FoRT SooTT, July Z. 1s62.-A messen.
ger, accompanied BY small escort, reach

esting intelligence, direct from the Indian
expedition.
He reports fight between portion o.
Col. Weer's command-the 9th Kansas

Grand Saline, 80 miles this side of Fort
Gibson.
The enemy were completely routed, with
the loss Of so killed, and 1o3 taken prison
ers. They numbered between $50 and 800
under the command of Col. Clarkson, whc
may be remembered by some of the ''old
est inhabitants" of Kansas, as Buchanan
office holder at Leavenworth City.
The 9th Kansas regiment, Col. Judsop

and killing number. The particular:

Much has been said about the enormous tdxes"
which the people of this county will have to pay
this fall on account of the war-the Shareholders

latihg among the country people, that their tax
es viii be double, or treble what it has hereto
fore been. and that to to keep up a. Republican
War. Let notthe honest people be deceived by
such stories. They are invented and put in cir

Of being one Of the most conservative poll.
siciaDs of the times, recommends the gov.
ernmet To-:
"Proclaim, at once, compensation 10 10y
al men, in the order which directs command.
ing officers to receive and employ "couira-
bands" and, he says, "ths war will assume
new and more encouraging aspects. With.
out the services Of slaves, in relieving their
troops from manual and mental labor. the
rebellion would collapse in month"
Commenting on this the Tribune says:
"We shall very soon have the Herald
demonstrating in favor Of this policy, and
perhaps laying claim to its invention. The
Express cautiously feels its way toward il
already. All but the Ben. Wood and Val

"Sir," said Mr.. Sumner, in closing his
recent eloquent plea for Cen6scation in the
Senate, ''the present Congress has already
done much beyond any other Congress 10
our history, to eutitle it to the gratitude OF
the Nation. Measures which for long years
seemed attainable only TO the most san
guine hopes, have triumpbed. EmaDcipa-
tion in the National Capital; Freedom in
all the national territories; the offer of ran
som TO help emancipation in the States;
the recognition Of Hayti and Liberia; the
treaty with Great Britian for the suppress
sion Of the slave trade; the prohibition Of
the return Of fugitive slaves by military
officers; homesteads for actual settlers on
the public lands; the Pacific Railroad; en-
dowments Of agricultural colleges out Of
public lands; such are some Of tho achieve
IDents BY which the present Congress will
be historic. Besides we have raised 40
army, and made inportsnt additions to our
navy and have provided means for all ouI
gigantic expenditures By tax, which is in
itself an epoch"
Tho Senator was right. The present
Congress has doubtless its weakness and il
faults; bat its record thus far is brighter
aud more hopeful than has been that Of any
Of its predecessors, since the earlier and
purer days Of the Republic; and it is no,
unnatural that, IS their work approaches
eomPlstipp, the members should point, will

cfwhat they have accomplished.

From washington.


WASHINGTON July l4-The following message
from the President was delivered to Congress to-
day:
Fs,lo,C- Citizens Of The Senate and House Of Rep
| resentdttves.
Herewith is draft of the bill to compensate
any State which may abolish slavery within its
limits, the passage of which substantially is pre-
sented. l respectfully and earnestly recon-
mended. [Signed]
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives ofthe United States of Ameri-
"a in Congress assembled That whenever the
President of the United States shall be satisfied
that any State shall have lawfully abolished sla-
very within and throughout such State either
Immediately gradually,
1t shall be the duty of the President assisted
by the Secretary of the Treasury, to prepare and
deliver to each State an amount of six per cent
interest bearing bonds of the United States
equal to the aggregate value at - dollars per
head of all the slaves within such State as re-
ported by the census Of 1860. The whole
amount for any one State to be delivered at once
If the abolishment be immediate or in equal an
nual installments if it begradual, interest to be-
gin running on each bond at the time of deliy-
Grey and not before.
And be it further enacted That If any State
having so received any such bonds shall at any
time afterwards by law re-introduce or tolerate
adjustment upon which such bonds shall have
been received said bonds so received by said
State shall at once be null and void, in whose
soeyer hands they may be, and which State shall
refund tothe States all interests which may have
been paid on such bonds.
The House Select Committee on Emancipation
in the Border States, viii probably report on the
subject tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, July l5.-The Navy De-
partment has information that the U. s..
steamer Flag aud the bark Restless, captur-
ed on the 9Th of Balls Ray, the British
steamer Emily, formerly the VIM. Seabrook
Of Charleston. Her invoice shows an assor-
ted cargo of $21, ,573, but there is reason to
suppose there are old arms, Confederate
bonds and specie on board; also the U. S.
steamer Quaker City, when of the "Hole
in the WALL" on the Sd inst, captured the
brig DeIilah, from Liverpool with cargo OF
saltpetre, drugs copper and other articles
also, that on the I'd inst, tho schooner
valiante, was captured in Wingate Bar.
WAsHNeroE, July l5.-The CoDfsca-
ton bill has not yet been returned to Con
lgress with the Presidents approval. 1t is
generally thought his request for prolon-
lgatioD Of the Senate has reference to that
measure. There is some hesitancy 10 sign.
ing the act. A report has been circulated
today that the President is preparing a
veto message, while another rumor among
IpoIiticans IS that be viii suggest modi6ca,
Itions Of the bill. In either event, there is
mo doubt, judging from the large majority
IIby which il was passed, namely, Of two
thirds in the Senate and nearly so ia ibe
House, that Congress will not adjourn
without securing a measure Of that char
actor.

The meeting at Birchard Hall Tuesday even
ing was attended by so'pe 400 Of the sober, earn
est supporters Of our Government. DIR. Raw
son. the Chairman of the Military Committee,
presided. Judge Greene and II. W. Winslow,
Esq, addressed the meeting in earnest patriotic
language.
Mr. White, being called for came directly and
squarely to the business Of the evening. He
slid in snbstanccr-aOne Of two things are GER
tain. We must raso the 100000 mei 10 rein
force our army that the President calls for, oil
we must acknowledge the Southern OonEedera-
cy. This is the direct and certain issue. Our
present nesting iscalled to encourage the en-
lHtment of the l72'men apportioaed 10 SandHs-
Ky county. 1t is all important that this be
done at once. We may look the thing squarely
in the face, and when We doit we discover what
wiz be the certain effect upon all business un-
hess we succeed. Your lots and houses, and
farms, and all property here will not be worth
90 per cent. on the dollar after the Confedeaacy
shall have been acknowledged As 6Wsincss
matter then, we are all interested 10 put down
the rebellion. l speak with perfect knowl-
edge of what ! am saying; rather than have the
rebellion secured, Iwould rather expend every
dollar of which am possessed, aud begin the
world anew" "a si..a a
After other like practical and telling words,
he moved that the Military COMMITTEE call on
the friends of the cause in the County to raises
fund to encourage the enlisting of recruits, anC
for the support of the families Of those who shal
join our national army. The meeting then ad
joarned. Is
OF the justice of the proposed aid to the fam.
lies Of those who shall enlist, there can be nc
doubt. The soldiersJg for us all. Their pri.
vations and sufEerings are great; and, though tn,
pay is better than in any other army, it is moth
ing to the risks and the perils incident to war
Itisthen meet that those who stay at home anc
share in the benefits of the soldiers earnest
work without its dangers should contribute to-
wards the fund which shall help to make the
families Of those comfortable who 60 at the call
Of the country and fight for us cur battles. We
