nag Was any thing ever noticed to subside
So suddenly as the "Reign Of Terror" in Leav-
enworth2 Scarcely hint at such thing
appeared in the newspapers after election. 1t
is significant Of but one or other Of two things:
The eminent fitness of Mayor ANTHONY, or the
unparalleled unscrupulousness Of the Times
newspaper. The Times told ghost stories
enough TO drive all trade and travel from the
city. If, however, such a state Of things did
exist, then to ANTHONY are the good citizens Of
Lcavenworth indebted for the future success Of
their city. By his frmness Of character, and
disposition to do things by "the whole" re-
proachfully termed "radicalism," he has res
cued the place from the anarchy into which
Copperheadism, aided by few doughfsce
Republicans, was fast driving it. Judging
from the records of the Mayors court their
city will soon become an uncomfortable place
for thieves, pimps and prostitutes.

TAKES THE LEAD.

In this glorious little State Of Kansas just
one-fourth of the male population have volun-
teered to fight in the glorious cause. The
people of Kansas have passed through n school
that has made them somewhat radical, and
their radicalism does not consist in empty
words. The following table shows the ratio of
the number of soldiers furnished thus far by
each loyal State to the population Of the State,

and European Armies" by D. Mussey, U. s.

Arrest Of q Nest Of Spies.

A dispatch dated Washington, April 26,
says: The rebels have had some secret
means for knowing everything that trans
pired within our lines, and such information
was evidently conveyed. The guards sta
toned alodg the river bank and the situa-
tions favorable for signals had been con-
stantly enjoined to use the utmost caution.
Yesterday their efforts were crowned with
success. -.
One of the guards in the town of Fal-
mouth heard clicking in one of the
dwellings on the river bank like to that of a
telegrapbic instrument. He advised his
superior officer and was directed to enter
the house aud examine. This vas done,
and on opening the door be discovered a
party Of four or fre persons, one of whom
was seated at .elegrapbic instrument
sending messages BY submarine cable
across the Rapahannock. They we're all
arrested, and a just and speedy punishment
will doubtless be at once meted ont to them.

No PRISONERS FROM KANSAS. is

No PRISONERS FROM kANsAs.-It is .
remarkable fact that the soldiers from this
State are never taken prisoners. The Kan
sas men have never been taken in a body
by the rebels. and hardly an officer has
ever been captured. At this time We have
no knowledge Of single Kansas soldier
being held BY the rebels.
The war has lasted two years, and We
have soldiers in nearly every department
No other thirteen thousand men have seen
more service, but they never surrender aud
are never captured. 3

hearty and unreserved support given to
President Lincoln by all loyal citizens.
He says:
"The record of his two years. service
gives abundant evidence that Abraham

clearness of perception, knowledge of
human character. and . true heart, which
qualify him for the arduous task Of admin
istering the extended and varied interests
of free people, while at the same time he

The Fire in Denver.

We have, by telegraph from Denver,
under date of the 10Th inst, some particu-
lars of the recent fire in that city, the first
of any magnitude it has been afflicted with.
The loss, it is stated, will probably reach
sl5O, 900, many of the occupants of the
buildings losing everything. The fire broke
ont in the Cherokee House, in the centre
of the business part of the town, and made
such headway before it was discovered that
it was impossible to check its spread to the
surrounding buildings. 1t crossed f and
Blake streets, and in less than an hour the
greater part of four blocks was in flames.
By blowing up and tearing down buildings
the 6re was checked, though not entirely
subdued, having burned four houses

ure of the Peterof, and the enlistment of =

been enlisted for the Union, as they have
read the Presidents Proclamation, the Act

Senate and of the House.
The latest advices from Europe show
that the substantial middliug classes Of
Great Britain and Of France understand
now what caused our rebellion, and wha;
are the relative positions of the Union and
of the Secesh Governments. And while
they begin to openly express their sympa-

determining that neither the cabal of JEFF
Davis nor any other Government shall be
recognized as an Independent Power if it
has slavery for it's corner stone. Tbs Union

