Invaluable and efficient assistance proceed
to this place
On arriving here it was difficult to say
whether the forii6cations were occupied by
our cavalry on a scout from Paducah, or ay
the enemy. Every preparation was made
for opening fire and landing the infantry,
when General Sherman and Captain Phelps
with thirty soldiers, made desperate re-
connolssance with tug, steaming directly
under the water batteries Satisfied that
our own troops had possession, they landed
and assembled the summit, and together
planted the Stars and Stripes, amid the
heartiest cheers of our brave tars and
soldiers. Though rising from a sick bed to
go upon the expedition, l could not resist
landing to examine the works, which are
of immense strength, consisting of tiers
upon tiers of batteries on the river froat,
and strong parapet and ditch covered by a
thick abattis on the land side.
The Notifications appear to have been
abandoned hastily. Considerable quantity
Of ordnance and ordnance stores, a number
of anchors aud the remnant of the chain
which was stretched across the river and
a large supply of torpedoes remaining.
Dcsolation was visible everywhere. Huts.

ABILENE is beautifully situated small
stream Of clear running water. one mile north
of the Smoky Hill River. near the geographical
ntre of Dickinson county, and on the great
thoroughfare from The Missouri River to the
Gold Regions, New Mexico, and California. Il
is the only town between Junction City and
Salina, and is located midway being twenty
five miles from each. The Country around
ABILENE is the most fertile and beau ifu that
can be found in the State-its character being
al intermxture Of timber ard prairie, pecu
harry adapted to agricultural purposes. The
fertility Of the soil, the excellence Of the water
the heaithfulness Of the location, and the abur
dance of timber and building tone, arc induce
merits of no ordinary characters while liz
addition, the rich mineral resources of this
portion of the State. lhe Salt Springs. and
extensive Coal Fields west of on the Smoky
Hill, insuring tie early completion of a Rail
Road from the Missouri River, makes it one of
the best natural business points in the State.
The town was laid out six months ago, since
which time over one hundred lots have been
sold, aud it now contains n store, backsmt Ia
shop hotel. Post Office, and several families.

LocUsT GEovEs.-On the first page of to-day s
paper Will be found an interesting article on
the cultivation of trees which we would CON-
mend to the special attention of the people of
Western Kansas. The many sound and sub
stantal reasons set forth by our contributor ought
to be sufficient to induce every man to 90 to work
Immediately in the good work. which will add
so vastly TO all our comforts and all the material
interests of our section of country We cannot
add to the reasons given for thus attending to
Of the most beautiful and necessary Of nature
productions but would mention the fact that
prairie fires are almost entirely the sole cause of
the scarcity of timber and we are inclined to the
belief that the fry element which occasionally
sweeps across our prairies, carrying death and
destruction with it, must be thoroughly subdued
ere any progress can he made in their cultivation
The speediest way of obtaining timber is by
planting locust groves. The locust is thrifty
growth, and is the best of timber for rails posts
&c; and for ornamental purposes cannot be
eXcelcd. Streeter & Stricken have a supply of
seed, which We hope will be used BY our farmers

The "L. S. C''-The lawyer ISLANDER
ing Club met at Taylor's Hall last Thursday
evening, pursuant to call. 1t is with pride We
say that the Junction Bar couldn't produce
blackguard able to meet the requirements so that
Democracy, Hawkins, who patched up platform
for hi. party in this county that would keep an
army from coming up here, was to enlighten our
citizens on the questions of the day. Being eager
for information touching passing events, we at
rended. He convinced us long before he got
through that blackguardism is one Of the cardi-
nal principles Of Democracy" and that he was
a 1T representative of those principles. Surely
patriot Democrat must blush to see the prostitu-
ton to which his once great and honorei party
has been brought by the traitorous element which
has all along been sapping its life-blcod He
did not alude to the cause of the Union, or its
recent successes, except it was, with meanness
characteristic or those who are divertinc atten-
ton from the great Issue by bowling over party
lines, to point out the Democrats engaged who
thank God, are not such Democrats as he or they
would be at home back biting. The substance
of his speech was: Republicans steal,' repeated
400 times "Abolionsts," $50; Slavery" 300
more than Union man would in a year Dem
ocrats steal" once or twice Dungeons" and
the d" freedom of speech" was also harped upon :
rebels wasn't mentioned He also informed us
that Buchanan wasn't Democrat! Mr.. Haw-
kns will not be around again until next Court
which will be six months
Mr.. Perkins next spoke. He had the unblu.h-
ing inpudence to inform Hawkins that tn eft was
not bound by party lines, and irtimated that
such talk was absurd and uncalied for while
patriots should be joining hands over the on
ward progress of the Government, and sditing
the action to the words, led off in a beautiful
peroration of the recent victories, which stamped
him man Of much patriotism
