IMPORTANT FROM KANSAS.
MR.. ARNY'S REPORT UPON THE CONDITION
AND WANTS OF THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS.

AND WANTS OF THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS.
full statement of the present and future prospects
and wants of the settlers of Kansas, would require
more time and space than can at present command.
And as meeting of the National Committee will be
shortly held at which full statement will be required,
III only briefly allude to Of the most important
matters connected with the Territory from which
have just returned.
On my arrival III Kansas some weeks ago, learned
that there was great dissatisfaction existing 10 regard
to the manner of the distribution of aid by 1.-The Cen
tral Committee in Kansas-which my former
visit constituted the disbursng agent of the National
"Kansas Con mttee.' Without assuming to decide
in regard to these complaints with the concurrence of
Mr. Hyatt, deemed it good policy to change our dis
bursting agents. We have therefore had & new Com
mttee chosen consisting of the Rev. H. Mute the Rev.
NJ Lum, the Rev. +. p. LOvtjoy, the Rev. G. w
Hutchinson and 4. Wattles, esq, and appointed Cha'
Searns esq Of Lawrence, disbursitg agent, who has
given bond for $40 600 with Gov. Robinson and eight
other citizens of Lawrence, security for the faithful
performance of the duties Of that Office. And we have
requested the citizens in each locality of the Territory
oappoin persons to inquire into the wants OF their re-
spective districts, and report to the above Committee
70 that they be Immediately relieved. In addition
10 this expect as soOn as practicable 10 return 10 hah-
and devote portion or lime IN seeking out
worthy sufferers and seeing that tfey are supplied, as
in many cases have found those moot deserving and
suffer pg to fail to make application for aid.
There is row in the hands of THE AGENTS (of the
National Committee) in Kansas, money, fonr, gre
cerns &C. 10 the amount Of $lO, 900, which, with
-four &c purchased in Missouri 10 be forwarded
imme distey to the southern part of the Territory will
make sufficient supply till the trstweek In February
CLOTHING.
The liberal contributions of articles Of clothing &c.
owing 10 the cOsDg Of navigation earlier than usual
did not all reach the Territory. Three hundred and
twenty packages have been distributed, valued at
<i3s75, which has made many persons comfortable
bat we are scry 10 say that there are many persons
who remained uIcad, tor some OF whom we found II
necessary to purchase clothing, they being entirely
destitute. One family Of eight persons had no clothing
but what they made themselves out OF corn'sacks,
whish thrown away by United States teamsters,
after they had fed their mules with the contents On
my way through Missouri paid the freight on one lot
Of goods, and engaged teams to haul them, and dl.
rected another lot 10 be sent by and which will put
fifty four PACKAGE more in the Territory this week.
We have stored Bloomington H.. and at 81. Louis,
2g2 packages, which will be forwarded 30 soon as
vigation opens in the Spring. On my arrival In
Kansas found much complaint in consequence OF the
distribution of the goods by the Central Kansas Com
mittee which intended for private persons, aud
hume diately adopted measures 70 supply all who were
thus deprived OF the tokens OF friendship and relief
cent to them by their friends. Among the packages
detained Oh the way several OF this character,
which will be delivered as soon as possible after they
can be transported to the Territory and those VINO
have failed to receive their packages Will Do furnished
WAVES or KANSAS SETTLERS, FOOD, &C.
Owing to the constant troubles and destruction oil
property there ara thousands Of destitute persons who
will require food and clothing till they can raise
crop; and 10 furnish which, according to all the in
formation have been able to obtain it will require
some sl2 600 per month, from the st Of February TO
the lst Of September next.
