The Cnlo Hereof the Border Starts.
The cruel and fatal policy of President
Johnson is producing its natural fruits i:i
tho Border States. Under tho lead of
such desperate men as the JJfairs in Ma
ryland, tho Bramlcites and the Burnetts
in Kentucky, and the "Clnybanks" and
Conservatives iu Missouri, the hcruie and
long luffcrin Unionists of the Border
aro to be subjected to the horrors of u
new rebellion. Tor il mint not be for
gotten tbat in all tlii-c Stnto.', and pirti
cularly in Man land, West Virginia, Tun-
nessee, and" Missouri, tlicio aro friends of
the country with opinions nnd feelings as
radical as any in the Northern State.
These Radicals have held their position
through the rebellion with tho aid of the
directive restrictions which prevented the
rctels from coming back and out voting
ihem. and they hnvo sustained the Nat
ional Govfrniiicnt with rare fidelity and
vigor Fighting for tho old flag in the
field, and holding up the National auth
ority at the ballot-box, tlicy have proved
to be true conservators of ibc prosperity
of their own Slates, nnd the powerful
champions of the Union cause. Against
them, however, moro even than against
the Yankees, the lualigni'y of the seces
sionists and traitors have been awakened
and organized. As the latter come buck
from their Colds of blood and carnage,
and insist upou restoration to thu rights

they shout for "the policy" of Andrew
Johnson, and with the help of his patro
nage coolly proceed to make arrange
ments to oust the earnest I'liku men,
and to icsuuio that merciless ascendancy
which almost pushed these States into re
bellion, and to check which the National
Government sacrititcd thousands of lives
and millions of motley. All these earn
est and radical border State men aro tho
defiant opponents of Andrew Johnson's
movement for tho rehabilitation of the
iusurgent States. They ceo and accept
their obligations with a ''stern joy" when
tl ey behold the returned traitors- rally

more cxtraordiuary spectacle never was
witnessed to find thu men in the border
States, who, v?y to the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln, hailed Andrew John

persecuted by this eutue man, who, bv a
uiugular metamorphosis, U suddenly

A Bold Robbery.
A most daring robbery was committed
near Lccompton on Saturday night.
About uino o'clock in the evening a man
came to the house of Dennis Leech, about
six miles from Lccompton, and stated
that bis son had got stalled in the bottom,
and asked Mr. Leech to take his team
and help him out. Mr. L. suspected tjjat
all was not right from the manner and
conversation of the man, but after some
minutes conversation, (topped to tho door
wuu iiiu wan, wiitn ne uiscovereu anotn
er man standing by tho door, who instant
ly seized hi t by the throat. Mr. Leech
struok at ttu robber, and, in dealing him
a heavy blow on the head, unfortunatelv
found his finger in tho mans mouth, who
pulled nearly all tho skin and flesh from
tho finger with his teeth. The other
scoundrel at onco commenced dealing
blows upon Mr, Leech. Tho struggle
between the three men lasted for several
minutes, during which the ruffians suc
ceeded in getting Mr. Leech, who is an
old man of 76 years of age. but of great
physical strength and pluck, out as far
as the gate, when the old mau asked thsm
what they wanted, and told them they
had done about all tho personal injury
they could. They told him they wanted
his money. He told bis wifo to go in
tho house and bring out what money he
had, which amounted to 81,000 mostly
in gold.
The robbers at once took the money
and fled to tho woods. The neighbors
wcro soon aroused and started in pursuit,
and learned tbat there were four men in
the party, on horseback, two of whom
started towards Topeka, and the other
two went in tho direction of tho Waka
