THE ELECTION".
The election is over ; let u? bury the
hatchet and be friends. Tha Republicans
have carried the day by a-heavy majorty.
Carney is our'Governor. and Wilder our
Congressman. The-former political bis
toryofKansas, has been anything but
pleasant. Her political sea lus been tu
multuous and boisterous-riding atone time
on the seethingnd top-most wave of fa
naticism.' -At another wallowing in the
dirtiest and lovest pit of degredation, by
the perfidy of her former State officers.
The rights of the citizen have been cur
tailed, by these perjured hounds of hell.
Zeeclies, thieves, they are, and.' well de
serve the rebuke tnehaveteccive',d at the
hands of an outraged and injured people.
With a firm reliance in theenor and in
tegrity of theiinen'whom we have chosen
to administer'aur State, we believe that no
more such scenes as that of the Meredc
cine Massacre, and others as horrible will
ever agajp'taint fhe free air of Kansas.
i Carney saved our credit as a State, and
we as a people' have but shown him our
gratitude by electinghim Governor. J

last month. Yet a few partiujars may not
be nninteresunr.
There is a strip of land between the
Marias des Cygnes, and a long conneeting
slough, kuown as "The Island." This
has long been infested with more or less
bushwhackers, who have carried all their
plunder olf to it for safe-keeplng. Lately
they had 'been increasing in s'rength and
boldness, until! they badbecome the ter

Accordingly about the25thof last month
Col. Seaman wos-ordered wiih about one
hundred men to proceed to the Island. He
was joined by about 150 men, under Cap.
Ward, (Commanding in the abscence of
Col. Williams), and acting in ' concert,
they moved down to this point, where they
stopped within'aboutthreo miles ef the
Island and in sight oflhe enemy.
About two hundred and fifty of our
Regiment yere left at Camp Lincoln, my
self among the number. The day after
the epeditiaa left, we received a dispatch
fram Capt. Ward, calling for reinforce
ments. With three rounds of amunition
each, (all e had in camp), we started for
thesctno of action a little over one hun

after the first Jire, had to report to the
bayonet, which proved very affective. The
outers were armed with revolvers and sa

Lieut. Gaardner, who was among the firs!
number to fall, and consequently did net
getnany shots at the enemy. Capt. Crew
was called upon to surrender : he brave

had determined to prefer death rather

the mean time most of the available men

Armstrong and Lieut. "Thrasher.' They

it oiMcuit to save the wounded alone, and
consequently scorching the body of gome

The whole forceof the enemy was com

the South east, leaving some valua We hor
