that the United States Protective Tariff
of 1857 has been adopted, and that q
positive condemnation of the institution
of slavery, through the slave trade, has
been inserted into the Constitution itself.
Neither Of these did we expect. We did
not suppose that any Southern Govern

would sanction the policy of the Protec-
tive Tariffs. The tariff of 1857 is odious
and oppressive in its discrimina tions.--

Esq, a gentleman we'll known in this
city, on the State of affairs in kansas,
and contradietins the late famine circu-
lar by telegraph, of Thaddeus Hyatt and
Pomeroy, will command public attention.
We feel bound to say that We believe
Mr.. Mcdowell incapable of falsifying
this matter, and that his statements so
far as. he has knowledge, are reliable
In confirmation of Mr.. McDowell's s
statement, we, have before, us a copy OF
the Leavenworth G5nscrratite of the
14th, Republican paper, which pro-
nounces Thaddeus Hyatt's declaration
in a letter to the New York Tribune,
that ':the whole population arc fast sink
ing into utter helplessness, an out
rageous falsehood. The Conservative
says: sa,-
"Leavenworth, Doniphan, Atchison,
Wyandot and Douglas eounties-the
most populous in the State, and contain
ing more than forty thousand people
have raised sufficient crops to sustain
their population. Twenty thousand
people have left Kansas since July,
1860. Ifevery other man, woman and
child in Kansas were an abiect pauper,
they would not fill Hyatt's doleful bill. y
The fact that twenty thousand people
bave~lcft Kansas, (Mr. Mcdowell says
tentliousahd J would Indicate a terrible
degree of destitution and suffering; and
there are certainly many left who need
assistance. But this docs not justify
the stories Of almost universal famine
circulated by telegraph by the Relief
Committee. CGncianati Ctmm1Tcial

suit of the presidential election is known. As
the governor of this state, have the right
to ask you to suspend operations for a while.
If Mr.. Lincoln is elected, Mississippi will re-
sist, and demand of YOU all the assistance
possible. You have now nearly 10000 of
the first men in the South united. Do not
carry off these men till you see whether you
are needed at home. If Mr.. Lincoln is not
elected You may rely on this state for an ap-
preparation of five hundred thousand dollars.
If he is elected you must take the field for u.s.
No odds, general. how much YOU may be
abused, take the field for us and trust TO Mis-
sissippi to protect you. VIII you obey me

The Springfield Fight a Victory.

The details OF the battle of Saturday at
Springfield. Mo. show substantial Union
victory against great odds. Out army occu-
pied the enemy's camp, burned their tents
and baggage. and then retired to avoid the
possibility of being cut of. The enemy are
>4id to have suffered great loss especially
among tie Louisiana and Tennessee troops.
The fight on our side was mostly made BY the
artillery. The retirement Of General Siegel
upon Ro!ia is regarded as another master
stroke OF genera!ship. Springfield is situated
IN almost a level country and affords no op-
pprtun.ty fur defence By small force agains,
an overW he,miugly large one The great dis
parity between the number of the Union and
the rebel forces in southwestern Missouri oc-
casioncd alpreicnsons that the former might
BE- surrounded. but the success of the gallant
dash made by Gems. Lyon and Siegel, enabled
then. 10 withdraw their forces in order from
their exposed position. 1t is said by those

opportunity to attack and defeat them.

THE LATE GENERAL LYoN.-This gallan,
and accomplished officer, whose death will be
universally deplored by all lovers of the Tn
ion, was the son of a substantial farmer OF
Ashford, Connecticut, and the descendent, pa
ternally and materially, Of families who were
distinguished for intellect and integrity of
character. His mother was of the knowlton
family, which produced two of the distn-
guished officers of the Rcvolution-one, the
famous Colonel Knowlton who, as Major,
commanded the Connecticut boys at the Old
Rail Fence, on the left wing of the American
army, at Bunker's Hill, and was afterwads
killed at the battle of Harlem Iishts, New
York.
General Lyon was educated at the United
States Military Academy at West Point,
where he graduated with distinction in 1911,
and has remained in the army ever since, hav-
ing risen to the rank of Captain in the Sec
ond Infantry; and by the recent choice of the
Missouri volunteers became their Brigadier
General. He was in the prime Of life as a
military commander, being torty-two years of
age. He has had great experience in his
proft ssion, especially in the rousher duties,
which fitted him SO especially for his recent
position.
His service has been principally upon the
frontier,-in the Florida. Texas, California
Oregon, Kansas and other Indian and border
wars. lie was with General SCOTS division
