EN- COU CLING.

Our friends in Riley, Potawatomie, Dickinson,
Saline, and Clay, are placing Us under lasting
obligations for the interest they are taking in
extending the circulation of the UNION. During
the past week our circulation in Riley alone,
has gone up some thirty copies, and We have
encouraging assurances that it will still be more
largely increased. The UNION is now the only
paper west of Topeka. We think it ought to be
sustained. The people of Western Kansas seem
to agree with US, and are affording substantial
proof of the heartiness Of their concurrence Roll
on the ball! We promise to work in the future,
as we have in the past for the promotion Of the
best interests of Western Kansas, and the speedy
development of the muni6cent resources Of its
great valleys.
Had We proper mail communication, that We
might reach all the cabins that dot our prairies,
We would have circulation exceeding that of
any interior paper Of the State. As new mail
routes are opened, divergins from this point,
a very flattering increase in our circulation in
their direction follows. The opening of the new
route from this point to Cottonwood Falls will
result in an addition TO our list Of thirty forty
names. We have club of ten subscribers on
that route now, and the paper reaches them ten
days after publication. Thus, to great extent,
has the circulation of the UNION been fettered
but slowly the fetters are being removed, and it
pe1etrates as ray Of light.
Another grea: drawback to our paper las been
the want Of confdencei in its permanancy, engen-
dered by the repeated failure of several other
newspaper enterprises in this city. After one
and half years persevering toll. We have sue
ceeded in establishing such confidence. Cor
respondingly with the increase of our support,
We will increase the interest OF the UNION, and
labor the more assiduously for the promotion Of
Its objects.

days is nc more! The hero spirit has taken
its fight, and nought is left countless friends
but the memory Of his valor and excellent

Thanks to the Gods! my boy has done his duty.
Welcome, my sonl There set him down. my
friends,
Full in nv sight, that may view at leisure
The bloody CORPSE, and count those glorious

How beautiful is death when earned by virtue
Who would not be that youth What pity tbs

his daring deeds; and the seven battles

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Dec. 20.

FAYETTEvILLE, Ark, Dec. 20.
The Army of the Frontier has just ac-
complished one of the most difficult and
daring raids of this campaign. Gen. Her
ron has for some time been begging the
privilege of making cavalry dash on Van
Buren, and on Saturday, the 9th, he started
with good portion of his cavalry and
infantry for the other side Of the Boston
Mountains. Gen, Blunt started from Cane
Hill at the same time by another route.
The two columns went in light marching
order without baggage, carrying six days
cooked rations. There were about six
thousand men, one-third of whom were
cavalry. Gen. Heron took two batteries
without caissons, and made the entire march
to Van Buren without hating at any time
more than an hour. The feat of crossing
the mountains alone was q stupendous un'
dertaking. Twelve horses were attached to
each piece of artillery, and the few baggage
wagons were hauled by double six mule
teams. At daylight yesterday morning the
two commands of Blunt and Heron formed
a junction at Lees Greek, three miles soutk
of the foot of the mountains. There they
took the cavalry of both commands and
started for Van Burep, leaving the infantry
behind to come forward as fast as they
possibly could. Two regiments Of rebel
cavalry were encountered at Dripping spring
but after short engagement they were put
to fight. Seven Of the rebels were killed
and many wounded. The rebels we're fol-
lowed up Immediately in their retreat to
Van Buren. Here splendid charge was
made, led by the two Generals in person,
resulting in complete victory. The rebel
cavalry crowded on board some steamboats,
and escaped to the other side of the river.
Two fine steamboats, and over one hundred
prisoners were captured. Among the latter
were quite a number af commissioned OIL
GERS and Hindman's express messenger. A
third boat was run ashore and will be
DESTROYED, with those that took The rebels
across tho river. Large quantities Of corn
was also seized, and an extensive lot Of
camp equippage, including transportation,
and five mules aud horses. The full extent
of the victory of course cannot be known
this early The messenger left the infantry
and artillery still eight miles in the
rear, making as good time toward the scene
as they could over the nearly impossible
road. The people in that part of the coun-
try we're taken entirely by surprise and
terribly frightened. Hindman is on the
other side Of the river with his whole force,
unable and unwilling to engage US.

THE FATAL BLOW.

