The people of Kansas have certainly
passed through the furnace of aiiliction.-
For years they have been struggling to
maintain the God-giyen right of sclf-goy-
ernment, and now, when the prize for
which they have contended SO gallantly, is
within their grasp, they are afflicted with
drouth and prospect Of famine. The peo-
pie of the Union, having pronounced in fa-
vor of the Justice Of their cause will have to
send food to the citizens Of that territory to
enable them to experience any benefit from
the decision. The verdict OF the Union
was postponed a great while, during which
time the people of Kansas were neglecting
their farms to defend their liberties. The
result was, they were lily prepared for
the severe drouth of last summer and the
consequent destruction of their crops. They
have appealed to their brethren in the
States for bread, ard the appeal, we are
glad to state is being responded to prompt
ly. Large quantities OF provisions have
already been dispatched To the untor-
tunate territory, bnt not in sufficient
amounts 10 meet ttte demand As an fudl-
cation OF the distress prevalent, a correspon-
dent of the Chicago Press and Tribune men

there has not been raised 500 bushels of corn
and half that amount Of wheat. Of potatoes
not one-tenth part of the amount required
for planting in the spring, had been gather
Cd. The vegetables had been almost entire
ly destroyed. The supply Of meat, however,
is better than that OF bread. They have a
few hogs, good supply of cattle, and, about
100 miles west is n good buffalo range,
whittier many OF the citizens have gone to
lay in a supply of meat. Allen county has
population OF over 5000. We are conf

south CnroIinn in the Field.

We conclude, from telegraphc dispatch
in another place. that the South Caroliuians
are determined on precipitating the country
into civil war, if by any possibility they
can bring it about. Knowing that if they
postpone their rebellion until Mr., Lincoln
is inauguratel and avows the course he
intends pursuing as President, that it will
be impossible to incite an insurrection, the
traitors-who have thus far beer permitted
/ 70 fan the prejudiCes Of the people OF their
State into a fame unshed-have seized
| upon the excitement naturally arising from
| the election of Mr.. Lincoln, TO plunge the
| people of the State into actual hOstil tiles.
Instead of waiting for Mr.. Lincoln and his
friends 10 commit an act OF aggression upon
their section Of the country, they have TAX
en- possession of Fort Moultrie hallowed
spot, in which the whole nation has an Interest
and attempted to seize the arms in the gov
ernment arsenal. John Brown and few IA
natical followers captured the arsenal at Har-
pers Ferry. He, with his compatriots,
paid the penalty of their treason with their
Buchanan will be equally prompt with the
South Carolina traitors. They have COM
mitted treason in the fullest sense of the !
word. They hare Lpied lcar uPoH the gog- /
eynment The law has been openly violated. |
No compromise can palliate this crime. The |
laws must be enforced or the government is |
at nm end. Can they be, will they be en-
forced It is for Mr. Buchanan to deter
mine.
Shortly after the close of the Revolution, /
the population Of Western Pennsylvania
took it into their heads that the Govern
ment could not enforce its own laws and
actually took up arms to resist law they
as peculiarly odious. The conse-
quence was, Genl Washington called for
who poured into the State in
such numbers as to absolutely terrify the
rebels and crush out the rebellion without
the discharge of gun. So would it be
now If President Buchanan would call
on the Slave States alone, we confident
they would speedily anuihilatc the nest Of
traitors who have kept the country in an
uproar for many years.
The dispatch says 1000 minute men were
drilling at Augusta. SO long as they mere
~ drill no exception will be taken but
when it comes to seizing upon government 6
forts and arsenals, that is quite II different {
matter. We shall look for President Bu-
,hanans course in this hour of difficulty
With much interest. If he vacilates there ;
will be considerable trouble ahead. If he t
moves promptly and firmly the insurrec-
ion will hardly rival in interest the at !
empt Of old Brown. q

to-day, the Committee on Federal Relations
reported bill calling Convention for the
second Wednesday in January, to take into
consideration the danger incident to the
present condition of South Carolina in the
Union and to take measures against the
same.rs After brief discussion the bill
passed ed-Yeas 24; Nays I. The dissenter
differed about the time only. The election
is to take place on the Tuesday previous TO
the Convention. In the House debate
took place on the resolution of sending
Commissioner to Georgia, some members
speaking in favor of cooperation with
other States. A bill providing for police
regulations concerning persons from States
hostile to slavery was reported.
Seven thousand minute men are drilling
here to- night. The services of volunteers
have been offered from Georgia, Mississippi,
Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee.

