Last week we carelessly published COM
munication entitled, "Do Kansas Soldiers
receive as much pay as those from other
States?" in which the following unjust and
malicious language occurs:
''On the contrary, in many counties
Lyon county not excepted-the soldiers are
loved to death by the jayhawking merchants,
who manage, by some slippery Eel process,
to get the last dollar from them; and when
they have succeeded, the soldier is kicked
out of the way, to "root hog, or die. -
Treated as brute "
The communication was handed to us by
a friend, and being in a great hurry at the
time, we only looked at the heading, and
supposing it to be an article urgingthe peo-
pie to subscribe to the bounty fund being
raised by our citizens, for the soldiers. pass
ed it to the compositor without further pc
rusal. Neither did we know of the insult
to our merchants until one of them called
our attention to it after the edition was
all printed, the foreman having read the
proof This much for ourself, AS to the
charge against the merchants, the contra
diction will be found by looking at the list
of subscriptions on the other page. With
one or two exceptions they have given very
literally to the fund They have always
done so for all benevolent and charitable
objects, as much so as any set of men we
know. They are honorable and liberal men.
No one who was really needy was ever
turned away from their stores uncontrolled,
that we know of. The language used by
our Correspondent was not very compli-
mentary to the soldiers. We do not believe
there is one of them that would allow him.
self to be kicked out - or "treated like
a brute " by anybody.

Departure OF the soldiers.

The soldiers which had enlisted under
Lieut.. Plumb took their departure On Tues
day morning. Before they left they were
presented by the citizens of the place with
a splendid flag, made by the ladies. The
presentation speech was made by old Father
Fairchild, and the flag was received by Mr..
Plumb in one of his happiest efforts. The
scene at the parting was very affecting.
Parents, sisters, daughters, wives, children
and friends were present to bid the soldiers
farewell-many of them feeling that it was
perhaps the last parting on earth. Few
eyes that did not shed tears. But all felt
that the sacrifice must be made. Stout
hearts trembled, and with the poet, all
could exclaim,
when forced to part with those we love,
Though sure to meet tomorrow,
We yet kihd of anguish prove,
And feel touch of sorrow.
But oh what words can paint the tears
When from those friends we sever,
Perhaps to part for months-for years
Perhaps to part foreverp'
Twenty teams had been furnished by
the generous citizens, to convey the boys to
Fort Leavenworth, and they were accom-
panied by the Elmendaro band. About
three hundred people had congregated to
see them off. AS they passed over the hill.
cheer on cheer went up from the long train
of wagons, which were responded to from
the citizens left behind. All seemed to say,
Farewell, my home-my home no longer, now"
And the citizens felt proud of their
brave defenders. We hope the day may
soon come when they may be welcomed
back to their homes in peace.

calculation proves that If the cohtinuauce
of the war requires that this rate Of outlay
should be kept up till the lst Of July, 1868.
300 millions moro will have beeu spent.-
But the war taxes, during ths. eight

tion Of its energies, the war viii be over by

will be no further loans beyond what have
been above indicated. Hence, we may bo
justified in regarding 20 millions as the
highest sum TO which our National Debt
can possibly be swelled by tha war for
the suppression of the rebellion. 1t is
eviden that, with ouB immense resources
aud growing wealth burden pfmuch great.
er dimensions could be well sustained. In
proof of this, we need only point to the fact
that the debt of England is 1918 millions
of dollars, and that of France, 2,206 milli-
ons. Still, in both these countries, a judi
oious use of financial skill enables q sum
TO be annually raised by taxation. which,
without timpOYerishing the country or OPP
pressing the people, is amply sufficient TO
pay the annual interest aud to sustain the
enormous expenses Of civil establishments
which are conducted at cost such as a
community of simple republican habits can
never require. 10 England and France
can bear the load of their prodigious debts
without much harm, surely, with the sim
gular recuperative energies of which we
have justly been so proud, our young gi'
ant Republic will be ableto shoulder bur-
den SO much smaller with ease. 4A'
The review of our National finances, is,
at the present moment, suggestive rather
of confidence than of fear. And the Off
cial statement on which ne have based
our remarks, offers evidence as sim
pie as it is decisive. For il fefutes and ut
terly sweeps away the malicious and igno-
rant surmises which have been foisted on
the public by RspiTants to office, who, TO
Influence the elections, further disloyal in
-trigues, help their Southern friends, aud
raise themselves to power, have been, with
mischievous diligence, alarming the pub
lie mind with artful statements that the
debtis2 900 millions, that the country is
exhausted, and that National bankruptcy
stares US in the face. sf
By a knowledge of the exact truth, loyal
men may quiet their Apprehensions as to
the financial situation. Aud forming a
right estimate of the past and prospec i've
cost of the war, they will know how to deal
with any profigate faction of demagogues
whose sinister aims may prompt them to
embarrass the Government, or to mistify
and mislead the people.

Much has been said aud sung about the
bristling cannon of Inen.oE.w war. Their ap-
pearanCe, even; without their fash and
roar. Is fierce and terrible thing They
are decidedly Obstructive in their behavior,
and of grim repulsive aspect. Nc. Ericsson
has been idSriug-revolying mentally
as one Of his turrets does physically
whether this Objectionable feature Of the
outer eutiGle Of his war vessel could not be
removed from sight. Hewas not inpelled
thereto from reasons Of artistic appearance,
but of pure ntilitarianism. His object was
to protect the guns and the gunners. So he
has execRitated q plan for firing the great
16-iuch gun within the p0rt-hole Of the tur-
ret. Wise, valiant, technical men said Il could
not be done. Mr.. Ericsson said it could,
and was ready TO stake everything upon its
success. Phspnblic have awaited the trial,
which has Just come oH. On Saturday,
