spent in its construction shall not exceed in

taken and duly paid by our own people If
the opportunity to do so be fairly and fully
afforded them. Let it be built with cash
in hand, and everything bought at cash
prices, and We shall confidently expect not

completed third Of it-that which stretches
from the Missouri to the eastern base Of the
Rocky Mountains-will pay fair interest

Important to Pre-Emption Claimants in tho Army.
We have received the following circular
from Mr.. F. G. Adams, Register Of the
Land Office at Topeka. It is addressed to
the Governor, and is highly important to
pre.emption claimants in the army:
LAND OFFICE, Topeka, Kan, May 26.
To HIS E:rcellency, Thomas Carney,
Governor of Kansas:
Under the Presidents Proclamation, q
copy of which I herewith enclose, the re.
naming public lands in the Shawnee and
Miami Reservations are to be sold at pub
lie sale on the Sd of August next. These
lands include portions Of johnson, Miami,
Linn, Franklin and Douglas counties. The
Proclamation requires all pre-emption claim
ants who have not entered their lands, to
appear at the Land Offices before the day
Of sale and prove up their prescriptions, or
to change them into Homestead entries
Since the announcement of the sale, num-
erous applications have been made to this
Office in behalf of soldiers whose homes are
on the lands in question, for such action al
will save their lands from sale during their
necessary absence in the service of the
country. On the 14th ultimo, I addressed
letter to Hon. j. Nj. Edmunds, Commis.
sioner of the General Land Office, recon-
mending that the lands Of such soldiers be
excepted from the sale. In reply, the
Commissioner, under date of the I'd inst,
has approved the recommendation, and has
instructed this Office to take the necessary
action to ascertain the names of the pre-
emptors whose lands should be excepted
from the sale. = These soldiers are widely
scattered among the different regiments Of
Kansas Volunteers. The time intervening
before the day of sale is limited to few
weeks. I therefore beg to solicit your
assistance in communicating this informa-
tion to the soldiers interested, and would
respectfully suggest that it is important
that the officers of each Kansas regiment
be requested to furnish the Registers of the
proper land Offices authenticated lists of the
names of soldiers claiming such pre-emp-
ton rights, the dates and terms of their
enlistment, descriptions of the lands claim
ed, and the dates Of the fling of their
declaratory statements. In cases where the
fact that . pre- emptor IL in the military
service may not be furnished by the means
above suggested, properly authenticated
affidavits of disinterested witnesses will be
received at this Office Is evidence to show
such service. as1f1s 81

New YORK, June 16.
It is ascertained that Hooker left the
station near Falmouth on the morning of
the 14th and proceeded toward Dumfrees,
where there was rest for the night

the road to Fairfax Station, where they
probably arrived Monday night. Previous

The effects destroyed were such as were not
worth removal. f,r !.
Up to Monday our army held the line OF
the Rappahannock from Banks to Kelley s
Ford, the river being protected by sufficient
troops to hold the enemy at bay should
they attempt to cross the river below.
Sunday morning cannonading was heard
in the direction Of Thoroug ghfare Gap. 1t
was thought to be the effort of the rebels to
cross in force.
Second Dispatch-New York, 16.-It is
ascertained that :hc main portion of the
Army of the Potomac has retreated from
the Rappahannock. The move was rem.
dered necessary by that of the enemy. A
large number of sick and wounded have
been brought away and transferred to the
military hospitals of Washington.

Ewings friends are the attacking party. Blunt
has made himself, and we believe can sustain
himself. If a war il brewing between our Cen

Excitement in New York-Army Movements.
NEW YORK, June 16.


All our militia regiments are getting un.
der arms at the city armories. Bells were
rung at midnight in Brooklyn, calling out
the minute men. Regiments of that city
assembled at 8 o'clock this morning. A
large number leave for Philadelphia today.
The Baltimore American of Monday says
the most reliable information we have been
able to obtain is tc the following effect:

the 1st Maryland battery formed part.
They fell back before superior numbers,
and Joined Gen. Milroy at Winchester, after
. sharp skirmish, the results Of which are
unknown. At the same time, Winchester
was attacked in front, from the south, by a
force reported to be under command Of
Ewell, successor Of Stonewall Jackson.
Troops that made the attack on Perryville
are reported to be under command of Gen.
Trumble.
The third force, after this encounter, are
said to have captured a detachment of our
men at Bunker Hill, and then moved on
Martinsburg. At A p. m, yesterday, they
demanded the surrender Of Martinsburg,
giving forty.ive minutes for women and
children to leave the town. Gen. Tyler,
who commands at Martinsburg, refused to
surrender, and an artillery fight ensued.
At half.past seven o'clock last night the
wires were broken between Harper's Ferry
and Martiusburg, and what occurred after
that is not known. A battle was also in
progress at Winchester yesterday, the result
of which is unknown. "--'
Gen. Milroy repulsed Ewell on Saturday,
and said he could hold out until reinforce
ments reached him. If unable to sustain
his position, he would have to fall back on
the line to Romney, as Harper's Ferry and
Martinsburg roads are held by the enemy.
Estimates Of the rebel force in the valley
are SO wide apart that they form no reliable
data for any conclusion. @
No damage is done to the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad as far as known No cars
or locomotives on the line are exposed to
capture. Orders were sent to exposed
fronts yesterday, and no less than seventy
locomotives and twelve hundred cara we're
brought 70 Baltimore in safety, - pre-
cautionary measure. No trains will be run
beyond Harpei's Ferry for the present. 1

Another Battle on the Rappahannook.-0reat
Cavalry Fight Of the War.


The New York Times special from Bev-
erly, June 9th, speaks of the recent cavalry
fight as the greatest of the war. Beverly
Ford was taken by spirited dash of the
Eighth Illinois and Eighth New York, and
we we're on the south side before the enemy
were aware of it. Kelley's Ford was also
taken by General Gregg after slight skir.
mish. The right column under Buford
came upon the enemy only mile from the
river. A fight commenced at five .. m.
and continued till three p. m, BY which
time the whole Of Stuart's force Was en-.
gagged, said to number sbout 900 cav
airy, and sixteen pieces Of artillery. They
were, however, driven back three miles on
the right and Eve on tho left with heavy
loss. Our forces formed junction at two
o'clock. The greatest charge Of the day
was made by the Sixth Pennsylvania cav
airy, supported by the Sixth Regulars,
when they dashed upon whole brigade of
the enemy. and were taken in flank BY
another brigade. Though overwhelmed
they CALAMITY cut their way ont.

the enrolling officers of the State have now
been appointed, and the preliminary work will
soon begin here as elsewhere. The best way
to "come in out Of the draft" is to join the

Blunt. You will save your bounty, and enjoy
