"Th Hfew. have had none bat' good news, this week. We hart at length official and reliable account! from Charleston. Fort Sumter was not knocked to piecei, wai reported, hot still remained in fighting trim. On the 7tb, Gilmore's ssoDers had reached the very moat of Fort Wagner, and an assault was ordered" to take place the next morning hnt daring the night, the rebels evacuated Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg, esca ping in small boats and the whole -of Morris Island is now in Union hands, The Monitors are now pouring a terrible fire npom Forts Sumter and Moultrie, which show signs of failing, and mast soon go under.

The way is already clear to Charleston, which can be reached at any time. Gen. Bosecrans has occupied Chatta nooera. withont firing a can. Thus another rebel stronghold hss fallen, and railroad communication between Virginia and the South-West severed.

Gen. Burnside has defeated the rebels at Kingston, Tennessee, and entered KnoxTille in triumph, where he was re ceived with the most enthusiastic demon' atrations. Cumberland Gap has also sur rendered without firing a gun, and East Tennessee is liberated. The wholo State is now clear of rebels in any considerable force. The rebels in Arkansas have been driven South of the Arkansas River, and are evacuating Little Rock.

Gen. Blnnt has also driven the rebels South of the Arkansas River, in the Indian country. it win no seen tnat tne Anaconda is conntracting.his coils, and the rebellion is daily beiag poshed into closer quarters, and generally without ever a show of fight. a EST Friday is the day set for the Commissioner of Indian Affairs lo investigate the alleged frauds of the Kickapoo Treaty. The investigation will be held at Muscotab, and quite a number are expected to be in attendance.

This is all a farce. Some sort of a show of investigation will be gone through; a few of the big fish will afterwards get together at Atchison they will hob-nob together, and make it all right tlio report will represent everything as all right and proper the Kickapoo fraud will be safe and irrevocable and the Atchison peo pie and the Atchison paper will swear the Commissioner of Indian Affairs is a mighty clever man I tW The Paola mass meeting was the largest ever held in the State, outside of Leavenworth. Lieutenant Governor Os-horn presided, with a number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. All but one of the Vice Presidents were State Senators. A rousing Radical Platform was adopted, and a large committee appointed to visit Washington, to demand a new policy in this Department, the removal of the present commanders and the re-establishment of the Department of Kansas demanded.

The committee embraces the Congressional delegation, most of the State officers, and other prominent gentlemen. The St. Louis Union, a professed Republican and Emancipation paper, is a fine specimen of the Gamble-Schofield style. It bids fair to supersede the Missouri Republican in the affections of rebels and Copperheads. One of its most brazen-faced assertions is, that the people of Kansas, to avenge the Lawrence massacre, have entered Missouri, and are murdering people indiscriminately guilty and innocent rebel and loyal men, women and children.

It knew it was publishing a lie, manufactured oat of whole cloth, waen it made the above assertion. S39" We learn that Major Plumb, of Ewing's Staff, has decapitated D. A. Hook, detective, for his conduct in this County. We always "went" considerably on Plumb, and if this is true, shall continue to beliove in him not merely because Hook endeavored to practice "detective" upon as, but because his con duct was not becoming the responsible position which he held The editor of the Oskaloosa In' dependent is a member of that holy calling, whose duty it is to weep with those who mourn, to comfort the afflicted, and to console the sorrowing.

I The Skape I la Taking. An affair like that at Lawrenee, should not be turned to political account, nor be used to the benefit or disadvantage of individuals, any farther than to hold to a jost responsibility those through whose negligence or incompetence the outrage was permitted. When Gen. Lane, after following in the wake of Qaantrell, and accomplishing nothing, returned home, heralded by fabricated accounts of his deeds of prowess, and proceeded straight way to Leavenworth to make a speech, there seemed to be nothing wrong in it, and the speech was regarded as a good thing. But that did not answer the pur pose desired, and he must needs destroy the good effect of his first effort by a second one, aimed more directly at the grand object in view.

Every one knows Lane to be ambitious and unscrupulous but wc doubt whether his worst enemy entertained so mean an opinion of him as to suppose that he would attempt to ele vate nimseii ana ureas: down bis oppo nents, over the mangled and charred corpses of his neighbors and friends. Yet be has even done this. Gov. Carney, by his efforts to promote the interests of Kansas, had been grow ing immensely popular, and was looming up prominently as a candidate for the United States Senatorship. He must be killed off by a bold stroke of political bushwhacking, and bis slaughtered reputation buried with the Lawrence martyrs.

