COMMUNICATION.
MR. EDITOR :—Although there was not
much doing at Court last week, it was obvi
ous that a throng of business was on hand of
some sort, a part of which gradually became
public. The "American" interests of West
Township received special attention. It
seems that in the winter of 1854-5. the re
nowned Sam, had upwards of one hundred and
forty of the faithful,to greet him -in West—
principally members ,of the "Green Tree
Council." • Thepeople there usually attended
to their Township elections.without regard
to politics—voted by cliques. sections, and
personal preferences. When the oath-bound
clan entered the arena, it was evident that
Sanz could have everything his own way, in
spite of unorganized opposition. A. certain
renegade Democrat (Council Instructor) who
had became renowned for his success with
the Dark Lantern . in school houses, churches,
and at camp meetings, whose soul, conscience
and principles are dependant upon the "al
mighty dollar." He had succeeded hereto
fore in getting himself appointed Collector
of Taxes several times, and several times
contested the appointment of others, being
himself a candidate for the Duplicate nearly
all the time. The net profits of the appoint
ment in West are about $l5O per year, His
position with Sam. made appearances look
certain ; but, in . order to make assurance
doubly- sure,_it was thought bestir): have an
understanding with the . Democrats. Conse
quently he repairs to their head quarters, and
proposes that if they would -put him --on the
return for Collector, they might form any
Township ticket they saw proper and he •
would carry it through the Councils. The
Democrats, anxious to understand the work
ings of the new political party, •formed a
Ticket; commending and ending with the
most uncompromising opponents of the Secret
order.
.The Instructor calls his Council and
introduces the Ticket as follows : "Gentle
men, members of Council N. —, I offer the
following Ticket for our support at the ap
proaching Spring election. It is the choice
of the Petersburg Council, (the Petersburg
Council at this time had not seen or heard of
it) and is composed of good men, and will be
better calculated to deceive our enemies than
any one that can be formed. We are in our
infancy yet as art organization—it will not
do for us to select from our own ranks can
didates for these unimportant offices." The
motion was seconded and carried unanimous
ly. On election day the ticket was elected
with but little opposition. The way to the
Duplicate seemed clear. He and another
were put on the Agsessor's return. The two
Commissioners of West agreed that the In
structor should not be appointed and promised
the . Duplicate to the other. Last week ad
vantage was taken of the weak point of one
of the West Commissioners, and he was
wheedled round by the Instructor. The ob
jections. were pouring in, such as, that he
sold the American Party or the Duplicate—
made false rlpresentations in Council, &c. &c.
The small fee Counsellors were enlisted.
They argued before the Commissioners that
the objections urged with so much force were
small matters—they only proved a master
stroke of policy. A man capable • of practis
ing those tricks upon his friends was a fen mi
dable man in our ranks, and should he pat
ronized. The case is not Yet determined, one
of the Commissioners of the Old School
threatens to resign. AN OUTSIDER.
From the Kansas City Enterprise
To Emigrants---Xansas City
Kansas City is located at or near the mouth
of Kansas river, the only navigable stream of
Kansas or Nebraska Territory'. it contains
about one thousand inhabitants, seventeen
stores—diy goods, grocery, &c., one drug
store; smith and wagon shop:, carpenter and
cabinet shops, harness and saddle makers, &c.
Has the largest anp finest warehouses wei.t. of
St. Louis. It is the departing or outfirting
point for the New Mexico trade, and much
of that bouud to Utah, Calitornia and Oregon.
It is the nearest and best steamboat landing
for all the terr ttory . of Kansas lying south of
Kansas river—for all the Cherokee country,
and for a portion of Missouri and Arkansas,
equal in extent to half of Kansas Territory.
The nearest and best point, when settled, for
the trade of over oue hundred county seats.--
See the map of the Southwest.
Oue house alone in Kansas last season dis
bursed to steamboats in their business two
hundred and thirty-five thotisand six hundred
and fifty-three dollars and eighty-four cents ;
and at our city last year eleven thousand wa
gons loaded for New Mexico, Utah and Cali
fornia.
Its importance as a great commercial city
cannot qe overrated. It is the key, and has
been called the "door" to Kansas Territory,
-and the beautiful and fertile valley of the
Kansas, and the thousands of miles lying be
yond, and to the westward of it. Four im
portant railroads, all chartered, concentrate
at this point—the "Pacific," the "Kansas Val
ley," the "Kansas City, Hannibal and St. Jo
seph Branch," and the Platte Country Road."
It has two thousand miles navigable river
above it, ( Missouri and Mississippi,) with two
hundred miles (the Kansas) directly. It is
located in the centre of the largest area of first
rate soil in the world, and in the midst of the
largest body of first rate timber for every me
chanical purpose in all Upper Missouri.
Under the influence of a trade unexam
pled for'activity, and in view of its future
growth and prosperity, business, lots on the
level now command from four to six thousand
dollars per lot—and in one instance a busi
ness house is now renting per annum for the
amount of cost in erection.
Steamboats are now running from Kansa-
City to Lawrence, Lecompton, Topeka, Man
hattan and Ft. Riley—all occupying sites on
the banks of theoKansas—affording the cheap
est, the most easy and expeditious mode of
reaching the interior and more important
points in the Territory. For relative distan
ces and greater proximity to all points of im
portance South of Kansas river, embracing
two-thirds of the Territorp, we appeal to the
maps of the country.
Withal, we wish lo mislead no one, as our
city is no speculative bubble, but a fixed fact,
with litlas perfect, and widely distributed
among owners. We invite a consideration
of the facts statep, and challenge the closest
scrutiny of these representations desiring to
avoid entirely the humbugging of speculators
who would entrap the unwary by a great dis
play on piper. If any other town on the
Missouri possesses half the advantages, na
natural or local, pertaining to Kansas, we de
sire to be informed of such a town.

