THE SllERIFEALTY.

Our voters cannot be too careful in the
selection of the Sheriff for the NEXT two
years, The most important office we have
to fill is this, and We should gil # with
man who is known to be loyal to this GOV.
ernment The militia law of our STATE
makes it the Sheriff's duty to call ont tbs
militia of county in case of rio. or ipva.
sion, and also gives the Sheriff command Of
the force. We know not how soon the oc.
casion will occur that will demand the ex.
ercise of this important duty; and what
loyal man in this county would wish to
place himself under the leadership of man
who is strongly suspected of sympathy with
our enemies. In the Union candidate Mr..
Orr, We have gentleman whose loyalty is
unquestioned, and who is, in every sense,
qualified to discharge the duties of the of.
fee. Let the voters remember this next
Tuesday.

A SHARP DODGE.

We have been shown ticket from Wa.
baunsee county, head "Union Nomina-
tions," on which were the names of the
three Democratic nominees for Represe.a-
tiyes-Messrs. Montague, Robinson, and
Freeman. They dare not go into a loyal
county, as Wabaunsee is, with their traitor
Gus title, Democratic Ticket-or more pro-
perly "Semi Ticket''-bus omitted
the word Democratic The Democrats
of Davis county must be proud of their
nominees-men who are ashamed TO ex-
hibit the flag under which they sail,
ashamed to have it known that they are
associated with reasonable organization.
ASHAMED OF DEMOCRACY. But
after venting their spleen upon the Union
cause and Union candidates all through
Davis county, they lower their piratical
name Democratic and sail into a loyal
Union county under the Union colors.
What. unparalleled knavery. that such
men should aspire to make laws to govern
a free people. Out upon them. They are
even too base for Democrats.

TEE CAPITAL.

We deem it unnecessary to say more
upon the subject of locating our State
Capital. Every voter in Western Kansas
must be convinced that the permanent
location of the seat Of government this fall
is measure of great importance to our
State, and also that its location at Topeka
is to be of great benefit to our own imme.
date section. We have no interest with
the other competing point, Lawrence; all
concede this, and we gain nothing by trying
to prevent its being located The idea that
in time We can bring it nearer home, if we
permit it to float about for Eve or ten years
longer. is erroneous, and if acted upon will
prove disastrous in a great degree to West
ern Kansas. The youth of twenty will
find his head well frosted, we predict, be-
fore the capital viii come west of Topeka.
But many years hence, when our large
and fertile valleys are thickly dotted over
with substantial farms, when our villages
have become populous Bites, when we have
wealth, population, and power, then we
can talk of having the Capital of Kansas
in Davis County. No person would wish
to see this more than ourself, and we intend
to exert our feeble energies and influence
in the attainment of all the material ele-
ments which shall make Western Kansas a
prosperous and powerful community. We
believe the location of the Capital at To
peka is a step in the right direction.

them refated before has face, and in the
presence of his Democratic friends. 1t
would occupy whole paper to give de-
tailed account of the affair. Every one
who was present, # guided by truth, will
agree with US when we say that the erich
developments" were complete failure.
After Mr.. Mckinley had finished, Messrs.
Pierce and Orr took occasion to clear up
satisfactorily to all right thinking men the
reflections which the speaker had cast upon
them; as to ourself, his charges amounted
to nothing, as was proven upon the spot.
Mr.. Geery came next, but We were unable
to comprehend his remarks, no doubt owing
to our stupidity, but it appears that the
majority of the audience were afflicted in
like manner. The readers of the Frontier
will be astonished to learn that that sheet
is controlled by remarkable man. His
knowledge of history surpasses all under
standing, and sometimes history itself. We
remember, in substance, portion of Geery's s
brilliant effusion, which we publish. He
said: I" Our forefathers, who laid the palla-
dunn of our liberties, founded this Govern
ment and framed our Constitution BY COM
promise, and are re wiser than they? [no
stree, hey! we ain't,] and when John j.
Crittenden presented those resolutions in
Congress, why were they nc. accepted ?
Because the Republicans did not want to
compromise, and save the people from a
long and bloody war;" A Voice-How
about the compromise in 1854, Geery !?
Geery-I 'aint talkin to you. 1 don't want
to be interrupted. I'm talking to Mr..
Chairman, and these gentlemen (pointing
to few of the unterrifeO. Eoice-But
am one of the audience. Geery-I most
damnably doubt it. (Laughter.)
Soon after the above dialogue We left.
We had heard enough. What further
occurred we know not, nor do We care. We
had partaken freely Of erich develop
ments," but we could not go Geery's conf

OUR SeeSTB tAsEEEV BORDER
GARDNER SACKED.

