William A. Phillips.

L. Dwight Thacher, Esq, writes an arti-
Gle IN the last Lawrence Republican, the
material parts of which are given below:
The sentiment of the interior, SO far as
we can Judge, is rapidly settling upon Col.
William A. Phillips, as the most suitable
candidate for Governor, at the present juno
ture of local and national affairs. The eyes
Of the people instinctiyely turn to him as
the man for the times. His qualifications
are, first, business capacity He is an en-
ergetic, persevering, capable man, who will
devote himself unreservedly to the prosper
ity of the State. Secondly, he is man OF
unimpeachable integrity, both in private
and public life. A temperate, virtuous man,
as to his private character, he is the impla-
cable foe of all corruption and dishonesty
in the conduct of public affairs. Under his
administration we might expect the interests
of the State to be guarded, its credit M ain :
tanned, and its prosperity enhanced. Third
~, he is sound Requirement. policy
man, not a temporizer, not trimmer or
trickster. He is an original anti-slavery
man upon principle. He enjoys the conf
dence of the leading Republicans of the
nation, as is evinced by his honorable posi-
ton on the National Republican Committee.
Fourthly, he is thoroughly identified with the
interests Of our State, and has been zeal
ious, untiring laborer for the welfare of Kan
fsas since its organization as Territory.
Filthy, his services and qualifications have
never received their due recognition. It
Las been the policy of prominent politicians
both factions of the party to keep him in
ne back ground, and so, while Lane, Pom
eroy. Robinson, Conway and Parrot have
each been rewarded for their services,
Phillips, to whose voice, pen and labors Kan
sas is as much or more indebted than to
those of any man living, has hitherto gone
unrecognized. This has been due, not to
any want of appreciation on the part of the
people. but to the intrigues of politicians,
and to the fact that Phillips has never pushed
his claims. He has been content to labor
and bide his time. Sixthly, if elected,
Phillips will be no mans tool. There need
be no fear that our State policy would be die
tated from Washington. He will have his
own poliey-a straightforward, hon est,
consistent, high-toned policy, which will be
an honor to himself and to the State.

Lanes Proclamation.


Gen. Lane has come home, and has is
sued the following proclamation, which ex-
plains itself:
OFFICE OF REcRUITING COMMISSIONERS,
Department of Kansas,
Leavenworth City. Aug. 4th, 1869.
To the loyal men Of Kansas, Nebraska, COL
or0do and Dakota:
The Government is engaged in raising
an army that will ensure the suppression of
the rebellion, and the aid of every loyal
man is invoked for the accomplishment of
this object.
Experience has shown that the lenient
policy pursued will not win the insurgents
| back to their allegiance nor disarm the trail
| tors. The Government is fully aroused to
this stern reality. Ea
The conviction exists in the minds of
the people that nothing but aOar-real, ear
nest war-can be availing, and the Nation
al authorities are responding to this con-
viction of the people.
Acting upon this policy, the Government
| has authorized me to organize an army In
| this Department, and in the name of that
Government call upon every loyal man to
aid me in the work.
| WILLIS established at convenient points
within the limits of this Department, and
supplies of arms and aceouterments, cloth
ing. camp equipage and subsistence will
be furnished.
Everything necessary to the complete
equipment of the forces will be promptly
and fully supplied. Every volunteer will
receive the bounty of $25, and one month s
advance pay, upon being mustered into the
service. Those who join this army will
designate the men who shall command them.
These forces will be used for the defense
of this Department; while the armies of
the North and East will be marched to meet
the rebels upon their own soil, no troops
can be sent here for our protection. We
must rely upon the organized forces now in
this Department and suck<as can be raised
among ourselves. The Government will
provide munitions of war-the MEN we
must furnish.
1t is expected that the State and Terrific
rial Governments will earnestly cooperate
with the Representative of the General
Government in his patriotic work, and that
every loyal heart will swell with chivalric
enthusiasm in the holy cause.
The Nation is struggling for its existence.
The noblest institutions ever established
amongst men are in peril. An herculean
effort is being organized to avert this ca
lamity All over the teeming, loyal States,
the people are rising. Their treasure is
poured out like water and their best lives
are being pledged to Victory.
Shall we not, then, stand by the old flag,
in defense of our hearth stones and family
affairs I do not say to you GO, and per-
form this great work, but do say to you
COME and join the host marshalling for
the conflict. Where duty leads l will be
with you. Rally then, our Country calls

A detachment of infantry and cavalry
from NJ Clellan's army made reconnois-
sance down the Chickahominv and came to-
wards Williamsburg till they met our pick
cts, when they returned. They report they
had not seen the enemy.
1t is rumored and believed here that the

Darling. One thing is authentic, that the
Federal gunboats have passed up the river
beyond Harrison's Landing.
Last night the rebels opened fire on Nc
Clellan's center for about an hour and half
from batteries of flying artillery opposite the
landing above and below. Not one-third of
their shells exploded. Several vessels were
struck by fragments of shells but no one in
the feet was injured. Nine soldiers were
killed and three wounded. After half an

in less than forty minutes the rebels w

DESTRUCTION OF OLD DEMAND NoTEs-
Few persons are aware of the amount of old
demand notes destroyed daily at the Treas
ury Department. Some days $500, 900
worth are destroyed, on others 100000
and one day last week 10000 worth
were burned up by order of Mr.. Chase.
In this way the old demand notes are rapid
ly going tout of print" while new ones
will take their place. For the last few weeks
the volume.o of government paper currency
has been decreasing, while the public seem
10 have got the idea that it was being large
ly increased. Should the specie panic con-
tinus it is quite probable that Mr.. Chase
will not issue more treasury notes, except
ing the smaller denominations for the con
venience Of paymasters. That portion of
the depreciation in Government paper which
arises from fear of further inundation Of
the same currency is needless, for it is yet
uncertain whether any such issue will be
made, at least to any great extent. The
Secretary of the Treasury does not overlook
the condition of the money market, and he
will not add to the present troubles if he

do not claim to have accomplished much.
On the contrary, allege that it is not in the

or the public in his first term of service in
the House OF Representatives. His first
term is but his apprenticeship; it requires
second to prove his reality, and enable him
to fully depoRstrate his resources. | have

I therefore ask for reelection; confident
that with the generous support of my con-
sttuency-that ripened by experience, and
animated by an unfaltering zeal to serve my
country and my fellow men-I shall, in the
end, merit the distinction which never fails
to be ultimately bestowed upon tried and
