TFs FuTrRE.-The Louisville Courier. of
June 22, has an editorial on the Past an.i The
uture, which concludes 80 toilows:
As tar as the South is concerned, the result
is not 4 matter of doobt. Sooner or later tn.
Independence Of .hs Confederate ST.. Goo will 20

through which they will have pas sed :. the
Sou thern people will more strictly than ever
guard the sacred and iDalieuahle rights for
which they have twice taken up arms. By
September, at tnrthest. we hare tbs best
reason to believe that England ami France
will recognize theiI indspendenco, and If ne
cessary by force open their ports for the ex.
port of their principal products. hnd we
nave an abiding faith that, dsspite the os ten
tatious promises aid Indecent boastinss Of
what they arc going to do by the North, the
Confederate States will have achieved the
object for which they kavo taken the field, by
the ith of July, 1889.
Tae prospects for the North are mora
gi0orIy. Their boasted wealth Ia really
source OF weakness for railroad and bank
and State stock, manufacturing estebEsh-
ments, shipping, and all saeh Investments,
thoagh very Profitable in peaceful and pros.

present ana OF such does NorJhern wealth

hogs, and horses ii. ahnndance; but ALI these
things have heen sold to tine South fer South.

FROM KANSAS CITY.

kansas CITY, July 20.
By q special messenger just arrived, We
learn the following: At 20 minutes past
tWoo' clock on the 18th, Major Van Horns
eommane Of q. s. Reserve Home Guards Of
this place, numbering about 10 men, was
attacked by 500 rebels, under Captain Dun
can, lhree miles north Of Harrisonville.
The fight lasted four hours, during which
time continual firing was kept up on both
sides. AT twenty minutes past six the rebels
withdrew, leaving the United States troops
victorious. @
The less Of the rebels was IA killed, in
including two officers, and several wounded; /;
while that Of the United States force was
only one killed. t
At twelve o'clock the Q. s. troops contin-
ued their march, crossing Grand River, but
they we're compelled to leave three Of their
baggage wagons on the bank Of the river
in consequence Of high water.
Mai. Van Horn left this city on the morn
Of the nth for the purpose Of reinforcing
Maj. Dean, now holding West Point No,
with asHiall force, having routed 100 of the
rebels at that place. .i,rq n
Major Van Horns command was attack
cd while ct dinner. They planted thsiI
flagstaff at two o'oloed, never giving way
an inch nor removing the flag till after thS
rebels withdrew.
The enemy attempted to flank them on
the left with q company Of cavalry, but
were completely routed By detailed fOrct
of tEenty-three men under Capt. Butler.

The Battle Yield.


During yesterdays Sabbath hours, when
throughout Ohio the ohurch-gOing bells
we're calling the multitudes to the services
Of the sanctuary, there was being fought
upon Virginia soil one Of the fsreest bat
ties that Amerisa has ever yel seen, and
when the round full moon rose last night,
it cast its aoOd Of light upon cold and
CHASTITY forms which had seen their last
Sabbath sun. The details Of this battle
viii be most horrible and sickening. The
valOr and daring Of the opposing forces
can never be questioned, and The hOrrid
butohery Of var had there full sway. The
men Of the New York 69lh, which Is COM
posed entirely Of Irishmen. are said to have
stripped 10 the skin, leaving only their
pants upon them, and then 10 have rushed
with the impetuOsity Of tigers into the hot
test Of the hght Think Of i'll One thou
sand men, their red skins streaming with
perspiration, covered with blood and dust
and smoke, fighting hand to hand with no
thought Of quarter until their lives we're
torn out Of them BY lead or steel. Where
now are the boasts of the SOutherners that
the Yankees are cOEsrds and dare not
fght2
Boldly, nObly, have our men plunged into
the thiOkest Of the deadly fight and driven
twice their number Of rebels, foot by foot,
before them. And as We write they are
lfghting still, and the shrieks and groans
Of the wounded and the numbering roar Of
the artillery are mingled with the shouts
lOf victory and the battle cries Of the un-
Idaunted Yankees.

SECOND EDITION.

The following is an account of the begin
ming Of the panic which resulted 50 disasss
trously to our troops: All our operations
went swimmingly, and Col. Alexander was
about erecting pontoon aoross Bull Run,
when terrific CONSERVATION broke out
among the teamsters, who had incsutiously
advanced immediately after the body of the
army and lined the Wrrrenton road. Their
CONSERVATION was shared in by numerous
civilians, who were on the grounds. 2
Anderson and his whole army were in
retreat. For time q perfect panic prevail
ed, which communieatedit itself to the vicinity
of Centreville, and every available convey
ance was seized upon.
Several similar alarms had occurred on
previous occasions caused BY a change Of
portion of our batteries, and it was most
probable that the alarm was owing to the
same fact. 7
