? HoME TRAiToas.-In times like these,
the FIRST duty of every true man should
be to look to home traitors. They. are
to be found in every community. We
have them here. They are edging around
wherever they see two persons talking
together-catching items to report to
their accompliccs. They are posted in
everything You say and do. and it all
goes to headquarters. Indiviuals in this
town and vicinity have been heard to say.
in case the town were attacked by seces.
sionists, what property must be destroy.
ed. what persons must be marked, and
what ones must be despatched FIRST. They
have been tolerated until they are grow
ing bold. and openly gloat over every
murder Of Union man that comes to
their knowledge. If men want to enter.
tain opinions. it is their right to do SO
but persons who talk and threaten in the
manner alluded to. are dangerous eharsc-
ters in loyal community. Those about
here are known and marked and upon
the 6rst sign of an attack or outbreak,
they will 90 under. No one has beer
molested here for entertaining secession
sentiments /: but when men go so far ..
to threaten the lives and property of on,
citizens. they offer themselves as targets,
whenever shooting time comes.

my company with Lieut.. Confield's COM
pany to the right, where we remained until
two regiments Of the enemy's cavalry
advanced upon our right. Only three or
four Of my company were armed with
carbines; these engaged the enemy, but
finding such fearful odds against US. and
the artillery wheeling to FIRE upon us. we
were compelled to withdraw. 1 then re.
treated to the left, where I found the hos

HORSE THEvEs.-A short time since,
a number of ponies were stolen from the
Delaware Indians, in this State. They
were taken across the river at this place,
into Missouri. Last week, an officer and
posse came in pursuit Of the thieves, and
found men and ponies in Holt County, a
few miles above here. Four men were
arrested, but two of them were released
on the opposite bank Of the river. The
ponies and the remaining two prisoners
were taken through here, on Saturday
evening, on their way back to the scene
of depradations. After dark, an armed
crowd came from Missouri. in pursuit Of
the party. They claimed that the per.
sons were arrested without any legal pro-
cess, that there was no proof of the hor.
ses being the stolen ones, and no evidence
that the prisoners were the thieves and
that they understood the men were to be
given up to the Indians, to be punished
by them. Therefore, they were bound
to follow. and rescue the prisoners or have
fair play guaranteed them. They overlook
the party near Highland, where they be.
came satisfied of the probable guilt oil
the prisoners, and received assurances that
they should receive strictly legal trial and
punishment; whereupon they returned to
their home, on Sunday.

A MONTH OF VIcroRrEs.-September
is month famous for American victo-
ries, while it has brought but few defeats
to the banner. During the Revolution.
September witnessed the victory at Still
water, the arrest of Andre. the capture Of
the Scraps by Paul Jones. and the bat
tie Of Eutaw Springs, which was almost
as good as q victory. During the last
war with England. September beheld the
battles of Lake Erie. Lake Champlain,
Plattsburg. Lake Ontario. Baltimore. sor-
tie from Fort Erie, and the Enterprise
captured the Boxer. During the Mexi-
can War. the battles Of Monterey. Moli-
nos del Rsy. Chapultcpec. and the assault
upon the Belen, occurred in September.
The reader need not be astonished, if the
present month Of September should show
more brilliant achievements of American
arms than any that occurred in preceding
wsrs-on land and on sea. and in bring
ing traitors and spies to punishment.
The sigus are auspicious.

This is a term peculiar to Kansas, and
means sort of guerrilla warfare, carried
on by parties of men on their own hook,
who generally make sure they strike in
the right place. then come with swoop
quick and sudden. wreaking such venge-
ance upon wrong-doers as is not likely
soon to be forgotten. This system OF
warfare has been carried on almost ex-
clusively in Southern Kansas, and has
been rendered absolutely necessary. in
very many instances. by the lawless pre-
datory ircursions of Missourians into that
region. The public has not hitherto
looked very favorably upon this descrip-
ton of warfare-and it is true that it was
sometimes carried to extremes. and ont
RACES were committed under it-but it
was forced upon our people, and those
engaged in it have ever been judged
harshly and unjustly at the bar of public
opinion. However, change seems to
be rapidly coming over the public mind,
and "Jayhswking" is growing immense.
ly popular. Our State has been left al
most wholly unprotected and farmers.
who chose to remain on and cultivate
their farms, were compelled to form or.
CARNATIONS to protect themselves. Law
less bands of Missourians made raids into
Kansas. stealing horses, destroying crops,
burning houses, driving off stock. and
committing murders. The settlers would
rapidly come together and pursue the de.
predators, and terrible would be their
vengeance upon those whom they could
overhaul. There was no dilly-dallying,
squeanishness and hesitancy with them
they left marks for remembrance for 9
long time to come.
This system of warfare is more neces.
sary now than ever before. Depreda.
tions are constantly being committed in
Kansas scarcely day passes. but We
hear Of horses being stolen and other out
RACES committed in all parts of the State
At present. there is no protection against
it and there will be but little. when thu
regiment of Home Guards is organized
After everything else has been tried. il
will be found that "Jayhawking" is tn,
only system that can reach the Villains
who are causing all these troubles-th'
sufferers must svepgs their own wrongs
and the punishment must be swift, sure
and terrible. Government has conferred
high military honors upon Montgomery
and Jennison, the "Jayhawk" Chiefs
which is an evidence that their fghtin1
character is appreciated. The more sucl
stern and earnest men who are permitted
to control military operations. and tn
fewer sentimentalists, the surer will b.
the doom of the traitors.

that one of the best Touring mills in the

be reached without ferriage and other ex-
penses. The mill grinds for one-ffth

seph wholesale prices. Persons going to

are furnished with good vacant house
