Leavenworth, Aug. 25.-Up to this
morning, 1913 bodies were buried at Law
renee Many of them were so much disfg-
ured as to prevent recognition. People are
continually passing between this place and
Lawrence, and their details of the scenes
thai occurred in the streets and houses of
the doomed city are sickening and heart
rending. The last accounts we have of
Quanhen are to Saturday night, at which
time he was being closely pursued by Lane,
whose forces was constantly increasing by
the farmers who were focking to him with
arms. 1t is his determination to follow
him into Missouri, and if the gang is dis
banded to hunt them down like wolves
One of them who was captured gave the
names of so of the gang. They are people
of jacobson county, who are we'll known and
have always been considered good Union
men. Well informed men at Lawrence are
of the opinion that Quantrell's men are
mainly composed of paroled prisoners from
Pemberton's army, with some of Prices
command, from the fact that they are much
sunburned from being long in the service
New York, Aug. 25th.-Specials from
Washington, this morning, contain little
news. A Morris Island letter to the Herald
says. the appearance of Fort Sumter is not
unlike that presented by Fort Pulaski on
the evening of the first day S fire. From 80
to 40 large holes could be seen on the face
of the works. The barricades of bricks
have been seriously damaged Three days
of such work will bring down Sumter on
the heads of her defenders
Fortress Monroe, Aug 24.-The Rich
mond Hhig Of the 2lst says the loss of
Vicksburg and failure at Gettysburg are the
two events of the year which seem to rend-
er highly probable a long and almost in
terminable continuance of the war. Apart
from the victories which we may achieve
on the field, there are but two means of
counteracting tile baneful effects of these
two events and bringing hostilities to an
early close. These are events 70 orcinginter-
vention or determined opposition by the
conservative masses of the north to aboli-
ton faction which has control of the gov
ernment at Washington. A long and pro-
tracted war will prove great evil, wholly
unmixed with good, for the longer the war
continues the more thoroughly exasperated
the Southern people would become with the
whole Yankee race and Yankee institutions.
We want the aid of France. We are able
to pay 70 it. Lei us do it. We shall then
have peace or power to work swift re-
venge on a foul foe.
The Richmond Sentinel says, from the
region of the Rappahanrock their seems to
be growing an expectation that collision
between the two armies is drawing near
All accounts concur in representing our
(the rebel) army to be in the very best
condition.
