Expelled Secessionists are beginning to
sneak back into Kansas. and those who
remained here. cowed into silence. are
gaining courage to snarl. There is a
way by which you may know them.
Throw up treason to them, and they will
prste about the Democratic party. They
will tell you that Democrats are in the
army lighting for the Union, and that tbs
President has had to call to his aid a
Democratic Secretary of War. And yet,
had these fellows been allowed to carry
out their true sentiments, all those Demo
Gratis who are in the army, would have
been assassinated long ago, and there
would have been no Government for
Democrats to assist the President in car
rying on. Another cry of these traitors
is "Abolitionist |" While pretending to
be for the Union. they stigmatize those
who are lighting the battles and sustain
ing the Government, as "Abolitionists." /"
Ere long, if their necks are not wrung,
we may expect TO see the whole herd of
banished traitors crawling out of their
dark, Shiny holes, like snakes on warm
mornig. and hiss out at those who are
fighting the battles Of the country, "Ab-
olitionists" Yea. if they are encourag-
ed. ere many months we shall 6nd them
advocating their favorite system of mob
bing. taring and feathering the defenders
Of the Union, for being Abolitionists /!
Just such a party is now growing up
in Kansas. and is every day becoming
boider, because. simply out of contempt
Tor the poor, pusillanimous traitors, loyal
people permit them to exist. Their chief
organ is called the Leavenworth Inquirer.
The Atchison Union is trying hard to
keep up with it. The Junction CITY
Frontier was of the 'tsame run of shad;"
but, poor thing. it "waxed out" yery
suddenly, and its two co-workers are sad
ly lamenting its untimely end. The In
quirer has for one of its publishers. an
who urged the mobbing and hanging of
Free State men. in the dark days of Kan
sas. and who. but year ago. supported a
city ticket in Atchisou. composed princi-
pally Of men who are now in the Secesh
army. Another of the publishers, after
"winking ont" at Lecompton. with the
Buchanan Dynasty. published secession
paper at Atchison. less than q year ago, |
but was compelled to suspend. in conse-
qucnce of all its supporters being banish-
ed for treason. The editor is man who
was gotten up expressly for traitor, and
be fills the bill exactly.
Such are the creatures who are sniyel-
ling about Democrats fighting for the
country. and assisting to carry on the
and who are continually
'narling out the Ito them) opprobrious
spithet of "Abotitionist !' at patriotic
men. Mark them; for the time is COM
ing when you will be compelled to do
something more than mark!

4 InTEI rIxo ScESE.-A beautiful scene
was witnessed in Oregon, several days
ago. A couple of Jim Fosters niggers
vamosed TO Kansas. taking his span Of
mules as far as the river, where they turn
ed them loose. and some person took the
animals back to Foster. The affair rais-
ed his ire, and he determined immediate
ly to sell his remaining human chattel. q
woman almost white. who had for some
years been held by him IS sort ofservant-
mistress. He bad her brought forth and
securely bound. notwithstanding her
pleadings not to be sold; or. If sold, not
to be manacled. as she would go quietly
without-the lovely Sam. Word all the
while standing by with FIRE shovel ele-
waited. threatening to break her head II
she did hot keep still ! Having bound
her. she was tossed into wagon. togeth-
er with several other slaves in like pre-

farmer would pack apples or sweet pota-
toes. but in this instance to prevent any
wandering "Abolitionist" from getting .

Small Business.

We are informed that. on Tuesday. .
messenger went from Highland to Iowa
Point. to elsctioneer for Gen. Bayless for
Senator. and the argument used. was
that DR.. Shreve was in favor of Robin
son that wc had recommended him Tor
the Senate, and we were Robinson
man but that Gen. Bayless was oppo-
sed to Robinson. and was the proper man
to support.
Now, we cannot believe that Gen.
Bayless authorized the use of such an ar
gument in his favor. The Senator cleo
ted on Tuesday. was elected for the pur-
pose Of sitting as a Judge or Juryman
in an impeachment case. Think of a
juryman seeking the place upon the
ground that lie was pedged against one
of the parties to be tried, before hearing
the evidence or argument
As to our having nominated DR..
Shreve. we have only this to say: His
name was suggested to us by gentleman
from Elwood. and another from Geary
City, (both Of them Lane men. upon
the same day. They thought he was an
excellent man for the place. and we agreed
with them thereupon. we proposed his
name, through our columns. Gen. Bay
less is also a good lpan but we did not
know that he was a candidate, until
the tickets for DR.. Shreve were prin-
ted and partly distributed.
With regard to DR.. Shreve's being o
Robinson man. he is Just about as much
Of an one as We are, and as we have ex-
pressed ourself perhaps City times-that
is. he is heartily sick Of tho Robinson
and Lane issue being thrust into every
matter of interest to the State, and hopes
the day will soon come, when the true
interests of the State will be looked to,
regardless of Robinson and Lanes per-
sonal quarrels. If elected, he will vote
upon the impeachment matter according
to his best judgment. formed from the
evidence. regardless of personal favor.
The whine that we are Robinson
man. is not a new one. Our readers
know just how far it is true. When tho
Governor does wrong, We condemn BIN !;
but we are not one of those who make
it business to abuse him Just because he
is Robinson, or because Jim Lane, says
he must be abused /: or who denounce ev-
cry man as rascal who has any dealings
with or friendship for the Governor.
This thing of assuming that we are in the
interest Of Robinson. and then denouncing
US for it, is becoming favorite pastime
in certain quarters. This is to be the
and principal hobby of the ma
chine about to be started in Troy by Ger.
tain officials. n-officials. played-out pol
icians, and Lane suckers. AS we expect
'oon to give them a belly full on the SUBJ
ect. we drop it for the present.

ing.
Col. Beauford. commanding the troops
here, sent 20 men of his regiment out on
a reconnoitering expedition. They pro-
ceedsd on the Missouri shore Eve miles
down the river. and arrested two or three
prominent individuals. among them . Mr..
Babb. large land holder.
These persons state that 1000 negroes
were employed at the works on the island,
and on the Kentucky shore. and IS per
sons. among them two Lieutenants. had
been killed by one shell; and also forty
negroes. That the upper rebel work was
abondonei, but the others were being
rapidly strengthened. They affirmed the
enemy to be Is. 600 strong. and that they
had moved the encampment completely
out Of range.
A party Of their pickets boasted. the
other night. that our army and navy
would not take No. 10. without loss Of
two-thirds of their number; and not then
unless we get largely reinforced.
The rebels are confident of success, and
say they have good road to Ironton
and other points. by which they could es-
cape at pleasure. should they wish to.
They have a sufficiency of provisions.
The accommodating party saw three
rebel steamers loaded with troops. watch
ing the shore to prevent, ifpossible, any
communication from here.
The total number oftransports held by
the enemy. is H.. Their floating battery
is not disabled. as reported.
Two or three balloon ascensions have
been made by Capt. Steiner. but the at
mosphere is too heavy for favorable OBJ
servstiOns.
No more rebel re-inforcements have ar
rived from Memphis. aud the lstely call
ell out militia at least the few who have
responded are disbanding. refusing to 60
to war with pixies, the only weapon furu-
ished them.
One of the partly finished gunboafs
building at Memphis, was set on FIRE. the
other night. but the flames were extin-
guished before much damage was done.
From all means of information, there
seems no doubt that the main strength OF
the rebels is being concentrated at Cor
inth' Mississippi.
