KANSAS GTRCTTXAR. OFFICE I.AFAYKTTE KASSAH IMMIGRATION SoctF.T Y, I ,A FAYETTE l-UCNTY, Mo., MbVcll 12ft, IbftO. To the People of the Southern Oftates:? On llio undersigned, Managers of the ' l*afayctte Emigration Society," lias devolved tin* important duty of culling the attention of the people of tlio slave-holding States, to the absolute necessity of iiniuu<Iiate action on tlieir part, in relation to tlio nettlement of Kansas Territory. The crisis id at hand. Prompt and decisive measures must be adopted, or farewell to Southern rights and independence. The western counties of Missouri have, for tli?) last two years, been heavily taxed, both iu money and time, in fighting the buttle of the South. Lafayette county alone, has expended more than 8100,000 ill monov. and :is much, or inure, ill limrv Up to tliif> time, the border counties of Missouri have upheld and maintained the rights nml interests of the South, in this struggle, unassisted, ami nut unsuccessfully. Hut the Abolitionists, staking their all upon the Kansas issue, ami hesitating at no mentis, fair or foul, are moving heaven and earth to reiuler that beautiful Territory not only n " Freo State," so called, but a den of negro thieves and " higher law" incendiaries. Missouri, we feel confident, has done her duty, and will still be found ready and willing to do all she can, fairly and honorably, for the miiutainauce of the integrity of the South. Hut tho time has come when she can no longer stand up, singlehanded, tho lone champion of the South, against the myrmidons of the entire North. It requires no great foresight to perceive that if tho " higher law" men succeed in this crusade, it will he but the commenceuiciit of a war ujxjii the institutions of the South, which will continue until slavery shall cense to exist in nun of the States, or - " - ?/ %r i "' the Union is dissolved. How, then, shall tlie.se impending evils he avoided ? Tlie answer is obvious. Settle the Territory with emigrants from the tiuuth. The population of llie Territory, at this time, is about equal; as many proshivery settlers as Abolitioni>ts; but the fanatics have emissaries in all the Free State*?in almost every village?and by misrepi .tation and falsehood, are engaged iu collecting money and enlisting men to tvranize over the South. Is it iu the nature of Southern men to submit without resistance, to look to the North for their laws and institutions? We do not believe it! If, then, the South is influenced by a spirit of self respect and independence, let societies be formed to assist emigrants. Those who cannot emigrate, can contribute money to assist tho^e who can. We have such societies iu Missouri, and we can induce more people to emigrate, than we are able to support. If the whole South would adopt this system, we would aiiccccil; Kansas wonM be a Slave State, and tho slavery agitation would cease. If we permit the North to make an Abolition State of Kansas, tlio whole South must submit to be governed by the North. Will the Suiah help us ? The great struggle will come off at the next election, in October, 1850, and unless the South can at that time maintain her ground, all will be lost. We repeat it, the crisis has arrived. The time has come for action?bold, determined action?words will 110 longer do any gooil?wo must have men in Kansas; and that too by tens of thousands. A few will not answer. If we should need ten thousand, and lack one of that number, all will count nothing. Let all, then, who can come, do so at once. Those who cannot come, must give their money to help others to come. There are hundred* of thousand of bio.id acres of ricli land, worth from to to per acre, open to settlement and pre-emption, at 81 25 per acre. Let, then, the farmer euino and bring his slaves with him.? There are now one thousand slaves in Kansas, whose presence there strengthens our causc. Shall we allow these rich lauds iiid this beautiful country to bo overrun by our Abolition enemies? We know of a surety that they have emissaries and ppies in almost every town, village and city in the South, watching our movements and tampering with our slaves. Let us, then, be vigilant and activc in the cause; we must maintain our ground. The loss of Kansas to the South, will be the death kuell of our dear Union. Missouri has done nobly, thus far, in overcoming the thousands who have been sent out by Abolition Aid Societies; we cannot hold out much longer, unless the whole South will come to the rescue. "We need men; we neod money ; send us both, and that quickly. Do not delay ; coine as individuals, come in companies, come by thousands. Our hearts have been made glad by the late arrival of large companies from South Carolina and Alabama. They have ren|>oudcd promptly to our call for help.-? The noble Buford is already endeared to our hearts; we love him, we will fight for him, and die for him and bis companions. "Who will follow his example ? \Ve tell you now, and tell you frankly, that unless you come quickly, and come by thousands, we are gone. The elections once lost, are lost forever. Then farewell to our Southurn causc, and farewell to our glorious Union. We repeat the cry, " come over aud help us.M W. II. RUSSELL. MARHN SLAUGHTER, O. ANDERSON, G. W.

