Mr.. Crawford's vote for Governor was s, 436,
with AtchiSon, Douglas, Leavenworth aud JEFF
lerson Counties not returned, which added,
would probably increase his vote to about
800. At the same election the people voted
on the question Of the location Of the State
Capital, which was fixed at Topeka, that town
receiving 1921 majority over all competitors
in canvass of ia ,46l votes. Its chief COM
petitor was Lawrence, which received 1921
votes.
1t would seem perhaps not a little singular that
in any State except Kansas there should be
any excitement about an election wherein there
should be only one set of candidates. Yet We
understand that the deepest interest has been
and still is manifested about the result of this
election. 1t seems that the Constitution Of
Kansas provides for the election of Governor
and of the State officers once every two years.
The present officers were chosen two years
ago; but the State was not admitted into the
Union until nearly year thereafter The
Legislature, ut its last session, extended the
term of the Governor and other State officers
one year beyond that for which they had been
chosen BY the people. Those who took part in
this election contend that the act Of the
Legislature extending the term was against an
express provision of the State Constitution,
aud therefore void. So there will soon be two
men, Robinson, the incumbent, and Crawford,
the elect, each claiming to be the Executive
of this youthful but turbulent State; and some
of our Western exchanges seem to anticipate
a little side dish of civil war as the result Of
this conflict Of authority. But we see no rea-
sonabe grounds for such deplorable event,
since courts and not cannon are the proper
arbters in all such cases. Tie Supreme Court
Of Kansas, which is the highest Judicial au-
thority of the State, is composed of three
Judges, one of whom is understood to favor
Gov. Robinsons side of the question, and one
that Of Crawford, while the third, Mr.. Thomas
Ewing, jr., is entirely reticent, as sensible
Judge should be in reference 10 question
likely to come before hin Tor adjudication. So
the final result is left in dOsbt thus keeping
up the excitement which is all well enough
since Kansas would probably be very unhappy
if she were left for once without some salts
factory or at least plausible cause for COM
motion.

UNION PRISONERS.

The rebels claim to have 5000 prisoners,
counting not few citizens of the Southern
States. who have remained loyal to the Union,
and too many who they have picked up on our
outposts: From the beginning they have shown
much greater proficiency than we IN the art o.
capturing small picket guards, or fractions Of
them. aud it is said that their recent successes
in the business in this vicinity have not been IN
considerable.

Excellent Extract.

The following extract is from sermon
Of Rev. p Combe. The earnestness with
which Mr.. Combe argues the sinfulncss
of the great rebellion and the duty of the
government to overcome it, is another ey.
idence, if more were needed, that the con-
seryatiye men of the nation, men whose
Conservatism in Church and State never
can be doubted, are among the most SIM
cere supporters of the government, in its
efforts to protect itself from destruction.
We quote single passage:
"The law must be executed or the
Government acW dc. We are in great
danger from a false sympathy on this
point. Sympathy ceases 10 be virtue
when felt against the innocent. Mercy
is crime when it shields the impenitent.
God never forgiyes the guilty unless thew
repent. Government must initiate his
example, and punish those who persist in
disobedienee. There can be no compro-
mise with treason, therefore, without in-
curing the divine displeasure, and no
thought Of such course should be enter
tanned by any lover of his country. The
guilty leaders in this rebellion have caus-
ed untold misery to thousands of innocent
people. Gray haired men and women
are being sent to their graves destitute
and broken-hearted Thousands of our
best business men have been robbed and
ruined. Multitudes of industrious labor.
ers have been thrown out of employment,
and their families are starving. Wives
are being widowed aud parents left child
less in THEN old age. Every death of this
kind Is a murder, and the loss of proper.
ty is robbery. Yet we are exhorted to
have sympathy for the men who have
caused all this evil, who are still attempt.
ing to destroy the Government to CRAFTY
their unholy ambition and hatred to free
institutions. Away with such triAing
with truth and justice. Let us think Of
the starving thousands, who will next
winter besiege our doors for bread, which
we Will not have to give them. Let US
think Of the mother who will weep for
their sons who fell in battle by the hands
Of traitors. Let US think of these sons
and daughters Of sorrow, and if we have
sympathy to spare from our own suffer
lngs, let the innocent have it, but lcs
justice be meted out to offenders"

SUNDAY.

