A ,* f <$?,'-' Platte City, Dec. 15,1865. jjri'-y Dear Sir: I hnve rend, Willi intense interestso much of Governor Johnson's Mosj* Jy? Sago to the Georgin Legislature, an refers to our "Federal Relations." The question of f- *. , slavery is the only one of vital importance. V at this time. Mun who have the least inter est in it are endeavoring to regulate and control the whole subject. Mnssiiohmsiitts, . n State as far removed from the institntion !h .v of slavery and slaveholder as {my other in ' ?I... IT..:? I i-ii. -i- - - I.IIU uuiuii, ic#iu.-> mi; van m ii?e erusaue ; ? ' ' . State that has advanced as little money, and certainly shed less Wood for the aoqui5 siiioii of Territory,, either slave or free, than any otlier, "1'cads Mi the war" against our Snetitntionih I have no disposition now to go farther into this matter, but my object is* to interchange opinions with you, and to give a very brief history'of parties in Kansas up to this time. I must, ^however, l>e - . permitted io say, that, in my opinion, the ? recommendations of your Governor are wise, and1, if anted on by the Legislature, will Dave a tendency, at least for a time, to ?6eek nffgression ou the part of the North.l It will furnish some evidence that one rf Southern State is resolved to cnniwlo ?.^ ' k ... -farther. I '' ' The Governor recommends, first that tlie Legislature shall provide for the call of a j Convention, upon the happening of a certain contingency. What is that contingency? .If the Federal Government shall refuse Kansas or any other Territory presenting itself for admission into the Union as a State, because said Territory presents a Constitution similar, if not identical, with that of Georgia, tfiat then Georgia, in Convention, will "take steps to protect herself and her institutions ; in a word, cut her connection with the Union. If, however, Georgia shows a determination, a fixed purpose, to carry out recommendations of the Governor, the contingencies will not arise. , - I expect to be a citizen of Kansas, and if Kansas presents herself legitimately, having : all the qualifications for a State, and is rejected because her Constitution reennrmzi.s and protects slavery, tlicn, as a citizen of Kansas, I will contend that Kansas is a State, sovereign and independent, out of the Union. When Kansas was opened up for settlement,-by white men, people from all the States rushed into, and settled in it, each carrying with him InVwife and children, his goods and chattels, and his peculiar opinions on all subjects. I think I can safely say that a largo majority of the people above described were from slave States, and particularly from Missouri. There was another class of emigrants to Kansas, and a very large class too, men sent at the expense and under the auspices of certain ''Emigrant Aid Societies," for the express and avowed purnose of Rei7.in<r nnnn . I -- 15 -J""' v"v Territory, and by their votes to exclude ' /v. slavery and slaveholders. Many of them were rash enough to nvow their purpose; in the event of failure at the ballot box, to ?. drive them by force of arras from the Tera ritory! The first trial of strength between the Abolitionists and pro-slavery men, came off in November, 1854. It resulted in the election of Gen. Whitfiuld, the Pro-Slavery candidate, by an overwhelming majority^ *Tn March last, an election was held for merabere of the Tetritorial Legislature, with , the same result. The Legislature met and adjourned after enacting a code of laws for the government of the Territory. The Kansas code will compare well with the best codes of any of the States. The Abolitionists repudiate the Legislature, and declare it to be their intention to resist the esecu tion of the laws. On the other hand, Governor Shannon der.lArpn it f<"> Ko hio to execute the laws. In this bo will be sus' tainod by a very large portion of the citizens of Kan^s. In the month of October last > ^ ;an election was again held for a delegate to _'r' Congrcsa-?the time and manner ofconduct: ktg the election beirjg fixed and regulated - fey.1a?rv Whitfield was re-elected almost without opposition. The , Aoolitioiiista, with ex-Governor ' Boeder kt their bead, agreed upon a subse" quent day for an eloction, which was held, and kEeeder received all the votes again. "*" This ejection was held without law, and in de|lance 6f all law. The whole proeeedby the people of Kansas with J theijontempt it deserved. The Abolitionists, cGMulliog the. people of Kansas, j:, liav? also held a convehtion to form a Con;^^^Mt?(ion foraSfate Oovernment, anddid ? luw? ana as* admiMion .S?5" Urt?

To do the one, is to do the other. Under theseem'-umstanees, what does ft become us to do ? What we have done, ha# been done in self defence. What we slafl hereafter do, time alone will show. We are preparing for tbo worst. If the settlement of Kansas hail heen left to the laws which govern emigration, it would have been a shive Territory as certainly as Missouri is a slave State. Hut inasmuch ub those laws have been violated and prevented by the force of money, and a powerful organization in the North and East, it becomes the South "to be op and doing." and to send in a population to counteract the North. This can be done with a little exertion. Thus far a few counties in Western Missouri have successfully encountered and defeated this powerful organization. Let Georgia set the example! What is to be done should l>e done quickly. This course on the part of the South will save Kansas to the South : save blood-shed, civil wa? and nerhans n dissolution nf ilm J . . V.

