AS We feared the rebels have escaped
from their daring raid into MARYLAND
and Pennsylvania with nearly all their
plunder. BY wha, mismanagement OF
oversight the great Shenandoah Valley
gap was left open for the rebels to walk
10 We do not know; but there was stupid
folly somewhere in reference 10 the
matter. Grant was exeriiDg himself to
cut of the railroad communications ol
Richmond. which go out into rebeldom,
and at the same time this grand high
way was left open to the rebels to marcl,
down unin.erruptedly into our OWE ter
ritory and dispcil it of its wealth. The
thousands of cattle. horses, hogs and
sheep run off BY the rebels will be a
fortune Of incalculable value TO the
army under Lee.
Talk Of starving the rebels out with
this kind Of management They will
die of old age first. We do not know
who is to blame. as we have said but
such stupendous folly is poor auguer
Of success in the speedy conquest BY
our arms of the rebel capital or the de-
feat Of their army. Stupidity is the
word to express the management-or
mismanagement-of this affair.
Whether politics has absorbed the
minds of men in authority. or some
great speculation to swindle tho govern
ment is on foot somewhere, or what
other cause may have been at work.
Of all these things We are unadvised; bu,
somebody ought TO know something;
and wherever the fault lies. there let the
blame fall and the dismissal follow.
Certainly the militia Of Maryland and
Pennsylvania are in poor plight or Of
little force. They ought 10 be in such
state Of organisation that days no.
tice would bring them into the field.
We trust this dearly bought expert
enee will cause the great raiding gap
10 be- closed and sealed up. Let US
have no repetition Of this folly.

We have taken some pains to ascer-
tain',he real condition of the crops in
our Stale. and give The following items
on The subject:
The. Troy Investigator says OF whea':
Farmers speak very encouragingly,
and say The prospect for good yield
was never BETTER"
The Marysville Enterprise says
'The wheat and corn crops were never
SO promising.
The Border Sentinel speaks favorably
of crops in Linn county. and thinks
that the mania fear of drouth should
be banished.
The Hampden Expositor only regrets
that more land is not in cultivation, the
rains having brought out the growing
crops so well.
The Nemaha Courier says: 'The
agricultural prospects through this
county are good. We never saw at this
season of the year finer corn and spring
wheat, Than is now growing in this re-
gion.
The Atchiscn Press gives the follow
iny statement Of Mr.. S. S. Upton. fol
whose csndor, fine powers of observa'
ton, judgement and irulhfnlfness the
editor youches:
Mr.. Tipton says this is the best grain
growing season We have ever had in
Kansas. The product of Wheat is much
larger than has been generally suppos-
ed. He has recently been in Jefferson,
Douglas, Miami. johnson. Allen. Bour-
bon, Linn, Anderson, Usage. Coffee,
Woodson, Leavenworth and Atchison
Counties, and the two latter have the
poorest crops of any. Oats will in ma
nv counties average fifty bushels TO the
acre. In some counties winter Wheat
will average thirty bushels to the acre;
ia Bou, bon he thinks thirty FIVE. AL.
though the growth Of the straw is gen.
orally thin, the heads are surprisingly
large. aud we'll filed.
The Council Grove Press, Junction
City Union. Manhattan Independent.
Neosho Valley Register aud Emporia
News speak in about the same terms oI
the crops as the papers We have quoted,
and we think it safe, therefore. to say
that the prospect for good crops in Kan
sas is very 6attering. The growing
corn has come out wonderfully in the
past two weeks. and gives promise Of a
very large yield.
In this county fall wheat is most ex
cellent in quality. but not so much
sown as usual. Corn. generally. is splen-
did. Oats short in straw but well Gil.
ed. Potatoes are slow in coming on.-
Early ones have not yielded we'll, but
The late ones are promising. Vine truck
about an average. except cucumbers,
which have very generally failed. On
sne "uUie prospects IN our county are
flauering.
We believe the foregoing to be a
faithful exhibit of the condition of agri
cultural affairs in our State.

AN INVITED GUEST.
Letter from Pike Township.
PIKE IOWNSHTP. .JAN. 5th

PIKE TOWNSHIP, JAN. 9TH, 1864
Mr. Row II see a paragraph in the
Copperhead organ of the 30th December,
relative to the election held in Lawrence
township, for local offices, in which the as
tute editors Of that organ are disposed to re-
joice over the result, and boastingly intimate
that the Copperheads elected their whole
ticket from that class Of their party who are
STEPPED in profound ignorance Truly,
a very humiliating admission for the editors
of that paper to make.
But. the election in this Pike township,
resulted very differently. We elected a full
ticket, Poor overseers not excepted of
reading, thinking, independent and loyal men,
notwithstanding the Copperhead leaders OF
the township met several days previous to
the election and placed ia nomination a full
ticket of their own kiRd-not willing even
to let the Union party have one of the In
spectors of elections They were going to
carry every candidate upen their ticket, as
they had done at the last spring election,
when every man elected was a copperhead
of the rankest sort. Well, they marshalled
their forces upon the field on the morning
of the 25th December, under their faithful
and efficient leaders, and flushed with for
mer victories, determined to carry every
thing by storm-not doubling the result in
township where they always had the as
tendency But, to their horror and dismay,
the Union forces met them upon the battle
ground, in solid column, and contended, las
our Union soldiers have done on all occasions
and on every hard fought battle field, for ev-
cry inch of ground, and the result was that
the Union party elected every candidate up
on the ticket
When the result was announced, yeu can
well imagine the CONSERVATION and writhing

bursted in their midst, their dismay could
