can get what goods they desire from the
United States, and large quantities of pork
are now being shipped. HAVANA is be-
coming depot of blockade runners. Two
steamers left Nassau recently to run be-
tween Havanna and Galveston. Large
quantities of goods have been sent from
New York to Canadian ports, and from
there to Nassau and Wilmington.

The very latest rebel intelligence from
either column of General Shermans army
placed General slocum;s column at Green's
boro, on the Georgia State Railroad, "a
miles west of Augusta, on the. 2Oth, and
General Howards column at Toombsboro,
on the Georgia Centrsl Railroad, 145 miles
from Savannah, on the 22d Both columns
had crossed the ocomulgee and Oconee
rivers, the two principal streams on the
route of the march, and were, at the dates
mentioned, fully half wlyto Savannah.
The World thinks it is not likely that
Lee has sent,a large force to Georgia, and
says the rebels must rely upon the levies
called out by Governor Brown, of Geor-
gia, and Governor Bonham, of South Car
olina, to reinforce the troops which have
probably reached Augusta from Savannah,
Charleston and Wilmington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.
An official report to the Navy Depart
ment shows that extraordinary efforts were
made by the Atlanta, as well as by those
on board the Florida, to save the latter
vessel, and it was only when the impossi-
bility of preventing her from sinking be-
came apparent, that further attempts were
abandoned

An Intercepted Letter.

A rebel spy was recently killed near
Springfield, Mo-, and letters found on him
from rebel officers in Prices army to their
friends in the counties bordering on the
river between Jefferson City and Bonneville.
The following is an extract from one of
them it is written by Col. Gordon to his
wife or sweetheart, and dated near Jackso-
port, Arkansas, Sept. 7th:
"Gen Price left Princeton, Ark, last
Tuesday week, on his way here, with 81
600 or 5000 cavalry. Brig. Gen. T. o.
Shelby has about 5000 cavalry on White
river. Gen. Shelby leaves for Missouri to-
morrow. by way of Bloomfield, General
Price will form a junction with Shelby at
that place in few days. Then we march,
by way Of Rolla, direct to Jefferson City.
We go to Jefferson City with about 12 900
cavalry; from there l don't know where
we go. think I~shall travel in wester-
ly direction. I don't think there are Feds
and militia enough to keep me from seeing
you. The old militia had better keep out
of the way of Shelby's brigade. We come
to stay until whipped out of the State,
Our little army Is in fine condition and
good spirits. The infantry are in good
health. The confederate troops are in high
glee, having gained many glorious victo.
ries all over the confederacy and in the
trans-M ssissippi department we have met
with unparalleled success"

center, and cut off the right wing from the
main body of their army.
Kershaw's division of Longstreet's corps,
which had been detached by Early to pro-
tect his communications, and especially to
guard the railroad at Culpepper. arrived in
time to take part in the fight at Fisher
Hill, but they came too late to infuse cour-
age into the hearts Of their dispirited, de-
moralized comrades. They shared the same
fate, and were forced to retreat along with
the rest of the rebel army.
The strong cavalry force which moved
into the Luray Valley on Wednesday are
actively employed in the rebel rear and
TANKS in gathering in prisoners. Hundreds
have been picked up, and hundreds are
comipgin and voluntarily giving themselves
UP.
Captured rebel officers say that their force
in the battle on Monday was twenty two
Thousand.
Our soldiers are in glorious spirits and
anxious to be led forward. Our cavalry by
this time have probably reached Harrison
burg, which is about forty miles south west
of Woodstock.
Hundreds of prisoners are coming into
| Winchester, every few hours. The town
is one vast hospital and rebel prison. There
are over six thousand rebel prisoners, in
Guiding the wounded, congregated here.
Fifteen hundred privates and one hundred
and twenty officers from Colonies down,
were sent to Harper's Ferry yesterday
The prisoners are well-dreesed, hearty,
healthy set of men, who look as though
living in the Valley had agreed with them.
A goodly proportion of the Privates have
already asked permission to take the oath
of allegiance. All of them express them
selves tired OF fighting, and hope that the
war will soon cease.
Rebel officers captured admit the com.
pleteness of their defeat, and express fears
that it will result iHthe aunihilation OF Ear
| ly's army. Reinforcements they say are
out of the question, as Lee cannot spare any
more men from Petersburg to defend Lynch
burg.
Thus has the disgrace of our various de.
feats in this valley of humiliation beer
wiped out by glorious little Phil. Sheridan
and his brave army.

Our Candidate for Secretary of State.


r. A. Barker, our candidate for Secretary
of State, is man of integrity and ability,
without a stain or blot on his character
He is a lawyer by profession. He settled
in Atchison in the spring of 1860. and en-
tered upon the practice of his profession.
where by his gentlemanly deportmet be
won the esteem aud respect of all with
whom he became acquainted
When the war broke out, he was one of
the first to lay his services and life upon the
alter of his country. He devoted his en-
tire time and energies towards raising COM
pany K of the 1st Kansas Volunteers, the
first company raised in tbs county for the
war. He was elected second Lieutenant
by the company. He was in the bloody
and hard fought battle of Wilson's Greek,
where he received three wounds in the first
of the fight, one in the head, one in the hand
and one in the foot, yet did not leave the
field, although urged to do so by his men.
for they feared he would fall from loss of
blood.
When the 1st Lieutenant, who was in
command of the company, fell, he assumed
command, although covered with wounds,
and remained in command till the battle
was over. He was left in the hospital in
Springfield when our army retreated to
Rolla, being unable to be removed. He re-
manned in the hands of the rebels for six
weeks. and, after being released, joined his
command, but, being unft for military duty,
resigned his position in the company, and
returned to Atchison, where he again re-
sumed the practice of his profession. Since
his return, he has twice been elected 10 the
office of City Attorney, which position he
has filed with honor to himself and to the
entire satisfaction to the people of this city.
Mr.. Barker received the unanimous nom.

zion, and that he will be elected to the Office
of Secretary of State in November next

subordinate, Gen. Gilmore, demanding

Butler replied that he would not pause
for defensive operations. Gen. Gilmore

changes, even if they had been ordered"

doing he could retrieve the misfortunes

Butler. We are glad, however, to sec

patriotism displayed by him since thu
