COOP JOKE ON THE "ExsIeN."-We
must tell . good one on Stebbins. of the
Atchison Champion. The other day, q
red-hot old Union friend of ours, from
the back country. came to us, wanting to
know what style of . Union man that
editor in Atchison. Stebbins, was. His
story ran thus: He had been on . trad.
ing trip to Atchison. and an acquaintance
had introduced, him to Stebbius, who
went about town with him to the stores
recommending him rs true Union man
But before leaving bis Office. Stebbin.
had givien him q copy of paper, telling
him be was editor of it, and that his sen.
timents would be found in its columns
After arriving home. he sat down to read
the paper, but found that the editor had
been hypocritical in his professions. fol
the paper was the dirtiest kind of Demo
cratic, and he called it traitor sheet. W.
could not believe this. as we knew Steb.
bins and bis paper better than that; when
to convince Us, our friend hauled ont t5s
paper. and 10 I! We beheld the Atehisos
Onion The only way we could account
for tho mistake was this: The letters in
the heading Of the Champion and Union
are exactly alike. and the Union happen.
ing to get placed among the spare copies
Of the Champion. and the manner in
which it was folded only showing the las,
three letters, ION, in the heading, the edit.
or handed it ont as his own, without ex.
amining it!
MoRAL.-Stsbbins, hereafter look at 9
paper more carefully. before you hand il
ont and indorss it % your own, or you
will soon ruin your character

Revelations are constantly being made.
which tend 10 strengthen the belief which
We have found it impossible to get rid OF.
that the prosecution and conviction OF
the State officers. whether. guilty or inno-
cent. was not commenced nor carried ont
with any regard for justice or honesty.
Guilty they may have been. bat that their
conviction was the result Of gambling.
trading. and bribing. We have no doobt.
Some sweet revelations are being made
in the progress of . quarrel now going
on between the Topeka Tribune and Rec
ord. J.F. Cummings makes some start
ling statements. which We believe to be
true. Before the decision in the case of
Secretary Robinson, G. K. Hollidsy. Of
Topeka, offered to vote against his con-
victiou, for the sum Of $1,000! His
vote would have turned the scale. Cum
mings also accuses Hollilsy Of other in
stances Of bribery and ballot-box ssumng'
When we recollect that. after being one
of the bead men in organizing tbs Re
publican party. Holiday sold il out and
went over to the Democrats, upon the
pitiful plea that be wanted to secure the
Democratic support in favor Of Topeka
for the State Capital. wecan believe him
capable of anything mean. Yet be is
an aspirsnt for the Governorship. and
men who call themselves Republicans. are
scheming for his success.
Holidays case is but q single one in
the impeachment proceedings. We have
no doubt, if everything were revealed.
things would come to light which would
make every citizen Of the State blush,
and would throw the Bond Swindle SO
far into the shade. that it would not
again be mentioned.

Volume Six.

This number Of the Chief is the hrst OF
tbe Sixth Volume. We Issued the 6rst
number on the FIRST day Of June. 1857.
During the Eve years past. We have mis-
sed Eve issues. thus throwing the begin.
ing Of the volume into July However.
these failures occurred during the first
wear or two, and we have not missed .
single issue for almost three years. which
can be said Of precious few papers in the
Western country.
During the past five years. We have had
much uphill work to get along. and At
times have barely escaped going under.
But We have mdnaged to weather through.
and now. We are happy to say. our pat
ronsge and prospects are better than at
any previous period. and the future be-
gins to wear more cheerful aspect. How
ever, We can yet bear . considerable
amount of patronage. for great deal is
required to render printers life easy and
smooth-going.
Since our first issue, the Chief has out
lived thirteen newspapers in Douiphsn
County. While others existed for br ef
season. and then disappeared beneath the
waves of adversely. the Chief has kept
steadily on. battling for the good cause.
and for the interests of this section Of the
State. But We have vivid remembrance
of the trials, tribulations. sacrifices. la5ors
and deprivstions through which the pa
per has kept up.
When We came here. Doniphsn Coun-
ty was in the hands Of the Border Rufians.
Every County officer and member Of the
Legislature was Q Border Ruffian. Since
that time. the Free State and Republican
parties have not been defeated in single
regular election. They have occasional
ly lost some of the Offices. but have a.
ways elected . majority of their candi-
dates; and now, every County Office is
filled by Republican or Union man.
However, we DO not claim that this has
been our work, but that we were one Of
those who at the beginning enlisted for
the war. and have fought it through.
But there is one point upon which we
feel . self-satisfaction. In all our ups
and downs. struggles and hardships. we
have always said just what We thought;
and have never in single instance advo.
Gated for pay, any measure. principle or
policy Of which we did not conscientious
ly approve.
In conclusion, we will remark that the
Chief still goes ahead. By giving the
latest and most reliable news, advocating
the best interests of Northern Kansas, and
at all times speaking out in meeting.
we hope for continued and increased pat
ronage from those who believe we are