The White Cloud Chief i justly severe
on the law reducing printers fees, and
shows up some of those who were most
active in getting it through the Legislature.
We make the following extract:
"We cannot see what economy there is
in this reduction. Three.fourths of the
Delinquent: lands belong to nonresident
spectators. Yet, to favor them, the Log
islature has cut down to starving prices the
wages of printers, who are welding an
immense influence in building up the pros
perity of the State. Although the county
pays for the delinquent advertising, yet 10
reality the expense is not borne by the peo-
pie; for the lands are holden for the costs.
and those who buy them pay all the penal
ties and costs upon them. Printers must
work for these non.residents and careless
residents at less than half price, and take
their pay in county scrip, and sell that at
ifty cents, or at seventy five cents at most.
eft costs more to set up delinquent lists
than common reading matter, and it com.
pels printers to 60 to considerable expense,
to be able to do the work. We spent over
$3.50 cash for figures quads and sorts to
enable US to get out the lists which we
publish, and then We were hard pushed to
make the connection
"The men who gave themselves extra
pains to cut down printers fees were Click.
of Atchison, Mitchell, Of Douglas, and
Griffith, of Franklin, members Of the
House. Atchison, Lecompton and Mime
ola !! A precious team! Click is down on
printers generally, because some of them
have exposed his secesh proclivities. Mitch
ell has large quantities of land and is agent
for foreign spectators, who are almost
exclusively benefited by the reduction of
advertising fees. Grifiths is one Of those
miserly souls, who was troubled with
economy generally, except in cases touching
himself, and soug ht to make capital with
bis constituents almost exclusively by Bun
combe retrenchment resolutions aud bills" )"

There seems to be some mystery in the
movements of Grant and Rosecrans in the
vicinity of Vicksburg. The running of the
blockade was one of the most daring and
successful feats of the war, and quite effect.
ually cuts the Confederacy in twain; for
there can be little or no communication
between the East and West while the gun
boats are on guard between Vicksburg and
Port Hudson. Immense quantities of sup.
plies-particularly sheep and cattle-have
been brought from Louisiana and Texas, to
supply the whole rebel army and now,
that this is virtually cut of, the rebels may
be compelled to withdraw some of their
forces in that vicinity, and send them East.
But can they succeed? 1t looks as if
Grant merely intended to hold the rebel
forces at Vicksburg in check. and send
Rosecrans what he can spare to strengthen
him. There seems to be cordial under
standing between these two Generals if SO
they have the ability aud force to whip the
rebels 10 that portion of the Confederacy.
The rebel generals appreciate their position
and will doubtless strain every nerve to
avert the coming disaster. Everything
indicates that bloody, if not decisive
battle will soon be fought by Rosecrans.
The rebel hordes are awake and know if
they do not win, the whole Southwest will
be virtually lost to them.-B~leti".

Gov. Seymour advises the people to pause
in the work Of rescuing the Union from the
hands OF Traitors until they ascertain what
kind OF a Government it is for which they are
calledtopour out their hood and their treasure"
The counsel is as wicked as it is cowardIy. It
is traught with danger, not only to the coun-
try, but to the existence of society itself. It's
effect to weaken the Government, degrade it
III the eyes OF the masses, and encourage the
dlsloyal to conspire for its overthrow. 1t is
an ntlmation that fidelity to it is conditional:
that the citizen may throw off his allegiance
at pleasure; that he may ''pause," at a mo-
ment when its existence isin danger and con-
slider whether he shall remain Patriot or turn
traitor. 1t is the declaration of the higher
law OF individual over civil supremacy-an
enunclatlon of the dangerous heresy that Man
IS superior to the State. If carried out into
the practice Of communities, there would
speedily be IN end to all government, all
law, all restraint upon the license of the
mob.
10 ''pause'now, would be not only ruinous
but unprecedented. History furnishes no
parallel OF such an act of madness and follv.
There. Have been wars before; but there have
been no pauses in their career, except the
pause Of peace or the pause of death. The
Netherlands revolted, against the tyranny of
Spain but they did not pause until the work
was done. Switzerland revolted from the
yoke OF Aslstrie; but she did not pause todis-
cuss the technicalities until her independence
was achieved. The Greeks had much to dis
courage them in the prosecution of the war
against the Turks but they did not na1Ise
and hence did not fail. England was dissat-
lsled with the conduct of the Peninsula. cam
paign denounced itl and demanded that if
should be stopped; but she did not pause for
all that-but went right on, conuured a peace
at last, and thus re-asserted her SOVEREIGNTY
in the council halls of nations.
Party spirit ran high during the Revolution
Washington was denounced as ''incompetant.' y
arbitrary arrests" were made, the war was
'msmanaged,' good men found much to dis
courage and disgust them; but our fathers
did not pause" They fought the good fight
for seven long years-and conquered. 1t is
only the Tories who pause" only the Cow
Boys who sowed dissensions in the country
while patriots bled in the feld;-and History
has embalmed them in undying infamv.
There must be no pause now. The war
must go on. The conflict must rage until tbn
Traitor has laid down his arm Our destiny
urges US on;--we have no choice but to fobt
or ~dlshonarbly succumb. Timid men NAV
counsel conci %liation, demagogues NAV howl
against Federal usurpation;' but the GRAND
work will go on in spite of them. Governor
and those who affiliate with him
may cry, pause, but the cry will not he
needed. 1t will awaken only indignation and
contempt in the breasts of Patriots.-4H10g