Every day the necessity becomes more
apparent for sending troops along the line
ing parties are almost constantly scouting
along the border, sacking and burning our
infant towns, and committing depredatious
among the inhabitants. The Kansas Brig
ade is not now in the State, and a force
should be sent without delay to repel any
advances the rebels may make in Southern
Kansas. Our latest advices are that the
town of Gardner, in johnson county has
been sacked. \ special messenger to Law
renee says the town was attacked by about
one hundred rebels, and fully $4,000
worth of goods taken. 1t was feared that
Olathe would meet with the same fate

WHY rs 1T?

Why is it that prominent members of
the so-called Democratic party of Davis
county are so we'll informed of the move
ments of the rebels in Missouri? and why
is it that they have in their possession full
official reports, from the rebel side, Of every
battle that has been fought in Missouri,
before even the news reaches Leavenworth! !!
Where do they get them? We know of
but one way-from the rebel headquarters
They do not come by our eastern mail, but
via Council Grove; and until lately the
mail carrier on that route was strongly
imbued with treason, and has intimated to
citizens of this county that We had "soME
srAUNcH REBELS AMONG gs."
Again we caution our loyal people to be
vigilant. If we have active traitors in our
midst, they may do US great amount Of
injury, unless narrowly watched. There is
good reason to believe that Fort Riley is
looked upon by the traitor, General Rains,
with wishful eye, for winter quarters, and
he will leave no means untried to secure its
occupation and should he do so, who can
depict the misery it would entail upon our
whole country? Desolation aud complete
ruin invariably follow in the wake of the
rebel hordes, while robbery, rapine, and
murder mark the spot that treason touches.
Let rebel army but get foothold here,
and we can bid long farewell to peace,
and the bright hopes of prosperous future.
Our country would be completely devas-
tated, and our present happy homes the
abode Of wretchedness, poverty, and base
degradation.

Further From Missouri,
ST. LOUIS. Oct. %.

st. LOUIS, Oct. 20.
A gentleman from Gen. Siegers advance
post reports that Price had left Cedar coun-
ty and was retiring toward Greenfield, Dade
county. Sigels advance guard was near
Bolivar on Tuesday evening, and his main
body at Quincy. Lanes force was at Osce-
ola and Sturgis' command one days march
behind. Sigel was about as far south as
Price but some twenty five miles east evi-
denily aiming for Springfield to cut off his
retreat south, while Lane was only two
days march north of him.
Gen. Fremont and staff were at Pomme
de Terre river en- route for Quincy Gems
Hunter and McKinstry divisions were mov-
ing toward Warsaw. Pope was marching
on Leesville via Sedalia, and Asbboth was
at Warsaw.
The bridge at Warsaw was completed, and
the troops were to cross Immediately. The
general belief among the officers was that
Price could not get away but would be
compelled to fight or surrender.

WESTERN VIRGINIA,

The campaign in Western Virginia ap-
pears to be closed. The rebels have aban-
doned the fond scheme of driving the "in
vaders" from the "sacred SOIL" and our
boys in that region will have nothing to do
this winter but to guard the grim old noun
tains and keep the causeways clear The
only substantial, undated success of our
arms has been in Western Virginia The
most sklilful maneuvres and the most dar-
ing assaults have failed to break the lines
of our gallant army in the mountains of
Virginia.
The rebel Lee has withdrawn his forces.
and is now supposed to be in command of
Cumberland Gap, Kentucky, having super
seded Zollicoffer in that command.
The war is thus removed to Kentucky.
and is assuming alarming proportions in
the I" dark and bloody ground"

TEE GRAND ElZZLE.

