ATcH1soN Kan, May 2-The steamer Joe
Kinney landed 200 Mississippi negroes at this

forlorn-looking set, and have no prospects
ahead. They are scantily provided with
broken-down household goods, but possess an
abundance OF dogs and muskets. They are
shelter, and are entirely dependent on public
charity. They say they have been duped by
false Inducements held out to them to come to
Kansas. but now that they have reached the
promised land intend to make the best of 1t
and go to work at whatever offers.

AllSOutherners are not Legrees. There are

they know any such, should have stayed

possible. As for the political association In
Boston which now claims to have been the
motive power In sending these hordes away
from their oppressors, what is 1t doing to
feed and clothe them now thatit has set them
adrift? Money was always forthcoming
when needed to flood the South with agents

creatures are starving and dying OF disease,
