sas to have their Capital there on this ac-
count. We think so.
We are in favor of Lawrence because she
has stood up for the lights of Southern Kan
sas better than Topeka. Her members IN
the last Legislature voted for the intrests of
the South. while those from Topeka could
think of nothing but Manhattan, and Blue
Mont College. Lawrence is now and al
ways has been in favor of giving US soHe
of the State Institutions. We think the
State University should be located in the
Neosho Valley. Lawrence will work with
US in this. Topeka goes or at least did go
last winter. for locating everything on the
Ksw river. We ought to recolleet her at
the ballot box on the 9th of November.
Topeka claims the Capital because there
is plenty of room there for it, and the town
site is SO beautiful. Topeka was laid out
especially for the Capital. We know sever
al other towns in the same fix. She claims
it because it has been located there by all
the Constitutions. Conventions. We do Tot
know how it was with the former couven-
tons, but the circumstances. under which it
was located by the Wyandott Convention is
not very creditable to her. We recollect
that one of her newspapers. and one of her
prominet men, sold out to the Democrats
of the Convention, and the Democratic
members voted for Topeka for the Temporal
ry Capital. We all recollecsSthe sudden
conversion of c. K. Holiday and the Tope-
ka Tribune to the democracy, about the
time the convention adjourned. 1t was
corrupuy located by the last convention.
and it may have been by the former ones.
We close this article by advising every
body in this tier of counties to vote for
Lawrence. Go for your own interests.

On Saturday morning the Monticello

neck of land TO attack our troops. The reb-
ell steamers were also landing troops to CO.
operate with them. They were within easy
range, and the Monticello opened upon them
with shells with FIVE seconds fuse, two hun
dred and eighteen of which were fred from
three guns in three hours and thirty min

Too much praise cannot be accorded to
Lieut.. Brain for this brilliant achievement,

Col. Brown narrowly escaped with the

from the Confederate vessels, and troops
were landed both above and below him, yet
he managed to escape with comparatively
small loss. The particulars of his master
