the list presented. But as our olly object is
to offer reliable selection so far as it goes,
the cultivator cannot err in adopting it, He

at this time than TO urge upon all the duty
and usefulness OF stocking their premises with
the best variety OF the different kinds OF
fruit. according to he extent OF their land
aud their ability toprovide the trees. Every
one, who owns q square rod OF unoccuped

Col, Churchill's Reeiment.

A friend has kindly shown us 8 letter from this gallant officer, dated Camp Pickens, Mo, October 18th, wherein after referring to the at tacks upon him and his regiment in certain pa, pers and the injustice done him, he says:
 .'Thc world will, in due time, accord to us tic we'll earned honors that we 90 nobly and gallantIy won OF the over memorable field of Oak HiiS.- Great injustice has been doHe my regiment in the
 first instance by letter writers, but the truth in the end will prevail. Many men figured very promi- nently in that battle who do not really deserve So favorable notice. The impression went out that we lost most of our men when the enemy first open cd their fire upon cur camp, when n fact only lost two killed and about four wounded. We had been ordered to another part of the field, and it then face to face with Gen. Lyon with the regulars and the main body Of the army under his command, that we sustained our heavy loss. My regiment with the Mssourians, bore the brunt of the battle for hours before VIC received any succor Gen. McCuloch says himself that great injustice has been done my regiment in his report in bringing Us go late into action, when actually We had been in the thckest and hottest of the fight f0s hours be- fore He has promised to correct it, for he says is will ever be considered an honor to say that men fought like ChurQhill's. We are now encamped Eear Carthage, some five miles southwest The entire army is moving up from Camp Jackson-we
 
 morrow. My men are in fine spirits and eager for another contest with the federals Many of my command are down with sickness. h few weeks you may look for stirring events ltis my impress sion that within short time large battle will be fought in Western Missouri. We to not doubt the result. The forces will number twenty thou sanl on each side. From the best information that I can gain, think we will make forward move ment from this point about the 20th. The General think intends making q short, vigorous ard dcci- sivo campagu as winter is now fast approaching. The places of the gallant men who tel! near Spring feli are fast filling UP"
 Recent events show that Col. Churchill was right, and that warm times are at hand in Mis- souri, There will be desperate fighting and against heavy odds. The federals have men and munitions of war in great numbers, yet the bal. tie is not always to the strong, but to the brave and courageous. Within the next ten days the destiny of Missouri will be decided.

And here Kansas paper calls me thief, because took clothing that otherwise would have fallen into the hands of the enemy.

And let me tell you that if l wanted to make a sure lob of capturing the Old Fellow, Id take the Kansas brigade and Id do it though he had Robinson and Prince to help him. Terrific applause.

It is the jewel iii the cap of treedom.- In department with its headquarters in St. Louis, Kansas Is not as secure as she should be- So difficult Is 1t to convey intelligence across Missouri that 1t is not safe for us to receive ders from St. Louis. The true interests of Kan sas demand that she should be ia seperate de- partment, with Fot Leavenwogth as base.- Cheers. Il Is military necessity.

 For my labor, hardship and expense have not received one dime. Now don't you think Robinson and Prince could have afforded to let me serve my country for nothing?
 If the government will make a separate de- partment here, will resign ny senatorshlp and acceptt. This department ought to be com- manded by 8 Kansas man. Then we can save Kansas, restore the Cherokee country and good deal south of it.

CHIcor COUNTY, Oct. l7, 1861,

Col. R. II. JOHNSON
 Dear Sir: The Hon. Jilson P Johnson visited Lake Village in this county yesterday, with view as learn of agreeing upon some plan by which the true secession friends of the State shall not be divided in their for congressman in this dis trict. This is much to be desired, and he has eyinced highly commendabe spirit in regard to such arrangement, though I believe he did not succeed in affecting any arrangement with Judge Murray, and so probably the whole six candidates will run the race through. The people should, therefore, take tine matter in their own hands and see certainly that no man shall be elected who was not true to the State in March. For it was then that the true friends of the Stste tried in the fire and proved. Let the people reflect, how many lives might have been savei had the State dissolved her connection with the old Union in March. Had we then gone out, Missouri would have gone with us, and Illinois would have been the battle ground instead of Missouri. Let the people also remem Der and read for themselves the preamble to the ordinance of secession which we were required to adopt with the ordinance, and determine whether the gentleman who proposed that preamble, would not if occasion should offer, rather uphold and go for the principles there referred to- and against the ordinance of secession. Let them also remember that Mir. Johnson was one Of the tried and true men of the convention, and may now be safely trusted with our high interests in his hands. Let not the friends who were true in the hour of trial be set aside for any of the !" latter day saints"

 From late number of the & Louis Dem ocrat, the Lincoln organ in Missouri, which publishes it with evident approval we copy tho following report of a speech delivered at Leav- enworth, Kansas, by tho notorious and inta- nous Gen Jim Lane, the Kansas United States Senator and hrigader-general. We ask the earnest attention Of every Kentuckan who sees this paper to it. Lane very plainly avows his policy, which is to steal and turn loose all the slaves he can.

This IS perod in our history when every man is called upon to act and act cautiously. It is rot expected that every man will join the army, but those who remain at home are not to forget that they may be called upon to act for those in the held.

 Reso}rsd, By this meeting, and we believe 1t is the opinion of all the people of Jefferson county, that the present crisis in the history of our government demands that the wisest, best and most exptrienceds at, snen, thos who by their past history have shown their devotion to the great cause of southern rights and southern freedom, should be chosen as our legislators.
 Resotred, That we know of no one better qualified to fill this high position than our dis tnguished fellow citizen Hon. R. w. JOHNSON, whose long patriotic service in the old federal Congress, his early, consistent and jealous ad vocacy of southern rights, his able and patriotic warfare upon the tenets the black republican party his known integrity and fidelity, and his present setsacri6cing and patriotic devotion to the cause of our bleeding country have won the admiration not only of his fellow citizens of Arkansas but of the whole South.
 EeS3Ired, Therefore, that We recommend to our representatives the name of our fellow citi zen Hon. E. ". Johnson, as our first choice for Senator in the first Confederate Congress, and earnestly request them to vote accordngly; which on motion of Hon. D. W. Carroll, were unanimously adopted.
