OCTOBER 3, 1860. lAUOADS. We mast hare railroads is Kansas bat we mast not raa wild oa subject, tad, if possible.not Bake mistakes ib locating- them. The aataral roads here are so good, that prodace can be taken to market by rlbroM way with loo much facility for to plaBge ib debt to secure a more ftedy method of reaching deposatories we are yet ia oar infancy. We aad get atroag before the UttosatMl tMaoaaibililiea of maturity Wjamamu- with safety.

The child that aMamats to walk before it is able to karkfoara weight, either breaks down or beeonws bow-legged and deformed. Caarywg oat the simile, we do aot wish Kumm to be either bow- legged, broken down or deformed but upright, rm aad smewy. Hence, we are opposed to everiaadiag ia our in-taacyaad yoath. ki Bat with care we ch jcoaetract a few railroads daring the next tenjeare; i i uj inviting eastern capital to our aid may build as many as we need. Oae of the greatest evils resulting from ear territorial condition whea we ought now to be a State, the fact that we cannot, as a territory, legally hold ou( maaoemeaii tor capital to come into ear midst, as we coeldlf clothed with fall sovereignty.

In this respect at least, it a real misfortune for us to remain ia minority. where shall we build our first railroads? This Is a questieaof the greatest importance, and wjtea it is settled, the question of rivaling' among the; towns will go with it. And thu. bdagtbe ease, it is a delicate subject to handle but we design to be candid, and intend to take a stand which, if our unprejudiced judgment proves correct, will be acknowledged ten and twenty years hence as the one which truth and reason point as judicious and right. The first important railroad nhicl Kansas should buiid we leave private enterprise to be conducted as those having charge of them please thotdd start from, the commercial center of the territory end reach "out into the producing pert of the country.

Where is the commercial center or centralizing point? Undoubtedly it is Leavenworth city. We do not say this in disparagement to any-other point, bat state it as a simple fact of history. first railroad, then, ought to start, from Leavenworth and extend to Topeka, and if possible, or as soon as possible, a branch should ruu down in the southern portion of the territory, taking in the Neosho valley.and all the region that way. Such an arrange- meat as (his of course we mean to extend the road beyond. Topeka as soon and as (art as possible the fanners of our young state will have the facilities of 'transporting their produce brought so near them they will always be able Jo command good prices for the same.

Every dollar a farmer-invests in a railroad that he can eetity reach, is a direct hide the price of that which he produces. A BAIUtOAB WILL PAT FOB ITiKLT IX TEN rx Ami that is the increased prices it will enable the faiaw to realize for what Ua grows, and the enhanced raluc of all ilm land aear it will, in the time warned, aaMuat to a maeh as the road net. The railroads we now build, we shalt have as deer profit in ten years jast aow we do not design to disease poiat; in it there matter noagb for an article by itself. 'The sbxt most important question is, flow shall we build our railroads This fs hardly a secondary point, lt.is easily answered. Male the (freed leedwij or trunk road straight.

It used to be tho't that railroads mast he located along streams in order to find proper grades for coastracliB them- This notion is no longer entertained by mileoad men. As a rale, and it has few if any exceptions, it requires a much greater outlay to keep a road in repair along a river than away fwm it; andihe. reason is obvioas. Every stream of any impor tance has ahle-stremns emptying into it at short intervals and these are ever I 3 sabject to washings, and aic forever undermining- the Mad. In thh way they are a constant' source of expense never-ceasing drain apon the earn inffs of tile road; and besides tht, they are most kuiImI causes of accidents, as thelitory past has fearfully retarded: v- are aoweripl reasons for avoid as, matter of economy aad but, more thaB this, Mere is nefning- saved ir the 'start by following htrenm an example, tlie route be- frti Leavenworth city- and Topeka.

land jovial '-Knight of tho Quill," running the road in a straight lint ded the jp of the ElJridg- House, instead of along the Kiw river, is proposed by some the distance will be shortened 16 miles. Now the addition al cost of iron and work on this 10 mtlcs extra, will pay fur all the extra grading that will be required on a straight line. In other words the cost of the crooked or long road will be equal to 'ha straight and short one. Then what For all time to come there is a positive loss of 16 milts tnear and tear and travel. Admitting that the roads when built would be only equally liable to accidents, which.

we have already shown, and experience has proved the fact, is not the case) and we have 16 miles loss of lime every day each way, for passengers and freight, every day forever 1 And then we have the additional expense of keeping up 16 miles of useless road forever And besides these things, it is well known that roads with curves are harder on machinery and wear out (the rails) sooner than straight ones and herb is added another bill of expeuse for all future time Let it be borne in mind that we are not building a road for a day, nor for one generation, but for the future all along down the annals of time, and for our children's children, throughout all generations: Surely, then, we ought to act with wisdom, and not be swayed by the small side-issues of an apparently temporary advantage. 'Where there are no special advantages of 'situation for manufacturing purposes, therejsno policy (at least in a new country) in mating poimts on road. For example, it woulibe folly for the builders of a road to run ten-or fifteen, or even ttco miles out of the nay to reach Oskaloosa and what is true of 'us is equally true of any town in Kansas at this time. Between the two given points.rnu ti-e road straight, and trade will come to it. Running after trade, is also running away from it Railroads are equalizers, and the equalizers should not themselves be unequal.