Pursuant to publication in the Frontier,
VIM. H. Mckinley, Esq, the renowned
annihilator of Union candidates, exposer of
Convention frauds, public enlghtener of
how "thc thing is and was done," the
crusher, the forlorn hope, the last resort
the saviour of busted up Democracy, the
funniest man in Davis county, the story
teller, in fact and in short the man whom
the Frontier advertised would make "some
RICH DEVELOPMENTS" he of the ubiqui-
tous political character--old Mckinley,
addressed portion Of the citizens Of june
ton and vicinity last Saturday night. The
Democrats, so called, turned out we'll, some
fifteen being present; and we noticed a
sprinkling of good sound Union men, who
attended for want of something profitable
to occupy their time: and to hear the I" rich
developments" The speakers particular
attention was given to Messrs. Orr, Pierce,
and our unworthy self. Whether the pres
ence of the above trio interfered materially
with the "rich developments" or not we
will not say, but certain it is that poor
Mes only development consisted in the
expose of his own imbecility and puerile
insignificance.
Me- commenced: "Mr. Chairman and
Gentlemen (cheers)-I appear before you
this evening (hearty laughter,) pursuant to
a notice published in the Frontier, through
the kindness of Mr.. Geery, Gust here some
one blowed their nose,) to expose what l
call base fraud upon the people of Davis
county, (vociferous applause and cries of

But We have not the space, the time, nor
the inclination to report Mes "rich devel-
opments." Suffice it that be occupied over
two hours, in which time he brought
dozen charges against Messrs. Pierce, Orr,

of the most flimsy character, not one of them
could he sustain, but was compelled to
undergo the humiliating ordeal Of having

GEERY A TURNCOAT.

The Carrollton Press, published in Greene
county, Illinois, gives the editor of the
Frontier, now occupying the position of
candidate for Sheriff on the Democratic
ticket, the following bit of puff. The
mantle Of Democracy, it appear, has lately
fallen on his shoulders.
"'THE KANSAS FRONTIER have
received several numbers of a paper bearing
the above title, hailing from Junction City,
Kansas, OF which Henry T. Geery, formerly
OF this county, is one of the editors. Those
VINO knew the sentiments of our friend Geery
while residing in this locality, will be sur
prised to hear that the Frontier is intensely
Democratic. sSech is life.'"

S0JsNT-EYsi ANSWERED.

We give publicity to letter received
from Mr. Il. D. MoJley We do not be-
iieve "Squint eye" intended to misropre-
sent Mr.. Mobley; but as it is generally
understood that the destination Of the gen
tlemen named in the letter was somewhere
in the Southern Confederacy, it certainly is
just reflection upon any mans loyalty
who was in any way aiding them. We
believe Mr. Mobley does not deny being an
accessory in their departure.

THE ORDE.7L OF

Tuesday. November 5, 1861.

Before another issue of our paper the
Election Day-the day which will test the
patriotism of the people of Davis County
will have come and gone. The Election
for State and County officers viii be held
on Tuesday next, the 9th day of November
We have in former numbers of our paper
given some of the reasons which should
stimulate every true patriot to be at the
polls on that day, exer,ing himself to secure
the success of the Union Ticket. Those
reasons are the highest and holiest that can
be assigned in support of any temporal or
earthly government. No man who truly
loves the Government formed by Washing
ton and his Revolutionary compeers. and
who would boldly proclaim that devotion
in this the darkest hour of its existence,
will absent himself from the polls, or fail
to vote the ticket which will signify his
hearty Endorsement of the Government, and
his hatred of the treason and the traitors
now seeking Its overthrow.
REMEMBER VOTERS.

ism, earnestly devoted to the maintenance

E Statistics gathered for the Govern
ment show that the foreign demand for
breadstuffs from this country will largely
exceed the demand for any previous year
1t is proven that We must receive for cereals
this year more money from Europe than
heretofore we have received for both food
and cotton. There will hence probably be
an excess of specie importations which will
make this country the great depository of
the precious metals. This will assuredly
take place if bu. the present rate of impor-
tations, now on the actual decrease, does not

Editor Of tnion-Some one, who signs

small party of secessonists left the vicinity
of Fort Riley about two weeks ago for Ar

Vicinity,) being belated, engaged con-
veyancc near the Fort and driver to over-
haul the precious load, that they might
journey together, and wants the facts in my

or any where else. Doctor Madison left
Fort Riley, accompanied by William
Cuddy. Their destination | know not.
Both were gentlemen Of high standing, and
well known in this vicinity. They left Fort
Riley about nine o'clock, A. d., knowingly
to Major Vessel, the commanding officer.

you are after. l being candidate for
