would be able to do it yet. That would
have been nothing strange. The time was.
not long ago. when traitors had to skulk
in the brush but lately. Union men
have been compelled to change places
with them. Traitor editors have been
arrested, and traitor sheets squelched

such soldiers, no Union man is safe.
However, we understood that this wal

AGRICULTURAL STATIsTICs.-The Sec
retary of the State Agricultural Society
has favored us with copy ofa blank
which he has sent to the Clerk Of each
County in the State, in sufficient quantity
to supply one to each Township Trustee,
containing a series Of questions with re-
gard to Agricultural products. to which
he desires answers to be transmitted to
him by the 6rst Of December next. Let
the Township Trustees in this County
give the subject due attention. have the
blanks filled by the required time. and
forwarded to the Secretary. If the Trus-
tees cannot conveniently attend to it, let
them engage some competent person to
do SO. The crops throughout the State
promise splendidly, and each County will
put forth her utmost endeavors to present
. creditable agricultural exhibit. Doni.
phan is one of the best agricultural Coun-
ties in the State, and If the Township
Trustees do their duty, she need not be
ashamed to compare notes with any other
County.

A BRIGHT PRoPosITloN.-We find

most foolish suggestions we have ever met
with. When the State Convention meets,
be is in favor of nominating a candidate
for Governor, and then permitting Sena'
tors Lane and Pomeroy to select q candi'
date for Congress! And pray, if the
business is to be intrusted to Lane and
Pomeroy, why not permit them to nomi'
nate Governor also, and the balance ol
the ticket? Such stuff may take in John.
son County-her people may be willing
to become tools in the hands Of Lane and
Pomeroy-but majority of the Coun'
ties will respectfully demur. We know
that Doniphan County will. She con-
siders herself competent to make her OWL
choice, and will send delegates to thu
Convention to represent her. We fea'
that Lane and Pomeroy will exercise toe
much control over tie Convention, with
ont being permitted openly to run tb'
whole machine.

The News.

The telegraph reports. for the past ten
DAYS, have been anything bat encoura-
ging. We have had q continual stream
Of stuff. something like the following !:
This town has been captured by band
Of guerrillas /; that town has been evacu-
ated by the Federal troops. and is now
occupied by the rebels; railroad bridge
has been burned a Federal regiment has
been surprised and captured /; steamer,
with Government dispatches, has been ta'
ken BY the secessionists steamboats, can
not sail up the rivers, without being Tired
upon by guerrilla bands; vessels have
run the blockade. bringing supplies o'
arms and ammunition to the rebels the
siege of vicksburg is about being aban'
doned iron clad vessels Of war, pur'
chased by the Confederates in Europe,
have run the blockade; our feet on james
River, being otherwise employed, the rebel
army is sailing about at pleasure, and
unmolested, are arranging to cut off sup
plies for the army before Richmond. .
Such is the tenor Of the news. W.
ore said to have hundreds Of war vessels
yet they do not seem to seriously inter
rupt rebel supplies from Europe. W.
are supposed to have 100000 men il
the field, but bands Of the enemy ar
committing depredations all around them
and are running riot in the very centr'
of the Federal lines. Our army has beer
so long drilled to entertain such respec
and tenderness toward the "misgnidet
Southern bretbern," that it seems as j
they were. cut ont of pure kindness o
heart. lying down and waiting for the mis-
guided brethren to come and tie them
If this calm is not the forerunner OF than

7 AMEN The soldiers have been re-
moved from this County, and Union men
will rejoice thereat. We think compa-
ny of troops is necessary in this County,
for the peace and security of the people
but when these troops are terror instead
of protection to Union citizens, it is
time to say ''leave u.s." Our people may
manage to keep treason in subsection ;
but they cannot cope with both Secesh
and "Union" troops.

A CLEAN Of Hope.

There is now prospect that our Gov
erument will commence war against the
traitors. We have had indications Of it.
Gen. Pope has issued an order. comman'
ding his army to subsist upon rebels and
make use of rebel property, wherever
they may 60. 1t is several days since
he gave this command, yet the President
has not modified it, nor recalled Pope
which is remarkably encouraging sign,
as regards tenderness for the property ol
traitors.
Gen. Halleck has just visited the army
before Richmond, and one Of his first
acts there; was to order the spades to the
rear, and the muskets to the front. That
means, spades are not trumps. In other
words, it signifies that there is to be less
throwing dirt. and more shooting. Nc
Cellan had his men forever digging.
where they were occasionally surprised
by the enemy, and pretty well killed of
by the time the guus were brought with
in shooting distance. This was called
"Nspoleouic strategy" This is encour-
aging, in the way of fighting.
By order Of the Government, several
thousand contrabands havo been brought
from the Shenandoah Valley, and put to
some useful purpose. for the benefit of the
Union. This encourages us to hope that
our soldiers are no longer to be made
bloodhounds Of, to catch and return the
slaves OF traitors.
With this handsome beginning. we have
good reason to anticipate soon having
news that is good and stirring.

Capture, EscoPe. and Aae
On Saturday last, . couple OF men
from this County went over into Nilsson
ri. to secure the arrest of the ring-Ieaders
in the Kidnapping affair in this vicinity
i. short time since. A number OF citizens
Of Holt volunteered their services to arrest
the culprits, as it was supposed it would
have . better effect than If Kansas men
should take them in Missouri; but 1t
was with some misgivings on the part Of
the Union men over there. that they un-
dertook The business on their own resPon-
sibility. However, they went into It,
and 6rst visited the residence Of Charley
Blakely, who had received warning. and
escsped TO the brush. They then went
for JEFF. Beeler. and succeeded. after q
hard race, in capturing him in his faith
er's house. They also arrested William
Banks. With their prisoners. guard
of some eight or ten men started Tor h'n'
sas : but in the Bottom. . few miles from
this place. JEFF. suddenly wheeled his
horse and bounded into the bushes-and
that was the last they saw of him. JeH'
having escsped. the party concluded they
might as we'll liberate Banks also; but
how the escape Of the former in any wise
lesseued the guilt of the latter. we have
not been able to make ont.
We have just received letter from a
Union man in Holt, who expresses the
greatest Indignation over the termination
of this affair. and says the entire Union
population feel outraged. He contends
that the escape was "ma'ie up thing
that JEFF. was permitted to ride fine
spirited horse, superior to any that wer'
ridden by his guard that they were en-
treated to tie him. to avoid against just
such an escape. but would not do it; and
that. as il by preconcerted arrangement

says that this is the opinion Of one WHIT

and that the result Of this affair will hav'
a damaging effect upon their cause. Fl
nally, he says. If Kansas men come owe

find themselves assisted to Jail, unless
