The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1862-06-14

We regret to see an attempt on the par
of some of the papers of the State, particu'
larly one at the Capital called the STATE
Record, to cast odium upon the name Of
the Hon. N. S. Adams, who has been men,
toned in connection with the Governor s
Office for the next term, by trying to make
him out one of Robinson's hackers and
sympathisers. In the estimation of that
sheet, which is controlled by low prejudice,
no man ought to be elected Governor unless
be has been tool for either Lane or Rob-
inson. That's the issue on which they want
to conduct the next State canvass. They
can not get their puny minds above the
" Lane and Robinson fight" as they call it.
The Record intinates that the associations
of Mr.. Adams have been bad. and that the
people will not brook a continuance thro'
another term of the policy that appears to
have actuated the present Executive" Now
all these thrusts and innuendoes of that I'M
principled sheet, aimed at Mr.. Adams, will
fall to the ground when it is known that
little Georgy Crawford, candidate for Gov
ernor, owns the Record, body, soul and
breeches, and either wrote or dictated the
article in question. The Record mentions
several papers which have declared for Mr..
Adams, and among them this one, and says
they have all been ardent supporters of
Robinson's administration, which is base
misrepresentation. The Olathe MSrror has
always been one of Lanes supporters, while
The NEWS has never upheld Robinson.
We know some of Lanes warmest friends
among the prominent men of the State who
favor Mr. Adams's nomination for Governor.
and the insinuations of the Topeka paper
that that gentleman and his friends are in
sympathy with the Governor or in the least
degree responsible for his late dishonest
acts, is the coolest piece of impudence we
have seen.
One of the principal reasons We have for
favoring Mr.. Adams is that he has never
been mixed up in the Lane and Robinson
broil, and could not be used as tool for
any clique. The people want such man.
They are heartily tired Of this Lane and
Robinson fight. If the latter gentleman
should show his head this fall they will
bury him SO deep that he will never be heard
of again. We hope General Lane will not
sanction the efforts of such wbiffets as the
Record man to drag this +" old sore !" before
the people again this fall.

Rebels Deserving.

General Halleck moved his headquarters

merly occupied by Gen. Bragg. General
Thomas occupies the house formerly occu-

The enemy are reported 10000 strong

At last accounts, General Pope's advance
was this side of Twenty Mile creek, and the
enemy's rear guard was on the south side,
still retreating.
An English officer who deserted says high
Confederate officers told him that they left
Corinth 10000 strong, but when they
arrived at Bonneville, $4,000 had deserted,

The Battle Near Richmond.

w AsHINGTON, j une ..
A special to the N. Y. Times says: We
are still without any official record of the
killed and wounded at the battle near Rich
mond. Crowds of the relatives and friends
of those engaged are arriving on every train,
anxious to obtain correct information, but
SO far they have come in vain. The answer
to the many inquiries at the War Office is
that no authentic list of the causalties has
been received. It is probable that the Sec
retary of War will provide that in future the
surgeons of regiments shall report through
the Brigade and Division commanders as
soon as possible after a battle, accurate
lists of the killed, wounded and missing.

Below We give another rice-wster dis
charge from the same source, all about
TIE News, all of which every reader will
bear as out in denouncing as lies from be-

Here we must apologize for alluding to
this miserable paper again. as everybody
who knows it need not be informed of its
untruthful, slandering, vile and venal char
per in the State, but it may chance to fall
into the hands of strangers, and this is our
excuse for denying its last instahment of
falsehoods. Here is the extract:
''Our friend of the Emporia News begins
TO show encouraging signs of contrition
for the part he has heretofore borne in the
'.ticket- making" business. In his last is

usual avocation of small politicians, and
says he believes the people will know who

The italics are our own, and in those few
words lies the point of the joke. Taken in
connection with the fact that the NesUs la
bored more energetically and efficiently, and
is more directly responsible, than any other
paper in the State, for the nomination of
the present State officers, and especially that
of Charles Robinson, this item from the
News becomes instructive, and affords
ground for hope that its editor has seen the
error of his way, and is disposed to turn
from it. Nothing but the deepest contri-
ton, however, can efface the stain of hav-
ing been so largely instrumental in imposing
these corrupt men upon the State, resulting
as it has in bringing the State to the verge
of bankruptcy. and casting an odium upon
our escutcheon which nothing but prompt
and condign punishment can efface."
Now we need but to turn to our files, to
prove to the satisfaction of all that THE
