TREASURE TRovE.-It is said that connois-
seur has arrived in Paris from Italy with six
books of the Jerusalem Delivered, written with
Tasso's own hand; the will Of Catherine dc
Medies; original specimen Of the Divina
Commedia on which is the permit - of the
Grand Inquisitor This specimen-a precious
monument indeed-yet bears all the strokes OF
correction which " orthodoxy" inflicted upon
genius. Under the signature Of the Grand
Inquisitor may be read the words Anehe Gmas-
tdto; then there are letters of Galillo in great
number, besides a volumnous correspondence
of several Popes, especially of Julius III. Since
Italy must lose them" says the Paris cores

OYER THE RIVER.

OtEh THE hIVEhs
Over the river-the deep. dark river,
Came messenger grim,
And summoned our Alice---our gentle Alice.
To hasten and go with him
On her breast we folded her snowy hands,
And robed her in spotless white.
And he bore her over the turbid stream,
To the far-of realm of light.
Oh there's beautiful, beautiful realm,
Beyond that flowing river,
Where streams of perpetual blissfulness
Flow on, and on forever!
And Alice-oGr darling Alice has gone
To that blessed, blessed land,
While on the ve' ge of the fathomless stream
With tear blinded eyes we stand.
All, yes, we weep. though we know she is freed
From pains and SORROWS of earth;
We weep for the sweet, loved voice that we'll hear
No more at our family hearth I.
We all must cross over the mystic river
Before we enter the land
Where the fragrant flowers of Joy and love
In fadeless beauty expand
By-and-by voice will call. and hand
Will beckon us o'er the river,
In the unseen world, where partings and tears
Are known no more forever
All, a happy land is the realm Of light,
And Alice has gone before,
To welcome us after a little while,
On its ever-tranquii shore

TO THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When Freedom from her mountain hight
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there!
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrie of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white,
With streakings from the morning light
Then. from his mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land
Majestic monarch of the cloud
who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumping loud,
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strides the warrior of the storm,
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven.
Child of the sun to thee tits given
To guard the banner of the free
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbinger of victory!
Flag of the brave. thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high!
When speaks the signal-trumpets tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on;
Ere yet the life blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet-
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn,
To where thy meteor glories burn,
And as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance!
And when the cannon's mouthing loud,
Heave in wild wreath the battle -shroud,
And CORY sabres rise and fall,
Like shoots of flame on midnight pail
There shall thy victor glances glow
And covering foes shall fall beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seas on oceans wave,
Thy stars shall glitter o'er the brave,
When death careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the swelling sail,
And frightened waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reelings rack;
The dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly,
In triumph o'er the closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts only home,
By angel hands to valor given!
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before us
With freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And freedoms banner streaming DER us

The Lawrence Election Fraud.

We have received circular from the
office of the Lawrence Republican giving
statement of this outrage on the purity
of the ballot box. We find it thus con-
densed in the Conservative:
John Speer and Sydney Clark have made a
statement Of the way matters We're conducted at
the recent Infamous Lawrence election These
men were denied a hearing at the recent meeting
of the State Canvassers. Walker and Stanton
threw out the fragrant Oxford returns but Charles
Robinson refused to perform that act of justice.
"The statement of Speer and Clark--well-
known and honorable cisizens--shows that Ills
votes were cast at Lawrence that there were in
that town only 1853 male residents over twenty
one years of age, and that according to the
census, there were only 1890 inhabitants in town
one year ago. Since that time two hundred
voters have left Lawrence for the war.
"They show that the names of many persons
are on the poll books who were absent on election
day, and that the poll books indicate that the
same person, in many instances, voted several
times at that election.
These are among the more glaring frauds
Indicated by their published statement. Wehave
not time to argue the matter and do not care to.
"lt is the hasest political viIainy ever re-
corded. Charles Robinson, Governoro of the State,
sustains it, and Charles Robinson is eternallv
damned"

Changing the Names of Counties.

