ports of the Secretaries of War, of the Ma

General. The Recommendations and sug-
gestions which they contain are highly yalu-

/ The Repot of the Postmaster General de :
tails the circumstances under which Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt on my request, agreed, in
the month of July last, to carry the Ocean
| mails between our Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. Had he not thus acted, this import
ant INSTRUMENTATION must have been sus-
pended at least for season.. The Postmas-
| ter General had no power to make him any
other compensation than the postages on
mail matter which he might carry. It was
i known at the time these postages would fall
far short of an adequate compensation, as
/ well as of the sum which the same service
had previously cost the Government. Mr..
Vanderbilt, in q commendable spirit, was
willing to rely upon the justice of Congress
| to make up the deficiency, and therefore
| recommend that an appropriation may be
t t granted for this purpose -Tz57=s lrr

which deem reliable, that the inhabitants
in several portions of Kansas have been re-
duced nearly to state of starvation, on &C.
count of the almost total failure of the crops
whilst the harvests in every other portion o.
the country have been abundant. The pros

is well calculated to enlist the sympathies o
every heart The destitution appears to be
