E'WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE
NIGHT!,,
NO. II,


Notwithstanding the consistent piety of
large portion of our people, and the loud
professions of all, we have been practically
a nation Of atheists. Our fathers laid down
the eternal and immutable principles of
truth and justice, as the foundation of our
political edifce; but in rearing the super
structure they failed to display the skill of
perfect architects, by the introduction of
materials which greatly marred its beauty,
aud destroyed its otherwise harmonious
proportions. Instead of attempting to re-
move these incongruities, we have commit
ted the grieyous fault Of endeavoring to
enlarge them, until it has become an accu-
mulated mass of deformity, and, as might
be expected, is crumbling into ruins.
We have said that our conduct as a nation
has become essentially atheistical. Is it not
so? Instead of conducting public affairs
with view of enlarging the happiness of the
people-of elevating and purifying them,
we have so administered the government as
to crafty our lust for power and dominion.
We have manifestly placed a higher value
upon filthy lucre than upon immortal intelli-
gence, and have endeavored to coin gold, as
it were, out of mangled humanity. We
have disreearded all the demands of truth
and justice-have ignored the Almighty
and his divine attributes; and even now,
uumindful of the signs and tears-deaf to
the wailings that reverberate throughout the
land. the controlling power of our Govern
ment seems to be moved only by an idola-
trous reverence for Mammon, and it is
willing that the great national heart shall
pour out its crimson hbation upon the altar
of the glittering god.
This language may seem, to some, to be
too strong and uncharitable; but truth con-
strains US to after it.
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1863-02-14

The Almighty has hitherto favored thi.
nation above all others. Great indeed ha.
been its power for good, and SO signal,
falling to perform the great mission fol
which it was called into existence, terribl.
must be Its punishment. Unless it learns
to rule in righteousness, it must perish
from the earth.
ITO know ourselves diseased, is half our
cure" The malady under which this ma
ton is languishing. almost unto death, is
infdelity. We do not use the term in the
illogical sense; but we mean infidel to Gods
holy law-to his eternal purpose. We seem
to ignore our national obligations to hin,
and Vainly, impiOusly imagine, we can en-
JOY peace and prosperity without comply
ing with the conditions on which all happi-
ness rests-submission to Gods will. This
wicked delusion has fastened itself upon the
public mind to such an extent, that the fin
ger of scorn is ready to be pointed at any
one who talks about power higher than the
Constitution, or who expresses a greater
reverence for Gods command than for the
edicts of drunken blackguards.
If such is the disease, what is the
remedy Simply, cease to do evil, and learn
to do well. We said on former occasion,
that brighter skies were before us; we think
SO still. But our hope rests in the very
fact that God is bringing the nation to judg
ment. The signs of the times are exhibit
ing his wisdom and power. Our national
trangressions have eliminated. The wick
edness of the people is supplying the instru-
ments of punishment and correction. AS
we have said, great has been our transgres-
sion; so, terrible indeed must be our suffer-
ing. But we have faith to believe that under
its sanctifYing influence we shall experience
a salvation. The suffering through which
we are passing will be greater or less, as
we persist in or change the evil of our
ways.
In our next, we will endeavor to point out
more particularly the dangers which now
threaten US on every side.

There is, at last, vote on the question
of the location of the State University The
bills relating to public institutions were
made the special order for last Friday after
noon. The bill for the location at Emporia
was taken up. and the motion made to
adopt it.
Mr.NMitchell, of Douglas county, moved
As an amendment, tostrike out all of the bill
after the enacting clause and insert ali of the
bill locating the University at Lawrence.
On this motion Mr.. Emery, the champion
of Lawrence, made speech.
Mr.. Eskridge followed him, 10 a remark
ably forcible and telling speech. He pre-
scented the claims Of the south for some
share in the public iustitutions-the advan-
tagss Of Emporis-its centrality and eligi-
bility. the qualifications demanded by the
Constitution. He showed how unjust it Is
to regard only the towns lying in the valley
Of the Kansas; how much injury has been
dous the State by Douglas county and heI
leading citizens; how delinquent she ha.
beeh in paying her taxes; and how false was
the offer of donation of $4,000. He mel

Private letters from Gen. Grant announce

Private letters from Gen. Grant announce
that he has commenced still another canal
the last having proven failure. He says
he will take Vicksburg yet, but admits it g
hard task.
During the past week the President has
determined upon calling Mcclellan TO the
command of the army again. Upon the
announcement being made in a Cabinet
council, there was great furry. Secretary
Chase threatened at once to resign, as did
also the rest of the radical members. For
this and other reasons, the President deter
mined to make no change for the present.
Within two weeks, however, there is scarce
Iva doubt but that the command of the
army will be rendered TO Gen. Mcclellan.
The last vestige of hope entertained by
Ehe rebels that they had raised the blockade,
has now disappeared. The later dispatches
show that none of our boats were sunk, that
the line of the blockading feet was not bro
ken, and that our capture of the steamer
Princess Royal far overbalanced any losses
we sustained.