Produce and rustom comes to the road it should not be diverted from a great point to hunt (he other. We have enough facts before us' for one article; and they are of the utmost importance are vital and underlie for all countries and all time. Txventy years ago, when the Little Miami Railroad was built, connecting Cincinnati and Springfield, Ohio, it was thought that roads must follow stieams and it iis built on that principle. That mistake costs th road thousands and thousands of dollars ever' year, and will continue to do so on to the end. It is probable that the additional expense has already cost as much as to build a road, and it is yet a perpetual source of added expense.

Aud after all the want of a straight track is felt everj- day, especially foi fast trains; for cars cannot be run as swiftly on curved as on straight roads and the distance being some 18 miles greater, there is nearly an hour lost every trip and with four trains each way per day, there is a dead loss oi lime of (speed aud distance counted) full eight hours each day on passenger trains alone. This multiplied by 313, the number of working dty in the year gives the large sum of 2504 hours or OVER 05E IIUKDRED DATS LOSS TIME evebt tear, on passenger trains alone. Count up the cost of fuel, of ltands, of watchmen, of wear all expenses, and the sum for a single year is startling. Multiply this by thousands, and the sum will presently amount to enough to build all the railroads the country needs. What is true in one cae is true in others.

The one leadini: idea for con structing trunk railroads, is a bee-like; and a departure from this policy will always prove suicidal in the ed. Railroad men of Kansas, make a of this, aad act wisely. More anon. Gmraor Seward at Lawreace Anxious to b'e aud hear the distinguished Senator from New York ou his recent visit to Kansas, iu company with a number of friends we started for Lawrence very early on the morning of the 26th and arrived in that city about 9 o'clock A. M.

Already the streets begau to fill ap with strangers from city, town and hamlet, from valley aud highland, evincing a desire ou the part of our people to do honor to the nation's champion of Freedom and free institutions. Gov. Seward and A. Carter Wilder, had sooe incog oa a "flyin" visit' to Topeka, and the procession was go out to meet them on their Vlurn, forming iu Lawrence at about 11 o'clock A. previous to which lime, iu passing through the increasing crowd, we had the pleasure of meeting many old acquaintances, and of forming numer- ous new ones.

The procession was forming, aud we had about determined not to join it, ti when our friend Charles Da of the Western Kansas Express, a social and extended to us a most cordial invi taaon to taxe a seal witn mm in ms buggy, which we readily accepted. A cavalcade of horsemen, and a long procession of cai riages, met Gov. Sew ard about two miles west of Lawrence, and returned to the city by the way of Mount Oread, from which eminence the beholder has a beautiful prospect of the Kansas aud Wakarusa vallevs, and a large scope of country above.below and beyond in every diicction. On the arrival al the Eldridge House, three enthusiastic cheers were given, when the assembled multitude dispers ed for dinner. A I three o'clock speaking was to commence, and the street in front of the Eldridge House was densely croud-ded with men and women, while scores of persons filled the doors, windows, awnings, balconies.and every spot with in a reasonable distance, eager to hear the peerless Senator in his first great effort on Kansas soil.

Brief speeches of welcome were delivered by Mayor Deitzler and Gov. Robinson. Gov. Seward arose to reply, but cheer after cheer from the immense crowd for some time prevented him from attempting to speak. After a time the enthusiasm occasioned by his appearance upon the stage subsided.and distinguished Senator delivered a masterly speech, which was listened to with marked attention, except when interrupted by enthusiastic cheers and plaudits.

The exordium was truly beautiful and eloquent, and the entire effort evinced the deep profundity of thought that characterizes its- eminent author. We would be glad to publish this speech but it is too lengthy for the limited space nol previously taken up. Gen. Nye and Gov. Patterson follow ed Mr.

Seward in brief addresses, sup-plving the audience with a fund of hu mor that provoked many a hearty laugh and enthusiastic round of applause. Iu the evening Gen. Nye and Rev. Mr. Kallock addressed a large assembly for two hours or more.