More or less of the time of every session
of the Legislature since 1857 has beer
taken up with bills for the change of tht
names Of the counties of the State, bu
thus far these efforts have amounted te
little. The first success of the first rebel:
was used to impose upon the counties Of
Kansas a set of names very disagreeable
to patriot-ears, but the confusion likely to
follow change has induced a patient sub
mission to what otherwise would not have
been borne at all. The present Rebellion
has brought some of the Rebels after whom
our counties were named into such promi.
nence that there is now springipg up a
very general and strong desire for change.
Upon this subject, the White Cloud Chic,
speaks thus:
ave have daily reminders of the fact
that many Of the counties in our State were
named in honor Of men who are now the
meanest and vilest traitors in the land.
Who regards it as an honor to reside in a
county named Atchison, Marshall, Davis,
Breckinridge, or even Doniphan There
are scores of glorious names in the land
those of the President, Vice President aud
Cabinet; heroes who are 6gthing the bat
ties of the Union, such as Scott, Mcclellan,
and Fremont; warriors who have died upon
the battle field, as Lyon and Baker; and
statesmen who have raised their voices to
rally the people to the defence of the good
old flag. The traitors are having their
names erased from every place of honor
that they once occupied; why not wipe the
foul blotches from the map of Kansas, and
present on Its face none but loyal names?
If the name of this county is to be
changed, We shall claim the name of LYON.
The long residence of that gentleman and
true soldier within our county, and the
felt for him by our people, to
whom he was well known, will render the
application of his name to the county mar.
ticularly acceptable to all true men. A
beautiful stream of water running through
this and portions of Morris and Dickinson
'ounties-Lyoa's Creek-already bears his
name, and it ought to be given to the whole
county. We commend the subject to the |
attention Of our Representatives.

GENERAL LANES n. LANE.

One of the very best and most sensible
things that has been done since the out
break of this rebellion, is the appointment
of General LANE, Of this STATE, to a
Generalshp, and giving him command of all
the forces in Kansas
During the past Summer, General Lane,
in the capacity of Colonel, has been at the
head of the Kansas Brigade, serving with
out pay, and has done more than any other
man in the service with double the amount
of forces, to cripple and humble the enemy,
Notwithstanding be has been followed all
the season by personal enemies, and by
pack Of sneaking traitors, who have carped
and howled at his mode of conducting the
war, aad who have labored necessarily to
destroy him with the Administration. But
their schemings and winnings have been in
vain. The people of all the loyal States
have sustained and applauded his course,
and the powers at Washington have given
it their official sanction. BY doing SO they
have given approval to the scheme of eman-
cipation which he has inaugurated-uncon-
diticnal liberation of all the slaves of rebels,
and the con6scation of all their property
a policy which will be the universal prac-
lice of all the officers serving the Union
cause in few weeks.
That the promotion of General Lane will
hurt some rebel feelings, we have no doubt;
but we advise such to possess their souls in
patience. This is nothing 10 the blue
hunder" you will have to smell soon.

Florida...Negro Colony.

A bill has been introduced into Congress
BY Gurley, of Ohio, which has for its object
the erection of Florida into a colony to
which all slaves liberated in the present
war shall be transported and located.
Florida is one of the rebel States; its
lands are to be con6scated and devoted to
this purpose. Its comparatively isolated
condition, its semi tropical climate, and
its productions, all combine to make it an
excellent temporary home for the negro,
whilst its convenience of access from all the
rebel States will render the transportation
Of contrabands to it easy and cheap. 1t
will answer for this purpose very much
better than South Carolina.

Coaaa3ra.ion Of Charleston.

