Col. Carr drove forward his left flank.
The fight became general, and the ravine
near the Elk Horn tavern became thronged
with the flying enemy. The bluffs on the
left, forming a natural forti6ca,ion, whers
they had several regiments and battery
posted, were stormed by Col. GreusePs bri-
gade The precipice here is seventy-fve
feet high. The Twelfth. Fifteenth and
Seventeenth Missouri and Thirty sixth Illi-
nois, scaled the hill and drove the enemy
out, the brigade losing only eight men
killed and twenty two wounded. The top
of the bluff was completely covered with
their dead and wounded from our spherical
case shot and shells. The arms and accou-
trements were scattered in all directions.
A prisoner taken here stated that Van
Dorm had not been seen Cor two hours, and
thew thought it time to leave. The victory
was complete.
The retreatiug enemy was pursued for
two miles by company d of Bowman's bat
tallion, and the pursuit was kept up by the
Benton Hussars and General Sigel to
Keetsville. Prisoners, including officers,
were taken in large numbers. Our loss in
the battle was comparatively small. but tho
enemy's was terribly severe. We killed
General Slack. and young Clark, son of
Merriweather Clark, of St. Louis, who had

Just given the order to retreat when ball
struck him on his horse. Lieut.. Colonel
McCulloch, son of the General, was also
found among the killed, near Elk Horn
tavern, with his commission in his pocket
Ben McCulloch was killed in the brush
on slight elevation on the opposite sideof
the field, by Peter Pelican, q private in
Company B. seth Illinois. The attack in
which the ubiquitous Ben was taken off
was led by Captain Miller. MeCulloch
wore dress cf black velvet, patent leather,
high top boots, and he had on light color
ed broad brimmed Texan hat. He was on
a light bay horse. Pelican went up and
took his gold watch, now in the possession
of Colonel Greusel.

our troops were furnished with means Of
TRANSFORMATION across the Trent to Newbern.
The rebels attempted to fire the town in
their retreat, but were prevented by the ci-
tizens, who extinguisbed the flames as fast
as they were started by the soldiers.
None of our Generals or staff othcers were
killed or wounded. We captured from 80
to so cannon. The officers of the rebels
left their baggage behind and the men threw
away everything. The fight terminated at

EE Another righteous act of the Leg
islature, was law for Furnishing State and
County Treasurers for dealing in scrip,
with funds paid in for taxes. Many Treas
urers have been in the habit of pocketing
money paid in, and turning over scrip to
the amount, thus making good thing of
it, while the treasury was kept empty, and
the county run hopelessly in debt by issu-
ing warrants to the amount of three or
four dollars for every dollars worth Of any
thing purchased for the use of the county.

Dis.ric. Of Kansas.

1t will be gratifying to our readers to
learn that Brigadier General Denver has
been assigned to the command Of the Dis
:rict of Kansas, and that he will arrive
soon to assume the duties of his position.
The District under bis command will In
clude what was heretofore known as the
Department of Kansas, and the troops in
the field, except those on the Southern bor-
der Of the State, who will report to Gen
Curtis, in Arkansas.
No man could have been assigned to the
command here who would give more per-
feet satisfaction to the people Of Kansas,
than General Denver. He has been long
known to US, and through his entire civil
career in the Territory, none can point to
single action that marks him other than an
upright, honest officer, as well as polished
gentleman. He enjoys alike the confidence
of the people of Kansas and his military
in the Department and at Wash
ington. Relieved from his duties here, he
was given command of an important divi-
sion in Western Virginia and in returning
him to his former field of action, the Gov.
ernment has acted in manner which must
be entirely satisfactory, no less to the peo-
pie Of the State than to the military forces
which will be under his command. Wei
cordially welcome General Denver again to
Kansas Times.

PARTICULARS OF THE FIGHT AT NEwBURN
NORTH CAROLINA.
Sergeant Major D. S. Johns, of the %

Sergeant Major D. S. Johns, of the 23d
Massachusetts, regiment, came up a passen
GEL by the steamer Commodore. From him
we gather the following interesting particu-
lars. Our troops nnder Gen. Burnside
landed on Thursday evening near the mouth
Of Severn Creek on the west side of Neuse
river fifteen miles below Newbern. Owing
to dense fog, the naval vessels did not par
ticipate in the fight.
Early on Friday morning the fght COM
menced. Our troops advanced along the
country road running parallel with the
Neuse river but a mile or two in the rear.
The road was skirted on the west side rail-
road and dense swamp. All along the
river side were series of batteries which
were taken by our troops-one after anoth-
er after some bloody hand to hand fighting
Our troops were divided into three brig
ades under Generals Reno, Foster and Parks
We advanced gradually-the enemy desert
ing their guns until we reached line Of
eaithworks extending across the road from
the river to the swamp on the west, dis
tance OF some two miles. These earthworks
were very strong. They were located about
two miles south of Newbern, and between
them and the city ran the river Trent. The
country road and the railroad both passed
through these works and crossed into the
city bridges. In front of these works the
rebels had felled large number OF trees,
forming an almost impossible abattis.-
Here the flying rebels were rallied and
made for while desperate stand.
Our men fought until all their ammuni-
tion was spent. when an order to charge
bayonets was given, and the works were
finally taken at the point of the bayonet, the
enemy flying and leaving everything behind
them in their retreat The rebels burned
The brigdes communicating with the town,
over which the country road and the rail
road passed. As they had their trains Of
;ars in the rear, just across the bridge, they
If course were able to carry of their dead
md wounded. Their loss is therefore not
certainly known, but it must have been Sc
'ere. Before our troops reached this last
york they encountered another, which was
leserted before they came up. 1t was in
ront of this last fortifcation that our great
oss was sustained. The force of the rebels

