ArCuISoN, *. T. March 3.
A meeting Of Committeeman and others,
from the country, numbering about ESQ, and
representing twenty-iour counties, was held
here last night. and series Of resolutions
adopted, expressing the utmost confidence in
Gen. Pomeroy and the other members OF the
General Committee fully endorsing the sys-
tern OF distribution adopted by them. and
recommending all moneys and supplies for
the relief of Kansas to be sent to them. They
regret that conflicting statements have been
sent from Leavcnworth; as they consider it
my have tendency to stop the supplies,
which are SO urgently needed, and closed
with the following resolution:
Rcsoirea, That it is the sense of this meet
ing that, Instead of gross exaggeratlon being
attributable to Hyatt and Pomeroy, the mis-
representations are justly attributable to the
author Of the recent dispatches sent from
Leavenwcrth.
We i,eve proceedings Of a mass meeting of
Jefferson county also endorsing Mr.. Pomeroy
and the Committee, and denouncing the
action of some of the citizens of Leavenworth
VINO have eudcavored to stop supplies.
Forty tons were shipped, en- Saturday, for
Wyandotte and Topeka, at both which places
full supplies will hereafter be kept. Thirty.
eight tons more were sent, yesterday and to-
day, to the same points,
The establishment of these dcpots will be
great convenience to the settlers in Western
and Southern Kansas.
One hundred and nincty-five orders were
received yesterday and until nine o'clock this
morning, drawn by different local committees
ION the General Committee.
The rush for few days past has been ire
mendous, as the settlers wish to get their
.rops in. and must have supplies and seed in
or, 'er to do so.
VI r., little seed, compared with the wants Of
tho %, 1try, has yet been received, and it
he ~ hs 4, sx.,ibated in very small quantities.
