Ulr. Lincoln at Home. It will be a peculiar satisfaction, says the Chicago Tribune, to tho Republicans of Illinois to know that Mr. Lincoln has carricd his own city and county that, in spite of the declaration of his enemies, his neighbors, who knew him best, havo testified their rospect. for his spotless personal character. and his eminent ability, by giving him their suffrages. In 185G Sangamon county, on Governor, gavo a Democratic majority of 278 in 1858, it gave a majority of 278 for the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer. It now cives a round hundred for Honest Old

Abe. .Never was there a field more fiercely contested than Sangamon county, and never have a candidate's character and

fitness done him better service.

Sulcidc of Hon. James F. Suit, of ('Union County. We clip the following sad announcement of the lamentable suicido of lion. J. F. Suit, of Frankfort, this State, from the Lafayette Courier of yesterday, (Wednesday) which says "Our community 'was startled this morning by the announcement that James F. Suit, an old and highly-esteemed citizen of Frankfort, Clinton county, had committed suicide at his residence in that place last evening. lie went to his office in the evening, wrote nine letters, which he deposited in the post office, and another to his wife, which he took to hi* home, and handed her in the presence of his family, with the request that she should read it. After he gave her the letter, and while she was reading it. he left the room for the back yard, when the report of a pistol was hc-arcl in lliut dii-oeUon. Upon rushing to the spot, Mrs. S. found her husband lying upon the ground in a dying condition, with a bullet hole thro' his head. The ball had entered near the right ear, and taken an upward direction, penet/ating the brain in its course. He expired immediately.— We can learn of no cause whatever for this rash act. The letter informed his wife of the contemplated suicide, requesting that he might be buried in the clothes which were then on him, and gave some information respecting his business. "Mr. Suit was among the oldest settlers of Clinton county, and has served in several places of public trust with an ability and faithfulness which won for him the esteem and confidence of his constituents. He waschosen Sheriff of

Clinton as far back as 1838, which posi

tion we believe he filled for two terms. He was afterwards, in 1846, elected and served as Representative in the lower House of the State Legislature for the counties of Clinton and Tipton. In 1854 he was chosen as State Senator from the counties of Clinton and Car

roll, and acted as such until 1S58, when he was succeeded by Mr. Odell, of Carroll. tho present Senator. In all public offices Mr. Suit distinguished himself

as an able and honest public servant, which is conceded by all who knew him. A lawyer of fine talents, a neighbor and fellow citizen of genial dispo

FATAL ACCIDESfl'.

On Friday night last, at about 9 o'clock, an Irishman, by the name of

James Whalon, a sober, good citizen, who has been for some time past in tho emplo}* of the .Railroad company, in and about the Depot, at this place, was, it issupposed, instantly killed by falling from the big bridge, north of theDepot.

Mr. W. had accompanied a friend ovor the bridge with a lantern, from solicitation, and on his return, tho bridge being wet, is supposed to have slipped and fell. The fall was to the distance of between seventy and eighty feet.—

Nothing was known of tho accident till the following morning, when his wife feeling an anxiety in reference to

his unusual absence, went in search of her husband, and found him as above stated, beneath the bridge, a lifeless corpse. He leaves a wife and two

small children.

Congress.

Tho State Journal says "the result of Congressional elections on the Gth

of this month is now definitely ascertained. Tho New York delegation stands, Republicans 23, Demociats 10. In the present Congress the Republicans number 25 to 8. They lose 2 members in New York. Indeed we lose more, for Ilaskin, who acted with tho Republicans in the organization of the present House, is succeeded by a Democrat of the bitterest kind, and Reynolds of Albany, who also acted with the Republicans most of the time,

is succeeded by Eraslus Corning, who never voted for a Republican under any circumstances. The practical loss

therefore is 4, but the nominal or party loss is 2. In New Jersey Pennington is beaten by Perry, and Adrain (anti-Lecompton Democrat, but on good terms with Republicans.) is beaten by Steele. There is a loss of 2 in New Jersey. In Massachusetts, J3urlingame is beaten by Wm. Appleton, an aristocratic old Whig, about seventy times as mean and unmanageable

as a very mean democrat. That is a loss of one in Massachusetts. In the October election we lost 2 in Ohio, and 2 in Pennsylvania. Our aggregate

loss is nine. But we gain one in Wisconsin, in the contemptible Larrabe's place we gain one in St. Louis, in Barrett's place one in Detroit, in

Cooper's place, and will probably have the effective help of Major Rollins, of Missouri, which will be 1 more, or again of 4, leaving us-a clear loss

of 5. In the present Congress at the organization wc stood 113 Republicans

to 124 Democrats, Lecompton and antiLecompton, and Americans. In the next Congress we will stand IOS Republicans to 129 of all others, ni'muio rk® Indiana returns her delegation unchanged. W. A. Richardson is elected

in the Fifth District in place of Isaac N. Morris, and I. N. Arnold is elected in the Second or Chicago District, in place of J. F. Farnsworth. All the other members are the same as in the

present Congress.

