Important from Kansas.

s. Lonis, January 8.--The Republican has received a letter dated Fort Kearny, the 23d ult. which says that Col. Johnston was at Fort Bridger the 26th of November That Col Cook with the whole command, had arrived, and found the grass all burned and that in conse- quence their animals were dying one hundred per day; that the Mormons were fortifying all passes leading to their city. Jesse Jones, the agent, Mayors & Russell were released and sent to Johnstons camp. Another letter says that Johnston's command while en route were not molested by the Mormons.
 Washington, January 8.-Reliable informa- ton received here, shows that nearly or quite 1000 votes were cast for the Lecompton consti- tuition on the 2lst ultimo, which is believed to be a majority of the whole number of voters in Kansas. The Republicans mean to elect men pledged to call the convention to change the constitution and not to destroy it. President Calhoun would not open the votes on the con- stituton until after the 4th of January. This is regarded in political circles as highly favorable to a speedy settlement of the Kansas question by action of the people of Kansas. gF4

 How JANUARY l CAME TO BE NEW YEARS DAy.-A writer in the National Intelligencer reminds us that we do not now celebrate New Years on the day our fathers did; on the con- trary, that little more than a century ago that festival fell on the 25th of March, throughout the British domnions.
 The alteration was made in the 2tth year of the reign of George the Second, which will ap- pear by the following extracts of the act of par lament, entitled "An act regulating the com. mencement of the year, and for correcting the calendar now in use"
 PreaDable.-W hereas the legal supputation of the year of our Lorl-according to which the year beginneth on the 25th day of March-hath been found by experience to be attended with divers inconveniencies, etc.
 Eilactments That throughout his Maesty's dominions in Europe, Asia Africa and America, the said supputation, according to which the year of our Lord beginneth on the twenny- fifth day of March, shall not be made use of from and after the last day of December 175l; and that the first day of January next following the said l,.st day of December shall be reckon ed, taken, deemed and accounted to be the first day of our Lord, 1752, and so on from time to time. The first day of January in every year which shall happen in time to come shall be deemed and reckoned the first day of the year, etc.
 The act also further corrccts the calendar thus:
 And that the natural day next immediately following the 2d day of September shall be called and accounted to be the l4th day of September, emitting for that time only the eleven intermediate nominal days of the com mon calendar
 In connection with this subject the writer states, and we believe truly, that in the island of Rhode Island to this day all farm and other leases date from the day of the ancient new year, namely. the 25th of March. 0ET The Washington Union has taken po- stiou, the correctness of which we cordially and emphatically endorse. It is sound and just They who are not for are against us and should be regarded
 "An honest difference of opinion as to whether the Kansas convention should have submitted to popular ratification the whole of the great essential part of the constitution fram- ed by them may be toieratei; but the entire de- mocratc press will hold no democrat guiltless who seeks 10 promote his peculiar views ty as- sociations wiM Naek repatlioanism ba any form | To sanction even for a moment the sectional objects, or to adopt even for temporary pur- pose the wrrlched sophistries and faEstcal ap- | peals of the enemy. may he safely regarded as the preliminary steps of formal desertlon."
