Kanaus officer, an Eyc-sFitnras.
The Leavcnworth Conservative contains q
letter from Capt. Tholen Of the I'd kausas In
fantry correcting the conflicting reports as to
the death OF Gen. Lyon. The writer says:
As he WIS killed Wills riding at the head Of
my company, allow me to give through your
paper true account Of this sad event. Gen.
LYON vas wounded while directing the charge
OF the lat Kansas, 1st Missouri aud lst Iowa,
riding 4. TINT time with the last named resi-
ment. His horse, q gray stallion. being killed
under him, and the General himself being
the Iowa regiment who saw him fall, and sup
posiug him killed, originated the report that
he was killed while leading their regiment.
He however got on his feet agnin, took horse
from one Of bis orderlies, q dark bay one,l
and rode back to where our regiment, the "a
Kansas, was lying In reserve. lie ordered the
regiment Immediately forward, 1orvara, marching NM hg Up
batteries, thence to the right to the
Can't. Mcclure, being thrown out
as skirmishers, in charge Of Col. {then Maior)
Cloud. The regiment was marching In col
umu of two, Gen. Lyon riding to the left Of
the head of the column and Col. Mitchell to
the right. Having arrived at the place where
to line of battle, he ordered Col Mitchell to
form tho regiment into line. At this moment
We sow the enemy drawn mp about 100 yards
ahead Of US, who tired Immediately full vol
ley at the head Of our column. This llre killed
Gen. Lyon, wounded Col. Mitchell seriously
In two places, and killed and wounded thir-
teen members Of my company.
Lieutenant Gustnvus Schregcr and Sergeant
Fishbaek, both Of my company, Jumped i'm
mediately forward and caught the General
Willie falling from his horse, aud carried him
of the field. There was at the time none ol
Gen. Lyon's staff, body guard, orderlIes or
servants with him except one German SER

ever since he le1 Fort Riley. Lieutenant
schrcger and Sergeant Fishback carried the
Generals body about forty yards to the rear

charge Of the above named servant. 4 stat
officer Of the General, whom ] believe to be
Major (now Gcneral) Sctoflcld, arrived there
and took the body in chargc.
Regarding the last words Of Gen, Lyon,
must state that according to the report oil

Lieut.. Schregcr asked him the question

THE 4 ROLITlON or SLAVERY

The adoption ofatbe Constitutional amend
ment for the abolition Of slnrcry, was cele-
bratcd In London by an imposing gathering,
OF which the last European accounts give
glowing reports Nothing can be possibly
more calculated to admonish us to crown the
abolition Of slavery By the raising ol the
freedmen from their present political and 60
cial disabilities, than this universal rejoicing
Of mankind 1t the ohlitesation Of wron ::
which was the only stain upon the American
escutchcon. We stand not only pledged to
make The abolition Of slavery cflectual and
irTcyocable for MI future times, as far As The
freedmen are concerned who aided in fighting
our battles. but also In respect TO the public
opinion Of mankind, which would certainly
change from admiration into lasting scorn
and dc1ision, If We should prove recrcant 10
this pledge, and allow this noble achieve
meDt, conquered BY heroes, 10 he misetaply
blastcd by demagogucs.
When all the iniquities Of the nineteenth
century are told, 1t will be found that the
emancipation OF the Acrfs In Russia, and thu
abolition OF slavery In America, will suffice to
redeem the nge aud make 1t forever memora-
BILE In history. These two c0nsunmatiops
constitute the great humanitarian victories OF
the civilization Of this generation over bar
uarism.
A sad dcsecration, however, OF these great
events is just now haunting the laud. MANY
Of our public men, instead Of deyotiur ali
thcir attention to healing the wounds iuaict-
cd by slayary upon The white and the colored
races, are all Of sudden engaged in the in
credible task Of re-opening them, BY giving
