Too Honest To Be Quartefmaster General Of
Kansas.

Too Honest To Be 9n..,s'na''er General Of
General George W. Collamore, known to
most of our readers as Agent of the Mas
sachusetts Relief Committee, and as having
done more to relieve those in actual want
than any other man connected with the
relief business, was appointed by Governor
Robinson in May last, Quartermaster Gen
eral of Kansas. He is one of the best men
in the State, and of the several hundred
appointments our Governor has had the
honor Of making during the past year,
none better than that of Gen. Collamore
has been made. Possessed of unusual
energy, business tact and an honesty Of pur-
pose rarely found in Kansas, he discharged
the duties of the Office to the satisfaction of
every man in the State, except Governor
Robinson. Coliamore had too high q re-
gard for the interests of the State, and was
too honest to become party, or give con-
sent to the Bond Swiudle, and hence has
been removed from his Office. No other
reason under heaven can he assigned for his
removal. If he had been dishonest man,
he would today have been Quartczmaster
General.
On the 18th day of March, General
Collamore received notice from Gov. Rob-
inson of the appointment of bis successor,
and long correspon dcDce ensucs, which is
published in the Conservative. The Gov
ernor usually writes a good letter, h.t in
this case he is badly damaged. The cor
rcspondence will be read with deep interest
throughout the State, and is chiefly impor-
tant as furnishing further evidence, if any
we're wanting, to convict our State officers
Of completely to defraud the State.

"LEr HER SUFFER. The Topeka
Tribune, in commenting on the destruction
of the Frontier, hopes Junction may 'suffer
the consequences" 1t is singular, but
nevertheless true, that folks who live in
glass houses will throw stones. The Tri6-
une is engaged in the disgraceful task Of
apologizing for the thieves who have ruined
our State, and on the other hand charges
certain parties in that place with having
plundered their city out Of $4,000, to
secure the location of the capital at that
point. If the TriJune's charges are true,
then there are two sets Of thieves in To-
peka. Emigrants will make note of it,

LIEUT.. COL. S. N. WOOD.

One of the most spirited engagements ol
the war took place in Dent Co., Mo-, or
the 14th ult. The Union forces were com
manded by S. N. Wood, we'll known te
most of our citizens, and formerly a resi-
dent Of Council Grove, Morris county. He
raised company for the war early in the
spring Of 1861, which was attached to the
Kansas Second, and was considered one OF
the most efficient companies in that galllan.
regiment. When the Second was ordered
from Missouri to Kansas to be mustered
out Of service, Captain Wood remained at
St. Louis, with about fifty Of bis men, and
was attached to the Missouri Sixth, and
has since been promoted to the rank Of
Lieut.. Colonel
Col. Wood was known in this vicinity as
man who never finched-boldly advoca-
ting his principles in face of friend or foe !;
and in the gallant action in the Arkansas
Swamp, be has fully sustained his reputa-
tion for courage and daring.
Col. Woods command consisted of a
part of the Missouri Sixth and the Sd bat
tallion of the Third Iowa Cavalry, number
ing in all some three hundred men. The
rebel force was over one thousand strong.
The enemy took position in an Arkan-
sas swamp, which was almost impenetrable,
but we're manfully attacked by the small
force under Wood, when q brisk engage.
ment took place. The Federal force being
cavalry we're unable to penetrate the swamp,
and therefore fought at a disadvantage.
The engagement lasted until the ammuni.
tion of the Union force gave out, when
they withdrew. The enemy's loss was
terribly severe, including large number
of prisoners. Our loss was about thirty,
killed, wounded and missing.

