Heavy Skystering.

Marshall. the banner county, has quota
of thirteen men, which proportion she
will not fail in sending forward at the need
ful hour. But by no means let it be said
that ker patriotism is slumbering and that
a draft was the necessary resort in order to
comply with the wishes of our efficient Ex-
ecutive.
Volunteers will be accepted until the
Goth of this month, and should that time
fail to bring together the desired number,
a draft will be resorted 10 in order to carry
out the full intent of Gen. Sherrys order.

he official trickery and mismanage-

The official strickery and mismanage-
ment which have characterized the enroll
ment of The Hundred Days Regiment
have eliminated, as we feared, in another
inglorious Fraud. Carney has openly VII
olated his promise to keep his Guberuato-
rial fingers out of the military pie, and
his indecent haste to distribute commissions
among his own personal supporters has
completely upset the peoples patriotic pro-
gramme and literally knocked the new
regiment into cooked hat Conservative

Upon the request of the Government,
Gov. Carney issued his proclamation call
ing upon the patriotism of Kansas to re-
spond and desiring that if sufficient
number of volunteers should not present
themselves by the goth inst, that each
company should decide by lot who should
be detailed to make up the deficiency.
We can see no draft in this-no compul.
sion on the part of any, but only, in our
opinion, a proposition.
Now we calmly submit to liberal min
ded and patriotic people-frst if any one
man is responsible, and who it is, or is
there anything wrong to be responsible

f. Tom. Carney's Draft.
His Shystering. Disgusts His Best
3, - eze Friends.

We dislike to kick dead man, or dis
turb carcass after it begins to "smell -
but our readers will bear with us for once
! more dragging Tom. Carney's last usur-
patton before them and stating the facts
of The whole matter-facts that can be pro-
yen-most Of fthemb Carney's own organs
- About two months ago Gov. Carney yis-
tied Washington and rendered to the Pres
ident two regiments of One Hundred Day. S
Men, TO be accepted by the General Gov
ernment on The same terms as similar reg
iments from other States; TO wit no
= bounty, to be clothed fed and paid as other
troops, by the Government, and to serve
wherever needed. The President declined
to accept the regiments for reasons best
known to himself The Governor again by
letter addressed the President, urging the
the acceptance of the two regiments. and
to get rid of Carney decently the Pres-
dent referred the matter to Gen. Halack,
Chief of Staff, and he refused TO accep!
the regiments for various military reasons,
which were good, and would have satisfied
anybody but a bore and a nuisance. Car
ney came home, with his lip down and head
swelled layed his grievances, complaints
and correspondence with the President,
before his Man Friday, (CoI. Vaughn,
who is the hired editor Of the Times, Car
ney's paper and which vas in due time
and form spread before the readers Of his
paper, laying the cause of the Presidents
action at Lanes door. This correspond
ence was rcpublished in most of the Carney
organs through the State, each adding an
appropriate howl.
A few weeks after all this transpired, the
guerrillas became unusually active along
the Missouri border, and the General Gov
erhment authorized General Curtis to call
upon Governor Carney for a regiment of
the One Hundred Days soluateers that he
was SO anxious to furnish .rga
Upon the receipt Of this information the
Governor Issued his call for men, assign
ing to each Brigade District its quota /;
one paragraph Of said order readiag thus
''any number of the quota not filled by
volunteer enlistmen,s will be drawn by
lot from the company"
= The Times, in urging the raising of
men, said:
"If the militia of Leavenwor,h wait for
the day appointed for the drawing of the
men, il will be a stigma upon them they
will moi soon get rid Of s
Again in its issue Of the 10th nit. it said
To-day is the 10th of July. But two
more days remain in which to fill up the
quota from the militia of this city for the
Seventeenth regiment Unless il is filled
by the 18th, a draft viii certainly be or
dered, AID some of those gentry who will
neither volunteer themselves nor induce
others to do so, will be compelled to shoul-
der their muskets and march to the tune
of SIC per moath and no bounty.

