Honor to Whom Eonor is due.


We do not suppose our neighbors OF
the Kansas Herald would wilfully wrong
a brave man, and rob him of iaurels won
at dear cost;-but In the following report
of the battle at Hickory Point great In
Justice has been done Capt. Robertson.
and his brave compatriots by heaping the
honor of tia, fight upon other heads. We
insert the Herald's report OF the battle:
The Hickory Point Fight.

In this report Of the fight no mention Is
! made of the Atchison Guards. who bore
the brunt Of the whole battle. 1t will be
attested by every one on the ground that
the management OF the pro-ssavefy forces
was entrusted to Capt. Robertson, who
placed his own lnen IN the most DANCE
rous positions, end with them gained the
victory placed to the credit of Capt Loves
company. We do not dou bt the courage
of Capt Lowe, hut we afe creditably IN
formed that his men We're not all they
should have Leen. Vile n'the fight COM
