Negro Soldiers Win Fight.

OV40Ao4o W ~ 18uSs
Thirty of the LIST Kansas Colored sol.
diers, under Capt. George Martin, recently
had fair fight with, and whipped seventy.
eight Of Livingstone's guerrillas. The
following particulars Of the fight are extract
ed from letter of Capt. Martins to his
wife, dated Camp Hooker, Baxter SPRING.,
May 25th:
"After the loss of our wagons in Mis-
souri,, the Col. went to Fort Scott after
more teams-they we're sent down to
Shawnee Greek, about fifteen miles from
our camp. My company was ordered to 60
and escort them to camp. got thirty of
my men in readiness and marched at 5
o'clock, P. NJ. We arrived at Shawnee
Greek about l; o'clock that night; We laid
down and slept until daylight, and about
sunrise started for camp. We had gone
about two miles when we were charged upon
by about twenty men on horses. l ordered
the teamsters to corral the wagons, and
ordered the men to jump out and form .
line of battle. In few moments the men
were all in line ready to receive the charge,
but when the cowardly devils saw the men
ready for them, they wheeled and ran.
We then marched on. In about fifteen
minutes, about fifty or sixty reinforcements
came charging from behind hill; instant.
ly threw my men in line, aud put the
wagons in position to form breastwork in
the rear, SO that if we we're forced, We
could fall behind the wagons. They did
not charge, but changed their position and
got in front of as, and formed in line across
the road then they threw out Aankers on
each side and in our rear, thus having us
completely surrounded. Ichanged my line
of battle to the front and guarded our tanks
and rear. l waited few moments for
them to charge; seeing they we're
making 20 motions to do so, ordered
my men to forward, and cautioned them
not to be scared, to keep their line dressed,
and not to FIRE until we got within twenty
PAGES of their lines, then for every man to
take good aim. At the command march,
the men all stepped forward with q bold,
steady step, and as little excited as if they
had been on dress parade; but before We
got within shooting distance the enemy
broke their lines and gave way, and We
marched right through. They had sixty
five in line in our front, six in our rear and
three on our left making in all seventy
eight men to our thirty. They then formed
upon our left and commenced firing upon
us. My men marched straight forward,
The balls few thick and fast all around !;
one bali grszed one Of men on the back Of
the neck, one was struck on the heel of his
boot, and was hit on the knee; the ball
hit the ground about ten feet from me and
glanced and bit me. I was loading my
gun at the time-I finished loading and
fred, and the man fell from bis horse.
They followed Us six miles. We we're
firing back and forth all the way. My men
did not break their line the whole way; no
men ever stood fire better in the world.
A We had no cavalry We could do nothing
but be prepared to fight them whenever
they chose to charge on Us, which they
we're too cowsrdly 70 do. There is no better
fighting material in the world than these
colored asen."

GOOD NEWS FOR JUNCTION!

We have received the gratifying intelligence
that the Kansas Stage Company contemplate
running daily line of Stages between Leaven-
wortl, and Denver. via Fort Riley. Junction,
and the Smoky Hill Route. Men are now en-
gagged in making the necessary arrangements
along the Road, and it will be completely
stocked and in running order by the First oi
August. This will effectually open the Smoky
Hill Route, and give to Leavenworth and this
unsurpassed Valley the benefits of the New
Mexican and Colorado trade.
A REBEL.-We cannot call Martin F. Conway
anything less, for no man who observes things
can say that "the independence of the South is
an established fact" Also, "The war for the
future. therefore, becomes simply an instrument
in the hands Of political managers to effect re-
suits favorable to their own personal ends. and
unfavorable to the cause of Freedom" He con-
cludes, GAS things stand, would sacrifice the
Union for Freedom any morning before break
fast" He should be sent after Vallandigham,
where he may test the workings Of that estab-
ished fact ...sa 81 5-
RAILROAD NEws-PROGREss OF THE L. p. &
w. r. R-The Times mentioned some time
since that patent excavator was in use upon
this road and gives the following particulars
relative thereto: 1t is a machine shaped like
scoop at its forward end, the hind end running
on wheels. The dirt passes up the scoop until
it is raised about six feet, when it makes turn
and empties its dirt into a wagon. When the
machine starts, wagon drives alongside, and
the earth runs in regular stream, (if we can
call anything not liquid stream,) filling
wagon after wagon, as they drive under it,
constantly, while running. We were told that
itwould employ twenty wagons where it was
at work, hauling the earth quarter to a half
mile. OF course the number of wagons would
vary according to the distance of hauling.
About a mile of the road seems nearly grad
ed. This would seem to indicate that work is
to be pushed forward with alacrity. The Com
pany have certainly evinced great activity
and energy in the work. The embarrassments
. of the times have seemed to present insur-
mountable obstacles, but still the Company
have gone steadily ahead. One of their diff
culties was the determination of many to create
the belief that they could never fulfil their
treaty obligations, and that the lands would be
subject to settlement.
At meeting of the stockholders the name
was changed to Union Pacific Railroad East
ern Division, and John c. Fremont chosen
President. 1t is to be hoped Fremont will
carry out the plan lately suggested by him.