AN AMERICAN PopE.-The Emperor
Napoleon, if we are to believe the current
gossip in the Paris correspondence of the
London journals. contemplates using his in.
auence to make Archbishop Hug ghes, Of
New York, first cardinal, aud then, when q
vacancy occurs, Pope of Rome. 1t is very
certain the archbishop is in high favor At
the Palace Royal, and there are many state
reasons why Napoleon might wish to fll
the Papal chair with some one outside of the
influence that surrounded the italian and
French prelates, which are known to be nm.
imousiy hostile to the present policy of i'm
perial France. Hence the rumor is not 80
improbable as it appears at the first sight.
II the Papacy is to be saved 10 these revol-
otionary times, it must have more tact and
ability at its head than it has had Of late
years. We may have Al American Pope

heart saddened, by the sorrowful tidings Of
the death of WILLIAM G. MURRAY, Colo
mel of the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania
Regiment. He was killed while leading
his men in q gallant charge on the rebel
front. We knew him well-too good man
to be the victim of the hell-hounds seeking
the overthrow Of our country fitting
companion for the hallowed spirits that have
preceded him on the way to immortal
glory.

LIT THEM COME.

Captain Graham, after the destruction of
the Frontier Office, issued an order prohibit
ing his command from visiting this place.
This at that time, with the consequent
excitement, was very proper, and evinced q
disposition on the part Of Capt. Graham to
protect our citizens from any further acts
of lawlessness. But order having now
been restored, and the soldiers not evincing
q disposition to do anything further than
what they have already accomplished, We
think they should be permitted to visit our
city as usual. If soldiers can come among
US peaceably, We are glad to see them,
especially when they arc we'll supplied with
{" green backs"
Some of our business men have expended
considerable in raising and equipping troops
to suppress the rebellion, and We do not
think they should be deprived of the trade
of the soldiers Of Fort Riley, unless there
should again arise case of actual necessity.
We hope the order will be countermanded.

Candy was at Fort Craig on the 7th ult.

SECRETARY CHASE,

The Chicago Tribune, of December -, says;
Secretary Chase is too sensitive. No part
of the profound dissatisfaction that exists In the
public mind in relation TO The conduct of the
war, rests upon him. He has managed his de-
partment of public affairs with signal ability,
and with integrity above suspicion. No Cabi-
net officer ever enjoyed a larger measure of
public confidence or respect. The bitterest and
most unreasoning partisan Democrats find no
fault with him. The Republicans would do
plore his retirement as q public calamity, and
the regrets Of the Democrats would also be
sincere. Whoever else may retire, the Presi-
dent must not permit Chase to leave the Cabi-
net while the war lasts. He must stay and sec
the thing through. His financial talents can
not be spared at this time. Some years hence
smaller men may be entrusted with the Trcasu-
ry portfolio, but while the present crisis lasts,
he Is needed in Just the office he holds. The
Republic has the right to command the services
Of its loyal sons, for whatever post they are
best fitted TO in."

WASHINGTON yARIETIEs.-This new and
beautiful place OF resort has been drawing
crowded houses during the past week, and we
congratulate the management on being able to
secure troupe of performers which have given
such general satisfaction to the Washington
public. The performances have been of a
high order. The great feat of Moreste, on the
horizontal bar, Ia unique. The beautiful dane
ing, by the Misses Lehman, Eliza Florence,
and Kate Marshall, was creditably done. Miss
Tesman made her debut, and was well received
She Is a charming singer, and bids fair TO he
come a great fayorite. The Old sexton,"
sung by Panl Berger, cannot be excelled In this
country Mr.. Berger is fine singer, and has
a bass voice OF vast compass. The Budworth
brothers are as jolly and full of fun as ever;
they are good performers, and have been well
received. The managers, as will be seen by
their advertisement, have secured two of the
best female singers in the country, Eva Brent
and Kathleen O'Niel; also, the beautiful dan
sense, Mad. Zoe, together with Sam Long, the
comic singer. They will all appear tonight,
and we bespeak for them hearty welcome.
Hernandez, as the French Dancing Master, was
the most laughable thing we have witnessed
for a long time. He has become quite popular
during his short stay In Washington.

which he entered in ls42, at 10 years of age.

ever, that, in their second year, Foster stood
next below, and In their third year noxt above
Mcclellan, and that, when they graduated,
Fostei was above Mcclellan In military tactics.
Immediately on leaving the academy, Foster
