IMPORTANT NEWS.

Our telegraplic disp1tches renew the old
story in I'd % Gen. Fremont. This time
he is certain to be supercedel, and there is no
douJt that General Wool will be ordered
" est. While we can have no objection to
the latter officer, We must again protest
against the removal of Fremont, until more
substantial charges are preferred than have
yet come to light.
Beyond the runors of this approaching
chang, the telegraph brings nothing of a
startling character from either department
composing the seat of war. While it is to
te much regretted that General Anderson's
health prsclules him from active service in
The field, We rejoice that he too is not to be
rcno:ei for extravaganza or ineliicincy, but
but will cooperate with Maj. Gen. Sher-
mar, gruff but gallant old soldier, in the
Department Of Kentucky. Although no
stronger indications Of stirring events are
evident in this mornings dispatches, if We
were called upon to compile an almanac for
the coming week, We should say "about
this time look out for some heavy cannona-
ding, and hard fight" We are confident
We should come as near the truth as the

THE CAPITAL AGAIN.

In speaking of the Capital location last
week, we referred to the fact that the only
objection urged against permanent loca-
tion at Topeka, at the present time, was,
that the people were unprepared to GO into
the expense of erecting Capita. buildings
We then suggested that public halls and
rooms, suitable for Legislative and State
purposes, could be procured at Topeka at
reasonable rates, until the State would be in
better financial condition, than now, to
erect such buildings.
There was one matter in this connection
that we omitted to mention in that article,
but which is of the very highest importance
to our tax paying citizens throughout the
State.
The Congress of the United States grant
ell, when this State was admitted, ten Sec
tions of land for the erection of Capital
buildings. 1t is, therefore, of the utmost
importance, that permanent location Of the
Capital should be made as speedily as pos
sibIe, and at such place as to remain per-
manent, so that this fue donation of the
government will not be squandered upon a
temporary location, and the people then be
obliged to erect public buildings, at the per-
manent Capital, out of their own pockets.
This seems to US q most important view
of the subject, aad the more we reflect up
on it, the more we are satisfied, that the
best thing our people can do is to locate the
Capitol this fall at Topeka. 1t is as far
west as We can expect to get it now, and as
far east as the Eastern portion of the State
would insist upon its going. The popula-
ton being nearly equally divided by the
kaw river-one-half north, the other south
and situated as it is upon and contiguous
to the great thoroughfares of the State, we
can see no reasonable objection, from all
these considerations, to an immediate loca-
ton at Topeka.

humanity's, waste our time and energies in
rhe discussion of these foolish questions,
while the red and lurid flames of this devas.
ta.ing rebellion are encircling the very
dome Of our national superstructure itself.
Nor is it a question as to who is at the
head Of the government, or what party or
gan;zation put him or them there. Enough
for US to know that the "powers that be-
are exerting evey means at their disposal
for the suppression of this rebellion. The
question is not " shall we sustain Abe Lin
coin as Republican stump speaker before
the people of the country" but "shall We
sustain aud support the executive authority
of the United States-the Government OF
the United States, in maintaining the Con-
stitution, and in the enforcement Of the
laws" To this latter proposition every
good Union man throughout our country
can respond with cheerful alacrity, and in
doing SO, he is but placing the man before
The demagogue-the patriot before the par
tizan.
We have thought it proper at the present
time to throw out the foregoing views, from
the fact that there are many, all ovel the
country, and particularly in this portion.
who still keep adhering to old hide bound
party organization, regardless of the great
fact that the jeopardy Of the country is such
at the present time, that all loyal citizen;
are enjoined most earnestly, to forgo party
as such, and unite under the banner Of the
| Union.
There can be but one distinct issue
that of the preservation Of the Union ant
those who are not in favor of its preserya
ton must take the other side and be regard
ed as the enemies of the Union, as the la
mented Douglas declared they were either
"patriots or traitors"
Then let our loyal citizens, of whatever
hitherto party name, in Davis county, unite
with the Union organization which has jus
been effected here, and thereby assist il
supporting the great movement going on al
over the country in favor of the Constitu
ton and the Union. Thus we will contrib
ute our mite towards swelling the mighty
current which is rapidly sweeping on to en-
gulph and destroy the enemies of oul
country.

FROM LEXINGTON.

Lieut.. Col Thatcher, CT Col. Peabody s.
regiment, arrived at Jefferson City on Sun
day. He reports the rebels able to get
three l2-pound cannon per week from the
arsenal at Lexington, and possessed of
large quantities of ammunition of every va
riety, which had been buried at that place
three months ago. He states the rebel
force at 10000 or $4,000, with the proba-
bility of its being raised to $4,000 in two
or three weeks
The troops Of Green, Rains and Parsons,
are represented as mere mob, but Harris
soldiers, 1000 in number, are we'll disciplin-
ed. Marshall is called coward.
S. F. Johnston, Esq, of Leavenworth,
was at Wellington, Mo.,-within twelve
miles of LexiDgton-on Monday. He re-
ports reliable information that Mccullough
has joined Price. The general belief was
that the rebel army numbered 10000, and
could have more men from the neighbor-
hood if needed. The whole force was near
Lexington. There seems to be chance for
Fremont to distinguish himself.

