EMPORIA, KAN8A3. SATURDAY, JUNE IS, 1863. For President in 1864, GEN. BENJAMIN F. BUTLER, Of Massachusetts For Vice President, HON.

LYMAN TRUMBULL, Tit? Of Illinois. AKX7 BKN BITTLKK. "AboM ten Butler (way his tribe increase!) Awoke "One night down by the old Balize, And law, outside the comfort of hU room. Making it warmer for the gathering gloom. A.

Butler spoke more low, But cheerily still, and said, 'At I am Ben, Thou'lt not have cause to tell me that The figure bowed and vanished.

The next night It came again, environed strong in light, And showed the names whom love of Freedom blessed, And lo! Ben Butler's name led all the rest!" The bridge over the Kaw, at Lawrence, is to be built immediately. Workmen are uow engaged in getting out the stone. Somebody says the initials of Grant's name U. S. stands for Unconditional Surrender.

That's his style. Sol. Miller, a few weeks ago, favored Mr. Lincoln for next President. The New York Herald follows suit.

We have a ticket, this week, which we like better. The Conservative says an order has been eent'by the War Department, for the payment of the First Colored Regiment. The officers are to receive the Game pay as those of white regiments, and the soldiers 810 per month. The Missouri Democrat's Washington correspondent writes under date of June 10th. The amount of legal tender notes now out is 8381,000,000, and nearly four millions of demand notes.

Deposits were made to-day for national banks at Cleveland, Ohio, New Haven, Connecticut, and Erie, Pennsylvania. Hon. S. C. Pomeroy will accept our thanks for a copy of the "Report of the Committee on the War." It is a very interesting book, and should be read by all the admirers of McClellan.

If it don't cure them of thinking that he is a great man and a patriot, then we are mistaken. The evidences of his criminal delays, if not treason, abound on almost every page. Who says that "no good ever came out of Nazareth?" The council of the city of Baltimore lately passed the following resolution: "Resolved, That we have heard with pleasure of the arrest and transportation beyond our lines of Clement L. Vallandigham; and that in their judgment the beet interests of the country and the preservation of the Government fully justified the proceeding." John Speer and Sam Wood have had a controversy as to the amount of internal revenue paid by Council Grove. Speer offers to give Wood a receipt for the whole for 6350; but thinks it might -be increased to 8500 by means of the annexed assessments: Present Assessment, 8325.00 Sam.

Wood, Banker. 100.00 Sam. Wood, Commercial Broker, 50.00 Sam. Wood, one Stallion, 10.00 Sam; Wood, one Jack, 10.00 Sam. Wood, 8th class Hotel, 5.00 Total, 8500.00 The Lawrence Tribune has just hit the nail on the head.

That's just the way things are done at the Grove. Council Grove is situated near Akin's mill. ANOTHER RAID. We have again to record an invasion of our border, and the sacking of one of our towns, and the murder of. several of ourcit-ixens, by Dick Yeager and Cy.

Gordon, who undoubtedly compose a part of Quan-trile'a band of cut-throats. On Saturday night last they came over the border, about fifty strong, and sacked and burned the beautiful village of Shawnee, near Westport, and killed four men and wounded six others. Within the last six months, they have invaded Kansas several times twice coming out over a hundred miles on one of the moat public thorough-fares in the Slate. How long are these things to continue? We consider it a burning shame to our Stale, that a handful of outlaws should thus set at defiance our military and civil authorities. At no time since the first invasion have there been than two regiments of U.

S. troopa on our border it said for our protection. And fifty men pass them with impunity whenever possessed with a desire to murder, and pillage on cur border. If those troops axe of no account in this Bute, send them where they will be put to some use and let the people take the matUr in hand. They will protect themselves.

This farce of being protected by the soldiers, is about played out. Thay cannot be depended upon. The Slate had better hire a few hundred Osage Indians, to hunt down bushwhackers. The way in which they served the gang that fell into hands a few weeks ago, is the only manner getting rid of them. ITE51S BY LAST NIGHT'S 3 AIL.

The boys of the 1 1th have gone to Yicks-burg. A Rolla correspondent of the Leavenworth Times writing under date of June 6th says: At last a portion of the Army of the Frontier is en route for Vicksburg The 20th Wisconsin, 97th Illinois, and 19ih Iowa regiments left to-day for St. Louis and Vicksburg. The 6th, 10th and lltb Kan-i Baa, and 9th Wisconsin have broken upj camp at Salem, twenty miles distant from this place, and are on the march to this point, to embaik here for St. Louis and Grant's army.