Election, Benj. Zimmerman was elected

Morrison's Cove turnpike road Com

For the Globe
SECTION 1. Be tt enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly
met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority
of the same, That Jacob Fackler, Daniel Bare,
James Saxton,George F. Bloom, George R.
Barndollar, C. W. hcom, George Rhodes,
John C. Everhart, Peter Vandevander, John
Long, A. J. Crissman, C. Olig, Joseph Criss
man and Isaac Kensinger be ? and they are
hereby appointed 'commissioners to open
books, receive subscriptions, and organize a
company by the name, style, and title of
" The Saxton and Morrison's Cove Turnpike
road Company," with power to constauct a
turnpike road from the town of Saxton on
the Huntingdon and Broad Top railroad, Bed
ford county, to the town of Woodberry in
Morrison's Cove, Bedford county, with a lat
eral branch leading from the most convenient
point on Tussey's mountain upon said road to
the town of Martinsburg, in Blair county,
subject to all the provisions and restrictions
of an act regulating turnpike and plank road

uary one thousand eight hundred and forty
nine,.and the supplements thereto.

Approved the ninth day of April one thous
and eight hundred and fifty six.
NEW Your, April 13.—The steamer Wash
ington, from Bremen and Southampton,
arri
ves at seven o'clock this morning, with Lon
don dates to the morning of the 25th ult., and
Liverpool to the 24th.
The steamer America had not arrived out
when the Washington sailed.
The Protocol of Peace had not been signed
at the latest dates, and the Conference was
less harmonious, owing to difficulties raised
by Prussia. Peace was, however, substan
tia:ly certain.
The British Government has despatched
two steam frigates in search of the Pacific,
of which no tidings had reached England.
The Copenhager. correspondent of the Lon
don Times states that the Danish Commissary
had submitted to the Copenhagen Conference
the proposal - for the capitalization of the
Sound Dues, fixing the gum of 35,000,000 rix
dollars, as the maximum of the indemnity
which Denmark claimed. The writer states
further that the United Stales having declined
taking any part in the Conference, the ques
tion would, in all probability, be resolved
without their co-operation.
Mr. Buchanan designed leaving Southam
pton on the 9th of April in the Arago for New
York.
Mr. Buchanan hrd gone to Paris accompa
nied by Mr. Campbell, the American Consul
at London, and Mr. Croskey, the American
Consul at Southampton. He designed visit
ing the Hague before starting upon his return
to the United States.
According to the London "Times," the
cause of the difficulties in the Paris Confer
ence, was a demand put forth by the Prussian
Plenipotentiaries to be admitted to sign the
treaty, on the same footing and in the same
character as if Prussia had been a party to
the Alliance throughout. It is said that Rus
sia supports the Prussian pretensions.
This took place at the meeting on the 22d
March. Another meeting was held on the
24th, but nothing has transpired of what took
place. The opinion that the Peace Confer
ence would vltimately resolve itself into an
European Conference is strongly believed.
The London Times' Crimean correspond
ence says that _ the war party still cherish
hopes that the negotiations will break down.
It may suit the French to make concessions,
but it ought not to suit us. They doubtless
consider they have done enough for the honor
and glory of France, and to revenge, the re
verses of 1812. Moreover, they cannot afford
a war as England can. Their army, how
ever numerous on paper, is dwindling sadly
from the scurvy and fever, which are playing
sad havoc in its ranks. The mortality is sta
ted to be one hundred and twenty per day,
and frequently more.
The Allies had commenced the demolition
of the 'enclosures and lines around Sebasto
pol.
Ismael Pacha is increasing his army in An
atolea.
General Mnuravieff has received reinforce
ments via the Caspian Sea and Tifflie.
The city of Parma, Italy-, has been again
laid under siege, owing to the frequent dis
turbances and assassinations taking place
there.
Sir Hyde Parker, the commander of the
English forces in the East Indies, died at Da
venport on the 21st of March.
. Sir Henry Pottinger died at Malta on the
18th of March.
Advices rrom Hamburg state that Commo
dore Watson had declared all the Russian
Baltic ports to be still under blockade. •
Advices from Persia state that Dost Mo
hammed had takeq possession of Candabar,
and that Persian troops were marching against
him.
A telegraphic dispatch from Jassy states
that a courier who was the bearer of a formal
demand for the union of the Principalities,
addressed to Count Wallewski, had been ar
rested at Czernourtz.
Advices from• Nicolaeiff state that a com
mission had arrived there from St. Peters
burg on the 4th of Mar h, and immediately
commenced operations Tor the abandonment
of that place as a military depot. It was
stated that it would be a free port.
The Manchester markets are steady with
