DROUGHT IN KANSAS.

The World has received and published
the following communication from the
Rev. 9. G. Hutchinson, Of Topeka, Kan
sas: .s 7, n ::s:.. !. q z.s
. For weary months the inhabitants OF
this territory have ysinly looked and
prayed for rain Up to the 1stinst., for
twelve months the ground has not ia the
interior been. thoroughly soaked. 4 a few
favored localities have had showers. and
this has led to conflicting accounts .= II.
A narrow strip OF solhe seventy miles
in length, bordering on the Missouri
river, and extending bhek ten or iifteen
miles, has had frequent, though light
showers, and has raised fair crops: There
are also small districts in other localities
where a greateT crop has been raised.
Now, no Kansas man desires toiniurc tie
reputation Of his adopted home, and con.
|sequently those who write from the above
districts look at matters III the most "a.
yorable light Indeed, I'VE oil, up to Sep.

and SO wrote hopefully, or not at NIL. Bat
we cannot hope longer, and now begin 10
All crops may, with the above exccp-
tions, be considered an entire failure IN
the territory Winter wheat died early
in the season, and most Of the ground
was piowed and so8n to buckwheat OF
oats, or planted to corn. LII western
Kansas, south Of the Kansas river the
two former are an entire failure, not d
kernel being gathered. We all hoped for
a little corn. FL. -. ' :. !.
The prairie farms were early shown to
be entirely destitute Of crops, lbut hopes
were entertained that corn, on bottom
lands, would yield something. September
LIST, the owner of the best field in Topeka,
Shawnee county, expected thirty bushels
per acre, but, upon beginning 10 pick it,
HIS highest estimate was eight bushels per
acre. Externally good looking ears were
found half filed, aud Others destroyed by
the worms. The same land last year pro
duced IS bushels per acre. s, !. =. r..

recaptured Africans there are well taken care
of occupy extensive barracoons, and are
guarded by United States troops. When
within the inclosure, says the writer, one
may easily imagine himself to be in an Afri-
can village; fourteen hundred wild Africans
are grouped about, engaged in various diver
sions, or lazily basking in the sun; here a
party are having awar-dance to the measured
beat of the "Indian drum" there another
dancing party, the lascivious dance of the
savage; seated on the ground yonder are
party whose leader seems to be improvising
a chant, the others beating time with their
hands, and joining in the chorus with shouts
of boisterous mirth. The appearance ofthese
creatures has wonderfully improved since
they were landed, and have had chance
for pure air, exercise and wholesome food.
They do not wish to go back to African
bondage. H Ht1'.
