reliable report of the result of the informal de-

the Federal armies: while am merely gov

MANHATTAN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

In the February number Of the Kansas Far.
'sfr we have the report of speech of the Pres.
ident of the College before the State Agricul.
tural Society. The following is an cxtact:
'.Thc State Az. Society has shown its appre.
citation Of the Importance Of growing trees in
Kansas Would it not be we'll worthy the at
tenton of the Society to make the grounds Of
tho College u field for experiments in tree
growing? If the action of the Society shall
hasten the time when the face Of the State
shall be one-third covered with trees, it will
have conferred a boon of untold value"
1t is rather curious that our Agricultural
College, which has been richly endowed by the
State, should ask voluntary agricultural as.
sociation 10 plant trees on its grounds. Dc
not the Professors in our agricultural College
know how to plant trees? or is spade too
Unclassical for their classic hands to handle
in this vicinity looked into this matter. Is it
fact that Agriculture is not taught at all in
this Agricultural College? From the very
name Of the College, and from what we know
Of the designs Of the State in the liberal grant
Of lands, we had supposed that the College was
and science were not to be excluded but they
were to be regarded rather as landmarks to
agriculture, than substitutes for it, As a mere
literary institution, it seems to us, it is not at
present needed. Private schools are now ..few
and far between Literary colleges farther
east, in the midst of denser population, are
already numerous enough for all practical pur-
poses. and they furnish better advantages to
the student than Manhattan can hope to do for
many years to come
But the Agricultural College. if true to her
main object, has noble and exceedingly use
full field Of enterprise. Let her confine herself
almost exclusively to agriculture, and those
sciences intimately connected with it. No in
terest is more important to the community at
large than agriculture. 1t should be under
stDod both scientifically and practically Kan
sas has climate and soil somewhat peculiar.
Many things are yet to be learned by the most
intelligent farmers We need some centre of
operations. Why should not this centre be the
Agricultural College? zsa 81 q
Intelligent men know that the great object
of al study is the discipline Of the mind; and
this discipline can be as well secured by the
scientific study Of agriculture as by any other
means. For illustration, let the Professor Of

Junction City, Kansas,
SATURDAY. MARCH 12, 1864.
HOW IT TAKES.

From all quarters we hear dissatisfaction ex-
pressed at the recent unwarranted action Of the
Legislature in electing United States Senator
But one man from the country has been found to
openly endorse it, and his general physiognomy
indicated that he was ignorant of his rights as
freeman, and unable to appreciate them. The
privately expressed opinions that we have heard,
and they are many and take in large scope Of
country, lead US to believe that Western Kansas
is unit against the conspiracy. Wea told by
n gentleman from Saline that that county was
almost unanimously for Carney. but that Jones
faithfully represented his constituents. and that
on this pretended election they would endorse
his action almost to unit. A gentleman from
Riley, of extensive acquaintance and information
informs us that he had met but one person out
side of Mead's Manhattan bummers. who ap-
proves of the fiaud. In Davis county we don't
suppose there are ten men who speaks in favor of
it. In community SO intelligent as Kansas
the same sentiment pervades throughout, al
though in localities it is more apparent than
in others because of the absence of strikers. The
only opinion expressed West of Manhattan is
opposed to the iniquity. Indeed, from Topeka
West. this sentiment is unbroken, with the ex-
ception of the ripple caused at Manhattan by
Mead and the twenty or twenty five things that
he controls.
And it becomes the people Of Kansas to adhere
to their present determination to rebuke this
moDstrous usurpation of their powers. If this
abrogaton of their right of free choice of rulers
10 submitted to by them, the unparalleled pre-
sumption which prompted and carried it through
will not be long in placing the iron heel Of
despotism irrevOcably upon you. Think Of it
hiep elected three years before vacancy exists
choosing Senator for you, when that Senator is
not wanted until year after they officially cease
to exist. They have just the same moral right
to act in the premises as has band Of Arkansas
bushwhackers. If the election had been conduct
ed fairly and honorably, the principle remains
the same; and if Jim. Lane be the Devil, it is
equally dangerous to sacrifice that principle in
order to get rid of him.
The presumption and bribery which prompts
men to exercise power which the people even
have no moral right to delegate for year hence,
If not rebuked, will be as q license to the un
scrupulous demagogue, and the result will be far
more disastrous TO constitutional liberty, and
cover the land with far more terrors, than has
yet characterized the Shareholders plot against
the Federal Government. In fact, the people by
their own constitutional enactments have estab-
lished the time when vacancies take place, and
for them, much less their representatives, to at
tempt to fill that vacancy prior to that time is so
incongruous, we think. rs to require no written
law. clique. by chance. may get in power,
and If this precedent is allowed to stand, they
may retain power for an indefinite time

y To estimate our loss is indeed an un-
pleasant task, out, nevertheless, one which
must be performed in giving the record of
the days events. In killed, wounded and
missing I give the number at one thousand
two hundred All our killed and the Sc.
verely wounded, tha. is, those who were
unable to- walk from the field unassisted,
fell into the hands Of the enemy. Last
night, at II o'clock, about FIVE hundred Of
the wounded had been conveyed TO Jack
sonyillc. aY re,s.-
We also left on the field FIVE guns. and
not small number of small arms. The
road from BARRIERS to Baldwin was strewn
with guns, knapsacks and blankets,
At station on the railroad between
Barber's and Baldwin We burnt building
containing 1000 barrels of turpentine.-
This we might have got away several days
previous had transportation been accessible.
We also burnt a. trestlel bridge on the
railroad not Far from ,Barber's. At Bald.
win We burnt large, supply Of commissary
stores, knapsacks aud officers baggage.
The wagons used to transport these things
to the army werssfilled on the retreat with
the wounded.

large enough for an apple tree. Then let him
give the reason why he made it 80 large, and
why he did not crowd it down into little
hole like post. Let him also: show (if he
can9 why one side of the tree rather than the
other should be placed to the south. Let him
also explain the use Of the leaves in connection
with the atmosphere, and show how the sap
circulates, and thus, if the boys are not sap
heads, they will obtain more useful informa-
tion than they probably would by any other
means in the same length of time.
Again, let the Professor Of Stoneology 60 the
most convenient quarry and with his crowbar
pry out large stones, at the same time deliver
ing a lecture on the Laws Of Mechanics es-
pecially of the lever. By some such course
the most important truths for farmer to know
may be taught.
Will the professors and guardians of Man
haitian Agricultural College allow few prac-
teal suggestions. If stone can be had at q
reasonable distance, let the professors and
students build stone wall around their prem
ises. Let them cultivate the Usage orange
both for the purpose Of ascertaining its nature
for fence and for profit. For the same reason
let them try the white willow, or anything else
that bids fair to be useful for fences Let
them also have a large nursery both for exper-
iment and profit. Let the boys learn how to
cultivate fruit Let an invitation be extended
to farmers, to meet once in three months, to
give in their experience about the best methods
of farming.
But enough for the present; word to the
wise is sufficient
