The Dayton Empire, of the evening be-
fore Vallandigham was arrested had an
article taunting the Union men because be

his arrest, it published an article of the
most migratory character. 1t was, in
fact, a call upon the Vallandigham seces
sionists to commence civil war in Ohio
The following extract will show the charac
ter of the article; the italics are those of the
Empire:

our freedom through the fiery ordeal of the

at hand, much nearer than the unthinkinl
men suppose, when it will be decided
whether we are to remain free or bear oul
necks to the despot's heel. The oontes
will be fearful one. It will involve th'
loss of many lives, and immense destruction
of property. Men in afiuenee to-day vii

MTKREBTINa AND PRoPHEFIc.

A man having . passion for ,searuhiue IA;
antiquities will End the history Of Kansas r.
plete with fragments Of literature. The fr,s
Territorial Legislature. and in fast au the ruf.
fan assemblies which we Afterwards had, con-
sidered it their province to legislate upon sla.
very; but when the Free State party came in
power, and attempted to legislate upon the same
subject, popular sovereignty was applied.
But.n matter-let "by cones be by gones"; the
sword is accomplishing what popular sover-
eighty" cannot avert. The following are ex-
tracts Of the "Msjority Report Of the Special
Committee to whom was referred House Bill
No. 79, exempting Slaves from Execution" The
report starts out in the following lofty and
humane style:
According to the theory Of our Government,
the people are sovereign, and we are their ser
wants. Shall we attempt to change our relative
positions with the people, and poise the pyramid
Of government upon its apexf Who constituted
people to be told that they are entitled to re-
ceive our favorsf' s1
"Is it fraud to prevent the household SER
wants Of the young bride from being sold to pay
the debts Of her proAigate husband Is Il
fraud to prevent the infant slave from being
torn from the bosom Of its mother, and sold
under the hammer of the public auctioneer?"
The Minority Report of the same COMMITTEES
says. in opposition to the Bill: "t will also
hold out inducements to reckless and unpsinci
pied men to invest their whole property in
negroes which they know to be exempt from q
just liability of their honest debts" What
choice between the two? The Majority Report
argues in this style: "Should this become q law
Slavery, in Kansas at least, will be regarded in
q new light. and the enemies of the South will
be robbed of the most plausible excuse for theil
blind and frenzied hostility tc our institutions
The design of the Bills not to compromise with
Northern fanaticism, but to dispossess our enc
mics of their arnor-to spike their cannon" He
then points Northern fanaticism to the West
Indies, and after giving figures showing de-
crease in the productions of those islands since
the abolition of Slavery, winds up in the follow.
ing prophetic manner:
"Such are the consequences and contamination
of triumphant fanaticism. It is no fancy sketch

Col. Kit Carson was in the city during

on visit to Taos, where bis family resides,
and portion of whom have been i'll.
The colonel is now going to Fort Win
gate, in the Navajo country, to take COM
mand of the forces, composed Of the New
Mexican volunteers, that are to make the
campaign this spring against the Navajo
Indians. He, with his regiment, soon
subdued the main portion Of the Mescalero
Apaches last winter, and it is confidently
expected that they will be equally success
full this spring with the Navajos. Colonel
Carson is one of the oldest mountain men
We have in New Mexico; be knows Mr..
Indian well; knows how to manage him in
peace and how to fight him in war his
regiment is composed almost entirely of
natives of the country, who takes especial
delight in chastising the Indians, and par
ticularly the Navajoes, because Of the
suffering they have been made to feel at tbs
hands Of the savages hence We expect to
be able to announce q successful termina-
,ion Of the campaign. Neither the General
commanding the department, nor the Col

satisfied with less than complete victory.

The Pacific Railroad.

s The Western division sxtssdine from the
Eastern bo1ndary Of California to the mani.
gable waters of the Sacramento liver. or 70
San Francisco, California. crosses the Sierra
Nevada Mountains, and is the most difficult
Of the whole line. The elevation necessary
70 bs attained in crossing is 1000 feet
above Sacramento, which BY judicious Sc
lection of route, is reached BY . maximum
grade of los feet per mile, or bat ten feet
more than the grade Of the Philadelphia
route, and eleven feet less than the grade of
the Baltimore and Ohio road, and fourteen
feet less than that Of the Santiago Railroad.
The western slope Of the Sierras il inter-
sected By some dozen rivers, running
through gorges or canons, in msny places
from 1000 to 1000 feet in depth, with side
slopes varying from perpendicular to an
angle of forty-6ve degrees. The line Of
road must Of course avoid these rivers, and
as surveyed, follows IN unbroken ridge
from base to summit of the Sierra Nevada,
crossing but one river, the Little Bear, u
an elevation Of 6fty feet, and . span ol
about the same number Of feet. The road
crosses the Sierrss in Summit Valley ct au
elevation of 70215Iet above the top Of the
Levee st Sacramento.
The eastern descent is accomplished with
less difficulty, and reaches the base Of the
mountains in la miles. The survey car.
ries the road about 13 miles beyond the
State line, making distance Of 155 miles
in all, which distance it is estimated ca1 be
accomplished in 81 hours, or about twenty
miles per hour. Rather than 60 around
the sharp points Of ridges, these obstruc-
tions are to be overcome BY tuaneling.
There will thus be 18 tunnels on this por.
tion Of the route, the shortest being 300
feet and the longest 1870 feet These tun.
nels can be worked from both ends, and dc
not require any shafting. The estimated
cost Of these l55 miles is 1870, ,000-oz
$85, ,6l2.90 per mile. The total cost of the
entire route from Council Bluffs to Sacra.
mento City, distance Of 1858 miles, il
estimated at 500, $1,000 The receipts Of
the Western or California portion Of the
route are estimated at 1864, ,240; the
total expenses in round numbers at 81, ,0O0, :
600, leaving net profit Of IS per cent. on
an investment Of SIS, 900, 900. The route
lies through extensive forests Of pitch, aod
sugar pine, fir, cedar, and tamarack, the
latter in large Quantities, and serviceable as
railroad ties About 60 miles have been
completed of the Sacramento end Of the
route. and the work is awaiting the receip,
of railroad iron from Europe.

