The 4th was celebrated by the patriotic citizens of Shawnee celebrated in an appropriate manner in a good old fashioned style. All classes and colors participated in rendering homage to the day, the cause and the deed which delivered this Republic from the travails of an eight years bitter war, breathed into its notrils the pure breath of Republicanism, and rocked the infant in the cradle of civil and religious liberty. Ours was a Sabbath School Celebration pleasant, sociable, free from whiskey patriotism, fights, partizan digs and insinuations. The children of the various schools in attendance, accompanied by their teachers, marched from town to the grove, in regular procession and taken all in all, with flags, banners, robes of spotless white, vaiiegated with trimmings of the red, white and blue, they presented a truly fine appearance. The grounds were well chosen the dinner ample, wel arranged and good.

And the speaking. The reverential by Revs. Steele and Preston, the moral-patriotic by Revs. MeVicar, Paulson and A 1 ward the political-patriotic by Messrs. Otis and Gilchrist Declaration of Independence, with appropriate remaiks, by the former, Oration by the latter.

The oration was able and impressive with eloquent appeals to the virtuous and philanthropic patriotism of the people. The speaking was good and the day well spent. The old Buena Vista spoke in thunder tones, till the glass waie literally rattled in every portion of the cry. The whole wound up with the usual fire works in the evening and a dance, at which the beauty and chivalry of the Capital met and prolonged the festivities of the occasion.

M.yor. (From the Emporia News.) Stand by the old Flag. The last effort of those who. would force the Republican party into an alliance with the abettors of treason, consists in representing that if a straight Republican State Ticket is run it will surely be beaten I And this is the last and only remaing argument for a fusion of all the odds and ends of creation, in order that Ross, Fletcher may, by hook or crook, get into the public treasury for term of years. Now, this kind of argument dont convince us a bit.

Wc iegard Kansas as one of the most reliable Republican States in Union'. And if this were not so, shall we sell ourselves to a set of political shysters to avoid being beaten I If in the mysterious Providence of God, the Re publican party is to go down, let it be with banners fiyiDg. The triumph of that party and the results flowing from it, will make one of the brightest pages in the history of the American people, and we don't want history to record on the next page, that the people shrank from that triumph and its inevitable logic. When ever it is demonstrated that the Republican party cannot or will not nominate a ticket composed of straightforward, honest, faithful and capable men, then we seek elsewhere for such a ticket. Until that time we propose to Stand by the Old Flag.

It is our firm belief that this craving desire for Union, with somebody or everybody, arises from a fear that the Republican party will he true to itself, and discarding ail personal and local considerations, and looking only to the triumph of its principles, and an honest, capable administration of State aff.irirs, will put in nomination the best men in its ranks, throwing aside at once, and forever, the thieves and plurders that have been hanging on its skirts. Can it be an honest motive that actuates Crawford in his desire for Union 1 Who does not remember his recommendations to the people of Southern Kansas in 1858, to vote the Democratic ticket for fear that otherwise they would not get grants of land for railroads how he urged, entreated, and tried to bully them into that fawning, hek-spittie subseviency to the South, which actuated himself? Can it bo an honest motive that actuates Ross and Fletcher, of the Topeka Record Ross, the chief of the Public Printing swindles of the last two years, and Fletcher, purveyor and whipper-in of a eonupt combination, whose business was to defeat measures of advantage to the people before the Legislature, and failing in that, to steal the laws fieia the Secretarys office Brethren of the Republican party, be not dismayed at the bowlings and revihngs of these men! They are but as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal If wc have enough liberty-loving, honest, capable men in the party to fill the State Offices, lets nominate them, without begging anybodys pardon, or being frightened with the cry of wolf. And if the people of Kansas feel that the stealings of Stevens, Robinson, Ross should he laid at our door, why let us go down With our back to the earth And our feet the foe. and not belly down, like a piece of pumpkin pie on a dirty floor, as these sneaks would have us The Manhattan Express in an able article on office seeking and office seekers closes in this wise If the State would retain its honor anh prosperity, the public inust scrutinize the character and pretentions of those who seek its suffrage. Let the people avoid those who deal in intrigue, who trade and bargain for each others influence and support, as they would contagious rottenness.

artillery and infantry then came steadily along over the bridge to the field of The enemy 'then seemed to make their last desperate and determined stand and came on, forcing our men back into the low ground between the hill and the bridge where they could have been slaughtered by tens of thousands before they could have crossed that long narrow bridge. Wagons, artillery, ambulances and men were hurrying towards the bridge and a panic was almost inevitable, when a strong guard was placed across the bridge at the same time when the enemy had almost reached the main hospital half a mile from the river, Thomas Francis Meaghers Irishmen came over the hill stripped to the bare arms, and were ordered to go in. They gave a yel and went to woik, and the result was the enemy fell back to the woods and thu3 matters stood up to ten oclock yesterday, Sunday morning. At dark an attack was made along the front of the entire line, and was renewed at 2 a. in front of Gens.

