bondage that it embodies the highest elms and aspirations of which the human soul is capable; alsoj that It has a destiny, and that destiny is not the perpetuation of chains and slavery for human beings, but the enfranchise men of all men, and their elevation to a political status designed for them by Nature, and only denied by the avarioious hand of power. 1 Neither are we prepared, as we understand Mr. Parrott to have urged, to retraot the ir-repressime oonfliot" dootrine, which constituted one of the elements of the' late1 oanvass, and which the people endorsed by the elevation te the Presidency ef, the 'man who first gave it expression. To, assume the two systems of labor upon which the industrial interests of this country are based, can ever be harmonized, or even thatthere Is not a natu- ral and irrepressible conflict between them, which can never be harmonized, is to deny the plainest lessons of the hour, and to ignore the moat prominent instincts of our nature. Ample evidence of the existence of that eon- fliot is afforded upon every side in the an tagouisnt of the two systems when brought side by side in the speedy mastery and extinction slave labor by free labor when brought into competition, and in the compar- ative results to society of, the workings of the I two While it is proper, and even necessary, for all, of whatever political distinction, to unite in the support of the Government and.

resist, with their combined force, the efforts that are being made for its destruction, it is not proper or necessary thst Republicans should ignore their principles or belie their past history. To be a Republican it is necessarily to be a Union man and when a Republican deserts his party organization, because it is not sufficiently identified with the Union, it is but an evidence that his Republicanism," as welf as his loyalty, needed intensifying instead of modification. a Saiariks or OrricKRs. A bill, fixing the salaries of State officers, has for some daya, been pending before the Legislature, and will probably soon come up for final action in the Senate. We are gratified to see that a disposition prevails to economize in this matter and prevent the depletion of the Treasury by ex-orbitant salaries.

We question, however, the propriety or necessity of curtailing the eala. ries of the State offioers to the extent proposed. While it is, of course, incumbent upon tie Legislature to husband the resources and guard well the income of the State, yet a due regard to the dignity of official position, and to the seouring of capacity and integrity for those positions, would indicate the wisdom of liberally rewarding those who entet its service. In no other way can a thorough and satisfactory administration of the Government be secured. Men of character and capacity will not desert lucrative vocations for a compensation less than what their business would bring them with equal ease and certainty and such men it is of, the highest importance should be secured for places of hon- or, responsibility and trust in our government more especially now, while our country is new and its resources undeveloped.

In these respects the Government will be greatly advantaged by the pres enoe of Kansas troops in Texas, while the transfer will undoubtedly be agreeable to tht Kansas boys, many of whom have been desirous since '56, of a chance of reclaiming that country. 86? A signal instance of official honesty hat lately been brought to light in the administration of the Territorial government. R. B.

Mitchell, late Territorial Treasurerjtands credited with $1,008 of Territorial' scrip, for which there is no corresponding entry against him on the'books. The faot that Mr. Mitchell hat reported this amount baok to the Treasury, when he might have abstracted it, and the people been none the wiser, notwithstanding his well known Democratic proclivities, is entirely unpreoenU td, and demands explanation.

Dear Sir One military company was formed here a few days ago, er within three days of the receipt ef the militia law. It numbert about fifty men. Another mounted company is being organ ized la this ounty. The company already organized, is officerej as follows Captain, L. F.

Orderly Sergeant, R. Bishop. The Captain, Mr. Luke Parsons, fought under John Brown at Ossawatomie, besides ether places, in '56. The company passed a unanimous resolution instructing the officers to use all meant in their power to secure the eleoton of W.

A. Phillips as Colonel of the 5th regiment, or Brigadier General of the Western Brigade. There are none in this county who openly, and only a few who secretly sympathize with the rebels of the "Confederate States." An attempt was made to organize an independent company, but it failed. We have had rains. Grass is hand high in the Smoky Hill Valley.

Wheat, pota. toes and spring crops look magnificently. Quite a number of emigrants are coming into this place from the States and Eastern Kansas. There are abundanoe of fine claims here An excellent location for a good blacksmith, as well as other meohanics. All the Indians west of this are, so far, perfectly peaceable.

The towns and settlements here, are I think, perfeotly able to take care of themselves, and guard the frontier. GARVEY'S HOTEL. corker or By the tale of MU Vernon Col. Wash-ington resorted to himself net only the tomb of Washington but also an aore of ground around it. The President takes the deepest interest in tht desperate etruggle now going on in Ten' netsee, between the Union men and the secessionists.

Measures are in contemplation for the sup-' port of the gallant Andrew Johnson and friends in their deroted efforts for the Union. Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, has satisfied the War Department that several officials at Forts Lear en worth and Riley are open syms pathisera with the Southern rebels. A thor- ough cleaning out has already been ordered. Parties from Northern Missouri now here are urging the Government to ation an army in r-that country. The Tribune says the Government has Intel-i ligenoe that large bodies of Mexicans are garrisoning their frontier towns.

