There I was sworn 10 tell If knew anything

Then they asked me If Van Bebber did not

Cook is horse. .thieff'' I said, ~ don't know
that he is q horse thief" After Z. Van Bus
kirk got through with questioning me, the SOL
dien marched me to their quarters. About
10 O'Clock, p. n, seven or eight soldiers,
among them Elijah Nephlin, Sergeant of
Hunters Company. marched me down into a
hollow, with one oiAer man. whom the soldiers
said was hsrse.thief. They said to the 9TH
er one: 1--WE know you are horss-thief. for
We caught you with Mr.. Coys horses" then
saying to him: "Now We give you hftesn min
utes to make your peace with your God, and
to confess how many horses you stole" he
said he had never stolen one. They dispsted
his word, calling him liar. etc. Then they
said, Now We give You two minutes more 70

Our Candidate for Congress.

1t has been suthoritatively announced
that A. G. Wilder will not be . csndi-
date for reelection to Congress. We
had heard nations, some time eince,
that such would be the case. We believe
Mr.. Wilder has endesvored to do the
best be could for the welfare Of Kansas,
and. as far as we have heard, has given
pretty general satisfaction. To be sure,
there has been complaint that be yielded
too much to the will Of Lane; bot that 10
more Of personal question than, other
wise. Mr.. Wilder still has many friends
who cannot tolerate Gen. Lane; and, ,,ua-
less be had entered into partisan 6gbt
for Lane. placing that individuals claims
over and above everything else. these
persons would have remained true to him.
Mr.. Wilder's withdrawal leaves the
Geld entirely to new sspirants, and The
friends of each will at once set to worl
with zeal in behalf of their favorites. A.
q general thing. qualification will b.
placed in the background, and strength
sought in combinations with various in.
dividuals for the different State Offices
Among the aspirants. Parrott, Anthsuy
and Lawrence are prominent, They oil
have Objectionable points: Conway, ",
presume, win not attempt to emerge from
the shade. But he who can secure th.
patronage and support Of Gen. Lane. vii
consider himself as having the insid'
track, and 60 to work not upon his owl
merits. but upon Lanes real or supposed
popularity. '.- s r,a
We insist upon the claims Of Northern
Kansas upon the Office Of Congressm ar
for the next term. Other sections of sh'
State have had Senators. Congressmen
and Governors, while Northern Kansal
has had neither; nor has she had any
State officer that has had power to &C
complish anything for her. She is, then
entitled to the next Congressman. Car
the proper man be found? We answer
emphatically. yes. and Doniphan County
can produce him. That man is General
ALBERT L. LEE, now Chief of Cavalry il
Gen. Banks Army. and doing gallant scr
vice for his country. Gen. Lee possesse,
all the qualifications for an efficient Con
gresham. he possesses q high order o
talent, gentlemsnly and engaging manners
and is universally liked wherever known
His gallant and efficient services in th,
field. where he almost lost his life, in 6ght.
ing the battles of the Union, render him
immensely popular with the Kansas col.
diers, who form a very large portion o.
our voting population. Another strong
point is, that be is not mixed up in the
personal quarrels of Kansas politicians
Having been in the army almost ever since
the admission of Kansas, he has escaped
our bitterest personal squabbles. and car
stand aloof from, all factions. objection.