Hooker, Kearney and Sumner, without material result. Another correspondent says of Fridays battle Twice all along the front did the rebels attack our lines, our rifle pits and our redoubts. Porter with fifty cannon, and Sumners, Hookers and Ayres guns mowed them down with a death harvest. Their loss in killed and wounded was hoirible. Under date of Friday, midnight, the same correspondent sajs ten guns were taken from us by a sudden flank attack covered by the thick smoke which hung around.

Count De I aria captured a rebel Major who belonged to Jacksons army. He said he hal been in the valley of the Shenandoah all winter, and came here yesterday with part of Jacksons army. 'i he rest of it arrived this morning, and the whole of it was here, lie said that in the attack on our right the rebels had from 60,000 to 8 troops. This will explain the enormous fire under which our men were borr.e down and swept away at the Seven Pmes. Yesterday the Pennsylvania reserve drove the attacking regiments of Jacksons command, to-day they were overpowered by the same troops reinforced.

Sykes regulars were called up and proved ur.equal to the task of stopping them, and Slocums command was added to them. The Count De Paris testifies to the remarkably good conduct of all the regiments that sustained this unequal attack on Porter. They gave way, indeed, but not one ct them ran. Their losses are enormous. The 11th regular infantry was about annihilated.

Neatly every officer in it is killed or Wounded. The 14th also suffered severely. Major of the regulars, a kinsman of Gen. McClellan, is killed. Col.

Pratt, of a New York regiment, is also killed, and Lieut. Cols. Black and Switzer. Our loss is verv maiked indeed. The disproportion in numbers was so extraoi dinary and the obstinacy of our troops so unyielding that our losses were incvitaoly large.

The artillery in both Porters and Smiths Divisions phed the rebels in heaps. The fire was terribly effective. Items from Uie Santa Fc (JT. Republican. Otro Hombre On the morning after the thunder shower the poens of ilis Excellency Gov.

The Tribune has issued an extra, dated battlefield, giving an account of two days deliberate fighting.

A company of Bucktails was surrounded and captured. A severe and most determined battle was fought on the right wing on Friday and Saturday, which is cl.iim-ed by some of our officers as a successful strategic movement, into which the enemy hud unwillingly been drawn, and which will soon result in the capture of Richmond and the entire rebel army. The attack was made by the enemy in immense force, who crossed the Chickahominy near the- railroad, above Mechanicsville, Thursday afternoon. They fought desperately, but were unable to drive our men a single rod, though they outnumbered us ten to one. The only forces engaged that day was Gen.

McCalls division. The battle lasted from two till nine, p. when the division was ordered back. Gen. McClellan was on the field, and expressed himself satisfied with the result.

Washington, June 29. Special. to the N. Y. Tribune: The question of the validity of the acceptances by Floyd of drafts of Russell, Majors ana Waddell have been referred to the Attorney General by the Secretary of War.

That officer has delivered an elaborate opinion against their validity, holding, among other things, that the acceptance of drafts on a contract by the Secretary of War, in advance of the earning of the money against which the drafts are drawn, i3 unauthorized by the law. Washington, June 29. The city is full of exciting rumors of severe fighting near Richmond, and believed, but no reliable inte ligence concerning them has transpired. Later Thursday about noon the enemy made an attack upon Genera! Stonemans forces in the vicinity of Hanover Court House, probably for the purpose of accomplishing an outflanking movement on the right, and to engage attention in that direction. Shortly afterwards they commenced a vigorous cannonading from their works on an eminence opposite Mechanicsville, about one and a half miles distant also from two batteries one above and the other below.

