Fate Of a Rebel Family.

In the early settlement of Kansas.
Judge Michael Byrd located at this point.
where he opened store. and did fair
business. Personally. he was clever
man : bu. politically. he was bitter
and bigoted Pro-Slaveryite. During the
troubles, be constantly bad ruffisns Of
that party lying about his premises; and
he armed and equipped his Oldest son.
and sent him out to fight the Free State
people. The sou participated in the
burning Of Grssshepper Falls. the sack
ing of Lawrence, and other Border Ruf-
fan achievements. When the White
Cloud town site was secured. and set lers
began to pour in. Judge Byrd declared
that he would no longer live in the Abo-
lition hole, but would 90 and start .
town of bis own. in which none but DEM
ocrats should live. He accordingly left
his property here, for which be could
have obtained handsome price. and
founded the town Of Chsrlestown, at the
head Of Burr Oak Bottom. He built q
store house aud a number of dwellings,
and for several years his Democratic town
struggled along; but at length it went
under. and the Judge was utterly bank
rupted. He removed to Missouri. leav'
ing his Democratic town behind him.
Some time ago, bat two inhabitants re-
mained. One Of them killed the other.
and was put in jail for it-and that was
the last Of Charlestown.
At the breaking out of the rebellion,
the Judge was. of course, an ultra seces'
sionist. His second son, John, entered
Prices army, and was killed at the battl.
of Pea Ridge. Charley. the Oldest. went
in afterwards. He passed through here
on bis way: and it is said that he and bi'
comrade drank a toast to JEFF. Davis. n

the battles In Arkansas or South W.
Missouri. The Judge himself has sinc'

The Rock Island Argus, which is about as
bitterly partisan Democratic as any sheet ir
Illinois, repudiates the Green Davis PROPOSE
tons for peace, which were endorsed by the
Courier. 1t says the loyal people of the
United States would gladly accept the above
terms, with the following slight notifications,
viz: s-5
l. lang the President, Vice-President
members Of the Cabinet, members of Con-
gress and the general officers of the army and
navy, of the Confederated traitors. Proclaim
a general amnesty to all others who would
swear to be true to the Constitution of the
United States and 60 home and remain peace
able citizens. 4.s -,
Q. Enforce the fugitive slave law, except
as to slaves who have escaped in consequence
of the war. The traitors having fired the
first gun should bear the consequences of COM
mencing hostilities. Aee
8. That inasmuch as the seeded States
commenced the war without any just and rea-
sonable cause therefor, they shall pay all the
expenses of both sections.
These terms suit us, and we doubt not
would be gladly accepted by the loyal masses
in the North, Notwithstanding the charge so
persistently made by the Tory press that the
war is waged solely for the purpose of exter-
minating slavery. Bat of course the rebels,
flushed with recent successes on the battle
field and encouraged by the efforts of semi
seccssionists at the North to embarrass the
General Government, would utterly refuse
peace on any terms short of separation.

about a story imported from England, to the
effect that our Government had ordered lot
of guillotines- story they affected to believe,

follow. | am persuaded the war will not be
vigorously prosecuted till some Of the rascally
Generals in our own army shall have been
mercilessly shot by guard of twelve men,
If poor sentinel, weary with hard duties,
succumbs to nature and sleeps upon his. post,
he pays the penalty with his life. 1t is well,
for upon his vigilance may depend the lives
of ten thousand men. For the same reason
should General be shot for neglecting duty,
or for bunglingly performing it, as to cause
the sacrifice of many valuable lives. Off with
the heads of all such ! should be the unbend-
ing rule of the Government 30 '''''' =
Gov. Kirkwood, and John c. Culbertson,
Esq, his private secretary, are at the Kirk
wood House. A gentleman who was recently
here from Marshall county states that he dis
covered at the General Land Office that Gov
Krkwood, six months ago, received five thous-
and dollars of the swamp land funds belong
ing to that county, which he (the gentleman
referred toy had been sent here, at considera-
BILE expense, to attend to-. Thinking there
must be some mistake about it, he was con-
vinced of the fact by sight of the draft, orig
inally payable to the Governor, by him en-
dorsed to f. Clarke (his brother in-law), and
by Clarke to the Branch Of the State Bank at
Iowa City. The swamp land agent was lit.
tie indignant at the Governors negligence in
the matter, but no doubt that functionary,
who has had so many war affairs attracting
his attention, will show that he did his duty
in the premises. At all events, | will ask
him about it and give you the details in time
to prevent the good people Of Marshall county
from making muss before they are hurt.
1t is very rarely that obtrude matters
personal to myself before the public, but
decent selfrespect compells me to notice the
following from the pen Of your spicy and
intelligent correspondent, "W. F. D.:
'Linkensale still lives and breathes, gay
and festive youth, uttering his opinions of
things in general with perfect freedom"
No doubt your correspondent meant well
and intended to speak kindly of me, and thus
far am obliged to him. But 1 am neither
"gay," nor "festive,' nor yet a "youth." I
am plain, steady, industrious, middle-aged
man. Whatever else may be, the Repub
lican press of Iowa at all events, nor the Re-
publican party of my State, has, may be
permitted to trust, no reason to complain Of
me. But l do most earnestly, yet kindly,
protest against being writ down as, in effect.
"a fast young man "a character which
no sincere, thoughtful man can help contemn-
ing, and the respect of sincere, thoughtful
men is something, I admit, would do much
to gain. LINKENsALE.
