ELIPOBIA, KANSAS. SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1864. CALL rOU A. UEPIJIILICAN STATE COXTEXTIOX. The Republicans of Kansas, and all others who support the policy of the National Administration in suppressing the present rebellion, will meet in State Convention at Topeka on Thursday, April 21st, 1864, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the National Republican Cosvention, to be held at Baltimore, on June 7th.

1CG4, to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. The basis of representation will be one delegate ft om each Representative District in the State. Primary meetings will be held in. each Repreeenlative District on Saturday, April 16th, to select tie above delegates. Chester Thomas, Chairman State Central Committee.

Sidney Clarke, Sec'y. Itailrcad Convcntiou. The Delegate Railroad Canvention which wa3 held at Otlumwa, on the 9th adjourned to meet at Emporia, on MONDAY, THE 2jtii DAY OF APRIL, 1801 The counties interested in the construction of the Neosho Valley ii ranch, of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, and also those interested in its continuation, to Furt Riley ere earnestly requested to eend delegates to said convention. The apportionment is one delegate from each Representative District. We hope to see full delegations from all the counties ia the Neosho Valley, and those adjacent.

A project is on foot to disconnect this branch road from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road, and oiganize a separate company for its early construction. Other important business will come before the Convention. By order of the Convention. H. N.

Bent, President. J. Stotleb, Secretary. Papers of the Neosho Valley please copy. We don't know whether we shall issue paper next week or not.

We will try to get out something. Our printers, L. G. Cook, and Russ Randall, leave us Monday, to enlist in the army, which leaves us entirely alone. There is not a printer to be had, even at Leavenworth.

This ia the second time The News office has been stripped of printers, since the war commenced. We 6hall Lave to do the best we can, and that is all the public can require. Rev. J. W.

Stewart, former Pastor of the M. E. Church, at this place, was cxpell cd from the ministry and membership of the church, at the late" session of the Kan sas Conference, on charges which most of our readers are acquainted with. A re markable feature developed in the history of this case, is that the committee called to investigate it here, last September, did not find Stewart guilty of any misdemeanor worthy of censure. The Kansas Conference, with the same evidence that was taken before the committee, convicted him of crime, for which he wa3 not only expelled from the miniatry, but also frcm membar-ship ia the Church.

There ceems to be little doubt of a draft in Kansas. How many it will take from Lyon county, there is no means of knowing. About fifteen have gone within the last week. By the way, we understand that some who have gone from here were credited to Lawrence. We hope the proper authorities will look into this, and correct it if true.

Varrentbursr, Pnola Sc Emporia Railroad. In the United States Senate, on the llth of March, Senator Line offered the following resolution, which was agreed to and ordered to be printed Resolved, That the Committee on the cFacific Railroad be instructed to consider the subject of aiding the construction of a railroad from Warrensburg, in the Stale of Missouri, to Emporia, in the State of Kansas. A peaceable citizen living near Black Jack, Kansas, was murdered on the night of the 15th, in cold blood. Suspicion rested upon three soldiers belonging to a portion of the Eleventh which was camped at Lanesfield. They were followed to camp by some of the murdered man's neighbors, where they were detected, tried by court martial and two of them, Wagner and Hannegan, were shot.

The other, Miller, is still in custody. Msjor Plumb, with about forty men of the Elevent Kansas, started out from Humboldt a short time ago on a scout. They returned, having killed three bushwhackers and taken several horses at cowskin. It appears from official documents in the StAle Department that during the year ending with December, nearly 200,000 foreign immigrants arrived in the United Stales. Of these 4,587 landed in Maine 2,000 in New Hampshire 9,030 in Massachusetts; 4C0 in Rhode Island nearly 172,000 in New York 115 io New Jersey 3,088 in Pennsylvania: 1,176 in Maryland 140 in Florida 7,400 in California, and 482 in Oregon.

There was no news of importance lst night. Prairie Fire Law. Editor News In your last I notice an anonymous communication upon this subject, purporting to come- from WalSs," the Crst part of which so far a3 it is in telligible at all seems either to cast an im-l putation on the correctness of Judge Bent's! ruling at the term of the District Court; for this county, in the case of Pierce vs. Smith, or to intimate that there is a diCir-' encs between him and myself upon the point ruled, or that I have been guiity of neglect of official duty in simitar esses, though. I confess myself in considerable doubt 33 to what the writsr docs moan.