Lane had cheek and stomach for the task, and had willinir tools who would not hesitate to go the deepest depth with him The ball was opened by the Consent tive, which, in a lengthy article, charged Thomas Carney, the loyal Governor of the loyal State of Kansas, with being a Copperhead and a traitor I Ho was ac cused of laboring with Gamble and Scho-field to leave Kansas defenceless, thus rendering the citizens easy victims to Missouri rebels. Although nominated through Lane's influence, ho was charged with never having been a Republican, but always having been considered doubtful. Right on the heels of this article, Lane made his second speech. He was 6evere upon the Gamble dynasty, but more so upon those who wanted Jim Lane's place in the That was the burden of his song. They wanted to erect another Senator next Winter, and beat him while if they should pel it off till the following year, which is the proper time, he could make that the issue in the election, and use the immense patronage which he controls, to secure a Legislature favorable to himself.

Then a sot of resolutions were adopted, denouncing the Gamble policy, calling for revenge upon the Missouri guerrillas, and opposing the election of a Senator next Winter 1 The whole affair was as transparent as air. How very similar is this to events of two years ago. Charles Robinson, as Governor of Kansas, possessed a considerable degree of influence, which prevented Lane from having full sway in the State. This would never do. Robinson must be got out of the way, and a man put in his place who would play to Lane's hand.

The latter never stops at anything to accomplish his ends. He comes from his Missouri campaign, makes a terrific speech at Leavenworth, denounces Stnrges and Prince as being in league with the rebels to betray Kansas into their hands, and charges Gov. Rob inson with being in the conspiracy. The Conservative echoes the howl, loud and long, and calls for the election of a new Governor, claiming that Robinson's time expired that year. Of course, this had all been fixed np before hand.

Sure enough, another man was voted for, for Governor but this scheme fell to the ground, and the next move was for an impeachment. This also failed; but the Governor's efficiency was greatly impaired, and the State was insulted and disgraced. Gov. Carney now stands in Lane's way, and must be put down. Why not elect another Governor, this Fall? If not that, then an impeachment may be looked for.

Seriously, are the people of Kansas so blind that they have not yet discovered Lane's true character? Shall the Governor, whose loyalty has never been doubted, be stigmatized as a traitor? 8hall a man who has labored for the in terests of Kansas as Gov. Carney has, be slandered and disgraced, and his influ ence and usefulness be destroyed, merely because he stands in the way of Gen. Lane's ambition? We say, let the commander through whose negligence and selfishness hundreds of the best men of Kansas have been slaughtered, and him who attempts to make a Etepping- stone to greater power of their mnrdered bodies, be consigned to oblivion together 1 Support Home Makutactuee.

A dinner was recently given at Atchison, at which the lion and the lamb (Stringfellow and Pomeroy) lay down together. At that dinner, two magnificent railroads were built one to Pike's Peak, and the other to Sante Fe. The cars are already running, and not a single accident has yet occurred. Stringfellow declared that' Pomeroy alone bad built these roads, while Pomeroy contended that Col. Irvine had done it.

A letter was read from Col. Martin, in which he reverted to the fact, that when he first went to Atchison, she bad not a single railroad bnt he soon expects to make all hislnilitary expeditions, reconnoissances and through the South, over railroads having their starting point at Atchison. Trains come in daily, loaded with gold from Pike's Peak; and the last train from Sante Fe bad twenty-five extra passenger cars, to accommodate the Sante Fe mer chants who were on their way to Atch ison to purchase stocka of gas and beam At that dinner they had wine and things, and we believe tho crowd actually dispersed with the impression that Atchison had railroads running to all parts of the world, every one of which was built by Senator Pomeroy I Statistics or Brows Couxtt. -We are indebted to E.

That company was recruited at White Cloud, and had been reading the 'Chief, which accounts for their good manners. Macloon, Chief Delective at St Joseph, has been ordered to report at headqarters, at St.

