For tho Journal. THE WOBt-O-TIDE. Z Hot a ripple stirs the surface, All Is placid, calm and clear; There's a swift, dark undercurrent, There are bright hopes drowning there. The quivering lip must wreathe a smile, The throbbing heart mask all its pain, Though you stand by the untombed coffin, Where the one dear love of your heart , is lain. Though the flowers we gather are scentless now, Though life looks drear, and we long for Vn knr r.v-3 Yet we turn' to the "world" and humbly bow, Forgetful of all, save its stern behest. 'Bope and its echoes, joy and Its flowers, Love and Its blessings fast vanish away, mock at the shadows, yet live la the gloom, U W K Ov The visions still darken, night shroudeth the day. U Oh, heartless world, how many hopes Lie stark and cold where your surges How many loves have you smothered with . hatef ' SATi How many knells do your muffled bells toll? How much of all that is loyely in life Do yon wither and blast with untimely frost? How many joys have you hidden away ?

Editors J ournal I A man may read descriptions of a place or country until he grows gray, and be only imperfectly acquainted with it after all, while an occular inspection for a few days may totally revolutionize his ideas of the subject. I thought I understood Kansas tolerably well before coming here, but I know more in a month's observation than I eould ever have found out Otherwise. The habit so many people have of going off into ecstacies over a new country, and exaggerating and overcoloring everything, is calculated to do the country and everybody more or less harm, while it does nobody any good ; for, take it altogether, there is not so much difference among these Northwestern States as some would make believe; the newer territories affording better opeaings for people of small capital. Kansas differs very widely from Indiana. As to whether the difference is in favor of the one or the other will depend on the tastes and temperament of the individual. The great scarcity of timber strikes a Hoosier as a serious objection to the State, but this is compensated for by the more sunlight and air, making it more healthy; by the abundance of coal for fuel, and of stone for building; and, by the fence laws, three rails or boards making a lawful fence, hogs not being allowed to run at large. The timber is confined to the streams, is low and scrubby, but as the streams are so abundant, one never gets out of sight j of timber. There is no level land here and no broken, but ever rolling, like a sea in a storm, so that every acre drains off rapidly down some wady into a creek. There are no lakes, ponds, swamps, nor sloughs, and the surface drainage is most perfect. The soil is a black loam, like that of Illinois, with more sand in it, but the sub-soil is totally different from that of Illinois, being a gravelly, sandy loam, allowing perfect sub-soil drainage. What with the surface and sub-soil drainage, and the constant breeze from the prairies, the country is free from all malarious diseases. Fever and ague is very rare, liver complaint is out of the question, and dyspepsia is a word for which there is no use ; while the extreme dryness of the climate is singularly favorable to persons of pulmonary complaints; catching cold is rare, and I have heard no one cough since I have been in the State. But this very dryness is an objection with some, affecting, as it does, all those crops requiring rain through the summer, such as corn, cotton, tobacco, &c. Fabulous quantities of wheat, rye, oats, barley, Hungarian hay, and grass, can be raised every year, while with good management a tolerable crop of corn may generally be produced. Stock and poultry of all kinds are reared at very slight cost, but a man who wishes to confine himself to corn and hogs, and isn't particularly given to the chills, had better stay in Indiana. The stone here is an interesting feature. It is found everywhere, and is no where in the way, croping out on the edges of the creek banks, lying in

thin layers, and almost 'ready for use; it nearly all burns to a white lime, is easily carved, and some of it bears polishing. This country will doubtless prove excellent for fruit, but not much progress has been made in that direction yet. In the matter of schools and colleges this State is richly endowed; two sections in every township is given to common schools, while the State University, at Lawrence, the Agricultural College, at Manhattan, and the State Normal School at Emporia, are all heavily endowed with Government A fine system of railroads is devised, and large grants of public lands have been appropriated for their erection, ami tho work on .several of them is going on vigorously. Every kind of business pays here from wood-sawing up, and every body seems to be busy and prosperous, except' lo! the poor Indian." On account of the little competition and; iarge profits people with stMtll capital

cannot tail dome well. ; iticjsjoa way, Uprf eing none but theRepublican party in the State, but there is just as great a scramble for .office as if there were half a dozen parties. As far as I am able to judge of a matter about which I euro so little, the contest appears to be between the honest men and scoundrels. God, help the right, say I. The churches are all in their infancy, the Methodist church as usual, taking the lead. There is a great and an urgent work to be done here in planting the church. It is missionary ground, and the missionaries will find it anything but a bed of roses. But why should any one go to Kansas, is the question. There are at least three inducements to emigrate to Kansas : 1. Men of small means can do better here than in the older States, can get a vast deal more laud for the same money; can live in a smaller house, and make a larger profit on their investment. 2. Farming here is much easier, more pleasant and more profitable than in the older States; easier, because it consists mainly in stock and wool growing. More pleasant, because the weather is finer, and the roads like a turnpike, summer and winter. More profitable; the profits on stock pastured winter and summer on land that costs nothing, is immense. 3. Health! Ho, all ye weak-backed, ash-colored, consumptive, asthmatic, "... itk iii n iii ) ax" if ' , nver-grown dyspeptic, jaunaice, yai-ler-skinned and skinny people, this is the panecca for all your ills. The uniform testimony is that the country is as free from billious complaints as New England, while for lung disease it is fini. Alex. Sterritt. Republican National Union Executive Committee. The members of the National Union Executive Committee, now in Washington, have issued the annexed call for a' meeting of that Committee. Among the objects of the meetmsr. it is understood, is the election of a Chairman in place of the Hon. H. J. Raymond who is regarded as a seoe-. der from theRepublican organization, and to organize the National Republican party foT a vigorous contest with the Conservative or Philadelphia organization. Washington, D. C, Aug. 22, 1866. The undersigned, members of the Union Executive Committee, appointed by the National Union Convention held at Baltimore on the 7th of June, 1864, deem it expedient and proper that a meeting of said Committee be held at Philadelphia on the 3d day of September, and most respectfully ask the attendance of their associates at that time and place. It is suggested that the State Central Committees fill all vacancies which may have occurred in the Committee. J. J. Coombs, District of Columbia. H. W. Hoffman, Maryland. J. S. Fowler, Tennessee. John D. Defrees, Indiana. '"That man would be a murderer," said Mr. Sheilabarger, in his speech at the old Drury. in Columbus, " That man would be a murderer, who, after the blood of five hundred thousand of our brave boys has been shed to preserve the Government from the parricidal hands of the traitors who have attempted to destroy.it, should now be willing to surrendefit into the hands of the same traitors, without precedent conditions securing the life of that Government by irreversible guaranties against any efforts to destroy it that man would be a MURDERER!" he repeated, with startling emphasis; and a roar of applause which shook the very walls, attested the approval of the sentiment by every man who listened. The Result. The Newburn (N. C.) Timet says it "regrets to be compelled to confess 1 my policy ' has involved us in utter legal and political confusion." The fruits of truckling to traitors are not pleasant to the taste.

