PROSTITUTION OF OFFICE.

Brigadier General Wood. soon after his pro
motion, issued an order without authority
for an election to be held at Council Grove u
elect Colonel Of the 7th (now eth) Regimen
Kansas State Militia, to ELL the vacancy causet
BY his promotion. The election was held OF
the day appointed, and Maj Lockwood electet
Colonel. A few days before that election ar
order was issued from the Office Of the Adju
tant General Of the State, requiring Lieut.. Col
Smith to order An election. In obedience Il
said order, Col. Smith ordered An election t.
be held At Cottonwood Falls on the I'd day o.
May. On the 10th day of April, Gen. Wood
issued Special Order No. 2, setting aside the
election held on April 18th in obedience to hi.
order, on the frivolous excuse that the Colonel
elect had not complied with his order and drill.
ed the squad of officers. Had he have requir.
ed the candidates to exercise the squad in vocal
music, it would have been just as binding
The General did not have the manliness to
acknowledge that mis- order calling the election
WAS illegal and without authority On the Isl
day Of May Gen. Wood issued an order to Mai
Lockwood, requiring him to notify all the
commissioned officers in Morris county, that
the election ordered by Col. Smith, the next
day, was postponed. The same day, and few
hours after issuing the order, Gen. Wood start
ed for Cottonwood Fails, and was there when
the election was held The officers Of Chase
county, in ignorance of the order, although
Gen. Wood was present. proceeded to the elec-
ton, and elected Lieut.. Col Smith.
Can the Commander-in.C Chief expect that the
militia organization of the Sth regiment can
be sustained, when such men as s. N. Wood
can issue lying orders at will? His only OBJ
ject in issuing the order postponing the cleo
ton to be held on the I'd, must have been to
deceive the officers of Morris county and pre-
vent their attendance, elect one who would be
subservient to him, and punish political op-
ponent. If this is the weapon he uses to kill
his political opponents, he will quickly find he
using two-edged sword, with the sharpest
edge presented to his own breast.
A petition is in circulation asking the Com
Chief to order . new election
There can be no doubt but that the prayer of
the petition will be granted. A majority of
the commissioned officers were not present At
the election. They were detained at home by
the order of Gen. Wood, and supposed that
that order was issued in good faith. 1t was q
trick that none but an unprincipled man, and
one destitute Of manliness and honor, would
resort to. And if hereafter Gen. Wood should
see his orders treated with contempt, he can
have the reflection that it is the natural result
of his own dishonesty.

FROM 8. n. WOOD.
COUNCIL GROVE, May 5, 81.

MAJOR R. B. LOCKWOOD You say 10
a note to-day, elf your support of Ewing
is in good faith, there need be no political
ground between u.s." l assure you that
there never has been time in Kansas that
I did not prefer Ewing to any other man.
I wish that could think that your support
Of him was in good faith, and that under
no circumstances would you support Lane,
then indeed there need be no political quar-
rel between US. But you will recollect the
bitter personal fight that you made last fall,
and Of electioneering against me because
was I" Anti Lane"
You will recollect the kind Of persons
with whom you are affiliated now. They
are the most Radical Negro Suffrage portion
of the Republican party. Look at the pa.
per you are giving away; no paper could
be stronger against Ewing than the Con-
serudtiue.
Look at the letters you wrote recently to
Jonathan Hammond, S. H. Atkinson, June
Baxter, where your only anxiety is not for
Ewioe but to "kill Sam Wood" Look
again At the letters you are writing to S. S.
Howard, Samuel Buchanan, H. L. Hunt
aud others of Chase county, where you
say, "bring out your strongest man in
t;.Ssse county to defeat Wood and zoe viii
sunno-t him." Look at the men with
whom voS are afiiliating in this county and
Chase, near,; every man . Lane mao
Look at the delegate you sent TO Topeka
and his course in the Topeka Convention.
If you are Ewing man, i: seems to me
you are taking very poor way 20 snow II

and to the division Of Ewing's friends.
Besides, you are at this time 10 cores
pondeuce with Lane. aud Major Farnsworth

few days ago. indirectly remarked that
/" Lockwood was pledged to Lane. Nov,
ono word Of advice. You cannot be Lane
and Anti Lane at the same time. You
will have to be ono or the other. If you
are I" Anti Lane" and for Ewing, it IS time
you quit lighting Ev,ng's friends. II you
are for Lane you ought to say 50 and rally

forebodings found q resting place in the
minds of those who knew the tenaeity ol
purpose aud fertility of resources which
characterize Grant, and the advantages of
the next day verified their hopes.
The battle recommended at daylight on
Saturday, but the firing was scattering. and
no fierce attacks were made on either side.
Both Generals we're intent on strategy and
neither anxious to bring on a general en-.
gagement. Lee seemed intent on cutting
our communication via Germans Ford.
Grant appeared utterly Indifferent to this
and seemed rather to court it, by with
drawing Sedgwiek's corps from bis position
and throwing it back BY Germania Ford,
near his own headquarters, and pushing
Burnside out on the Spottsylvania Court
House road, threatening Lees line Of com.
munication. The new line of battle formed
by the change in the position o. the corps
extended north and south, and gave Lee
the choice of being cut of from his Capital
and riskisg everything upon battle: 6eld.
or to retreat. At 2 p. M, Burnside was
veil under way to Spotssylvania Court
House. Lee had thrown infantry on our
rieh. and drove our pickets to the Germania
Ford road. The result could only be .
psecipitate retreat on the part Of Lee, to
prevent our army being throva between
himself and Richmond, o., : de,dly contss:
