MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION.

The Union Ministerial Association OF
Southern Kansas met at Americas on
the 18th of July. There was fair at
tendance, and the session was character
lied by the utmost freedom of speech
and entire harmony and good feeling
among its members. We have seldOui
attended more interesting meeting.
We were notified that we might be-
come members of the Evangelical Ali
ance of the United States of America,
if we would form ourselves into q
branch thereof, and adopt the "Basis
and Principles" of the same. Accord
ingly the constitution of the Associa-
lion was changed and such an Alliance
was formed.
Our purpose In this movement is to
enlist aud unite according to the Basis
as many of the followers of Christ OF
all denominations as possible, in the
| work of maintaining and exhibiting the
true unity of the Church of Christ.
We do not seek to obliterate denomina-
tional distinctions we do seek to do
away with all odious party feelings by
becoming better acquainted with each
others views and feelings.
We therefore earnestly and cordially
invite all lovers of the Lord Jesus
Christ in reach to unite with US In this
audable undertaking.
All who can accept the 'Basis of the
Evangelical Alliance of the United
States of America" and are in reach OIL
the place of meeting, will please be in
attendance at our next meeting. Due
notice of the time and place thereof
will be given.
We hope also that all friends of the
cause will lend us helping hand. We
want the preachers to call attention to
it in their public ministratiOns, and the
papers friendly to the cause will please
give the subject some notice and the
people will please talk the matter over
among themselves, so that we can have
q large and enthusiastic meeting when
we come together again.

THE WAR.

There has, at the present writing, been
no decisive battle fought between the
contending nations over the sea. Ru-
mOrs of battles and conflicting stories
of victories gained, first on one side aud
then on the other, are received, but as
to the exact situation OF the armies
nothing very reliable can be asserted.
The French capital is reported to be
filed with excitement, and notwith-
standing the French reports claim the
defeat of the Prussians in almost every
instance, the fearful looking forward to
the siege of Paris on the part of its in
habitants, would indicate that the Prus-
sian advance on French soil Is in no
wise checked by their defeat in the sun
dry engagements reported by the French
authorities. Napoleon declares before
any intimation that the Prussians desire
peace, that no proposition for peace will
be entertained SO long as there are arm
ed enemies on French soil, and that he
will prosecute the war to the bitter end.
The Paris papers, on the other hand, are
calling upon the people to stand firm
and united in defense of the govern
ment, and suggest that ali parties be an
initiated in an earnest effort to protect
the capital against the invaders. What
these things indicate, every one can I'M
derstand. The French are aware that
the sympathies of the popular govern
ments of the world are against the EN-
peror, and with no faith themselves in
the ultimate success OF their arms in
this contest, they endeavor to bolster
up folorn prospect by misrepresenta-
ton of the situation and appeals to a
patriotism that lacks the consciousness
of good cause to give it life and vigor.
The dissatisfaction of the people with
the extravaganza and tyrannical meas
ures of the Emperor, manifested in so
many ways ON divers occasions during
the past two years, is of too long stand
ing and too deeply rooted to berannihil-
ated by an effort and means so sud-
denly made, so hastily considered, and
so il-advised as this, to unite the fac
tons and merge into apatriotic support
of an unpopular dynasty a people who
are so prone to rebellion.
What the end will be and when the
fighting shall cease, cannot be guessed.
1t is hoped that the French will be
defeated. But what the christian world
hopes to gain by this is in no manner
certain, if the war should end as so ar
IDENTIFY wished for, in the overthrow OF
Napoleon. The French people are in
no manner fitted for republican form
of government, and the defeat of the
Emperor at this time is quite as likely
to be spark to influence the insured
tionary and impulsive spirit of the
French people and overwhelm the ma
ton in civil strife, as it is to nourish
the weak shoots of republicanism that
have sprung from the revolutionary
blood of the past, and the immediate
results of such an event are so horrible
to contemplate that it would seem better
to endure his despotism until the pro
gressive spirit of humanity and the in
evitable changes and developments o
time shall establish by peaceful, orderl.
methods better government.

EXPRESS ROBBERY.

On Friday evening last the United
States Express car on the Missouri Pa
cific road, soon after the train left Scott
station, was entered by two rough-look-
ing men, their faces concealed by
masks, who demanded of the messen-
ger the keys OF the safe in which the
money was deposited. He refused to
comply, when they seized him, forced
him down on the floor, and after q Sc
we're struggle, disabled him by a blow
on the head. Then they bound him 10
q heavy chest, took the keys from his
pocket, and took possession of all the
money found therein, except one pack
age containing 5000 in coin, and ST.
coo in currency, which they overlooked.
They jumped from the train before it
reached Jefferson City, and made their
escape. The amount stolen amounted
to $4,000.

