Missouri Democrat will not make grain
enough for food fer the people: In many
counties the crops have been al! total fail

part Of the Territory has been runously dry
There will be little corn, and but very little,
in Douglas county, and still less in Shawnee.
The counties bordering on the Missouri riv-

of the settlements have Jared best In Leav-
enworth, Atchison, Doniphan, johnson Lynn
and Lykins, there is considerable amount
of corn, still the aggregate deficiency will
be very great. In some regions the grass
hoppers appeared and eat up everything
crops included; bu, The ravages of these crea
lures were confined to certain localities
The people of Kansas can hardly be said to
have got to farming fairly. The amount of
land under cultivation is not great, and as a
heavy crop was raised on our rich soil last
year with no effort, and even amidst utter
carcessuess, it begot conviction that crops
could be raised there in any way. This is
the d vest season known since the settle
ment Of the Territory Many of the small
streams have been dried up.
And ye: we do not hear that the Repub

Kansas, is investing a solitary cent in 1850,
to send bread there. Kansas don't "beed

in active fight-quoits few hither and

even the birds of the forest seemed to
drink of the sweet strains, and participate
in the festivities to their hearts content
There was perfect harmony through
out the whole day, thing that rarley
occurs where there are so many nation

son was under the influence of ardent
spirits, and the utmost decorum was pre-