So far as I am concerned I do not to vindicate my rulings, or other oGciai acts, through the columnsof a new-rnper. If 1 make erroneous rulings our law provides a speedy and adequate remedy, viz Ly having them reviewed by a superij court, and the erron, if any there corrected. It seems but fair, however, that Judge Bent should be placed in the right position before the community. The ruling in question was made upon section four of our statute in relation, to the filing of vroods, marshes and praiiics, which is as fallows "Skc. 4.

Nothing herein contained shall bo to construed ai to prevent any person from firing against fire. as to protect his or her proniy from bci-g destroyed." Judge instructed jury upon this section that in order to bring the defendant within its provisions, so as to exempt him from liability for damage occasioned by setting out Gre, that there must have been a reasonable probability of immediate danger to his property, rnd not merely that remote possible contingency which exists in every prairie country, that some time or other fire might ouis along and might occasion him damge, and it was for the jury to dc-termine whether or not that reasonable probability of immediate danger" existcu at the time the fire was set out whereby the damage was occasioned. I have so ruled on the'eection, and this is, I thiuk, without doubt, its true construction. To construe it in any other manner would Lg to render the act in relation to prairie fires of no practical effect whatever for how easy it would be for a defendant to say, when it was sought to hold him to a just account for damage occasioned by carelessly or maliciously setting out fire, that he was only firing against fire by burning around his house, or field, or farm, sos to protect his property from being destroyed by a fire that mighVpossilly come along at some future time, and which might possibly do him some damage and he would thereby escape from his just liability. This is not for a moment to be thought of.

Common sense and public policy alike forbid that any such construction should be given to the section to which I have referred. Prairie fires are the crying evils the curses of our Si-He, end there must 1J protection against them. What amount of damage has been done by them during the past year in this section Lei any reflecting man consider, and he cannot escape the conclusion that thousands of dollars 1 had almost said hundred thousands worth of property has been destroyed in this way during the past year in Lyon county alone.

Rcggles. Notes by the Way. Steamboat, Weston, Mrssounr,) March 16th, 13G4. Editor News After two days pounding and thumping in a Kansa3 stage coach I set down to comply with my agreement, to wit to communicate to Tin: News any thing of interest that I might see or hear in my meanJerings Est. There is but little to interest the jolted traveler between the points of Emporia and Lawrence, except, perhaps, it may be to count the posts in the rail fences ar: el look on the modern improvements of the thrifty and industrious f3rmers, such as log houses, stojie fences, cows and calves, and potent chickens.

As we rode into Lawrence I noticed by the posters that A. Ward, the great Hoosier fchowaaan and wonderful letter writer, would speak a piece in town night on the subject of Robinson Crusoe. 1 instantly concluded to go and hear him deliver him self about old Robinson, and, if possible, give your readers a synopsis of the great piece. Well, I went, and as luck would have it my confounded I got a seat full in front of the speaker's stand. Soon Artemus came in.

Shall I describe him? 1 will. Take him as a whole, he would make a matchless figure-head for a comic almanac. He stands about five feet ten in his boots. Ilia eyes aie dark and lock like two small holes burned in aside of leather. His nose is large and slightly inclined to slant downward, which would indicate that he is a good hand to pick cherries, because he would hang by his nasal organ and pick with both hands.

He supports a mustacbeof rather large dimensions, which he contrives to pull often while he says "his piece." His chin is of fine mould; his voiie low snd smooth but net musical. That is A. Ward, showman, orator, etc. The lecture well, I can't report it. Nor do I believe there is any other person that can.

It wa3 brim full of fun, and had no particular reference to anything. He mentioned hi3 subject twice and begged pardon for digression. Artemus is a printer, and for that reason, if for no other, I would give some extracts of his piece did not spac forbid. As I entered the lecture room got taken up by a squad of Co. Ninesters," a merry and gay outfit.

The head men in the squad were Bugler Murdock and Sergeant Watson, who enjoyed the feast of fun which Artemus gave them. The boys believe in the eld saw lauh and "row fat." They have no need to grow fat though, if their looks indicate anything. I conversed with several gentlemen about the fraud. They all thought that the grocer wcuid Lave to do a his biz to carry the thing through, and then get beat at last. So mote it be.

