mm EMPORIA, KANSAS. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1863. LAST NIIITS N12WS. The Leavenworth election haa resulted in the, success of the entire Republican ticket. A telegram from Washington of the 2d "From the front we learn there are indications of a disposition on the part of Gen.

Meade to obey orders by attacking the enemy, and the truth as to whether Lee inlerds to fight or not, will soon be settled. There is no need of hunting for a foe, as they are all around." The appointment of Gen. Butler to the Department, of which Fortress Monroe is the Headquarters, is considered an earnest of a purpose to conduct the war in that quarter on what are known as Butler principles. Returns indicate that the Republicans hare carried Massachusetts by a larger iwa- jority than was ever anticipated. Missouri Election.

A dispatch from St. Louis says: "At present it is impossible to speak with certainty of the result in the State; but the indications are certainly cheering. If the Union men have had anything like fair play in the country, the Radical State ticket is elected without a doubt. We have 2,000 Radical majorrty io the city. The Radical majority in St.

Jce. is 302. The District is claimed for Radical majority of 3,000. In Hanibal the radical majority is 270. New York The Union majority in forty-nine counties is 24,250, with eighteen counties to hear from.

The New York Express eays if the vote io the city be any indication of the vote of the State, the State has gone Republican by an emphatic majority. The vote here is light, and the Democratic majority will be reduced to from eight to ten thousand. The order for Gen. Butler to relieve Gen. Foster is published, and it is hoped that the new military administration may infuse vigor into operations there.

The Richmond Whig of the 31st contains Charleston News of the 3Qih. It says: "The bombardment of Sumter to-day is the heaviest that has ever taken place. From sundown Wednesday to sundown Thursday 7,260 shots, from 15 inch mortars and 300-pound Parrottsr have been thrown against the Fort. There is nothing of further importance from this quarter. The gene ral belief is that our batteries will succeed in tntire destroying Sumter, and driving from it the diminished garrison now holding it.

Deserters from the enemy acknowledge a fear among the redel soldiers that we will jet get into the city. THE ELECTION. The election on Tuesday wa3 spirited, and the contest over the county offices and Representatives was warm. In the county there was 531 votes polled 36 more than was cast last at th State election. The ticket elected 13 a good one.

The men aiC well qualified and of excellent character. For ourselves we are well satisfied with the result, although some of the successful men were not our first choice for the respective offices for which they ran. fight on Representative in this District was a close one. The candidates stumped the District, and many bitter things were eafd. Such is always the case in a fight of the kind.

A small majority of the people thought Mr. Esk ridge the best man to represent them, and we can assure the. people that we are satisfied with their action so far as we are personally concerned. Mr. E.

will work hard for our interests. He has always done so. The following is the vote of the county on the respective offices: The official abstract was not received until late yesterday afternoon, and we cannot publish it until next week. We can only give the total vote for each candidate this week: fOR CHIEF JUSTICfi. Robert Crozier, DISTRICT ATTORNKT.

Some of our people have expressed the opinion that Lawrence had not fulfilled the requirements of the University act, and that we would yet get that institution by their default, as the law located it here provided Lawrence failed to do what was re-quhed of her. By the following proclamation of Governor Carney, it will be seen that the question is for ever settled, and the institution located at Lawrence: PROCLAMATION.

State of Kansas, Executive Department Wiierkas, The Commissioners appointed to permanently locate the State University, did on the first day of March, A. D. 1863, file in the office of the auditor of State their report, locating said Institution at an eligible point, adjacent to the city of Lawrence, and did file therewith a good and sufficient deed in fee simple, with warrantee thereto, to forty acres of land for the site of said Institution; and "Whereas, The Treasurer of State has certified the sum of fifteeu thousand dollars been deposited with him 83 a fund for said University; and Whereas, The provisions of law governing the location of said University been fully complied with; Now, therefore, Thoma3 Carney, Governor of the State of Kansas, by virtue of the authority in me vested by law, do proclaim and declare the University of the State of Kansas to be permanently located at the city of Lawrence, upon the tract of land selected and deeded to the State of Kansas, as above set forth. In testimony whereof I have liere- II i uat0 set my har)d an(l caused the 1 ') great seat seal of the State to be affixed. at Topeka, Kansas, tb.13 2d day of November, A.

