Republicans of this county, can say that if he

any other man that went on jeff Davis bond can't
get smell here, consider jeff. Davis as
great traitor yet drew the breath of life,
and we are afraid to trust any man for President
that would go any rebels bond Greeley had
better go to Alabama and entertain jeff once more
before he asks for the nomination.

A KANSAS MAN BECOMES MODERN PENN
Notwithstanding the warlike attitude of the In
dians in New Mexico and Arizona, Ex-Governor
Army, formerly of Kansas, is allowed to move
among them, and through all parts of the Terrific
ries unframed. Ofall the whites in either Terri
tory, Mr.. Army is the only man who enjoys such
immunities. He has recently been paying an ex-
tended visit to the Pueblo tribes of New Mexico
by whom he WIS mpst warmly received We also
learn that during his visit, he made large col
lection of curioeites which will soon be forwarded
to Washington. Among the articles are several
mastodon bones; one, a jaw bone with three teeth
in it, which is evidently not fourth of the whole
jaw, weighs eighteen pounds, is fourteen inches in
length, and is twenty-five inches thick. 1t is part
Of the jaw of a monster, and presents object of
study for the naturalists- These bones were found
near the Pueblo Indian village of San ndefonso.

TOOMDs AND ANEW WAR.-The Richmond (Va.)
Uhig, in article Oh Gen. Toombs, says:
For our own part, we should not regret to see
this new war begin, with T0ombs and Davis the
only volunteers. Judging by the love they bear
each other, they would he much more apt to pitch
into one another than into the Yankees. The last
time we had the pleasure of seeing Gen. TOombs
during the war; he was in high disgust with jeff"
Like Wigfall, and, believe, Clay and other
conspicuous southern leaders, he had become
thoroughly convinced of the incapacity of Davis
and did not hesitate to express the conviction that
our doom was sealed, unless he could be got rid
of. Conversing with Mr.. Wigfall, about the same
time, about this confessed incapacity of our chief
asked him why he and his friends had put
him upon usi' He replied he (D.) had ceased to
be the man he was. He and Clay had talked this
matter over the day before, and they both con-
cluded he had let down. The agony which this
conviction of Davis incompetency, among those
whose hearts were devoted to the cause can new
er he told. Inevitable defeat staring them in the
face through the Incapacity of our leader, for
which there was no cure and from which there
was no escape, made many grow gray in a single
night,

Not so BAD AS THAr.-Some of our exchanges
seem to have misapprchended our remark, made
several weeks since, that twcnty-one newspapers
had died in Doniphan County, since the Chief was
started. They seem to have understood us to say
that all those papers were started for the purpose
Of running the Chief Ont. That WAS not our msan-
ing. number of those papers were legitimate
enterprises, and endeavorrd to make a living by
honest means. What we meant to say about run
ming out the Chief was, that about of pa
pers had been started, that Thought they had
special mission to run out the Chief. All the pa
pers thus referred to were not published in DOni-
phan County, and probably but few of them were
started for the especial purpose of out the
Chief We know of a few that were started for
that express purpose; but most Of them included
that among several great duties that they felt
themselves called upon to perform.

THE STORY OF THE TRIBUNE.-The New York
correspondent of the Rochester Democrat writes as
follows of the Tribune:
Harrison's funeral day was the birthday of the
Tribune. That day, as opened Edwin ID. Nor
gan's Wholesale store on Front street, where Ihad
a clerkship, / saw that a small sheet with the
above title had been thrust in. On examining its
proposals learned that it would be issued daily,
at nine cents per week, and that its editor was
Horace Greeley, well known as the log-cabin man.
Before hour had passed the little folio was for
gotten, nor did it get patron in that concern
til a long time afterwards, for it had no CONNER
cial value. But the solemn dirge that marked the
funeral pomp was the welcome of that newborn
journal which seemed inspired with vitality, en-
durance and the highest moral herosm. Born
amid this scene of sorrow, the Tribune has always
been imbued with sympathy for the masses, and
has won an enviable name as the friend of human
ity. of the entire force which was enlisted in
this great work Of building up the journal, Gree
ley is the only one left. During the thirty years
which have INTERVIEWED he has labored chow in
tensely no one but he know) the place
where he commenced. The Tribune is the only pa
per in the city which has not changed its locality,
and it was the first to make that spot centre for
journalism.

The Trustee remarked that Walnut Creek town.
ship being less than one-fourth Of the county,
several thousand acres would be a low estimate
of increase in the number of acres put in cultva-
tion last year, and the increase i'm hogs, counting
those under six months old, would amount to
over two thousand head. We consider that the
above is very fattsring report for one small
township, and is evidence that little Walnut is
not destined to lag in the great work of develop
ment that will make our county Of the first in
the State. Walnut is nobly using her efforts to