I stepped at the Norton, nnd found good fare, a clean bed, and moderate charges. Yours, Joxes. THE WAR NEWS. A dispatch to the incinnat i Commer cial, from Strawberry Plains 13th, says the rebels are at Bull's Gap in large force, probably 20,000. Reports of their having sent away most of their artillery and wagons, by railroad, and mounted their men on draught horses, are corfirmed.

It is generally believed they will make a sudden movement into Kentucky. The Washington Star, cf the 19th, eays: From parties who arrived here, frcm the front to vre learn that a rebel advaace wa3 cnticipaled yesterday, and marching orders were issued to nearly all our commands. Afier, however, dl had been packed and all was in readiness for a move, the cidar was countermanded, and things have settled down to the usual order. Gen. Grant was expected at Washington on Wednesday Lu.t.

He would immediate ly proceed to headquarters in the field. His object thi3 epring is to take Richmond. The Newborn Times ure3 the sending of 50,000 troops to North Carolina. New bern i3 impregnable, but the time hr.3 come when the Federal army should penetrate to the interior, carrying the banner of social and political emancipation. The harmuo: of 51 Union soldiers at Kingston, and the reported hanging of sev eral companies of the Second North Caro lina regiment, has given start to the enlist ment of conscripts and deserters, who are eager to avenge these atrocities.

Two of cur piisoners were frozen to death on their way from Richmond to Americus, Ga. Thirty-one escaped from the cars on the route. Gen. Price has issued an orer, dated Longwood, Arkansas, March 3d, assuming command of the rebel Department of Ar kansaa. The Union prisoners at Columbia very nearly made their escape a few days ago by tunneling out.

Thirty-five Federals escaped from Columbia, Sou ih Carolina, prison on Wednes day. A dispatch from Meridian, sas Sherman has gone down the Mississippi with his-troops, evidently destined for Red River. Gen. Hindman lias resigned. Gen.

Hood commands his corps. ijcliinndge takes command of South western Virginia. Under the last CiJl for Ohio is short 20,000. There is a sloiy of a conspiracy in Kentucky against the Government, but it is discredited. A special to the Post say3 the Naval Committee cf the House has taken nearlv nineteen hundred pages of testimony in its investigation of the affairs of the Navy Department.

There is not a particle of evidence yet produced to show that the Department has been mismanaged. Mr. Quin-tard, of Morgan Iron Works, testified before the committee that that establishment had lost 875,000 by its contracts for iron work for the Government. The Wilmington Journal, of the 1st, says is full of Yankee spies and incendiaries. Two fires occurred on the 29th The Hoase Committee on Foreign Affairs, it is said, will shortly report a series of resolutions in reference to the Mexican question, taking strong grounds in favor of the Monroe doctrine.

Mobile papers of the 9ih of Match say the Union forces attempted to land on Dauphin Inland, thinking 'it unoccupied; but happening to catch sight of Confederate soldiers, concealed and waiting to receive them, they hastily retired, and afterwards furiously shelled the woods. They aUo siy that Union picket boats reconnoiter with impunity to the foot of Fort Gaines' wharf. A dispatch from New Orleans, March 12, contains the following There is considerable stir and activity in military matters here. Gen. Banks is on the eve of his departure for Western Louisiana.

His objective point is probably Alexandria. A fleet cf Admiral Porter's gunboats have already started for Alexandria. It expected that rather formidable work of defense will be encountered by the iron-clads, one of which is the newly launched Ozark.between the mouth of Red River and Alexandria. Gen. Lee's cavalry left Alexandria about a week ago.

Their destination is supposed to be westward. Madiscnville, a small town on Lake Pontchartrain, opposite New Orleans, ha3 been evacuated. It was occupied by on the 13ih of Jan uary, and extensive fortifications were thrown up on the land 6ide then. These works were left intact, but add nothing to the strength of the place for the rebels as it is easily approached by water. The object sought by occupying the place was to open communication with Baton Rcuge.

Gen. Grover's whole force has been ordered to concentrate at the latter place. It is believed some sort of an understanding hr-s been entered into between Generr.h Banks and Steele by which Western Louisiana and Southern Arkansas are to ba cleared of rebel troops. An order had just been issued by Gen. J3ank3 to hold an election for delegates to the Constitutional Convention, cn the 23ih inst.