We see it stated by an exchange that Thomas Carney will be a candidate against General Lane for his seat in the Senate. The three prominent candidates, so far as we can learn, are General Lane, General EwiHg, and Thomas Carney. While we do not wish to be considered as committing ourselves on this question at this early day, we are rather disposed to think that Mr. Carney is the best mm cf the three for the place. He has made, so far, a most excellent Govenor, and shown himself to be a man of great executive ability.

Retributive Justice. So sure as the sun runs its daily course so sure as the needle points to the po le almost 60 sure "murder will A few weeks ago Mr. Hairgrove, of Linn county father of the State Auditor arrested one William Griffith in Platte county Missouri, as one of the Marais des Cygnes murderers, in the Spring of 1C58. He was taken before the District Court of Linn county Judge Thacher presiding, and after a fair trial was found guilty and sentenced to be hung. He acknowledged to having been there on the fatal day, but said he was not engaged in the murder.

The proof, however, was. positive against him. This -is another case where justice has, after a long time, overtaken a black-hearted murderer. May all those who were ensued in that black deed meet the same fate. THE WAR NEWS.

TLe New York Times has the following, have been turned on the city of Charleston, and each has thrown one shell, containing Greek fire, into the very heart of the doomed place. Other guns are to open upon the city this afternoon. It was not intended at first to commence such vigorous operations, but circumstances have changed the programme to some extent. Our batteries are at work on Johnson, Sumter and Moultrie. The enemy replies reservedly to-day.

The rebels are evidently taken by surprise so far as the shelling of Charlston is concerned, although they have had suffi cient warning. Four monitors are in position off SuJJivsm's Island. It is understood that they will engage the rebel works this afternoon. The Ironside3 shows oo disposition to On the 29th Gen. Thomas telegraphed to the War Department as follows: "General Hooker was attacked at 2 o'clock last night, and a severe fight ensued, which continued two hoars, with light loss.

Hooker rtporta at 7:30 a. m. the conduct of our troops to be splendid. They repulsed every attack made oa them, and drove the enemy from every position they assailed." The Star has information, that on the 27th a brilliant movement was planned and exe cuted under the direction of Gen. Smith, Chief Engineer of the Department of the Cumberland.

Two wagon roads and the arc of the river, as lines of supplies, were acquired by the forces at Chattanooga, thus relieving the command of Gen. Thomas of its chief embarrassment. Gen. Thomas's operations at the mouth of Lookout Valley are spoken of as a great success, and their brilliancy cannot be exaggerated. A telegram from Cincinnati gives the particulars of an extraordinary case of treason which recently came to light, implicating several persons of that city, Columbus, Covington and Newport, in conspiring to release the rebel prisoners from Camp Chase, and overthrow the State Government.

The conspiracy was brought to light by United States detectives, who were supposed by parties implicated to be spies from the rebel army, and were treated with full confidence. The plot, as disclosed to the detectives, was to make au attack on Camp Cliase and release the prisoners confined there, numbering over 2,500, seize the arsenal at Columbus and take possession, and release John Morgan and other officers confined there, and then they were to commence a rebel campaign in Ohio. United States Marshal Reaney arrested the following persons, implicated in the plot: Charles W. A. Cathcart, of Columbus, formerly School Commissioner of Ohio; J.

