dered to Corinth, to reinforce General Halleck.
Sickness among the troops at Corinth neeessi-
tates this move, as out of 10000 men Halleck

as countermanding the order for the Indian Ex-
pedition, but only that to New Mexico. The
troops thus ordered are the Kansas First and
Seventh, and the Wisconsin Twelfth and Thir
teenth, the whole under the command of Briga-
dier General Mitchell. The Court Martial of
Lieutenant Colonel Anthony is over, and out Of
fifty charges against him all failed. Lieutenant

THE. WEEKS NEWS.

Victory follows victory. Repulses are among
the things that were. The Grand Army Of the
Potomac has risen in its might, and with its
resistless valor, and the uuequaled military
ability Of its leader. are sweeping the rebels to
the Gulf, as chaff before the wind. Saturday,
May 10th, General Wool proceeded, by way OF
Willoughby's Point, to Norfolk, with five thou
sand men, and was met by delegation Of citi
zens. who surrendered the city without a strug-
gle. General Huger, who commanded the rebel
troops, according to rebel tactics retired on the
approach of our victorious army. AS a conse-
quence Of this retrograde movement, Portsmouth
and the Navy Yard also fell into our hands.
Our troops were infused with enthusiasm un-
bonnded by the presence of President Lincoln at
the head of the Union column. Sunday morn
ing following, the Merrimac was blown up by
the rebels to her from falling into onr hands.
Our army is doubtless in possession of Richmond
by this time The Southern Confederacy is
played out.

said company the most beautiful, valuable,
and richest lands on the continent, under
stipularions requiring the construction of
the road to the western end of the Potta-
watomie reserve, and whose charter requires
its building to Fort Riley, We think is a
sufficient guarantee that We will be on the
great connecting link between Europe and
Asia Our confidence in the superior nat
ural advantages of the Kansas Valley route
prompts us to believe that it will pass
this way.
Our Senators and Representative at Wash
|ington deserve the lasting gratitude of the
people of the State for their unceasing
advocacy of these two great measures. We
shall publish in our next issue extracts
of Senator Pomeroy's speech on the Home
stead Bill, which for ability and eloqueuce
will occupy prominent position in the
annals of Senatorial debate.
The Rsilroad Bill names seventy FIVE
persons, from different sections of the
country, with five commissioners, to be
appointed by the Secretary Of the Interior,
and all who may become associated with
them and their successors, as a body cor
porate. by the name of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company. The capital stock is
to consist of 100, 900 shares Of $1,000 each.
The right of way is granted for its con-
struction to the extent of two hundred
feet in width on each side of the road. One
most gratifying feature Of the Bill is, that
the rails and all other iron used is to be of
American manufacture. The Bill further
provides:
"Whenevcr forty consecutive miles of
the road sbal! be constructed, patents shall
issue for lands, as well as bonds for $1,000
each, payable in thirty years after date,
bearing six per centum per annum interest,
payable semi-annually, to the amount of
sixteen of said bonds per mile for each
section Of forty miles, to secure the pay
ment of which the company is to give a
lien upon the road. The Government is at
all times to have the preference for the
transportation Of mails, troops, munitions
war, supplies, and public stores, at fair and
reasonable rates of compensation, not to
exceed the amount paid BY private parties
for the same kind Of service, and all CON-
pensation for services rendered for the
Government shall be applied to the pay
ment of bonds and interest until the whole
amount is fully paid. The company may
also pay the United States, wholly or in
part, in the same or other bonds, treasury
notes, or other evidences of debt against the
United States, to be allowed at par, and
after the road is completed, until the bonds
and interest are paid, at least five per cent.
of the net earnings Of. said road may be
annually applied to the payment thereof"

A Dsspsr.do Killed in Lyon County.

A fatal shooting affray recently took
place on Rock Greek, in Lyon county. We

that county:
Two horses were stolen from Mr.. Secor
on the night Of the 7tb. Judge A. l.
Baker and Mr.. Secor pursued the thieves.
found the horses and brought them back.
On their way home they found . man
named Leonidas Griffin. At Council Grove
Judge Baker made an affidavit and took oot
. warrant for the arrest of Griffin as
horserthief The night they reached home,
Judge Baker was called out BY six armed
men. among whom was Griffin, desperate
named Anderson, and his two sons. They
threatened to kill Baker unless he took
back what'he said in the affidavit.
They gave him till morning to decide,
At that time Anderson returned with q
double.barrelsd gun. A constable Who Nas
present tried to prevent Anderson facm
gong to Bakers room but be swore be
would kill the Judge; this was . good
time to do it. As be rushed on with bis gun

room and shot hin. The ball eotssed the

killed him instantly - Conservative.

