Mr Rankin. The Railroad Surrey. On Monday, the 23d the President and Superintendent of the St. Joseph tnd Denver Railroad, and surveying party, inclu ding Messrs. Cook and Burlingame, the effi cient engineers, arrived at Troy and pitched their tents at the terminus of the old grade.

The surveying party are prepared with a rood outfit to make a journey westward. On the 25th, the Engineers, President, Super intendent. and some of the Directors, went over the proposed route as far as Wolf Riv er, making observations as to the best and most practicable location. We learn that tne Engineers will continue tne survey to Marysville, Marshall county, and probably further West. Ills very encouraging to see the work thus progressing.

Major Chew, the Presi dent, Mr. Sawin, the Superintendent, and Capt. Blackiston, one of the Directors, are evincing energy, perseverance and industry that will surely crown their labor with sue cess. Already quite a number of hands are at work on the road between Elwood and Wathena, leveling up the grade and relay ing the track. The work is being pushed forward, and ere the fronts of Winter, the shrill whistle of the locomotive, and the rattle of the cars, will be heard in our town.

1 Extra Pay to Array Officers. The statement made in the telegraphic dispatches of the sum due, under the act of Julv 13. 1S66. to volunteer officers below the rank of Brigadier General who were in ihe service on the 3d of March, 1865, and whose resignations were-presented and accepted, or were mustered out at its own re- quest, or' otherwise honorably discharged from the service after April 9th 1864, though given out from the Pay Department, proves to have been curiously incorrect and the following is furnished in its stead Infantry Colonels, $270,75 Lieutenant Colonels, $228 Majors, $199,50 Captain's Adju. tants and Regimental Quartermasters, $171; First Lieutenants, $142 50 Second Lieutenants, $123, 25.

Cavalry Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels, $270 75 Majors and Surgeons, $238; Captains, Adjutants, Quartermasters and Commissaries, $199 50; Regimental $188 50; Lieutenants and Assistant Surgeons, $152. South America. The battles which have lately been fought between Paraguay and the united forces of Brazil and the Argentine Republic, were characterized by degree of ferocity which has seldom been equalled. The rule on both sides seems to be "No quarter" to the ton quered. Defenceless prisoners are ruthless cut in pieces, and little mention is made of them.

It is slated that in a recent engagement a Paraguayan division of 3,000 men was "nearly annihilated." Nothing is said about prisoners. Iu this barbarous warfare all parties seem equally culpable. The conflict is literally a war of extermination. Senatorial. The Ottawa Journal hoists the name of Ibaac S.

Kalloch for Uuited States Senator from Southern Kansas. Mr. Kslloch is good man, a staunch radical Republican, and would carry as much ability to Washington as almost any man in the Stnte. His name headed the list of signers to the strance of thousand New England Clergymen" against the" repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Southern Kansas is en- titled to a Senator, in place of Gen.

Lane. Army Appointment. The battle of Sadowa, according to the letters of correspondents of the" Eogtisb. papers on the held, was one of the most tremendous encounters of modern limes. The letter of W.

H. Russell to ihe London Times, dated Hohenmauth, July 4th, is a very vivid dej cription, and whether true or not, is well worth reading. According lo ttm account tbe Prussians won their victory, not with their needle guns, but by superior prowess and better fighting qualities than those of iheir enemy. Tbe ground was not well adapted to infantry firing. Tbe battle was a tremendous artillery duel.

Prince Frederick Charles and the Crown Prince appear to have bad independant commands in the Prussian army, but to have acted in admirable concert the former attacking tbe Austrians in front while the latter was turning their left flank, No less than fifteen hundred pieces of artillery were brought into play on both sides and during the battle ten villages were burned. Gen. Benedek is gathering up the shattered but still powerful armies of Austria for a defensive struggle for ibe very existence of the House of Hapsburg as a ruling power in Europe. Tbe armies ol Prussia and Italy i -l sre pressing toiwara inspireu oy me iuea which Kossuth used to style "the solidarity of tbe peoples" Germany for ibe Germans, Italy for the Italians, Hungary for the Hun garians an idea that would reduce Austria from an Empire into a Dukedom. Kossuth is called up from the vasty deep of the Magyar land, the Hungarian Legion, whatever and wherever that may be.

and Vienna trembles to know whether tbe Prince of the House of Hapsburg is still King of Hungary. Meanwhile Prussia having gained all for which she set out, having swallowed up the petty Kingdoms of Germany and made her self the German Empire, and Italy having substaniial'y gained Veneiia, why do these two powers still press toward Vienna Are they aiming at the annihilation of Austria as a great power? Are Hungary and Poland to be restored? Tbe armies of Prussia, fierce with thai tasie of blood which tbe needle gun has giv en them, filled with furious energy by the great triumph of Sadowa and by lhe occupa tion of Bohemia, are pressing- towaras. Vi enna as it noimog snort oi ine destruction and dismemberment of ibe Austrian Empire would satisfy them. Sowing Wheat. It is probable that no Slate in the Union; has surpassed Kansas this year in lhe pro duction of wheat, taking into consideration the number of acres sown.

