The South and Kansas.

That our readers may understand how the
South feels asd is acting in this crisis, we give
the following eztIsct from The Newberry Mr.
r0r
The neWssnn Kansasis Of a most exciting
character such as TO cali for redoubled
efforts to save the Terrfofy from the grasp OF
The Aboilionisls. The South must send more
men or we fear those already sent will be driv-
en- out BY the Abolitionists, The two parties
are infuriated against each other blood has
been split, and decision BY the sword seems
inevitable.
Mr.. Wilkes, one Of the Anderson Company
who went out a shol. time since, returned to
get further aid We also see from oui Georgia
exchanges that two OF Buford's company have
returned for the same purpose. There is me-
cessity for action, immediate action. In the
North very strong efforts are making to flood
the territory with Northern emigrants. The
movement must be met by the Ssuth. or the
territory is gone.
South Carolina has done good deal but
not all that she can or ought to do. She can
do ten times as much and pot feel it. Let the
people arouse themselves to the magnitude of
the crisis that is upon them.
Heretofore each district has acted separately.
Would rot a convention Of all the Associations
in the State be e1pedient Would it not bring
the attention Of the people more thoroughly to
the subject? ? Would it not be the means Of
exciting combined effort in this great cause =?
We call The attention of editors to this sug-
gestion. Ifnot this some other plan must be
adopted to keep the ball in motion.
II Kansas is lost the SoutL must surrender
Il will give an impulse and audacity to abOli-
tion that nottingham arrest. Hence tits ques
ton Of life and death to the South.
Every district in south Carolina ought % ad-
dress itself at once to the matter, aud subscribe
at least an amount equal TO the annual tax
Let Newberry lead and the rest will move in
the matter.

Western Lands.

In the Newspaper" of the 22nd ult., l mott.
Ced an article, entitled "The West" which, |
believe, contained views entirely erroneous in
regard to our own State and that OF others. 1t
pu7ported to be written by person who do
sires 10 locale western lands. However inter-
ested he may be, his views upon the subject,
pretending TO be entirely for the public benefit,
If they are incorrect, for the same reason should
be corrected. He asserts that Iowa is not on
ly the best agricultural State in the Union, but
that the advantages presented to those who set
tie in the East are so small, that every moment
they lose in emigratng 10 his State is ruinous
! shall confne myself entirely to nv own State
in my remarks, that of Pennsylvania, and
think there arc several reasons which will car
~ conviction Of his errors. There are many
counties in Pennsylvania, where the land can
be had remarkably cheap, in which the soil is as
good ss any in the West, 1t particularly favor
ed with limestone and iron, the main ingredients
Of good soil. Though much is claimed for
western land. yet in richness OF soil and extent
of crops produced, it is not exceeded by any
State in the Union. 1t has the finest selection
Of timber, and the streams universally flow with
a rapid descent b0th east and west, generally
rising in the mountains. | make these last re-
marks as embracing two important advantages
TO the farmer, to wit: fine variety Of timber,
and healthness, in which particular great
part of the West is deficient, The idea that
no place but the West is the place for the poor
man, is the one which is usually advanced by
the thousands of spectators interested, and
whichis too much taken hold ofby the public,
fear to their misfortune. The reasons of nv
remarks are, that in many portions Of our St ,te,
especially in the western part Of Penn sylvania,
laud can be purchased cheaper than in the
West, whilst they hayc the advantage of a
ready cash market for all they produce. There
are several important things to consider in EN-.
igrating, in connection with good soil. If 9

ET The N. Y. Herald of the 81 inst,
speaks Of DR., Robt. Hunter Of that city, who is
SO much the subject Of conversation on account
of his remarkable views and practice, observes:
"No man, we will venture to say, in the
whole annals of the profession, has ever intro
duced more important innovation on the old
system of practice, or gained in short space
of time more converts to his opinions. A.
mongst these he has TO reckon some of the fac.
uly itself, forced to conviction by the proofs
that daily fall under their observation. But
the most incontrovertible evidence af the bene-
fits conferred by DR.. Hunters mode of treat
ment in disease Of the lungs is to be found in
the City Inspectors report. By these doCu-
ments it is shown that the Giminution in the
mortality from consumption during the last
three months Of the year 1856, as compared
with the corresponding three months of 1853
and 1854, was nearly twenty-five per cent
Comparing the first quarter Of the present year
with the first three months of the years 1854
and 1866. the dimnulion is still more remark
able, amounting to more than 80 per cent
Now, we know from the vast number of cases
treated and cures effected by DR.. Hunter du-
ring the periods referred to. that his efforts con-
trbuted, fnot TO produce all, at least the great.
er share of this improvement. The severity of
the past winter wOuld~have increased instead
Of diminishing the mortality arising from pull
monary diseases, had not there been some new
and powerful counteracting influence at work.
Emboldened by these results, and having the
most entire confidence in the inhalation system,
DR.. Hunter now comes forward to challenge
the faculty to fair and open investigation Of
his theories, He says. and says truly, that it
is not right to con6ne the discussion % medical
journals, which are the mere exponents of the
interests and prejudces of particular individu.
ais, societies or schools. He claims the whole
public for his audience, and he leaves to them
the decision Of the merits of the controversy