They were replied to by Campbells Pennsylvania battery on picket duty, one on the Mechanicsville road and another from behind earthworks at the right of the grove. About two oclock in the afternoon the enemys infantry and squadrons of Cavalry crossed the Chickahominy in immense forces a short distance above the Virginia Central Railroad, making a rapid advance McCalls division, who was entrenched on a hilly woodland across a swampy ravine, about a mile in the rear of Mechanics-vile. The 1st Pennsylvania rifles, Bucktai's, ond Campbells Pennsylvania battery, were on picket duty, ail of whom, except one company, fell back behind the breast works and rifle pits, where a line of battle was drawn up. Compony of the Buck-tails who were on picket duty beyond the raihead were surrounded by the enemy, and the last known of them they were trying to cut their wny through. It is presumed the greater portion of them is taken prisoners.

The enemy advanced down at the rear of Mechanic-ville, on a low, marshy ground, to where our forces were drawn up behind rifle pits and earthworks, on the Northerly side of the ravine, when the conflict became most terrible. The rebels, with the most determined courage, attempted to pass forward, over miry ground, but the bullets and grape Bhot fell among them like hail, mowing them down. This continued until dark, when they withdrew. The cannonading was kept up on both sides until nine when the battle ceased. Our forces were covered by earthworks, and suffered but slightly.

Late in the afternoon the enemy made a charge with cavalry. About a hundred of them came rushing down and attempted to cross the ravine, mired a squadron of our cavalry seeing their position made a charge down the hill when the cavalry men abandoned their horses and fled. The infantry fight was then renewed and according to the statement of my informant, Surgeon Humphrey of the Pennsylvania Bucktail Regiment, continued until about 2 oclock, a. when a retreat was ordered very much against the will of the Pennsylvania boys who begged to be allowed to hold their position. The entire forces then began to fall back.

Porters corps were some distance below Dr. Gaines residence. Of the next days battle the correspondent says the cannonading and musketry was terrific. Duryeas gallant Zouaves were lying upon the ground for two hours while our batteries were shelling the woods near them. Finally towards night the enemy attempted to break the centre line in front of Duryeas Zouaves, and the musketry firing became terrific, lasting 20 or 20 minutes.

Shortly afterwards an attempt was made to break through the right, which was repulsed, and half an hour afterwards another attempt was made on the left with the same result. The battle had then been raging for some hours without any apparent change or advantage on either side. Reinforcements of Salt Lake, June 30. Saturday afternoon Indians attacked Lieut. Glenns party of eighteen men near Rocky Ridge.

Two whites and one Indian were killed. It is supposed they cut the telegraph line the same afternoon. Indians were seen along the road from Pacific Springs to Sweet Water. Col. Collins says they are Sioux and Cheynness and number about 400.

He could not cross the Sweet Water to follow. The stage has stopped for the present. Indians are seen lurking on the hills about Pacific Springs. Sweet Water Bridge, July 1. The Indians are again troublesome, cutting the line between here and Pacific Springs, faster than it can be mended.

Troops start to-night in pursuit: They are supposed to be a war party of Sioux, numbering 480. Fort Monroe, July 1. A gun boat bas just arrived here from the scene of action yesterday, ten miles above City Point. That uivision of our army bas been fighting four days, and has retreated about seventeen miles. The fight of yesterday was most terrific, the enemy having two to one.

The battle commenced with our land forces, and after about four hours fighting, our gun boats got in range, and poured into the rebels a heavy and incessant fire. This fire tho rebels stood about two hours, and then retreated. Our troops have captured, notwithstanding their disadvantage, a large number of artillery pieces and two thousand prisoners, among whom is the rebel General Magruder. The place where the last action took place is near Turkey Creek. The retreat of the enemy last evening was with great disorder, and their loss has been very heavy, much greater, it is thought, than ours.

Still, 1 have nothing definite in regard to losses. In the retreat forced upon General McClellan by the superior numbers of the enemy, I learn that he had to spike his siege guns, and leave them on the fieU, after burning the carriages, the nature of the ground rendering it impossible to move them. In the retreat many of our sick and wounded were necessarily left behind. There are, of course, innumerable reports and rumors here, but I send only what appears to be authentic. New York July 3d.