STATIsrrcAL.-Mr Beam of Franklin
county has introduced bill in the House
of Representatives, making it the duty Of the
assessors of the various counties, at the
time they make the annual assessments, to
obtain from the farmers statements of the
amount Of their crops, number of animals,
&C., the same to be returned to the county
clerks, who are to furnish abstracts to the
Auditor of State, from which he is to make
an annual report of the State. This lie an
important measure. It has been in practi-
cal'opersiion in Ohio for several years, and
if put in practice in Kansas, will lead 10 the
collection of information which win be in
valuable TO the intelligent farmers of the
State. The bill will doubtless pass; bat care
should be taken that its provisions be not
50 loosely drawn as to enable any officers
charged with any duty under it to shrink
from the discharge of that duty.-Topeka

Our Topeka correspondent gives US the
vote on the University bill. 1t is located,
30 far as the House is concerned, at Law
renee. This is entirely unexpected to US.
We scarcely hoped for the success Of EN-
poria, at this session; but we certainly did
not expect that Lawrence would get it, for
these reasons: She is less than forty miles
from the eastern border of the State. The
State is, if we recollect right, about 400
miles wide. Lawrence is some seventy
miles north Of the center of the State. The
Constitution Of the State requires that the
University shall be located centrally. An
other reason why we would not have vot-
cd for Lawrence for the University or any
thing else, is, that she has disgraced Kick
apoo and Oxford in ballot box stuffing and
election frauds. When the Capital question
was up, Lawrence men were scouting the
country, electioneering. We had every as
surance that if Emporia and surrounding
country would use her influence for Law
renee, she in turn would do everything to
throw the University here. This was the
understanding here by all the people, and
they walked up to the baliot-bOx and voted
fer Lawrence. They performed their part
in good iaith, and the county was turned
from what it naturally was-overwhelming-
ly for Topeka-to a small majority for
Lawrence. Emporia went almost unani-
mously for her. Now, we've got our pay.
They had plenty of money, and were not
wanting in corruptionists. Lawrence could
not have received ten votes for the Univer-
sity, had she not used money like water.
They bought the University. They didn't
gel it on just grounds. They are so used
to buying and selling and ballot-bOx stufing,
that they didn't want it unless they could
get it corruptly.

The Thorp and Beam case in the State
Senate has been decided in favor of Mr..
Thorp. the contestant. by an almost unan-
imous vote of the Senators, because of the
illegal votes cast for Mr.. Beam. This makes
two sessions of the Safe Senate, which
have been occupied large share of the
time in contested seats from Douglas coun-
ty, at the cost Of thousands to the State.
Such things are enough to damn the name
of any county in the State.

We see that one Mitchell Democrat of
Lecompton, who has a map of Kansas, and
who, at each successive session, gets the
Legislature to go through the miserable
humbug of buying 100 of his maps-has
introduced bill to abolish the publication
of the delinquent tax list, in each county.
If this bill could be of any benefit to the
people, or to the State or county treasures,
we would not oppose it. The land and town
lets are advertised, the county issuing the
scrip for the pay of the printer, and after
ward the amount comes back to the county
the advertising expenses being collected
when the taxes are paid. The law comes
bard on non resident spectators who own
large tracts of land, and serves good pur-
pose to make those who would not other
wise pay their tax, do so to save the adver-
Using expenses. AS the new law is intended
to benefit that class alone, we hope it will
not pass.

FROM THE ELEVENTH.
CAssv1LLE, Mo, 9th JAM, 18t

CAssvILLE, Mo-, 9th JAN, 1868.
Strategy" or something else equally in
mprehensible, has brought the Army of
the Frontier back to Missouri-and it is
scattered over hundred miles of country,
from here to Springfield, and on to Forsyth
wherever forage can be had. The head
quarters of the Kansas Division-Col. Weer
commanding-ar at present at this place.
Gen. Schofeld has gone to Springfeld-it
is said, to arrange with Gen. Curtis for a
campaign against Little Rock, by way Of
Batesville, Ark. But the most prevalent
and probable rumor is, that the infantry
will all be ordered to Vicksburgh, by way
of st. Louis and the Mississippi river
leaving the defense of this country to the
cavalry and Indians. Criticism, in this as
in most military movements, is of no avail
but I cannot help saying that, it this
army had been properly managed, when it
first took the field, it might have made an
overland campaign against Little Rock with
assurance of success, and thus now have
been in position to make a demonstration
South, which would have materially aided
in the operations against Vicksburgh. AS it
was, we lost the snowless days and mudless
roads of autumn and early winter, until
now land transportation is next to impos
sible. -...r.
That the troops here may be needed at
Vicksburgh, is highly possible. Butt VEN
ture the assertion that so soon as they are
removed from here, there will be move
ment of the enemy upon this portion of the
country which will either lose it to us, or
compel the hasty return of the army now
iutrusted with its defense.
The Paymaster is daily expected, with
money for the payment of the troops. He
will be welcome enough.
The Eleventh is still son its pins" The
health of the men is, think, improving,
though there are many sick. Those in hos
pital at Fayetteville will be sent to Spring
field, as fast az they convalesce. Captain
Heritage's wound has healed, but he will
not be fit for duty for some time, on account
of the contraction of the nerves of his leg.
He will probably return to Emporia to re-
cruit. a s.t
