PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SMOKY Hill 4 REPUBLICAN, UNION.
WEEKLY REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER,
WESTERN KANSAS.
v me II.

The success which has attended US during
the past year, as shown by our increased cir
culation, in our securing SO extensive an adver.
tising patronage, and by the high encomiums
which have been received from the press and
people of the State for our bold and indepen-
dent course, in defence Of the Right, have
satisfied the Publishers that the UNION is
fixed and permanent institution Of Western
Kansas.
While thanking our many patrons fox the
bountiful support which they have given us,
and for the encouragement received by the
many compliments bestowed, we would ask
continuance of their help in making the UNION
reflex Of the prosperity and advancement
which is sure to attend the course of Western
Kansas
Strictly identified with the interests Of
Western Kansas, and well knowing its vast
resources, which are only awaiting the magic
hand Of the capitalist and laborer to be fully
developed, and added to the growing wealth
Of the country, We shall spare no pains or
energy to bring before the masses Of the East
the great advantage Of our country as place
of settlement for the home-seeking immigrant.
Everything tending to induce capital to fow
hitherward for the development of our exten-
sive Coal Fields and rich Salt Springs will
receive that particular attention which it
deserves.
In politics, We shall pursue that course
which We believe justified by principles Of
Right and Justice, an6 which tends to Human
Progress, Universal Liberty, and the free
pursuit of Happiness by oil mankind.
The importance Of having . full and com.
plete local department We would not under
estimate, and We are again impelled to ask our
friends to aid US in this matter-give US
information of any thing transpiring in your
neighborhood We desire the UNION to be
perfect history of this locality.
As We are unable to reduce the price Of our
paper, and live by il, at the same time making
1t useful institution, We have concluded, in
view Of the mighty interests involved in the
present struggle, to so arrange our terms As to
give our friends an opportunity of extending
our circulation in their localities:
One year 50 numbersl 81 90
Six months [26 numbes] / 90
Ten copies, one year, Is 90
We will also give to the getter-up Of . club
We would appeal to our friends to aid US in
putting the UNION in the hands Of every man
in Western Kansas.

FROM THR KANSAS sRcom.
CAMP DRYwooD, Sept. Is.


Dear Unton :-Whenever the esprit
moves" you can expect line from me,
informing you of the condition and pros
poets of the Old Second. We are now
camped about ten miles southeast Of Fort
Scott, upon Little Drywood, a branch Of
the Usage, and not very far from the
locality where Lanes forces met the enemy
last fall.
Our hurried and tedious march to the
Cherokee country, our prompt return, and
our late rapid races after the enemy in Mis-
souri,, under our distinguished and daring
leader, Colonel Cloud, have shown to the
world that the Second is still +" live "regi-
ment, and have given the people increased
confidence in our fighting abilities. We
have also lately gained a new and very
appropriate appellation from the rebels,
which I hope will take the place of the
" Kansas Jay yhawkers," and become gener-
ally adopted, if the Kansas soldiers must
have nickname. 1t is that of the Kansas
/" "Greyhounds," given to US on account of
our Aeetness in pursuit. Whenever those
atrocious bloodhounds which infest this
God-forsaken State, place their eye upon
that little man with the eagle eye, long
flowing hair, and smiling yet stern counte.
nance. leading a few hundred determined
men, they look for moment, then hurried
|ly mount their stolen horses, and, in the
beautifully and impressive language OF
Missouri. "skedaddle.'
The four companies of our regiment that
have been across the plains have lately
returned, looking as healthy and hearty as
ever.
We have now two small brass howitzers
attached to our stock of fighting materials.
They are commanded by Lieut.. E. S. Slower.
A detachment of 100 men, accompanied by
our little brass war dogs, under the COM
maud of COL Cloud, left here several days
since upon q scout. We are all looking
anxiously for their return.
We are occasionally routed out at mid
night 6y the firing of the pickets, in true
soldier style, and fall into line expecting a
fight or humbug, and generally get the
latter article.
We are very much obliged to the people
of Junction City for their patriotic efforts
to send recruits to this and other reg giments,
and we hope other towns will 60 and do
likewise. Notwithstanding the vile reports
to the contrary, their is plenty of room for
more men in this regiment. Somr of
the companies have been recruiting very
rapidly of late.
We earnestly desire the rc-appearing OF
our long-lo brother, the Paymaster, and
expect him every day. We have a great
deal of affection for him until he disposes
of his large piles of "greenbacks," when
we don't care five cents whether school
keeps or not.
The Junction boys are all we'll. Slower
and Beates have gone with the howitzers i;
Tozier and Mac" are quietly reading the
New York Independent and the Tribune,
while others are engaged in the various
occupations of the soldier. We have ex-
pect to move South soon and have little
fighting, but like all other soldiers We don't
know; but if We do, YOU may expect q
report soon from BYRON.

