~ at the expense of another, but to deal hiriy
with all portions of the State. It would be
much better if We could hear nothing of the
Kaw Valley, nothing Of the Atchison, and no.
thing of the Leavenworth interests. We of
Northern Kansas are willing to say to the oeo-
pie of the Kaw Valley, that they are entitled
to fair proportion of the public Improvements;
to the people of Atchison, that We do not desire
to deprive them of a railroad; and to the peo-
pie of Leavenyorth, that we acknowledge their
city to be the commercial emporium of the
State, and that We Of the country have an hon.
est pride in her future welfare and prosperity;
but at the same time We say, do not impose
upon our feelings Of friendship and generosity.
by asking US to sacrifice our own interests and
the interests of the State, for the purpose OF
building up your city. We are willing that
other portions of the State should prosper, and
all that We ask is that We may be fairly dealt
with.
Now, for fear of unfairness in local matters,
care should be taken, at the Fall election, to
elect good men to the House of Representatives
and none but such are true to the interests q
Northern Kansas. 1t was gratifying to know,
that throughout the whole Of the last session,
the entire Northern delegation with the e1-
ceptiou of Hidden, of this County worked
faithfully for the interests of Northern Kansas.
This man, Hidden, united with the enemies Of
the Henderson Amendment. in voting for the
~. xh,, hofr y;r he
interests of Northern Kansas, and the conf
dence reposed in him BY bis constituents.
am told that this same man has already an
nounced himself candidate for reelection.
It remains TO be seen whether the people Of
that District, after having been sold once, will
elect him sgain to represent them in the Leg.
islature. If they do him Justice, he will be laid
upon the shelf, and kept forever Hidden.

This fine regiment. commanded BY
Colonel Chester Harding. is now at New
Madrid. having been ordered to that
point from St. Joseph, Missouri.
The history of this regiment is heroic.
and will fill page in the drams of this
war. brilliant with deeds of vslor. and
lustrous with the names Of pnre patriots,
the spirits Of many of whom hover over
the field of Pittsburg Landing and Of
Shiloh.
In the latter conflict fell the brave. the
noble and accomplished Pesbody. Early

life that their country might live. Hero

The Twenty-fifth Missouri was among
the first regiments that was enlisted in
behalf Of the Government in Missouri.
and deserves to be remembered whenever
the gallant soldiers of the war are spoken

From Kansas City it moved to Lex

gallant defense Of that post, and it's refu-
sal to surrender. even when the white Gag
was untimely displayed. Its noble COM
msnder. Colonel Peabody. was severely
wounded at Lexington. and the regiment
was well nigh decimated. 1t was cap
tured by General Price. exchanged, and
re6lled its ranks at ST. Joseph.
At Pittsburg Landing and Shiloh it
was in the van. and in the desperate
struggle was again reduced below the
minimum. Here Pesbody fell. and every
staff officer was either killed or wounded ,
leaving only . remnant Of the more than
eight hundred souls that were the first to
meet the surgfng columns Of Besuregsrd
in that ssoguinary conflict.
