Cattle in Danger Of Starving.

The Levenworth (lansas) Times of the 4th
inst. says:s'There is strong probability that
large numbers of cattle in Nebraska will
starye to death, unless the weather turns
warm Immediately. Grazing is a great bus.
mess in the Platte Valley; immense herds of
cattle are wintered in the vicinity of North
Platte, upon the grass which, in that region,
usually furnishes good grazing during the
whole year. Very few herders ever make
any preparations for feeding, as the cattle
can do fully as well on the grass. There are
frequent snow storms during the winter, but
nearly always accompani ed by winds which
pile the snow up in great drifts in the low
places, leaving the upland bare, so that the
cattle experience no diff Guilty in picking a
living. the snow of last week, however, came
without any wind, and covered the ground
evenly in all places; this was followed imme-
diately by a warm day, which melted the
snow a little on top, and then the cold weall-
er that followed formed crust which pre-
vents the snow from being drifted by sub
sequent winds, and thus effertually cuts off
the cattle from their supplies. Numbers of
men in different parts of the West, few in
this city among the number, are largely
interested in Nebraska herds, and will look
anXiously for the coming of a warm spell
that shall melt the snow and expose the
grass in the Platte Valley. II this does
not come in a very short time, the inerita-
BILE consequence will be the loss of thousands
of cattle by starvation.''

than 20 per cent OF three insurance compan-
les none can continue business. Of $4,000
600 in railroads, no dividends can be expected.
OF 5000 houses in Charleston, 800 have been
burnt, and others almost irrcparably damaged.
OF estates of descendants and minors, and OF
property in litigation, four-tifths are represent
cd by Confederate securities, and are there
fore valueless. OF the many large and valua-
bic estates in Beaufort district and the adjacent
islands, all have been abandoned, and many
have been sold for taxes. OF the stock, horses,
hogs, cattle farming implements, utensils and
furniture and silver ware, all but an inconsid-
cradle amount have been consumed, destroyed.
or taken. OF money in the hands of our citi-
zcns at the commencement of the war; or az
cruing from the sale Of property or the prac-
tice of professions, all has been invested in
