Total Defeat Of POrter'S GuerrillaS.
-
500 KILLED AND WOUNDED.

Gen. Merrill telegraphs from Hudson fur
Their particulars of the battle near Kirksville,
between Colonel MoNeifs forces and Porter's
guerrillas, numbering 5000 men. The loss
of the enemy in killed and wounded is set
down at not less than 300-of whom l2s were
found and buried on the battle field. Two
thousand of Porter's force deserted him, and
have scattered in every direction-sevsral
hudred have been taken prisoners, and some
of the most notorious of these, found with ev-
idence of their faithle5Sne2s - 4U.r o2tls SD
their parole in their pockets, were summarily
disposed Of by Court Martial. Porter and
those rebels who adhere to him are retreating,
closely followed by Mcneil and his victorious
troops.
g The Federal loss is stated at eight killed and
twenty-five wounded. Col. Mcneil was
slightly injured.
The victory has broken the backbone OF
the guerrillas in this State. The troops in
pursuit win either drive them out of the State
or put it beyond their ability to do any fur,
tber mischief in it. The right is abroad, and

rested them and brought them to the corner
Of jefferson and Main. One of the culprits
broke away from Policeman No. |, who took
after him bog-trotter style. The other culprit
said 20 Policeman No. 2, that if he wished to
help his friend to catch the runaway, he
would stay there and wait till he came
back. SO the bright policemen lost both

INDEcENcY.-It is ever with reluctance we
lif: the pen to chronicle the conduct of fallen
woman. Woman, who, in the divinity of her
goodness and virtue, is ever the ministering
angel to the wants of suffering man, and whose
lips give him life-consolins words in his mel
ancholy moments of disconsolation, sometimes
descends from her useful and noble sphere, in
which she is an ornament to all creation, and
becomes an object of pity, or an outcast victim
of the low-fung wretches of human degrade
ton. 1t is in such connection we dislike to
call her name, and are therefore almost
tempted to pass over that of Lizzie Rafferty,,
who WAS arraigned before the tribunal of the
City Recorder yesterday morning for having
publicly exposed her person, and fined there
for, Sc and costs.

OFFICE OF RECRUITING COMMISSIONERS,
DEPARTMENT OLE KANSAS !

OF Kansas.
OFFICE OF RECRUITING COMMISSIONERS, \
DEPARTMENT OF KANSAS,
LEAvENwoRTH CITY, Kansas, Aug. 4.
To the loyal of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and
Dacotah:
The government is engaged in raising an
army that will insure the suppression Of the
rebellion, and the aid Of every loyal man is
invoked for the accomplishment of this object.
Experience has shown that the lenient pol
icy pursued will not win the insurgents back
to their allegiance, nor disarm the traitors.
The government is fully aroused to this stern
reality.
The conviction exists in the minds of the
people that nothing but war-real, earnest war
can be awaiting, ard the national author
tiles are responding to this conviction of the
people.
Acting upon this policy, the government
has authorized me to organize an army in this
department; and, in the name of the govern
ment, L call upon every loyal man to aid me
in the work.
My powers in the premises are full.
Camps will be established at convenient
points within the limits of this department.
and supplies Of arms and aceouterments, camp
| equipage and subsistence will be furnished.
Everything necessary to the complete equip
| ment of the forces will be promptly and fully
supplied. Every volunteer will receive the
bounty Of S25, and one months advance pay,
| upon being mustered into service. Those who
| Join this army viii designate the men who
! shall command them.
These forces win be used for the defense of
| this department. While the armies OF the
| North and East will be marched to meet the
rebels upon their own soil, no troops can be
sent here for our protection. We must rely
upon the organized forces now in this depart
| ment, and such as can be raised among our
selves The government will provide NUM-
| tions of war-the men we must furnish.
| 1t is expected that the State and Territorial
governments will earnestly cooperate with
the representative of the general government
| in this patriotic work, and that every loyal
heart will swell with ehivalric enthusiasm IN
the holy cause.
The nation is struggling for its existence
| The noblest institutions ever established
amongst men are in peril. A herculean effort
| is being organized to avert this calamity. AL
over the teeming loyal States, the people are
| rising. Their treasure is poured out like
water, and the best lives are being pledged to
victory.
Shall We not, then, stand by the old flag, in
defense of our hearthstones and family affairs
l do not say to you, GO and perform this great
work, bat I do say, COME and join the host
marshaling for the conflict. Where duty Leads
l will be with you. Rally, then-our country

of o hushI" was the pi!h Of the entertain
ment--causing the roof to resound with many
a side-spltting laugh. Mr.. Purdy has proved
himself to be all that could be expected-he
has gained the enviable title of first class
delineator in ths.cork opera profession. Mr..
MARS dances well, and is fully equal to every
undertaking. Our citizens can have no ex-
cuse now for want Of evening passtime. Go

ell the patronage that the city can ex tend to
any troupe.
