George II. Robb, in behalf of the ladies of
this vicinity. presented the Wolf River Union
Guards with the Flag of the United States Of
America, in remarks as follows:
"Fello,o Citizens: have the honor of pre-
senting to you, in behalf of the loyal and patri-
otic ladies of this vicinity, this beautiful flag.
1t is the flag Of our common country. and in it
you behold the emblem of our nationality; and
may say our religion? and hope, if you are
called upon to maintain the honor of this flag
and our glorious country, that you will rally
forth under its broad folds, with the assurance
Of free and happy Government, a pure and
perfect Christianity, and that you will suppl
cate the God of Hosts to protect that banner of
our beloved native land in the coming contest.
You owe the highest esteem to those loyal and
patriotic ladies for this beautiful flag. Long
may they be remembered, and forever may that
flag wave over free people!" (Cheers.)
Reply was made, in behalf of the Company,
in eloquent and patriotic language, by Captain
Robertson, which was responded to by cheers
from every loyal heart.
Ordered that the proceedings of this meeting
be published in the White Cloud Chief.

No-PARrY.-There is . great disposi-
ton manifested throughout the country.
to cast party politics aside in the elec-
tions which are going of or approaching.
Yet We observe, whenever Republican
is chosen to Office. the Democratic pa
pers raise the howl that this is apretty
specimen of Republican sincerity. and
an example of no-psrtyism. Their idea
of throwing politics aside. is to elect
none but Democrats to Office. We have
never taken any stock in these no-party
maneuvres. As far Is supporting and
fighting for the Union is concerned, it is
the duty of all men to do it. irrespective
of party. and regardless Of what party
controls the Government on the other
hand. it is the duty Of Government to
ignore party in eonferring military honors'
But when it comes to choosing civil Off
GERS, we say, let every man stand to his
principles. The Democracy did not ig-
more party during the Mexican War
on the contrary, they made it q party
hobby from its commencement until years
after its close. sa

pointment of our chivalric friends, am not
prepared to say.
At place called Muddy, Gan appropriate
spot for such fellows to live,) an invitation was
sent to me to come over and be hung, as they
would insure me an easy death, for they had
the rope well creased. regretted exceeding
ly that circumstances repugnant to my feelings
compelled me to decline the kind request Of
this philanthropic and law-abiding people; and
l am very sorry that they we're thus disappoint-
ed in their "labor of love-" No other moles-
tation have l received. Everywhere, even in
Albany, was treated, with these exceptions,
gentlemanly.
QUERY 9. Do you apprehend any molesta-
toni No, do not-at least, not at present.
If the Militia Bill is enforced, look out for an
old. fashioned tear.up. If not attempted to be
enforced, apprehend no trouble. OF course,
when the line is fairly drawn, and hostilities
fairly commenced, am inclined to the opinion
that bullets are better than Bibles in such cases
But it is no use to borrow trouble; we will wait
till it comes, and try and be ready to meet it.
QurRY 3. Do you know Of any Union men
that have been driven out of Gentry County,
I know of many that have left, but l do not
know of any that were driven or ordered away
by any responsible authority. l can see no
sense nor reason, nothing but cowardice, in
their going away. They ought to have remain
ed. The truth is, some persons would give no.
tice, by slipping paper, signed by no name'
under the doors Of mems houses, ordering them
to leave against such time; and such would
take "big scare" and "skoot" We can af-
ford to lose all such. The cause Of the Union
men leaving, appears to be general things ra-
ther than particulars, such as petty insults re-
they killed secessionist, the law would hang
them, but if secessionist killed them, the
Governor pardons him; the fear of the seces-
sion of the State, the Military Bill, &c. But
they did not leave because they were in debt.
This is an outrageous lie. Some may have
done so, but very few. But l believe in the
interior of the State many have had to leave,
and when the secession power is strong enough
in Gentry, have no doubt they will drive away
the Union men. But this will not hnppen be-
fore the year A. D. 1861.
trust that the sapient gas, bags in the upper
part of the Bottom will feel better, now they
know I've not "gone up the spout" As l
hear they were grieved that they had not the
honor of causing my exit. would inform them
the chance is still open before them. But re-
member every club has two ends.
trust this will be satisfactory all round.

CooL.-The traitor Beauregard has
issued high-pressure PROCLAMATION to
the Virginians, urging them to turn out
and fight the Government troops, and
painting appalling pictures of ravished
wives and sisters if the Northern hordes
arc not driven back. At the same
time. Beauregard has sent his wife
to New York for safety. Women and
children are not proper subjects to make
war upon but if the Southern traitors
engage in a war upon the North, and
foully slander her citizens in order to ex-
cite the worst passions of the Southasn
people against them, they ought to have
their families sent home to them, and
compelled to keep them there. While
waging a war against the North for the
perpetuation and extension of slavery.
it is rather an extensive stretch of impu
dence to ask the Northern people to pro-
tect their families from the brutal subjects
of that slavery.

The Governor Of Missouri having de-
clared war against the Government Of the
United States, and called for so 900 States
troops to be used in its overthrow, war is
virtually declared against the State of
Kansas also. The relations Of Kansas to
the Federal Government and State of Mis-
souri, are such that all must, sooner or later,
be involved in the contest. Should the
Gov. Of Missouri succeed against the U.
s. forces, Kansas cannot hope to escape
invasion. Indeed it is to be feared that
the invasion of this State will he one OF
the first acts of the rebels. In view OF
these facts, BY virtue of the authority vest
ell in me by the Constitution Of the State,
and in compliance with the desire Of the
com manding officer of the United States
forces within the State, ], as Governor
of K Kansas, hereby call upon all good citi-
zens to organize themselves into military
companies of not less than S3. nor more
than IO1 men, rank and file, and hold
themselves in readiness to enter upon &C.,
tive service at call. One or more regi-
ments of Infantry .:ill be taken into the
u. S. service for three months Immediate
.lv, and all commanders Of companies
with full ranks, will report their muster
roll to Ajutant General LYMAN ALLEN, at
Lawrence, without delay. The companies
will be accepted in their order as fled,
and no company will be ordered in toren-
devious until full, and then, by special
order. Company and Regimental officers
will be elected in accordadce with to pro-
visions of the MALTA law of the State.
Done at the Executive Office. State of
Kansas, this 18th day of June. A. D.
