The Condition Of Kansas.

[FTonl the LeaYenWorth Conservative, 8th]
Kansas has already sent six thousand men to
fight the battles Of the Union, and her mate
rial prosperity attests the 'alue OF that saerl,
ice. On all sides Of us We sec prosperity and
success. The farmer gets IN Increased price
for his productions; tho mechanic is kept in
constant employment, and the State receives
4 forward impulse from the influx Of money
and the Stimulation given to every branch o1
day than ererbefore. A favorable season has civ.
en- us luxurlant harvest. Farmers are blessed
with full granaries and only ask for higher
prices and IN absent foe. The Government is
c2penliDg millions Of dollars here in buying
supplies, and the producer who can wait 4 few
months before selling will realize hiyl prices
for his crops. Kansas only asks that the in.
vader be kept from her. No State is more
uroepcrous to-day,

The mortality in our army from camp sick
ness is probably more than double the casual
ties Of var, and there is now an amount Of
sickness in the camps that it would be
almost impossible to estimate. There are
regiments on the Potomac that have not
enough well men to take proper care Of the
sick. Ont Of 5000 troops in General Crittcn-
denis Federal brigade at Calhoun, Ky., fully
l,0c0 are sick. The surgeons Of the regiments
at Port Royal report about one-tenth Of their
force as unfit for duty. There arc 2,6O sick
soldiers principally typhoid fever) in the hos
pitals at Louisville. The Government, On ac-
count Of the pressure upon its Washington
hospitals, has opened hospitals at Philadelphia,
with accommodations for about 200 patients.
These arc only instances Of the extent Of sick
ness in the army. A fair proportion being
one in twenty, would give for our grind army
ofhalf million men in the fieldat least 25 ,00l
men as the number unfit for duty, from causes