It appears that a passcgor on the steamer Illinois got into a difficulty with a native, vrhiuh was espoused by the friends of both parties, and kuives and pistols freely used. Thcro were about 1,000 unarmed Americans at the railroad terminus, who were lired into by a large force of nativ?w, and twenty-five killed.

FROM KANSAS. Extract from a Letter from a gentleman in Kantun to a friend iu this city Westtort, Missouri, April 15, 185C. Dkak (j! : Your kind letter was received a day or so since. Well, before 1 begin tu speak of war, let nie begin at tho begin nmg. Alter 1 wrote you, I stopped in Xuw Orleans for some time. I looked at tilings, and came to many conclusions 111 regard to human nature. As soon as the ice was out of the river I came up. When I arrived at St. Louis, 1 met nineteen men from Charleston, bound for Kansas, Robert DeTreville one of them. Tho most pleasing thing to tne at St. Louis was that I received a letter from M?j. liuford, saying if I would go ahead and look out locations for his men, that ho would pay me well for it. i?o 1 have been riding over the Territory ever since I arrived, and have seen a good deal of it. While on my travels 1 got on the good side of an intillcnlinl man, and lie gave me a commission to survey a road from Fort Scott to Fort Atkinson, at live dollars per day, and furnished me with everything. I will get out pretty far on the plains. Foit Atkinson is west of the groat bend on tho Arkansas river. I will have a time with the buffalo and Indians. I have an idea of taking out c.mn o..,l ?? ? OVM.U ^vvua ?UIU unuillg ttllll IIJU lliUlctlia tor their robes. I can make seven or eight hundred per cent by it. It will take nic three months to finish the survey. There is no difficulty in getting employment or ollico here, it' a man will only be right: ? common mechanics get from two dollars to three dollars per day. Noiv, in regard to the lands, Ac, this is tho prettiest country I ever saw, and the richest land. The country is mostly prairie. Timber only on the streams, but the timber is very fine, walnut, hickoiy, oak, &c. Entire fence8, houses, ?tc., arc built of walnut. Coal exbts in the greatest abundance. ? Stone of the finest kind for fencing and building also. The prairie is tnoro or less broken, but not too much, and the soil is of such a nature that it does not wash.? It will produce from eighty to one hundred bushels to the acre, of corn, oats and wheat in proplion. Grapes flourish here. The prairies are covered with the finest kind of j grass Fur cattle. 'J lie scenery is beautiful, no liiuber to obstruct tlie view. You can see mm httudcrd miles from some places, and it is delightful to stand and look over an immense prairie. The climate is delightful. I am in a tent, and feel as hearty aiid healthy as if I were in a palace. lty J the by, this is the wor*?t country for winds j I ever saw; it blows like a hurricane for days at a lime. To give you an idea, the wagons that go over to Santa b'e have to take spades along, and when the wind comes they stop and dig holes to let in the wheels, so as to prevent the wagon from blowing over. Now in regard to pulictical matters, the people out of Kansas know more of our affairs than we do ourselves. It is all a mistaken idea about our being in continual danger. I have traveled three hundred mile* in the Territory without a single knifo or pistol, or anything of the kind. People ! here aro as quiet as in South Carolina.? ; Abolitionists are coming in every day.? ] The Southern emigration has been three j times as great this spring, as it has been from , the North. A great many of these Yau- I kecs become dissatisfied and go back.? | They don't like the idea of fighting the j border Uuffiaus. They arc so much taken (those that arc here) with tlie new State party, that they swear they will not obey tlio laws of the land. We apprehend 6omo difficulty at Court in Franklin county, the