STATE OF KANSAS, EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
TOPEKA, Jan. Esd, 1868.
Gentlemen Of the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives::
Que of your highest duties is to care well
for the citizen soldiers of Kansas.
am unable to state officially the number
of brave men we have in the field, nor am l
able, officially, to inform you of their santa
ry condition.
The Legislature, as we'll as the people of
the State. should have this information. 1t is
my intention to visit the regiments of Kan
sas as soon as my official duties will permit,
however distant may be their camps
whether they are in Missouri or Arkansas,
in Tennessee or Mississippi; I desire if /
can, TO see all of them
This is duty owe our heroic soldiers
and the people. I owe it to myself, too, be-
cause by personal inspection I can learn
their actual condition, their wants and ne
cessities, and how these wants and necessi-
ties may be best met.
But, as cannot leave the State for some
time to come. wish meanwhile that the
Kansas regiments far away from home should
know that the feeling at home in their be-
half is both practical and earnest.
suggest. then, that provision shall be
made by the Legislature for the selection of
some suitable person, who shall visit these
regiments Immediately, and report as speed
lily as it may be to insure accuracy of detail,
the number of Kansans now in the service;
the number who have fallen on the battle
field, or by disease in the hospitals; the
general health of our soldiers; and what
may or can be done by the State to relieve
the sick and suffering or to encourage the
strong and hardy among them.
wish to husband well the means of the
State-to avoid any expenditure not essen
tial to the public interest; but l consider
this absolutely necessary.
l respectfully ask, then, the legislation
necessary for the accomplishment of this
end, and an appropriation which shall be
made sufficient to cover the expenses Incl
dent thereto. Respectfully,
THOS. CARNEY.

DEATH OF A MARTYR.-We deeply regret
to chronicle the death of Charles Stotler,
brother of the editor Of the Enporio Nea0S,
whose death was caused by wounds received
in one of the recent battles under General
Blunt. He was in Col. Ewing's regiment.
We met him last in his regiment on the Dry
Wood, below Fort Scott, and passed saluta-
tons, telling him we would have been glad
to have given him a situation, which he
knew, but his patriotism was stronger than
his love of ease and comfort. He worked
formerly in our Office. He was the soul oil
honor-winning the esteem of all who knew
him. Few young men could have fallen,
who would have been more deeply lamented
by all his acquaintances.-LaU State
Tribune.
DEATH of CHARLES SToTLER.-The last
Emporia NeaOS contains a touching tribute
to the memory of Charles Stotler, brother OF
the editor of that paper, who lately died of
wounds received at the battle of Prairie
Grove. It seems that his death was due,
probably, to neglect on the part of the Sur
geon to properly dress his Wounds fruit
full and shameful cause of death among our
soldiers, growing out of the fact that in nine
cases out often, their appointment IS brought
about by political intriguing instead of being
conferred because of fitness for the position.
Charles Stotler was born in Ohio, and had
lived in Kansas, employed in the NeaOs of
fee. since March, 1859 We sincerely con
dole with the editor of the Meas, in this
severe affiiction-LaaOrence Republican.
AKorHER PRINTER GoNE.-By recent
news, we learn of the death of Charles Stot-
Ter, from wounds received in the battle of
Prairie Grove. He was employed. for sew
eral months during the past year, In the
Journal Office. His character was such as
to win the respect and confidence of all who
knew him here. He was intelligent. kind
and generous hearted. and a good workman,
and the manner of his death attests that he
did his duty as a soldier. Incompetence in
the army, il is believed. was the cause OF
mis- death. And yet the press. public men.
and public bodies. are doing all they can to

FROM NORTH cARoL1NA.

NEW YORK, April 8.
From various correspondents the follow
ing additional facts are CLEANED relative
to Gen. Fosters position at Washington,
North Carolina:
On the Both ult, about 10000 rebels,
under Hill and PettigreW, were at the
north side Of the town, and seven regi-
ments on the south bank Of the PGmlico
river. Two companies Of the 44th Massa-
ehusetts, while on reconnaissance, marched
right into the ambuscade suffering con-
siderably from a whitening fire Of mus
kerry at short range Captain Lyons
Company of North Carolina troops were
also badly cut up, three er four killed,
and six or eight wounded; among the lat
ter Captain Lyon.
The gunb1at Commodore Holt opened on
the rebels, scattering them. That night
the rebels took up all the buoys in the
river and planted batteries in such posi-
tions along the banks as to render it al
most impossible for vessels to pass, and
established themselves on Red Hill, some
two miles from the town, completely COM
manding our works. The next day the
Commodore Holt got aground and was
struck thirty times by the rebel batteries,
but finally got of Two transports with
troops unsuecessfully attempted to reach
Foster.
A small lighter succeeded in reaching
Foster with supplies and ammunition.
Hill notified Foster to remove all women
and children, as it was intended to shell
the town, but up to the ID had not been
done, as our gunbOats had kept the battery
fully engaged. On the 4th more gunboats
arrived, and others, with 81 inch guns,
were expected on the 9TH.
The fort is heavily sodded, and Foster
has over 1000 troops. .r .-rr.
A Newbern letter, dated the Sd, 10 P. NJ,
states that the gunbOats arrived at the
mouth Of the river. It is thought they
will be able to demolish the rebel batter
les. Generals Palmer and Prince have
taken such steps as lead to the removal of
all fears for the safety Of Foster.
The rebels are reported as having 5000
men on the road between NeWbern and
Washington.

Important Results Achieved,
FROM CHARLESTON.
W aeurucmory A ~.

