GREAT DISTRESS OF TIE SETTLERS IN Sourn-
WESTERN KANsAs-A despatch from Atchison
says that messenger from Hunter County.
Kansas, 200 miles from there, arrived on the
night of the 18th, imploring relief for the in
habitants. The despatch says:
Snow has fallen to the depth of 1s inches on
level. The cold is intense, and stock of all
descriptions is dying off with fearful rapdity.
MosFof the inhabitants are reduced to buffalo
meat alone, and not team is able to make
The journey through the snow. The messen
ger walked twenty-six miles before finding a
track after leaving the sett lement, and seventy
miles before reaching Emporia, where he took
astage and came on here. The mails on the
route had not been carried through for three
weeks. Owing to the great depth Of the snow
and the intense cold, horses and cattle are dv.
ing along the route. Goods were abandoned
in the middle Of the praires. The teams had
died or given out, or the limbs of the drivers
had bseome frozen, and they had to seek re.
fuge at the nearest settlement to save their
lives. One man will lose both of his legs, an.
other both Of his hands. . e..

TIE Best PLATFORM AFTER ALL-It will be
noticed in the speeches of the President and
Vice President elect that they have no faith in
the Cabinet which Is shortly to assume execu-
tive Po'ers in the new Congress, the fossil
Peace Convention or the politicians. They put
their trust IN Divine Providence, and, We pre-,
sumo, take the New Testament for their plat
FORM The doctrine there inculcated, "peace
on earth, good will TO men," is just the very
best for the present crisis Mr.. Lincoln and hts
advisers will find that it will work much bot
ter than the Chicago platform. So let them
stick to Divine Providence, and cut the politi-
cians altogether.

GETTING READY.

We clip the following paragraphs from the
New York Tribune of Thursday. Those who
entertain the idea that we are not oh the verge
of war, will find it difficult to- otherwise ac
count for the extensive military and naval pre
parations, now progressing with activity at the
North:
The ordnance authorities of the Brooklyn
Navy Yard have not oftener been buster than
they are now. Batteries for the Perry Savaa.
nah, Harriet Lane, and other vessels, are being
prepared and will soon be finished The ar.
maments Of the steam frigates Roanoke and
Wd6ash are to be Increased to four guns each,
and the batteries Of the Aohark and Crusadsy
will be put in a most efficient state. The stock
of shot and shell on hand is large enough to
supply any contingency. Captain Gansevoort
has got the entire Departmental the most per =
feet order.
The United States steam frigate M..issippi,
'is now almost ready for sca at Boston. Her
condition has been reported to tie authorities,
and ORDERS for her immediate outfit are said to
be in contemplation
Another detachment of recruits has arrived
on the Island, and one of the United States
Dragons has left for Carlisle, where thew are
to be drilled and fitted out for reeimental du-
ty.
Orders for the, departure Of considerable
portion Of United States troops from Cover
nor's Island are daily expected. At present
over three hundred men are on the ready list,
and apbulance material for q force Of that
number is susceptible of almost irnmed,s.e use,
1t is said that three officers are detailed to go
with the soldiers, whose destination hiss not

NO CAUSE OF ALARM.

The cotton scare in England, as hos been al
ready observed, is entirely without any good
cause or foundation. The following para
graph from the Savannah Republican, in q
few words satisfactorily proves this. 1t says:
''As Regards the apprehended falling off in the
production of the staple at the South, come
what may,,Peace or war, it will never be suf-
ficient to affect materially the trade and com.
merce of the world. The whole calculate of
deficit is based on erroneous data. They forget
the peculiar character of our institutions, the
permanency of our industrial system, the fact
that the labor of the South is not, as elsewhere,
the fighting element of the State.S When wors
occur in Europe or at the North. you take the
laborng men from the plough. the workshop
and the factory to fight them. Production to
the exte Mt of the force required must accord.
ingly cease. In the Southern, aud especially
the cotton growing States the case is entirely
different. A wholly different syotem of labor
prevails. Our cotton fields are titled by slaves
and Georgia alone might send twenty thousand
troops to thss6eld, without diminishing her pro-
duotion of the staple to the amount of q hun
dred bales. Well make the cotton, and enough
Of it. and England may rely on this assurance.
The great question will be Z. How is. she to get
itf This abe must settle for herself. though we
will do our part to the best of our ability. We
are not 'eafaring people, and have for the
present no ships III war to look after our inter.
est in commerce. If she will send her mer-
chantmen to take our cotton, and.her war ma.
rins to protect them on the seas, ebe need feel
no uneasiness on the question of cotton sup.

Tered hospitality to man clothed with more
exalted powers, or resting under graver respon-

it will require high patriotism aud an eleva-

to so conduct affairs as to bring it back. again

porous condition.
II refer to this topic, sir, it Is because New
York is deeply interested. The present politi
cal divisions have sorely afflicted her people
All her material interests are paralyzed. Her
commercial greatness is endangered. She is
the child Of the American Union. She has
grown up under its maternal care and been fos-
tered by its paternal bounty, and wsfear that
if the Union dies, the present supremacy of
New York may perish with it. Toiyou, there.

to Col. Forney, who has succeeded Col. Lomax

should be mounted upon the battery which

made in conformity to the armistice, which Il
understood on both sides, it was regarded as
right. and the work upon the battery was

ANOTHER SEIZURE or New YonK VEssrIs-
Up to the present time the arms seized by the
New York Police have failed TO come to hand.
or even to be delivered into the possession, of
the Agent of the State in New York. There
is no prospect of their recovery, according to
present appearances. and the Governor has de.
tcrmined to resort to other means of reimburs.
ing our citizens for their loss. Under his order
Col. Lawton seized. yesterday, the following
vessels now in port, belonging to citizens of
New York, and placed them under military
guard:
Ship 1ldrtha j. Hurd. 75e tons, Capt.
ilinckley, consigned to Brigham. Baldwin l.

signed tc Muller & Michc!s, and loading for
Queenstown and a market.
Brig Harald, consigned to W. 3. Giles 4 Co.,
and loading with lumber for Sunderland.
These vessels are of sufficient value to mako
up good portion of the loss, and We presume
the Governor will forthwith advertise them for