There is new no doubt that Texas will have lively times in looking after our government troops, various tribes -of-merciless Indians and predatory bands of Mexioau soldiers and may perhaps wish she was safe homt again. 1 St. Louis, 'iay 15, Tht publio schools of this oity hava bteu obliged to close, as the Legislaure has appro-- priated the school fund for military purposes. Three hundred Irishmen presented themselves at the arsenal yesterday, and offered their services in defense of the stars and stripes. They will be sworn into service today.

The secession flag, which for a long time floated at the minute men's head-quarters, hat been pulled down by order of General Harney. The post master of this city, Mr. Foy, hat received instructions from Washington to discontinue the mail service on the river route between St. Louie and Memphis. There will therefore be no more mails on that route for the present.

It is regarded as not improbable that tbe Federal forces will march upon Wheeling and Martinsburg, Virginia, and take Harper's Ferry in the rear. Washington, May 14. The Navy Department expeots Charleston, Savannah, and the mouth of the Mississippi to be blockaded in the oourse of a week. The Providence banks will take $500,000 of the loan next week. The Government has ecoepted two regiments for three months and one for three years from Kansas.

Harrisburg, May 14. It is understood that Governor's Curtin and Dennison have pledged the Union men of Western the entire support of all the forces of Pennsylvania and Ohio to prb- teot them against secessionists. Indiana and Illinois have also pledged the Union men of Kentuoky and Mif-eouri the same way. The Governors of all the Free States from Pennsylvania West, have asked and obtained a pledge from the President that no compromise or cessation of the war shall take place until the National flag floats over all the National property. St.

Louis, May 15 m. The Evening News states that the steamer Empress, from New Orleans to this pert, arriving this morning, lost a portion of her car--go on the upward bound trip, in the following manner: The steamer was brought to by a shot fired across her bows at camp Harris, six miles above iempbis, where there is a body of four hundred State troops encamped. When landing, a body of soldiers oame on board, and. after examining the freight book, very coolly-took possession of a hogshead of sugar con, signed to the firm of Hanenkmad Hynes of' this city, giving as an excuse, that they need-. ded it.

Several of the troops examined without ceremony the freight book, in search of various artioles which they needed. After some parley, a receipt for the sugar was given in the name of the State of Tennessee, and the officers will send a bill for tbe property to tht-funtionaries at Nashville. i Washixotost, May 14. jT). -Vaughan, has been appointed Military Storekeeper at Fort Leavenworth.

Other changes of eivi! offioers have been made', both at that post and Fort Riley. Baltimokk, May 15. Gov. Hickt has issued a proclamation in answer to the President'l requisition for troops. He calls the loyal citiiens of Maryland to volunteer their services to the extent Of four for three months, to serv ewitnin the limits of Jaryland, or for the defence of.

I am, Very Respectfully Yours, W. The military mania seems to have pen-tratcd the Halls of Legislation, and we have the pleasure of announcing the organization' of a military company composed exolusively of members and attachees of the State Legislature. The company numbers 50 persons and is known as the CAPITA! Agreeably to previous appointment, Mr. Parrolt spoke to a crowded house on Wednesday evening last.

As usual, his audi-ence was highly pleased by the finished and very attractive style of oratory, which is Mr Parrott's peculiar forte. We may truthfully say that Kansas has not so perfect an orator one, who, with words polished and fitly spo-len, can so effectually enchain the attention of an audienoe, as can Mr. Parrott. Endowed with a wealth of expression seldom excelled, lie has within himself the elements of popularity possessed by few. I While, however, it is a pleasure to bear witness to his possession of these qualities in an eminent degree, wt have to regret the enunciation of sentiments in his Wednesday even-' ing's speech which ill become the times, er the positions of honor in which he has been repeatedly placed by the Republican party of Kansas.

We trust neither the Republicans of this State, nor of any other State, are yet ready to ignore the party distinctions by whioh they have been known, or to surrender one prinoipleof the creei whioh was so emphat, ically endorsed at the late Presidential eleo-I tion. have regarded the suoeessofMr. Lincoln in 1860 as a vindication of the Re-. publican organization. That success is made the pretext, by a portion of the defeated party, to disrupt the government, and thereupon demand of Republicans thatlhey abandon their organization, and discontinue their opposition to the spread of slavery.

To that demand we are not yet ready to yield. To disorganize the Republican part now, which" we under- FIFTH tt KANSAS AVENUE, TOPEKi, KANSAS. JOHN STEWART i i PROPRIETOR Captain, 1st. Lieut. 2nd.
