The INEVITABLE NEGRo.--Gen. Butler has
sent case in regard to refugee negroes to
Washington for adjudication, in order to test
the policy of the government. Gen. Phelps
received some negroes who had come into bis
camp, and, being somewhat puzzled as to
whether he had acted rightly, appealed to
Gen. Butler, who, in turn places the matter in
the hands of the President. Gen. Butler, un-
willing to decide the case himself has for
Barded the papers to the authorities at Wash
ington for aojudication. 1t should be added
that he takes just the opposite view Of the
case from Gen. Phelps.

THE FINnL RESULT.

From this time forward, what will be the
final result of the great civil commotion
that has for the last ten months so seriously
disturbed our heretofore unparalleled pros
perity, and threatened to annihilate our
National existence, will be question that
will engross tie whole attention of the
larger portion of the American people, and
the greatest minds of the country will at
tempt its solution.
From the spirit manifested by the people
of Tennessee since the recent splendid vic.
tories Of our troops in that section, herald
ing the approach of the Army of the Union
with undisguised expressions of loyalty, and
manifesting their love for the stars and
stripes by cheers and rejoicings, we are led
to believe that the union of all the States
will be maintained, without reconstruc-
tion," and without compromise. When the
film that has been cast over the eyes of the
great mass of the Southern people by such
men as JEFF. Davis and his abettors, has
been removed by the infexible power of our
Government, and they see that the 'Lincoln
Army" is only intent upon strict enforce
mcnt of the laws under the Constitution,
then will they lay down their arms and
joyfulIy again take protection under the
banner of Columbia, the home of freedom.
Let the people of the South who have been
betrayed into this unnatural war by the am
bilious and designing men who now hold
the reins Of power in the socalled Confed-
crate States, understand the motives Of the
leaders and people who are now carrying FIRE
and sword to their very beartbstones for the
preservation of the Union, and feeling
will spring up among them that will burl
from power and place and cast forever into
oblivion. the ruthless leaders of this rebel
hon, and once more it viii be = pride
among them to be called an American
citizen. In confirmation Of this, We have
but to call to mind the feeling existing
anong the fifteen thousand prisoners taken
By our gallant troops at Fort Donclson. |
Of these, over two thousand expressed a !
willingness and strong desire to enroll |
themselves in our army, and the whole

one / met contained one man whose fixed
face and rigid limbs bespoke him long since
corpse, while alongside hy a wounded
man, but so feeble from protracted exposure
and loss Of blood as to have little or no
idea of what was beside him. A little fur
ther on l came to no less than eight bodies
lying in one group, whose home-spuu jeans
well told for which side they had spent
their life blood Still further on bodies
were scattered about on all sides. Let one
turn his eyes where he would, they were
sure to rest on some CORY corpse. Grey
coats and blue were scattered about in close
proximity-sbowing full well the desperate
character of the conflict. In one or two
instances noticed the dead bodies of those
who had evidently died in mortal combat,
one with the other, but now both alike at
rest. A surprising number of both federals
and rebels had been shot in the head, COW
ering them with gore, and in many instances
give them most horrible appearances, and
still others we're completely riddled with
balls. Wandering about through the dense
thickets where, for the most part, the battle
was most fercely waged, were quite num-
Der of soldiers, both federals and confeder-
*te, attracted by curiosity to see the scene
Of their previous exploits, or to search for
some missing comrade who had probably
been left on the fatal fed. In some in
stances the expected body was discovered,
and silently buried in some retired nook, in
others the search was in vain, and it per-
haps was left to moulder in the depth of the
thickets where its spirit had taken its fight.
A "Toung An'erica" iSoldier.-Coming
into little open field into the woods which
had evidently been the scene of the hottest
portion of the fight found but one living
mortal among the dead. On approaching,
| found this person mere stripping with
the garb of federal soldier, and at least,
in his own estimation, just now, pretty
formidable one at that. DO you see that
old secesh J" said be, pointing to a stalwart
body at least six feet in length stretched
out few feet from him. "Well, I killed
him." and with evident pride he went on
tell me how the dead enemy was the color
bearer of rebel regiment, and as was lying
there beside that stump, had taunted him
with being an Abolit;onist, and told him
"to come out of there" He did come out,
and to the sad detriment of his Goliah- like
antagonist. The boy had come mile or
more from his camp to get glimpse at his
fallen foe.

Agricultural Association for Western Kansas.


We commend the following article TO the
attention Of those interested in getting up
an Agricultural Society in Western Kansas.
We already have society of the kind
started in this county, and with fair pros
pect of success. If the members should,
however, become of the opinion that it
would be for the benefit of the object they
have in view to unite with the citizens of
Riley county, We would advise them SO
to do:
DEAR UNION: Observing in your paper
some articles on agricultural subjects, l
inferred that your paper was in part devo
ted to the interests of that important subject
l therefore concluded to inform your readers
through your columns, that a meeting of
the farmers of this region of country, will
be held in Manhattan, on Saturday, the
22nd day of March, 1862, for the purpose
of forming an Agricultural Society. l am
not authorized to speak for that meeting
further than any individual having at heart
the interests of agriculture and horticulture
in Western Kansas but see no impropri-
ETY. whatever, in suggesting to the citizens
residing in other counties than Riley, to
meet in Manhattan on that day and partici-
pate in its deliberations, as the meetings of
that Society could be held in other counties.
What l mean is, that the meeting can
adjourn to meet at Junction City, Ogden
or any other place, as the majority may
determine. Those who feel an interest in
the advancement of this important science,
are perhaps not numerous enough to have
an organized society in every county, at
least for some time, therefore an agricultur-
al and horticultural society could be formed
for Western Kansas. l have merely made
this suggestion so that those interested can
act as their sentiments upon the matter may
suggest. Truly yours,
A. NJ. BURNS.