FROM very Teagre accounts from Charles
ton, we learn that that pes.ilent city was
nearly destroyed by fire on or about the
18th inst. Whether the fire was the work
of slave or not it is impossible for out
siders to ascertain; but it appears pretty
certain that an insurrection amono the
slaves in and about the city had occurred.
The destruction Of property is estimated
at several millions of dollars. The Offices
Of both the Mercury and Courier are said
to be destroyed. Here is tie last intelli.
gence from there:
Norfolk and Richmond papers give full
particulars of the extensive conAagration at
Charleston. The fire broke out on the
Ilth inst, in sash and blind factory.
extending to large machine shop.
Before midnight the fire had assumed an
appalling magnitude. All the buildings on
Hing street, from Clifford nearly to Broad,
were destroyed before 3 o'clock.
Soon after St. Andrews Hall took fire.
and subsequently The Catholic Cathedral,
the spire Of which, falling shortly after S
o'clock, the lire made clean sweep through
the city, making its track from East Bay
to King street.
A message was sent to the Confederate
Congress, on Friday, by President Davis.
in relation to the confagration at Charles
ton, recommending an appropriation in aid
Of the sufferers.
Congress appropriated $3.50, 900 as an
advance on account of the claims of the
Carolina upon the Confederate States.

of emigrant wagons reached St. Louis on
Saturday morning, composed of about fifty
families from Ozark county, Missouri, Who
have been driven from their homes by

on reaching Market street, between Fourth
and Fifth, and the levee, the train halted.
and large crowd of people gathered about.
A collection Of fifty dollars was taken up
for the benefit Of the suffering refugees.
Their destination was Illinois. Thew rem
resent that they have been stripped Of
every thing Of any value which they for.

state that one thousand more families in

Judge Douglas On the Rebellion,

Here is an extract from the last speech
but one ever made by Judge Douglas, on
the shareholders Rebellion. The speech
was made before the Illinois Legislature,
after the fall of Sumter, and after the rebels
had succeeded in destroying all railroad,
telegraphic and water communication with
Washington City. We commend it to the
notice of such rebels as believe Judge
Douglas justified this infamous rebellion:
For the first time since the adoption of
the Federal Constitution, wide spread con-
spiracy exists to destroy the best govern
ment the sun of heaven ever shed its rays
upon. Hostile armies are now marching
upon the Federal Capitol, with the view Of
planting revolutionary flag upon its dome /;
seizing the national archives; taking cap
tive the President elected by the votes Of
the people, and holding him in the hands of
secessionlsts and disunionists. A war of
and determination is being
waged against the government established
by our fathers. j
The simple question presented to US is,
whether we will wait for the enemy to car
~ out his boasts of making war upon our
soil, or whether We shall rush as one man
70 the defence Of the Government and its
Capitol, and defend it from the hands of all
who have threatened to destroy
t. Already the piratical flag has been un-
urled against the commerce Of the United
States. Letters of marque have been is
ued, appealing to the pirates Of the world
o assemble under that flag, and commit
Expectations on the commerce carried on
'nder the stars and stripes.
What is the alleged cause for this inva-
ION OF the rights and authority Of the
United States The cause alleged Is that
Re institutions Of the Southern States are
lot safe under the Federal Government.-i
The Smoky Hill and Republican union. [volume] (Junction City, Kan.) 1861-1864, 1861-12-26

What evidence has been presented that they
are insecure appeal to every man with
in the sound of my voice, to tell me at
what period, from the time that Washing
ton was inaugurated down to the present
hour, have the rights of the Southern
States-the rights of slaveholders-been
more secure than they are at this moment !
When, in the whole history of this govern
ment have they stood on so firm basis !!
For the FIRST time in the history of this Re-
public, there is no restriction by act of Con-
gress upon the institution of slavery any
where within the limits of the United
States. Then, it cannot be the territorial
question that has given them cause for
rebellion. When was the fugitive slave
law executed with more fidelity than since
the Inauguration of the present incumbent
of the Presidential Office Let the people
of Chicago speak and tell us when were the
laws of the land executed with as much
6rmness and fidelity, so far as the fugitive
slaves are concerned, as they are now
Can any man tell me of any one act of ag-
gression that has been committed or at
tempted since the last Presidential election,
that jus,i6es this violent disruption Of the
Federal Union?
Now, permit NE to say to the assembled
Representatives and Senators Of our beloved
State, composed of men Of both political
parties, in my opinion it is your duty to lay
aside, for the time being, your party creeds
and party platforms; to dispense with your
party organizations aud partisan appeals !;
to forget that you we're ever divided, until
you have rescued the government and the
country from their assailants."
