NEWS BY LAST NIGHTS MAIL.

The news last light was meager. A dis
patch from headquarters, dated June 9TH,
says:
The rebels attacked the Cd corps and a
portion Of the 9th. last evening, but were
handsomely repulsed after desperate strug-
gle. They advanced to the attack several
times and each time their lines were cut to
pieces. Their losses must have been fear
full, for our men shot them down at short
range while the batteries moved them down
in masses. Our loss was very light. A
shell exploded among the members of Han
cocks staff, one of whom lost a leg. Trains
are guarded all the way from White House
to the front, principally by colored troops.
Our men are busily engaged in digging to-
wards the works of the enemy. An attack
was made last night on one of our working
parties.
The N. Y. Times special says of tho
rebel attack on Sunday night:
The rebels made an assault just after
dark, this evening, in front of Smith 8
brigade, of the Cd corps. The atmosphere
was dense mist, under cover Of which the
enemy advanced in a strong line of battle,
and succeeded in reaching a point within
pistol range of our works before they were
discovered by the advance pickets. No
sooner did the outposts give the alarm than
one sheet of fire belched forth from our
ranks on the front and both fanks of the
enemy. In about half an hour the enemy
fell back, leaving the ground covered with
dead and wounded. Our loss was small.
Grant was reinforced on the 9th. The
reinforcements outnumber our losses, and
more are on the way.
A guerrilla force, supposed to be under
command of Morgan, have entered Eastern
Kentucky, and are committing depredations.
Baltimore Convention assembled on the
18th. Ex-Governor Denison, of Ohio, pre-
sided.
Grant says the capture of Richmond is
only question of time. He is confident
of his ability to take it.

BanpOcks

Ben Holiday is now running lines OF
coaches in connection with the Overland,
from Salt Lake City to Bannock City and
Virginia, at the Sinking Water mines, and
to Lewiston and Idaho City, West Idaho.
The Coaches run due north to old Fort
Hall, on the Snake river, diverging thence
to the points above named. The distance
from Salt Lake to the western mines is 478
miles, and to Virginia City, via Bannock
City, 418 miles.
Judge Parks, the distinguished Associate
Justice of the new territory, passed through
Atchison on his way to Illinois, few days
ago, and favored US with two Idaho papers
of recent dates. They indicate great bust
ness activity in those remote regions, es-
pecially in the way of whisky, billiards and
ten pin alleys.-AtcAisop Champion.

THE NEosHo VALLEY RAILROAD

By reference to the proceedings else
where it will be seen that an Association has
been formed with view to the early con-
struction of the Neosho Valley Railroad.
This is the result of series Of meetings
which have been held in the Valley this
spring. the proceedings of which have aP-
peared in this paper, and with which our
people are acquainted. The people directly
concerned feel deep interest in this enter
prise. Of course this Association is not
legal organization-that is, it is not chartered
and acting under the authority of law. The
Neosho Valley road is now branch Of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road, and
the grant of lands is of course in the hands
of that company. The people in the Val
ley think that the A. T. & S. F. Com
pany would make this road a secondary
matter, and one object Of this Association is
to obtain control Of the lands and place the
road in the hands of the people of the Val
ley, who will certainly work harder for its
interests than foreign company would.
Another object Of this Association is to
labor to separate the Neosho Valley road
and the Fort Gibson read from ali others,
and make it a branch of the Union Pacific
road. An amendment has already passed
the Senate extending the road from here TO
Fort Riley, to form 3 junction with the I'm
ion Pacific. Take your map and follow
this line Of road from Fort Riley down the
Neosho, through Council Grove, Emporia
and Humboldt to Fort Gibson, and from
thence to Galveston Bay, and see if it is not
of equal importance to any of the branches
of that grand thoroughfare TO the Pacific
This Association is to labor to putsit on an
equal footing with the other branches, both
in regard to the donation of land and Uni
ted States bonds. This road traverses, af-
ter leaving Kansas, near the dividing line
between the rich Indian country and Ar
kansas, and Texas and Louisiana. Let
peace reign and this vast region of country
will unite, rise up and demand this road.
We shall have more to say On this route
hereafter.

THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The Lyon County Agricultural Society is
again in working order. The Board is COM
posed of our best farmers. We are glad TO
see this. Several of our leading men, who
have never heretofore been connected with
the Society, only as private members, were
put upon the Board. They should have
been there before. The Society is entirely
in the hands of farmers and stock raisers
now. We don't see a politician on the
Board. We hope that these men will con-
slider that they owe it to the interests they
represent-to the best interests Of the coun-
ty-to themselves and the people-to keep
the Society in live and healthy condition,
and have a good Fair this fall. And we
would just throw out one hint on the mat
ter, and that is If they conclude to have a
Fair, that they don't put it off until time
for cold and snowy weather.
We should have Fair by all means.
We believe with the proper effort money
enough could be raised by memberships,
subscriptions, admission fees and the sale
of lumber and other articles, after the Fair,
10 enclose the ground with a tight board
fence. A fine site could be had near So
denis mill, where there are three or four
good wells close at hand, and where the
Cottonwood would afford plenty of good wa
ter for stock. Last year people came from
distance of thirty or forty miles to attend
our Fair. II was q fzzle-completely so.
For three years we have advertised Fairs
and then let them go By default. We mis-
take the metal of the present Board if they
let it fail this year. There is to be meet
ing of the Board of Directors on next Sat
urday, the 18th inst. Every member should
be present. The business should not be left
to two or three as has always been the case
heretofore. They should make it some
body's business to obtain members, and al
SO to solicit subscriptions for fencing the
ground with tight, high, board fence. and
for the building of stalls, and defraying the
other expenses of the Fair After the Fair
is over, all the lumber and fixtures can be
sold at auction, and in that way it seems to
US il can be made success.
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1864-06-11

A fellow whose name we do not now re-
member, lectured on temperance at Burling-
ton, few evenings ago. The Register says
he pitched into editors and printers strongly.
We are sorry to say that the newspaper fra
ternity, as a general thing, are too much
given to intemperance, but so far as our OBJ.
servation extends they are not a very great
deal more SO, as class, than professional
temperance lecturers. We have not unfre.
Quently known, in our lives, temperance lee
turers to be guilty of carrying bottles will
them. We hope the gentleman above allu
led to, who saw fit to pour out so mucl
sbuse upon newspaper men, is not one o
his kind.
