The PAST wEEK-Between the warm discussions
on the ministerial appointments, the various rumors
of changes in government offices. and the shooting
affray. we have had an exciting week OF It. IL IS
difficult for most persons to determine what to credit
and what to doubt. The appointment of the Minis
try, however, may be set down as s fact, and a most
unfortunate fact. too, for the general disappointment
is too clear and loud to be mistaken. Had q hint OF
the proposed choice been allowed to.leak out, so that
the popular opinion might have been known, and the
sense OF the Kings advisers even been taken. the
unfortunate event might perhaps have been avoided.
But the new Ministry has been sprung on the
people rs slyly as a rat-trap springs on its victim.
Every one anticipates a fierce and strong party con-
test from it.
- Besides these, We hear of various reports, such
as nominations for Judges here and there, Governors
for the various islands. Privy Councillors. and for
almost every other office vacant or filed. Few Of
these reports are worthy of credit. In due time the
appointments will be announced, an0 We trust that
we shall have at least as good a display OF govern
mental talent in the various departments as We have
had during the past few years-which is not saying
very much to our credit.
- Among other ramors we hear that the Polyne-
sian is TO be stopped, and ourselves called to do the
public printing. We have simply to add. neither OF
these reports are worthy of credit. We are not now ap-
plicants for a service which We would once cheerfully
have accepted and performed; nor do We care to be
made the tools of a Ministry which is destined to
become as odious TO the people as any that has ever
been called into office.

trell's band, to a ravine near the mills, and
there furnished him with water and wine.
This city has done much for the sufferers,
and all the Eastern cities are showing thsir lib

1t seems that large numbers of men have
recently returned to Missouri from Prices sr-
my, and are reinforcing the bushwhackers in
Southern Missouri. Unless some live man is
put in SchoHeld's place. and q new policy is
pursued in Missouri, We may expect more raids
into Kansas. There is . report even now, that
raid has just been made into Linn County.
Our border Counties are well supplied with
grain, the abundanesof productive crop, and
the temptation to the guerriIlss. living in des-
olated Missouri, is very great, to steal Of our
surplus.

Board of Commissioners met the other day, in

for the County. Probably they called to mind
the action of certain of their predecessors, who
took advantage ofa teshnicality, and failed to
assess any Territorial tax for 1860, and were
quite anxious to rival them; they therefore de-
creased the assessment on all improvements in
the County one-half, in direct violation Of Sec

decreasing Of the aggregate valuation. The

TIE PoLr11cAL BRlaAD1ER.-The St.
Louis Democrat of Thursday, the 24th.
says Gen. Loan was removed BY Scho6eld
and Gamble because Loan was killing
the rebels in Western Missouri.
The Democrat says of Gen. Loans
policy:
at taught that no man could be re.
bel with impunity. The effect was no,
50 pleasant for rebels doubtless. but to
the Union men it rendered tho highest
satisfaction. Something like peace be.
gan to be restored in the District where
Loans administration prevailed. Bush.
whacking was of rare occurrence. and
Union men began to breathe with sense
Of security.
"But the means BY which this result
was attained touched the tender hearts
of our Missouri Conservatives. Their
brthern, the rebels. who after all had gone
sstray. and were faithfully seeking their
way back into the Union iold, were being
handled entirely too roughly to suit the
delicate nerves of the Gambleites. and
the upshot of the matter was, that Loan
was removed-as was said-because of
the unnecessary severity of some of his
orders. -
Ewing was put in command of . part
of Loans district, and all the conserva-
tives and Copperheads rubbed their hands
with glee. ..Eas.
IAN administration of reason was
about to be inaugurated. The rebellion
in that section was henceforth to be put
down with speeches. arguments. persus-
sions. instead Of guns and bayonets. Su-
gar pills were to be administered to reb.
els Instead Of bullets. The Lamb was
to reign where the tiger had beeu."
The Democrats version Of the bargain
is correct. It was political intrigue Of
the Ooppsrhssds which pot Ewing in
command Of this district. General Blunt
was to b. starved ont or whipped out

A SKUNK THROWS Hrs STrsK.-The
last Forest City Sentinel is devoted prin.
cipally to ourself. A stranger would
give "Dan. Zook & Co.," the nominal
conductors of that heavy" sheet. credit
for the jumbled mp mess of "I" and
"we." did not the Christian spirit which
pervsdes the article. clearly fix the su-

slanderer." /" "dirty old liar and. we
believe. (for we have not the fortitude
to read his discharge second time. he
even calls us " hoary-beaded old liarl"
OF course. he draws heavily upon the
term" Jayhawker." Fhss-is-sn iufalli-
Bile sign of the traitor. When Nilsson
rian, after exhausting his vocabulary of
epithets upon Kansas man, caps the
climax by calling him . "Jayhawker." I"
you need seek for no farther evidence
that he is traitor dyed in the wool. and
that be is lousy. 1t hurts our feelings to
be called names by such q man.
We repeat all we asserted in our first
article. We may have made unimpor-
tant errors in details. but the substance
is fact, which Watson's Christian indig-
nation and abuse cannot change. We
have shown that he was driven from
Kansas because be was q traitor; was
driven from Iowa for being q traitor ;
that he had been q gambler, borse-racer,
and rowdy; and that he had commenced
his career Of deception in Holt County.
His mess Of slang. which he calls . re.
ply, is the language of the blackleg and
the blackguard. which cannot be con-
cealed by the ministerial garb which he
has "jayhawked." Even were we dis
posed to take to heart his application Of
elop and dish-water, we should in this
instance be inclined to overlook it, as in
addition to our expose of him. his weltsd
back, smarting from the effects of q re-.
cent severe rsw-hiding. did not serve to
sweeten his temper in the least.
