A Fsettt We want a good, ftout 007, of 13 to 17 yean of age, to leans tbe printing bosiness, immeai ately. A toy we mean, not a calf; and we want him toame, not to talk sboat it. It will be no diaadrantage to him, to know bow to read and write. Tkelew. Everything progresses gloriously.

Lee's army bos incceeded in crowing the Potomac, bat their retreat has been a rout It is reported that over 15.000 of them have been captured in attempting to cross, and Gen. Pettierew, of South Carolina, has been killed. Fort Hudson surrendered, uncondition ally the 8th, with about 12,000 prison era and a laree amount of artillerr. The Mississippi River now open, and the Confederacy cut in two. The next National triumph will pro bahly be the capture of Charleston.

Morris' Island has been taken, and heavy batteries of long-range guns are being erected, which will bring down the city and Fort Sumter. After the surrender of Vicksburg, Gen. Sherman, with a large army, crossed the Big Black Hirer, fonght a bloody battle with Johnston, defeated him, and captured a large number of prisoners. He is now in hot pursuit. Bragg is retreating into Georgia, and it is supposed that Chattanooga will be abandoned.

Fort Powhatan, on James River, has been taken and destroyed by Federal gun-boats. John Morgan, with ahont 4,000 caval ry, crossed the Ohio River, some days ago, near Corydon, Indiana, and passed through that State into Ohio, north of Cincinnati, and thence to tbe Ohio river, opposite Mayaville, whew there are gunboats to prevent his crossing, while large forces are after him on land. He may see fun before ha gets back home. He destroyed no private property, but took horses and burned railroad bridges. It ia rumored that Gen.

Frank Blair has taken Jackson, Mississippi. Gens. Doilge and Cornyn are playing havoc with the rebels in Northern Mississippi. The number of prisoners taken at Vicksburg, was 31,277. Within two weeks the rebels have lost over 100,000 men.

Some weeks since, two prominent lawyers of Leavenworth entered into a bond, duly executed and recorded, not to drink any spirituous liquors in Kansas, for the period of one year, except with certain dignitaries specified in the agreement. The other day, a number of Leavenworth men took the following oath.

Judge 'Sanders W. Johnston, one of the parties, was the Democratic candidate for Delegate to Congress, in 1859, against Mr. Parrott I do solemnly swear that I will not sing any song except John the Star Spangled Battle Cry of and Red, White and on Sunday, or any other day, in church or out of church, nntil this rebellion is pnt down, so help me God 1" Administered by Mayor Anthony, to tbe following persons: Judge S. W. Johnston, John C.

Douglass, J. Chivere, E. H. Gruber, Col. Lewis Burns, George Lane, A.

Simmons, N. Spear. It is a little singular, that as soon as the Kickspoo Treaty was ratified, a copy was sent.with unascut haste, to the Leavenworth Conservative, for publication, while not another official paper received a copy. It is easy to guess how this happened. Some zealous course not Senator Porae-roy 1 too anxious to await the usual course of such matters, hastened to the Department, importuned an official copy of the Treaty from it, and sent it out to Kansas for publication, thinking that would be a final clincher of the affair that after ratification and publication, it was beyond alteration or investigation.

Perhaps they have by this time discovered their mistake. We have received the first num ber of the Holt County Sentinel, published by Dan. Zook ie at Forest Mo. The paper proposes, in tbe Salutatory, to oppose Jaybawking, Bushwhacking, Monocracy, and Secession, and to sustain the Emancipation policy of the Administration. If it stands np to thin platform, we wish the Sentinel success.

Bloody Riot la Hew York.

A terrible riot broke out in New Tork, on Monday, and was still in progress on Wednesdsy evening. It was commenc ed by tbe Irish and Germans, in consequence of the Conscription, which began oa thst'day. Tbe books and papers were destroyed, and the block ia which the headquarters were located was burned The mob was speedily joined by, all tbe scum and ruffianism ia tbe city, men. women and children, and they started out for indiscriminate plunder. Policemen and militia, omcers snd privates, were stoned and beaten to death, a large number of negroes murdered, Mayor Op-dyke's house sacked, factories, depots and dwellings burned, ships plundered, and all manner of villainy perpetrated.