The Question. Hon. John A. Bingham, in his able speech for which we regret we have not space to spare accepting his renomination for Congress, thus compactly states the question at issue between the Union party on the one side and the President, supported by ex-rebels and Copperheads, on the other, a? follows : THE NAKED ISSUE. This is all there is of the issue before the American people. It is sim)ly this, and nothing less, whether the oyal men who saved this Republic, in the council and in the field, by the treasure of their purse and the treasure of their heart, who have given their sons, the apple of their eye, as a sacrifice for the life of the nation, shall be entrusted with the care of the Republic; or whether those men who followed the fortunes of Lee and Beauregard and Joseph E. Johnston are to be allowed hereafter to enter your National Capitol as legislators and rulers of this great people. This is the whole questiou, as is clearly seen by a glance at the two parties within the last month. Cotton in Mississippi. The Cotton growing Convention recently held at Jackson, Miss., report that in the counties of Hinds, Madison, Carroll, Claiborne aud Scott, they have received reports of only 323 Elanters who in I860 employed 7,624 ands, cultivating 84,311 acres in cotton, and raising 64,631 bales. These planters, the present year, employ 3,495 hands and have planted 32,222 acres in cotton. The Clarion says it is to be regretted that the statistics collected by the Association are so meager as to give the public very little idea of the extent or condition of the presen crop. What the public want is facts from which they can draw their own conclusions. The plan of the Association was excellent, but the people f.tiltd 1 1 take sufficient interest in it to furnish the required information. The whole amount of reports from the six counties mentioned does not include an area equal to one-half of Hinds County, and perhaps not over one-thirtieth of the cotton of the State, The entire cotton crop of the South in 1860 is put down at 5,196,000 bales of 400 pounds, or 4,155,000 bales of 500 pounds. One-ninth of this was said to be made with white labor, leaving about four and a half millions by slave labor. Of this, Mississippi produced 1,200,000 bales, or nearly one-fourth the entire crop. If there should be as great a reduction as with the planters reporting, in all parts of the State, in the amount cultivated in cotton compared with 1860, there would be less than one-half the land planted in 1860; and if the production should be cut off one-third it would leave the present crop of the State 400,000 bales, or one-third that of 1860. If the same reduction should exist in all the Southern States, it would place the crop of 1866 at 1,700,000 bales. We do not think it probable that the present crop will exceed these figures, and if it does not, the price will be sure to advance as soon as the amount can be ascertained. Progress of " My Policy " A private letter from Texas contains the following significant statement: " We have nothing new here. Politics run high. Our Provisional Government ended on the 9th of this month, and the first act of the Legislature was to give thanks to Almighty God that the Provisional Government was ended; the next was to appropriate twenty thousand dollars to the rebel soldiers who lost limbs in defense of treason. Farewell to all hopes of the true loyal men of Texas. Hamilton, Pease, Caldwell, Bell, Passchal and Baldwin are the delegates to the Loyal Convention at Philadelphia, an array of talent that cannot be surpassed in any State of the Union." The " Grand Army of the Republic " troubles the Chicago secesh organ vastly, It tries to cajole and humbug the soldiers, for whom it has contracted an amazing degree of affection since their return from the war, into supporting the Johnson rebel-saving party; but it has no patience with their " Grand Army " organization, which, it gravely suspects, is a " radical," black Republican " affair. But this is not the first time the Times has become nervous over Union soldiers' organizations. When the " Grand Army of the Bepublic " defeated the rebels on the Southern battle-fields, it felt very badly about, it. Its "friends" were hurt. We don't wonder, therefore, at the present nervousness of a secesh sheet, when it sees this " Grand Army " preparing to move to the polls as it did to the South. There is danger that its " friends " will again be badly hurt. Secretary McCulloch. Those who are troubled by Secretary McCulloch's political speeches, should remember the following anecodote, related by John Weutworth in his recent speech at Chicago: " I think the Secretary of the Treasury a good financier. Mr. Lincoln said, when I saw him last, 'I think I've got a Secretary to suit you. I'm tired of politicians, and I've taken a banker from Indiana, and I don't think he knows anything else.'