last of this month. Some of the Yankees are on the Grand Jury, and say they will not attend, and daro the authorities to make them. I tell you the truth ; if there ever is another difficulty, you may listen for thunder from the Southern men. The border ruffians swear they will k.ll every Yankee who opposes the law. They will uot bo treated so kindly as they were at Lawrence before. Lnwrcnce, their mighty city, will be razed to the ground, and the inhabitants killed or driven out of the country. It will be terrible, I tell you. Ten thousand men will come from Missouri at twenty-four hours' ; warning, prepared to exterminate every ! Yankee in the land. These Yankees are the meanest set of men on earth. They j arc the scurf and scuiu of creation?will ' steal, ,?nd do anything. They openly say \ they intend to abolitionize Missouri as soon : as thcv get Kansas in as a free State. ADDITIONAL BY THE PERSIA. Austria intends occupying every corner of Italy where political excitement can be gut tip in excuse for events which arc of daily increasing importance. Additional Austrian troops are ordered to remain in the States now occupied by Austrian forces. Tho garrisons in Lombardy are to be increased, in fact Austria is already at war with Pcidmont, though their armies arc not face to face, and a struggle cannot be long delayed. Austria will, however, try to postpone a quarrel in the field until the policy of France and Kngland towards Italy ; is declared, the work of reconciling tho affairs of that country having commenced in Paris. Tho Emperor of Austria has signed the treaty. When the ratifications have been made public," a thanksgiving will be proclaimed throughout the country. It was reported in London, on tho 19th ult., that Lord Pnlmerston nnd Mr. Labouehere were nbout to retire from the Ministry, nnd licit the lion. Sidney Ilerbert and Sir James Graham would take charge of the Government. It is believed, however, to be an unfounded rumor. It was rumored in England thut Sir James Graham had exacted a promise from Lord Palmerston that every a maule and concession should bo made on tho Amcrcau question. A rising of two or three hundred had occurred iu Bulgaria, for the avowed object of expelling the Turks. The ship Blanchard, Captain Lawrence, from Charleston for Hrnmon ?w?u UCUII wrecked near Deal. /3T The Washington (Texaa) American says that Black Cat, the only living child of the famous Indian warrior, Tectimseh, with a few of his followers, is eucamped in that neighborhood.

MASSACRE AT PANAMA. Late accounts from this place, state that; a difficulty occurred between a native and | a passenger upon the Panama Kail Koad, i which grew into a general riot among the I passengers and natives. The natives, after ! a skirmish, retired, but soon returned with j a much larger force and made an assault j upon the passengers. Some twenty were j killed and about fortv wounded. The bncrgage of passengers and the depot were bro- ; ken open. Several innocent women and i children were murdered. An attempt was ; made to get the passengers on board the j little steamer; hut the natives formed a 1 guard at the beach, and stripped men, wo- i men and children as they approached, ta-1 king the women's rings from their lingers : and ears, and their pins from their culls and 1 bosoms. BEMINOLEfi IN FLORIDA. I5v a passenger in the steamer Palutku,' says a correspondent of the Charleston J Courier, we learn that evidences arc apparent of Indians in a hostile attitude in tlie vicinity of Tampa. On the 10th ult., a man was shot dead in his field, about fifteen miles from that town. The settlers near by at once foi led together, and there being every indication that Indians concerncti iu the attack were in some numbers, a party of volunteers immediately left Tampa and went southward in pursuit. They were directed to the point whither the Indians were supposed to have fled, and an express cania i?f'?