NleaERs vs.. WHITE MEN.-The fol-
lowing is q specimen of current literature
Possibly" says the Louisville Jour-
nal. "whire folks may be able to get somt
little legislation out Of Congress after the
nigger has been duly served"
This is the sort Of stuff We see,in print
daily. and is very frequently said in ear
nest, by even srch sensible papers as tht
Louisville Journal. Slavery has showr
itself to be a curse wherever it exists
and an incubus upon the energies, enter
prise, intelligence. and moral and social
progress of the people who dwell in it
midst. This Congress has taken long
strides towards eradicating the evil which
has almost destroyed the country. and
which has brutalized one-third of The
population. II q municipal government
during the prevalence of smallpox,
should pass an ordinance compelling the
citizens to be vsccinated, would it BE-
called legislation in favor of the small.
pox ? or would it be for the public ben.
eft? In the midst of season Of yellow
fever. cholera. or other epidemic. when
cities pass laws obliging the people to
employ disinfecting agents. and to take
other precautionary measures, what would
be thought Of the fool or demagogue.
who should keep up continual bleating
against these measures, as being legisla.
tion for the epidemic. to the neglect ol
the citizens? This is precisely the posi-.
tion of the Slavery question.

The War.
The telegraph, like the white man. is
often mighty uncertain" There is
frequently Is much difference between
6rst and subsequent reports Of battles. -
there is between victory and defeat. The
stuff about McClellsn's army retreating
seventeen miles. destroying all its siege
guns. having its supplies cut of. and all
that. turps out to have been the complet-
est humbug.
The Federal army made no retreat.
Mcclellan had determined to change his
base Of operations. BY flank movement,
which was extremely hazardous. and
while this change was in progress. the
rebel attack was made. There had been
almost continuous fighting for ten days,
and the enemy were defeated every day.
With dreadful loss. But one siege gun
wss lost, and that one broke down. No
supply trains were captured or cut Oh.
but q train of cars containing commisssry
stores was precipitated of Of . burning
railroad bridge, and few wagons were
burned to facilitate the movements Of
artillery. A few cannon were captured
BY the enemy. bat they were more than
made good by the number captured from
them. Some of our sick and wounded
fell into their hands. bot fully IS many
of theirs fell into our hands. besides .
large number Of abls-bodied prisoners ia
ken from them. They also lost many
stands of colors. and finally retreatsd in
the completest disorder.
The Union loss will probably reach
20, 900, while the rebels acknowledge .
loss of 80, 900. among whom are Stone
wall jackson and R. Barnwell Rhett kill
ed. and Gen. Longstrect wounded. An
officer who processes to have had the
means Of knowing. insists that the rebel
loss is rs, 900. or fully one-half Of their
entire force. This estimate seems too
large. The rebels refuse to receive flags
Of truce. or to give the Federals any op-
portunity to ascertain their true condi-
ton. which is thought to be deplorable.
Prisoners assert that the rebel officers
maddened their troops with wbiskey, to
render them desperate. and in this codi
ton pushed them mp on the Federal bay
onets and artillery. regardless of life. and
caused them to be slaughtered by hun
dreds and thousands.
Mysterious movements are rumored as
taking place in the rebel camp at Rich
mond. and some express the belief that
the city will be evacuated, and desper.
ate rush made upon Washington. by way
Of the Shenandoah Valley. But they
will find forces prepared to receive them.
The flower of the Southern army. in.
cluding q great portion of Beauregsrd's
forces, was at Richmond, and has been
cut to pieces. The city is doomed, and
its fall is not many days distant.
Mcclellan is receiving heavy reinforce
ments, and it is said Burnside is prepared
to cooperate with him.
A battle has taken place in Mississippi.
in which 700 Federal Cavalry defeated
4 500 rebels.
The report that Vicksburg had fallen,
was premature but we are prepared to
hear of the event occurring any day.
1t is said that Gen. Butler has deter
mined to make an inland town of Vicks-
burg. and has set large number of ne
groes to work. cutting a channel for the
