Jim Lime. of Kansas.

With the occasional good signs from
Washington, we have Others that are
desperately bad. One Of the latter
class is the appointment Of Jim Lane,
Of Kansas, to head an army, which, ac-
cording to correspondent of the New
York Tribune, he is to govern and con-
duct ACCORDING TO HIS OWN PRINCIPLES.
This army is to go south into Arkansas,
Texas, &c. What Lane'sprinciplcs Of
warfare are, has been told by Gov.
Robinson, of Kansas, who in publish
ed letter a few months ago, declared
that Lanes warfare was theft, robbery
and murder, and that all classes ofeom~
munity were sufferers from his outrages.
Such q man, thus characterized by a
Governor of his own party, may terrify
as a bandit, but will reflect no credit
on the armies of nation protesting to
be civilized.-7 Newark Advocate.

An Old News,,ape

The Chillicothe (O.) Gozette has been ia
vored with copy ofthe New England Week
ly Journal printed at Boston and dated Mon.
day, april 9th, 1923, near ly one hundred and
tsirty.lou years ago. Il is about the size Of
a half sheet Of writing paper and except in
the color Of the paper, which is light
brown, will compare iavorably in typographi
cal appearance with many journals Of the
present day. Its latest news from Europe is
dated Nov. l6, 1927, being nearly five months
old. In the columns devoted to advertising
are the following:
6rA very likely Negro Woman who can
do House Work, and is fit for either town or
country service, about az years Of age. For
sales inquire Of the Printer hereof
ora very likely negro girl, about l3 or IA
years Of age, speaks good English, has been
in the country some years, to be sold.
Wouldn't it be well for Charles Sumner or
Henry Wilson to give the descendants Of
those who adver tised as above, a lecture on
the "barbarism of slavery?" Doubtless the
children or the grond children Of the very
persons who, in 1873, advertised "a very
likely negro woman" and "a very likely ne
gro girl" for sale, in the city OF Boston. are
to day ranting rabid Abolitionists. and in fa'
vor Of converting the war into a grand eman-
cipation machine.

Mill Spring. II was fair. open battle. The
rebels fought we'll and were overcome only by
superior fighting on our side.
According TO rebel accounts their force con-
sisted OF ten infantry regime pnts, three batter
les and some cavalry altogether about ten
thousand men. They fought in bushwhack.
ing style from rayines and behind trees, bush
es and rocks.
The brunt Of the battle devolyed on the
Fourth Kentucky, Second Minnesota, Ninth
Ohio and Tenth Indiana.
For nearly three hours the roar OF musk
etry was kept up.
Shortly alter II o'clock Col Haskins sue
ceeded in hanking the enemy on the extreme
right, when the Ninth Ohio and Second
Minnesota charged with the bsyonet with
yells, which broke the rebel rauks, and the
route began. They fed pellmell to their
camp, strewing the road with rDuskets. blan.
kets, overcoats, and knapsaoks, and abandon
ed two guns and caissons.
ZolIicofTer was shot through the heart, at
the head Of his staff, by Col. Fry, of the
Fourth Kentucky. II appears that Zollicoff-
or lost his way in the bushes, and suddenly
emerged before Col. Fry, who was accompan
led by some staff officers. The two parties
mistook each other for friends and approach :

finding their mistake, both halted and pre-

Tb, Emauc,pa,ion question.

Mr., Wadsworth, a member Of Con-
gress from Kentucky, made a speech
week before last in reply to the abolition
emancipation notions which have been
so frequently advanced since t.he pres
ent session of Congress began. lie
paid his respects, particularly, to Thad-
deus Stevens, Julian and Bingham. The
speech Of the Kentucky member was
one Of the ablest of the session, COM
manding, during its delivery, the undi-
yided attention of the House. lie de-
clared that if the emancipation party
succeeded in their schemes, the border
States we're lost, and that all hopes of a
restoration of the Union were ended.
In reply to Bingham's argument that
Congress has power, under the Consti-
tuition, to emancipate slaves, he said
that "No powers could be exercised un-
less expressly granted or plainly dedu-
ced from that instrument. Emancipa-
ton was a foregone conclusion with
Mr.. Bingham, who had to sustain his
position 5y arguments however falli-
cious. Those who charge that Kentucky
wants to dictate, and has as many SOL
diers in the rebel ranks as in those of
the Union, misread history. She has
not in the former five thousand, while
in the latter she has thirty thousand,
1t was vile SANDER on the people of
the country to say they could not put
down the rebellion, and hence he pre-
suned the necessity to employ blacks
for this purpose. The rebellion can be
quelled if we are not divided; but if
emancipation be the declared policy,
fifteen instead of eleven States will be
placed in rebellion, while many from
the free States will lay down their arms,
unwilling to be partners to so unjust
and unconstitutional a policy. He ap-
pealed to the gentlemen to stand like a
wall around the constitution, and in a
fraternal spirit unite for the preserva-
ton of the country from the dangers
which now surround it.

