Tho Knnsas Herald, printed al Fori Leaven
worth, has just come to hand. It is the first news
paper published in the bow Territory, nod is a
very respectable looking sheet and edited with
ability. The town ol Furt Leavenworth was
l,unded by thirty-two settlers, who formed then
selves into an association, who got the original
claimants ol the town to relinquish their rights.
The company expended 82,400 in clearing three
hundred ;md twenty acres o land fur the town.
The stock was divided into one hundred and sa-venty-five
shares, which have since sold at prices
ranging from 00 to 95QQl The town is situa
ted one mile and a half below Fort Leavenworth.
It joins the Military Reserve, ar.d has a rock-bound
Iront on the river, with a gradual ascent and gen
tle undulation for miles around. This place is
destined to be the capital and metropolis of the
Territory. They bare already a steam saw-milt,
a printing office, several stores, a large hotel, a
boarding house, warehouses, and a number of
private dwellings. The newspaper office is some
what primitive in style at present. It is under a
tent, and the compositors' stands are placed under
an elm tree in the open air. The editor, in addi
tion to bis other arduous duties, says he has pack
id wood, built fires, cooked for himself and com
positors, fought Bsasffluito! and slept on prairie
bay on the ground, besides superintending build
ing a Iiojsp. FIis writing desk is a big shingle
lying on his km-es. Mis seat is on the bare
ground, a verv good (oundation for giving stabili
ty to his political principles, which are Democratic.
The territory lies partly between the ilTili and
3Sih degrees of latitude on the south, and the 40th
degree on the north, from the western boundary
of Missouri to the eastern boundary of Utah, on
the summit u! the Rcky mountains, rnesu lim

tho Territory, was expected to arrive in Kansas
about the 5th of October, lie was born in Etston,

day ol July. 1S:)7. The editor of the Herald
gives a very favorable account of the soil and
climate. The country i- well watered by numer
ous small streams and tributaries of Hie Mis

these btrcarns re well u undid aritfa a heavv

over M-bMy bed", ami MtTording a constant and

A great raffle took piace recently in San Fran
cisco, the gruiid ptiz in which 10,000 was
wen by a young man named Kelley. A little girl
aomcd Anna Maria Qulnn was selected to draw
the numbers irom the wheel. The excitement at
the drawing is described as having been intense.
Al! eyes were fixed on the wh'il, and all tegn
to cl.unor fur the commencement of operations.
Slowly the wheel hegan to turn, and every revolu
tion sent the ho Liund coursing through the veins
i.' those who had invested their money in tick
ets, and stood atnmtfg the ranks ol those who wor
shipped at the shrine ol the - tickle goddess. "
Quicker and quicker revolved the wh-el, and
more intense became the excitement, and when it
Skipped, every tongne was hushed, everv breath
m Unwu, acl even the tailing of a ptn could
distinctly heard in the vast multitude assembled.
The little girl put in her hand, took out a ticket,
nud handed it to the president, who, mi a clar
anJ distinct tone, sioulv utter- d the words "iVJ,-
i-."0" which l l v. ith icy coldness upon the
henrt of every budv preseul but one man, who,
on the extreme verge of the crowd, jumped w ildly
forward, exclaiming ut the top of his voice, "that's
me ! "
The Ch k Rein.
V bell Stewpvd harnesses his horse for drug
ging brick up a grade, the horse's bend is pulled
btck towards his tail and anchored there hy the
senseless and merciless check rein. The arrange
ment is unnatural ; the animal is constrained by
it. He must inevitably lose strength by it, for it
disturbs the vital foice and induct s an unna'ural
action in the muscles of the neck, h"d, should
ers, and mouth. There are actually less energy
and vigor left for (he limbs and ch st than there
wou'd he i: the stupid contrivance wcr jerked
ofT and thrown over the nearest fence. It reason
cannot teach this promptly to an- man, just let
him try the experiment by putting a martingale
upon himself and go to wrestling, or putting a
check in the jaws of a boxer that shall extend
down his hack to bis belt.
Who bt side the Uri'ish use the check rein, sav
ing their general imitators, the Americans ? The
French do not use it ; the Germans do not ; ih.
Indians and Spaniards of South America, who
literally live on horseback and are perfect horse
men, no not ; the Spaniards uf Europe do not, nor
do the 1 urks. I he m st observant and most nat
ural people in the world are free from this mis
chievous error. It is strange to us that the En
glish and ourselves did not, years and years ago,
reason upon the constantly-witnessed fact that
when a check-rein was looked at a tavern sloop
or in a stable the poor hors. aluat,s stretched out
his neck and hung dow n his head. That was his
language for saying that tho strap hurt hum and
wearied him, and that he was heartily glad to be
relieved lom if.
The genius that first proposed the mechanical
tea! of luting himself up by the seat of his breech
es must have heen the author of the theory that
the check rein held the horse up and k( pt him
from falling. The mechanical action in the two
cases must be precisely the same. If the reader
w ill reflect for a moment he will sec that no sus
pending power can be derivnd except f-om without
the animal. A post, tree, or beam is just as in
dispensable to the support of a horse as to the
support of a man intent on suicide. A horse can't
hang himself up in the air by the terrets on his
back any more than a man can by pulling up
wards at his neckhandkerc iiief.
The check rein should be abolished. It wastes
motive power. Its use is unhealthy, for it disturbs
the otltcrwise naturally and equally distributed
vital forces. It shorten the lile of the horse. It
diminishes his speed and lessens the free and quick
action, so essential to the animal's safety and that
of his driver. It is of no use, and cannot confer
dignity or grace to an animal that was made by
the Lord. Had man got up the horse, check
reins and all sorts of contrivances would have
been allowable not only, but perhaps necessary ;
but the work of the Great Artist cannot be im
proved upon.
Brethren of the press, let us emancipate the
horse from the British check rein. Buffalo Dem

