Among the incidents ofthe guerrilla raids
in Missouri, the following is told by the
Laclede UlasoniSt;
s'0n Friday evening, 9Th instant, at about
two O'clock, two bushwhackers entered the
house of William Hinkle, two miles south
ofthis place, the family, except Miss Hattie
Hmkle, being from home.
'They had dmade many threats and show
ed Miss Hinkle dead list, embracing, she

citizens of this section, all TO be slaughter
ed.
ssThe poor girl read till she came to her
fathers name, when she laid the paper
down. They then demanded their dinner.
She refused. They drew revolver and
threatened her life, but she persisted, refus-
ed, stating that she would suffer death
before she would cook for men who con-
templated the murder of her father They
stated that they had company near by,
and threatened her with death if she at
tempted to report then. Having failed to
intimidate her, they left, swearing thatthey
would kill Mr.. Weatherly, another citizen,
before night.
'tMiss Hattie contrived TO send word to
her father and Mr.. Weatherly, and came in
person to town to notify the people of the
presence ofthese cut-throats, for which the
people ofthe place should and do feel under
many obligations. ~ 4
''On, the following night Mr.. Hinkle and
his family abandoned their house, which
was entered by these knights of the brush
and the furniture and bedding, with wear
ing apparel, was thrown. into confused
mass upon the floor, and the mirror stamp

The latest exhumations at Pompeii have
resulted as follows: "Under the debris of
wall, which, up to the present time, has
offered nothing important, has now been
found an invaluable statuette, twenty cen
timetres in height. This statuette repre-
sents Silenus, who, with the left hand rails

stood, beautiful glass vase, exqusitely
worked, and decorated with gold. Of this
cup only two small fragments have as vet
been discovered-suficient, however, to
show Its value. The style of the Silenus
reminds us of the other bronze statue of the
dancing Faun. In few days it will be
placed in the National Museum, where it

that which was felt for the Narcissus not
long since discovered. In the the. same
house, besides the Silenus, two elegant can

and two large silver vases remarkable for
their size But discovery yet more inn

house, subterranesn part was found, In

A Canadian Paper on the Mr.. Lincoln's
Terms of Peace.
The Toronto Globe of Saturday, closes
long editorial on the Peace negotiations, as
follows:
Those who have looked upon the dread
ful civil war now raging in the seeded
States as ameans of removing the curse of
slavery from this continent, will rejoice to
find Mr.. Lincoln making ''the abandon
ment of slavery" equally with the restora-
ton of the whole Union an indispensable
part of 'tany proposition" for the termina- |
ton of the war. If he had asked only the |
restoration of the Union, we should hayeit |
to say that the terrible lesson of the REBEL |
ion had been wasted upon him, and that
with all his experience, he was still willing
to make terms with the s'relic of barbarism"
which has proved SO dreadful curse to |
his country. But it is otherwise. Upon |
the eve of an election at which he is a can
idadate-and at a time when he is de-
manding 500, 600 more men to fight the
battles Of the Union-Mr. Lincoln declares,
without circumlocution, that the abandon
ment of slavery" must be condition in any
proposition for the restoration of the Union
which the Federal Government can enter
tain. Intaking so bold a stand-in decIar-
ing that freedom for all must be the basis
of any reconstruction of the Union-Mr.
Lincoln must feel confident that the senti-
ment Of the '9oyal" States viii sustain him.
His noble and distinct declaration is honor
able alike to himself and to the people upon
whose support he relies. s

Notes BY the Nay.
Steamboat, WESTON, Missouri,
March 18th, 1864.

EDITOR News: After two days pound
ing and humping in Kansas stage coach
1 set down to comply with my agreement
to wit to communicate to THE News any
thing Of interest that might see or hear
in my meanderings East.
There is but little to interest the jolted
traveller between the points of Emporia and
Lawrence, except, perhaps, it may be to
count the posts in the rail fences and look
on the modern improvements of the thrifty
and Industrious farmers, such as log houses,
stone fences, cows and calves, and potent
chickens.
AS we rode into Lawrence I noticed By
the posters that a. Ward, the great Hoosier
shoM man and wonderful letter writer, would
"speak piece " in town that night on the
subject of Robinson Crusoe. 1 Instantly
concluded to go and hear him deliver him
self about old Robinson, and, if possible
give your readers a synopsis of the great
piece. Well, l went, and as luck would
have it ("just my COMPOUNDED luck got
a seat full in front of the speakers stand.
Soon Artemus came in. Shall 1 describe
him? l will. Take him as a whole, he
would make matchless fgurehead for a
comic almanac. He stands about FIVE feet
ten in his boots. His eyes ale dark and
look like two small holes burned in a side
of leather. His nose is large and slightly
inclined to slant downward, which would
indicate that he is a good hand to pick
cherries, because he would hang by his
nasal organ and pick with both hands. He
supports mustache of rather large dimen-
sions, which he contrives to pull often while
he says 9" his piece" His chin is of fine
mould his voice low and smooth but not
musical. That is A. Ward, Snowman, or
ator, etc. The lecture-well, can't report
it. Nor do believe there is any other per
son that can. It was brim fall of fun, and
had no particular reference TO anything.
He mentioned his subject twice and begged
pardon for DEPRESSION. Artemus is printer,
and for that reason, if for no other, would
give some extracts of his piece did not
space forbid.

pireet and ReliabIe News from Idaho.