At the commence ment of the rebellion, the inhabitants of the Missouri Bottom, extending for some miles below Forest City, were almost unanimously rebels. In August, 1861, a Campbellite preacher, living in Burr Oak Bottom, Doniphan County, was announ ced to preach in the section of country aforesaid. The rebels immediately called a meeting, at which a committee was ap pointed, to ascertain whether the preacher was a Secessionist or a Union man and if the latter, to notify him not to attempt to preach. The committee performed the duty assigned to it the reply of the preacher we never heard, but it is certain that he preached at' the- appointed time, and gave genera? satisfaction to the rebel audience. Is it, hard to guess what side he.

was on? That preacher was named J. R. Watson. Can. any of our readera tell what has become of him Reward or Crime.

Schofield issued an order allowing "peaceable citizens" of Missouri to carry arms for their "defense." Now he has just issued an order allowing released and paroled rebels to come into that 'State and settle down as peaceable citizens. That brings them under his former order in regard to bearing arms, of which they are generally availing themselves. Schofield gives them arms and Quantrile leads them into Kansas, right through the camp of a wooden Brigadier, whose idiocy answers an excellent purpose in carrying out Schofield's sconndrelism. That's the way it works, and that's the way Lawrence was sacked. We imagine there are a few "peaceable citizens" in Kansas who will now procure arms and see what can be done towards cleaning out the border.

Eorros: In my peregrinations through this State, I hare brought up here. This village of Fort Scott is really a prosperous and thriving place. Its citizens claim to hare 2,000 inhabitants; trat I think their numbers are less than 1,500, unless the soldiers temporarily stationed here be counted in to swell the numbers in the latter case, the population will vary from 1250 to several thousand. The town is located on both sides of the Marmaton, a stream about the size of "Wolf River, in jour County, and with banks equally precipitous; but by much the larger part of the town on the south side of the stream. It lies on" a flat, with the hills surrounding it, at a distance of two or three mile? the Marmaton running through the basin from west to cast, with its banks fringed with timber.

In the centre of the town is" a triangle well covered with houses, and the opposite sides of the streets, surrounding the triangle, are very well built.up. The houses are mostly small, and ol wood; though the Wilder House is a three story brick, of fair size. The place is improving, with some good buildings going up for stores and residences. Last wesk there was frost here, and along the border north" sufficient to kill some tender plants, but only in rare cases to damage the corn. The prairies in this section of the State are beginning to grow weeds rather than grass-Along the boasted valley of the Neosho, the I most of the prairie lands have become weed pastures; and you can see nothing for miles, in many places, but a yellow weed, such as is seen here and there on your prairies.

In my opin ion, the Neosho Valley is not so good a coun try as the valley of the Marais des Cygnes, ci ther for corn or stock pasture. In a few years the majority of the prairie land in Southern Kansas, if not nearly all, will be devoid of grass and covered with weeds. The farmers here have got lo sow grars seed for tame pas ture; and my impression, from all I see and hear, U. that this section of the State is better adapted to tame grasses than Northern Kansas The season here is two weeks earlier and two longer than with you, and they feed a month and a half less in Winter; but their stock real ly needs feed a3 badly as yours. I do not think their stock locks so well here as the stock in your section of the State owing, probably, to your prairie grass being better I have heard, from several citizens in John son, Miami, and other Counties, what seems to be the truth of the raid Quantrcll.

Quan-trell's band was first discovered by a soldier belong-'ng to the 9th Regiment K. who was a member of the company stationed at Aubrey, Miami County. The soldier has a weakness for whiskey, and in going from camp to the house of a man living about three miles north of Aubrey, where he was accustomed to get liquor, he fell in with Quantrell. The guerrl las questioned him closely as to who he vas atid whither bound. He replied that he was a citizen liring'near by, and that ha had a sick child, for whom he was going to hi neighbor the liquor nun close at hand, to obtain some medicine.

Three of the guerrillas accompanied him to the man's houe, but he gave him the wink, and aked for medicine for his eick child; and thr. man, taking the hint, supplied him with quinine and camphor. The guerri'las then allowed him return to his camp, and he notified the officer in command of what be had seen. This was about one hour before sunset. The officer in command, though having fully F0 effective men, was too cowardly to pursue, so sent a messenger to Kansas City for instructions.