L0nch Law IN AtsAibon.-wtsee pealt Opt .
The city of Atchison was : scene Of wild
excitement on Monday. The diuturhancs
vas caused BY the hangiie, by large
crowd of citizens, of a rufian and thief
named Sterling. The circumstances, a. We
learned them from resident of that place,
are a. follows: csS>A
Last Saturday night four men went to
the house Of Mr.. Kelsey, who lives near
the head of the Big Stranger, and asked
admittancc. Upon Kelsey opening the door
the rufians rushed in, knocked both Kelsey
and his wife down, aud beat the former over
the head in terrible manner. They then
robbed the house of $40 in money, and,
taking With them four horses, left. The
next morning, several of the neighbors
started in pursuit, and finally caught the
guilty parties at Atchisop. Two Of them
we're named Sterling and two Of them Par
ker. Upon bringing them before the Re-
corder on Monday morning, ono Of the
Parkers turned States evidence, and told
the whole story. A crowd of the citizens
soon gathered, took the prisoners from
official custody, and escorted them into the
woods short distance from town, where
they hung one of the Sterlings. The others
begged so hard that their lives we're spared.
When our informant left, the excitement
was still intense, and it was thought further
violence would be used. -
Kelsey has lately been herding Govern
ment stock, and it was thought he had just
received large supply Of money. This
fact is supposed to have induced the williams
TO rob him Conservative.

UNION LEAGUES.

The apologizers of treason-men whose pro-
slavery instincts lead them to justify assaults
upon the Government, but whose circumstances
or want of manhood forbid the overt act-have
organizations, of secret nature, throughout the
North. Their object is to counteract the efforts
of the Administration in securing a permanent
peace BY means of the war power. which would
result advantageously to the whole country at
the expense of their rebel brethren. The sensi-
tiyeness Of this class of men, in this particular
is pretty certain indication that rebellion is an
offspring of slavery. Hence all their efforts in
opposition to the anti slavery attitude of the
Administration. That these secret coadjutors Of
rebellion exist in the very heart of loyalty, none
can doubt. Every civil process known in our
courts is rcsorted to by these creatures to shirk
the responsibilities of citizenship in this hour of
necessity. Facts have come to light, thoroughly
convincing that they are furthermore bound to a
forcible resistance of any compulsory acts of the
Government. Bloodshed is thrcataped by them
if the conscription is attemfDf to be enforced.
The conscription will speedily be enforced.
The volunteer system has drained the country
Of the thoroughly loyal, leaving lukewsrm and
unfriendly mass of people subject to the opera
tions of the conscription. Not all are thus, but
a sufficient number TO create difficulty. Their
threats, then. will soon eliminate. It behooves
loyalists to be organized and prepared for the
threatened emergency. The recent demonstra-
tions in Ohio, over the arrest of Vallandigham,
but evince their earnestness.
Union Leagues have been formed all over the
country. Our number should be known, in view
of the fact that loyalty treason must soon have
the ascendancy. By notice in another column
it will be seen that they have such association
in Manhattan, and we know not why Davis
County should be behind. Our numbers should
be added to swell the column. Loyalists should
be prepared to meet the worst.
A circular appears in the Leavenworth papers,
signed by E. N. o. Clough, Grand Secretary Of
the Grand Council for the State Of Kansas, Civ
ing the following directions for the establish
ment of subordinate associations: Let petition
be prepared, signed by three men of known and
undoubted loyalty, to the Grand Council of the
U. L. A. for the State of Kansas, and directed to
the Secretary, setting forth the state of the
Union sentiment in their vicinity and requesting
charter, and that some one be deputized to
open an organization at place stated, and
agreeing to pay the expenses of such person and
the regular fees for the same. Also, if unknown
to the Secretary, referring to some person Of
persons of known loyalty in Leavenworth t.
establish their reputation.
Cogent arguments have been produced agains
secret political societies, but where the issue il
narrowed down to loyalty or disloyalty w
cannot think patriot will have any compunc
tion, when, too, counter societies exist.