The Tribune and Times offices were strongly barricaded and guarded, to prevent their destruction. The telegraph wires were broken down, railroad tracks and business and travel suspended. Gov. Seymour went down and endeavored to quell the riot, promising to have the draft postponed, but he could accomplish nothing. On Wednesday evening, tbe police bad -begun to recover efficiency, city organizations were becoming effective, and troops were coming in.

The Secretary of War has ordered three New York regiments home, to put down the mob. The militia and police have had numerous fights with the rioters, in all of which the latter have been defeated, and many of them killed. Howitzers, loaded with canister, have been freely used, destroying large numbers of the ruffians. The telegraph is again in operation to the city, and the mob will probably soon be suppressed. The riot extended to Staten Island, Brooklyn, and other environs of tbe city.

This is but the result of the teachings of Northern traitors and Copperheads, like Wood and Seymour. They hsve at length raised a storm which they cannot control. They have incited the dregs and offscourings of society to violence and bloodshed, by their lies snd misrepresentations sgsinst the Government, at a time when the country was in the greatest danger. Had not our glorious armies driven back and defeated the rebels at every point, in spite of these home traitors and insurrectionists, the condition of the North would to-day have been deplorable. The mob was not confined to Germans and Irish.

Every ruffian and degraded being in the city, of every nation, was engaged in it, and turned it into a business of plunder on his own ac count. They should suffer severely for it, but not they alone. The persons who incited and maddened them to the deeds of violence, should receive a full portion of the punishment. Now, in the heat of the disturbance, and while our arms are victorious everywhere, the Government should make its strength felt at home, and in such a manner as will prevent a repetition of outrages hereafter. Items from Exchanges.

We learn, from the Leavenworth Conservative, that it is the leading paper in Kansas. We see, by the Savannah (Mo.) Plaindealer, thit Wbitaker keeps foolscap and envelopes for sale. According to the assertion of the Leavenworth Bulletin, for some months past, cottonwood has fallen. We heard, long ago, of Cottonwood Falls. From the Topeka Tribune, we gather that the name of the Mayor of that town is Cnmmings.

We are sorry to learn, from the Leavenworth Times, that tbe liberty of the press is in danger. The editor of the Lawrence Journal recently drew green-backs for State scrip, which proves that Treasurer Spriggs is the right man in the right place. A late number of tbe Council Grove Press contained something about Jim Lane. From tbe St. Joseph Herald, we learn that a man named Wilkinson delivered the Fourth of July oration at Platte River Bridge.

From sundry vague hints thrown out by the St. Joseph News, we are inclined to think that the editor was born in Kentucky. The editor of the Topeka Record has recently visited nine State Senators, eight of whom are making over 8600 a year, and the other ought to be Judge. Capt. Jack Merrick, formerly of this County, is reported to have been recently shot and killed, by a provost guard, at Fort Scott.

We bsve, not learned tbe cause, but it is said that Merrick fired upon the guard first Jack was reported killed, on the road to Pike's Peak, some four or five years sgo, but it proved a boax. We trust this recent report will' torn out the.same way. The Editor, of the -Joseph News is eternally criticising some one. Here are five lines of selected rhyme, which we copy they appear mine vYefesrtneproor-readeris abroad: And let ont wrtchwonL then -The Pathfinder be, Speech Froe SOU Free Press Free Men 1 -Fremont and Victory."

something handsome for staying there. The Copperheads from all over the North will flock over to eee hiss, and the fortune of the hone ia made. Progress. Gen. Jim Craig recently made a speech at Brookfield Station, on the Hannibal and St.

