Marion County,

Mr. T. McIntire, of Forest Hill, and R. Y.
Glenn, of this vicinity, have just returned from
tour to Marion county, where they had been look
ing for home under the Homestead law. They
are highly pleased with the country. and the lat
Ter named gentleman will remove there immedi-
ately They found plenty of good land, and an
enterprising, Industrious community. near the
center of the county, on Clear and Muddy creeks,
near their junction with the Cottonwood, and
about fifty miles west Of here. Clear and Muddy
creeks are watered with splendid springs, which
Gd not fail even in the memorable year 1860.
The country is rich, and abounds with wild fruits
ndgame. Marion county has the advantage of
this, in point Of markets-the Santa Fe road pass
ing through it. The settlers readily sell their
grain. and oil kinds of produce, at good price.
At Moore's Rancho, fifteen miles from the settle
ment which these gentlemen visited, corn was
bringing 81 per bushel, and all kinds of vegeta-
bles in proportion. weekly mail runs from
Cottonwood Falls to Beach Valley, passing
through the settlements in Marion county. We
are informed that post Office will soon be estab-
lished at the residence of Mr.. Billings. which will
accommodate a large number of people. The
county will undoubtedly be organized this fall
and the wheels of county government set IN mo-
ton. Those looking for homes cannot do better
than to go to NJ orris county before settling.

THE w A r.
The Battle of South Mountain.

The battle which occurred at South Noun
tain was not mere incident of the pursuit of
the retrealing rebel army. The rebels had
chosen the mountain as atfording the best
possible advantages for defence, and the at
tack upon them was deliberately planned and
executed with great gallantry. The Union
troops were organized and put in position for
the attack under the direction of Gen Nc
Clellan. We quote an account Of the battle
from the correspondence of the New York
Times -
The early position of the Union army, OF
where the line of battle was first formed, was
on a piece of rising ground on the right and
left of the main road between Bolivar and
the mountains. AS the day advanced and
our forces moved forward, the position was
changed, but never for the better. The
nearer We approached the mountains, the
more successfully could the enemy bring his
artillery to bear on our columns. The battle
commenced with artillery at am, Robert
sons Us. battery of four light field pices fir
ing the first shot. A heavy cannonading
then ensued, but as usual In artillery duels
little damage was effected on either side. \,
10 am. the enemy withdrew his pieces on the
left and right of the Gap and worked princi
pally with those i'll the Gap. A half an houl
later all of the enemy's guns were silent, bu
upon the moving of Cox's division soon aftel
to the edge Of the woods on the side of the
mountain at the left, the rebels again pro
duced their pieces at the right Of the Gap

was now brought up to the support of Ro
bertson's, and concentrating fire was pour
ed into the Gap, many of the shells bursting
directly over the rebel guns. At first thu
enemy threw solid shot, but after a while
changed the projectile to shell. Three time
during the day the rebels were forced tt
change the position of their pieces, and lat
in the afternoon their guns were silent alto
gether.
By IL o'clock Cox's division had arrived a

down on the block, but could not force down
the frightful yell that rose above the crack of
the guillotine snd the huzzas ofthe populace.
In that horrid shrek died out the Reign of
Terror and it was fitting that he who sound
ed its tocsin should utter its death-knell.
Last evening the Place de la Concorde was
trodden by at least half.million spectators
of the gorgeous illumination. Those only
who have seen Paris can have any conception
Of the fairy spectacle. Imagine the whole
front Of all the public edifces on the central
square of Paris blazing with lines of living
light; imagine the fountains playing over
globes Of fire the vast Champs:Elysees filled
in every tree and shrub with full twenty
thousand Chinese lanterns of crimson and
purple and golden hues; and then back of
all the Vesuvius of ascending rockets and
Gre-streamers from the banks of the Seine !!
For FIVE hours the magnificent display went
forward with ever-varying splendors. 'Ah,

Astounding Revelations.

Some time since, two notorious characters,
named Johnson and Shehan, were arrested in
Galena, III, on an alleged charge Of treason,
and sent to Fort Lafayette. A few days ago
several loyal persons were sent by the same
authority to the same place. on the charge of
having advertised to procure substitutes for
such persons as might be drafted. Presum-
ing that all who were sent to Fort Lafayette
were traitors, Johnson opened his mind to
Mr. Ballard, one of the latter mentioned per-
sons. who after hearing the plot described be-
low, informed police superintendent Kennedy
concerning the matter, who instigated a
search and found paper on Johrson's per-
son identifying him with the secret order
known as the Knights of the Golden Circle.
Mr. Ballard has made affidavit to the state
ments made to him johnson, and among them
the following:
"He Uohnson) said the NoRTHwE wEsTERN
STATES WERE TO BE INVADED, THE SOUTHERN
CONSTITUTION TO BE PROCLAIMED, and the free
navigation of the Mississippi profered That
on this being done, the people, cho rere or
ganized and prepared for 1t, WOULD RISE, cut
loose from the Yankees, and, if necessary to
put down opposition, THE WHOLE NORTH
WOULD RUN WITH RIVERS OF BLOOD. While
he gave utterance to the foregoing words, he
accompanied them by illusions to organize
tions being in existence to Gerry out the plan.
He also stated that when he was arrested
large numbers from the surrounding country
called on him and offered rescue, but that
he advised them to leave the whole matter to
him, that the time had not yet arrived for
them to act, but that it would surely come.