The Convention meets in New Orleans, on the 6ih of April. There are to be 150 delegates chosen on a white basis, a3 per census of 1860. 4 New-Orleans will have C3 members. A dispatch frcm Washington, dutcJ the 18th, says Mr. Clement C.

Burley, of Philadelphia, arrived here to-day, and brings a rumor that the rebels intended another invasion of Maryland. His statements arc entitled to some credit, from the fact that he made the earliest of Lee's intended invasion of Maryland last June. Some facts in partial corroboration of this report are known here. It is believed the enemy is burning to avenge the foray of Kilpatrick, and that while Gen. Grant is preparing for the capture of Richmond, Lee will execute one of his bold movements, abandon his communication with the rebel capital, and mak9 a dash for Washington or for the rear of the army of the Potomac.

Two of our soldiers were captured yesterday near Munson's Hill, showing that the rebel scouts are within our lines, and active-preparations for the defense of the foils around Washington, indicate that the military authorities are apprehensive cf a ferny at least, if not for a movement of the main body of Lee's army toward the National Capital. News from Washington of the 18th, reports Stuart's cavalry as having crossed rt Fredericksburg, five hundred strong. Grey writes from headquarters, dated this morn ing as follows By reason of reports that Stuart is concentrating tare bodies of cav airy at Fredericksburg, preparatory to a monster raid, one cavalry corps has been placed under orders to move at a moment's notice. The wildest rumors are in circula lion regarding nis movements, jv rumor at Warrenton Junction says he bivouacked last night a few miles south of that place, but nothing to confirm the rumor had been received when the mail train passed that place tbi3 morning. The enemy had strengthened hi3 pickets along the Rapidan, "and also erected new and formidable woiks opposite several fords.

A Philadelphia dispatch from Culpepper Court House eays the signal officers on Cedar mountain report that the rebels who have been in camp across the Rapidan winter, broke up their encampment and set fire to their huts, marching oil in the direction of the Shenandoah Valley. A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, says all the veteian regiments in Ohio, belonging to the department South, have been ordeied to the army of the Potomac. This looks significant. The following i3 from the official report of Gen. Sherman, dated Virksburg February 27 'I got in this morning from Canton, where I left my command in splendid condition.

Reached Jackson, February Sib crossed Pearl river and passed through Brandon to Norton, where the enemy made dispositions for battle, but fled in the nigh'. I posted cn over all obstacles, and reached ileriaian. ireoruarv I4tn. uan. nav-4 ing the railroad to assist him on Li 3 re-treat, escaped across the Tombigbee on the 17th.

We stayed at Meridian a week, and mado the most complete destruction of the railroad eer beheld, south below Quitman, east to Cuba Station, and twenty miles north to Lauderdale Springs, and well all the way back to Jackson. I could hear nothing of the cavalry force of General Smith, ordered to ba there by the 10th of February. I enclose by mail, with this, a copy of his instructions. I then began to give back slowly, making a circuit by the north to Canton, where I left the army yesterday in splendid condi tion. I will leave it there five days, in hopes the cavalry force from Memphis will turn up then I will have them come in." The followicff is from General Butler- field: 'Our total loss in tilled, wounded and missing is 175.

The general result of the expedition, in eluding Smith's Yazoo movement, is a3 follows One hundred and fifty miles of railroad, sixty-seven bridges, seven thousand feet of trestle, twenty locomotives, twenty-eight cars, ten thousand bales cotton, several steam mills and over two million bushels corn destroyed. The railroad destruction was complete and thorough. The cumber of prisoners captured exceeds all our loss. Upward of eight thousand contrabands and refugees came in with our various columns. Cotton is arriving at Nashville, in large quantities.

The ls3t sale was for C3 cents per pound. Direct and Reliable News from Idaho. We are enrbled to lay before our readers direct and reliable news from the Idaho gold mines. Dr. E.

D. Ralph, an old and well known citizen of this city, went to Bannock last year with a stock of goods and has just returned. We have bad a conversation with him, and gather the following interesting particulars Firt, as to gold, it is there, and in large quantities. The main mining is as yet C'u'ch and sluice mining, although there are two quartz mills, which are paying well. The gold itself is of a very pure quality worth 13.00 per ounce, "it is found in" the form of nuggets, as well as that of dust.