Direct and Reliable News from Idaho.
We are enrbled to lay before our readers
direct and reliable news from the Idaho gold
mines. Dr.. E. D. Ralph, an old and well
known citizen of this city, went to Baunock
last year with a stock of goods and has just
returned. We have bad conversation with
him, and gather the following interesting
particulars
First. as to gold, 1t IS there, and in large
quantities. The main mining IS as yet
guIch and siuice mining, although there are
two quartz mills. which are paying we'll
The gold itself Is Of a very pure quality
worth $500 per ounce. 1t is found in the
form of nuggets, as we'll az that OF dust
The Doctor showed Us q couple of beautiful
nuggets, which Mr. Shouse, of the Mechan-
les Bank, weighed In our preseuee-1he one
worth $40 and the other IS. The Doctor
tells Us that he has himself seen nuggets
worth $40, while those worth from $50 to
500 are quite common. He says that last
year every body in the mines did well. He
brings news from a couple eff old residents
of Kansas City, viz: jim Vivian and Mr..
Underwood. They beth spent & couple of
years in Colorado, without making any
thing, but are now doing well in Idaho.
Vivian is at Sinking Water Gulch, aud EN-.
Floys 20 men In running sluices. He takes
cut, on an average, 81 900 per day IN
derwood is also doing well a eolored man,
named Harrison, formerly Of this place, has
laid up over . thousand dollars, earned by
cooking for mess. LaboTers are plenty at
Sc per day. There Is plenty Of water for
running sluices. The mining is much like
that IN California in early days.
Idaho, as cur readers are aware, is TIE
name of a large Territory. The two princi-
pal mining towns are Bannock and Virgin
ia City-about sixty-fye miles apart-Ban-
mock being the most easterly, and situated
on the stream called Beaver Head. There
are from eight hundred to one thousand peo-
pie at Bannock and about five thousand in
the vicinity of Virginia City.
The mines are on the eastern slope Of the
Rocky Mountains. Stages run from Ban
mock to Salt Lake-fare sixty dollars. The
people Of Idaho have been cleaning out tht
scoundrels lately at q terrible rate. Over
twenty have been hung-among them the
sheriff and deputy sheriff Of Virginia City
One of tie fellows was named Gallager, and
formerly from this city.
The Doctor says the trip can be made
from here to Banuock, with mule train
in about seventy days-with oxen, from
ninety 10 one hundred days. Those going
should procure their tools before starting
as tools are very high there-shoVsls SI2
&c. Provisions to last six months should
be taken. He is about to return himself
Coming as these statements do from per.
fectly reliable and well known man, we arr
glad to place them before our readers

Rev. j. w. Stewart, former Pastor of
the M. E. Church, at this place. was expell-
ed from the ministry and membership OF
the church, at the late session of the Kan
sas Conference, on charges which most of
our readers are acquainted with. A re-,
markable feature developed in the history of
this case, is that the committee called to in
Vestigate it here, last Septem Der, did not
find Stewart guilty of any misdemeanor
worthy Of censure. The Kansas Confer
ence, with the same evidence that was taken
before the committee, convicted him Of
crime. for which he was not only expelled
from the ministry, but also from member
ship in the Church.

To the children of Lyon County.

You all love your soldier friends. Some
of you have fathers in the army some
brothers and I'm e,es. And we all
have many friends among the soldiers. We
love our brave soldiers we love our
country and hope we love the Bible, too,
which tells Of Jesus. the Saviour, and
points US the way Of life. What blessed
book is the Bible What should We do
with it? Do you not wish that everybody
had Bible or Testament? But there are
4 great many in Kansas, and some in this
county, who have no Bible, or Testament
even, and some time ago I heard of enc
poor man who cried bitterly, when he came
to die, because he could not find a Bible.
How sad thus to die, without the Bible A
great many Of the soldiers that are fight
ing for our county have no Bible. Now,
how would you like to send them Tesla
ments ? You know that great many Of
them are wounded, taken sick, and die.
Would you not like to send something to the
poor sick and wounded soldiers? How
sad and lonely they must feel. Let me tell
you a story. One poor fellow was dread
fully wounded ia tie terrible battle of An
tietam. He picked up Testament from a
dead soldier. He did not need it any
more" said the wounded man, ''but I did.
n my sorrow, when I had no one to speak
to me, that book spoke 10 me in tones Of
love. It told me that only Jesus could do
me good now" Children, how much good
that book did him then. A great many
Testaments are found, blood stained. upon
soldiers, open at such verses as: Come
unto ne all ye that labor "God so low
ed the world" He is able to save to the
uttermost," etc.
But 1 hope to see many of you soon and
will tell you more. Now, what we propose
to do is to form a Children's Soldiers Bible
Society. Any one under sixteen may be-
come member by paying fifteen cents.
Each name viii be recorded in book, and
each member viii receive a neatly printed
certificate Of membership. The money
will be sent to New York, with directions
to be expended for the purchase Of Tesla
ments for soldiers. Each neigbboThood viii
be visited by some of the officers Of the
Lyon County Bible Society, and both sub
jects be presented at the same time. We
shall commence just as soon as the printing
can be done, which viii be in two or three
weeks.
I hOpe each little boy and girl will have
one of these certificates to show when they
have grown up, that they nave done some
thing for the soldier. Whenever you hear
Of notice of Bible meeting. be sure that
you all attend G. c. MORSE,
Secretary Lyon Co. Bible Society.
