REBEL RAID ON DARDANELLE-THE In.
HABITANTs MAssACRED-CAPTURE OF A
STEAMER.-From a private dispatch, re-
ceived last evening. we learn on the 10Th
inst. Joe Shelby's cavalry surprised Oar
danelle, on the Arkansas river, and massa-
cred the citizens aud troops located there
They perpetrated the most inhuman barbar-
tiles.
A large number of the people jumped into
the river and were shot in the stream, while
attempting to swim to the opposite shore.
Dardaneille is at the head of low water
navigation, about eighty miles above Little
Rock, and has been made a commissary de-
pot, but lately, owing to the high water in
the Arkansas river, giving facilities for trans
portation 10 Fort Smith, there Was fortu.
nately but small supply of cOmmissary
stores at Dardanelle.
The raiders also captured at that point
the steamer Chippewa, loaded with com
missary stores. 1t is feared, also, that DR.
Law, we'll known in this city and in III
inois. was among the victims, as it is known
that he was stopping at Dardanelle at tht
time of the rebel incursion.

WHEAT IN THE NoRTHwEsT.-Senator Ba-
ker, who arrived in this city Friday, informs
US that fall wheat looks well in Riley, Poto-
watom;e and Jefferson counties. A large a
mount of spring wheat has been put in, and
it looks remarkably well. There has been
considerable rain, which has had tendency
to prevent farmers from work. but it has
been very favorable for planting fruit trees
A large number were set out this spring
The settlers have made more substantial i'm
provements The past six months than any
previous year. The high price of produce
has largely benefited the farming corhmuni-

SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF
KANSAS CoTToN BURNED AT ST. JosEPH.-
The St. Joseph Herald says AS the Platte
county passenger train was nearing the de-
pot at St. Joseph on Wednesday morning, a
car attached to the engine and loaded with
cotton, accidentally caught FIRE and was
partly consumed, when the engineer uu-
coupled and switched off the car. Mr..
Huxley and other gentlemen being near,
tried to save portion, but only succeeded
in saving one hundred pounds in dam
aged state. The cotton was raised in Kan
sas. and was bought by parties in Atchison,
at 80 cents per pound few days ago
The whole car load vas valued at 81, 900.

strength oil Grants and Lee,s Armies.


When the battle of the 9Th of May was
fought. Grant estimated Lees strength to
be 1000. His own army, including
Burnsids's corps, and not counting the cav
airy under Sheridan, has been variously es-
timated at from $4,000 to l50. o0Q- We
believe the former number nearer the truth.
The estimated losses by Lee are, in killed
and wounded, $4,000; prisoners in our
hands, 12. 900; total, 81. O0O-leaving Lees
present effective force, 90. 900 men. Grants
estimated losses are. in killed and wounded.
80. 900; prisoners in rebel hands. 5000 !:
total, 50, OOO-leaving Gen. Grants fight
ing force, after the battle of the 18th, &c.
600. Difference in Grants favor on Fri
day last-2e. 600. But on that day and
Saturday Grant was reinforced BY suffi-
cient number of troops to make his army
equal in strength to what it was when it
crossed the Rapidan. or say 125, 900. How
many reinforcements Lee has In the mean
time received, if any at all, is matter Of
uncertainty Conservative.

DIED.

From the Burlington Regis
At Burlington, Coffey county, Kansas, on the
lIth inst. of PuerpeIal fever, Mrs. EDNA G.
KENT, wife of OrsOn Kent, Esq, aged % years
and 80 days.
This affective providence of God cast quite a
gloom over the little circle of society IN Burlug
ton for although the deceased had been living
here only thirteen months, that brief period had
proved long enough to endear her to all who knew
her.
In what seemed to US as the morning of her life.
suddenly the Master called her up higher. She
had chosen the better part, having been for about
four years a member of the Christian Church d,
and as u true disciple, could say, with the imme-
date prospect of death in view, Il am not afraid
to die"
Ere deaths approach could be by watch
ing friends, her spirit seemed TO be surveying ce-
leetial glories. On returning from one such
transporting scene, she exclaimed, 30, have had
a hard struggle l was near heaven, so near that
I could hear the music of the choiTs and now
where am this is not my home" If she ex-
pressed any desire to remain earth, It was The
expression of devoted wife, and tender moth
er's love for her husband and babe.