The C otton Crop.
A Mississippi correspondent of the Mobile Ad
vertiser, gives the following views and estimates
in relation to the cotton crop :
Dear Sir ; In compliance with my promise
made to you, I now give you my views of the
crops of the country west of the Bigby river. The
crop of cotton of Lauderdale, New ton, Ncshobee,
Winston and Chickasaw, will be less by one-thud,
than was produced lust year in the same counties.
On the creek bottoms the yield will be nearer an
average, but the ridges burnt up in the very long
drought that has prevailed throughout this section.
The corn crop in these counties is generally good
rather over an average,
In this (Kemper) county, the cotton crop wHI
be a fraction less than last year, the eastern part
of the county yielding more, and the west, and
especially the south-west, less. Crops of corn are
better in this county than last year. Since the
10;h of August, there has been no bloom on the
cotton, and usually you know, blooms to the 10th
of September are expected to make cotton with a
medium frost. The effect of this is there will be
no top crop made, and the middle crop of bolls,
too, is light. In Noxubee and Lowndes full as
much cotton will be produced as in the former
year, and in Monroe county more, especially on
the west side of the river ; but the crop is all light
on the eastern side in Monroe, Lowndes, Pickens
and G ret ne. The crop of Sumpter is decidedly
lighter than the former one, in fact, except in very
small districts in that county, not much over half
a fair average yield will be gathered. Since the
the fodder is partly pulled (as it was nearly burnt
up oti the stalk the general estimate of the corn
crop is less than before, and railioad contractors
cannot now engage it at Itss than 50 to GO cents
per bushel, whereas last year at this time 40 cents
was the fullest price asked.
1 have just read two letters from Jackson Parish,
La., and Harrison county, Texas, and the writers
say in a large district, of 100 miles around them,
not over half crops of cotton can be possibly
gathered, and many planters will not realize over
200 to 100 lbs. average, while occasionally a
bottom h.rm will yield 600 to 1000 lbs. Both
these districts are upland country, and have not
retained forms, owing to tiie extreme drought that
has prevailed with them. Travellers report the
crrp of north and west Mississippi, in the direction
of Memphis, Tenn., as being poorer than in this
section. The recent private letters that I have
seen from Benton, Talladega, and Coosa counties,
Ala., are less favorable to the crop than the pub
lished notices of the presses. I cannot think that
the crop received nt jour city will exceed, if it
reaches, 450,000 bales, and I doubt if the New
Orleans receipts are any larger than in the past
season, It is now not claimed by any that the
Georgia and South Carolina crop can even rnual
the pst, and the recent accounts from Texas
represent tho prospect us less promising there than
even early in August. Many think the time of
frost ono late fail usually cause an increase of crop,
but this year these causes will riot affect the yield,
as in many districts the cotton crop is now all
op'n. My opinion is that the crop ol this year
will not equal the past crop, and may not exceed
2,700,000 bales.
Wohms. As this is the season of the year when
worms are most formidable among children, tho
proprietors ol M'Lane's Vermifuge !eg leave to
call the attention of parents to its virtues for the
expelling of these annoying, and often fatal ene
mies of children, 't was invented by a physician
of great experience ii Virginia, w ho, after having
used it for severul y'ars in his own practice, and
found its success so universal, was induced at last
to offer it to the public . s a cheap, hut certain and
excellent medicine. It has since become justly
popular throughout the United States, as the most
efficient Vermifuge ever known, and tho demand
has been steadily on the increase since its first in
troduction to the public.
0O Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.
AT Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, and take none
else. All other Vermifuges, in comparison, are
worthless. Dr. M'Lane's genuine Vermifuge, also
his Celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all
respectable Drug Stores in the United States and
Canada. 2w
