A SELL.-About two o'clock on Tuesday
last, messenger came into town and an
nounced that company from Council Grove
had arrived. Captain Mitchell, from Linn
county, Captain Cloud, from Emporia, and
Captain Swift, of Lawrence, ordered out
their respective companies to escort the new
corners into town. About a mile out they
came in sight of their new companions in
arms. Our readers must imagine what was
the cbagrin of the Stubs, when they rec
ognized about fifty of the Lawrence boys,
wearing for their equpagS Shaker bQnpets
The Linn and Emporia boys did not recog-
nize the sell, and hurrahed and cheered lusti
ly till the ridiculous farce became apparent
Everybody seemed to enjoy the fun that fol-
Republican.
The Republican don't care about telling
what the fun that followed" was. We
understand that Capt. Cloud concluded he
would carry the joke out, and after march
ing the Lawrence jokers up in front OF
the Eldridge House, he ordered the Empo-
ria Guards to charge bayonet, which they
did in manner that quite surprised the
Shaker bonnet company, making divers
holes in their legs, coats, ETC., and otherwise
treating them rather roughly. We under
stand that the joke came very near being a
dry one with some of the Lawrence fellows.

The Lawrence Journal discousses thus
tenderly and lovely on the departure of the
Lawrence military companies for Camp
Lincoln, at Leavenworth. After speaking
of parting with friends, mothers, etc., he
says:
.But the saddeet scene-that parting
wherein lie buried the fondest dreams OF
future wears; the air-built castles which
sanguine love has built upon the fancled
firm foundation of promise, swept away;
where all the affection of young and healthy
love is firmly set; the parting of young low
ers is the very essence of grief and misery.
Oh, that this might be spared them.
b The editor of the Journal is evidently
Young man of vivid imagination and warm
affections-in other words, he is in love.
We would respectfully suggest to some
of the Lawrence bellies to have mercy on
him. 1t is pity 20 have such affections
wasted on-cemmon printing paper. The
senior of the Journal had better act wisely
and follow the example we set TOR HIM
few mouths ago-and we assure him that
paragraphs about ''young lovers, 'tondest
dreams,'' " air castles" and 81 sich, will
forever afterwards be scarce in the Journal.

PIE and military, and iremen from various

The Burlington Register pitches into
Senator Bancroft very savasely for some
thing which that gentleman is reported to
have said in speech made in the Senate, a
few days since. We are not "posted" as
to the case in question, and we like to see
Prouty pitching in - he does it ''hand-
some,'' and seems to enjoy it in fact, we
think that he is rather suited to the bust
ness. and like to see every man stick to his
trade. But cur friendly advice to Prouty
would be to ''cleau outs the Coffey county
stables before he ventures away from home.
II reports be true, one or two of the Coffey
county members of the Legislature are not
so free from just suspicion as Ce ,ar would
have had his wife TO be.
Mr.. Bancroft neither asks nor desires a
defense at our hands. He is responsible to
his constituents for his acts. And while
We have quite as many differences with him
in regard to matters of policy, affecting bis
action as legislator. as any other of his
constituents can have, we are free to say
that we believe all his official acts to be
prompted by an honest desire to be faithful
TO the best interests of his constituents. II
the result shall prove the fact to be other
wise. we shall not shield Mr.. Bancroft any
more than We do any body else. Mr.. B.
has deserved reputation for ability as a
legislator. If that ability is wrongly ex-
erted, we. in common with his constituents
generally, will, of course. condemn him
for it, whenever it comes within our prov
ince so to do-that is, whenever re find
out the wrong.

Gen. Butler has done good thing.
Some slaves found refuge in his camp. The
owner went after them. Butler told him
that slaves were " contraband goods" he
had put them to work, and the master
could not have them. The Government
sustains this decision. II will have an i'm
mense influence on the war.