THE KANSAS FAMINE.

Systematic Relief for the Suffering People of Kansas.

More than three months ago reports reached the Eastern States in regard to thedostitutiori in Kansasin consequence of the unprecedented drouth. Thereports were, however, so contradictory, that it was deemed necessary to make a thorough personal investigation. For this purpose Thaddeus Hyatt of New York visited Kansas, and after a full inquiry, he became satisfied that it was necessary to have a thorough organization in the Territory before an appeal was made for the relief of the sufferers. To accomplish this the citizens of various counties and townships were requested to organize and appoint their own committees. Statistical tables were printed and furnished to them, and in nearly all the counties organizations have been formed. A general agency was established, consisting of Thaddeus Hyatt of New York, Gen. S. C. Pomcroy'of Northern Kansas, and W. F. M. Arny of Southern Kansas, who have entered into an agreement for the receipt and distribution of money. provisions, &c., for the relief of the sufferers.

This agreement places in the hands of Mr. Hyatt, of New York city, authority to raise money in the Eastern States to pa}" freights. fcc.-, and to the undersigned authority to raiso money and produce in the Western States, and to Gen. S. C. Pomcroy and the Rev. Mr. Mahen the business of receiving at Atchison in Kansas (which is the only termination of railroads to Kansas.) all freights, and distributing the same to the various county and township organizations—by them to be distributed to the most destitute. The conclusion of the agreement is as follows:

It is now mutually and solemnly agreed as a covenant with each other, and our benefactors in the States, as well as with our suffering people at home in Kansas, that neither one of us shall directly or indirectly receive a dime of money or produce contributed for relief, as a compensation for our time, labor or effort and shall only be entitled to compensation for incidental expenses necessary for the transaction of the business, and shall give and take vouchers as well from each other as from all other persons, and preserve tho same for a final settlement."

The reports received from the county and township committees show a great amount of destitution in prospect as well as already existing. They are too lengthy for publication, as they contain the names of each settler, and his condition and wants. A few of the reports in a condensed form can only be given hero, and these are from different portions of the Territory.

The committee of Auburn township, Shawnee county, report the names of "64 families, consisting of 351 persons. In this township 30,700 bushels of corn were raised in 1850. The crop this year will be 92 bushels! Wheat raised in 1*50 1 550 bushels in I860 only 10 bushels. Potatoes in '59, 2,715 bushels 'GO, 15 bushels. Garden pro-

§348. Thirty-three families are without money. Old corn and meal on hand, G04 bushels flour on hand, 2,005 lbs. groceries 834. Forty-seven persons have left, six persons moved in.— All will need an entire supply of seed grain next spring."

Cottonwood Falls township. Chase county, reports 29 families. 118 persons. Tho committee, in conclusion, say that "the men whose names are on this list have been here over a year have spent all the ready means which they ha and the drouth and failure of cro have left them without bread or means of procuring it."

Judge Graham, chairman of the committee for Center township. Madison county, in submitting the report, says: -One"third of tho inhabitants are in

Hit Cn'pn tvicf !incos. Of tho other thirds there are 33 families, 112 persons, that arc partially supplied 9 families are without any money. It is ascertained that unless relief is had from abroad, three fourths of the inhabitants of this country will be compelled to leave the country or starve!— A number of cattle havo died in this county of Spanish fever."

Eureka township, Greenwood county, reports "53 families, 265'persons.— They have 250 bushels of corn and meal and 9 sacks of flour not a dollar in nionej. There is not a bushel of corn or meal to the individual in the township, and only four pounds of flour to tho person 11 families are without meal or flour, except as they borrow from others."