Ie,ter from CoIoueI NTcCOOk

The Cincinnati Holksbldh has the following
letter from Col. RoBERT L. MCCooK, of the
Ninth Ohio Regiment:
CAMP HAMILTON, KY, Jan. 2l, '62.
10 GiIstdvus Tafel Esq:
DEAR FRIEND--lt is my painful duty TO
communicate to you that your brother Hugo,
who was shot in the battle which took place
on Sunday last, died at 10 O'Clock the same
night.
lie fought like man and soldier who is
worthy Of his name, his country and his regi.
ment.
Gustavus, you have, through this death
lost an affectionate brother and good man.
You should rejoice that he who fell was your
brother. II is needless to tell you that we
all regret the loss OF your brother, and that
we sympathize with you and your family
This is doubtless slight consolation to you.
Your brother was shot in the lower portion
OF the chest and he suffered great pain. 1t
was impossible to preserve his body; he bled
inwardly, and we were compelled to bury
him. His corpse lies in o splendid place
where we have also buried the others who
fell A befitting monument will mark the
spot where lie his mortal remains.
Now to the battle itself. Had you seen
how our boys attacked the Mississippi "Ti.
gers" with the bayonet, and put them to
fght, you would feel proud that you were a
member Of this regiment.
Capt. Joseph was wounded in the fesliy
portion Of his leg. received severe wound
in the leg below the knee. hope the leg
is but slightly injured. Had left the field
Immediately, it would perhaps have been bet
ter for me. Iremained in the field, however
and pursued the en- envy, at the head Of my
brigade, a distance Of twelve miles, Of which
! was compelled to make three miles on fool
IN an ankle. deep morass
MY horse received three wodnds from
shots, one ball passed through my overcoat
and the fifth struck me in the leg. You viii
see from this that we were in the midst o
o frey shower OF balls. Lieut.. Burt, one o
my adjdtants, was also wounded.
/ We pursued and drove the enemy behind
his entrenchments, and captured about on,
hundred field tents, one hundred and fiftl
wagons, twelve canpoDs, one thousand hor
ses and mules, and a mass Of arms and am
munition. Zollicofer is dead. You Cal
scarcely form any idea OF the extent Of hi
intrenchments. We killed large numbe
Of the enemy. Many Of them still lie deaf
upon the battle field.
Respects to Stallo and Henry.
Your friend,
ROB'T L. McCOOK.

sGy~ The first collision, says the
Chicago Times, in the grand forward
movement is complete success OF the
Union arms. The defeat of Zollicoffer
was a route. If this be an augury of
what is to follow, a happier one could
not be desired. The effect will be most
inspiriting upon our soldiers everywhere
and most depressing upon the rebel
soldiers and rebel cause everywhere
Gen. Mcclellan some time agopredicted
no more defeats, and it will turn out,
we are confident, that he was using no
idle words. While the abolition leaders
and journals have been employed In
seeking to destroy public confidence in
him has been employed in the literal
fulfllment Of his prediction. He has
consummatcd his gigantic plans, and
has permitted no attempt to force him
into precipitance, to compel him to
move until he had completed his plans.
He has been laboriously and patiently
cultivating the tree, albeit of slow
growth sometimes, ,whichis is now about to
bear fruit: Few, perhaps none know thu
labor he has done and the embarrass'
ments he has surmounted, all the while
that abolitionism has barked at his heel
but we shall all soon behold the pro
ducts of that labor.

For the Sentinel.
Mr.. EDTToR.-- Having seen an arithmetical
question for solution, in your last weeks is-
sue, have taken the responsibility of giving
it an answer. will first give the rule, then
the solution.
Rule-Find the cost OF the number Of
acres at the difference between the prices
per acre, subtract this from the amount paid
for the whole land; square the remainder,
and add to the square the cost of the number
of acres at the difference of the prices per
acres multiplied by four times the sum paid
by him who paid least per acre; extract the
square root Of the sum, add to the root the
remainder that was squared, and divide the
sum by twice the given number Of acres.--
The quotient will be the price per acre. paid
by him who paid least per acre. Having
this, every other requirement is easily found.
Solution.-A pays S2,443 per acre and re.
ceives 1928 acres. B pays $l,693 per acre
and receives 177.2 acres.
[Ths operation has been omitted for lack
of appropriate type.
Having gwen, as think, satisfactory So
lutivn to this question, submit the Dllow-
ing:
A sold his farm to for $4,000 on eight
years credit. and bearing six per cent. inter-
est from date. A is to have one eighth down
every year, and no more. How much must
D pay yearly so as to pay just one eighth OF
