the johnson House, and was a complete

drsped with the national colors, and the gay
Zouave costume of the corps, as they min :
gled in the dance, afforded beautiful and
picturesque appearance, Several members
Of other companies were also present in full
dress uniform. An elegant supper was spread
BY mine host of the johnson House to which
soldiers and civilians did full justics.-
The Guards were on parade curing the after
noon, and large crowds collected 70 see them

1t has become our imperative duty % urge upon
the public attention the iact-that over 20 OOo of
our fellow citizens IN Kansas are now In imml-
nent danger Of starving. We have the evidence
from all sources-from Gen. PomeroF, Chairman
of the Territorial Relief Committee, from the
columns Of nearly every newspaper there, Of al
shades Of politics-from our own reliable agent
who has just returned. There was doubt OF the
misery, terrible, widespread, destructive.
We have evidence that whole families have al
ready died of starvation; and that thousands more
must lie down discouraged, and died of want and
disease consequent upon 1t, unless prompt and
thorough relief is at once supplied. Congress Is
now attempting to sustain the starving Indians
but our .40,0 goo fellow cOuntFymen-men, women
and children-can neither get away from the des-
olation, nor borrow, nor beg. Their only depen
dence is upon US who have never known hunger
They must be sustained VIII yOR help Us to

them, we state that in every township Is q Relief

CABIERr SPECULATION.


We have quite a number Of Cabinet spec
ulatious to-day, some of which are based on
facts
There is q great New England pressure
against Seward and Chas. Adams going into
the Cabinet. The opponents Of Seward favor
Chase for Secretary of State, and Simmons
is urged in place Of Adams as the New Eng
land representative but the opposition from
Pennsylvania and New York to Simmons for
the Treasury, and in favor Of Cameron, is
strong. The tariff bill has made Simmons
unpopular with New York merchants. Col
fax is considered certain for Postmaster Gen
eral. So far as influence is concerned, be
has more of it than Smith Of Indiana, his
principal competitor. Both Republican and
Democratic publishers are urging Collar, as
they deem his practical knowledge of the
postofice business unequalled.
The Hon. W. c. Rives, of Virginia, it is
said, would accept position, and it is init
mated strongly that it will be rendered him.
Gov. Ramsey Of Minnesota, is spoken of for
a place in Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet.

CLEVELAND, SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY %, 1861

LITERART ITEMs.-Dr. Holmes romance,
which appeared under the title of the " Pro-
fessOr's Story" in the Atlantic Monthly, has
recently been issued by Tielrnor & Fields in
book form, under title of Elsie Werner. DR..
Holmes says that he has, during the pro-
gress Of the tale, resolved the most startling
proof that it is perfectly possible for a char
aeter like Elsie Werner to exist. Medical
men are familiar with many curious psy-
Geological facts which go far to confirm the
truth Of this idea The story has been some
what severely criticised on account Of the
supposed imposslbility of the existence Of
such character as thas 2fits heroine.
The prominent noveEsts of the day are at
present engaged in writing for periodicals,
which proves that continued stories by first
class writers are an indispensable feature Of
the monthlies, and that TO them writer's look,
to great extent, for employment. Charles
Dickens, for instance, is writing his " Great
Expectations" for Harper's Weekly, while
he will soon resume his Uncommercial
Traveller series in Once-a- Week. The Sc
ries Of these sketches has already been pub
lished in book form. Thackeray is writing
for the Cornhill Magazine and Harper's new
story, " Philip" Mr.. Anthony TrollOpe will
contribute new novel to DR.. Msekay's Lon
don Review. Mrs. Stoves new story, " The
Pearl of Orr's leland appears both in the
New York Independent and Gassells (Lon-
dom Illustrated Paper. Miss Mulloch is
under an engagement with the proprietors of
Good Words, London journal, to write a
new serial story, to be completed in about
twelve months.
The death of Mrs. Catherine Grace Gore,
the popular English novelist, is announced
BY our resent arrivals as having taken place
about the last of January, at the age of 81.
She was no less a woman of society than Of
letters, and was equally remarkable for the
wit and brilIiancy of her conversation and
the fertility and liveliness of her pen. As
delineator of the manners of fashionable life,
she had few rivals, and of the sixty or sew
enty different works which she wrote, ex-
tending to nearly 200 volumes, there is
scarcely a page which is dull or common
place.
