Another Horrible Butchery.

Bushwhackers are again getting thick
down in Arkansas and the Indian country.
Perhaps they are on their way north. A
letter in the Conservative from Fort Smith
gives the details of one of the most inhu-
man outrages ever committed by savages.
On the 4th of April. the bushwhackers at
tackled place called Roseville, in the Indi
an country, four hundred strong. We had
only part Of three companies there, in all
about eighty men. After an hours fight
the rebels left, having lost eight killed, and
several prisoners. Our loss was three kill
ed and many wounded. There happened
to be no surgeon at Roseville, and one was
sent for at Fort Smith. We let the writer
tell his own story. The DR.. Fairchild epo-
ken of, was a resident of Burlingame, and
many of our citizens were acquainted with
him. He was Assistant Surgeon in the
Sixth Kansas:
"On the 9Th Colonel Juison sent Lieu
tenant Mekibbern and twenty six men of
the Sixth, as an escort with DR.. Faircbild.
At Roseville number of wounded, rebel
as we'll as Federal, needed attention. Ten
wounded Texans were in our hands, and
ten of our own. When at Charleston,
twenty FIVE miles southeast, they learned
that 100 rebels had camped there the pre-
vious night. Six miles further they found
a camp Just abandoned. Three miles fur
Their on they were fred upon by fifty men
from a ravine; at the same time a large
force appeared in front and both sides of
the road. The Lieutenant commanding or
dered charge for the purpose of breaking
through, which he succeeded in doing, and
reached Roseville with fifteen men. 1t was
found that the Doctor with eleven men were
missing. On return to the scene of the
attack, next morning, the bodies of nine
men were found in the road, where they
fell or were shot down. The evidence was
plenty Of severe struggling. The bodies
were stripped of every particle of clothing,
and horribly mutilated. Three of them
were castrated, and others had their ears
cut off, One man lay without wound on
the body, but his head and face so beaten
with the butts of guns as to be reduced to
pulp. The features could not be distin-
guished. The other two men and the Doc
tors body were found near the road in the
timber. The, Doctor was the only one who
was not outraged. He was shot through
the head and shoulders, after being taken
prisoner. a woman living near the scene
of conflict states that Fairchild told his cap
tors the errand he was on, and asked for his
life. The others begged to be treated as
prisoners of war. The reply was brutal
oaths, fiendish execrations, and horrible as
sassinations. 1t hardly seems possible that
such fends are human

NEWS BY LAST NIGHTS, MAIL.

The evidences of the approach of the
guerrillas are still multiplying. The Con-
eervatiye of The 9Th gives same additional
dispatches. Col. Phillips telegrapbs from
tie Cherokee Nation, April 3Oth, that Col.
Adair's command is in small parties in the
Northwestern corner of Arkansas, and in
Missouri. Quantrile, with sixty men. has
also been seen, on his way north. The fol-
loving has been received from Hickman
Mills, Mo-:
"a body Of g1etrillas, about one hun,
dred and thirty strong, in two parties, are
moving up from Pleasant Grove, Bates
county, Mo. A portion of these, no doubt,
will follow the trail Of those that came up
last week.
Washin gton specials say there is no truth
in the report tina! Banks is to be relieved.
The rebels are concentrating az immense
number of troops in Virginia. but our mil.
itary leaders profess to be perfectly satisfied
with the situation.
All mail communications with the Army
of the Potomac and with the troops is Lro-
hibited for the present.
Newbern advices to April 3oth confirm
the evacuation of Washington, N. c., by
order of Gen. Butler, after spking the guns
and the destruction Of much property that
could not be carried away.
The Conservative has a dispatch from
Lame & Wilder" saying that there will be
no draft in Kansas. Her excess Of troops
is 4, 800.
By the arrival Of the steamer Belle Mem
phis this evening, we have one days later
dates from Memphis, of advices from Alex
andria. Red river, to the Gath ult, at which
place Gen. Banks was then in good posi-
ton. The rebels had followed our forces
from Grand Encore. When near Cane NV
er an engagement took place, in which the
rebels lost 1000 men and nine pieces of ar
t;llery. The gunboats are safe, notwith
standing wild rumors to the contrary.
We have news of disaster to our arms
in Arkansas. Gen. Marmaduke attacked
and captured train and its escort after
sharp fight. A report says he took 1000
prisoners. $40 wagons, and seven pieces of
artillery. This needs confirmation.

The western Boys.

After the rebels gained the first battle at
Grand Encore, and after our forces bad
been beaten and driven back on the second
day, brigade Of Western boys we're or
dered up. The rebels were pressing our
wavering lines, with yells, almost at the
point of the bayonet. The rebels saw, at
distance. the Western boys approaching
on the double-quick. The cry immediate
ly ran along the rebel lines, "Here come the
Western boys; we are gone to III now. Z"
And sure enough, they were. The West
ern boys were just in time to save the day.
Had they been an hour later, all would have
been lost, and our army driven into the
river. They were ordered to charge the foe.
With yeils they sprang like tigers upon
them. Quickly the rebals fell back
Quickly they threw down their arms and
ran, pursued By the Western heroes, and
all was saved; aud many of the guns and
much of the property lost the day before
were regained.
If ne were satisfied that Grant has a good
share of these Western boys with him for
the coming struggle, we should feel much
easier about the matter.

Notes of Travel.

