- letter of the Hon. D. R. AtchUori, of MisB?uri,
on tfi? Affairs of Haoaas.
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

' ' . 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

were written; newspapers argued,arid jireachr
ore^rencltt'd that to abolition?^ Kansas
was,to drive slavery from Missouri.In this
they were right. 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

A likely NEGRO GIRL for 6ale. '-Apply
at this office. [Jan 25 tf
Tijehe is yet no election of Speaker in
the U. S. 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. '
' L ' Vr V As
for Br. Likbbr, he sod his friends, in

Ta^-following cxtract is from the Washington
correspondence of tho. Charleston

that our Government has demanded the recall
of Mr. Ckampton, the British representative,
luit that negotiations still continue.?
Yesterday, after n long sitting, the Cabinet
determined to suspend diplomatic relations
with England. This bold and deei- j
ded, if not rash measure, has been adopted j
for the reason that the President, in tlie j

The final nn?\ver of the British Government
came out by tlio Atlantic. This ultimatum
of that Government amounts not
only to an utter refusal of further explanation,
hut it is accompanied with a declaration
from Lord Palmerston that he will
bring before Parliament the whole subject
of American affairs, and will adviso that his
Government shall adhere to the stand it

The South Carolina CoIJego.
AIcusra. 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*. And the want
onotijreit generally maoVfeofed ia tboee
who constitute that Board .oftu&s < like indifference
on 4be pert of the^OaJtagi. Nor
1 .- ' v-1 :- ;. ' ~
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.
