Junction, Kansas, Dec. Ia, 1863.

e6J- In the last Council Grove Press. Sam.
Wood devotes the most of his editorial labors
to the Junction City UNION As we do not feel
ourselves particularly hurt By his kind atten-
tons and intentions, we shall not consume our
time and space with retorts or replies Only
upon one topic do we deem it necessary to pay
attention to him, and that is q forcibly feeble
effort which he makes to bring the able State
Administration of Governor Carney, and the
legislation Of last winter, into disrepute, by
perverted statements of facts in regard to the
financial condition Of the State. As this is a
subject of general interest, and one on which
the people should be fully posted, we shall take
occasion TO refer TO il hereafter, and to give in
relation 10 it the facts as we understand them.
The crowded state of our columns prevents our
doing 1t at this time. When we get at il. we
think we shall be able to show that Sam Wood $
ventilation Of our finances is with foul air.
and that the truth as it is, will present Gov
ernor Carney before the people as a genuine
patriot and honest man, and not as dealer in
false pretenses and practiser of frauds. as
Sam would have us believe.

WAR on THE DcRGs-A of extermation is
being wnged on the canine species of this neigh
borhood. Their general meanness lead them
into the sheep killing business, ard hence we
have blood for blood" Sheriff Callen lost
abont thirty head by them, when he began to
shoot. Several paid the penalty in this way
whereupon somebody, through revenge We sup
pose. laid out some "pizen," which somebody
else's dorg got, and thus another fellow got mad
and laid out some more strychnine, which only
had the effect of severing the tie that bound some
other fellow to a chunk of dorg f1esh-and thus
the good work went on for several days. There
wasn't good dog killed, nor is there one to be
killed, and We hope every man in the country
may get little spiteful and go to killing dogs.
We sympathize with Mr.. Callen, but what is his
loss, is the community's gain.

nooa News from Kentucky.


A gentleman who came out of the heartsof
Kentucky few days ago, brings the intor-
nation that Lincoln's Emancipation Procla-
nation has wrought very great change in
public sentinel, and that many who were here
tofore decided Union men, are now strong for
the South. Ii will be remembered that some
months aga, gentlemen, for the privilege of
taking the Yankee oath Of allegiance, were
charged, according to their ability to pay.
from $50 up to S., 900, and where they could
not pay the money, property to the amount
levied was taken. A few weeks ago, in fright
at the present state Of public feeling, Gen.
. Boy,e issued an order that all who had taken
pay should refund the money or property
The Lincoln Marshal in Bourbon county, who
had taken the property of gentleman, was
called upon by the owner for it's restoration.
The Marshal being unable to refund, the
gentleman at once had him arrested and inn
prisoned, and at last accounts heswas still in
limbo.
s. This shows that great revolution has ia.
ken place, and that we yet have much to hops
for in Kentucky.
