MnIrARY.-In this weeks issue will
be found On extensive assortment of mill
tary orders. relating to the appointment
of Gen. Lane to the recruiting service in
Kansas. and the appointment by him OF
Col. Leland to recruit in this District.
We commend this matter to the especial
attention of the fighting men who yet re-
main in Kansas. Government has deter
mined to raise men enough to crush out
the rebellion at once. which is demanded
both by the public welfare at home, and
the growing foreign feeling in favor Of
Intervention. Kansas must furnish her
share: and if they do not volunteer at
once. drafting will be resorted to. There
is not man but would prefer voluntary
enlistment to the humiliation of being
drafted to serve his country. One or the
other must be done speedily.

INDEPENDENcE TAKEN.-Independence
No.. has been captured by guerrillas un.

forces. numbering Eve companies, wers
surrendered. after several hours resistance
by Col. Buell. and Maj. Breckinrlge
Some 300 new mimic muskets and 200..
600 rounds of fixed ammunition were
captured. It is claimed that the Union
troops could have held the place. but that
Buell. is himself traitor. and surrendered
without csuse; and that Maj. Breckinliige
after his capture. hurrahed for JEFF. Davis
This is fair sample Of the officers geL.
orally throughout Missouri. who have
been placed over Union troops.
Col. Burris has gone from Fort Leav.
inworth. with troops and artillery, in
pursuit Of the guerrillas. A number ol
companies have also gone from the ada.

PoLIrIcAL 1t is anus
ing to witness the maneuvres of the
friends of the several candidates for Con.
gress and Governor in this State. Their
disinterestedness is refreshing to contem.
plate. The Lawrence Republican is run.
ming Conway for Congress and of course
it would be a master stroke to get the
Governorship upon some Leavenwortl
man. Therefore. the Republican makes
a formal declaration in favor of Thomas
Carney for Governo-, with the consent Of
the latter. The Conservative is backing
A. G.. Wilder for Congress. and therefore
looks with much favor npon either Col.
VIM. A. Phillips or G. w. Collamore
for Governor. Who wonld have believ-
ed that either Lawrence or Leavenworth
would ever thus magnanimously yield all
claim to the Governorship. and each IN
sist that the other should take it? In
the meantime. the Conservative and Re-
publican. the two hottest Crawford pa
pers when tool was wanted to expert
ment with. now both give the little fellow
the cold shoulder. ....

Another Great Battle I'm Virginia.
A battle was fought. on Saturday. at
the Rspidsn river. near Culpeper Court
House, between the American forces On
der Pope and Banks, and the Barbarians
under Stonewall Jackson, Longstreet and
Ewsll. The enemy's force was greatly
superior to ours. and they were strongly
posted. but at night the Union troops
still held their ground. In the evening.
the rebels sent in q flag of truce. asking
permission to bury their dead and the
next morning it was discovered that they
had retreated under cover Of night. Ca
valry started in pursuit, and overlook the
rear guard Of the flying enemy, but the
main body had crossed Robertson river,
which was so swollen by rains that artil-
Iery could not cross in pursuit. The pur.
suers found dead and wounded scattered
all along the road, and everything indi.
Gated complete rebel rout and the mos,
precipitate retreat.
1t was supposed that Burnside would
make dash upon Jackson from the di.
rection Of Fredericksburg, but we have
not yet heard anything from him. Pro.
badly Jackson will be permitted to es.
cape. as usual.
Our loss, in this battle. was about 1900,
only about 100 of whom were killed
Gen. Geary. Ex-Governor of Kansas. was
severely wounded in The arm. Gen,
Banks was injured in the side, by cav
airy trooper running against him. The
enemy made several desperate attempts
to cut off and capture Gems. Pope and
Banks, bat failed. The rebel loss is very
heavy. Gems. Winder and Saxton are
reported killed, and jackson wounded in
the hand.
1t was rumored that the army before
Richmond would make q move, about
the time this battle was going on; but
we look for nothing encouraging from
that quarter, as long as McClellan's 3
strategy" prevails. He prefers to wait
for Jackson's return with his veteran
troops.

"ABoUr FACE" E."-On Monday, crowd
Of some twenty-three traitors from St
Joseph. running away from the military
order. came over on this side, on thei,
way to Nebraska and Pixies Peak, .,
they pretended. After passing through
Troy. the Sheriff sent Joe Nixon and one
or two other men after them, who over.
took them st Highland. where they rails.
ed crowd and compelled the Secesh
gentry to take the back track. Among
them was A. Keaton, we'll known in this
County and Holt.
This is the way to serve the scoundrels.
But they are crossing by hundreds, all
along the river. and most of them are
seeking refuge in Nebraska. Is Nebras.

partment, that could put . stop to this

Aekn.~Iedx-ert.

We are under several hundred and ten
obligations to the Doniphan County Pat
riot for the mixture of sympathy. sugges-
ton and sarkassum" which it worries
out for our benefit. It is true that We
have several times been threatened with
immolation, but never for insulting .
woman, nor did we ever receive public
logging on the street. And notwithstan.
ding the various threats which have been
made against Us. we have never yet ske-
daddled to St. Louis in quest of martyr
dom. leaving our wife to assume our edi-
torial responsibilities, and to be black
guarded BY set Of chivalrous" ruff
ans. We believe. with the Patriot. that
we might 20 to war and not to killed ;
but We have dread Of being wounded in
the bowels. They say some Of the army
surgeons have adopted a new practice
in the treatment of such wounds. in which
cases Providence does not interfere with
science!
If the editor Of the Patriot sees 6t to
toady to and suck favor with men who
have rendered themselves so obnoxious to
tho best citizens Of his town and County.
that it was felt necessary to petition for
their removal, It is bis own affair. We
leave it to him and his neighbors to settle
the matter-with the full conviction that
the latter knew what they were doing.
Bat our style don't run in that channel.
We bate traitor. and pretended Union
men who take especial pains to protect
traitors, and "suckers'' who apologize
for and defend traitor sympathizers.
Since the Patriot was commenced, we
have purposely given the editor wide
berth. We have studiously avoided say
ing word in opposition to any of his
"heavy" efforts, many of which we might
have objected to; but we well knew that
an opposite course would have been con-
strned into desire on our part to raise a
personal quarrel with the editor. which
he would have regarded as the offspring
Of jealousy. and would have cried loudly
for sympathy upon the strength thereof.
II it is not his desire to provoke a con.
troversy which would be as unpleasant as
proitless, We advise him henceforth to
pursue the even tenor of his way, and
not. to use a classical phrase, "stick in
his shovel where there is no manure"
