HAVE You John w. Forney, writing
from Washington to the Philadelphia Press,
makes the following pertinent inquiries:
Have you ever heard secessionist talk
politics who did not claim to be Demo-
crat? Have you ever heard synpathiser
with secession talk politics who did not boast
of his Democracy? Forney declares that
the men who always tried to break down
the Democratic party in its days of honor
and loyalty, are now taking shelter under
the name Of Democracy, in order the more
successfully to assist the rebels in arms
against the constitution and the laws.

THE DEPARTMENT OF KANSAS.

The Department of kansas has been re.
established, and placed under the command
Of Brigadicr General Blunt, who is no
longer subject to the orders Of General
Halleck, but only to those issued from the
War Department. The Department en-
braces Kansas, the Indian Territory west
of Arkansas, and the Territories of Colora-
do, Nebraska and Dacotah, and will no
doubt be the scene of important operations,
bordering as it does upon the rebel States
of Arkansas and Texas.
We found fault with the appointment of
Gen. Blunt, believing, as We still do, that
there were men, tried and true, who were
far more deserving of the position, and who
had the fullest confidence of the people !;
but our pledjudicc is fast wearing away, for
he is proving himself to be a man of the
true metal, filled with the spirit of freedom,
and an exponent of the principles of Kan-
sas men. The organization of the two
Indian regiments, which was prohibited by
Gen. Sturgis, in direct opposition to orders
from the War Department, will be compile
ted soon, and the loyal Indians now in
Southern Kansas, who have been driven
from their country for the crime of loving
the Union, will soon be on thei, way to
retake possession Of their homes and fire.
sides, and drive their rebel brethren to the
Gulf.

LIMITS OF THE DEPARTMENT.

General Order No. 81, referred to in
the dispatch to General Blunt, was issued
on the 9th of November last.
We copy two of its provisions as having
a present interest:
"The following Departments are formed
from the present Departments of the West,
Cumberland and Ohio:
al. The Department of New Mexico
to consist of the Territory of New Mexico
to be commanded by Col. L. Il. S. Can
by, U. S. A.
"2. The Department of Kansas-to
include the State of Kansas, the Indian
Territory west of Arkansas, and the Terri
tories of Nebraska, Colorado and Dacotah
to be commanded BY Major General
Hunter; Headquarters at Fort Leaven-
WORTH"
1t will be seen that very large and i'm
rortant command is given to Gen. Blunt.
1t is believed that be will give particular
attention to the Indian country, restore the
loyal Indians, and blot out every trace of
rebellion in that Territory. Gen. Sturgis
refused to do this, and delayed obeying the
order issued by the War Department. The
interests of Kansas and the country demand
the cleaning out" Of that vast domain.

names upon the bonds of men of known
disloyalty. The property of rebels should

from our County, engaged in the present
rebellion, being guilty of the highest crime

Meanwhile the St. Louis ran into the

fight, the rebels retreated. All our boats
are ready again.
Norfolk, Portsmouth, and the Navy

Huger retired without fighting. The
naval engagement lasted only an hour,
the Merrimac being blown up. The

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

We, whose names head this paper, are
responsible for anything and everything
that appears in these columns, whether it
pertains to weak kaeed Union men at Fort
Riley or grog shops in Junction City. No
threats of personal chastiscment or legal
prosecution can swerve us from that line OF
conduct which we have marked out as the
path of duty, and we want all whom il
interests to SO understand it.
In making assertions We are ever careful
TO make only such as can be substantiated
by facts and undoubted proof, and We
intend to stand up to those to the best OF
our ability, at all hazards. Pursuing, as
we believe, just and honorable course
towards all, we are not to be intimidated
by threats, but shall continue to assail rcb-
els, and all other pests of society, wherever
they may be found. We intend to use
what little power we possess against rebels,
whether they are upon soil made glorious
by freedom, or rendered cursed BY the
bllghting hand of slavery. We are war
ring against traitors to the fullest extent of
our limited means, and when the occasion
requires it We shall have as little compunc-
tion in shooting down a rebel upon the
plains of free Kansas as among the rugged
Ozarks of slavery cursed Missouri. And
now, whoever the shoe fits IN any remarks
that we have put forth, let them attempt
to carry out the threats that have been
made, and We will endeavor to give them
such reception as they justly merit.

| becoming inpatient for the last ditch" We
will, however, venture the idea that it is all
owing to the " broughten up: the one army was
educated in the school of Freedom, and the other
depressed in spirit and manhood by their system
of Human Slavery. Through many reliable
sources the almost total generalization of their
army is learned, and their consequent inability
to continue further hostiities, unless perhaps it
be as guerrllas, together with the interesting
intelligence conveyed to the rebel headquarters
at Richmond by the French minister, to the
effect that they fairly beaten in arms, that
a guerrilla warfare would be return to barb4r-
ism. and admonished that a cessation of hostil-
tiles is duty they owe to themselves and to the
world, which all civilized nations will unite in
requiring of them," is pleasing indication, we
think, that peace, with all its blessings will soon
be upon US.
The telegraph also brings US tire startling
intelligence that the Democratic members OF
Congress threaten to withdraw in case the
4" radicals" persist in their efforts to pass the
Confscation Bill, thereby leaving Congress with
out the necessary quorum to do business. Such
men cannot certainly have the first spark Of love
Of country, who would thus tamper with the
life of the Nation, lest Slavery would get hurt
They assert that it is unconstitutional! which
suggests the oft repeated, but never answered,
question, What right have rebels under Con-
stitution, which they are warring against? We
propose that the South shall foot the bill. But
the Democracy Of to-day is badly tainted with
secession, for all their efforts are put forth to
screen the rebels, much to the detriment of their
county's cause, from the consequences of their
treason. They oppose the Confscatoa Bill, and
howl about and denounce taxation, yet suggest
no way tc sustain the Government. Verify,
such conduct is calculated to leave the impression
that they are rank traitors! The time for trifing
has past. If any should leave their seats in
Congress for such purpose, we hope it may be
to the classic shades of Lafayette or Warren.