Butler, Hunter and Otoe counties, with a population of 900 persons, are reported by Judge Lambden, P. G. Morton, Esq., and Dr. Lewillin as follows "Itis truly alarming as to crops there are none—it is a complete failure.— There will not be 20 bushels of corn raised in the three counties. Three fourths of the population arc almost destitute of money, cloths and provisions. Very few have more cattle than supply their immediate wants some indeed have been deprived of their last cow by a disease which has prevailed in this country, callcd the "Spanish Fever," Many familieshave not more than one bushel of corn meal in the house that, with some buffalo meat and milk thcj get, compose their daily food.— The facts as they really exist are, that the people are 1*11 a suffering condition, and, unless supplies are furnished from some source, much suffering will be the result."

Marshall count}*, Blue Rapids township, reports 49 families in a very destitutecondition they have little money and scarcely any groceries on hand.

Atchison county, Grasshopper township, 43 families,258persons two thirds of the families in want of winter clothing, and seed grain wanted in the spring.

Bourbon county, 429 families, 2,063 persons, all needing help more or less, as the statistical tables show.

H. A. Smith, Esq., Secretary Linn County Relief Committee, says: The reports received thus far by tho (.county co.mmittce.,,prosent a most a!ar-

the good work you have commenced. Thus we have given a view of tho many reports that have been forwarded by tho committees, which will give some idea of tljo condition of the people. It is due to the inhabitants of Kansas to say that they have been industrious when their wheat crop failed they put it in corn. I11 most instances three or four different crops have been put in the same ground, and all have failed.

It is also proper to say that the drouth has developed the fact that the soil of Kansas can withstand a dry season equal to that.of any country. Tho testimony of men who have lived in Kansas from ten to thirty years is that every year an average ..crop of 40 bushels to the aero has been raised till fhis season.— Wc have statements of the following persons to this effect:

Gen. Whistler, of Coffey county, 15 years./J. W. Brown, of Shawnee county, 11 years.

John T. Jones. Oltowa Reservation, 24 years. Peter Welsh, Osage Reservation, 24 years.

Judge Baker, Breckinridge county, 14 years and others, some oi whom have raised 80 bushels of corn to the acre in former seasons.

An arrangement has been made with the railroads that all produce.&c., shipped to Pomcroy & Mahen. at Atchison, Kansas, will be transported at very reduced rates of freight. "When shipped the bill of lading must state that it is "For the relief of sufferers in Kansas,"' and a copy of the bill of lading sent to Gen. Pomcroy at, Atchison, Kansas.

Tho necessity of a system will boiipparent to everyone—not only to reduce the price of transportation, but also for the benefit of the railroads, so as to save them trouble and prevent frauds being practiced hence, they agree to a reduction ONLY on freights forwarded as above, and on.no other.

The township of, terwardsb Potosi reports 93families destitute, and of Kansas. those families embrace 491 persons.— All agents who are in the States auSeott township reports an aggregate of thorized b}' county or township Com135 families, 105 of which need immc-j mitteesto solicit aid for special localidiatc assistance and such is the picture of other townships as well as Potosi and Scott.

By the following it will be seen that the undersigned is authorized to act as agent in the Western States. He will immediately visit the prominent points for the purpose of soliciting donations and putting the freights in the proper channels, so that they will reach the Kansas borders at Atchison, and from there be distributed to the various county and township committees. All communications addressed to W. I'. M. Arny. Chicago, III., will receive prompt attention. "Theundersigned, citizens of Kansas Territory, hereby certify that Judge W. F. M.

We commend his mission to the kind consideration of the friends of hu monity in tho States. (Signed) "S. C. Pomcroy. Atchison I.N. hil-ir,.,,11u--ici(. Allen co. C. M. Gifford, Marshall co. W. A.

The organization as now arranged an efficient jpne. and the donations will reach th(v "sufferers promptly. We therefore ask the citizens of the various counties on the railroads in Illinois Iowa and Wisconsin to send their contributions in grain as above specified The citizens of Indiana, and all States East, are requested to send their con tributions in money, boots, shoes, woolen materials for clothing, heavy cotton cloth for meal sacks, and sacks for grain and meal, as it would cost too much to transport grain or produce from the States East of Illinois. Thaddeus Hyatt, of New York city, will inform the friends of humanity in the Eastern States how to forward money.

Remittances in money may bo forwarded from an}" of the Western States to Dr. John Evans, office 55 Clark st., Chicago, Illinois, who will pay it to the general agency, to boused for the purchase of sacks of provisions, and payment of freights, and take their receipt for the same. By this system every person who receives money orproducc wil'I pay itto the General Agent, Thaddeus Hyatt, New York City S. C. Pomeroy, Atchison, Kansas or the undersigned at Chicago, and they will receive and rcccipt for it.