Herald's specialize IN.
Excitement here in regard to the report
ed attack on Charleston is intense. The
Navy and War Departments are still with.
out official adyices, but no doubt enter
tanned that sn attack had been made, and
the result unfavorable to the rebels.
The continued reticence of the rebel
newspapers is regarded as almost certain
evidence that they are in possession of
news which confirms that Charleston has
fallen before the combined attack of Hun
ter and Dupont. Heretofore it has been
the practice Of the rebels, whenever they
have met with success, to send flag Of
truce across the RappahannOck with copies
of their papers announcing the news.
Besides this, their pickets are very
gloomy, and decline to converse at all on
the subject of, the attack upon Charles
ton, nor allow any of their papers to
come across the river.
The Navy Department is in hourly ex-
peetation of receiving information re-
garding the attack, which they know was
to have been commenced last Thursday.
A prominent official in the Navy De-
partment today made the remark that by
this time the officers on board our iron
clads we're either in Charleston or in
Heaven.

Of bribery By Simon Cameron to secure his
election as United States Senator, have
made q report, finding him guilty of the
charge It will be remembered that a
member of the House asserted that Cam
sron offered him $4,000 for his vote
Cameron's friends asserted that the charge
was false, and that Mr.. Cameron would
authoritatively deny it, but we believe the
denial Was never made. If the charge has
been sustained by satisfactory evidence, it
will be enough to consign Cameron to pri-
vate life ever after, we trust. We want
no bargain and sale Of our public offices.

The situati0n at CharIeslon.

~ lAAAlAAAA II LUANAlNA.La
1ho news received this morning goes to
sheW that Charleston has indeed fallen
into Federal hands. It is reported that
the Navy Department has definite infor-
nation that the attack was certainly to be
made on Thursday last and that one who
is in > position to know as mueh as any
body upon the subject remarked that the
officers Of the ironclads were now in
Charleston or in Heaven. The rebels at
Fredericksburg are particularly gloomy,
and are extremely ehary of sending our
army rebel papers, which they readily do
whenever they eanrepOrt anything like a
victory or drawn battle. A letter dated
of Charleston on Wednesday stated that
the aest was busy hanging chains to the
sides Of the vessels to protect the machin-
cry, and that the Admiral was expected
that day, when il vas thought the bonn
bardment would begin. The Richmond
Sentinel Of the 9TH says that the long ex-
pected contest for Charleston has come Of,
and it waits for the result with solicitude.
All these facts point to the conclusion
that the attack has really been made ere
this, and we look with the greatest anxiety
to the receipt Of reliable news from the
feet. We believe that the Stars and
Stripes now wave over the city Of treason.

DEATH OF AN UKKEowN Man ON THE
oARs.-Last evening, Wednesday, about
a quarter past seven o'clock, man got on
board freight train on the Lake Shore
Road, at Springfield Station, which was go
ing West. he goton the front of the train
and walked back to the eaboose over the tops
of the cars while the train was in motion.
Entering the caboose, he laid down and went
to sleep. Nothing peculiar was observed in
his conduct. When the train was in the vi
einity of Wick1ifTe, between one and two
o'clock this morning, the stranger got up,
and coming toward brakeman, who was in
the car, said, q am deadly sick; feel as
though my stomach was on fire." He add
ed that he thought he had got the measles.
The brakeman advised him to go back and
lie down again. TIE stranger started back
but stumbled and fell over the stove to the
floor He raised himself partially on his
elbow, and falling back expired almost in
stantly. 1t was 20 minutes before 2 O'Clock,
when he died. When the train reached the
depot the body was taken to the room of de-
pot officer Warren, and the Coroner summon
ed. The conductor of the train was
Thomas Adams.
The man was short and stout built, and
apparently twenty five years of age. He
had in his pocket passport from Prussia to
this country, dated February, 1868, and a
wallet containing S. bill and some scrip.
There was also small, white-faced gold
watch in his pocket. He spoke English
quite well, the conductor says. He did not
appear to be intoxicated atall.
The keeper of the William Tell House,
in the vicinity of the depot, says the strang-
er stopped at his house on Tuesday night.
He was accompanied by man and woman
and said be came from Cincinnati. he was
somewhat intoxicated thatnight.
The Coroner came, and after hearing the
circumstances of the mans death related
concluded to hold no inquest. The body will
be buried to-day. It is not known what his
name is, or where he belongs.

DIse6nrsed OHIO soldIers.

A correspondent writes that about one
hundred and fifty discharged soldiers from
the Army Of the Potomac are received and
paid Of in Washington daily by Major
Taylor Of Ohio. The whole arrangement
for caring for these men, preserving them
from the sharpsrs, and putting them safe
ly on the way home; deserves more than q
passing notice.
As fast as the men arrive at Washing
ton they are met by the agent Of the San
itsry Commission, who escorts them to the
"rest," where they are lodged and fed un-
til they can be paid of. In this respect
their wants are all anticipated. A dor
mitory, capable Of lodging all who come,
is fitted up for their use. A dining hail.
where the tables, laden with the best Of
food, stand ready at al hours, and attend
ed by Obliging servants, offers its COM
pensation for months Of Hhard-tack and
pork ratiOns. In an adjoining apartment
q surgeon makes the proper examinations
for pension papers, which are all made
out correctly, while in still another, the
soldier is furnished with passage ticket
to any part Of the United States at Gov
ernment rates. By the time he is rested,
his papers have been examined, when
he is psid Of, and a responsible agent ac-
companies him to the train. All these ac-
eommOdations afforded the broken down
soldier are entirely free Of charge, and
speak nObly for the efficiency and care of
the Sanitary Commission, and the officers
in charge.
The average amount each soldier re-
csives is about one hundred dollars, max
ing an expenditure of over three hundred
thousand dollars a month, and employing
q force of eight or nine clerks.