The telegraph has kept US advised Of the feel
ings and NOV ements of the President relative to
the issuance Of the Emancipation decree. We
confess, that from the wavering of the President,
as indicated by cur Washington advices. we
entertained fears that he would not be equal to
the emergency, but yield to the importuning of
the Border State men, and let slip the golden
opportunity Of striking the only effectual blow
at the rebellion. But later adyices are more
cheering on this point-all is well. Mr. Lincoln
has resolved to stand by his Proclamation Of
last September.
As We write this, twelve o'clock, NJ. Of Janu-
ary lst there goes forth to the world m edict,
which, in its results to the human race, and the
advancement of civilization, will not have an
equal in the history Of ages past. 1t practically
makes complete the Declaration of Independence,
inasmuch ns it carries out the literal meaning
of "An men are created free and equal 1t
erases the black cloud of soul bartering that has
covered the fairest portion Of our land. and en-
gendered among its people feelings Of Incidence,
over-bearing haughtiness, and obliterated from
their hearts to great extent, all traces of that
precept taught in the Sermon on the Mount,
Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that
men should DO to you, do ye even SO to them"
It has been reserved to ABRAHAM LINCOLN, to
remove the nurse Of Treason, that has fettered
the onward progress of the Republic, even rs the
fetters clank about and weigh down millions of
beings, made in the image of God; to establish
fully the true intent and purpose Of our Govern
ment; to extend the benign influence Of Free
Labor; to more effectually open the way, that
education and morality may be universal; to
remove the barriers that have reserved from a
portion of the human family many of the bless
ings Of life and, IN conjunction with all these,
to perform that act which Will restore the bless
ings of peace to his countrymen, and save his
Government We might add to these countless
blessings that such a pronuneianlente will entail
upon the people. The solution of this problem
Of Slavery has remained to our day-the ad-
vancement the world has made in the last few
decades have not passed by unnoticed, and in
the peculiarities Of its record are indelibly
stamped upon the face of Slavery its deteriora,
ting and demorahzing influence, and to close
reader, its inevitable doom.
But how fearful the thought Of the misery and
suffering that have already been entailed upon
rs by this bantling of Wrong and Oppression
which we have nursed, and to which We have
paid such Difference! Its poisonous fangs are
to-day in the hearts of thousands Of widows and
orphans-and the grief and sorrow that pervades
the land is but too plain indication of the
wrath We were treasuring up against ourselves
A better day, though, is dawning. The teach
ings of experience are to be respected. The
future will be iraught with blessings. if ve but

The Kansas Valley Route to Santa Fe.

We copied, few days since, an article
from the Junction City Union calling upon
the business men Of Leavepworth to engage
in the work of making good roads up the
Kansas Valley in order to secure themselves
permanently, the advantages and profits Of
the large Santa Fe and New Mexico trade
which they are now enjoying. This little
paragraph seems to have excited the IRE Of
the Journal, paper published at Kansas
City, = declining village, located below the
mouth of the Kansas river, in the delectable
State of Missouri, and it ''goes off, in q
loaded column Of fustian and falsehood in a
vain and feeble attempt to counteract the
fair and candid statements of the Union,
and to arrest the natural tendency of things
which are SO rapidly cousigning Kansas
City to the bottom.
We do not propose to attempt any de-
fence of the Union-that paper being
abundantly capable of looking ont for itself
but, as matter Of amusement, We propose
to examine some Of the facts and logic of
the Journal urged against tho Kansas Val
ley route.
First, then, as to its logic: Il objects to
the Kansas VALLEY route because, LIST. " 1t

The Army Before Fredericksburg.

Saturday morning new encampmens
made its appearance on the second range OF
hills, in the rear of Fredericksburg, in full
view from our position. A considerable
number of tents have recently been sent up
from Richmond to Lees army. The Rich
mond Examiner of the 9th indicated that
Lee, with portion of bis army, was mov-
ing towards Culpepper to make a demon
stration in front of Washington ; but it is
known that Lee was at Fredericksburg
Friday noon. The enemy are engaged
every night in raising and extending breast
works along the streets fronting the river,
as if to prevent any further crossing BY
pontoons.
Flags of truce cross the Rapahanuock
every day, principally to transfer to the
other side citizens who came into our lines
to escape the bombardment.
Our soldiers are taking advantage OF the
pleasant weather by building huts. Heavy
firing vas heard yesterday evening in the
direction of Dumfries. intelligence from
Acquia Greek to-day, 2Sth, states that about
1000 rebel cavalry with four guns, made an
attack on four regiments Of Sigels infantry,
at Dumfries. The contest lasted until
dark, and was renewed in this morning.
The caunonading was intense, and apparent
ly warmer than yesterday. The telegraph
line ceased to work yesterday afternoon and
up to a o'clock, p. M, to-day. no official
intelligence had been received.
A dispatch from Washington dated Dec
2Sth, says Occaquan was in possession Of
the rebels last night. Their cavalry sur
prised force under Col. Candy, at Dunn
fress, capturing parts of three regiment:
and four guns. The rebels then pouncee
upon the Occaquau, where the I'd Pennsyl
sania cavalry lost 20 killed and wounded
and the rest captured or dispersed.
Efforts are being made by Burnside ane
Slocum to capture the rebels, but there arr
no tidings of their success.
Several French subjects have made claim
upon the Government through the French
Minister here, for property destroyed b!
our army in Kentucky.
