The land offices of Kansas will be open
ed soon, but at what precise time it is im
possible to say. Three nfouth'S are al
lowed for the payment of pre-emptions af
ter the offices are opened. The land is
then offered at public auction, after which
rt is liable to private entry. Land W ar
rants can probably be used in payment for
pre-emptions. No man who has made
and kept a claim by a genuine residence
need be in fear of losing it. The Set
tlers will protect each other’s claims while
necessarily absent for their families, or on
business. The Indian reservation are now
open for settlement. The Shawuee lands
south of the Kansas river and near its
mouth, will lie open for pre-emption in a
few weeks, and offer excellent chances for
farms. The 16th and 32d sections of
every township are reserved for school pur
poses, and cannot be pre-empted or enter
ed at the land office. Those who settle
on these lands will have a long time for
payment, but must expect to pay a high
price. We shall soon be in receipt of
more accurate information,as to opening of
la nd offices.
