COLLECTING DEBr.-Some four year.
ago. man in this County did soms hard
work for q neighboring farmer. in th.
way Of breaking a quantity of prairie
amounting to considerable sum. Wher
the laborer came for his hire, the farme,
coolly told him that. if be wanted his pay
he must sue for it. Then it was found
that the fellows property was in such q
shape that the law could not reach it
So the debt remained, until few weeks
since; when.the laborer. having enlisted.
was on his way with bis company to St.
Joseph. In the vicinity of Wolf River,
who should they meet but the rascally
farmer on horseback (by the way. a
low, snesking secessionist.) He had just
been to st. Joseph and recovered the
horse from the Jayhawkers. by swearing
that he was . good Union man. Here
was chance not to be lost. The labor
ing man stepped up to him. saying :
I" See here. old fellow. you have rode
about enough; guess you'd better get
of, and let me ride awhile" The fellow
was not slow to obey. and the other
mounted, remarking: "This just squares
Us on that prairie breaking account !"
That was the last the fellow saw of his
horse. and he trudged his way home on
foot, with the melancholy knowledge that
one debt was paid!

| BunR OAk.-The pSopls of Burr Oak
Township complained bitterly because
their candidate for the Legislature, last
Fall, was defeated by q few persons in
White Cloud voting for his opponent up
on grounds Of personal friendship. To
atone for this, the White Cloud delega-
tion, in the late Convention, voted and
worked for that same candidates. nomi-
nation for County Clerk. and succeeded.
when their preference was for smother in
dividusl. whom they knew to be as we'll
qualified for the Office as any man in the
County. Yet we learn that Burr Oak
gave the boiling candidate for Sheriff
some 80 majority over a White Cloud
man. who was the regular nominee-that
being the only Township that gave the
bolter . majority. This was not done BY
. few men scratching the ticket. but ap-
pears to have been . systematic thing.
The boiling candidate for Recorder came
within a few votes Of carrying the Town
ship. Hereafter, We trust we shall hear
no more complaints from Burr Oak on
the boiling question.

November l.-The efforts 10 induce General
Fremont 70 remain with the army to act in the
coming battle in subordinate capacity to Gen.
Hunter have failed: Gen. Hunter arrived dur
ing last night, and Gen. Fremont and most Of
his staff departed to-day.
Gen. Hunter had an enterviev ofan hour and
a half with Gen. Fremont this morning, in
which the latter gave the former all his intelli-
gence in regard to the position Of the enemy,
&C., and laid before him the plan Of battle de-
cided upon BY himself and the Commanders of
Divisions. Their Council of War was held last
evening.
The Reconnaissance in force determined on
yesterday was postponed just on the eve of its
departure, by order of Gen. Fremont.
A scout who arrived last night reports the
enemy moving slowly in this direction. Nc
Cullough has the advance, and on Friday was
ten miles this side of Cassville, so that by TO-
day they must be very near US. A battle is I'M
minent at every hour. The enemy greatly ex-
ceeds our forces. but no fears are felt for the
result. Our army is all here now excepting
Gen. Hunters division.
The Body Guard and Holman's sharp shoot
ers were the only troops that left with General
Fremont. General Asboth accompanied the
General. and acting Brigadier General Carr has
