Letter from J. H. Danlorth.
The following letter is from J. H. Danforth,
’formerly of Alabama, but now a resident of Kan
sas, aud one of the leaders of the pro-slavery party
that Territory, to Alpheis Baker, Esq., of
Lufaula, Ala. We copy it fiom the Eufaula Spirit
of tite Soutfi :
Johnston Co., K. T., July 1,1557.
Dear Baker : In fulfillment of my promise, 1 give
vou my impression of matters and*things generally
:u Kansas Territory. It would be useless for me
to acknowledge again the obligations I feel to you
for your elibrts in the great cause. I have done so
before. By your efforts just one year ago, assisted
by Johnston, Clayton and Jones, you raised money
eiiough to send two large companies of “actual set
tlers’ to this Territory. One of these companies,
Col. Clayton had charge of—the other I conduct
ed ; and I but speak the sentiments of every man
here when I say, that these two companies land
ing and locating have done more good, practically,
for our cause than all else beside; aud why? be
cause K has demonstrated that southern men with
iheir negroes can settle here, stand the climate,
live better and make more money than they possi
bly could iu a cotton growing region State. You
are familiar with the country and know this to be
true.
Tne election for delegates to form a Constitution
is just over. 1 had the houor of being returned
from this county. This Convention will inevitably
form a pro-slavery Constitution. Will it be rati
fied? I think so, 1 hope so. But if Gov. Walk*r's
; atc its carried o»t, we are lost! uuless the whole
South rallies to the rescue. Walker swears that
the whole people, all residents of the Territory,
shall vote when the ratification is left to the peo
ple. Our party say, only the legal, regisUred vo
ters shall have a voice. Which will prevail, I can
not tell; if Walker’s, then God Kelp us ! for I fear
the South will not. If our conusels prevail, sla
very will be recognized in the Constitution of
Kansas by a ratification vote ; but then we have
t ;:o assurance that it will continue to be recognized,
for th** reason that the \ankees having a majority
in the can easily, after the State is ad
mitted, change the Constitutor Uow now have
the Froesoilers obtained this majority ? and how
is it to be made a minority? By the aid of So
cieties in New England, they have floated in
to the Territory three settlers to our one, and
we can only bring them into a minority by send
ing .men and money in time for the Fall elec
tions. Great Cod! will the South surer wake up?
Will she continue to sleep on a volcano which
threatens every moment to cngulph her? Is there
uothing which will rouse her from her slumbers?
Will not the sacrifices which Boone, Atchison,
Stringtellow, Clarkson, Russell, Buford and others
have made in her behalf bring the flush of shame
to her brow ? it is appaling to think of the apa
thy of the South. Here, within three miles of me,
s Col. A. G. Boone, who has ruined himself pecu
niarily iu this cause ; and within a circuit or fifty
miles I can find Clarkson, Atchison, and others,
who have almost bankrupted themselves for the
South, and yet she slumbers on, and makes no ef
fort to lend a helping hand to those who have sac
rificed themselves in her cause !
This is a horrible picture to contemplate. How
different the Yankees act! For every dollar ex
pended in behalf of freesoil by the citizens of this
Territory, ten is paid them back ; of these things,
I speak from actual, personal knowledge. Two
ustances within my knowledge will illustrate the
truth of toy assertions. Col. Boone has expended
thousands of dollars for the Bouth, and has never
received one dollar in return. Judge Wakefield, a
Freesoiler, had his house, worth some two er three
hundred dollars, burned during the troubles last
summer, aud the New England Kansas Aid Society
has built for him in its nlacc a magnificent
atone mansion worth to-uay three thousand
dollars. lam almost tempted to deny my birth
place. Now, what are we of the South to do?
There is but one answer to the question. Do
as the Yankees do; establish a depot of money,
information and provisions, and when settlers
arrive from the South, deal out to them liberally,
and ray word for it, all will be well. The Kansas
Executive Committees have so far kept the South
on top, but they have exhausted their means and
can help us do no more, unless they themselves
receive help. Let the South continue to send aid
to them, and all the Walker's in the Union cannot
wrest Kansas from the South . God speed you in
vour mission, and may abundant fruit be your re
ward; if you fail, a long good night to any more
efforts.
I must state, though, before closing, that crops
generally in the Territory are fine. We shall have
enough this fall to feed all Southerners who come,
but no Yankee can get corn from in y crib. 1 have
only sixty-five acres in corn, but shall make, with
ordinarv seasons, not less than four thousand five
hundred bushels of the staff of life.
Yours, verv truly, J. 11. Danforth.
