Fusti- jl' LEY, Kansas Territory, f May 27, 1855. $ Friend Sciiocit : As miich as has been said about the Territory of Kansas, being one of the finest portions of Uncle Sanies dominions, T am inciiucd to the contrary. The soil is equal, I have no .innlit to any in the U. S. but as little or rain falls after July until the nest April or May following, I am therefore led to v j believe that it will never be an extensive farming district. There arc thousands of acres of land without one singlo .stick of timber thereon. The buildings, therefore, must be built of stone, of which there is nn nhtintlnnee. of beautiful white HlUO stone, in the Territory. Many people have been greatly decciv ed, in regard to the chances in Kansas, for making money. Laborers have come here, some to return immediately, and others to obtain work for a few days, at one dollar per day, and then leave for the States, damning tho Territory and those who misrepresented it. I have no doubt that three fourths of those who emigrated to this Territory have left for the States and a greater portion of those rcinaining do not intend to make Kansas their fu ture home. In regard to the quantity of land, which will be fit or can be cultivated, I do not think, amounts to more than one fourth of tho whole; not because the soil is not good or that it is rough, but chiefly for want of timber and rnin. The timber is chiefly along the rivers and in the ravines; that along the river is chiefly cotton-wood, a wood which cannot be split to answer any porposc, except it be for fire-wood, ind it is vcr3' difficult to saw it. It grows along the banks of the streams am! never is rccn on any other land. That in the ravines, or a good portion of that which grows on the low land, near the rivers, is burr-oak, white-oak, asb,3 black walnut and a little cedar. A great deal of lumber used, or that which is to be used, for building in Paw- nec,is brought from St. Louis, a distance of about six hundred miles; but we arc likely to see things changed in this re spect, for the better, as a steam saw-mill is now being built, in the erection of which considerable progress has been made. Pawnee is situated one mile from Port Riley, on the south side of the'Kansas riv er, about two miles below the junction of j tho Republican and Smoky Hill Forks. i It has high and dry banks, and not sub ject to overflow. The landing is equally as good as any on the Missouri River. All along the north side of the town u a fino and beautiful bluff, which overlooks tho town and the Kangaval!cT, up and down, for some three or four miles. This bluff is composed chiefiy of white lime stone, the finest kind of building stone. Tint stone, when, first quarried, is soft and vcr' easily dressed. The buildings of the Fort arc constructed of this kind of material, and they appear very beautiful. Some timber, of a very good quality, is in the immediate neighborhood, but the military reserve covers the most valuable portion of it. Chctolale, Montgomery, Saline and Reeder, towns west of this place, arc being settled ; Chetolalc being the only one which is laid out; all situated on the Smoky Hill Forks. There is not a single town on the Re publican, and no settlement at all. There are a few claims staked out and cabins are about to be erected, but in all do not exceed six. Very little work is going on of any kind n Pawnee One of our party has left for the States, and some three or four in tend to leave in a few days. The Legislature is to meet in this place about the first of July next. Yours G. F: G. A Young Husband.

I Tho- American national Convention:- Ibis Couvtniioa which asi-ctnbled in Philadelphia a few weeks since, has ad journed after a harmonious session ou all other questions, save that of Slavery, on which there was a stormy debate, and a division of ucntiment that led to a disrup tion of the convention. In this Conven tion there were admitted seven delegates from each State, making the number some thing over two hundred, and which gave an endue ascendency in numbers to .the Slave slates. The Convention contained a fair proportion of men of talents, politi cal experience and sagacity ; but the ma jority of these was from the Southern states, the delegates from the Northern states being mostl' inexperienced men. There were also a large number of out aiders present, engaged in watching and dictating the movemeuts of the Convention The Federal Administration had its a gents there digging pits for the Conven tion. With the defeat of the Know Noth ings in Virginia ou the slavery question, they saw that if the convention could be induced to adont a slavery matform, an end would effectually be put to the fur ther success of their enemies, the dreaded Know Nothings. A slavery platform would destroy them in tho North and an- ti -slavery one in the South. 1 he AU min istration looked upon either course rs re storing its ascendency over the Union. On the organization of the Convention the delegates from Louisiana were Catholics and represented a state Council that ab rogated the Catholic test, while it adhered tolhat agaiust Foreigners. Q'hcsc dele gates were rejected and others admitted representing a state Council sustaining the the Protestant test This action is con sidered as settling the principles of the organization ou this point. On the Slavery question there was an animated and protracted debate, in which Mr. Bowliu, formerly a member of Con gress from Virginia, led off on the pro- slavery side. His position and argument was a kind of ethnological disquisition to prove that the negro race was inferior to the caucassian, and therefore that slave ry, was a benevolent institution ; provi ding a head of superior intelligence to preside over, control and direct the phys ical energies of the negro race. lie was for having the Convention adopt his the ory and go on with all its might for the increase and perpetuation of slavery. Mr. Wilson, U. S. Senator from Mas sachusetts, let off on the other side of this question. He urged opposition to slave ry on political, economical, moral and re ligious grounds, and he should strive in all suitable ways to circumscribe and hedge it in. He did not desire the Con vention to adopt an anti-slavery platform, because he wished every member of the organization to be free on that subject to do