The money or produco will be distributed to t'he county committees, who will give a rcccipt to the General Agents and in turn they will divide it to the townships and take the receipts of the township comm ittces, wI10wi11 also take receipts from the individuals to whom it is given, and finally the township committees will settle with the county committees, the latter with the general agents, and they again with a committee to be appointed in the States.

As the citizens of Kansas who will be relieved say "that they do not want aid as a gratuity, but will pay it back when able,," itps proposed that tho receipts after final settlement, shall be handed to the County Board of Commissioners of the respective counties in Kansas,.and that the people be allowed voluntarily to pay when ablo to the County Treasurer the amounts and that tho amounts thus paid be constituted a COMMON SCHOOL FUND, the interest to be annually distributed to the school districts of the respective counties. Thus tho donors will relievo the

tics in Kansas, are requested to report themselves to the undersigned at Chicago, and to forward through the general agent at Atchison all donations they may receive, so that there may be an equal distribution in accordance with tho wants of the people in each county and township and also, if possible, to prevent unauthorized agents from soliciting aid which may bo misappropriated, and at the same time to receive the benefit to be derived from a reduction of freights on railroad transportation agreed upon by the General .Agency with the railroad companies.

Tho undersigned most respectfully solieits the co-operation of the humane and liberal in the States, and would ask that relief be furnished as speedil}' as possible, as there are hundreds who are at this hour without anything to cat but corn meal and water, and but a small quantity of that.

We do not think it necessary to make a labored or lengthy appeal to the citizens of the State for contributions in aid of our friends in Kansas. Many of you know from experience the terrible significance of a failure of crops, and hence will spare something from your present abundance. Others have known continued prosperity: hence they aro able to add something to the common fund. Those who have not grain, can contribute money to buy bags and defray necessary freight expenditures. Spring wheat, rye, corn, dour and beans are needed. Those who send grain fit for seed are requested to mark the bags, For Seed." Warehouse room, free of charge, has been tendered to tho General Agency by citizens of Topeka. Lawrence. Leavenworth, Wyandotte, Quindaro, and Atchison, so as to store tho grain to be used as seed.

Arrangements have been made with mills in Kansas to grind at half the usual pricc, so that tho grain can be turned into meal to feed the hungry alter it reaches Kansas, and thus avoid the risk of its becoming musty (if ground) by transportation in close

Transhipment of freight being necessary at both the Mississppi and Missouri rivers, everything must be sent forward hi bags. The committees and agents in the States who receive grain donations and have not means to furnish bags are requested to communicate the fact to the undersigned at Chicago, so that bags may be furnished.

WASBHRGTON STEMS. WASHINGTON, November 12.—As far as can be ascertained there is no disposition cither on the part of the Administration or of gentlemen of political pi'nniinonoe hero to interfere in the present Southovn movement, except in a friendly spirit, ft is now probable Lhatthe President will issue an address, or proclamation, as lie election of delegates to the Souih Carliua Convention is to take place at an earlier day than was recently anticipated, and as in consequence there would not bo sufficient time for the general circulation of an appeal through the annual message, as was originaly anticipated. Such is the alarm that Washington will not be continued the seat of Govcrment, that the value of real estate has been sensibly effected by the secession movement.

A portion of the money seized bv Gen. Degollado a short time ago, from the conducta toTampieo. is on the way to New "York, for the purchase of arms and ammunition, through the same party who for the last two years has been sending similar supplies to the Liberal army.

Itis understood thatTomCorwin can. if he will, occupy a prominent position in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, and in case of his declining to do so. an invitation will be extended to Mr. Ewing. or Vinton. of the same State.

Mr. Graham, of Badger, of North Carolina, is also as confidently mentioned in this connection.

The President to-day informed Thaddeus Hyatt that the land sales in Kansas could not be postponed, but that such was the construction of the law that actual settlers would bo allowed to refile their pre-emption claims, and should not be disturbed in their possessions. The President said some of the settlers acted very badly, but they were nevertheless human beings, and should be relieved and protectee!. lie gave credence to Hyatt's representation as to their sufferings—he would appeal to Congress in their behalf. As an earnest of his sympathies, the President headed the subscription list with a check for one hundred dollars,

DELAWARE.

