Of Oar Forces at Pert Royal.
The most inportant intelligence brought
from Port Royal By The steamship Allan
tio, which srriVed here yesterday, relates
20 the new expedition fitting out at that
point under the direction ef Commodore
Dupont and General Sherman. Its desti-
nation Is supposed 10 be Eavannsh.
Tbs utmost secrecy, however, is observed
BY our officers in regard to the details Of
this movement Il is known that q sue
oessful survey Of new water course has
been made, and that BY means Of this
channel (which for obvious reasons We do
not name Savannah can be reached with
out passing Fort Pulaski. Our troops are
nov engaged in the work Of removing
logs, hulks, and other distractions, inolud-
ing piles, which the rebels had placed in
the stream under the impression that they
had thereby secured themselves from at
tack in that direction. At last accounts
this work vas rapidly progressing, and It
vas Thought when the Atlantic left Port
Royal thai the work had been accomplished.
The rebels hal, however, taken the preosu-
.iOn to erect battery at the head Of the
Wster course, and information had been
received 70 the effect that this battery, Rs

could not be 80 fortified as 70 prevent the

INDIANS ON THE WALNUT.

From Captain P. G. D. Morton, who
passed through this place on Monday night.
we learn that about three hundred Indians
had arrived in the neighborhood of Chelsea,
having been driven from their homes by
their Secession brethren. They are mostly
Creeks. They had several fights. and were
defeated by the Secessionists. Capt. Nor
ton informs Us there are twelve thousand
of these Indians on their way to Kansas.
When they left their country they were in
structed by their chief to meet on the Wal
nut; but only three hundred had arrived
when he left, and it is feared that those who
are back have fallen into the hands of the
enemy. Those who have arrived are in
very destitute circumstances. What is to
be done for them it is hard to tell, but they
should not be permitted to suffer. We are
told that the Government owes them large
sum of money in the way of annuities. II
this is SO they should be paid at once.
These Indians, who have stood out for the
Union, and have been driven from their
homes, deserve the kindest and promptest
treatment.

$4,000. At Cairo, the frauds are still
more glazing. One man, connected with
the Quartermaster's Department at that
post, has stolen $3.50, 600! And so it goes.
We might go on and multiply cases dd
infnituns, but these figures are enough to
cause any honest man, who loves his coun-
try, and who has one spark. of confidence
left in his species, to blush.
1t is to be hoped that Government will
institute measures to have these thieves
brought to justice and punished. as they
should be. Fremont, about the only Gen.
eral in the army who has done anything,
was removed because it was alleged he was
extravagant, but which charge we have
never seen substantiated, and yet men can
steal their hundreds of thousands, and go
unwhipped of justice. We have not read a
single account of an army officer being
punished for stealing. although it has been
carried on with high hand for months. II
these things are not stopped soon, We may
as well give up the ship.

MIR. CoNwAY,s SPEECH.

On our outside We present copious ex-
tracts from the speech of our Representa-
tive in Congress. 1t is one of the most
powerful efforts of the kind ever made by a
Kansas man on the floor of Con gress. This
speech will add new laurels to Mr.. Con-
ways reputation; as statesman and bold
and fearless advocate of the Right. He
speaks what he thinks of the Slavery saving
policy of the Administration. without fear
or favor, and for this he will receive the
praise of large majority of bis constitu-
ents. He pays merited tribute to the
Freedom-loving people of Kansas, and the
important part they have played in this
struggle.
While we do not agree with him in all
he says, most of his positions are correct
We believe with him, that the Creator has
brought the means to our doors of forever
Kidding this Government of the baleful and
deadening influences which the serpent,
Slavery, has always thrown around it, and
we should not let the opportunity pass of
at least giving it blow which would cause
its certain and gradual death. Already the
coils have been loosened-and why try to
save it, at the same time we save the Union?
The work will most assuredly be to do over
again, by our children, if we do not finish
it now. Slavery or Freedom, one or the
other, will finally be crushed. The honest
historian would search in vain for reason
for the raising of an army of half million
of men, and the expanding of millions of
treasure, if Slavery is to be restored to its
former powerful position in our national
Government.

CORRUPTION!

II is discouraging to read the accounts
of frauds which are every day being per-
petrated on the Government, in the differ
emit military departments of the Union army.
1t seems that thousands of men have rushed
into the army to steal themselves into mill
ionaires. They have taken advantage of the
present war to fll their Golfers. There are
hundreds upon hundreds of Quartermasters
and other officers now in the army of the
United States, that deserve the halter more
richly than the vilest Rebel in the country.
The love of money has become SO great IN
the American people. and SO much fraud
and corruption stalks abroad in the land,
that it would almost seem providentlai
blessing if we could be reduced to AFFECT
poverty. both individually and as nation.
1t is disgraceful to think that there are
found so many men who set themselves
about swindling the Government and the
people out of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, just as deliberately as they would eat
their breakfasts. The nation is fast losing
its virtue and integrity, by the dishonest
action of its thousands of public leeches
and money lovers; and when these are
gone, may we not expect ruin to follow?
Last week we published a statement that
one Edward Clark, formerly of Lawrence,
had perpetrated fraud on the Shawnee
Indians by which he was enabled to pocket
$4,000 of their money. A year or so
ago there was started, in New York city. a

case was opened by Mr.. Crozier, OF Leav-

points of the argument were: That by The

1869; that under the provisions of the
Constitution the people could elect his sue
cessor Notwithstanding the failure of the
Legislature to provide for such an election
and that for these reasons the Board of STATE
