John sons Family Atlas,

War or no war, our American thinkers
will 20 on making books and dissemipa-
ting knowledge. This is right, because on
the intelligence of the whole people de-
ponds the permanency of our Republican
institutions.
A few months ago our place was visited
by an Agent selling Mitchell's Atlas,
which is work of some merit, it is true,
though it gives only counties and mere
prominent features. Those who purchased
that work will at once regret the invest
ment, when they have examined Johnsor's
Family Atlas
1t covers the whole subject of local
geography, ancient as we'll as modern, so
complete that the most critical reader will
always be able to find on the maps aoAqt-
eUer he may want. Even our Townships
are all laid down, with the villages of each
Township, the Railroads, and common
roads even. And on this Township plan
the lchole loorld is presented.
Then it contains peculiar provision, by
which, for very few cents expense each
year OF two, the work may continually be
kept up with the times This simple but
important arrangement more than doubles
the value OF the book.
MitcheIl's has no such provision, and in
few years will be entirely behind the
times. Moreover, Mitchell's work contains
nothing cut a list Of maps simpIy.-and
county maps at that,-whie JOhnSOn's
contains an ocean of the must important
and practical information, ON Physical
Geography, and 10 the form ot descriptive,
historical and statistical views, &C., &c +,
with Ready Refer enee," the most com~
plete thing we have ever seen.
As family atlas, perhaps it has no
| equal in the world 1t is an American
work, we are proud to say, and is pub
hshed by johnson & Ward, New York

ANNoYING.-1t is pleasant to have
man call into a printing Office who is in
arrears halfa dozen or more years, bu.
alter looking up his account it is unuIeas-
ant to have him dispute his bin and say
that ne does not owe for so long a time
We have experienced much annoyance in
this way, when we knew our accounts
were correct. People are apt to lose
note of time, as it passes, and hence 50
many of them think they owe for less than
half the time for which they have net
paid for the paper. Il iss bad enough for
men to let their newspaper accounts run
so long, without trying to repudiate
them.

1t is believed by not few people that
Louisiana is restored to the Union. She
elected a Governor, and is now going
on to amend her constitution and abolish
slavery. OF course fair minority of the
State would naturally be supposed to be
Loyal, in view of the attempt to effect such
momentous changes.
The vast amount of hpmbug which has
attended tho management Of affairs in that
State may be inferred from the following,
taken from the New York Tribune.

seen the company out on drill several times
since they have been here, and we must
say that they make creditable appearance.
This is easily accounted for by their having

We predict that Capt. Bancroft will be
an Efficient and popular officer with his men.

session of Congress, ia which be concurred,
and states briefly the reason for giving them

Topeka Convention:
Having stated the principal acts upon
which Congress Is to stand or fall, ! should
be wanting in frankness and sincerity did
I not declare my intentions and wishes in
regard to . reelection. I have not been
and am not now . candidate, but many
warm aud valued political friends desire
that I should be. II, therefore, the Con.
venti6n which will meet At Topeka on the
eighth of September should see ct to tender

sas and the Platte, but will be 200 miles
nearer to Denver than any base on the
Missouri river. A direct and excellent
wagon road can be made either directly up
the Smoky Hill, or along the Solomon to
the mouth of Salt Creek, and thence west
up that creek, touching the hcadwaters of
the Saline and Solomon, and thence by the
way of the Pine Ridge to the head Of
Cherry Greek and into Denver.
And from the base at Fort Riley can the
commerce on the roads leading into New
Mexico be better protected than from any
other point. We trust the Government
will not only admit the importance of these
facts, but will keep their base of supplies
and men as near the points of necessity as
circumstances will admit. If so, General
Blunt will then be able to act his part we'll,
whether to aid Colorado, to repel Indian
hostilities in Western and Southwestern
Kansas, or to aid the General Government
to marshal force to crush the rebellion in
the Southwest.

were not honored with an introduction to
him (hope you do not feel slighted General)
vet We must acknowledge that We we're
asreeably disappointed. Any one who has
from time to time read the contemplate
fines and drives made from certain quar-
ters at the military reputation, as we'll as
private character oftGen. Blunt, could not
help but contrast the straight forwardness,
the open, frank and manly appearance Of
General Blunt, with that Of some OF his
trsducers we wot of.
Gen. Blunt has won reputation that ne
may we'll be proud Of, and this District Is
fortunate in having such commander. II
the General will call on the willing citizen
soldiery of Western Kansas, he can easily
organize body Of troops to clean out the
redskin devils that have been numbering
and robbing on our border. There is not a
county in Southwestern Kansas that would
not send from twenty-five to one hundred
willing volunteers, for thirty or sixty
days expedition under so able leader as
General Blunt.

"LANE ON THK BRAIN

The last Topeka Tribune has " Lane on the
Brain" most decidedly. 1t is Stark-mad in rela-
ton to the "Grim Chieftain." It's columns are
constantly full ofsbuse and denunciation. The
most absurd and incomprehensible statements are
made as to his power. Nothing can be done in
Kansas, according to the Tribune, but what
"Lane" is at the bottom, middle and top thereof
All the mischief done in the State is referred to
him. No honest farmer in the remotest township
of the State loses q wind broken mare but what,
If the Tribune learns of it, it Immediately attrib
utes the same to "Jim Lane" If drought
afiicts any district, "Jim Lane" or some Of his
"pimps" have caused the same. If bush.
whaeker threatens our Eastern border, Jim
Lane'' is in collusion with him. We fully ex-
peet to hear that he has been seen in complete
war paint, with scalp lock and tomahawk, dane
ing war dance with the savages who threaten
our frontier, and melting them to raid, in order
that Carney may be prevented from obtaining
another Fort Larned contract, or from supplying
the trading posts on the prairie. According to
the Tribune theory "Jim Lane rides ON the
Wii;rlwind, drives the storm, speaks in the thun-
der placees in the lightning, controls the pesti-
lenee. colludes with the bushwhaeker, and is
grand saehem of the savages.
The lat Tribune mentions "Jim Lane about
forty times in its columns. Oh - bosh Does
the General pay you. Stark. to abuse himf 1t
certainly is the best method Of keeping him pop
ular. Neither he nor "sny other man +" could
desire better way to be kept before the people.