A SUGGESTION TO HORSE OWNERS.

The extent to which horse stealing is be-
ing carried on in our State must be alarm
ing to all owners of that species of property.
The thefts are not confined to any particular
locality, but are daily going on in all parts
of our State, from the much troubled
border along the boundary Of Missouri, to
the most extreme western settlements, far
removed from the turmoil and strife of war !;
and all suffer alike-he who keeps his
horse for pleasure, and the man whose sole
dependence for his daily bread is upon the
labor of his team.
Our object in calling the attention of our
readers to this subject is for the purpose Of
suggesting some remedy for the grevious
evil which aflicts ua. That something
must be done, aud that soon, to put stop
to the career of the thieving marauders "ho
are literally "cleaning ont" our country Of
stock, no one doubts; the manner in which
to go about it puzzles all. Our civil law
seems to be of no avail; for when horse
thieves are caught and tried by civil author
ity they are declared not guilty, and again
turned loose upon the community, as was
shown at the last sitting Of the U. S.
District Court, at Topeka. Fer this rea-
son we would suggest to the residents Of
Western Kansas, and especially to the
farming community, the propriety of or
gaining society for protection against
horse-thieves, and other violators of the
rights and well-being Of society.
The plan upon which We would organize
such society is substantially Is follows ::
Let it be secret society, 50 that its plans
may not be known to those whom they may
most directly interest; let small fee be
charged, Of those desiring the benefits Of
membership, to serve as fund to be used for
the detection of offenders; let none be
members Of the society but such - are
permanently located in the country and
directly interested in its welfare and pros
oerity; let certain number Of members,
in regular routine, be committee, whose
duty shall be to use al means in their pow.
sr for the recovery Of property stolen from
members Of the society. By this means,
. sort Of detective police may Be Instituted
through the country that viii Be ready at all
times to bring TO speedy punishment those
that infringe upon the laws. l.
Such societies have worked we'll vhessvss
they have been tried, and if the the people
win take hold Of the enterprise in earnest,
We predict success here. Who viii take
the lead in this matter!

THE RAILROAD AND HOMESTEAD BILLS.

When the books are squared and accounts
settled, it will be apparent to all candid
minds, that, next to the establishment of
of our Government on q more permanent
basis than heretofore, the second grand
result of the present rebellion will be the
consumation of the long contemplated pro-
ject of binding in twain the Atlantic and
Pacific shores by rail, and Of bestowing
upon men free home, out of the boundless
domain of the Nation. The friends Of Free
dom and Progress have indeed great cause
to rejoice at the evident ultimate success of
their Efforts for the social advancement and
good Of the laboring class. No other evi-
dence is wanting of the deteriorating in
Auences of Slavery than the persistent
refusal of the Southern leaders to accede
to any measure proposed by the liberal and
progressive North, that savored 10 the least
of Freedom. No! they must hold the
balance of power-such settlement of the
great North West as would follow the pas
ssge Off Free Homestead Bill would 6ivest
them Of that, sooner than which the tools
of Slavery would see this garden of the
world troddeu to all eternity by the unciv-
ilized Indian. But their day has passed.
The temporary secession Of the slaveholding
States have, among many other good things,
permitted the progressionists of the North
to move onward.
A telegraphic dispatch to the Coaserca-
tire from Senator Lane, informs us that the
Pacific Railroad Bill passed the House on
the 9th inst, and that the Homestead Bill
is through the Senate. The great fear of
the defeat Of the Railroad Bill lay ia the
discordant elements of the House, arising
from the rivalry of the many localities
interested. But now that it has passed
that body BY such handsome majority,
fears no longer need be entertained respect
ing the immediate construction of the road.
Nor do We think the people Of Western
Kansas should be exercised in the least
regarding the route. The Bill specifies
that the line Of railroad and telegraph shall
commence At the l02 meridian Of longitude
west from Greenwich, (which is about $50
milee west of this place. at the termination
of the Leav. Pacaee and Western Ral-
road and Telegraph Line, with which it is
