Since the departure of our little
Kansas company, we have been unable
until now to gather any intimation as
to their progress westward. Indeed,
our very kind and attentive contem-
poraries, the Columbia papers, having
so studiously avoided any mention of
them, we had reached the conclusion
that they had "swamped" in Cock
wells lane, or thereabouts. From the
following letter of Mr.. Rice to the An
derson Gazette, however, we have
found the track, and henceforward we
shall endeavor to keep to 1t. Ere this,
doubtless our brave little band" have
been in the fray" and we expect short
ly to tell good story Of them. Mr..
Rice's letter was dated at Nashville,
Tenn. May 25: Dear Edie: 1t may be of
some little interest to your readers to
know that the company of Kansas emf
grants. under the command of Gen. A.
c. Jones Of Laurens. have safely reach
ed the city of Nashville. Major Jones
left Laurens with twenty-three faith
full followers, and has received REIN
forcements from the districts Of York
and Edgefield, respectively until his
company now numbers forty men. The
general Is accompanied by his accom-
plished lady, who by her kindness and
amiability, contributes much to the
comfort and enjoyment Of the COM

the Congaree house, in Columbia, and
were charged full price. Had we stop

passed Scott free" Do you and your
readers take a note of this and pa

southern rights. The Greenville and
Columbia and South Carolina rail-
roads each complimented us with
tickets; but that Yankee concern
the Atlanta road, made us open our
purses and shell out the cash. Can't
you hit 'em again." Major? The Geor-
gia state road evidenced the attach
ment of that state to our cause by
sending us on our way rejoicing with
out fee or reward. 'Tis well that these
things be known, so that the public
may know which way the wind
blows" At Augusta, the Globe House,
Of which a Yankee Is said to be pro
prietor), also fleeced us. But upon the
hole we have not any severe charge
10 allege against hotel proprietors. and
railroad companies. We have been
treated so kindly, and met with such
hearty receptions from the public gen
orally, that we are disposed to forgive
, he few, who by their acts at least, de-
clare their hostility to the success OF
the cause Of the South in Kansas. By
the way, we hear from both public:
and private sources, that hot times
are expected in Kansas. This evening