Joseph Railroad, in which he came out for radical emancipation for wiping out Slavery immediately, as being the cause of therebsll-ion and warned everybody to get upon the same platform, if tbey.didn't want to be ssaashed. If Craig will only drive dowB'his stake right there, so firmly that he can never pull it np again, it will be the best thing he ever did. We are pleased with this action of the General, for one reason. It indicates the popular sentiment 'of' Craig is sharp, and wherever you find himr there yon may bet the big crowd is for his presence in a party is as sure a sign of its being the biggest, as the presence, of red-noses ahont a door indicates that whiskey is to be had within, at fire cents a drink. Tf Affairs in Andrew County, Missoo-ri.

They are enjoying squally times over there. Several weeks ago, Joe Hart, the bushwhacker, and his gang, made their appearance near Savannah, and murdered two or three Union men. Tbe Union citizens then threatened retaliation, and commenced shooting all reoeis ana sympstnizers wno naa nar- bored or encouraged bushwhackers. We are informed that some fifteen or twenty have been killed, and several Union men also. Hart was killed, a few days ago, near Chillicothe, by a detachment of Militia.

XT Riots in opposition to the draft, occurred yesterday at Troy, New York, and Boston, the latter was soon dried up. At Trovy the mob destroyed the Times Office. If it mnst come to this, now is ss good a time jw any, Tbe rebels are defeated everywhere, and the Government cen afford to teach Northern traitors a severe but salutary lesson. tW Let it be borne in mind, that under the new postal law, all transient newspapers mailed at any post-office, mnst be pre-paid with two one-cent stamps, instead of one, as heretofore. Many papers deposited in the office, still have bot one 6tamp affixed.

All such are retained in tbe post-office. There is' nothing like danger, to nnite a people in sentiment. Tbe late Northern campaign of Lee, made the Pennsylvanians all Quakers. J3T The principal food of the rebels in Port Hudson, is aaij to be corn-meal. They must be a mealy-mouthed set.

Wallace, of Lexing'on, arrived in town yesterday, snd left this forenoon for home. Mr. W. informs us that he is now preparing to do a general confiscation business, and bas been down the country on a tour of inspection with that view. He has taken initiory steps to confiscate all of Major-General Sterling Price's property, personal and real, and will commence operations soon.

"Old Pap" is truly an unfortunate man. He generally gets whipped, and now his property is to go to the Government, whose agents and employees give him bis severe castigations, and is now in a fair way to become a perfectly used up man generally. Mr. Wallace informs us that the property of the late Claiborne F. Jackson, is not subject to confiscation.

His fortunate demise will secure to his afflicted family all of his personal and real estate, and as be married three times successively into "a rich bot respectable family," his estate amounts to something considerable. We inquired of Mr 'Wallace in rela tion to the disposition of the effects of "Old Bustimento," John B. Clark, of Howard County, and were duly informed that it would take every cent, and more too, that said "Bnstimento's" property would bring in market, to pay his just and honorable debts nothing would be left for either his family, or the Government, whose interests he once represented in part, in the balls of the National Congress. How IVear TDIaaster we Were at Gettysbnrgr. The following, from Agate's" Gettysburg correspondence with tho Gazette, may account for tbe apparent slow movements of the Army of tbe Potomac since its victory how near disaster wa CAKE.

Yet, we were near defeat. One ammunition grew scant tbe reserve ammunition train was brought up and drained; but for that we should have been left to cold steel. Brigade after brigade had been thrown forward to strengthen the line as the rebel attack drifted back over the fields there stood in the rear jnst one single brigade that constituted tbe entire reserve of the -Army-of the Potomac Forty thousand fresh troops to -have hurled for ward upon that- retreating mass would have ended the campaign with the.battle; but for forty. thousand we bad. that one wasted brigade 1 In rebels soon form ed again, and ready for defense tbe opportunity lost i Sekenade to General Grant's Fath aa.

