CAMP OF 9TH KANSAS VoLUSTEERsl
February 29th, 1868,
Ny Dear Sir: nlH 90. f4
Some time since the Louisville Journal,
in a notice of the late sneech Of Hon.
M. +. CONWAY, of Kansas, states, with
its usual regard for veracity, that said
speech was 40 doubt thrown out by the
"radicals" as 'feelerp This, althoug h
that paper well knew that the resolutions
with which MIR. G. accompanied his
speech, were voted down in the House of
Representatives, with but a single dis
senting voico-CoNwAY's own Similar
Misrepresentation have found their way
into all of the "CoRseyatiUe" papers.
Now, the position of Mr.. CoNwAY's
own State shows clearly the utter falsity
of the charge, that his views are re-
ceived with favor by the Republicans or
radicals. No one, l suppose, doubts that
Kansas is a radical State. She is more
uncompromising IN her anti-slavery SEN
timents than any other State in The Union.
Yet every Republican paper in the State
has earnestly repudlated CoNwAY,s re-
Gently proclaimed views, and denounced
the author Of them. The Kansas Sena
lately passed resolutions rebuking Mr, O.
in rather mild terms. Said resolutions
passed the Senate unanimously. They
came before the House, but were not
strong enough for that body, which
adopted a substitute, branding urfaith-
less Representative in Congress as q trail
tor 20 his party and his country. There
were but eight votes out Of aboIt seventy
against this substitute. Several Of the
eight were Democrats, and others voted
nay only because they had not read Con-
WAYS speech, and could not therefore eX-
press an opinion concerning IT, This aC-
tion was taken in a Legislature almost
unanimously Republican. There is
hardly grease SPIT of Democracy in IT,
The people of Kansas are down on all
men why cry ."peace, when there Is no
peace whether such be Republicans Of
the CONWAY stamp, or Democrats like

sequences seems to have driven the most
far seeing people of the world mad-all

equal rights, and TO great extent, of
common origin. They break out at once
and slaughter each other, and such
slaughters that il almost chills the blood

an Official Inquiry Ordered into the Failgre

Princess Royal

The Southern Confederacy has lately
been made the dupe Of a notable imposi-
tion. II was said, printed, echoed, and
reverberated over the land, that on GER
tain night our two iron clad vessels at
Charleston had sunk two, disabled one,
and disposed Of the rect Of the hleeLsd-
ing squadron off Charleston barber Now
we learn with pain and certainty, that no
ship was sunk, none disabled, and 70
damage, in short, was done TO the block
aiding squadron, which consisting of
wooden ships, only avoided fight with
our iron. clads, and most jUdiciously, un-
Ill they brought up iron clads of their
own, which they Immediately did. Furih-
err, we regret to say that the British
steamer Princess Royal, laden with the
most precious cargo that ever entered
Charleston, had been captured the night
before by Federal gunboat; that she
was alongside Of that gunboat within a
mile and a half of the shore; that The
naval authorities at Charleston were
made aware of her capture, value and
situAtion--and yet our victorious iron
clAds did not rescue her from that gum
boat, but allowed her TO be carried out
to sea. We would rather praise than cen :
sure, but the truth must be told. An Of
ficial inquiry is TO be made OF this mis-
management Of an enterprise which may
never be so favorable again, ..r.,

Our readers are aware that the late Hon. Dan
iel Webster was not so careful in bis pecuniary
matters as some men, and his fault at times
taken advantage of. At one time q Door man saw
ed pile OF wocd for him, and having presented
bis bill, it was promtly paid by Mr.. Webster
The laborer took sick during the winter, and a
neighbor advised him 20 call upon Mr.. Webster
for the payment Of his bill
I" But he has paid me, said the man.
"No matter" replied his dishonest adviser,
" call again with it. He don't know and don't
mind what he pays. 1t is a very common thing
for him to pay such small bills over twice"
The man got well, and carried his account a
second time. Mr.. Webster looked at the man,
remembered him but paid the bill without de-
murring.
The fellow got short" some three or four
months afterwards, and betnought him of the
generosity and loose Eanner of Mr.. Webster in
bis money matters; aud third time be called
and presented the bill for saving the wood
Mr.. Webster took the account which he imme-
diately recognized, and scanning the wood saw.
yer mement, be said
"How do you keep your books, sir I"
81 keep no books" said the man abashed.
81 think you do, sir" continued Mr.. Webster
with marked emphasis and you excel those
who are satisfied with the double entry system
You keep your books upon a triple.entry plan
l observe"
Tearing up the account, Mr. Webster added
"Go, sir, and be honest hereafter have NJ
objections to paying these little bills twice, bu
cannot pay them three times. You may re
tire"
The man left the room, feeling as though b,
vas sufiocatng for want of air BE had learned
lesson that lasted through life.

On the 18th of February. 1868, a squad Of
soldiers were sent 10 conscript James McCollum
Of Green county, Tennessee, very respectable
industrious man, thirty or thirty five Years ol
age. They found him feeding bis cattle. When

" Did you ever dive"

doing, or did you hold your breath -

the Government and country ask Of YOU now.
If you can't say anything in favor of the war
and against the rebellion, hold yssr breath