The latter is Gen. Ewing's brigade. The Tribune of the 9th learns from a gentleman fully conversant with affairs at Port Hudson and the Gulf Department, some interesting facts respecting the situation of Banks army. Our informant left Port Hudson on the evening of the 3lsl. There had been no fighting of consequence since the assault on the 27th; but Banks has been industriously and rapidly contracting his lines, approaching the rebels's works.

The wings of the army rested on or near the river above and below, and there was no possibility of the rebel reinforcements reaching the beleaguered garrison. There is some stir on the Rappahannock. The following is all we can gather in regard to movements. The Times' special from headquarters Army of the Potomac, on the evening of the 7th, says a position was taken by Howe's division on the south bank of the Rappahannock. On Friday evening he still held it.

The only hostile demonstration within the last 24 hours is an occasional shell from a four and a half inch Rodman stationed on the hill. The enemy is closely watching our movements, evidently hoping we may continue our advance, and meet him on his chosen ground. By the latest news from Europe.it seems that recognition, from several foreign powers, is imminent. Mr. Roebuck has given notice that he would offer a motion in Parliament that England open negotiation with other powers for the recognition of the Confederacy.

Mason and SHdell are in Paris, making fresh efforts' for recognition. The general impression is that France will take the lead in tecognizing the South, and that the re6t of Europe will not be slow to follow. A Memphis letter of the 3d says Gen. Osterhaus is on the west side of Big Black with an entire division of the army, watching Joe Johnston, who appeared there on the 1st and 2d with five thousand infantry and some artillery. Some shots were exchanged and the rebels retired.

It is said that Johnston has 18,000 men, poorly arm ed and deficient in artillery. There is no probability of his being able to relieve Pem-berton. Col. Grierson is slashing around was at last accounts between Port Hudson and Vicksburg, tearing up railroads, destroying bridges, hunting Confederate stores, and canvassing the State generally. The Militia to be Enrolled.

John B. Scott, of Leroy, Major General of the State Militia, for, the Southern Division of Kansas, has received the following order from the Governor: State of Kansas, Executive Office. Topeka. May 27th, 1863. Maj.

Geit. Jno. B. Scott Sir: You will please proceed to superintend the organization of the Militia in the southern counties of the State, in conformity to the militia laws of the State, and cause the muster rolls of each company, with the names of the officer elected, to be forwarded to this office, that they may be commissioned. Arms will be furnished as rapidly as they can be procured.

Thos. Carnet, Gov. The Yankees seem to be gaining a decided advantage over us in Lower Louisiana, if the Yankee accounts are correct. We fear that the sugar region is lost to us. Vicksburg Whig.

Well, what do you want of bugar? You've got no coffee or tea to sweeten with it. Leavenworth Bulletin. But they've got plenty of green things, like you that they have to sweeteu to keep from spoiling. Now don't you wish you hadn't eaid anything? Ain't we cutting on each other? Vide your heavy local of the 4th. Land Sales.

The following dispatch was received by the Register and Receiver of the Land Office at Topeka, one day last week: Wa6himgto, May 20th, 1863. Register and Receiver, Tojtela, Kansas: Order discontinuing Topeka Land Office is suspended until 1st of October, next. Sales will be held at Topeka in August, as heretofore ordered. Give public notice accordingly until day of sale. Acknowledge receipt hereof.

D. S. Wiisoy, Acting Commissioner. We are happy to announce to the Press and the people of Council Grove, that Providence has smiled upon the farmers of Lyon county, and given them good crop prospects. We shall probably be able to feed them again, with all sorts of produce, at reasonable prices.

The people of that village ought to be exceedingly thankful for such good friends. In the first place the Santa Fe mule-d rivets go through there, and spend enough money for whisky to keep them in cash to buy bread, etc. And in the aecood place the people of this county take compassion on them, and haul them provisions at a very low price. But then we don't want to see Wood blowing about the great trade the "Gwove," her mailer. WEEKLY SUMMARY OP NEWS.

A telegram from Cairo, of the 7th, says: "The steamer Alice Dean has arrived, bringing1 news from Vicksburg to the 4th. An officer on the Dean reports everything progressing as usual in the rear of Vicksburg. The sappers and miners were still burrowing the hillside. The gunboats and mortar boats are still operating in front, and new sieg puns had opened fire on Thursday, as has bee a anticipated. Our sharpshooters still command the rebel works in the rear, and rebels are not allowed to show their heads, without becoming targets for hundreds of rifles.