The Doctor showed us a couple of beautiful nuggets, which Mr. Shouse, cf the Mechanic's Bank, weighed in cur presence- the one worth 810 and the other 8. The Doctor tells us that he ha3 himself eeen nuggets worth Si 70, while ihose worth from 050 to 8100 r.re quite common. He says that last year everybody in tli-3 mines did well. He brings news from a ce.uple of old residents of Kr.ns.3 City, viz Jim Vivian and Mr.

Underwood. They both spent a ceuple cf 3'ears in Colorado, without making anything, but are now doing well ia Idaho. Vivian is r.t Stinking Water Gulch, and employs 20 men in running sluices. He takes cut, on an average, 81,200 per Cay. Underwood is also doing well.

A colored man, namd Harrison, foimerly of this place, has Ida up ever a thousand dollars, earned by cooking for a mess. Laborers are plenty at 80 per da. There is plenty of water for running cluiees. The mining is much like that in Culiibrnia in early days. Idaho, 03 cur readers are aware, is the name of a large Tenitory.

The two principal mining towns are Bannock and Virginia City about sixty-five miles apart Bannock being the most easterly, and situated on the stream called Beaver Head. There are from eight hundred to one thousand people at Bannock, and about five thousand in the vicinity of Virginia City. The mines are on the eastern slope of the Rockv Mountains. Stores run from Ban nock to Salt Lake fare sixty dollars. The people of Idaho have been cleaning out the scoundrels lately at a teriibl-3 rate.

Over twenty been hung among them the sheriff and. deputy sheriff of Virginia City. One of the fellows was named Gai'sger, and formerly from this city. The Doctor eays the trip can be made from here to Bannock, with a mule train, in about seventy 'days with oxen, from ninety to one hundred days. Those going should procure their tools before starting, R3 tools are very high' there shovels 812, kc.

Provisions to last sis months should be taken. He is about to return himself. Coming as these statements do from a per fectly reliable and well known m3n, we are glad to place them before our readers. ICansas City Journal of Commerce. To the Children of Lyon County.

You all love your soldier friends. Some of you have fathers in the army some brothers and un eles. And we all have manv friends amonrr the soldiers. We love our brave soldiers we love our country and I hope we love the too, which tells of Jesus, the Saviour, and points us the way of life. What a book is the Bible What should wo do with it Dj you not wish that everybody r.au a or iesument iiat there are r.

great msny in Kansas, and some in this county, who Lr.ve no Bible, or Testament even, and seme time ago I heard of cne poor mr.n who cried bitterly, when became to die, because he could not find a Bible. How sad thus to die, without the Bible A great man' of the soldiers that are fighting for oar county have no Bible. Now, how would you like to send them Testa ments You know that a great many of them are wounded, taken sick, and die. Would you net like to send something to the poor sick and wounded soldieis How sad and lonely they must feel. Let me tell you a story.

One poor fellow was dreadfully wounded in the terrible battle of Ad-detain. lie picked up a Testament from a dead soldier. "He did "not need it any more," said the wounded man, "but I did. fUi my sorrow, when I had no or.e to speak to me, thst booii spone (o me in tones cf love. It told me that odIv Jesus could do me good now." Children, how much good that book did him then.

A great many Testaments are found, blood-stained, upon soldiers, open at such verses as "Come unto me all ye that hbor." "God so lov ed the world." "lie is able to save to the uttermost," etc. But I hope to see many of you soon and will tell you more. Now, what we propose to do is to form a Children's Soldiers Bible Society. Any cne under sixteen may become a member by paying fifteen cents. Each name will bo recorded in a book, and each member will receive a neatly printed certificate of membership.

The money will be sent to New York, with directions to be expended for the purchase of Testaments for soldiers. Each neighborhood will be visited by pome of the officers cf the Lyon County Bible Society, and both subjects be presented at the same time. We shall commence just as eoon a3 the printing can be done, which will be in two or three weeka. I Lope each little boy and girl will hare one of these certificates to show when they have grown up, that they have done some thing for the soldier. Whenever you hear of a notice of a Bible meeling.be sure that you all attend.