Copperhead Logic. According to copperhead logic, the capture of Vicks burg is an immense calamity. The copperheads set ont with the proposition that the conquest of their old masters in the South, "the Southern brethren," is impossible. Therefore, tbe more the Sontbern brethren are whipped, and the more they seem to be conquered, the more they will be invincible. And as the Sontbern brethren must come out of the war triumphant, the more we whip them the worse we are whipped.

It is desirable therefore, that the Southern brethren would whip us at once, in order to a stop to this war." When we gain a victory over the of the sunny South, it encourages us to keep up the war, and, therefore, the greater the victory the greater tbe loss. We thank President Lincoln for bav ing twice recognized, in the course of his few casual remarks to those who serenaded him on Tuesday evening, that the struggle which devastates this country is essentially a contest between those who cling to" the Ji-ffersonian premises of the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal," and those who uphold tbe counter declaration of Vice' President A. that the Confederacy is based on the vitally hostile assumption that men are by nature un equal, and that government shonld eschew what be calls tbe radical error" of the American Revolution Let none doubt that tbe President will hold fast to this truth.

General Meade appears to have com mitted a mistake in bis conduct of the great battle of Gettysburg. He fonght bis army well on Wednesday, inured jy, and Friday, and it is the more surpri sing therefore, that he should have spoil ed everything by-a blunder at tbe end, for which, we fear, he will not soon be forgiven by a part of bis fellow-citizens. We would not be so ungracious aa to direct public.

attention to this misconduct of tbe new commander of the Potomac army, were it not that he appears to have lo4t one of those golden opportsnities which may not recur soon of carrying into practice the theories of our most peace-loving Democratic frieada. It will be remembered that on Friday evening, when our gallant army bad thoronghly beaten tbe rebels. General Lee sent a flag of truce to ask for a-suspension jif hostilities for two days to bury bis dead, drc General Meade refused to grant him 'even an hoar. Was this right? Was this politic? Was this generous towards a suffering' Southern brother Was not this tbe great, tbe long looked for opportunity to offer the celebrated olive branch to General Lee He had just been soundly flogged by our brave boys why did not Ueneral Meade at once give him a week's truce, on condition that during this week the rebel General would consider the subiect of peace, and woold make up bis mind on what terms he wonld re tarn to tbe Union? Why did not General Meade send for Fernando Wood or one of the Seymours to enter upon the attempt to conciliate the defeated rebel chief? Or, why did he not dispatch a few runaway slaves by the flag of truce, as a token of good will, and to show the slaveholders that even in the moment of victory be did not forget his constitutional duties? Who knows what great results might have been effected by such a wise and conservative" course? Instead of that, Meade absolutely refused to let hostilities cease he returned to Lee a disagreeable message, to the effect that the Union army meant to recapture all the prisoners Lee had taken and he instantly made ready to pursue with horse, foot ami artillery. The wearied rebel General wan thns obliged, like poor Joe' in the Bleak Honse.

A nnmber of lending Repnblicinu say programme has been arranged to be submitted to the President to-morrow, nnder which they are willing that peace shall be restored. It embrace- the following points, said to have been suggested by Mr. Chase First. That slavery shall cesse in the whole United St ites after 1876. the minors at that time to remain slaves nntil they are twenty-one yesrs of age.

and slaves over fortv years old to have ihe option of their freedom or to remain with their masters. Provision is made for loyal slave owners.

The Notorious Georgb Tod Killed.

Captsin Blake, Co. I. th Kanoaa Cavalry, stationed at Harrisonville, one day last week sent twenty-five mn with twenty wagons to this city for provisions. On their return, Gen. Ewing.

considering the gnanl not strong enongh, ordered Co. 1st M. S. M. to accompany them.

The party proceeded without interruption till within a mile and a half or two miles of the Little Bine, when the officer in command learned that a band of fifty bushwhackers were lying in ambush to attack the train. The cavalry made the necessary preparations and went ahead. When they came to the biding place of the guerrillas, the cavalry cnargea upon tbem, killing the Uaptain. who proved to be tbe notorious George Tod, snd thirteen of his men. The remainder escaped.