The general position of Grant's army remains unchanged. The advanced regiments are being daily relieved, and fresh ones take their place. Gen. Osterhaus is at Big Black river, to hold Joe Johnston in check, should he attempt a movement. Johnston's force, it is supposed, is not over 10,000 reliable fighting men, but he is reported to have 20,000 conscripts, of all ages, at Eutaw, and alwut the same number near Jackson.

Deserters report the rebels In the besieged city as reduced to one ration per day, consisting of thirteen ounces of meat and corn-meal, and greatly demoralized in other respects. The sanitary condition of Grant's army is good. The Alice- Dean took down some goods. Her Captain says they have no more room for hospital stores, for the sick and wounded have more than needed; A great fire occurred in Vicksburg on Monday night. The fire is said to have originated from a 'shell.

It raged moBt fiercely around "Washington Square. It is supposed that the finest portion of the city is in ruins. Gen. McClernand is reportedo have been under arrest for disobedience of orders The Adams Express Company have advices from their Superintendent at Memphis to the 3d. The rebels burned the gunboat Cincinnati on Friday.

A. bearer of dispatches from Pemberton to Johnston was captured Thursday. The dispatch states that their forage is all gone, the men on quarter rations, their ammunition nearly exhausted, and they cannot hold out ten days. On Friday, Grant ordered every gun to throw shell into Vicksburg one hour. Three thousand six hundred were safely lodged in the city, but with what effect is not known.

It is reported that Grant was being heavily reinforced, and that his numbers and position would soon be impregnable. A special from Walnut Hills, June 2d, says: General Blair's expedition returned without the lOss of a man. Fifty-six miles of the? country from the Big Black to the Yazoo, eleven miles below Yazoo City, was ecoured by our troops. Several bridges, grist-mills and cotton-gins were destroyed; also, a large quantity of cotton, marked S. The county towards Yazoo City is teeming with agricultural riches.

Cattle, sheep and hogs aboind. Flourishing crops of corn, wheat and rye are seen on every side. Hundreds of negroes stampeded at the approach of our troops, and followed them into our lines. Joe Johnston has not yet been heard from definitely. A letter to the Times from Lexington, re ports the departure of the entire Ninth Army Corps for Vicksburg, via: Louisville.

Gen. Hart-suff was in command of the poef. Regiments were arriving to take the place of those leaving. Large numbers of East Tennessee refugees are pouring in. The steamer Morning Star, from New Orleans, arrived at New York on the 6th.

In the Depart ment, of the Gulf the whole interest in military affairs is centered in Port Hudson, which was completely invested, by the Government forces Gen. Banks commanded in person, with a force sufficient for its reduction. The enemy's strength within their defenses is estimated at from 10,000 to 20,000. Fighting was still in progress at the date of the departure of the Morning Star. Brig Gen.

Sherman arrived at New Orleans on the night of the 29th wounded, but not dangerously. Col. Djanicls, of the Second Louisiana negro regiment distinguished himself particularly in charging upon the enemy's siege guns, losing in killed and wounded over 600 men Gen. Weitzel had captured a portion of the line of defense, and held one of their heaviest batteries. The following is from the Era of the 29th: Thousands of rumors are flying about the streets, but we advise our readers not to heed them.

They are as a rule, utterly untrustworthy. That the result will be to gladden every loyal heart we have no doubt. We have no hesitation in saying the of the fighting so far has been decidedly favorable to our arms. The Herald's New Orleans correspondence of the 25th gives some particulars of the attack on Port Hudson. The attack commenced on the 27th, by land and water.

The fight was desperate all day and continued on the 28th. Gen. Weitzel, after long and close fighting, finally captured the gun battery, which sunk the Mississippi, and has turned them on the enemy. On the enemy's right, Sherman charged and carried the works by storm, but the enemy massed his troops and our men had to fall back. In this attack the 2d Louisiana (colored) fought like de mons and lost 600 out of 900 men.

On the center the attack was made by Gens. Augur and Grover, and the enemy were driven into their main works. The Tribune's correspondence, dated New Or leans the 29th, has the following: The propeller Ida arrived last night from Baton Rougev I learn that at 2 a.m. yesterday heavy cannonading could be heard at Port Hudson. Our loss is heavy, and reported to be at least 4,000 men.

