Military Matters.

Rosecrans has been relieved of com.
mand in the Department, Of Missouri.
and is succeeded BY Gen. Dodge Of
Iowa. Ii strikes US that Iowa generals
are getting thick OH, this way. Rose
Grams, it is said. is to have an important
command elsewhere.
Steele has been removed from COM
mand. in Arkansas. Good. Now let
Thayer follow at Fort Smith.
Curtis has issued circular order
concerning the huge thieving operations
in the Indian country-says he has no
authority over it. and leaves the matter
in the hands Of Tie thieves and plunder-
ers. Is there nO remedy We have
repeatedly called attention TO this sub
ject. Ii is one Of magnitude and fear
full corruption. II the Sectetsry of the
Interier is responsible. then the Presi-
dent should dismiss the present incum-
bent and gil bis place with man OF
integrity and ability, who can and will
remedy the evil.
Grant has called Pope 10 his army
i, is reported for the purpose Of giving
him position Of responsibility. Pope
is one Of our best officers. aa,i was sac.
rifced by Mcclellan.
Thus, one by one, Grant IS bringing
up ihe men pu, down by the Mc Giellan-
Halleck reign, and putting down those
they advanced. Look a, Sherman, INC
man who was once pronounced insane
by The old rogime, because lie favored
the raising and equlpping OF an army
commensurate with the rebellion--now
the admiration Of the nation.
Grant knows his work and the m.
he needs TO do it, and thank Heaven he
has the disposition TO reward iner, aud
use ability. and not TO pu. up poliiicsi
friends and put down political enemies.
May the good work of reform go on.
SchOfeld, who was SO y;llified wni.e
in Missouri. has proved himself an Off.
Ger Of rare ability. and by mastery
movements has just foiled Hood and
gained q splendid success at Franklin.
Tenn. where his small and weary army
was out-numbered two 10 one, We
have come 10 the conclusion tha, il
Grant and The President approve a ges-
eral. it is best to risk their judgment,
and not raise cabal to weaken their
appointees.

ble But looking calmly and dispas-
sioas,eiy over the field, We cannot but
see and feel that our only hope Of secur-
ing the great city Of this region, is to
unite upon Leavenworth,as State: give
to it our moral ,and rs far as practicable.
our pecuniary aid, and let the word go
our that Leavenworth is the city OF
Kansas. This can be done withou. in
The leas. injuring other points. Trade
begets trade, and heavy business At
Leavenworth will insure business al
through the State; and other ,owns and
cities will share in the general pros
perity.
As already remarked. the only ques
! tion for US to settle is TO determins
whether By wise policy We shall secure
this city for Kansas. or BY our folly and
rivalry among ourselves, let Missouri
take the prize.
But wha. can we do? Much. B,
united action. in our legislature, by ou
delegation to Congress. by the common
voice of the people, We can compel th'
construction of the Pacific Railroad t.
Leavenworth. The government bust
ness al the Fort demands this. Thi
is one point. By proper efforts the Ras
river can be bridged at such points a
! is desirable-if no! by State appropria
tons. BY liberal individual enterprise
simulated BY proper encouraging les
is!s,ion. The same may be said c
leading rosds-the thorough fares Q
trade and travel.
In these matters Leavenworth sloa
take the lead,as she is to reap the difec
benefit and the Stale at large only = q

unfounded aud suicidal prejudice whic
exists in the State against Leavenwortl
should be forever buried Why shoul
a man say to his right hand, Il wi
chop you off or abuse you because yO
are not my left hand ?" And why sho'
our people say to the righ. hand OF b,

recommend, therefore, that the e5,h

religiously, that they are promptly and
properly applied.