A. Baker. Jr., Lsq.
# The Weather and Crops.
A long continued rain storm occurred here, yes
terday aftcruoou, doiug considerable damage to
property in the city and along the line of the
Houth-Western railroad, as far as Tobosofl'ekee
creek. The three o’clock traius, for Columbus and
Atlanta, departed at the usual hour, but the former
could get only three miles, where was found a
breach in the embankment and had to turn back.
The Macon A Western train had proceeded beyond
the junction with the South-Western railroad only
a mile, when it also was compelled to return, owing
to the washing away of a portiou of the track near
Beasley’s. During the short abseuce of these trains
a breach in the road occurred, just beyond the
South-Western railroad machine shop, which pre
vented the return t d town of either of them.
The evening train from the West, due here at
quarter past six P. M., came as far as Tobesoffekee
CreeK, where, we learn, are several large breaches
in the embankment. The mail and passengers
have been brought up m omnibuses. The Cen
tral railroad train came through as usual this morn
ing, leading us to hope that the greatest disasters
from the storm have been noticed.
The damage in the city has been considerable.
The bridge and culvert on Fourth street, near the
passenger depot, was swept off, by the accumula
tion of waters down the sewers and gullies, leading
thereto. The stables of Mr. Brown and Edward
Johnson, in the rear of Brown’s Hotel, were lifted
from their moorings and floated off to the culvert,
where they were thrown, in a wrecked condition,
on the embankment of the street. Mr. Brown’s
horse was gotten out of the stable a short time be
fore it was broken to pieces, rather the worse for
the bruises received in his voyage. A buggy in
one of the stables was broken to fragments.
Below Fourth street, on Plumb, and near the
curvature towards the depot, are one or two small
houses occupied by negroes. Into these houses
the water rose to the tops of the windows, and a
negro woman saved her three children from drown
ing by tying them up to the rafters till relief catne
to them.
Os course, it will take some time to repair the
damages on the South-western railroad, but we un
derstand there was a large force, of several hun
dred, immediately put upon the road, to make
auch temporary connection as will trains
to pass, as soon as practicable.
Macon Citizen, August 1.
Tremendous Rain in Macon. —We are informed
by Mr. S. Rose, the senior editor of the Journal dc
Messenger , tha9 Macon was visited on Friday after
noon last, by the heaviest rain storm which has
ever fallen in that locality.
Several small dwelling houses and stables were
washed away, and the culverts on the streets, and
the railroad tracks seriously damaged. The con
nection on the Macon A Western road and Central
railroad was not broken up, though many pas
sengers who desired to reach our city in time for
the New York steamer of yesterday, were deterred
from fear that the track had been swept away be
low Macon. The South-western railroad was con
siderably injured about six miles below Macon.
Savannah Georgian, Aug. 2.
Growing Weather.— The rains of the last few
days have evidently been quite general. The
river is rising, which shows that there has been a
plentiful fall in the country above. We learn that
corn now is, as a general rule, very good, though
fa some cases there may have been too much mois-
ture. Cotton is very rapidly coming forward;
warmth and moisture bringing out the weed at a
rapid rate. Everything now depends on a late
and dry fall—with that, we may get somewhat
above an average crop.
Selma (Ala.) Reporter, July 29.
The rains have been so abundant that all the de
mands of the growing crops have been answered.
We fear the cotton has been already injured, es
pecially on low lands. The country is generally
healthy. —Albany Patriot July 30.
There has fallen abundant rains m Chester Dis
trict, £>. C., and vegetation seems likely to be in
jured by the superfluity of moisture. Corn looks
very well, and the Standard says “the like of the
grain crops that will be made this year, according
to present indications, has never been dreamed
of.”
Rains. —This section has been favored for the
last week with copious showers, the effect of which
the crops already exhibit. Ou some lands, prairie
sloughs and river bottoms, there has been perhaps
too much rain, and continuance of it would result
in much injury to the crops on them.
The late rains have been marked with a peculiar
ity which has been generally noticed—namely, an
entire absence of all appearances of electricity, or at
least of its passage of fluctuation, notwithstand
ing the weather has been close and sultry. Some
deem this an evidence of au unwholesome state of
the atmosphere.
Montgomery (Ala.) Journal , July 23.
Rain. —On Monday evening aud Tuesday morn
ing last, we had quite a pleasant and agreeable
rain in this place and vicinity; we were glad in
deed to see it, for the crops and all kinds of vege
tation have began smartly to suffocate and thirst
for the want of a good healthy rain. It is truly
gratifying to the planters and farmers of the coun
try to see good and gentle showers come now' and
then. Welcome! thrice welcome! ye reviving
rams.— Sunny South, Benton co., (Ala.,) July 25.
