per acre, that will make
splendid farms. I drove past a log house
the other clay and things looked so nice
and promising, that I stopped to talk to
the man; found him a Pennsylvanian,
(of whom by the bye, there are a great
many in the Territory.) He had just
du" a well, and told me that the rich black
loam ra-i twenty five fect deep.
When I have seen those magnificent
river bottoms, lying waiting to be taken,
by any one, who would go on them; and
tho good land here that people turn up
their noses at, and call poor land, I have
often thought of many of my friends in
Monroe County, who are slaving them
selves in a cold climate, on poor stony
farms, which they clear by hard work,
and cultivate by harder, and wished that
could transport a thousand of them here,
where their farms are ready cleared; and
where crop after crop oan be raised with
out manure, or even burning the lime
stone aroud thyn, and where the hard
labor, which at home will only keep bod
ty and soul together, would soon make
them rich. As for the roads they are the
tmest l ever saw. xour juuug wuu uu
.T IT U
expect to live by labor and cau raise buu
or 870 to land them safely here, with a
few dollars in their pockets should not
hesitate to pack up and leave on the 1st
of March.
The following extract of a letter, from
Gov. Reeder, of Kansas, to a friend in
Easion,.wc copy from the Sentinel."
Siiawnee Mission, Kansa.5?,
December 23, 1854.
This Territory, much as it has been
commended, has yet been undervalued.
I have -seen much of it during two trips
into the interior, and some shorter ex
cursions, and have heard more. In re
gard to the fertility of-its soil, and the
j beauty of the country, as well as its dry,
bracing and healthful climate, it is un
surpassed by any region under the sun.
Its beautiful river bottoms sometimes of
timber and sometimes of prairie, and
containing thousands of acres in one lev
el, unbroken table, with a rich black soil
from three to twenty-five feet in depth,
would make a Pennsylvania farmer laugh
with pleasure its fertile upland prairie,
not monotonous like the prairies of Illi
nois, but gently undulating so as to re
lieve the eye and vary the view with its
occasional hollows, ravines, and streams,
with now and then a hill of beautiful lime
stone its magnificent natural roads,
where you might drive a three-minute
horse at the top of his speed anywhere
without taking him up for forty miles at
a time, except at the crossing of streams
its abuudance of game, especially turkeys,
squirrels, prairie chickens, and coveys of
patridges, tame as domestic fowls; aud in
the west, its deer, buffalo, and antelope
its extraordinary climate where every
body cau live but the doctors its mild
and genial winters, and the rush of pop
ulation, wealth and enterprise, that is
pouring into it, in view of its future des
tiny, all couspire to make it truly a prom
ised land for the farmer, tho mechanic,
and indeed for every one except thoso
kind of people who have neither means
or industry, and expect to live by their
wits upon the labor of others. These
kind of people invariably go back dissat
isfied. I can not help thinking, as I
travel over it, and reflect on its future,
that if all tho people of the States could
know it as we know it, there would be a hun
dred thousand souls poured in before the
summer was over. The railroad now mak
ing and completed to Franklin, will soon be
brought to our border, and we shall then
bo within three or four days of New York
vand Philadelphia. Thousands of people
will then wake up find our lands in
creased to tenfold their present value,
and wonder at their own stupidity "in
bcinr too late.
Some classes of persons coming hero
now must, at first, be out of pocket, aud.
live on their previous means, expecting
to be remunerated in the future. xu&
there is one class of people at least, who
can make money from the time they set
foot on our soil. 1 mean building me
chanics, such as brick-makers, brick-lay-
era, stone-masons, carpenters, plasterers,
&c. and also laborers. They are the
first people neened, aud even last season,
carpenter and masons readily command
- ... . .in t i
ed two dollars and a Halt per uay, ami
laborers SI. 25 to SI ,50, and found.
perfect lesion of them will bo needed
early in the spring. Hotels, warehouses,
public buildings, all must be built.
Nineteen or twenty towns are laid out,
and must be more or less built up if the
labor can be had. The War Depart
ment will probably expend at least a
hundred thousand dollars in stone build
ings. For all this, to say nothing of the
work to be done in crcctfng farm build
ings, and improving farms, we have, com
nnmtivelv sneakinsr. no men. Those who
have taken claims will be engaged in
doin their own work, aud we shall want
n Inrtre force of men to take at the very
fhfi town buildinss. In
my opinion,Chalf a million of dollars wil
bo snent the next Year in that way.
Again the mechanic, or laborer, who
is earning his wages, and laying up mon
ey oan, at tho same time, mark a claim of
lfiO acres, which he can pay for before
the lands come into market, and can im
prove into a farm at his leisure.
A man can come to St. Louis as a half
price passenger for about fifteen dollars,
and at full fare for about thirty dollars.
When the river is open, he can come here
for twelve dollars more, aud should be
here by the first of March, which is the
commencement of our spring. We have
had nothing which a Pennsylvanian would
call winter, as yet, and it seems to be
generally thought, that the same weather
will prevail until spring.
The country abounds in beautiful build
ing stone, easily quarried soft euough in
many cases to dress with a hatchet, and
hardens on long exposure to the air.
There is also, under the surface-loam, an
abundance of brick clay
Tell yourjjechanics, your lime burn
ers, your laborers, and your poor farmers,
and the farm hands who labor by the
month at home for a mere pittance, to
pull up stakes and come. You know I
atn very cautious in advising men to en
terprises which might result unfortunate
ly and befor I left home, dozens of men
were discouraged by me for fear I might
mislead them, but now I do not hesitate
an instant to take tho responsibility of say
ing that they are foolish if they do not
come, and that they will thank me all
their lives, if they take my advice and
come soon.

Bursting of a Mountain.
Prospect of a Volcano in Arkansas.
We learn from the Fort Smith Herald,
Dec. 16th, that a mountain, about five
miles from Waldred, has exploded three
times during the lat week. Tho explo
sions were very loud aud terriGo, causing
the earth around to quaket throwing up
stones and earth, and filling the atmos
phere with clouds of dust and smoke.
The report of ono of tho explosions was
heard in the vicinity of that town a few
morniugs since a distance of 45 or 50
miles. The earth on, the mountain has
suuk to a considerable depth. The peo
ple in the vicinity are very much alarm
ed. These are the facts as far as wo are
able to learn; but we hope to hear more
fully and particularly in afewd iys.
What does it mean? Are we to have a
volcano in Arkansas, belching forth fire
and smoke, and hurling red hot stones in
the atmosphere, and filling the valleys a
