The Conservative alludes to our sugges-
ton to change the name of Breckenridge
county, and mentions the name Of the ven
cradle Judge Breck, of Richmond, Ken
lucky, as appropriate to take the place of
Breckenridge. Judge Breck has long been
on the Supreme Bench of that State, and
although he is now eeVenty-two years old i,
he is in actual service in the U. s. Army.
We only threw out the suggestion to change
the name of the county to see what the
people thought about it. We hav4 full
set of county seals, which cost the county
something, and then all our records and le-
gal papers bear the name of Breckenridge.
If the change will work any very serious
Inconvenience or cost, perhaps it had better
remain the way it is. But we reiterate, if it
can be done without trouble and cost, it
should be; and we believe three-fourths of
the people would so vote. They don't want
to perpetuate the memory of one Of the
meaness Rebels that ever disgraced Gods
footstool. About the new name there seems
to be difference. Our Forest Hill friends
think of circulating a petition to have it
called "Sigel," while others mention IS Ly-
on,'' Dayton Trumbull," etc. We
confess liking to the name suggested by
the Conservative, first, because it is short.
and second, because the name of the coun-
ty can be changed on the books. records,
and all legal papers. by simply taking pen
and striking out the last two syllables of
the present name inridge." The same
thing might be done with the county seals.
And then there is the appropriateness Of
the thing-throwing off the name of vile
traitor and assuming the name of patriot
from the same good old loyal State. who
loves his country, and is now fighting for
her liberty.

South Carolina Cotton.

On the 10th inst. 800 bales of sea islam
cotton were shipped on board the Mayflower,
at Beaufort, to be taken to New York. The
Government already have 3. 900 contrabands
engaged in picking and ginning cotton on
the islands, and have thus far secured about
Sc 600. 900 worth. Beaufort. which was
occupied by our troops on the 8th. was
reached just in time to prevent a large de-
struction of the crops by the Rrebels. The
latter. numbering about 1000 men. are
stationed FIVE miles inland, but dare not
venture to attack our men. Our forces are
strong enough, but cavalry are needed, and
company or two will speedily be extern
porized.

The Secretary of War has refused to lay
before the House the facts connected with
disastrous movements of our troops at Balls
Bluff, on the ground that the public service
would not be promoted by the facts. This
is queer. If the respon sibility was on Co.
lionel Baker, as General Stone charged in
his report, the facts can do nothing more
than show it, and there would be no reason
for suppressing them, after allowing the
publication of that report. If the respon-
sibility was not there, the people will lie
apt to think that the public service will bt
benefited by showing where it is. and may
suspect that it was in so higha quarter that
the Administration is reluctant to have ii
known.

The Conservative says that the number
of troops expected at Leavenworth soon is
twenty five thousand. Great activity pre-
walls in every department at the Fort. and
extensive preparations are making for their
arrival-which will probably be within five
weeks. This is good news for the owners
of corn and hay, as well as for all who wish
to see the triumph of the Union cause. In
telligence from Washington indicates that
this Western army is to be commanded by
Gen. Lane, and that it is intended for oper-
atoms in the Indian Territory.

STATE UNIVERSITY.

We understand the arrangements for the
location of the State University are all cut
and dried. and there is no use Of trying to
get it at any place except Manhattan. We
are aware tina: there has been much bargain
and sale to secure it at that point, notwith-
standing it is great distance west of the
center of the State. If the members vote
in accordance with the spirit of the Consti-
tuition. Emporia would stand better show
than any other town, because it is nearest
the center of the State. We hope the men,
bers from this district will do all in their
power to at least prevent its location at this
session. We do not need State Univer-
city for years yet, and this hot haste to
locate it on our western frontier may cost
the State thousands of dollars, because the
people will finally have it at some access
IDLE and central point.

The Emporia school commenced on Mon

dance at the opening, and we understand
the number has since been increased to one
hundred. Mr.. Foster is assisted by Miss
Abraham, of this place, and Miss Todd. oil

rienced teachers. During the past week
the scholars have all been taught in one
room-the Congregational church-but we
believe arrangements have been made to di-
vide the sch Dol into two branches. as it
should be. Emporia now has as good a
school as any village in the State, and we
hope it will not be stopped at the end of the
first quarter. 1t should be kept going at
least six months.
