This is briefly my case-I was taken sick about
IS months ago with the Liver Complaint in a

since, and before that he had them every night

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF NEWS.

A dispatch from Memphis, dated June co.
says: Heavy reinforcements have gone tc
Haine's Bluff. Should the rebels attack
that position they will find hot work before
them. Johnston's forces are variously esti-
mated at from 90, 900 to 10000 men. A
portion of Bragg's army is certainly in the
rear of Vicksburg, having been sent as re-
Inducements TO Johnston. A report prevails
that Beauregard has joined the rebel forces
operating on the Big Black. The time for
registering as friends or enemies of the
Government expires to-day. Already over
1000 have taken the oath. It is reported
that many secessionists have been excused
from the operation of the order. which causes
some dissatisfaction. The rebels are con-
scripting every body. They are moving
along our whole line from Memphis to Co.
rinth.
A telegram from Memphis, June 10Th,
gives the following news from Vicksburg:
Official advices from the VicksbuTg army
of the 10Th are received. The siege pro-
crosses slowly but surely. Our total loss
during the past week was estimated at less
than 40, not more than or 10 of whom
were killed. The garrison continued Wig
orous firing of musketry and shells up to
the time the dispatches were made up, but
with the same poor success as heretofore
scarcely a man hurt on our side. An at
tack from Johnston's forces is looked for
daily; each day lessons his chances of &C
comprising anything.
A dispatch dated rear of Vicksburg, June
18th, has the following: Working parties
in front were hailed by a squad of rebels,
including one officer of the Commissary
Department, who told our men that they
were doing a great deal of unnecessary
work, as all We had to do was to sit still
and wait four days and Vicksburg would be
ours. Yesterday afternoon the rebels open
ed briskly for few minutes on US, intend
ing to drive of our working parties, but
they were silenced In ten minutes. This
afternoon they attempted the same thing in
front of Steele's division, with like result.
They fired occasional shells yesterday and
to-day on Logan's front, but did no execu-
ton. Our loss for the past two days has not
been more than I2 killed and wounded
A Vicksburg paper of the 18th has come
within our lines to-day. It's main articles
are quite despondent in their tone, Moth

GEN. EWING.

We neglected to state in our last, that the
old military district of Kansas had been d.
Vided into two, the Southern commanded by
Blunt, and the other-the District of the
Border-by the gallant Gen. Ewing, with
headquarters at Kansas City. Gen. Ewing
has already entered upon the discharge of
his duties. The noble old Eleventh is there,
as part of his force. Gen. Ewing has
adopted the motto Of determination to the
bushwhackers that infest our borders. We
hope he will succeed. No man could have
been appointed to this important trust that
would have suited the people better.

WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW.

At the risk of being called mud head,
we wish to know something about all our
Provost Marshals. When we inform all the
Generals, Colonies, Majors, Captains, Lieu
tenants, Quartermasters, Corporals, ETC.,
who may happen to see this, that we are no
military man, and hardly know the differ
ence between Fright oblique-march." and
"File right" they will excuse US for max
ing these inquiries.
In the first place, Mr.. A. R. Banks was
appointed Provost Marshal for the State,
an appointment which could not fail to give
satisfaction, especially where Mr.. B. is
known. Then came the appointment of S.
Clark, Esq.,-a very estimable young man
who formerly followed the honorable and
lucrative occupation of peddling lightning
rods, and on account of being tall, was
known throughout the region of country
surrounding Lawrence by the euphonious
sobriquet of "Lightning-rod Clark"-as
Provost Marshal General for Kansas, Ne
braska and Colorado. Kansas, recollect,
already had an officer of this kind. But
we are informed that this was neW office,
created especially to accommodate this tai
ented young man, which, if true, shows
great msgnanimity on the part of the U. S.
Government. Now, one question which
we want to ask, is: Was this Office created
for Mr.. g. because there was no man found
in the Territories of Nebraska and Colorado
fit to fill these important trusts for these re-
spective countries, or was it given to him
on account of the great talent he displayed
in times gone by in writing checks for a
candidate for the United States Senate, on
banks where said candidate had no money
and could not possibly get trusted for a
cent?
Other questions which we beg leave to
ask, are, whether Banks reports to Clark, or
Clark to Banks-or in other words, if we
have two Marshals for Kansas, which is
which? Or is Mr.. Clark's office merely
complimentary, on account of his valuable
services 10 the Government? and does he
draw his pay regularly? Is he furnished
with four-mule ambulance and two Mig
gers, at the expense of the Government?
and if not, won't somebody less modest
than he is see that this duty is performed?
Again: We learn that F. r. Page is ap-
pointed Provost Marshal for Southern Kan
sas, and G. S. Lambdin for Lyon county
both excellent appointments. Is there to
be deputy appointed for each township
and school district? If so, there are in
this region several men who don't want the
positions; and they would like to know, so
that they can send in their names, and thus
avoid having Office thrust upon them against
their wishes.