as he should be pleased. As for him self he would be bound by no pro-slavery tests ; Massachusetts would bo bound by none; the North would Lc bound by none. In this debate Mr. Bowlin was backed by a considcreble number of the South ern delegates, and Mr. Wilson by a large proportion of the northern ones. Slavery I and Lrecdoni stood front to front, and their respective demands were asserted without circumlocution of ambiguity. The result, as our readers know, was the disruption of the Convention on this question. Mr. Wilson was right. There should have been no declaration of prin ciples, as there can be no National party that takes either the one side or the other on it. If the American party has destroy ed itself by attempting an imposibility, it has fallen into the same pit, and been de stroyed by the Trojan horse that doomed the Whig party. Independent Whig. a Baltimore paper or. oaturciay gives the particulars of a grand fight between two frail women of that city. -When first abserved they were down upon the pave ment, one flourishing a cowhide and try ing to lay it upon the shoulders of the other. A bystancr parted them, and sup posing that the affair had ended,-turned to attend to his business, when one woman Elizabeth Simpson, drew from her pocket a pistol and discharged it directly at the head of her opponent, Margaret Hamilton, the whole load taking effect in her left cheek producing a frightful wound. Of ficer Davis conveyed Misa Simpson before Justice Lawdcr, who committed her to jail for examination. The editor of the New Hampshire Pa triot, President's home organ, says that the Difmocratic party is desirous of putt iug an end to all undue influence of foreign-born citizens in elections. Upon which the Louisville Journal remark:- "We guess tho Democratic party, if they were to do it, would be very much in the predicament of the fellow who, wishing to saw a limb from a high tree, took his'seat upon the limb while ho performed the 0 pcration. "As soon as I had done tho sawing," said he, " I heard something drap.'" Not so Bad after all. Although Sam was pretty badly flogged in Virginia, he managed to carry off some of the spoils, n the 11th district, Mr. Carlisle, K. N. was elected over Charles S. Lewis. As the elcotion of neither Gen. Bayly nor Governor Smith oan be claimed a3 demo cratic triumphs, it appears that the dem ocracy have lost three members of Con gress out of the thirteen. In view of these facts, the fusionists appear to bejrejoicing, not so much at their success, as at their escape from uttor defeat. JT3 One of the Syracuse papers say that last Tuesday was pay day on the Central Railroad, and that a fat Catholic Priest was in waiting at the door, and re quired a doucer from each man, who had to fork over from one to three dollars each.

The Van Buren (Arkansas) Intelligent cer of the 25th ultimo, by way of re monstrance against the contemplated re moval of troops from that frontier, com municates some interesting information as to tho condition of the Indians in that quarter. It says : Government is now organizing large bodies of troops to send out to the prai ries and chastise those who have commit ted depredations there, and have entire ly overlooked this frontier, where numer ous warliKe bands are now threatening hostilities which will greatly endanger the peace and saiety ot our irontier settle ments. The Indians near us arc brave and warlike tribes, and can easily form combinations which, if not early prevent ed, would cause much bloodshed and trouble to our border settlements. The roving bands of Kechics, Caman- ches, Osages, and others are now at war, or are preparing for hostilities with each other, which bids fair to bring into con flict the large and numerous warlike bands upon our immediate border. The Creeks, Camanches, and parts of the Shawnee and Kickapoo tribes, with many other scat tered small bands, have lately made de monstrations of hostilities against other tribes, which, if not soon quenched, ma' cause a general war among fhc different tribes. These tribes have lately been mo lested and robbed by the Kechics, Osage?, and others, and have held councils, arid were on the eve of giving them baftlc when they were r.Trestcd by the counsels of the more prudent, those who have con fidence in the professions of our Govern ment, which has pi5mised: them protec tion from such incursions: About three weeks since a large coun cil was IrcUf irr the Creek nation to semi out warriors from the tribes to punish' the Kcclries,- who commenced depredations upon' their frontier, at which there were present Creeks, Scminoles, Skawnccs,, Dela wares, Camanches, and other trrbes, who actually organized their forces and were fitting them out with arms and am munition to punish the offenders when they were deterred by the counsels of the more prudent, who advised them fo make known the cause of the disturbance to the Government before taking steps that would involve the whole frontier in a war with the various tribes. They have agreed to wait, and will in a few days hold another council and make known their grievance to the Government. Prompt and decisive steps should at onco be taken in the matter ; for if they once commence hostilities the peace of this frontier would bo greatly endangered. or tnc wcll-linown bravery of all tho tribes who form a coalition iustifies the improssion that the war would extend to all the roving bands. Gov. Wright, of Indiana, has declared Clay county, within that Commonwealth, n a state of insurrection. The "free and enlightened oitizens," in return offer a re ward for tho Governor s head. The cause of these adverse movements is the attempt of the citizens to arauso themselves and how their sovcrign power by destroying a canal, and trampling upon authority bv other acts of violence and outrage, nnrl the determination of the Governor to vin dicate the laws. The Indianapolis Jour nal says that thero is very serious danger that the citizens of the neighborhood, in jured by theso canal outrages, will, bo ex cited by a renewal of them to such a de gree as to take tho law into their own hands, and punish mob outrages by mob veugeancc, as thoro are enough men in terested in the preservation of the canal to crush the whole nest of Olnj county outlaws at on.ee ' ' 4- i tit. nts rtfo 1 fr-