The fight, without doubt, was renewed next morning. Most perfect confidence was felt that the rebel strong hold would succumb to the Union force. An expedition, consisting of 8 regiments, arrived at Algiers last night from Franklin, which will be sent immediately to the relief of Banks at Port Hudson. From Helena the news is interesting. Gen.

Price is reported to have removed his entire command from Little Rock to Fort Smith, leaving behind but a single regiment to guard the capital. Mar-raaduke is at Jaeksonport, Arkansas. Helena is strongly fortified, and beyond danger of capture. The Herald says Gen. Butler will be brought out by the War Democrats for Governor of Massachusetts.

If he consents to ran the Republicans will pi obsbly indorse him and Gov. Andrew be dropped. Richmond papers report gold six dollars premium and silver $5.50. A report is current Jthat the Federal forces are evacuating Suffolk and throwing up heavy fortifications eight miles from Norfolk, and that a greater part of Peck's forces have been sent to Hooker. Col.

Thoma Grierson has been appointed a Brigadier General, for gallant and distinguished services. A telegram from Richmond, June 3d, says: Gen. Grant demanded the surrender of Vicksburg Thursday, giving Pemberton three days to consider the command. Pemberton replied that he did not want fifteen minutes, and that the troops would diein tie trenches before they would surrender. The following telegram from X5en.

Burn-side, dated Lexington, June 4th, was eent to the New rYork World, copperhead paper: "Having been directed by the President of the United States to Tevoke that part of my order suppressing the Chicago Times, I have revoked the entire order, and your paper will be allowed to circulate in this department." It is about time Uncle Abe was sending for" Vallandigham, and asking his A Times dispatch from Washington says the enemy's movements" have taken a positively different shape in the last 24 hours. Their columns are in motion in a southwesterly direction towards Goidonsville. Constant ascensions yesterday discovered clouds of dust occasioned by the marching of continuous bodies of troops on the Gordons-ville road, as well as a disappearing of many of the camps heretofore in sight, and a doubling of the pickets along the Rappahannock. Gen. Welde is in North Carolina, organizing a brigade of black soldiers.

He is meeting with splendid success. Gen. Foster considers this a splendid field for black troops to open in. The opposition papers of this State are very severe on fire-eaters and original secesh, who, according to the utterances' of the Raleigh Standard, the special organ of Gov. Vance, will never be allowed to hold any office of honor or trust whatever in North Carolina.

From the same source Jeft. Davis ha3 been given to understand by Gov. Vance, that the fate of the Confederacy must be decided in Virginia, and that in no case will Confederate armies be allowed to make a stand in North Carolina, and deluge her fields with blood and devastation, but must, when they leave Virginia, retire into the Cotton States and end the conflict-where it begun. The officers of the Indianola, who have arr rived at Washington, state that while passing through Montgomery, Alabama, they witnessed the launching of a rebel steamer 244 feet long and 25 feet beam, four inch A New Orleans letter of the 27th mentions a report that one of our gunboats had destroyed the town of Franklin, Louisiana, in consequence of being fired upon while passing by guerrillas. Admiral Foote has been ordered to supercede Dupont.

Richmond papers of the 1st and 2d, state that Vallandigham was still at Shel-byville. A Washington dispatch of June 7th says: Reports from the army of the Potomac tonight, represent matters very quiet to-day Rebel forces were seen yesterday in large numbers returning to the fortifications in the rear and below Fredericksburg. It was reported there was a review of Fitz Hugh Lee's and Hamilton's troops by Gen. Stuart, at Culpepper, yesterday. They numbered from twelve to fifteen thousand men.

One of the prisoners captured Friday below Fredericksburg, stated it was intended 60on to make a Taid towards Washington. If such designs are entertained they will find ample preparations made for their reception. The object of the reconnoissance across the Rappahannock was fully accomplished. One of Our Boys. Some one has sent us a history of the First Regiment of Colorado Volunteers.

In it we find the following sketch of an Emporia boy, named C. W. Logan, son of Robert Logan, near this place. It will be recollected by some that was an apprentice in The News officein 1858 He graduated in the printing business in the remarkably short space of three months, and after licking the editor, t. Randall, he left the office and town to take a "tramp," the fashion among "old jouis." After leaving here he took the gold fever and turned up in Colorado.

