starration in Kan,a..

Large portions Of the people Of Kansas are said to
lin starving condition, on account of failure Of
their crops most extraordinary drouth has pre-
vailed in that Territory and crop after crop has been
planted and totally failed The New York Times con-
tans melancholy particulars of the existing want and
dwells upon the absolute starvation staring thou
sands of the inhabitants in the face unless supplies
are speedily sent to them. Mr.. Thaddeus Hyatt has
recently returned from Kansas and has published
plteous account concerning the sufferings of its
inhabitants from hunger. The following is brief
extract from his letter:
"Of over hundred thousand people upon Kan
soil six months ago, at least one fourth
third have left of the remainder it is safe to say
that forty thousand at this moment nothing but
exodus or starvation at the end Of sixty days now
just before them; from ten to twenty thousand look
with only despairing eyes upon November; thou
sands cannot subsist month longer unaided; other
thousands are living upon the little which their
neighbors deprive themselves of to give them
neighbors equally unfortunate, and with whom the
starvation is merely question of but a few days
longer; while still other thousands if not at once
relieved, must perish from hunger or the diseases
that follow in its train. Some have already died,
others are dying while the hours grow darker, and
the days wax longer, for the living to whom relief
comes not and whose eyes are aching with watch
ings for the succor that delays"

HEAR JAcxsoN-The black Republicans profess
great veneration for Gen. jackson, and call them
selves jackson Democrats His counsels, then,
should be regarded BY them Let them read the
following extract from, his Farewell Message, and
test their own conduct by its sentiments:
Each State has the unquestionable right to reg
uate its own internal concerns according to its
pleasure; and while il does not interfere with the
rights of the people Of other States or the rights of
the Union every State must be sole judge Of the
measures proper to the safety of its citizens
and promote their happiness; and all efforts the
part of the people of other States to cast odium
their institutions ana all measures calculated to dis
turb their rights of property or to put in jeopardy
their peace and internal tranquility, in direct
opposition to the spirit in which the Union was
formed, and must endanger its safety. Motives Of
philanthropy may be assigned for this unwarranta-
BILE interference, and such men may persuade them
selves for moment that they are laboring in the
cause of humanity, and asserting the rights OF the
human race but every one, upon sober reflection,
will see that nothing but mischief can come from
their improper assaults upon the feelings and rights
of Others Rest assured that the men found busy
in this work of dscord are not worthy of your
fidence, and deserve your strongest reprobation."
Let the people contrast Republican denunciations
of the South and Southern institutions, with the
teachingo Jackson, and then decide upon the claim
Of these linen who are found busy in the work Of
discord" to be considered disciples of Jacksonan
Democracy.

ASTONISHING PorATo CRoP-The potato crop of
Iowa for the present year is reported to be truly
tonishing The yield in some instances comes up
to 400 and 500 bushels to the acre. and the general
average is not much less than 200 The quality of
the potatoes is better than usual, and far exceeds
the best raised in any country We have ever visited
1t is not uncommon to find them weighing pound
each, and some that we have seen weighed three,
four, and even five pounds. Not sign of rot or
imperfection has been discovered So plenty and
cheap are they that for the past week many loads
have sold at ten cents per bushel. No danger of
starving in Iowa at these figures.

CURE FOR BuRNs.-The Gazette HedicdL of france
says that by an accident charcoal has been discov
cred to be a cure for burns. By laying piece of
cold charcoal upon a burn, the pain subsidies mme-
diately. By leaving the charcoal on one hour, the
wound is healed, as has been demonstrated on sew
eral occasions. The remedy is cheap and simple
and certainly deserves a trial.

PosToFFICE DEPARTMENT,

Whereas, by an act Of Sd March, 1856, the post
age upon all letters, except such are entitled to
pass free, between places in the United States is
quires to be prepaid; and whereas the Department,
through courtesy has hitherto at considerable labor
and expense notified the parties addressed, in all
instances in which the writers failed to prepay that
their letters would be forwarded on receiving the
postage due thereon; and whereas, instead of d.
minishng, the number of such letters continues to
increase thus showing that the omission to prepay
is intentional; 1t is therefore, ordered that from and
after the first day of November, 1860, all such I'M
paid letters be sent to deadletter Office to be dis
posed of in like manner as other dead letters.
