Nrw YoRx, March 25.

New YoRK, March 25.
The Times dispatch says refugees who
arrived within oar lines Yesterday confirm
the statement that The rebel srmy ia fall
ing back from fredericksburg. and is
being massed in the dsfenses before Rich
mond.
They state the entire force left at
Fredericksburg on Sunday night to have
been only 5000. They also confirm the
news that the gun-making machinery and
ordnance stores are being rapidly removed
from Richmond into Georgis; that the
withdrawal Of families from the city has
fully set in. and that the sales Of proper
ty are being forced a, a ruipous loss.
They also state that the acknowledged
loss by cavalry soldiers in Richmond,
sustained in the recent thrashing Averill
gave them. was between 400 and 500
killed and wounded. Among the killed
was Colonel Lagrange, Of North Caroli-
ma.
The rebel guerrillas came again to-day
down our lines at Chantilly. and m ade .
feint of attack. Seventy of onr cavalry
dashed at them and chased them mile
or so. till in passing they received flank
FIRE from behind. pickets and barricads.
Our cavalry wheeled and fed. pursued BY
the enemy. bnt rallied and again chargd
the rebels for distance of three miles.
One great duty with which General
Burnside is charged in his new depart
ment. is to defend Kentucky from the
spprehended rebel invasion. He will be
furnished with an ample force for that
purpose; shonld circumstances favor, he
may cooperate with General Rosecrans
in Middle Tennessee.

TIE Truth ADvANcING-The Bour
bon County Monitor is the only paper in
Southern Kansas that has thus far had
the honesty and moral courage to tell the
truth about the Henderson Amendment.
A late number of the Monitor contains q
lengthy editorial. in which q plain and
fair statement Of the question is made.
The people Of Kansas have been deceived
and misled in this matter. and principal
ly through their papers and politicians,
who have been bought or honeyfug-
gled" BY Atchison and Topeka interests.
Why. even IN individual who last Fall
ran for the Legislature. in one of our nor
thern Counties, as champion of the
Henderson Amendment. but was beaten,
has since bought newspaper down be-
low the Ksw. and taken to preaching
against the evils which would result to
the State from the acceptance of the Hen
derson proviso. If he was honest last
Fall, he must be miserably dishonest
now, and viee versa. But had the truth
been circulated in Southern Kansas, last
Summer and Fall. the northern Counties
would have received justice at the hands
of the Legislature. and the interests OF
other portions of the State would have
received no detriment.

RosEcRAxs's STYLR.-We like the way
Gen. Rosecrans has of dealing with Cop
perhead officers, who throw up their
commissions because they are required
to make war upon the rebellion and the
cause of it. Here is one Of his late or
ders:
"Tbs General comm anding has this
day received the resignation of Major
Kslfus. of the 18th Kentucky regiment.
in which he assigns as reasons therefor
the sentiments of traitor and an enemy
to bis country. who would desert her
when armed violence sssails the nations
life, and the Constitution. the palladium
of our rights. He is dishonorably dis
missed from the service.
.'None of those. who. like the hypo-
critical Pharisees Of old, strain at the
gnat and swallow camel, are wanted in
this army Of patriots"

was then On. easy task to amend the title

bat one of the session, when the Senate
went into the consideration of bills. they
undertook to play the Houss game. by
striking OCT all of bill after the enact

only hope Of the opponents of the swim

"illibustering." ordinarily. is a small
and dishonorable means Of retarding bus

gave the casting vote in favor of the
Constitution and School fund. and the
Bridges capsized again. But Leav-
enworth died hard. They manipulated
the "ofish" Senator and put him all
right again. which determined them to
make another effort at the night session,
But when the time came, another of their
Senators was mysteriously non est. and
they gen up the ghost without strug-

on the Senator referred to, in q con-
temptible way. by reconsideling and
defeating bill in which they found he
took considerable interest OF this cir.
cumstancs we shall have something to
say hereafter.
This is substantially the history of the
Bridge bill. the defeat of which, by the
Senate, was the most prsiseworthy act
performed by the late Legislature. The
contest showed Just how much regard
Leavenworth has for the Constitution and
the educational interests of the State,
when they conflict with her speculations.
We shall ere long take occasion to show
how Leavenworth has treated the people
of those sections of the State from which
shs has drawn her trade and prosperity.
and from which she must continue to
draw them. or sink.

A lev days ago We saw . letter from
an iplPlligsnt gentleman from Southwes-

True as gospel. The thing has long
been too plain to be concealed. and we
are glad to End that people are awaken
ing to the subject. There are other in
terests in the State. besides those Of Leav-
enworth; and If Lesvenworth is to be
prevented from monopolizing all the
advantages and prosperity belonging to
the State. the people should be aroused
upoa the question before the next election.
But the evil which the News complains
Of. wss brought about by the Southern
Kansss members. the Lyon County mem
bers being among the most prominent.
There were several candidates for Speaker
of the House. The Southern members
met in caucus, and by q very large ma
jority decided to vote for the Lsavenworth
candidate. This settled the thing. and
tho other candidates could do no better
than back out. The Speaker appointed
the Committees to meet Leavenworth in
terests, and Leavenworth controlled and
monopolized the Legislation-and did it,
too, through as weak delegation as any
County ever sent to Legislative body.

We believe we have said that the Con-
servative was the most enterprising, read
able. and widely circulated paper pub
lished in Leavenworth but we can't see
what that has to do with stealing horses,
or wherein we indorse horss-stealing. by
entertaining the foregoing opinion of the
Conservative: The Conservative did,
some two years since. publish an article
in favor of Jayhawking-ws have op-
posed the system but we don't think
either of these circumstances makes q
particle Of difference. so far as horse
stealing is concerned. Men who are
thieves BY nature. don't lose much sleep
on account of what newspapers may say
about it. In conclusion, we will mildly
suggest that the Leavenworth newspa-
pers have run their war Of rivalry sever

Gates mobocracy and rowdyism. because
two rivals oppose them; and tho latter