Politics for the Crisis.

The President,as the commander OF the ar
my, has the right to free the slaves, and to
arm them if he thinks best, as legitimate acts
OF war. The constitution has not authorized
it, and the constitution has made no pro-
vision for a civil war. The President acts
TO preserve the constitution, and uses pow
er recognized in the laws of war among all
civilized nations. To attempt to arrest him
in this act. and to palsy his arm when raised
10 strike the blow, will be to throw the coun-
Try into utter confusion and to break down
the government. Hence we would under no
circumstances help to elect any man to Con-
gress who is not fully pledged to sustain the
President in this most important act, as well
as in his general war policy. And for the
same reason would We oppose any man who
countenances partisan plots and cabais against
the commanders whom the President has ell
trusted with the control of our armies. What
every loyal voter should demand as the frs,
and most essential condition of support to
any candidate for office, is supreme loyalty to
the governmental loyalty so entire that il
will forego private opinion and prejudice
when the attempt TO crafty them will endan.
ger popular unity in the war. upon which
now rests our only hope.-Sprin9feld Re.

No Peace with Rebels.

II is q fact of 10 little significance that
while the deceptive talk about peace i'll the
South comes from those who adhere to Sc
cesson and the independence of the confed-
eracy. similar talk at the North is only heard
among those who prefer the dissolution of
the Union to its restoration. unless the de-
struction of slavery is involved in the latter.
Mr. Forney, writing from Washington to the
Philadelphia Press in relation TO suggestions
of peace, says:
81 feel authorized to say that no act, or
word. or hint, of any member of MIR Lincoin's
administration, can be aulhoritatively point
ed out in favor of the proposition as set forth
in the Tribune, Or in support of other terms
suggested. There will be no peace with the
armed traitors that is not founded upon the
perpetuity and unity of this republic, land up
on submission to the federal authority on the
part of all the seeded States. If there is
one thing against which the President has
set his face like rock, it is that there can be
neither recognition of the rebellion, nor a
separation Of the Union. hold him to be
alike opposed to the men who desire recogni
ton in order that they may enjoy slavery q
mong themselves, and those who are willing
to concede separation i'll order that they ma.
get rid of slavery. Let Us well weigh thi'
word peace. All classes, North and South
loyal and disloyal, armed and unarmed, de
sire peace, but the largest class much mor'
desire the Union of these States. This clas
is SO earnestly devoted 70 this great idea tha
they can never surrender it. They know tha
peace that does not recognize the Unioi
and the constitution must be hollow truce

Daniel Webster in his Coffin.

We find the following account of the pri-
vate funeral of Col Fletcher Webster. and of
the inspection of his illustrious fathers re-
mains, in last weeks issue of The plymouth
Rock:
The tomb at Marshfeld once again opens
wide its portals to receive the last of the sons
of the Great Expounder.'
The funeral of Col Fletcher Webster took
place at his residence in Marshfeld on We'd
nesday, Sept. 10. The body was brought down
from Boston in a richly caparis med hearse
with four horses. by way of Hinghlm and
South Saoic Several coaene> cenvsved his
Boston friends from the Kingston DepO,
while large assemblage gathered from the
neighboring town. Rev. Mr. Alden, the vii
lage pastor, conducted the services Inc oody
resting on his fathers writing table in the
library, according TO his dying request. 4
large procession followed his body to the
tomb. where the coffin was deposited with the
the family who a nation mourns.
By request of Peter Harvey, Esq, and
others, the oaken box containing the great
statesman's coffin was opened, and the me-
tallic cover of the glass removed. How
were the feelings of those personal friends
stirred within them to find those iineaments
and features, which no man ever looked up
on to forget, retaining the same color and
impress-natural as when ten years ago they
gave him up to the grave.
The eyes were more sunken, but the heav,
shadows beneath the brows were AWAY.
. there in life. Even in death, and for q de
cade the captive of the grave, that kingl,
presence inspired the same deep reverenc,
and speechless awe as when in the living TEN
pie ofhis matchless mind Said one VIII,
looked upon his face again, i forgot all else
and can tell You nothing of the tomb or sur
rounding objects The velvet pail with ii
rich embroidery was in perfect preservation
though deprived of its primitive gloss.
In silence the lid was dropped and th
box reclosed. Farewell, thou great depart
ed, Earth's communion with thee is o'el
No more shall human eye behold that fac
over which thought and feeling once aashe
the light and shade of that imperial mind
Rest, noble statesman, with thy patriot sons
Thy memory still lives eushrined in a n5
tons admiration and gratitude"
