Of Jackson they escaped almost total destruction.
They were on train Of the Manassas Gap Railroad,
End going at good speed, when the train came in
collision with locomotive which was on the track.
BY this accident four of the Berdan SharpShooters
were killed, and several wounded.
When the train moved again, the engineer pro-
ceeded very cautiously, and on approaching bridge
stopped the train and went forward 10 examine the
structure. He found that the Rebels had cut every
beam in such manner that the train would be pre-
cptaed into the river if it should be run upon it.
This had probably been done by some of Asbby's
cavalry maranders. The l4tb could not proceed for
some time, until they bad repaired the bridge Thus
Jackson not only sought to vanqnish Gen. Banks,
but actually succeeded in cutting of endorsements
for him.

TIE FRONTIER "GUTTED.n

This most uncermonious method of ex-
pressing ones disapprobation was perpe-
trated in this city last Monday night by
body of persons supposed to be soldiers.
The Kansas Frontier newspaper establish
ment was broken in, and the most indis-
eliminate destruction dealt out to the con-
tents. Such action was SO unexpected, so
sudden, and so admirably arranged by those
engaged, that not citizen dared interfere
to protect the property or rights of those
at stake.
Mob law is to be at all times deprecated,
and more particularly when the rights and
property of peaceable citizens are leopard
lied, and ths freedom of the press iufringed
upon. The existence~of a mob spirit in
our midst so heart-sickens Us that we
dislike to dwell upon the subject. Its
tendency to demoralize society, and render
unfit to fulfil the duties and enjoy the yxiv-
ileges of citizenship, cannot be fully realized
by law abiding people. Language fails
US when We attempt to express our disap'
probation of such conduct.
There are legal methods Of accomplishing
redress for everything prejudicial to the
welfare. of society, and the welfare of So
ciety equally demands that s:hcy be con.
formed to. What the provocation was that
melted the mob to this iniquitous act, We
are at a loss to say; true, itspolitics were
detestable, and approximated so near treason
as to be almost one and the same thing,
vet this is no sufficient reason, Er can one
be adduced, for such wholesale destruction
of property as was witnessed on this occa'
sion. 1t is with pleasure We add that the
indignation of our citizens, which is un-
bounded and expressed as with one voice,
is not bound by party lines. All alike feel
the necessity of bringing the stcrnest retri-
button upon the first of such offenders, aud
placing the stamp Of the public disapproba-
ton upon such conduct.

New Senator from Indiana.

Governor Morton, of Indiana, has filled
the vacancy caused by the expulsion OF
the rebel Bright, by the appointment Of
Ex-Governor Joseph A. Wright. This is
th-bIow to the rebel sympa;hizers al
the North who attempted to raise the howl
that Bright was expelled to make room for
Republican successor. Governor Wright
is loyal Democrat, and stands pre-emincnt
among such names as Stanton, johnson,
Dickinson, Cochrane and Holt When bis
party were crying out against compelling
submission to the laws, he boldly advocated
" coercion" at the point Of the bayonet il
necessary.
Governor Morton has accomplished much
for the suppression of this unholy rebellion,
and has shown himself true patriot by
rising above party prcdjudices, and calling
to the aid Of the Nation man who stands
conspicuously before the people, as patriot
who has thrown aside party for the good of
the Union cause

WHERE CAN WE FIND GOOD LAND?

Along our Eastern border this question is
frequently asked by the flying emigrant
from the Slave States. To such, We say,
come at once up the Valley of the Kansas.
You can find good land almost anywhere
west of the Pottawattomie Reserve, and
on the Rail Road line west. The first
Rail Road built in the State, will be up the
Valley of the Kansas; hence land will rise
in value sooner, and be much better situated
every way, than back from such facility
of transportation.
Ga the streams, in almost every dircc-
tiop, excellent bottom land lies open for
prc-cmp'ion or private entry. In many
places. a number Of families could settle
near each other in a rich healthy bottom,
and have moderate supply of timber
from the creeks and streams. Cn the Blue
and its tributaries, there is still ample
room. Thousands may settle on the Re.
publican Valley, but small portion Of
which is as yet taken up. While the vast
valley of the Solomon, TO say nothing of a
large number of fine creeks well wooded
will sustain the population of small
State. The same is true of the Smoky
Hill and her numerous tributaries.
Do you prefer upland? 1t can be had
Of the best quality in almost any direction
on and east Of the Blue. Indeed, over all
that portion of the State lying west of the
Potlawattomie Reserve, land can be had Of
the best quality.
Do you wish good land? Come directly
to the Land Office at this place, and the
Officers will do all they can to give you
just such information as you need. Then
you can look for yourself and select the
best. There are tens of thousands of acres
of firstclass land in Western Kansas, wait
ing the touch Of intelligence and energy to
make them quite equal to any other portion
of the State.

lg- The Manhattan E.cprcss has good
deal to say about the interests Of Western
Kansas, and yet their dclectable burg posi-
lively refused to contribute a mite towards
employing an agent to 60 to Washington to
look after our Railroad interests. Every
thing not directly contributing to the inter
ests of Manhattan, and that point alone,
meets an urccasing warfare from this jour
nal. Everything must either stop at Man
haitian, or "go up the Blue" avoiding
every town on the ronte. If the contracted
ness of their soul would allow them to
believe there was salvation for any one
outside Of Manhattan the Express would
dcnoEuce Christ.

AanSaS, IcU. -ttu, ICO-.
THos. EWING, JR., Dear SIR: In com
oliance with your request, take pleasure
in submitting the following in reference to
coal and other minerals existing in the
Valley of the Smoky Hill river and its
tributaries. As near as l can judge, the
heavy deposits of coal exist about 27o or
800 miles west Of Leavenworth city. The
veins are thick, from FIVE to seven feet, and
NV judgement would be that an extravagant
use would not exhaust them for centuries to
come. have more thorough knowledge
of that portion Of Kansas, perhaps, than
any other man living in the West, having
travelled at different times in search OF coal,
iron ore, salt spring, &c. 1t is also con-
sidered By experienced miners that there
are strong indications, or, as they term IT.,
prospects Of lead ore all through that por-
ton of Kansas.
But Sir, my object at this time is to call
your attention to the coal mines, thinking
it may hereafter prove great inducemen:
for the Railroad route to the Pacific.
My experience teaches me Everything
considered) that it is the most practicable
route. The grading will be no more, and
the distance will be over one hundred miles
less than by any other route. You will
perceive that the deposit Of coal is as near
as may be half the way from Leayenworth
to the Mountains.
The abundance of water has been ques-
toned by many. but assure you that that
objection is entirely unfounded. Water
can be obtained for Rsilroad purposes even
towards the head waters Of the Smoky
Hill, BY digging from eight to twelve feet.
That, however, would not be necessary, ex-
oeptin two or three places, living water being
abundant at intervals of from seven to
fourteen miles. I think supply of coal
could easily be taken to what is known as
the Point of Rocks, some seventy miles
southeast Of Denver, and forty miles east
of Pixies Peak at that point is an mex
haustabie forest of pine.