TAE PROOE-THE LIE RE
TURNED.

Our cotemporary, the Frontier, don't
fancy being called Traitor, and de6es US
to furnish one iota of evidence to SUBJ
stantiate the fact" We wish in our heart
that no such evidence existed, as we would
willingly agree with our neighbor when he
asserts that not traitor lives In our coun.
ty. To commence, we would ask the con-
ductors Of that paper question-Do you
know what constitutes treason! If we are
correctly informed, any person who fur
nishes /" aid and comfort" to the enemies of
our Government are traitors. We believe
{. aid and comfort" does not consist exclu.
siyely in the giving Of powder, arms, cloth
ing, o. provisions to our enemies, but
everything which has tendency to pro-
mote the object for which the enemies of
our country are working-the overthrow Of
the Governments treason.
What were the New York journals sup.
pressed for? We believe their crime con-
sisted in furnishing comfort to the rebels
through their columns; and what do We
find in the Kansas Frontier of April Goth,
1861, the only ancient copy of that sheet
that We are at present possessed of. If the
annexed paragraph, taken from the leading
editorial of that sheet of the above date, is
not calculated to comfort rebels, then We
can't see what it is fit for. The article is
headed, "What is the Mo:ive?" and starts
out with the astounding assertion that the
Republican party hate slavery, and asks:
"Then why not let the States which
tolerate it 90 in peace? The reason is
obvious. Nj. Lincoln and party is octu-
atel by an iynoLle feeling Of rerenge. To
crafty this feeling THEY HAVE COM
MENCED A WAR, the terrible effects Of
which no man can forsee. THEY HAVE
BEGUN a WAR which extinguishes what
was left of traternal feeling between the
two sections; which makes mortal foes of
those who were heretofore friends and
neighbors which stops the wheels of our
progress as a nation, blights every branch
of industry, and turns the energies of the
people from peaceful avocations to the
dreadful work of mutual destruction. 4
terriJIe responsibility rests on Mr. Lincoln
and the Republican porty--a responsibility
the more dreadful FROM THE IGNOBLE
MOTIVES WHICH HAVE IMPELLED
THEM TO COMMENCE THIS PATRI-
| CIDAL STRIFE"
If this is not sufficient to convince the
most incredulous of the truthfulness OF
our assertion that the editor of the Frontier
has breathed other thoughts "than those Of
liberty and Union" we will open I" mask
ed battery" next week that we have in
| reserve.

NEITHER TO THE RIGHT
HAND NOR TO THE LEFT.'

Such vas the noble and patriotic declara
tion of the great statesman, Daniel S. Dick
inson, before the monster meeting at the
Cooper Institute, in New York. That
III the discussion of this great question OF
the Union, and the suppression of this re
bellion, he would turn aside 'neither to the
right hand, nor to the lcft'-would suffer
himself to be diverted by no side issues
from the grand and overwhelming question
before him.
This is, unquestionably, the only true po-
sition to be taken by every Union loving cit
izen of our land, upon the great struggle
which is now shaking the Republic to its
centre; and all questions of mere partizan
consideration, sink into insigni6cance be-
fore it.
The question is not to day, shall the Re-
publican party continue to be dominant, or
shall the Democratic party again have
sway; or is this party right and that party
wrong; but rather the great and only
question is, shall We have country at all,
in which party organization of any char
acter whatever can exist. 1t strikes US
that man who keeps higgling for party
at a time like this, is the most un2atriotic of
all men. He is following phantom which
will lead him to destruction Nor is it
time now to stop and quibble as to what
party is responsible for the present awful
and alarming condition of the country
What good does it do for the Democrats to
charge it upon the Republicans, or rice
cersa.
It will be time enough to settle all these
bitter and vexed questions when the other
great question of the integrity Of the Un-
ion, shall have been decided. The house is
on 6re-the great temple Of our liberties ia
in flames. Let US, then, like wise men,
rush to the rescue, and stay the conaagra-
tion; and then, if needs be, criminate and
re-criminate as to which party was the incen-
diary. But let US not, for Gods sake and

A FEMALE RECRUITING OFFlcER.-A
female, supposed to be slightly insane, has
been walking on the streets of Buffalo,
New York, for three or four weeks past,
soliciting signatures from young men to
list of mythical recruits for an imaginary
regiment, oficered by fabulous personages,
and stationed heaven knows where. Day
after day she may be seen on her tireiess
tramp, as earnest in her labors for the
cause of the Union, as those whose efforts,
not half so hard, have been thrice as fruit
full.