LAWRENCE. Kas.. April 9th, 1864.
EDITOR News From Council Grove to
Topeka we took the Mission Greek road i.
It was my first trip over that road, and con-
sequently my impression of its merits, as
compared with the route by the Santa Fe
road to Burlingame, therce to Topeka, may
not be as favorable as further travel on it
would make. But as it is, I cannot recon-
mend the route, especially for loaded teams.
1t is too billy and rough. 1t is said to be
shorter, however, than "any other route"
What I witnessed at Topeka you also
saw so I need rot say much about that
You saw the representatives of an outraged
and liberty-loving people assemble in con-
vention to nominate delegates to the Pres
idential convention. You saw the frauds
back down most tremendously from the pre-
posterous position (which they had taken.
They are about played out, and many even
of the leaders are not slow to claim that
they never acre for the Senatorial swindle
From Topeka to Leavenworth we took
the State road. In some respects it is the
best. There is a very bad crossing at
Grasshopper creek. If that stream was
bridget and the east end Of the road i'm
proved, it would be the shortest, quickest,
and most direct route" from the capital to
LeaYenworth.

Kansas. loading our teams and transacting

districts must necessarily do when they

while there. Leavenworth is not only no.
ted for being great commercial city, but it
has the unenyisble reputation of being a
great place for rows and rowdies. AS long
as such great number of grog shops are
sustained, murders, robberies and the like
may be expected. Business is brisk.
shouldorstrap gentry, lying about saloons
and hotels, enjoying their oti~na cum digni-
tate are numerous as usual.
There is a report that Quantrile is north
of the Arkansas river with designs of in,
vading Kansas.
Lawrence is improving rapidly. a large
number of substantial buildings will be put
up this season. One hundred and fifty or
one hundred and seventy FIVE have been
built since the raid. The citizens here are
certainly proof against encouragement.
A fellow was arrested here to-day on sus-
picion of being guerrilla spy.
A good shower fell here this morning.

RushwhacIlers,

Dispatches have been received at Fort
Leavenworth announcing that gangs Of
Bushwhackers have come north into Mis-.
souri, and warning the people to be on their
guard.
g A letter to the Conservative from Fort
Gibson, April 2ai, says!
81 am Informed that dispatch has just
arrived from Col. Richie, at the Salt Lick
distant twenty miles from here), stating
that seven deserters from an outfit now on
the way north, went over to his command
today The deserters say that they were
with GIL Adair, who had command of
two hundred and oighty-fve mounted men.
They passed by Fort Gibson last night, a
few miles eastward, on their way 10 Benton
county, Arkansas. The deserters also af-
firm that the baud referred TO by me preYi-
ously in this letter as having done some
numbering two nights ago at Cherokee. was
under the command af Quantrile, and that
they numbered eighty five men. Quantrile
and Adair WeIe.to meet in Benton county,
and from there proceed uorthward in com
pany Kansas is the particular mark they
aim at
Other evidences are sufficient that these
cut-throats are on their wsy to Kansas, aud
that they intend to play strong game this
summer, in the way of raids into Kansas.
The writer further says go,
"The people of the Neosho Valley have
Particular reason to be watchful. Quantrile
ssor some aother bandit may at any time make
ga descentupon the unsuspecting inhabitants
<of that locality, and murder them, aud de-
vastate the whole country, il proper efforts
are not exerted to tkwsrt the designs of the
sggressor."

More Troops.

The Governors of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and Wisconsin have rendered to the
President 100, 600 men to serve one hun
bred days. This is done to strengthen the
grand campaign now in progress against
the rebel capital. They will be used to
garrison forts, and for home duty, while
the veterans viii be thrown into the field
on the Potomac, to strengthen Grant. They
are to be got ready in twenty days. This
is good aud patriotic movement on the
part of those Governors. We hope to hear
that other States will follow suit.

How TO SEND SUPPLIES TO UNION Prison :
ERs.-Three Lieut.. Colonels, lately released
from Libby Prison at Richmond, and mem
bers there of the Board of Distribution,
publish the following suggestions to those
wishing to send supplies to our prisoners
First. Boxes should not exceed twelve cubic
feet, or two feet square and three feet long.
ID. They should invariably be stoutly and
securely bound with iron hoops.
Sd. Coffee, tea, sugar, -four, tobacco snd ar
tices of like character should be put in stout
paper or canvas bags
4th All perishable articles should be e1clud-
ed as tending 10 injure the remaining contents.
9TH Under no circumstances should articles
Of coutraband nature, such as liquors, wines,
money or citizens clothes be sent. The prohib-
ition is imperative, and the scrutiny most thor
ough. Every box in which they are discovered
is liable 10 conhscation.
To the friends of the enlisted men we would
most emphatcally say, send nothing excepting
letters
In making this recommendation we would not
be understood as charging the Confederate au-
thorties with want Of faith or disposition TO
carry out their pledges, but owing TO the search
~ Of transportation and the uncertainty as to
the whereabouts Of the person addressed, it is al
most an impossibiliy to secure the proper deliv-
cry Of any package.

The principal object of Kilpatrick's expedi-
ton was TO prevent the rebels from making
similar incursions within our lines. and also to
reinforce Buffers department, which has been
threatened for some time past by the rebels. 1t
was thought the best and the quickest mode to
throw reinforcement of cavalry into Lower
Virginia and North Carolina. Other designs we're
merely Subsidiary TO these.
A letter to the Boston Traveller from For
tress Monroe March Z says:
1.-The cavalry under Fitzpatrick which made
the recent raid around Lees army and came
down to yorktown, have marched across the
peninsula to Newport News point, and are to-
day embarking for Portsmouth, Va, from which
place they viii march on Suffolk, where General
Hickman is quite seriously threatened by the
enemy, said TO be 1900 strong. Hickman Is
tiger, and as Fitzpatrick is to remain in command
of the cavalry, no fears need be entertained that
the enemy will long threaten Suffolk.
The enemy are pressing at all points in this
department. They seem disposed to crowd But
lsr, but he win prove too mach for them"