The Gen. reminds us very much of the ''Wagoner Boy" of Ohio, but he is not his equal. Gen. Nyo's humor provokes a laugh "for the fun of the while Gov. Coririn's is eminently illustrative nud argumentative, and sometimes very elo quent, aud will read in print much bet ter than woald Mr.

Nve'j. But after Tom. Corwin the Gen. is one of the best stump orators we have ever heard. Altogether we were abundantly paid for our trip to Lawrence, and arc not at all sorry wo went.

i i Douglass County Jail. When in Liwreneo last week, we will: others of our citizens, visited the jail recently erected iu that place; and were kindly shown through it by Sherifl Walker. We have never before examined a belter planned and more substantially built structure for the same purpose. It was designed, if we mistake not, iu Cincinnati, aud consists of two buildings one within the other the inner one consisting of iron, and the outer one of brick, with a space of nearly two feet between the inner and outer walls. It is two stories high, nnd contains a tier of cells on each sido of the hall above aud bcliw, the upper rooms being larger aud lighter than those in the first stoiy.

The floors, walls aud ceiling of the inside building, and the roof of the outside structure, are all made of iion and are fire-proof. The design is complete, the internal airau-gemeuts almost perfect, aud evety thing is made doubly secure. We cannot conceive in what particular it could be improved, either for or comfort. DJimcii State Robbery. In January, 1859, it was discovered that, from the evidences of State indebtedness delivered to Gov.

Mattcson, in .1853, some 8223.000 had been abstracted, that the same had been funded by Gov. Mattcson, and that State bonds hud been isxued to fiim for that amount. At the time of this the Legislature of Illinois was in session, and a committee was appointed to investigate the subject, and to ascertain if other robberies hal been committed tho investigation to commence after adjournment, and the report to be made to the next Legislature. The in- ves'igation his resulted in the discovery of an abstraction of coupons to the amount of $6,480. Bonds for this amount weie issued and deposited with the State Auditor, i trust for the State Bank of Illinois! This Bank is the property of Ex.

Gov. Mattcson. January preseuted at the State TrcasuiTr's office.lhree of these bonds, which were paid to him! It is said that suit will'be commenced at once against Mattcson for the amount. Couktt Convention. The Repnbli-cxbs of Jefferson County will hold their County Convention at Ne well's Hall in thw place, on next Saturday, at 12 o'clock M.

ThtYestiral. We are authorized to annoaace that there will be a grand Festival at New-ell's Hall in this place, on next Wednesday night, October 10th. A change has been made iu the time from Tuesday to Wednesday night owing to an other matter that would materially interfere with the first arrangement. The object of this festival being for the benevolent purpose of obtaining means with which to furnish the New Church with carpet, blinds, stand lamps, dec, we would urge upon all who feel at all able to donate something to enrich the table on that occasion, to "throw in their mite;" and then not fail to be in attendance on Wednesday night, that we may have a pleasant and social time together. The new church is one of the neatest and best we have seen in Kansas.and nil desire to see it furnished with the s-ime neatnessand taste in which the architects and builders have finished it.

We venture the assertion that no church in the Territory can boast a more beautiful chandalier than now hangs in this, and it is desirable that stand lamps should be procured to match it. It is the design of the Trustees of the Church to have it entirely finished by the time the Quarterly meeting will commence, which will be on the S3th inst. Let the friends lend their aid to this enterprise, and assist in making the festival a grand social entertainment, and profitable also, for the cause is eminently good and worthy. Dwtrwt Coart.

On Thursday morning last, before leaving Liwrenee, we were informed that a bold robbery wns committed at the Johnson House tho night before. The iron safe bebnging to that house was opened by means of a false kev, and money to the amount of about three hundred dollars abstracted.

We learn from the Lawrence Republican that the money belonged to G. W. Roy nolds, a boarder in the house; and that papers of considerable value were also taken; but the thief, finding them of no convertible value, dropped them before leaving the houe. fjlta. Fatal afray.

The procession, composed of wagons and banners, dec, was about an hour in passing a given point. The most imposing feature of the procession was the young-ladies car.in the centre of which stood young lady attired as the goddess of Libert.

The desire to see Douglas was manifested by all party men. His speech was of the same tenor that has characterized all his speeches during the present campaign. He spoke about an hour and a quarter. He refused to answer a question pro- pounded by je Indiana Journal, say ing wey suouiu saumi. some uieir own candidate for answer before offering such to him He alluded to Breckenridge in severe terms, charging him and his party of abandoning the princples of Democracy, and (braking some planks in the Cincinnati platrorm upon which he and Bfeck-enridge stood shoulder to shoulder in '56.
