KANSAS.

We copy in another column the response Of seY-
eral journals to our suggestion Of the proprety Of
District action in aid of Kansas. 1t is certainly
to be desired that soma sort Of concert be brought
about between contiguous districts, to give ener-
gy and effect to the already aroused sentiment in
behalf of the movement. We trust that other
Journals will take up the suggestion heartily, or,
if another plan be preferred, set in motion the
movement necessary to its oonsummation.
We cannot do better than to give our readers q
few extracts from our contempories, indicating the
operations of the friends Of Kansas in other quar-
tors Of the South. Verify, the ball is in notion
The Carolina Spartan says
"Maj. o. P. Macarthur, of Thickety Fork, in
this District bona .fde emgrant, will start from
the Court House on Monday next on his way to
Kansas. He unites in his party twenty-five, six
or seven able-boded men, and also two slaves, and
goes with o determination, designs locating lands
for agriculture, and becoming permanent resi-
dent. Success attend him and his companions. Z"
The Charleston Courier has the following:
"THE KANSAS learn author
itively that Capt. E. B. Bell, of Granitevlle, who
is engaged in recruiting and organizing band Of
Kansas eolonists and pioneers on behalf of the
South, is meeting in great part the success due to
his energy and zeal in worthy cause. He has
selected as his First Lieutenant young Charles
tonian whose enterprise and qualifications will
render him valuable coadjutor, and who has E.
licited considerable amount Of aid in contribu-
tions to the cause. 1t is expected also that Char
lesion city and District will furnish good quota
of personel to the company, as Capt Bell has the
nearest recruiting depot tits desired and intend
pfohou hn
sively of young citizens of such calling, occupa-
tions and habits as will make efficient pioneers
and actively contributing citizens in the interests
and necessities of new settlement
ssThe terms and particulars Of enlistment are
perhaps familiar to oil readers, as the plan Of
Mai. Buford, under which Capt. Bell is engaged
has been published and explained through the
city press. We remark, however, that contribu-
tions and aid solicited here are chiefly needed to
defray preliminary expenses and the transpor-
tation to Columbus, Georgia, at which point Maj.
Buford's engagements will begin.
'sCapt. Bell expects to report with full COM
pany ut Columbus, Georgia, on or near the 25th
of March, and to proceed therefrom Immediately
for Kansas, which can be reached in twelve days.
The Camden Journal has the following call:
seThe citizens of Kershaw District are requested
to assemble at the Court House in Camden on the
first Monday in March next, at IL o'clock m, to
consider some project for effecting settlement in
Kansas.

We notice in the Marion Star, that Mr.. j. B..
Laborde advertises for volunteers to 60 with him
to Kansas. Col. J. D. Witherspoon offers to
equip FIVE.
The Charlotte Democrat says:
GA number of young gentlemen, Of this town
and vicinity, have formed an association for emf
grating to Kansas, as soon as they can make pre-
paratious for the long journey. The association
already numbers, we learn, sixteen henderson,
" four more being required to complete the COM
pany. On Thursday evening next, public meet
ing on the subject will beheld at the Court House,
to which all who feel interest on the subject land
what Southerner is there who does not) invited
to attend. It's as much an act Of patriotism for
our citizens to visit that theatre of Abolition So
licitude at this important crisis it would be to
shoulder musket and march to meet foreign
enemy invading our country and robbng US of our
rights and property. The people of Kansas-the
Southern people of that abolition ridden territory
will receive with open arms and doors all who
20 at this time to their rescue"
The Columbus (Ga.) Sun says:
'.We are glad to see by the Eufaula and other
Alabama papers, that Major Buford is receiving
some handsome contributions, from gentlemen in
different parts of the State, to aid his Kansas en-
terprise. We trust that he may be able to start
by the time appointed, and that his company will
arrive out in time to be Of essential service to the
cause of the South"