If we were asked what had induced tho present political sentiment in South Carolina, in referenco to a representation in the Cincinnati Convention, no better answer could bo given, than that some of her people have been deluded into tho belief that by going into the Convention, wo will secure the re-election of Piehce.? Knowiug the feeling of the people in favor of him, the conventionists have, by deceptive arguments, misled them into the opinion that if we only send delegates to Cincinnati, that all will bo right, and Pierce will bo our next President. Bui will such be the result of sending delegates to Cincinnati I It is a conceded point by tbe knowing oucs, that he will uot get tbo nomination. Ko, lie who has beeu faithful, murfl be thrown overboard by the Convention. lleuce, we are to conclude that the Convention system foils to secure the most meritorious for President. We believe that if the South to-day was free from the trammels of the National Convention, nothing would be more easily accomplished than to retain for the next four year* our prcseut, i Chief Magistrate. If the South conld to* day unanimously resolve to support Pierce, < the few conservative men of the North i would accept and support our cVoioe.

Wo had tho pleasure of attending tho annual meeting of the Stockholders of tho Greenville Columbia Rail Road, licld in Columbia on the 1st and 2d inst. We were not in time to witness tho proceedings of the lirat day; but \ve condense tho following from the Columbia papers : The meeting organized?the President in tho Chair. The meeting opened l?y prayer from Rev. Mr. Gamkwell. It was ascertained that the stoek represented was sufllcieut to proceed with business. Tho President submitted his report with that of the Superintendent. The re ports were referred to ;i committee of uine. Dr. O. I>. Iuvine offered a resolution that the stockholders be allowed to travel on the Koad free of charge for the next year, to the extent of 5 per cent, on their stock, which was referred to the committee to whom the reports were referred. Col. Marshall called for the report of the committee appointed at tho last meeting, on the subject of the proposed amalgamation of the Laurens with the Greenville Koad. The President, who was Chairman, reported against the amalgamation. The report was agreed to as a final settlement of the question. On motion of Mr. J. S. Smith, the following committee was appointed to nominate officers: l)r. A. Evins, John Smith, II. T. Teaks, J. 1\ Mahsiiall, Dr. 11. XV. Guides, J. M. IIeahst and L. J. Jones. The Convention then adjourned to meet ill 'J a. id. next tlav. The second day we were present. The Convention met pursuant to appointment. The proceedings of the first day were read l?y the Secretary. {Stockholders not present on the first day, were requested to enrol their names. The committees appointed the preceding day, were called on to report. Maj. Ii. L'\ Pkhkv, Chairman of the committee to whom had heen referred the annual reports of the President and Directors, Superintendent and Treasurer, reported ill substance as follows: Your committee congratulates the stockholders on (ho present condition and future prospects of the Company. The income increase^ while the expenses have been diminished. The stockholders have generously sacrificed their interest to the convenience of the public. They now have a Road yielding an income of ?-79,000, with tl... ..? : W..W , w.v.J jlrtl IU? coat of which has been about ^'2,500,1)00, whilst they have only paid out of their own pockets $l,3-i7,0U0. The debt of the Company is estimated at less than $1,000,000. When this debt is paid, every share, costing $ 20, will be worth $43 or $30. The stock must advance more than 100 per cent.? The Company should use every eftbrt to extinguish this debt; it should not be increased ; no new projects of extending the Road should be undertaken at this time. The completion of the Blue Kidgc Road will render the Koad from Ninety-Six to Aiken necessary; this necessity does not now exist. The committee reported against the resolution to allow stockholders free tickets to the extent of 3 per cent, of their stock ; but recommended that the Bonds of the Company be issued to the stockholders in payment of the 20 per cent, assessed upon their stock. The report was immediately considered, lion. J. H. O'Neal moved to strike out that part of the report which recommeuded the uoiiuing oi tiie assessment, winch, after discussion, was by a viva voce vote stricken out. He also moved to strike out another section, restricting the sale of Bonds at a discount, except in car.es of absolute necessity. Maj. Perrv