GOVERNOR MORTON.

We can only find room for the
following paragraphs from the able,
eloquent and convincing speech Of
Gov. Morton, of Indiana:
Now, fellow citizens, who made

in his Cabinet where the rebels could
put hands upon them. After tho

coins Inauguration, they began to

Acts Of secession were passed
and IA the States went ont they

to erect their batteries so as to beal
on Fort Sumter, in the harbor o
Charleston. After Lincoln's inang
ura,ion, the question came "wha'
shall be done-shall the nation be
surrendered to the enemy without q
struggle, or shall we make an effort
to proserve what our forefathers pur.
chased ut 80 great cost" The
voice Of the nation was that i,
should be preserved. Lincoln began
to take the frs. step, but before the
first ship arrived in the harbor the
batteries were opened, Fort Sumter
was reduced, and our flag was haul
ed down and dishonored, (cries o.
"no.") It was dishonered, wher

The nice little speech which Prof. Leard
made in favor of locating the State Univer-
sity at Emporia, and which we published
two weeks ago, was all upset by his voting
for Manhattan. If he had to be on both
sides of that question, as the people here
helped to elect him, we rather guess he
would have suited them better had he re-
versed the matter-given Manhattan the
speech and Emporia the vote. TIE vote
was the most important. The people have
little use for such doughfaces. We have
been Informed that P. B. Maxson also vo-
ted for Manhattan. If he did he voted
against his own interests, and those of the
county he was sent to represent.

A special to the Democrat says gentle
man who left Gen. Pope's command yester-
day, states that the rebels at New Madrid
have between 5000 and 10000 men and
four gunboats.
The town had been completely invested
by our forces. Some skirmishing had ia
ken place and several of our men have been
killed by shells from the rebel gunboats
when they came within range.
Our officers are con fident of an easy and
complete victory if the gunboats are driven
away.

forces are constantly skirmishing with Jeff.

men are captured daily.

A RAPID CAMPAIGN.-As an instance OF
what may be accomplished by rapid and en-
ergetic movements in military campaign,
we extract from Abbott's battle of the
Pyramids in the New York Ledger. New
Orleans is not more strongly defended than
was Grand Cairo, nor are the Black Horse
Cavalry of Virginia more to be dreaded
than the fiery Mamelukes of the East:
Allowing the troops one day to rest, and
to preserve the boundless wealth which was
found in the Oriental camp, the next day
Napoleon entered Cairo in triumph, and the
city with a population of 100000 bowed
peacefully to his sway. Thus, in eight
weeks, Napoleon sailed over sea 1000
miles in length, captured Malta, one of the
most formidable fortresses upon the globe,
took the city of Alexandria, containing
$4,000 inhabitants, by storm; marched
across the desert sixty miles to Cairo, fight
ing the Turks nearly all the way; assailed
the Turkish army, ousnumbering his own,
behind their Observation-Disclosures initiated
that army, and took undisputed possession
of the capital of Egypt. Such vigor might
well astonish the world. Napoleon con-
quered Egypt in eight weeks. with the loss
of but about two hundred men in killed and
wounded.

THIRTEEN Inch MoRTARs.-Half dozen
of these destructive inventions aOouLd be an
extremely efficient auxiliary to the Kansas
Southern Expedition. The Cairo CORE
spondent of the Democrat, speaking of NOR
tars and mortar boats. says:
We have been told;of an occurrence which
illustrates Gen. Lanes knowledge of NOR.
tars. A few weeks ago. when at Washing
ton, making arrangements for his Kansas
expedition, hearing much talk about the
thirteen-inch mortars which were being
made for service on the Mississippi, he ex
pressed to few of his friends who were
present, his purpose to get half dozen
and take along with him. The difficulty of
transporting them over the prairies was
suggested, but the General said he thought
that could be easily done; whsreupon he
was asked what he understood by thirteen
inch mortar. He replied that it was NOR
tar thirteen inches long. weighing about two
hundred and fifty pounds.
You can conceive the Generals disap-
pointment when told that thirteen-inch
mortar threw shell thirteen inches in d.
ameter, and aCe;ghed eighteen thousand pounds
-twentyfour thousand with the mortar
bed