sS~The Albany New York; Journal of
"Wednesday evening, devotes its fourth page
to a curious mode Of expressing Republican
gladness- The whole page is occupied by a
spread eagle standing on a globe, holding
in his beal1 a scroll bearing the inscription
-"Right makes might. = and Liberty
and Union foreverl' A glory between the
birds wings surmounts the declaration,
'sThe Union is Redeemed" The page is
bordered by sentences in monstrous type for
a newspaper, all expressive of the same feel
ing. But there is an oddity about the his
tory of this bird. As a matter of course he
is fixed to q wooden block and he is joint
ly the property of Democratic and Re
publican journal, doing duty for either as
occasion serves His last public appearance
was in the Albany Atlas and Argus, when
the bird screamed for Buchanan. Before
that he had celebrated Perce's election

TENNEssEE.-The Louisville Courier OF
Saturday Gays brief telegraphie dispatch
the night before stated that Bell had carried
this State by plurality of 1000.
| KENTUcKY.-We conclude from all the
information we can CLEAN from the Louis
vile papers that this State has gone for
Bell. Indeed the Courier (Brecknridge
paper comedies this much.
INDIANA.--The State Journal has returns
from 81 counties which foot up Lincoln 5
plurality 1854. In these returns we no
tice several errors in the " Pocket" coun-
tiee, which, when corrected, will increase
the Republican majorities. The Journals
estimate that the lst district will not give
over 1900 majority for Douglas is correct
We do not think it will go over 1900.
CoxNACrIcur.-This State, which was
fought for so desperately by the Democracy
but few months ago, who were only de
feated by the energetic work of the Wide
Awakes, gives Lincoln a majority of about
10000. Glorious old land of steady
habits
MIssoURL-The st. Louis Republican of
Saturday comedies that the result in this
State is still in doubt. 1t says the returns,
so far as resolved up to that time, give Bell
"a, 1923; Douglas 34,l76; Breckinridge
IA, ,976 Lincoln 1878. 1t seems to be
nip and tuck between Douglas and Bell, ami
Breckinridge and Lincoln.
IowA.--Eleven counties in this State,
nearly all of which were Democratic last
year, give Lincoln and the Republican
State ticket 2,796 majority The Repub-
licans are confident of carrying the State 10y
from $4,000 10 $4,000. Iowa is a small
State but she gives large majorities.
VIRGINIA is stiIl in some doubt. Both
parties claim the state.
NEW YoRK.-According to the summing
up of the electoral vote in New York, pub
lished in the World of Thursday, which does
not include complete list of the counties,
the Republicon majority exceeds AS 1000
We hope the complete official returns will
not be long delayed.
ILLINoIs.-The Chicago Democrat Of Fri
day contains returns from 81 Counties
Tehse give Lincoln majority OF 1856;
being gain over the vote of 1858 of 90, 49I
The Democrat still regarded the Senate az
in doubt. 1t had dispatches stating that
one of the doubtful districts had been car
ried by the Republicans, and it was only
necessary to secure one more to make the
Senate safe. We learn from the St. Louis
Democrat that the Republican Senator in
the St. Clair district is elected by % ma
jority. This is close shaving, but United
States Senator depended on it.
The Cotton States have all gone for
Breckinridge by handsome majoritiSs.

OVER WORKED WoMEN-An over-work-
ed woman is always a sad sight sadder a
great deal than an over-worked man, be-
cause she is so much more fertile in capaci-
ties OF suffering than a man. She has so
many varieties of headache, sometimes as
if Jael were driving the nail that killed
Sisera into her temples, sometimes letting
her work with half her brain, while the
other half throbs as if it would go to pieces,
sometimes tightening round the brows as if
her cap bands were Luke's iron crown; and
then her neuralgia, and her backaches, and
her fits of depression, in which she thinks
she is nothing, and less than nothing, and
these paroxysms which men speak slight
ingly of as hysterical eonvulsions, that is
ali, only not commonly fatal ones, so many
trials which belong to her fue and mobile
structure, that she is always entitled to pity
when she IS placed in conditions which de-
velop her nervous tendencies.-Dr o. ".