House of Representatives. Upwards of one hundred ballotings have been held, with little change in votes. A young man, formerly of this District, (Mr. A. T. Kahy,) writes to a friend, who has kindly shown us the letter, that ho has been mixing in some rather exciting scenes in Western life. He mentions one instance where one hundred and eleven Texan volunteers were engaged with upwards of seven hundred Indians for fivn or ??* Ii<?ik finally triumphed. Four rangers were killed, and seven wounded. The Indians lost one hundred nqd sixteen killed, and about sixty wounded. At another time the same company were surrounded, in a Mexican, town which they had taken, by about twenty-five hundred Mexicans and Indians, and were foiced to set fire to the town and retreat.? He says the Indians in the Rocky Mountains ni*e exceedingly fierce and cunning, and it requires a great deal of labor to subdue theni. A 'Word for t.hn Rnllmra. - It must be painful to every friend of the South Carolina College to learn of gucIi dissatisfaction as, from the remarks of "Alumnvb", seems prevail among the ffludents in regard to the late change in the Presidency. For oureelf, we have only one remark to make. It was our honest belief from the first that Dr. Lieder wns-tho man for the succession, and we so urged. But now that the Trustees have seen fit \o decide otherwise, we would offer our humble counsel to the students to-abide that decision as cheerfully as possible, and strive to encourage rather than annoy their new President in the trying labors of liis appointment. If they do deem it a mistake on the part of the Trustees, they 6hould not charge it to the new President. Who could blame him for accepting the position when it was tendered lo liim, or even for seeking to attain to it? "Wo hope, therefore, that, thos considering, the students will all unite in endeavoring to promote the effietency Mid comfort of JPresident McCat ]by a uniform kindness and wsosoi toward* We reaped fully submit that ft w era doing ipjustice to Mm to act otherwise.

Editort: Qn ft recent trip to Columbia, I was lod to visit the College, where memory dwells fondly on the Rcenes of by-gone days, when I roamed through its classic groves, indulging in tho.usual amount of castle-building, day-dreaming, and bright anticipations of the future. Happy, glorious days were those! and too well I know that I "ne'er shall look upon their like again." .ami, as upon the announcement of a new invention or discovery which in likely to prove important, every one is anxious to see and know something about it, so I was upon this occasion desirous to learn how the new regime of College worked. I found nmong the students but few who were pleased, 8nd even those few seemed to yield more to that principle in our nature which causes us to look up to those who are in power, than from ativ merit or "from ?nv ?J good which they expect from tbc present administration of the College. By far the majority of the students nre dissatisfied; they work with faint hearts, and Jire not hired on in learning or science by ?ny animation. Tbey look upon the now President as cold, stoical, and indifferent about their progress or improvement. Tbey, bowever, seemed determined to arouse him, for almost every night crackers are fired in front of his house. I would judge from the pre* ent fueling among the students that they will soon begin to look upon the College as a dull imprisonment, to which .they are subjected by the prejudices of pareuts, and so thinking, will pass their time in gay pleasures, wild revels and vicious enjoyments.? Then the enemies of the College will have a full opportunity of injuring it. The Professors, too, are unquestionably dissatisfied. I conversed with noneof them, but that a new man, who has neither claims upon the College nor the State, should b? elevated above those who have beep aiding larg?My in up-building the College for the last ten years, and some of them even longer, is too great an outrage to be patiently borne by men generally. I know the fact that any one of the Faculty is regarded by the students us possessing as much administrative talent as the present incumbent, and equally qualified for the offiee of President. And here I will'say thai I can but admire the manliness of i>im who has resigned, and whatever may be thought by the' ublic of the causes which have' produced his resignation, the students all seem to think he has. acted properly; The great mistake that has bees in this caw committed by the Trustee* steuld , direct the public attention to thaVbody.-? There are rsdical defect* in its constitution. The number is too great, by which, the re sponsibility if lessened, and an opportunity afforded fof thdsS&rlip ara dUfogJfafed to a performance oftbelr dutie*.

' ~ transaction of the affairs of Uie Institution, but act like, clogs upon their better qualified and moro conscientious colleagues. Onc-of the Trustees 1ms spoken of reforming the Faculty ; now I ain for striking at the root of the evil nnd reforming the Hoard of Trustees. I have jolted down these thoughts, be lievinsi them to l>e tho*oninion of innnv who are acquainted with tho College affairs; ami though they may seem harsh to ambitious factions, still, snlisfitHl a? I nm of their truth, I hope you will give them a place in the Independent Press. Alcmxcs. CONSIGNEES. The following persons have freight iu tlie Depot nt Abbeville j A H J White. R C Ilnrknesa.
