Ietin says a gentleman who left Fort
Monroe last evening furnishes the fol-
lowing: III
The army of the Potomac had all ar
rived at the lower end of the Peninsula
without being molested on the way in
the slightest degree. Gen. Mcclellan
it is understood was at Williamsburg
yesterday morning. Fitz John Porter's
Division, which was on tue opposite side
of the James river. has also come down
the Peninsula.
Gen. Burnside arrived at Fort Monroe
on Sunday, and went up the James river
as far as The Chickahominy, 10 how OPP
e%rations were going. He returned yes
terday morning to Fort Monroe report
ing everything satisfactory.
The weather was cool and delightful
and most favorable for the movement of
troops. Most of the gun boats came
down the river, bat some remained to
guard the pontoon bridge across the
the Chickahominy over which the army
passed on its way down the Peninsula.

TO SheFlTs, Masters In Chancery;

all others Whom it Nay Con-
Germ, Greeting:

Know We, that from this day forth, our
rules with regard to advertising will be
strictly enforced. We are compelled TO
resort 10 this rule from unrelenting ne
eessifv. Our charges for advertising this
summer. amount to over u thousand
dollars. oIt is all good-gOOd as old
wheat - YET we do not get enough mo-
ney to pay for our paper. We are told
that legal advertising is always well SEE
cured-it will all be paid sometime, &C.
this is all very pretty in theory, but in
practice II is not SO pleasant. On Mr..
Furnas' books one half the charges for
legal advertising of four and five years
standing, are sill unpaid. Yet in many
instances the case is closed, and the costs
collected by somebody.
While "our hand is in" we will also
take occasion to say a few words to OuI
delinquent subscribers. We want you L
paw up, With most Of the country sub.
scrlbers in this county we have made ar
engagements to take farm produce, and we
are always happy to receive it at prices
fully as high or a little higher than is Civ.
en- in the market by anybody else. VIZ
are tired of paying five per e m pei
month interest on money to purchase oul
own provisions. and the material for ouI
paper. We know that times are verl
hard on farmers as well as all others ii
this country, but those whO are not dbL
to pay for their paper should discontinue
taking 1t. We have frequently threaten.
ened to strike from our list all who ar
delinquent for twelve months or more
and we have discontinued many whom W,
knew did not intend to pay, yet some 0
the most able farmers in this county hav,
taken the advertiser for three or fou
years for which we have received nothin,
There is an abundance of produce nov
in the country, and althoughfarmers ma
be reluctant to part with it al preseu
prices, we can't afford wait two or thre.
years for times to get better. We wan
Wood, Corn, Flour and nay, and we ar.
also willing to take butter, eggs, potatoe

From the LeayenWOrth Conservative August p:
A few days ago, when Fort Scott was
threatened, Col. Barstow sent to Gen.
Saloman for aid. With the zeal and en-
ergy which have ever characterized that
officer he Immediately repaired to Fort
Scott with the most effective portion of
him command. Il is probable that all the
white regiments of the Indian expedition
are now at Fort Scott, anq that the Indi-
ans regiments are within fifty miles of
that post. This is the best news we have
recorded for many a day,
LATER.-A messenger arrived here
last night who left Fort Scott Monday
night. All the white regiments are
there and the Indian regiments are with
in a few miles of there. a little lively
attention to guerillas would be exceed
ingly well timed just now.
Col. Barstow, with a part of his COM
mand, returned from Fort Scott Sunday,
having left there he Tuesday morning
previous.
The Court Martial for the trial Of the
Indian exped. don officers was dissolved
by Gen. Blunt, the arrests suspended tiIl
further orders, and the officers ordered
to their respective commands.