The Times has detailed reports of the battle of Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from which it appears that the right wing of our army, about men was attacked on Friday by a rebel force of not less than 50,000, after a gallant fight our trrops crossed the Chickahominy in order. On Saturday night and Sunday our whole left wing under' Heintzleman and Summer fell back along the line of the railroad and the Williamsburg road, and marched to the James rives. The rebels crossed the Chickahominy in great rorce last Sunday, reaching the railroad, but made no pursuit remaining, however, in possession of the ground previously occupied, by our troops on both sides of the Chickahominy, including the bridges am earthworks we had arected against their approach. All our stores were withdrawn in good order with much loss of course. There was tremendous fighting during thesg movements and heavy loss on both sides.

We give in our telegraphic all that we can gather with regard to the recent battle before Richmond. We hardlv know what conclusions to draw from the reports we have, or what to say concerning that which we do know to be truth to be actual, ugly, incontrovertible facts in the case. Our army, once within three miles of Richmond, and ju3t on the point of shelling the city, have been forced back, with terrible loss, a distance of thirty miles. The loss is great upon both sides, with the odds undoubtedly against us. We are beaten this time there is no disguising the fast but it will only incite our men to more vigorous action and our Generals to clearer foresight and tetter judgement in the immediate future.

AY trust this is the last time we are to see our men cut down and fleeing Lecausc of their fearful disadvantage in point of number. It is reported that the President will at once issue a call for two hundred thousand more volunteers. We have just been informed that Judge I. A. Baker was killed, on last Thursday, at bis residence on 142 creek, by a party of marauders calling themselves Quantrells Band.

Also, th this party had been plundering along the Santa Fe road and at Council Grove. Night before last they encamped near Wilmington. We give the 3tory for what it is worth The Republican is the name of a new administration paper just started at Santa Fe, New Putnam OBrien. It is printed in Spanish and English, at 2,50 per year Snch a journal has long been needed in that country, as an official paper, published at the capital of New Mexico, is regarded by the natives as a reflex of the principles and policy of the administration, if not of the Government itself, and exerts a great influence in that Territory. The old Gazette was a most wretched affair, controlled by the money or threats of every proslavery nabob and military scape grace that came along.

New Mexico can be made something of, and we hope for better things for her. Rich in minerals, unsurpassed as a stock eountry, abundance of water power with her ledges of lime stone, and forests of pine, she may yet take her place as one of the worthiest of the sisterhood, of States. Agricultural Society. Wc would call the attention of th citizens of this county to the notice of a meeting of the Shawnee Agricultural Society, to be found in our columns. It is the intention of the officers and members of this society to reorganize and make it a live concern.

This Society was organized in and arrangements were made for a Fair that year, but the great and unprecedent drought put a stop to all proceeding. It is now the intention to prepare for a Fair the coming Fall. We hope the citizens of Shawnee, seeing the necessity of an efficient Agricultural Society will take bold of this matter with a right good will and make Shawnee as it can well be made, the star county of the State, in all matters pertaining to Agricultural, Horticulture, Pomology, and stock growing. Remember the time of meeting, July 12th 2 P. M.

Emporia JMncs. The Sulnts in a Row. The Saints are getting rebellious, and it seems a number of them are desirous of seceding from the rule of Brigham Young. A party numbering about one thousand, men, women and children, under the leadership of a man named Morris, formed a settlement about thirty miles north of the city, ignoring labor and trusting to the Lord to supply their wants. They exhibited their confidence in this means of support by stealing from the citizens of Salt Lake, and committing other depredations upon the property of people in the vicinity.

Three of the new colony becoming disgusted with the imposition, and believing Moiris to be pretty much of a humbug, attempted to exercise individually the right of secession, hut the prophets and chief priests of the ccmnOiity objecting, the three were arrested, placed in confinement and heavily ironed. To effect their release, a writ of habeas corpus was issued' by the Chief Justice of the Territory, which wa3 treated with contempt. Sufficient time having elapsed for the production of the prisoners, a secoi writ, together with an order for the arrest of the leaders of the gang for false imprisonment, was issued for execution there. A posse of two hundred infantry and artillery were ordered out on the 11th, by acting Governor Fuller. Morris and his men were found strongly entrenched, and fighting ensued.

Two of the Marshalls posse were killed. On the 15th the rebels pretended to surrender, but resisted anew as soon as the attacking party approached. In a hand to hand fight Morris was killed. Another leader was mortally wounded. The rebels were fina.ly overcome.

Stveral women and children were killed during the siege the Morrisites refusing to remove them to a place of safety. The prisoners captured number one hundred and forty-seven, and were to have been brought before the Court on the 25th for trial. Leav. Times.
