James C.

I find that the Secretary of the Interior, the Commissioner of the General Land Office, and the Chairmen of the Commit tees on Public Lands in both house of Congress, are opposed to the measure; but are all of them strongly in favor of removing the office from Omaha City to the interior, at a distance of from forty to sixty miles from the Missouri river, an order for which will, in all probability, be issued in a very short time, so that Ihe of fice can be properly prepared jor tho Pub lic Land Sales which are to uko place in September next. ' At all events, I am satisfied that the interest and convenience of the nuiriefous settlers of the Platte; Valley will not be i verlooked.

I think that tho people of Nebraska will be well pleased wiin him, and that his appointment will give gener al satisfaction.

Of the members of the House, 85 are accompanied by their wives; 25 by iheir wives and daughters, and 5 by their daughters alone.

As this Is the first boat which has ever bee it penal ly built for the Kansas river trade by Kansas men, it is but proper that she should be noticed more in, detail. The Minnie Belle was built at Paducah, Ky., u ider the superintenderiCe of Capt. Da vis, late of the Packet Alttfni, which plied between Alidii and St. Louis. Her ma chinery was built in St. Louis. The Minnie Belle is 125 feet in length, with 24 feet beam, and draws, when light, nine inches df water, and carries 50 tons oii 13 inches. She has a small cabin ca pable of accommodating some fifteen 1 cT twenty persdns, but was designed princi pally lor freight. Capt. Davis ii sanguine of his ability to nuvigate the river several months in the year. lie expresses himself happily disappointed in favor of the prospcts be fore him. The design is to run her lo Si George1 when the stne of the watr will perm t. as "he l ompa iy wiimg her are prmcipa ly interested in that town, situated eight miles below Manhattan. It will be to the interest of Lawrence, as in fact all the town on the river to sustain this cnterpme. Capt. D. promises to mahe an early trip to TeeuutSth and Koints higher up the river.

The LegMa luro of Texas, just adjourned, passed an act for calling a Southern Convention, and appropriating ten thousand dollars, out of any money in me treasury, to cefruy ex penses, in the event of a rejeclidri of the Lecompton Constitution by Congress. Thus it is proposed to take the initiatory steps for a disolution of the Union. The joke of the whole thing lies in the fact that ihere it not a dollar in the treasury. si 14 entirely imnxrupt. ine aute is compounding with its creditors.