FoREIGN.-The importance Of the Fed
eral victory at Fort Donelson is generally
recognized, causing an advanced in American
securities and a depression in cotton.
Lord Palmerston, in response to inquir-
les, said the government originally intended
sending much larger force to Canada than
that dispatched, and it was only in conse-
quence of representations made by Colonial
authorities that the number was reduced.
He believed the promptitude, vigor and
power displayed by the government, tended
greatly to peaceful solution of the diff
culties with America.

We have received the proceedings of the
Kansas Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. Our space does not permit
US to publish them in full The Conference

Simpson presided, but on account of i'll
health was unable to preach.
The Kansas Conference reports seventy

Rcsolrcd. That public sentiment demands
8 iudicious Prohibitory Liquor Law, in the
place of the License Law now found upon
our statutes.
A resolution was also passed condemning
the use of tobacco. The following resolu-
tion on slavery was also unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, American slavery is tue main
spring of tie existing rebellion, and has
been retained in the Nation at the sacrifice
of moral principles and civil liberty, and Is
at the present time drinking the bes: blood
of the Nation, therefore,
Resolred, That We are in favor of the
vigorous prosecution of the war until the
irrepressiblc conflict between Liberty and
Slavery, is finally settled BY the complete
overthrow of rebellion, and in the entire
destruction of treason, with its twin mon
ster, secession, and that we will as ever
pray for the utter abolition of American
Slavery.

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

A number of the leading citizens of
Kansas, with the usual enterprise SO charac-
teristic of our young State, have formed a
State Agricultural Society, for the puapose
Of advancing one of our most material
Interests. That the work is in good hands
can be seen by glance at the list of the
officers of the Society.
Although not personally acquainted with
the President, Mr.. Lyman Scott, of Leav-
enworth county, We can speak for his zeal
in the cause Of Agriculture, his good taste
as farmer and spirit of improvement, hav-
ing many times admired his magnificent
farm situated on the road leading to Leav-
worth. His is one of the best farms in the
State, showing him to be scientific farmer
and emitting linn to the honorable position
he now holds.
Kansas is purely an Agricultural State,
and every movement tat tends towards the
advancement of this noble, and at the same
time lucrative pursuit, should be met with
the highest encouragement of the people,
and sustained even at present sacrifice of
time and money, as the benefits to be de-
rived from it in the future are inca!culable.
The Society desires the cooperation Of
all County Societies, and the Secretary will
cheerfully correspond with such societies.
as well as with all persons interested. The
Society will receive large amount of seed
from the Department of the Interior which
will be distributed throughout the State.
Oar space will not permit us to publish
the Constitution of the Society this week,
but we will endeavor to lay it before our
readers in our next issue. The Society
will make strenuous cxertions to hold fair
sometime during this year, but may be un-
able to do so. They will, however, offer
premiums for such productions as have
become scarce or valuable through the un-
precedented state of affairs now existing iu
the country.
The following officers of the Society
were elected for the year 1862:
President, Lyman Scott, of Leavenworth
county; Secretary, +. G. Adams, Of Shaw
nee; Treasurer, Isaac Garrison of Shawnee.
Executive Committee, L. B. Whitman, of
Douglas; f. z. Baker. of Nemaha; W. A.
Shannon, of Lyon; c. B. Lines, of Wa
baunsee J. c. Marshall, of Linn; Martin
Anderson, of Jackson j. w. Sponable, of
Johnson; Welcome Wells, Of Riley; r.
A. Van Winkle, of A,chison.

Mr.. Forney, in letter to the Press, in
discussing the question of the future policy
of the Government, in relation to the set
tlemcnt after the war, speaks Of the attempts
of the Breckintidge Democracy, to effect
such reconstruction as will bring back into
power their late Secession associates. He
says:
"TLus it is that we find them opposing
all legislation which looks to the condign
punishment of the rebels, and to the for
feiture of their property. Such acts being,
according to their theory, in violation Of ,be
Constitution, must not be attempted. They
