Correspondence Of Tie N. Y. Tribune.
KANSAS TERRITORY, May IL, 1855.
Nine months ago THE TRIBUNE fOretold of
short crops and high prices to come. Other
papers ridiculed it and called The TRIBUNE hard
names for using its influence to produce panic
and so enable its editors to make favorable
speculation in breadstuf. The tire has come
the short crops are apparent and the high prices
are real. One week ago arrived here with my
family from A, and on the whole route
found people suffering from the short crops Of
last year. Cattle that have died this Spring,
after being nearly wintered over, may be esti-
mated by thousands. 1t is nearly the same in
Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri heard of places
in Missouri where the people were obliged to
pile up the dead carcasses and burn them, so
great was the nuisance. Movers have found ii

THE SENATOR'S or NEH-HAMP SHIRE.

To he Editor Of The n. J. Tribune
SIRE observe there is apprehension that Mr.
Paul X. George may be elected to the United States
Senate from New Hampshire. think the fear ia not
well founded. / have just been in New Hampshire
ard am confident this man George has only one SIN
cere supporter in the State for that office and that
supporter is Paul II. George himself. Nor is there the
slightest chance Of a coalition between the ultra
Embellishments and The friends of Mr.. Bell. There
has never been foundation for suspicion Of that
sort.
James Bell has q host OF friends who viii astonish
the natives by their numbers when the vote is taken
They make no noise and though charged with making
alliances, make none and only ask for a spontaneous
expression in regGrd TO their candidate. Mr. Bell him
self is justly DESTROYS of an election If it be brought
about by the Spontaneous acts OF ms friends otherwise
not. He has been accused OF resorting to any
tricks TO obtain office.
My opinion is, that will be held previous
TO the election By the House Of Representatives and
that All election for the long term will be made first
and with much ess difficulty than the friends of Paul
X. George hOpe. James Bell will, think be elected
lie Senate Will then retfy the election Of the House.
ne question will then come up on eiecting FOR the
short term, and the candidates viii he somewhat
numerous. Hale, Clark, Colby, Il. 81. Edwards,
jonathan Garland, Christie, and others, will have
vote. and an election will only be effected after
sundry ballottings. The strongest will probably
win. think the people of the State would be sa.is-
ned with any one OF hall score for the short term
DO not belieye they would he satisfed generally
with any other than James b for the long term
Fun ell prophecy to the event IL involved in more or
less doubt. Ooe thing, however is certain none bet
sound man the Slavery question can be elevated
TO the Senate by the controlling power Of the Leesla-
ture At length, after much tribulation they have a
working mo joTity IN The Senate ard House who can
be trusted on Slavery Temperance and the kindred

WATERLOO YEARLY MEETING.

WATERLOO YEARLY MEETING.
Correspondence The n. Y. Tribune.
WATERLOO, Seneca Co., y. T., June 6, 1866.
Having seen 10 a recent number of THE TRIB.
USE sketch Of the proceedings of the late
Yearly Meeting of Progressive Friends in Penn
syl. anie, l am encouraged to send you 4 brief
notice of another Yearly Meeting of similar
character which closed its sixth annual session
near this place last evening. This Meeting was
organized in l649, upon the same principles with
that of Pennsylvania, which was formed four
years later The persons who took the lead in
the new movement were FOX the most part
seceders from the Genesee Yearly Meeting
of (Hieksre) Friends. They remained in
that Society aud labored earnestly and
anxiously TO redeem it from sectarian
trammels and the despotism of ecclesiasti.al
authority, until all hope of its reformation
died out Of their hearts, when they concluded to
form a new Association, based upon broader priu.
ciples AID imbued with the spirit of progress and
reform. 1t vas fortunate for the new organization
tlaf il had for its leader man who had long been
highly esteemed in the old Society, not only for his
ability as preacher and writer, but also for the
purity Of hs life and hs single hearted devotion TO
