Southcrncrs in Kansas have gone there to pill
lagc Free State towns, and vote slavery into that
torritory-and not to settle there. The manner in
which they are supported there will more fully ap-
pear by u perusal of the following letter, which
appears in the South Carolinian:
ArcnIsoN, X. T., July %, 1856.
Yours of the 4lh inst, addressed to Gen. Atch-
ison, has been received, and in the absence Of Gen.
Atchison from this place, | do by bis request, give
such information to his friends in the South us
they might desire.
In regard to the expense of getting emigrants to
this territory, | think tho last company from
Charleston, South Carolina, paid on an average
about thirty dollars fare to this place. That, | think
is about II fair estimate Of the expense OF getting
to Kansas from your district. 1t would be well,
however, to have a surplus in the hands of the
captain Of each company, should anything turn
up that would require more funds.
III. b. Addison and Mr.. Banks are now at this
place. They are well cared for, and arc encamp-
cd with the Charleston boys on the outskirts Of
the town. Tho camp is supplied with provisions
Ivy us, who are appointed 50 distribute out the con
tributions received from Missouri, So far we have
had provisions enough to meet the demand, but
we will have to look elsewhere for supplies. Mis-
souri, has done nobly. Nearly every fresido in
the border counties is represented in Kansas
Her citizens have contributed literally towards
the support of Southern cmigrants. In regard to
the cost of supporting men six months in the ter
ritory, | am not prepared 70 state. You con form
an idea as well as myself. / think the cost of sup
porting them here would be about the Same as in
South Carolina. Send us all the funds you can
possibly raise-wo need all we can get--and if it
does not amount to enough to sustain you emf
grants, we will make Up the deficiency. Send
drafts on st. Louis by mail. Direct all your con
tributiuns to Messrs. Stringlellow and Kelley, odi-
tors Of the Squatter Sovereign, Atchison, Kansas
Territory, and they will be properly applied, and
receipts returned to you if desired. Several CON
tributions sent to Gen. Atclison have been turn
ed over to them, aud applied to the benefit of the
cause.
We have over 100 South Carolinians stationed
at this place, and are doing all in our power to
make their stay in Kansas agreeable, and are hap
by to say that there is no sickness whatever in the
camps, and the boys all seem contentcd. They
are "A fine set Of men, brave and generous. South
Carolina has cause to be proud Of her sons in Kan
sas.
We anticipate a renewal of the difficulties in
Kansas before thirty days. Lane is in the upper
part of the Territory with fifteen hundred men
from Wisconsin. Michigan and Illinois. lie avows
his intention to revenge the destruction of Law
renee. We will give him n warm reception in
this neighborhood. We need money to buy am,
munition and provisions. Our men to be effective
should be mounted. | hope your district will ap,
preciate the services of the noble souls who are
now risking their lives in defence of Southern
rights, and sec that they are sustained,
All moneys sent to Stringfellow and Kelley will
be acknowledged in their paper, and a copy sent
to the doners. If not liz TINT way, the receipts
will be acknowledged by letter.
Gen. Atchison will soon return to this city, and
should you desire further information, he will be
pleased to give it to you. l remain yours, &C.,
ROBERT S. KELLEY. for Gen. Atchison.