resisted the inotiou, which, after an animated discussion, was carried by a slock vote. Pending the vote, a question was raised jis to whether the resolution of the Legislature, appointing Maj. Pkkrv and Co). Marshall Proxies for the State, conferred the power jointly or severally, aud whether in the absence of Col. Marshall, the vote of the State stock could be.cast? The Chair decided that if it was a joint power, it could not be exercised severally. Mr. Strauss offered a resolution that the Board of Directors mako arrangements to pay the interest on the assessment up to 1st January, 1856 ; that the interest on the assessment should tlipronffor nnirl nnmmllv and so much of the principal as the Gnancial condition of tho Company would permit, which was not agreed to. The President prcscuted the report of G. E. Walker, engineer appointed to survey the route from Greenville to the North Carolina line, and from New Markot to Aiken. On motion of Mr. Cox, they were ordered to he published as a part of the proceedings of the Convention. Dr. Evins, Chairman of coiuniittco on nominations, reported? For President: TIIOS. C\ PERRIN. For Director*: J. B. O'Neal, D. Nance, J. N. Whitxeb, J. P. Reed, V. M'Bee, T. M. Cot, Chakllb Smith, A. C. Hawthorn, J. M. Allen, D. Blake, C. G. Memminger. Dr. J. Logan nominated Gen. J. Gillam for Director. Tiio old Board of Directors were elected, except Memminger, vice Lawton of Charleston. On motion the Convention adjourned, to meet in Coliuttl>H in May, 1857. We would remark, though not as a part of the proceeding*, thai we oquM notice ibatlbe Road had been frastlj fmprored taring the last year. Nearly ail the treating baa been filled, and la^tttorta btilt I'be lloadi? to e*c*li#rt fiMahg order. ThoCoinpurty U Xiiriibld a# yef td tkdaiit a dividend, but at no distant day wo may expect it. Tlie grand cause which has up to this time precluded a dividend, may be attributed to the fact that the stockholders did not subscribe enough, by more than ouc-ludf, to build the lioad; the consequence of which has compelled the Company to make a debt of at least a million of dollars, the interest of which, with othev debts which have been paid, has absorbed the net profits of the lload. It has cost about two million five hundred thousand dollars, the interest of which, at G nor cant.. ' I * would be one hundred aiul lil'ty thousand dollars; and the income of the Road, deducting the running expenses, reaches nearly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, so tliat if tliu stockholders h;id originally paid enough to build the lload, without creating debts, the Company would for three years past have been able to declare a dividend of 4 or o per cent., ami could at this meeting have declared a dividend ol G per cent.

The Hibernian llall, last evening, was ! crowded to its extreme limits by an eager I and delighted auditory, and hundreds were ; compelled to stand in the aisles and about the doors for want of seals. The subject of the lecture was a continuation of the prohibitory argument 011 which he. dwelt the night before, at the Institute IIhII, interspersed with anecdotes ana graphic sketches ot ilic desolating influence of intemperance, and tli?? healthful effects and cheering prospects of the temperance reform. lie spoke for an hour and a half to a house hushed to au audible stillness, and wrought up to au almost enthusiastic pitch. We have rarely witnessed a more complete triumph of thrilling oratory and impassioned eloquence. He seemed to have thrown tho witching spell of his power about the hearts and wills of his audience, until the mastery was complete, and they wept or laughed at his bidding. We Enow that the immense crowds that have heard him will regret the shortness of his stay among us, which compels him to leave this morning to visit other parts of the State, ?i programme of which has already appeared in the public journals. c neea not uespeaic lor Jinn a liearty and generous welcome wherever be may go, for his fame has preceded him, atid all will be not only willing, but anxious, to sco and hear him. He has won a name and a reputation as a temperance lecturer, second only to that of (Jough, and it is thought by many that he even excels him. When near the close of his address last evening, he requested several gentlemen to hand round cards through the erowd, for the purpose of obtaining signatures, when over two hundred names were obtained, which will be added to Palmetto Division. Travel from the South.?The New Yoik Expreas says that the travel from the South, tbsu early in the season, is beginning to be very extensive. The steamers all arrive well filled.