WAR NEWS.

PARIS, Aug. %.
An important Carlist rising is report
ed in the provinces of Navarro aud
Gerenona, and troops are leaving Mad
rid for the scene.
PARIS, Aug. %.
The Carlists are now swarming in the
Northern Provinces of Spain. All the
reports from the frontier indicate the
approach of formidable disturbances in
Spain.
LONDON, Aug. %.
A Herald special says: "a strong
anti-Bonaparte feeling exists in Madrid
in consequence of revelation that be-
fore the war with Spain Napoleon had
engaged to restore Isabella to the throne
of Spain in return for the cession of the
Balearioa Islands to France.
A fight occurred at Lisbon between
French and German citizens, during
which many were killed.
At Madrid important consultations
have taken place between the Regent
and Ministers. A coup Getdt is daily
looked for.
LONDON, Aug. %.
It is rumored that French ambassa-
doris, at neutral courts, have asked for
interposition of the great powers to
guarantee the French dynasty.
has issued a proclamation, ordering all
strangers, natives of countries now at
war with France, and not naiuralized
citizens, 10 leave Paris and the Depart
ments of the Seine, within three days.
They must quit France, or at least retire
to some departments on the other side
of the river Loire. Ali strangers who
come within the above Injunction, and
do not conform to it, will be arrested
and turned over to the military tribunal,
unless special permission to remain is
received from the Governor of Paris.
PARIS, Aug. so.
The population of the suburbs of
Paris were panic stricken at the first
news of the rapid approach of the Prus-
slams, and crowds of country people
living near, rushed into the city with all
their effects. Calm reaction, however,
soon succeeded and the same persons,
lately so terrified, are now energetically
preparing the city for defence.
There is much confusion occasioned
here by the foaced departure of large.
number of Germans.
The journals f1licitate the government
upon measure which will insure the
retreat of many enemies.
The La Liberte says the hour of q
great battle has arrived that the situa-
ton has now a new aspect. and battle
must now take place in the valley of
Argon. However, we will soon know.
as we already have reason to believe
that great battle is now raging. If the
Prussians are repulsed they cannot
march on Paris, but must retreat behind
the Moselle. Every moment France is
growing more formidable; even now
she is preparing vast armies Numbers
of new regiments are now ready to take
the field.

A workingman's convention met a
few days ago in Cincinnati. Its delib-
erations were quite consistent and har-
monious until it was moved that the
African American citizen be admitted,
when q great debate begun, in which
the notorious demagogue, Samuel f.
Carey, who had been admitted to the
convention, was made q leading charac-
ter. Somebody thought the negro as
likely to give respectability and pur-
pose to it as the scoundreI who for thirty
years preached temperance and at last
compromised his record of purity by
saying, in q speech to his working
constituents, that it was of no conse-
quence to him whether his brother
drank or not-he had but himself to
look after. The negro was finally ad-
mitted.

more men than those he so bitterly CON-
planned Of in his speech in Emporia,
who wished to hear him say why the
charges against him were not true.
They were bound to conclude, because
he did not that he could not refute
them, and that the tears he shed and the
appeals he made were like those of a

There has seemed to be q great dis
satisfaction in the nominations of sever
al Congressman In the southern districts
Of Ohio. Judge Winans, who was per-
haps as pure and as able as any of the
Ohio delegation, refused renomina-

will represent the fifth district in his
stead. John A. Smith has been renom-
mated in the sixth district by the Re-
publicans, aud General j. w. Denver,
formerly Provisional Governor of the
Territory of Kansas, by the Democracy.
In both conventions there was anything
but harmony, and it is matter OF

o don't you remember the time, Jane,
When the fashions were simple and neat !
When a lady. might go to party,

When we braided our hair in our necks, Jane,
And fastened it there with bow
But now girls have little to boast of,
The fashions have thinned it out Sc.
We needed no corsets to hold us;
Our lungs had plenty of room;
Our forms Vgere completely unfettered
Our checks wore the ripe apples bloom;
We could ramble all day without firing,
For our feet were not cramped with tight

She must go with her carriage and beaux.
Where, now, can the girls find the time, Jane,
At learping's deep fountain to drink
They can only keep up with the fAshions;7
They've no time t. read or to think.
When L look at their FITTINGS and fpunces,
And their ten thousand trimmings, o, fe!

And L wish, TO the moon, L could fly.

Too precious, too short, and too sweet,

Tis only vain wicked cheat;
For the world is no full of bright things, dear,
We had best keep our souls wide awake
We shall gather IN jewels Of mind, Jane,
Unless we reach out, and partake.
But our heads are besprinkled 18th gray, Jan
We're done with gay ribbons and curls
And II d mt pay TO lengthen our faces,
