Tn. Din 10 CAsr-Ths Draft took
place on Monday, and twelve hundred
citizens Of Kansas will be summoned to
enter the ranks. or fosaish substitutes.
The Draft is no respecter of persons. but
hss '.gobblsd up" men of ell conditions.
We procured the names drawn for this
Township. on Monday. BY Telegraph; but
as there may have been mistakes in some
names in transmitting them. We will not
publish them until next week. BY which
time we expect to have correct list. All
parts Of the Township were remen bered.
White Cloud has 81, or eight in the draf
ted and hundred per cent. list.
In view Of the feeling throughout Kan
sas regarding this draft. We wish those
who are compelled to shoulder the mus
ket, as well as their friends who remain
at home. to tsis>s short look back into
the past. While Thomas Carney was
Governor. . draft was twice threatened
Kansas. She bad then. ss now. more
than FLIED her quota. Governor Carney
demanded justice from the War Depart
ment, and was bluffed. But be stuck the
facts and figures. under their syes so plain.
ly that they were compelled to yield. and
Kansas was freed from drsf,-as Presi
dent Lincoln said. they were at last com.
PEELED to treat Kansas as other 10y al
States. When the Hundred Day regi.
ment was called for, some of the officers
of the State Militia. through q misun.
derstanding or . bluuder, proceeded to
draft men for it. We all remember the
big howl that was raised against Gov
Carney for this. notwithstanding the fact
that not a man so drafted was compelled
to 60. And as long as be remained
Governor. Kaasas escaped the draft. But
Lane and his friends wanted to rule The
State. They carried the election, and
now control every branch of the State
Government. They have the Governor,
State officers. Legislature, members o.
Congress, and Federal sppointees. Th.
very first important event. after their &C.
cession to power. is the injustice and dis
grace of draft in Kansas. For augh'
that has come before the public. thes.
men have lot even tried to ward of ths
draft. Ard p,srhaps. in few weeks. thi'
one will be followed by snother. Th.
people of the Stats are fairly revelling in
the sweet fruits of their last November
achievement

GLoR1oUs FROM South CAROLINA -
Sherman has it oil bis own way. down

of several millions of specie belonging to

valuable property. in consequence of an
accident on the only railroad not cut by
our troops. They therefore destroyed the
property. and pluudered the city.
Columbia having fallen. Charleston
was evacuated by the rebels. This is con-
firmed BY their own papers; and also BY
an official dispatch from Commander
Dshlgreen to the Navy department. dated
the 1s:h. in which be says that Charles.
ton was abandoned by the rebels, and be
was on his way with his feet to take
possession.
These events seal the fate OF Whining.
ton. and perhaps of Richmond also. How
ever. the Richmond papers boast that the
South is not whipped yet And the
rebel papers every day publish an account
Of a cavalry fight near Augusta. in which
Wheeler drove Fitzpatrick back several
miles. While Sherman was marching
through Georgia, Wheeler was whipping
Fitzpatrick every day, and finally killed
him. The next thing. Savannah went
up. We suspect that this bad luck of
Kilpstrick's now, will turn out after the
same style.

A LITTLE REnlNIscsNcE.-Last An.
gust, . man named James H. Lane made
spsach in this place. Those who were
present. will remember what advantage
he took Of the blnnler BY which men
were drafted for the Hundred Days Rrgi-
ment. How he pictured the Disgrace Of
draft put rpon the State by Tom Car
ney. when Kansas was 5000 ahead Of
all calls. Tom Carney is not Governor
now. but q man chosen by Lsue occupies
his place. There have sine. been no calls
to reduce that excess Of 5000 troops; yet
the very 6rst call tina. comes. under
this new regime. Kansas is subjected to
draft for 1000 men. This is not ALL
Northern and Southern Kansas contain
about equal population-nos 500 differ
ence in the number of enrolled men
yet Northern Kansas is required to fur
niSh more than two men to one for South,
ern Kansas. Tbs Northern District stands
draft for nearly 900. while Southern
Kansas supplies no. 400. Why 50 .!
Because Jim Lane. Sid. Clarke and Gov
Crawford live in Southern Kansas! We
are not aware that any attempt has been
made to suspend the draft; but we do
know that Gov. Crawford's County was
not required to furnish a single man; end
that the popu!ous city Of Lawrence. tn.

New EsTERpRIsE.-We contemplate
establishing General Respon nsibility''
Office, the main business of which shall be
to shoulder everything that is unpleasant
to every body else. We have the telegraph
office-and what is the use of the tcle.
graph, if matters cannot be made to 60 to
please everybody? For example: If a
draft should occur, and we. knowing the
extreme anxiety of every one to learn the
result. should take the trouble to procure
the list of conscripts at the earliest mo-
nent. by telegraph. and impart tho infor-
nation to every conner, free Of charge.
that part of it would be all well enough.
But suppose some person is drafted who
thinks be should not be enrolled here; or
some one who thinks he ought to have
escaped. and that somebody else could
have better stood it; or some one who has
been systematically shirking out Of risk
which his neighbors and fellow-cltizens
are compelled to run. bnt whose name
mysteriously finds its way into the wheel,
and is drawn out-all this is unpleasant
to the parties i'm medisteIy interested. and
they feel wol6sh at somebody, they can
not exactly tell whom, or why. Wepro-
pose to shoulder the blsme-because we
keep the telegraph. Such persons may
secure exemption; or, again. they may
6nd the Provost Marshal mean enough to
refuse to take their simple say,so. but de.
msnd evidence which does not exist
blame it all on us. In fact, should per.
sons receive intelligence OF the death Of
friends. or Of the loss of property. by tel.
egraph, we don't know but that we shall
consent to answer for the death, or make
good the damage.