He joined the regiment above named, when the war broke out, and -has certainly done his share to put down the rebellion so far: "Logan, already wounded in the faoe, observing a fellow behind a rock, leveled on him, when he called out that he was wounded and wished to surrender. Logan; dropped his aim' and advanced to disarm him, when he coolly drew up his pistol and fired. The ball, which was meant for a center shot, passed through Logan's arm. you son of a exclaimed Logan, "I'll kill you now, G-d you." And suiting the action to the word, put a bullet through his head. He lived long enough lo tell hie brother that his death-shot had been given after he was wounded and a prisoner.

Logan being in the Pigeon's, which the Texans occupied after the second fight, beard them talking about it, swearing they would hang the perpetrator of the atrocity if they could lay hands on Where-1 upon he informed them he was the man that did it, and gave his reasons. His Story, backed by his wound, proved entirely satisfactory, and he and the Texans were on the best of terms until they were separated." Mouxt Pizxrr. Business never was better in Lawrence than it is this season. Allot our merchants brought on heavy stocks of goods; and it ia well tbey did, for there has been and is a great demand for them. The farmer finds here a ready market for his produce; mechanics, laborers, all have plenty to do.

and consequently almost every one has the "green-backs," and invests them freely in commodities which are worth more to him than the money. Lawrence Republican. Correspondence of the Conseivative. From Fort Gibson. Fobt Gibson.

C. May 29, 1863. A messenger arrived at this Post on the evening of the 24th announcing the approach of the tram. Lieut. Col.

Schaurte started immediately after the train, and found it at 9 p. at a distance of 22 miles. He ordered the train get in readiness at once and started it at a double quick. At daybreak, within four miles of this place, the enemy attacked it, causing considerable excitement and confusion; but through the energy of Colonel Schaurte and Capt. Stout, and their subordinates, the train was brought safely in.

The routed enemy was hotly pursued and from 50 to 70 killed. Capt. McCalf was surrounded on the night of the 23d inst. by rebels, while guarding a defile at the Eldndge crossing of the Verdigris. The rebels Tun in, and he run out hotly pushed by them.

He killed his swiftest pursuer, and then concealed himself for two days, surrounded by rebels and nothing to eat." We receive him as from the dead. Rhoades was taken prisoner. Eight of the 4th Indiana escaped by swimming the river. Times are "scaly." Col. Phillips make the most judicious disposi-tian of the forces at his disposal, but they are altogether inadequate to the demand.

Surrounding circumstances imperatively demand large reinforcements, lo abandon this Post would crush the spirit of the Indians, and almost, if not entirely, demoral ize this brigade. J. B. M. Two Thieves Huns Highland.

We learn from Mr. M. M. May, who was at trial and execution, that Wm. Cannon and Jas.

Melvine were hung at Highland, in Doniphan County, on Wednesday, June 3d. They had robbed Charley Devine, Mr Beeler and Mr. Martin of a pair of mules, a wagon and three saddles. The persons who had been robbed pursued the desperadoes to within a mile and a half of Kennekuk, shot them and left them for dead. The thieves, however, were not seriously injured and were soon on the road again.

Another party started in pursuit and captured them near Alt. Pleasant, in Atchison county. They were then taken back and tried at Highland. A jury composed of twelve substantial citizens gave them a fair trial and brought in a verdict of guilty. 1 After a prayer was pronounced for the wretched men, they were both hanged.

Thus another terrible warning has been given to the thieving gangs that have infesting our State. An earnest people will not long allow itself to be cursed by horse thieves. Conservative. Progress of the Work on the L. P.

dV W. R. R. Some time since, we made mention of a patent excavator in use on this road. As we bavo not yet had an opportunity of witnessing its operations, we are indebted to the Lawience Tribune for some paiticulars relative thereto.

The Tribune says: It is a machine shaped like a scoop at its forward end, the bind end runningon wheels. The dirt passes up the scoop until it is raised about six feet, when it makes a turn and it empties into a wagon. When the machine starts, a wagon-- drives alongside, and the earth runs in a regular stream (if we can call anything not liquid a stream), filling wagon after wagon, as they drive under it, constantly, while running. We were told that it could employ twenty wagons where it was at work, hauling the earth a quarter to a half-mile. Of course the number of wagons would vary according to the distance of hauling.

About a mile of the road seems nearly graded. This would seem to indicate that work is to be pushed forward with alacrity. The company have certainly evinced great activity and energy in the The embarrassments of the times have seemed to present tnsurmounta-able obstacles, but still the company have gone steadily ahead.
