OUR INTERESTS.


Our people were entertained last Thursday
afternoon by Col. Vaughan and Capt Fairchild.
The impression they left was good. Their ar
guments in favor of the Topeka ticket were
incontrovertible; and their candor, frankness,
and the fact that they did not in single IN
stance appeal to old party preudices, are cltadels
Of strength.
Their whole appeal wa. for the welfare OF the
State. And by simple statements OF facts con-
vinced every one that to secure the advancement
Of the interests of the State, the people must
chose THOMAS CARNEY for Governor, and
A. CARTER WILDER as our Congressman.
The mental abilities and business qualities of
these two gentlemen, their independence Of
spirit, and their integrity, designate them as the
ONLY men calculated to RESCUE OUR COM
MONWEALTH FROM THE RUIN THREAT
MING US. Mr.. Carney HAS SAVED 1T thus
far-select him as Governor and he will place
it upon firm basis. Our people at this time
desire, next to an Honest Governor, PRACT1.
CAL Representative in Congress. We have toe
many interests at stake to trust to man all
theory. The practical man is WILDER.
The Topeka ticket is throughout composed
of Just such men. Our interests, and respect due
the voice of our brave boys now battling for the
Government, demand the choice Of this ticket.

Mr.. Osborn Informs us that it Is no more
trouble to raise an acre of it than an acre

will probably make at least 100 pounds Of
clear cotton-perhaps more. At the pres
eut prices he will get fifty dollars for that
raised on one-fourth of an acre. This
would make cotton the most profitable crop
that can be raised in Kansas. Of course
these high prices will not prevail when the

not better than corn, wheat or hay.

Fight At Newtonia, Mo.

On Thursday last news reached the Fort
that a fight was going on between a Federal
force of $4,000 and rebel force of 10000
or 40, 900, about 80 miles south. Among
those engaged in the reported fight were a
part of the force belonging to this Depart
ment, under Gen. Blunt. According to the
last report, our troops were holding their
own," and reinforcements were rapidly ar
irving. We do not vouch for the truth of
these reports but judging from the rapid
movements of our troops towards the South
we are inclined to think there has been a
battle below US.
LATER.-We have received additional
news this morning of the battle. 1t occur
ed near Sarcoxie. In the forenoon our
troops were obliged to fall back, but in the
afternoon rallied, and beat back the enemy
with terrible loss. We have no particulars !;
but the loss pm both sides is said to have
have been very heavy. Some Of our troops
distinguished themselves in the most signal
manner. The battle is said to have been
one of the most desperate Of the war;

The Battle at Corinth.

The forces under the command Of Gen.
Price we're repulsed with severe loss in their
attack upon Corinth on the 4th.
: After the fight at Iuka on the 18th of
September, Price withdrew under cover of
the night and retreated with all haste to
Baldwin, point on tho Mobile & Ohio L.
r., about 81 miles south of Coriuth.
There he was joined BY the forces of
Breckenridge, and moved up from Jackson,
via Meridian, on the 2lst and 22nd. In
addition he was reinforced by portion of
the exchanged prisoners, who had just been
delivered by our feet at Vicksburg.
From Baldwin Price FASTENED across the
country in northeasterly direction to Rip
ley, where he was probably joined by Van
Dorm, who lay at Holly Springs with force
estimated at from 5000 to 10000 men.
The eutire force thus massed was probably
1000 strong. From Ripley Price moved
in northeasterly direction, and attacked
Corinth on the northwest side i
An officer, just from Columbus, reports
that as the lines of the enemy advanced,
Gen. Rosoncrans directed his forces to
retire slowly but steadily. In this manner
the ranks Of the enemy were brought 90
near our earthworks, that our heavy guns
were opened upon them with terrific effect,
and their defeat was bloody and decisive.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial, from Corinth, says that Gen.
Grant recalled Rosencrans from pursuit on
the 9th. He returned on the 10th, aud
reports the enemy dispirited, demoralized
and incapable of further mischief. He had
intended following to prevent another con-
centration, believing now is the time to
destroy them.
The enemy abandoned and spiked eleven
guns, and three caissons were destroyed and
most of their ammunition and baggage
train we're captured.
Our victory is incontestibly one of the
greatest Of the war.
The enthusiasm of the army for Rosen-
Grams is boundless.
Altogether we have 1000 prisoners, in-
cluding 100 officers, besides the wounded.
About 1000 rebels were killed. Our
loss was $50 killed, and 1900 missing.

gerous. Coils. Gilbert aud Smith and

The Military Programme.

The dying days of September bring us
fresh movements in our mighty game Of
civiLwar A blow at Richmond BY way Of
James River; fire in the rear by way Of
movement to cut the railroads at Gordous-
vile and other points, on which Lee
depends for bringing up his supplies; an
attack on the remainder Of Lees array,
now left at Winchester, and to attempt
making its way back through the valley to
a safer supporting distance from Richmond; !;
that is the programme, roughly sketched,

A RETROSPECT.

OF The SMOKY HILL AND REPUBLICAN, UNION.
We would frs: return thanks to generous
public for their liberal support, and to our
contemporaries of the press Of the State for
their courtesy towards us, and many evidences
Recommendation.
In reviewing the year Just closed-which has
been our first experience in the field of jour-
nalism-we find nothing to regret. We have
ever endeavored, upon any subject that We
have seen fit to speak Of. to let our readers
know where We stood. For this reason, more
than any other, has the UNION been the longest,
lived paper of any that has attempted living
in Junction.

advent of the first sheet, the Junction Sentinel

Frontier. and its summary demise-the advent
OF the UNION upon the stage of life, with prin,
ciples as brilliant as the nocn.day sun-our
success is q striking illustration of the rapid
march Of Progress and Freedom. A history

entered the field when the harvest was ripe,
and although, by our boldness, having incurred
the bitter implacable hatred of unsound men

knowing that the UNION stands upon more
enduring basis than two thirds of the papers
of the State.

east of Bardstown, with every prospect of q
general engagement

A messenger from Perryville reports the
rebel force about $4,000. He heard q

Rumor prevailed that a severe engage

army was progressing yesterday on the
Harrodsburg road, wherein Buell. drove the
rebels toward Camp Dick Robinson.
Rebel prisoners say the rebels are making
for camp at Garryville. They were SO

The Rebel Raid in Pennsylvania.

The town of Mercersburg, Pennsylvania,
was occupied on Friday, the 10th inst, by
Stewards rebel cavalry. They took horses
and all other property they wanted. Offering
rebel scrip for it. They did no injury to
individual persons. The rebel force is es
timated at 5000. The same evening Cham
bersburg was also occupied by them. Their
advance, that entered Chambersburg. con-
sisted of one hundred cavalry and six pieces
of artillery. r
At Harrisburg the raid upon Chambers
burg is not deemed of any importance. The
disposition of the Federal troops at Cum.
berland, Chambersburg, and other points
will force the rebels to speedy return to
Virginia, by way Of Hancock, or to make q
detour above Cumberland. In either case
the movements of the rebels must be rapid
to escape.
Specials to New York papers say that
the news of the raid into Pennsylvania
created great excitement in, Washington,
and notifications were Immediately issued
for q meeting of Cabinet officers, at which
the presence of General-in.C Chief was re-
quested. What transpired. and the conclu.
sion arrived at, are of course not public,
but it is said dispatch was Immediately
sent to General Hooker, asking his pres
ence at an adjourned meeting. Rumors
more than ordinarily definite are adoat as

OF these replaces Secretary Stanton by Gen.

and Hooker to the army Of the Potomac.