Weather and Crops. —During the last week we
have been visited by genial and copious showers,
much to the satisfaction of our planting friends, as
is amply attested by their happy and hopeful faces.
It is the general expression, cotton gooa, corn nev
er better. —Brandon (Miss.) Platform , 25/4 July.
Rain—'The Crop s.—lmmense quantities of rain
have fallen during the last ten days, and the crops,
iu consequence, have greatly improved. There is
now but little doubt that the corn crop, especially
in Decatur, will be exceedingly line.
Bainbridge Argus, July 20.
Fro?n m Correspondence the Savannah Republican.
St. Johns River, E. F., July 30, 1857.
Editor Republican: The late heavy rains have
materially affected the low laud cotton crops, run
ning the plant up to weed in many localities, w'hile
on the dry and thirsty soils they have been bene
ficial. It would be unreasonable to expect full
crops, or even an average one, when we take into
consideration the lateness of the spring, aud the
cold nights of the summer.
Railroad Interruption.— On Friday night and
Saturday morning the trains ou the Muscogee rail
road failed to reach our city in consequence of the
tressel-work of the bridge across Tobesofkee
Creek, a few miles this side of Macon, being wash
ed away by a very heavy freshet in that creek.
We understand that there are two breaks in the
bridge, which will require some time to permanent
ly repair, but in the meantime temporary arrange
ments will be made to enable the mail and pas
sengers to pass over, so that there will be no fur
ther interruption to the communication between
Columbus and Macon. Inconsequence of the ac
cident we had no mail from the Easton Saturday;
hence our paper has less variety to day than usual.
Columbus Sun, August 3.
Bank of Morgan.—We publish the following
communication for the benefit of the public. We
know nothing of the facts beyond what is here
stated:
Mr. Editor: During the session of the last Leg
islature, an act was passed giving to such incorpo
rations therein named, and such others who should
take stock, a charter for a bank to be located at
the town of Morgan* Calhoun county, Ga.
Some two or three weeks since, a person purport
ing to be from New York, came to our town, and
gave the information that bills had been issued in
view of his procuring said charter. He, however,
left, without consummating his purpose. Since
which time, bills on said bank has reached our
place for redemption.
We feel that it is due to the public that these
facts should be made known, that they may not be
imposed upon by having these bills palmed off’on
them.
The said charter has never been transferred to
any one, and consequently any bills on said bank
are worthless. Calhoun.

Crops and IF eather. —There have been unusually heavy
and protracted rains throughout the Cotton region, so far as we

growing finely, but those in low situations are much injured.
While the farmers are gratified at the prospect of an abundant
Corn crop, they express fears that the continued wet weather
will seriously injure the Cotton crop.

Wheat.— Since our last report of the 22d inst., wc have to
note a decline of from ir>C<42oc. on new. and nearly as much on
old. the arrivals bflnß rather larger than anticipated, and the
demand confined principally to the city millers, have produced
a greater decline than was looked for thus early in the season.
The largest fall in price, in any one day of this season, was yes
terday, when the market gave way 5<&7 cents, and on inferior
qualities still more ; about 12.000 bushels were pressed for sale
in the Corn Exchange yesterday, one third of which only was
sold, and it is expected to-day there will he as much or more
offered : as it will be all wanted, we anticipate but a slight do
cline—inasmuch as our city demand is estimated at a consump
ti n of 30,000 bushels V day, or 6000 bbls. Flour, which is nearly
double the quantity offered for sale on any day during the last
four or five weeks. There has been a great reduetfon in the
supply of Wheat, compared with last season. The receipts in
our city since the. opening of the Erie canal, from May oth to
the 22d inst., as compari d with a corresponding period of Inst
year, (1856,) are about a million and a half bushels less of
wheat. The crop is nearly ail harvested, we believe, in almost
every .Slate, exceeding last year in quantity, and surpassing in
quality. The only complaint we hear of any ipjurv by weevil.

Naw York, March 19, 1857.
This is to certify that I have been troubled for almost four
years with a choking sensation, sometimes so bad ae almost to
suffocate me; I employed two regular physicians, but to no
purpose. I was then r*rau:uled to try a bottlo of Dr. M’Lane’s
Celebrated Vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Uro3., Pittsburgh.
I took two teaspoonafuU at one dose. It soon begun to operate,
when it made thorough work. (I hail a regular worm factory
within me.) I should judge It brought away from me some
two quarts of worms; they had the appearance of having
bursted. I took the remainder of the bottle at two doses. The
cfftect war, it brought away about one quart more, all chopped
to pieces. I now feel like a different person.
