ONE MILLION DONATED.
FOR ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL BAPTIST
UNIVERSITY AT CHICAGO.
It was announced at Chicago, Sunday,
that Mr. Marshall Field lias supplied a
site for the proposed new Baptist Univer¬
sity. He has done it by donating for "the
purpose ten acres of land, valued at
$100,000. The tract is in the southern
portion of Chicago.and fronts on Ellis Ave.,
between Eighty-fifth and Eighty-seventh
streets. Mr. Field’s the gift fills the last of
the requirements of originator of the
university project, J. D. Rockefeller, the
oil king. Mr. Rockefeller gave $800,000
to found the university, on the condition
that $400,000 should he raised, and that
none of the total $1,000,000 should be used
for the purpose of a site. Tlie value of
Mr. Field's land, together with the money
already raised, more than completes tin
$1,000,000. It is intended, however, 0
consider it as no part of that sum, but to
complete the round amount, regardless ol
the Field donation.

Letters received by IN, I.. Eaglcson,
business manager of the Oklahoma Immi
gration society, in Kansas, from points in
North Carolina, say that a large numlwi
of negroes in that state are going the through
in wagons this winter to new
territory. Eaglesou says there are now
about 22,000 negroes in Oklahoma,
and that by spring there will be at
least 50,000. He claims they ought
to have that country, aud says presi¬
dent Lincoln and the republican party
promised to give it to them. He adds:
4 AVe are determined to t ake it any how
and we will make it one of the grandest
in the union. T favor Colonel Morgan's
scheme to purchase the Cherokee strip and
other lands in the Indian territory, ex¬
clusively for negro settlement. Give us
the Blair bill, the Indian territory, and
Senator Butler's $5,000,000, and we will
be content. Oklahoma, in my judgment,
is the land of promise for the race, anil
migration .the panacea for every ill now