D. Cressop, of Columbus, formerly sutler of the 18th regulars, who were to lead the attack on Camp Chase; D. Patton, of Covington, a regular agent of the rebel government, who frequently furnished money to detectives under the impression that they were spies, and, according to agreement, met Cathcart and others at Camp Chase, and assisted to mature the plan of attack. Three others, residing in Cincinnati and Covington, were also arrested. Information was obtained that an organization existed in Illinois, which was waiting for an outbreak in Ohio, to produce similar results in that State.

Other particulars are known to t)e authorities, but they cannot yet bo made public. The Provost Marshal General informs Governor Kirkwood, of Iowa, that no new regiments will be raised under Presi-dent's late call. It only contemplates recruits for old organizations. The bounties will be for such volunteers, vetrans, four hundred and two dollars, and three hundred dollars for raw recruits. We are glad of this decision.

Let us fill up the old regiments. We have got officers enough. The following was received at Washington, on the 2d, from Gen. Thomas. It i3 dated at Chattanooga Oct.

29th, and is addressed to General Halleck: "In the fight last night the enemy attacked Gen. Geary's division, reported at Waupatchie, or three sides, and broke his camp at on point, but wa3 driven back in gallant style by a part of his force, the remainder being held in reserve. General Howard, while marching to Geary's relief, was attacked on the flank by the enemy, who occupied two commanding hills on the left of the road. He immediately threw forward two of his regiments, and captured both hills at the point of the bayonet, driving the enemy from his brest-works, and across Lookout Creek. In this brilliant and sucessful charge over their old adversaries, the conduct of officers and men of the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps entitles them to the highest praise.

The officers of the Mississippi Squadron have submitted to the Navy Department a prize claim for captured vessels, amounting to 8750,000. But there are items to be brought before Congress. It is supposed that claim for prize money will be allowed for the recapture at New Orleans of lb Government buildings, the Miot, Custom House, etc. It is said several millions will be applied for, sufficient to give the sailors 700 apiece. It is probable Congress will decide in favor of the claim.

The ill-fated steamship Great Eastern has been laid up indefinitely, and it is stated she is to be sold auction. A Touching: etter. A Captain in the 13th Regulars sends us the following expressive letter from Major General bherman. It is a sad erjisode in a soldier's life: Gayoso House.) Memphis, Oct. 4.

Capt. C. C. Smith, Comd'g Bat! Zth Kefs: Mr Dear Friend I canoot sleep to night till I record an expression of the deep feelings of my heart to you and to the officers and soldiers of the battalion, for their kind behavior to my poor child. I realize that you all feel for my family the attachment of kindred, and I assure you all of full reciprocity.

Consistent with a sense of duty to my profession and office, I could not leave my post, and sent for my family to come to me in that fatal climate, and in that sickly period cf the year, and behold the result The child who, bore my name, and in future I reposed with more confidence than I did in my own plans of life, now floats a mere corpse, seeking a grave in a distant land, with a weeping mother, brother and sister clustered about him. But for myself I can ask no sympathy. On, on I must go till I meet a soldier's fate, or see my country rise superior to all factions, till its flag is adorned and respected by ourselves and all the powers of earth. But my poor Willy was, or thought be was, a Sergeant of the 13th. I have seen his eye brighten and his heart beat as he beheld the battalion under arms, and asked me if they were not real soldiers.

Child as he was, he had the enthusiasm, the pure love of truth, honor and love of country which should animate all soldiers. God only knows why he should die thus young. He is dead, but will not. le forgotten till those whok.rjfew him in life have followed him to the same roysteiious end. Please convey to the battalion my heart-felt thanks, and assure each and all that if in after years they call on me or mine, and mention that they were of the 13th when poor Willy wa3 a sergeant, they will have a key to the affections of my family that will open all it has, that we will share with them our last blanket, our last crust.

Your friend, W. T. Sherman, Major Gen'l. Latest From Western Arkansas. Letters from Fort Smith, report that Cooper is on Gaines Creek, seventy miles south of the Arkansas, near the San Bois mountains.

The Army and Navy Journal gives a tabular statement of the number of troops voluntarily raised by the loyal States, from the commencement of the war to the 1st of January.

Of this number, the Eastern States, comprising Maine, New Hampshire, "Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, have confributed 627,118. The Western States, comprising Ohio, Indiana, Iilinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky, have contributed as their quota 639, 1 28. To the latter number should be added about 15,000 from Kansas, making a total of 654,128 furnished by the West.

The City of Washington from Liverpool the twenty-first and Queenstown the twenty-second, report that Henry Ward Beecher addressed an immense audience at Exeter Hall, on the twentieth, upon the interests of the North. The Daily News eays it was orie of the most enthusiastic meetings ever and must have convinced Mr. Beecher of the truth of Earl Russet's assertion, that the great uCdv tue English people were with the North, ana cause him to return home as a messenger ot peace and good will between the two countries.

The Times combats the arguments of Mr. Beecher, and declares that he is not the man to convert the British public to the Federal cause. A most foul murder was committed near Fort Scott on Tuesday of last week. A dispute arose between a soldier named Charles Smith and a recruiting officer named Steed, when Steed shot Smith in the breast, four times in the head as he was falling, and once after he had fell- Steed was drunk at the time.

Pxospectns of the Kansas Educational Journal At the organization of the "Kansas Stale Teachers Association," which took place in Leavenworth City the 1st of October, 1863, the necessity of the aid of the Press in forwarding the interests of Education in our new State was deeply felt and fully discussed. It was finally resolved that the Executive Committee should wait on the publishers of the "Kansas Farmer," and do the best they could to secure an Educational department in that paper. The Committee, in conference with the publishers, found that in their judgment no such Department could be obtained in that paper as would meet the imperative demands of Education in thia State. The Committee then waited en the different publishing houses in Leavenworth City, and learned that a monthly periodical of thirty-two octavo pa ges would pay expenses at nfty cents a volume, provided it could secure five hundred, subscribeis, payable in advance.

This will make neat volume of three hundred and eighty pages, and ought to be in tte hands of every County Superintendent, Teacher, and friend of Education in the State.

The first number will be issued on the 1st of January, 1864. The "Journal" will bo fcdited by the Executive free of charge, until the next annual meeting of the Association. Please address all communications to the "Kansas Educational Journal," Leavenworth City, Kansas.

Upper Storius of the Professions. A young man is said to have inquired of Daniel Webster whether there was any room for him in the legal profession.

His answer was, that there is room enough for thousands in the upper stories of all the To a casual observer, the professions all seem to be full; they seem, indeed, to be crowded to excess with young aspirants. The reason is, because we look oxy at the lower stories of the professions; the more exalted and intellectual portions of tnem do not come under our notice. When a man, therefore, tells us that there is abundance of room for more lawyers, preachers, and doctors, we are ready to as9 it as hyperbole. We find it hard to bring- our minds to beleive that a single individual can elbow his way through the hungry crowd that throngs every professional business Tfithin our acquaintance. Yet it is doubt-Jess true thai the higher grades of mental culture f6t nowhere IS too great profusion.

Wonderful Escape. During a skirniisb with the guerilla Chalmers, near Wyott, Mississippi, recently," Major Malone, of the 7ih Kansas, had a very remarkable escape. While riding along the front of the line of our skirmishers in the darkness, his horse walked into an old well, about thirty feet deep, and with his rider, disappeared in- siantjy. iue-uajor was arawa out by a line of baiters tied together, cbut the poor horse was so badly injured by ie fall that he was dead the next morning. Strange to eay, the rider only received a few hard bruices, not sufficient to disable hica even temporarily from service, and he was soon astride another animal and at the head of his men.

Rev. A. F. Osborn, chaplain of the 14th Pennsylvania cavalry, writes that he met at Beverly, Va, Miss Arnold, the only sisUr of Stonewall Jackson, of most uncompromising Union sentiments.
