Kansas Lies.-The reader who recoiiects
tho statement Of the truth concerning the
character of the armed exped ition into Kan.
sss lately stopped by Col. Cooke will compTe-
b end the mendacity of the lies coined to keep
up the Kans as affairs excitement at the North
on perusing the following brief extract from
the Kansas correspondent Of the New York
Tribune
"A wagon loaded with tho plumber of the
emigrant train adorns the camp Of the United
States troops close to this place Pres::Icnt

a few more particulars of the outrage. While
the search of the wagons, trunks and boxes
was going n:;, it was raining, and women and
children were compelled to get cut of the
wagons aud stand in the rain So repulsive
was the duty Of searching that Col. Cooke
had to detail all the men engaged for the
duty himself. Not one Of tho other officers
would have any thing to do with so disrepu-
table and lawless proceeding A letter was

opinion of the other officers, but was not

Never were band Of marauders better
treated than these same under Eldridge, Per
~ and Pomeroy, though never did men in
their situation less deserve to be kindly
treated by the authorities into whose hands
they fell. Every account of their capture
from the pens Of the officers Of the United
States army under Col. Cooke gives the lie
direct to every statement in the extract above
quoted. We had supposed that the extent to
which the Kansas correspondents Of the New
York Tribune, Times, and Evening Post
have previously carried the art Of newspaper
lying for political effect unequalled by any
similar achievement of any age or cline
Bat as exempli6ed in this last achievement it
goes very far ahead of anything else, even
from Kansas, that the world had previously

Muscoe R. II, Garnett This gentleman,
the Democratic nominee for Congress in the
Accomac District of Virginia, stands fair
chance of election, we rejoice to be able TO
say, notwithstanding the heavy majority by
more than 700. His canvass has been an ex
traordinary one indeed. Rarely have as many
80 able speeches been delivered in Congress
sional canvass in this country as in his, for bis
competitor is one of the first men intellectu.
ally among the opposition in Virginia. AS We
predicted long since, Mr.. Garnett has demon
strated in this canvass that there are in him
the elements for making one Of the first
public men of the country at this era We
regard his triumph as being worth more to tho
Democracy, North, South, East and West, un
der the circumstances, than aught else We
wot Of except the election Of buchanan and
Breckenridge.
Funny Times Ahead If the New York
Irl5une and Ifmts on one side Of Fremont 8
supporters, and the Herald on the other, show
signs Of hostility to each other already, as
they do, they are destined to exhibit wonder
full things to the reading world after Tuesday
next, when they will commence quarreling
with unexsmpIed fury over the bono they all
failed to secure--Fremont' election What
they used to say about each other ere they
united on Fremont will be but child's play to
what they will say Of each other when Ere
mout's cause no longer exists to keep them
from tearing out each others entrails.
