EREEDOM IN KANSAS.

The reader of our letters from Kansas herewith
published, with the accompanying manifesto of the
Missouri bOrderers, will have clearer idea of the as
poets of the great struggle than has hitherto been
presented That struggle isby no means terminated;
and those who, for partisan or kindred reasons af
firm that Kansas lie certain to be Free State, have
no warrant for their assertion. We trust Kansas is
to be Free State; but if it shall be, it will owe liz.
tie to these prophesiers of smooth things. Kansas
will be saved to Freedom if at all, by efforts in spite
OF those who discourage and parayze effort by pro-
claiming it needless 1t will be saved because those
settlers whose hearts are right are embOdened to
speak and act for the Right By the consciousness that
they are but the advanced skrmshers of great
army, by whom they will be sustained and reen-
forced in the hour of trial. 1t will be saved by yir
tue of these very efforts and sacrifices on the part Of
Freemen which the Northern followers of Douglas
have uniformly ridculed as unnecessary and prepos.

Shareholders are represented n the settlers meetings
WITHIN the territory, and seem to have their full share
OF consideration and influence there; but they SAY
no'hpg mere OF forcibly keeping out the prospective
settlers from Northern States who are known to be
inmical to Slavery. On the contrary, they seem to
roar yoh as gently az any sucking dove, reseryiug
their thunder to be exploded safely at Western and
other Missouri towns along the frentier. Here tbi,
sort Of explosion has ceased to be alarming and can
never again excite sensation unless justified BY acts.
We presume many of these desperately resolving
shareholders will be the line settling their loca-
tions, so coon as their crops are secured; but we

BREAD OR WHISKY,

We have already indicated the necessity which the
drouth and the short crop have created for abandon
ing the wastefu mode of feeding TO animals usual
in the north western States but this alone will not
suffice for the purpose. We must not only what
would ordinarily be lost in that way, but We must
also save the still larger quantity converted into the
most perncious Of all forms of alcohol-whisky. 1t
is quite within bounds to estimate that hundred mill
ions of bushels of grain annusly consumed in the
manufacture of this and other liquors the greater
part Of which are poured into human stomachs at the
irnumersble drsmshOps of the country In year
like le53 when the corn crop was some eight hundred
millions of bushels, this quantity could be subtracted
BY the dsers without sensible Inconvenience to the
consumers Of food bu. in lo54, when the utmost yield
Of the country will not exceed four hundred millions
of bushels it will be terrible addition to the dis.res
to take quarter of that quantity of food for purpose
so much worse than throwing it into the mud under

New-York daily tribune., 1854-08-26

One of the jokes Of the age is the Navy Yard at
Memphis Its origin exquisite specimen OF
the sublime art of political log rolling. The place
is full 200 miles from the sea- and no fit for any
of the puposesofa Navy Yard than Brig Gen. Pierce,
late Of Concord, n. H., is for President. As Mr..
Atcbson confessed in the Senate the other day lit
was laughed at when first proposed, but at the time
" the Wing and Democratic candidate for Governor
"of Tennessee were in Congress-one in the Senate
"and the other nthe House-the Wing member went
"round among his political friends, saying: If you
4" vii only give me this Navy Yard at Memphis, /
Twill be able to sweep the State. The Democra-
"sc candidate appealed to bis party friends that un
"ess he could getthe Navy Yard the Wing candidate
"would defeat him. Both sides were placed IN
der this sort Of party duress and they had to vote
for the Navy Yard. Had it not been for this circnm
- stance, there would never have been Navy Yard
200 miles from the seabOard." This is candid
and toleraby complete history Of this institution to
which we will add nothing except that the Hon. Fred
7. Stanton of Tenn has been great patron of i,
the Democratic side, and no less man than the Hon.
John Bell stood forth as its champion in the late dis
cussOn in the Senate.
That honorable ody just at the close of the session,
having approved of most other forms Of squandering
and plunder determined to stop off THE Navy Yard.
They had spent 100000 on the works there, those
works by common consent were worthless to the Gov
ernment and as the easiest way OF closing up the
business it agreed make gift of the whole to
the City as it stands One would suppose such gra-
tuity would be thankfully accepted,-but No! These
uncomfortable jokers of Memphis refuse the gift on
the ground that it is mt big enough! Probably moth
ing short of dozen millions would be worth their
taking They say, and The Daily Eagle argues the
point at length that when the Government received

We had q sudden and violent thunder shower last
evening, with a moderate fall of rain-a very fair
beginning There is promise of more rain as we
write We fervently trust that still more-much
more-will soon follow. Two days of steady, quiet
soaking rain with the wind east-north' east, would
hardly be sufficient But we shall be thankful for
much less-we are thankful for what we have already
received.
This rain is too late to do much good to Corn and
Potatoes but will help Turnps, Beets Carrots Cab
bages, &c, immensely. We hope to hear that show
ers or storms have recommended all over the burnt
up portions of the country, which embrace two
thirds of the Free and perhaps Onethrd of the Slave
States.
Tpo o'clock A. M.-About 12I o'clock there was
another violent shower, with lighting and heavy
thunder lasting 20 minutes. Since that the rain has
fallen slowly until the present moment, when it
seems to have ceased.
Three O'Clock A. M.-The rain is over f.. the

among them the freight depot, machine chop and
car houses and several cars of the Hudson River