Carney't second class organ, of the same

Carney't stcOna class organ, of the same
date, said !: -
'.For the information Of the public we
are authorized to state:
1st. That men drawn from militia COM
panies may procure substitutes, and will
be allowed to the 22d inst. to do SO.
I'd. The quotas assigned to companies
must be furnished either by enlistment or
by lot. The colonels commanding, cap
fains or officers commanding aoiH be held
responsible that the orders are strictly obeyed.
Our readers will readily see that with
such orders and instructions staring COM
manding officers in the face there was no
course but open matiny or quiet submis-
sion.' Now, as free man, We ask where
the Governor gets his authority for such
orders. -.4.--l. ..-...'..
Let US pursue this affair little further
and we will see that another phase or scene
in the drama throws little light upon the
past.
In tie Governors order calling for men,
he assures them that they will be allowed
20 elect their own company officers. Let
US see how we'll he keeps his promise.
Brig, Gen. Sherry accompanied the men
from this, his district to Leavenworth,
about sixty in all. After arriving in camp
atthe Fort, bis men proceeded to elect their
own oficers-electipg two-a captain and
lieutenant. Gen. Sherry applied for their
commissions, but they were refused him,
and be was Informed that the men must
muster in before the commissions were is
sued. To this the Gen. and men objected /;
for, after being mustered, the Governor
could appoint over them whom he pleased.
After much parleying and figuring, the
General was inform ed that if the men elec-
ted were good Carney men they would be
commissioned. [Of this latter fact we are
informed By several men that went, from
here and have returned II was also as
certained that commissions had already
been issued for the whole regiment to
pimpish looking fellows with big cigars and
kid gloves who put on many city airs over
the country recruits. Ascertaining this
abomiuable state Of affairs, Gen. Sherry
informed his men they had better go bone
which they did. Gen. Sherry receives
great praise from the boys, and certainly
deserves it, for standing by them and be-
tween them and a swindling, lying, shys-
tering clique.
Gen. Sherry has been Carney's strong
est stsupporter in the Northarn Tier, but this
game was so mean and low that the Gene
rails conscience would not permit him to be
party thereto.

A Destructive Hall and Wind

A destructive Hail and Wind
S:Orm.-Several Farmers Crops
Entirely Destroyed.
Last Monday hight, August 1st. tor
nado passed few miles west of town,
its course being about twenty-five degrees
east of south. The wind blew at furious
rate accompanied with hail. Fences were
thrown down, stacks Of grain and hay des-
troyed, and On many farms every stalk of
corn is ruined. The storm passed down
Walnut creek, which is about six miles
west of here, destroying all the crops of
Messrs. Patrick Haynes, Fl. Whipple,
VIM. L. Keefover, and severely injuring
the crops of Messrs. Jacob Hull, and
Sloppy. Several members of the various
families experienced narrow escapes from
perishing. Birds, rabbits and chickens
were killed by the hail, and the grass is
cut clean from the prairie in many places.
We also learn that the storm was very
severe in the vicinity of Blue Rapids and
that the crops have suffered much. On
Little Blue directly west of here, we are
told that many fields of corn are entirely
destroyed. The roof Of Mr.. GerIngers
house three miles below town was blown
of.
We have not been able to learn of all
the damage done by the storm, but i, is

We stated last week that the reported

bug, but we were mistaken, and we clip
the following from the ~ Y. Tribune.
The teIegraphic stories concerning
Peace conferences at Niagara Falls have
slender foundation in fact, but most of
the details are very wide of the truth.
The Editor of this paper has taken part
10 and been privy to no further or other
negotiations than were fully authorized
and more than authorized but these rela-
ted solely TO bringing the antagonists face
to face in amicable rather than bcligerant
attitude, with view to the limitation Of an
earnest effort for Peace, to be prosecuted
at Washington. The movement has had
no immediate success. x
More than this be does not as vet feel at

ference that the pacifcation of onr country
is neither so difficult nor so distant as seems

he insists on confluence of the War;

success. President Lincoln has frankly
indicated the vital conditions whereon he
insists; but the oher party have only OBJ
jec,ed to his terms OF Reconstruction with

they might have been brought to sci forth
their terms Of Peace and that, whether
these were reasonable or otherwise, the
National cause would thereby have been