Lincoln runs second in Delaware.— The Wilmington Journal and Statesman foots up the returns as follows: Breckinridge 0147 Lincoln 3751 Douglas 3272. and Bell 992. Besides this cheering result, George P. Fisher, a Republican in sentiment, an opponent of slavery extension, and an advocate of the Homestead and Protection, is elected to Congress. Altogether the Republicans havo done better in Delaware, slave State though she be, than any other party, for Breckinridge majority docs him no good, while ours gives us a good vote in Congress where it is badly needed.—hid.

ILT.IXOIS.

We havo heretofore announced that tho Legislature of Illinois was safe. As all interest was concentrated on that point till it was fully determined,_no one has thought much of the majority given for Lincoln. Now curiosity is beginning to spring up again in relation to that question, and to satisiy it we copy the following from the last Chicago Tribune:—hid. Jour.

The IXth Congressional District has given about 13,000 majority for Douglas. It will hardly execcd that figure. Tho YIirth District has given about 3,500. ThoVIIth District about 2,500 the VIth District 5,000 and the Yth about" 1,800. Total 25,800. The four Northern Districts have given over 42,000 majority for Lincoln. These figures give the State to Lincoln by Ifi,200. We are willing to throw in 1,200 for contingencies.

How the Ueivs of tlie Victory was Received at Springfield, 111. ,. A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat has described how tho news of tho election was received at Springfield, 111., on Tuesday evening. Mr. Lincoln's room at the Capitol was from an early hour crowded with interested waiters

for the news.

At last the inconvenigreat uld re

ence from the crowd became so trrcat that some suggested that he shot

quest them to withdraw. Mr. Lincoln said he never had done such a thing in his life, and that he was not going to commence then. He appeared calm and collected as ever but there was a nervous twitching in his eountenanco 36 when the telegraph messenger entered 11 which indicated an anxiety that no effort co aid repress. About 9 o'clock,

Mr. Lincoln and a few friends went by invitation of the superintendent of tho telegraph office. Tho first returns^ were from some of the counties in Illinois. fndiana and "Wisconsin. At ten o'clock some impatience was expressed for news ftom uNew orlc. From dis-^ tant localities in Missouri, and from St. Louis, news came, all of which gavu satisfaction. Then came the astoundei from Wheeling, and the surprise from Baltimore and Wilmington. As each dispatch came, it was-, read and sent to the State House, where it was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Next: Philadelphia was heard from, and theunexpected news of tho immense majority in Pennsylvania. At in id night the ungratilied impatience to hear from I\ew York was suspendvd by an adjournment to a hall on the other side of the street, where the Ilepubli-v can ladies of Springfield had prepared, a collation. While this entertainment, was in Drogress, a dispateh arrived M. the telegraph office from Simeon Draper, announcing that the city ot •ew

York complete gave the iuftioiiibts only 27.000. It was carricd to Mr. Lincoln^-' and a duplicate sent to tho Slate ilousc. It is utteriy impossible to describe tho scone which ensued. A* Mr. Lin.jjolnig read it, ladies and gentlemen closed in and overwhelmed him with congratulations.

At the State House the scene v.* a a five times as bad. .Men pushed eaelv other—threw up their hats—hurrahed: |—cheered for Lincoln—cheered t'-" I Trumbull—cheered tor Is'ew ork cheered lor evervbody—and some act-^: uallv laid down on the carpeted fioor and roiled over and over. It was some

Lime before order could bo restored to read the dispatch from Draper a second time. -'New York 50,000 majority for Lincoln!'' And then another scene. The applause was tremendous. The Illinois State House never before heard such a noise, and probably never will again. It is beyond description.- and as this was the culminating point of doubt, groups commenced to leave—: not to go to bed—but to let the town know the result. And Springfield:: went Oil like one immense cannon report, with shouting from houses, shouting from stores, shouting from house tops, and shouting everywhere. Parties^ ran through tho streets singing, '-Ain't®

I glad I've joined tho Republicans, till they were too hoarse to speak. This news was a comp'eto squelcher, for the Douglasites. They closed their headquarters and sneaked away—someto their homes, and others to bar rooms,, where the night was spent in carousing. Mr. Lincoln and his friends returned to the telegraph office, and in ft few moments examined further New York returns—which confirmed the private dispatch, and. made, everything sure by a large majority.

All night there was howling for Lincoln—checrs for

Oid Abe" kept up,,

and towards morning some of the boys procurcu a cannon and fired several rounds.