His company is well armed wim caromes, irmie ynnntrell's horde was poorly armed, except with revolvers. By at tacking Quantrell's rear and skirmishing with him, he might have so delayed him that the whole country could have been aroused, and the cut throat band either destroyed or driven from the State. After entering the State, Quantrell travelled rapidly, and did not rob any person until more than fifteen miles from the border then horses alone were taken, and by a squad of only three or four men, claiming to be soldiers going on an express, or en route for some.rccruiling station vihich they were compelled to reach the next morning, and they only wanted to ex change horses. Thus they passed along, waking no suspicion until after they had robbed a few men in and about Gardner. Even then the citizens of Gardner thought the band only a small one, and so sent a messenger to Olathe, to warn the people there of the danger, not supposing they had gone to Lawrence.

From Gardner to Lawrence they passed swiftly on, on the most direct road. It is thought that Quantrell had guards stationed the day before at the crossing of the Wakarusa, to prevent any person from running through to warn Lawrence. Maj. Plumb has been censured for too great prudence in managing the pursuit of Quantrell's band. It is said that he could have attacked him.

but declined to do so. In Paola, I was informed that Liet. Col. Clark, of the 9th Kansas Volunteers, was called up about midnight, Saturday night, and informed that Quantrell was encamped only a few miles north-east of town; and although having. with Gen.

Lane and his citizen band, about 500 men under him, that he refused to make the attack that night; and the next morning, when he reached Qoactrell's camp, the bandit had flown some three hours previous. The citizens of Gardner charge that a com pany of cavalry, with a howitzer, came to their place Friday A. when Quantrell was burning houses near Brooklyn, and that although they showed the officer in command the bum-in; buildings, he refused to move to cut off QuantreTs retreat, bat said he should obey orders, and so went straight toward Lawrence then, alas! a mass of rains. Another caval ry officer, shown the burning town of Brooklyn fey the citizens of Gardner, and a guide offered to lead him, so that be could head on" Quan trell, only replied by damning the town of Gardner, and wishing Quantrell had burned it also; and off went the officer to eiey orders, by following the traii of Quantrell. These officers excused themselves for not doing something, by saying that if they attempted to head Quan trell, and should have their command cut op, they would be cashiered for disobeying orders; but if they obeyed orders, no one could blame them, if they did no good.

What wonder that with such a lukewarm pursuit, those fiends escaped! Well may we blush to confess that the was led by Kansas men. We do hope this whole matter will be and if these reports which I have given be tree, the officers I have spoken of should be dismissed the service" Gea.

There are at present not less than thirty thousand troops in garrison in this city. They are here ostensibly to prevent the resumption of riots during the draft which is taking place; but we are inclined to snppose that other views are entr-tained as regards the services to lie rendered by tho veterans now collected here, in snch great numbers. The Administration will soon have all the men it desires, as, besides the draft, the volunteering system is still kept up, and numbers join the army thus. It is more than likely now that ere the 1st of January next, 'the rebellion will have been crushed ont. and it is possible that our Government may contemplate the sending of the large force which will be kept here to snddenly seize upon and hold the city of Vera Cruz, should the republicans of Mexico demand from us this service.

Our Administration would be fully warranted in acting thus, without in any way giving any previous warning to the French, who would consequently find themselves in a trap. Thirty or forty thousand of our best troops, with a sufficient escort of ironclads, could easily hold Vera Cruz against any force inclined to attack them. We ere the natural guardians of tbe Mexicans, and it is to our interest to uphold them against any forced change ot government, nnd we are bound to do all in our power to prevent the substitution of a French empire for the Mexican republic, i lie Monroe doctrine we must fully vindicate. The concentration of a large force here would render tbe undertaking to which we refer quite feasible. It might be ac- compnsnea at any moment eovctnally and quickly, and wonld, of course, put an end to all the ambitions plans and views of tbe Emperor Napoleon as regards this continent.

Our administration is, of course, fully aware that, soon er or later, we must take the Mexican affair in hand, nnd it is likely that we may do it sooner than all parties expect. The end of the rebellion is now near at hand, and we shall find ourselves with a force of seven or eight hundred thousand veteran troops, anxious for more service and all quite willing and ready to give a lesson to the presumptuous Frenchmen who have invaded our continent. After having put down tl)e rebellion, our troops jill have the glorious privilege of driving from American eoil those Eqropean nations who have imagined' that onr fate was sealed, and that they might with impunity insult the majesty of our great republic. Uur veterans will, at some day not far distant, effectually dispel these erroneous impressions. X.
