Some six months ago the papers tina.

in this Stale were bitter in their denuu.
Citations Of Scho6eld, and declared it
impossible for him to be confirmed as
Major General. Recently he was con-
firmed almost un ,nimously BY the Sem
ate. and these papers never utter a word
Of eensure. Why this change?
Gen. Scho6cld is the same man they
opposed. and denounced Gov. Carney
for taking counsel with him for The de.
tense Of our State. yet now not q whis-
per Of disapprobation comes from their
lips or press. A few Federal Offices.
and a change of front to secure Federal
patronage. are the only visible reasons
for this shameless course. Either these
men we're dishonest last year in their
denunciations. or they are dishouest
now in their silent acquiescence. And
yet these are the men who aim to lead
Kansas. and expect the honest people
Of the Stale 10 follow them in oil their
windiogs and twis,ings-denunciaiion
and praises. Their opinions and prin-
einlea are alike unstable and vorthloe.
and no men of reflection and intelli.
geuce can trust them!

Since our last weeks report, Grant
has again out-generaled Lee. and BY a
successful flank movement, compelled
the rebels 10 abandon their strong forti.
fed camp on the South Anna and retreat
towards Richmond. Our forces. at
latest advices. were within seven miles
of the rebel capital, where great con-
sterna,ion is represented as existing
one party favoring the burning of the
city, the other its surrender. This.
however, is mere report, and may have
no substantial foundation.
This welcome news is very encourag-
ing. bat while We rejoice at the good
fortune Of our arms, We should remem-

gloriously with his face 10 the foe. or a
widow whose husband lies buried 50
deeply among the masses Of slain heroes,
that she viii never learn where to seek
for his grave?
When the wife Of great prince.
whose husband was absent at the siege
of Troy. was urged by her friends to
put on her royal robes and be cheerful.
she answered: my husband is under
the walls of Troy: shall adorn my hair
while he wears helmet? Shall l dress
in new robes while he carries arms? No!
my raiment shall be like his hard labors.
and in sadness will pass the time Of
this mournful wal"
1iis a painful truth, for which We shall
yet learn to blush. that the importations
of the most expensive goods manufac-
tured in Europe have been far greater
during the war than at any time in the
history of our country. The Imports
tions last week at the New York Custom
House alone amounted to $5, ,O00, 900.
and all tha. week-whieh will yet end
its ignoble record in history-the streets
Of Washington were blocked up with
weary soldiers. marching through the
mud, rain, or dust, down to the Army
of the Potomac, which now lies with
bated courage waiting for the carnival
Of death, which is almost fiinging its
crimson shadow over Us,
For the good Of our country and the
honor Of our sex. let US redeem ourselves
from this reprosch Of wanton extrava-
gance. Let us prove hy cheerful re.
trencbment. that the women OF the
country are not so welded TO luxurious
self indulgence that they can not fill q
glorious page in the history Of this war.
and yet retain all that is retiring and
beautiful ia womanhood. In all hu-
name works they have proved them
selves charitable, kind, and muni6cent.
Let these comprehend that self-abnega-
,ion will accomplish more than works
of charity, and they vii! not be less
earnest 10 sacrifice than they have been
to act.
l, must not be said Of us .hat we have
been willing to give up our husbands.
sons. and brothers, to 6gLt or die for the
Union: and yet refuse TO renounce our
laces, silks. .velvets. and diamonds. That
thought would cover Us with shame be-
fore the nations Of the earth. No: our
women Of the Union only lack knowl-
edge of the means by which they can
prove themselves true helpmates Of The
heroes who are fighting our battles.
Impress it upon them that in discour-
aging excessive importations and adopt
ing goods manufactured at home they
keep cold in the country. reduce the
rates of exchange, and establish conf
dence in the Government. and they will
prove how far patriotism can rise above
feminine vanity in the hearts Of Amer
ican women"

The Difference.

Mcclellan boosted Of his ''great flank
movement in the face of an enemy"
and considered it grand achievement
to change his base successfully with a
loss OF 95 miles in distance. We were
not sufficiently "scienced" in military
matters to ''see it," but felt whether a
great fete or little one, it was reverse
to our arms.
Grant has made three successful
movements Of the mos, daring kind in as
many weeks, aud gained ground all the
tine. Instead Of going back 25 miles
each time. he had gone forward some
40 odd miles. and now is in sight Of she
steeples of The rebel capital. That's the
difference in ''Aank movements"