Col Wilcox, heretofore supposed to
have been killed, is not dead, but is a
prisoner at Richmond, where he is very
handsomely treated by his old classmates
of the West Point Academy.
Rumors are constantly given out of an
intended Immediate attack upon Wash
ington, but however anxious the traitors
may be for the job, they do not seem to
be quite ready-at any rate, they give no
sign Of an advance.
Andrew johnson, the fearless Union
Senator from Tennessee, made spirited
and patriotic speech il the Senate yester-
day on tie resolution approving the acts

Financial matters occupied the House
of Representatives yesterday, the Direct
Tax-bill more particularly. The bill was
finally referred to the Ways and Means
Committee with instructions to report on
the basis of s2O,0OO,00O direct tax, and
that such other sums as may be necessary
be raised on the personal income or wealth
of the country.
Secretary Chase has given up his house
as hospital to wounded soldiers.
Seventy thousand rations of bread were

TIE LATEST WAR NEWS,
from the New XOrk Tribune
SATURDAY.

Nothing of marked interest reaches us
from Washington. The reorganization
OF the army goes on. To replace the
three mouths regiments who leave the
capital many more are arriving, 10000
troops having reached there within the
last few days.
The Rebel pickets are now within three
miles Of Fort Corcoran.
The Rebels were apparently we'll in.
formed of all the details of our plan in
the recent forward movement.
All officers of volunteer regiments are
to be subject to examination as to their
qualifications for their business By a Mil
itary Board appointed by the Department
with the concurrence of the Commander
in Chief. Those found incompetent will
be removed and their places filed by men
who have successfully passed an exami-
nation.
From Fortress Monroe we learn that
on Wednesday Lieut.. Crosby, with 800
men and seven field pieces, went with the
propeller Fanny and six launches to Back
River, an arm of the sea about midway
between Old Point and York River. He
surprised and destroyed nine sloops and
schooners belonging to the Rebels and
brought away valuable prize, consisting
of schooner laden with provisions.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
writing from Leesburg, estimates the
rebels loss 1000 in killed and wounded
Col. Corooran is reported to be slightly
wounded, and at Manassas Junction.
Col. Lander says that he had rather
fight another battle with the troops who
fell back at Bulls Run, than with the
new levies. He values the experience of
one such battle highly
The Potter journal. [volume] (Coudersport, Pa.) 1857-1872, 1861-07-31

Col. Bakers Regiment has arrived in
Washington from Fortress Monroe 1t
fifteen hundred strong, and by special fa-
vor to its Colonel, has been organized into
three battalions, after the French system,
with a Major to each battalion. The
men were recruited in Philadelphia and
New York 1t is called California regi-
ment, because accepted as part of the
quota which that State would have fur
nished, but for her great distance from
the fighting ground. 1t is pronounced
one Of the most effective regiments here.
The Freeborn took four prizes on the
Lower Potomac on Friday. Three Of
them are under the guns of Fort Wash.
ington, and the other one is at the Navy
Yard
Gen. McClellen has been in the saddle
ten hours to-day, inspecting the lines of
the army. The troops already begin to
feel that there is General here He in
fuses into every man so much of his own
spirit as he is capable of taking in.
A gentleman who conversed with Gen,
Anderson day or two since, at Cresson,
Pa, says he is recruited in health, and
will soon be ready to assume his command
in Kentucky.
The Commissioners sent for the body
of Col. Cameron, have not been success
full. Two of them have been detained
by the Rebels, while the others report that
the Rebels say they know nothing of the
body.
They have not buried the dead, but
are making great preparations for some
new move. 1t is thought they purpose
attacking Washington, a thing very much
desired by the Generals at Washington,
as they think they could then give the
Rebels an almost final blow.
Those who have enlisted for the war
feel desirous of picking their Aints and
trying again. The infusion of new blood
into the military veins, and particularly
such blood as that of Col. Wallace's Indi-
ana Zouaves, which has already bounded
with victory, the Improvement in the mat
ter of officers, the influence and prestige
of Gen. Mcclellan, and the additions rap
idly making to the service, cannot fail
soon to more than restore the army to its
former condition. Within a month its
may be doubled, its organization
and its capacity for active op-
erations thoroughly tested. 1t is believed
that we shall before many days resume
the positions which we held before the
forward movement was inaugurated, and
Gen. McClellan's friends are confident
that within two months he will establish
his fame upon a far broader basis of
than that on which it now
rests.
Congress has passed bill confscating
used for ectionay purposes

The official count gives as the number
of Fire Zouaves lost or disabled in the
last battle 35 killed, Sc wounded, and

1t is believed by officers who prophesi-
ed defeat at Bull Run, that the next bat
tie will give us the victory.

The State Treasurer gives notice that
the bonds for the three million State loan
have been delayed in the hands of the en-
gravers much longer than he had reason
to suppose they would be, and that he has
not yet received them. They will, how
ever, be received from the engravers in a
few days, and, as soon as they can be
signed by the various officers and regis
tered, as the act directs, they will be ready
for delivery to the subscribers as early in
the coming month of August as possible.
The statement that Senator Forter, Of
Connecticut, was killed at the battle of
