CONsOLATORY,

The Leavenworth Inquirer has engaged itseli
since the election in harping upon the "intimi.
dation practised upon the fearless" Democ-
racy by Lanes myrmidions." In the same
breath we are told of their defending the Con-
stitution," from which We infer that they are a
remarkable set Of patriots. The article alludes
to various methods resorted to TO " coerce free
men" to vote the Republican ticket, md winds
up with an invocation, and quotation from the
Psalmist.
As We live in neighborhood where there are
great many Democrats, and also few "myr-
midions," we are probably better enabled than
many others, at least, to pronounce the article in
question pretty good consolatory yarn for the
thick headed butternuts that constitute the De-
moerncy. Of course, such yarns are allowable,
and they are welcome to the consolation they
afford, for such rebuke from people must sting

HAVE HOPE.

The demand for the Report of Dr.. SEyxou,
has become so great that We are compelled te
re-publish it. It's interest, and the attention il
is attracting hitherward, forbid its being bur.
den to our columns
Extravagancy cannot be INDUCED in regarding
the beauty. fertility. and prospects Of this coun.
try. Rich in everything that nature could grant
with railroad already pointing through it. and
thrifty people, the prediction ofthe Doctor that
it will blossom like the rose," will soon be
verified. Millions Of acres Of unoccupied lands
still remain, and tillers are wanted to aid in the
beautifying task.
The future is full Of hope A. the end of the
present war, which cannot be far distant, thou.
sands now battling for Liberty will rush to these
valleys in search Of home. All will possess a
desire to be on the grand trunk of the Pacific
Railroad. The superior inducement offered in
the fertility of our soil will make the valleys Of
the Smoky Hill and Republican-and "the
Blue"-a first object; and soon they will TEEN
with active industrial pursuits, urged on by q
happy and intelligent population, giving vigor
and stability to our young Commonwealth.
Our farmers should work with such hopes.
Let all improvements be made substantial, and
becoming future SO bright as that in sight.

II The war news of the past week is indica-
tive Of movement On the rebels. Activity is
slowly becoming the order of the day on the
Potomac. The demand for the surrender Of
Fredericksburg, and in case of non compliance,
the order to remove the women and children,
is pleasing opening Of an active winter cams
paign. In the West, it seems as if our Kansas
army was falling back to Fort Scott, there to
60 into winter quarters We hope, however,
that this will not be. 4 few months vigorous
work along the entire line Of our army would
sweep them into the Gulf.
We have other pleasing evidences that sue
cess will soon be ours. The recent orders Of
the President, requiring a strict observance Of
the Sabbath by the army, and also dismissing
from the service the drunken and incompet ent
cfhcers, who have been dead weight to it,
were much needed improvements of its moral
status.

From OnT Special Correspondent.
WAsHiSGToN. Monday, Sept 10. 1852
The news from the Upper Potomac relieves, in q
great measure, the city from feeling Of insecurity
which has prevailed in II ever since the army fell
back from Centreville behind the Potomac ntrench.
Inenis As dispatch after Dispatch announcing that
the victory was more aud more decisive arrived,
the city was quietly joyful over the good news.
The questions remained first, whether Col. Miles
had been able to maintain his position at Harpers
Ferry, and whether any considerable portion Of the
army Of invasion which had been allowed TO cross
the Potomac would be enabled 20 recross It.
At this writing, neither doubt is removed for
certainty but hopes are entertained that Col Miles
was 20 far strengthened in determination by the
welcome sound Of approaching artillery as to hold
his own until relieved; that the energy which has
been shown since the battle begun, if we may be-
heve the dispatches that reach u.s. will continue 10
be shown until the victory be made compiete--that
not only its immediate fruits but those which Ieg-
mateiy belong TO it may be gathered.
IL is hoped that the army which has been routed
and demoralized will never DO allowed moments
rest TO reorganize and recuperate, but will be- fol-
lowed remorselessly until not a regiment remains
entire, and not guerrilla party iniests any part Of

Toombs, had left Hagerstown.
Citizens report that fighting had taken place near
Midietown, and that General Mcclellan had been
driven back two miles, and that the final issue was

camped on the Boonsboro road, had also left

Various REPORTS.

BALTrxoKE, Monday, Sept. is. 1861
The report via Philadelphia that the Rebels are
planting guns on Maryland IIights, opposite Har-
per's Ferry, is incorrect We hold Maryland Nights,
and no one can plant guns there till we are de-
feated.
The American has a letter from Hsrper's Ferry,
dated 10th, which says: "Col White has sent us
to-day 30 days supply Of provisions"
IiARHrsBuRo Monday, Sept. u.s. 1861.
The report in regard 10 tie Rebels planting guns
on the Maryland Heights Is believed to be true but
if Miles could hold his position till noon, when he
expected 10 be reenforced, he felt confident of dis
lodging them.
'StrsggIers from the Rebel army arc scattered all
along the road to WilIlamsport where the enemy is
no doubt crossing. The raising up Of LonSstreefs
division was for the purpose Of making the enemy
stand.
