The Mails.

As much blame has been attached to the
Lawrence post office. for earelessness in mail
matters for this region of the country, we
publish the following letter from Hon. Josiah
Miller. Postmaster, to the Conservative. 1t
throws the blame of our failing to get our
trilweekly Conservative and other mail mat
ter at this office regularly, where il belongs.
The postmaster at Leavenworth. like the
papers there, evidently thinks Fort Scott is
Southern Kansas, and all the. mail for points
south should be sent there: agi g5A
Posi- OFFICE. LAWRENCE, May &c, SO.
Noticing your unkind cut in to days
Conservative as to this Office. told the
clerks to make note of all the Leavenworth
and Eastern packages for places south and
southwest. of this place, that came up from
Fort Scott, and they found in this evening
mail seventeen separate packages. On ex-
animation found they we're mostly Leaven-
worth dailies. The principal Offices for
which they were intended were Sac and Fox
Agency, Minneola, Willow Springs. En-
poria, &c. This is the case with nearly
every mail that arrives from Humb bolt and
Fort Scott. If these packages are not start
ed right it is not our fault that they do not
farrive at the proper destinations in time AS
l have stated. to you before it must be that
the mail intended for these offices is sent
from Leavenworth and St. Joseph, by the
daily line from your place to Fort Scott, and
thus. they have to come up 10 this Office
before they can get to their proper destina-
ton. Several of the packages that arrived
tonight, were for Maj. Cutler, Sac and Fox
Agency. I opened one and found it the
daily Conservative Of last Saturday morning,
which should have come here Saturday eve
ming, and would have gone down yesterday
to the Agency but it mas gone on the Fort
Scot line from Leayenworth, and thus comes
up this Tuesday, and will go in the morning
10 the Agency So it is with all the other
cases. The clerk tells me just now that he
has opened two more of the packages speak
Of One is for Mai Martin; the other for
Mai. Cutler. They are Sunday mornings
Conservative, which proves conclusively
that it is nc mistake of this office, as we do
not get your Sunday papers until Mond ay
evening, after our Southern mails are gone.
assure you it is not the fault Of this Of
fee, and consider 1t very uaakind IN you to
leave IN your paper the impression that this
is the office at fault, while you have not a
word of complaint to make publicly, as to
the very Office where all the blame lies.
have told my clerks to make out list OF
all the offices on the Fort Scott and Emporia
routes, the mail FOR which should be sent
through this Office, and send the lists to the
Postmaster at -Leaven worth l guarantee
thatif the mail ever gets here it will go d.
rect there, but we are not and will not be
held responsible for the delay in getting from
Leavenworth to this place.
l hope will not have occasion to explain
this matter again.
Very truly, yours,
JOSIAH MILLER, P. M, Lawrence.
P. S.-You must not consider that the
daily line from Leavenworth to Fort Scott
runs all over Southern Kansas. J. M

The First Division of the Army of the!
Frontier is eamped near this place. The
other divisions are not 'sfur abouts. I" The
First Division, composed mainly of Kansas
troops, is commanded by Gen. Ewing; the
Second and Third by Gems. Yandever and
Crime respectively. and the whole by Major
General Heron.
Gen. Ewing is quite popular among both
officers and men of his division. No other
promotion could have given equal satisfac-
ton. If. now. we had only Gen, Blunt to
command the aEmy.=tAs Kansas boys would,
be thoroughly satisfied, However. there is
much confidence felt in Gen. Heron, and
the army viii. I think, do as much as'could
reasonably be expected. f-1J Sc aief 7'5'
Notice has just been received of General
Curtis's removal. and the appointment of
Gen. Schofield to succeed him in the com
mand of tie Department of the Missouri.
Gen. Curtis's removal is probably due to
bis lack of energy, and his propensity to
make himself rich by speculations fostered
through his official position.
General .scho6eld has many friends. and
those who know him best, predict for him
success. He has military education, is a
warm supporter of the war policy of the
Administration. and has had much expert,
ence in affairs in Missouri. 81
should think it quite probable that the
Department of Kansas would now be re-
stored. 1t ought to be. .al7
The health of the army is better than be-
fore for many months. The Paymaster is
daily expected here with greenbacks enough
to pay us for six months. ri ar
ooh, that will be joyful"
Arrangements have been made. for the
publication ola newspaper in this division
1t will be record of the doings of the First
Division. viii send you copy as soon
as published.

FROM THE ELEVENTH REGIMENT
SALEM, DENT Co., Mo, 18th Nav, 1868.

SALEM, DENT Co., Mo-. 18th May, 1868.
DEAR NEWS: The journey from Fort
Scott was long and tedious, without either
incident or accident to vary the monot-
ony, until within two days of its close. Col
Judson, the gallant commander of the 9Th
Kansas Cavalry, accompanied by small
escort, overlook US about the middle of last
week, and journeyed with US to camp. On
Friday morning last, the 18th, the Colonel,
as is his wont, was riding in front of his
battalion, accompanied only by guide,
when, in the exhilaration produced by the
mornings breeze, his horses steps quick
ened, increasing the distance between the
Colonel and the head of the column to some
FIVE or six hundred yards; aud the road
was narrow and led through thick
bushy thicket, out of sight of each other,
also. a turn in the road brought to the
view of the Colonel and his companion,
half-adozen blue coated horsemen, APP
preaching at leisurely gait. At first sight
both parties slackened pace, but the Colo
nels thought reminded him that Lieut. Col.
Campbell (of the 9th Wis. J had sent out a
small party couple of days previous, with
dispatches for Gen. Ewing; that their re-
turn was. expected that morning, and by
way Of this very road; and so, without fur
Their reflection on his part. and with his
suspicious entirely allayed, the parties ap-
preached each other, to within a few feet
when suddenly the blue coated party pre-
scented cooked revolvers at the persons of
the Colonel and his companion, demanding
an Immediate surrender. Col, Judson still
thought that it must be Col. Campbell's dis
patch party, aud that the boys were but
playing a rough Joke; and so to the demand
TO surrender the Colonel only angrily replied,
"Boys, what IS this mean 90 To which the
still more angry reply came back, cd
d-n you, surrender, and follow US u
There was no mistakiDg this. Half-a-dozen
deaths were staring the Colonel in the face.
But the old hero had faced death in too
many shapes to be appalled, now. Knowing
that the column must be close behind, and
that moments time might save his life
flor surrender he never would), he settled
himself back in his saddle, and coolly said,
"Of course We surrender The Colonel
was so cool, and acted so little like surren-
dering-sitting stock still in his saddle,
without a motion toward giving up arms
that the rebs began to. suspect they had
''caught Tartar Just at this moment
the head of the column appeared around a
bend of the road, scarce hundred yards
of. Lieut.. Col. Campbell, riding at the
head, saw in moment the .'6x'' Col Jud-
son was in; and shouted :" Forward p
himself leading. while. the rsbs at once took
to the bushes and by paths without firing a
shot. The chase lasted an hour, and re-
suited in the capture of but one-a notori-
Gus bushwhaeker named Josiah Westlake.
who had been the terror of these counties
for months. He is now being tried for his
crimes. by a military commission called by
Gen. Ewing.