This we rausi not expeel as a general thing. Such has been the uniform carelessness in putting in wheat, and so generally has all kinds of slock been permuted to graze upou ine crop ouring me winter, thai it is is a wonder lhat, at any lime, we have produced even half a crop. We insist upon the use of ihe drill. It is no experiment. Our best farmers in all parts of the country, for the last dozen years, have born testimony to its util.ty.

Its use is pecially demanded in Kansas. We here lack snows to protect our wheat during the winter. The use of the drill will, to some extent, supply this lack. Put your wheat in deep with a drill. Sow one bushel and a half per acre and sow early, and follow the drill with a heavy roller, and with proper care, (if there be any wheat raised in the country), you will raise it.

Be careful in selecting your seed. Let it be clean; and, we repeat. tow early. Tbe last week in August and lhe first week in September is the best lime. Sow all your oat stubble the young oats will help to prevent winter killing, and then sow wheal stubble in preference lo freshly plowed ground.

Let your ground be well prepared. It will be necessary to harrow before using the drill. Jltchison Press. Circular No. 1.

Headquarters K. S. Topeka, Kam July 20, 1S66. Having been ordered by lhe Governor to "make every necessary arrangement for the protection of the frontier settlers of this Stale against hostile Indians," and assured "lhat if the General Government fails lo protect them the Slate must do it," I desire to organize a cavalry regiment of twelve companies to be denominated "Minuie Men," who may be placed in the field by the Stale in time of danger, at an hour's nolice. Each man enrolled to furnish his own horse, equipments, and if possible a breech-loading rifle and revolver.

Also blankets and other personal outfit. Arrangements are being made to store in the arsenal at Topeka a proper number of cavalry arms for those who may not be able lo furnish them. Officers who may be able lo offer a company or part of a company for this service are re quested to address me at my headquarters at Tonekn. that an equitable selection of three companies from each brigade district may be made at once. Papers in the Slate are requested to copy.

Jen. Davis.5 The committee on judiciary have made a report in which they say it is notorious mai Jeff. Davis was guilty of the crime of trea son, according to the constitution and laws or the United States, and the committee are ot the opinion that there are no obstacles to a speedy, impartial trial which cannot be removed by legislation. They say the evidence in possession of lhe committee, connecting jen. Davis with lhe assassination of President Lincoln, justifies them' in saying lhat he was privy to the measures which led to the commission of the deed, but the investigation which has been made by the War Department, and by the committee, have not resulted in placing the Government in possession of all the facts in the case.

It is probable, however, lhat ihe further prosecution of the nvestigation, by the committee and oy ine or- fleers of the Government, will result tinally in a full development of lhe whole transaction. The capture of ibe rebel archives had put the Government in possession of a mass of letters, papers and documents of various kinds, only a portion or wnicn nau, as yei, been examined.

The propositions embrace Insting peuce over the whole continent of Europe. The Tribune's special over the cable, dated Friday nitrht. sav: In the House of Commons on Thursday night Lord Stanly said the Cab- net were anxious to remove any intervention rising out of the cases connected wilh the war between the lNorth and souin. The English Govtrnii'ent intended lo is- ue roval commi.ision to innuire into me' neutrality laws, and if possible revise thfttrt. uiuic ears, were neree ana siuer eutimes.

There is hardly an epithet known to the language which these men have not applied, and often with great truth, to each other. When the war broke out, they found themselves, for tbe first time, oa tbe same side in politics, and turning their combined forces upon the common enemy of the country, they won their way to the beans and tbe confidence of the people. The rebels, during tne war bated both these men. Brocnlow ihey pursued with a vengeful spirit, provuk eu oy nis merciless oeounciatioo and exposure of their villainy and Johnson, because they regarded bim as a traitor to the caus in which be had served during his previous public life. One of these men became President of the United Slates lhe other about the same time, became Governor of Tennessee.

President Johnson, since bis accession, has conquered his rebel enemies by taking them to bis bosom, and by desert' ing the party which kindly oterlouking his previous errors, lifted bun to place, llrown low, on the contrary, has continued where be s.ooa at the beginning, fighting rebellion under the flag of Johnson as vigorously and uncompromisingly as ever be did when Jeff. JJavii was its captain. The result has bee to place these two men in an antagonism as bitter as ever existed at any period of their lives. Since the first of July these two men have- been engaged in a straggle unprecedented in the history of the country. Congress has passed a joint resolution proposing to the Legislatures of the several Slates so amend mem to tbe Consnution.

