'At the request of a lumber of promt

ban of tbe two Count Central Oomit
tan, we give notice that the two conflicting
Committed will meet in conjunction, at
Troy, on Saturday, the 22nd inst., to
take itepa for holding a County Conven
tion. All the members of both Commit
tees are requested to attend.
Since tbera is a disposition manifested
to harmonize, we hope that all Bepubli
aiant in the Connty will countenance and
support this more. It is the last and
only chance to place the party in the old
and smooth track. We have men who
object to every other person's plan, yet
hare none of their own to propose.
They seem to know only how to End
fault. Here is a plan favored by both
wings of the party, as divided last Fall.
All membersof both Committees are earn
eatly invited to co-operate if any neg
lect or refuse, or continue to hang back,
we, for one, propose to recognize those who
show do a disposition to organize, and to
support the movement inaugurated by
them.

to be elected by the next Kansas Legisla

dates. It wonld be ont of place for any
one at this distance lo express preference,
and we have no wish lo do so ; bnt Gen.
Lee has a history which is of interest lo
the genera reader.
He was born in Folton. Oswego Co ,
and graduated at Union College in 1851
His father, Hon. M. Lindley Le, was a
member of tbe Thirty-sixth Congress, and.
has held many pnblic positions in this
8tate. Yonng Lea went to Kansas at an
early day in its history, and became con
spicuous from his devotion to the cause
of Freedom. As an Editor, Jodge, and
Soldier, he has made a manly name.
The first company of the first regiment in
Kansas waa raised largely through his in
fluence. Of the first cavalry regiment
raised in that State, L"e was made the
Mnjor. Those soldiers were known aa the
"Jayhawkera" a name afterwards ap
plied to the other soldiers and citizens of
Kansas generally, from their earnestness
in fighting rebels and traitors wherever
they met them C. R. Jennison was the
Colonel, 'and D R. Anthony, formerly
of this city, the Lieutenant Colonel of
that regiment. When ihey left the ser
vice. Lee donned the eagle, and look his
rongli-riders through the lines of the en
emy inTennessee. Georgia. Alahsma'and
Missisippi. And wherever the Kansas
Jayhawkera went, rebels were whipped
and the shackles fell from the slave. The
rebel prisoners were hronght into camp
nnder gnard of freedmen tbe captives he
coming the captors. Grant and Rose
crans, as well as other Generals, recom
mended Lee's promotion, and it came
In Grant's fights before Vicksbnrg, Gen.
Lee commanded a Division, and in oni
of the charges on the Big Black, rifle
shot went through his head, ne soon
recovered, however, and was in the saddle
again. Gen. Bankt made him Chief of
Cavalry, and he cnmraandel that arm nf
the service in the Rd River Expolition
Gen. Le has remained in the service
nntil recently. He was present, as a cit
izen, at the riots in New Orleans, ant Iii-t
speech describing those terrible scene has
recently been very widely publishpd.
From this brief sketch it will be seen
that Kansas will be entirely Irne to her
heroic history, if she shsll next winter

friends will oppose him, bnt they cannot

At the breaking ont of tbe war, in 18(51.
Gen. Lee was Judge of the 21 Judicial
District of Ibis State. In SeptPmber or
Uctober lie resigned that position, to en
ter the service as Mnjor ot the 7th Kan.
In this he remained nnlil the close nf the
war, hewing ont of the hard confli t a
solid record made up of valiant deeds ;
establishing a reputation for bravery and
skill, and being generally known as the
rough-rider of the south-west. He left
the service with tbe rank of Brig. Gen ,
(having been promoted to that rank not
for political considerations,) on the rec
ommendation of Gen. Grant for merito-rion-
services. How few Kansas officers
were promoted for such canse to General,
In history and ability he far tranxcends

not be surprised if Senator Pomeroy's

cipal and teachers, is laying the founda
tion of a noble work ; and that it has onr
most, hearty sympathy and support.
Another evidence of the usefulness and
enntinned prosperity of thet school, is
fonnd in the fact that the increasing nnm
bor of students has rendered other and
larger buildings than those bow in nse
necessary to its accommodation. The
commodious edifice now building at the