The President made up his mind lhat amendment should never be ratified. Gov. Brownlow convened the Legislature of Tennessee, and submit ted to them ihe amendment fur ratification or rejection by that body. The President thought he could defeat the measure. requires the presence of two thirds of each bouse of the Legislature to constitute a quo.

rum for the transaction of business. His policy was lo defeat the ratification of the amendment by defeating the presence of a quorum. For this purpose, through his friejids, private secretary and others, he held out to the minority of the House offers of Federal appointment. He nominated sever- 1 of the bolters of a previous session for office he used his patronage, and trafficked and traded more undisguisedly and as cor ruunuiy as ever uia jiuciianan. lie suc ceeded, and for nearly three weeks there was no action by the Legislature, because there was no quorum in the House.

During all this time Brownlow was equally active. The President was stooping from his high position to dictate to a Slate Government what it should not do; he was, by open bribery, seeking to corrupt ihe Legislature and defeat the popular will, and Brownlow treated him and his tools as they deserved He at last had the recusant members arrest ed, and. thus, by an enforced attendance of the President's own tools, secured a quorum and the amendment was duly ratified. Brownlow, as Governor of Tennessee, thus triumphs over the President, and secures a victory for lhe Union, ihe value of whieh, at this time, is incalculable. The struggle has Deen ooe ot deep interest to those concerned in It, and also to lhe whole nation, and lhe result must be as mortifying lo the President as it is gratifying to the Governor.

There is unquestionably a terrible howling among tne unreconstructed rebels in Tennessee. and considerable profanity in the same circles at Washington; bui the act is complete, the victory secured, and the result, so far Teonesse is concerned, final. Brownlow is entitled to crow over Johnson, and he will not fail to improve the opportunity, Chicago iriounu i McClellan in Command of the Austrian Army The strategy of the Austrians show in dubitably that McClellan, and not Benedek, is in command. It has several times been slated that the two were intimate friend: and everything goes lo show that Benedek simply lends his name, while McClelan does the strategy. It is plain to be sepn thai Geo B.

intends to draw the Prussians into the interior of Actstriat where he will "hold them like a vise" until the whole army dies of old age. If anything were needed to confirm this view, would be the language of the othcial bulletin in wmch Benedek an nounces the overwhelming defeat experienc ed attneoaiue or badowa. ASenedek says tbat "for stragetrcal reasons he had conclud ed to withdraw from that position!" Colum bus The French In Mexico. Gen. Sheridan has informed the State Department that France, notwithstanding her promises to evacuate Mexico, rs still ship ping troops to Vera His observations, he states, have convinced bim that France is not sincere in her If these statements are correct, there is a fair prospect for a fight with: France.

The American people have resolutely determined to tolerate no European interferance on this continent. The establishment of an Empire sustained by French bayonets on our frontier would be dangerous to the peace of America, and will not, under any circumstances, be permitted. The doctrine of Monroe is a wholesome faith, and will be sfrongly enforced by our Government. i DIED. TRACT.

We Quakers feel that to be true followers of Christ we should have feelings of sym pathy and compassion for all men.

We feel that Christ died to save sinners not a few chosen ones but all of every race and color and that the poor is on equality with at as regards His love. One thing we do know as staled by the Acts of the Apostles, (acts that one of them, was commanded to go toward Jerusalem in order that be should see an Ethiopian and that he baptized him thu proving thai the African was not deemed unworthy of being called one of God's people. We feel no desire to show partiality to any one, but want to do all we can for those who are in distress and will not stop because his skin is dvrker than ours, even when other peo ple talk about us and shun us. From the first to the last our Church has taken an active purl in the education of the Freedmen, not that they feel lhat the negro is belter than others who may be in worse circumstances of our own race, but because they have been oppressed. Tbey are now compelled to support them selves or perish, and unless God blesses them many will perish.

Feeling lhat without ed ucation or instruction a man can do little work and live a successful life; we feel lhat these people should be educated. Their enemies say they steal and that they will not work, etc. Then it is more urgent lhat ihey should be educated; that true Christian men and women be sent among ihem to enlighten them. Our Church send no others but those who feel it their duly to teach ihem, and I am glad to s.y that they have been succesful to a great extent. Our Church called for volunteers.

I was young, unmarried and was willing to go, and am now here and shall continue till I feel that I can do no more good, when I will leave my place to be filled by one more worthy. If my fellow citizens should not like my acts I can not help it. I shall do what I feel lhat it is God's will I should do, though I had no iarthly friend. As far as scaring is con cerned they can do but little good at it. 1 trust in God and if it is His will I shall be protected by Him.
