Kansas, October 17, 1863. J
Dear Journal: Just as the mail is
; closing this evening, I happen to think
; of a rash promise made you in your
sanctum, to write you an occasional let
j ter from Kansas. We have been for sev
i eral days past in a fever of excitement.
; Rumors of rebel depredations come to
us from every quarter; but, happily for us,

dents connected with this would certainly
make him.
Blunt started from Fort Scott with
one company of the Kansas 14th, and
part of a company of a Wisconsin regi
ment. He was also accompanied by a
number of his best scouts, citizens,
clerks, &c. and last but not least, his
band wagon. There is no doubt but that
Quantrell knew the exact moment he
! left Fort Scott, and watched along the
; whole route for an opportunity to strike.
I That opportunity did not offer until he
! reached within a few miles of Baxter's
P"ngs, a sort of half-way house be-

When Gen. Blunt's fnrop harl
j within a few miles of that Post, a body of
i i . . i j j i
tucu, iiuuui iwu uuuureu in numoer, were
seen approaching from the direction of
Baxter's Springs, a large portion of them
were dressed in blue coats, and all had
white felt hats, which was the main dis
tinction between them and our troops.
They were at once supposed to be the
troops from the post coming to escort in
the General.
The General was driving a spanking
team of cream colored horses, but call
ing up his darkey, who was riding the
General's horse, he dismounted him,
and placed hi m in the carriage, himself
mounting the horse, prepared to conduct
the ceremonies. He ordered the band
wagon to the front, drew his men in line
and thus moved forward, the band dis
coursing sweet music. The other party
also drew up in line of battle, and mov
ed forward, when they had advanced to
within four hundred yards of the party
front the direction of the Post, fired a
volley, and even then it was supposed to
be only a salute, though some of the
boys remarked that they fired mighty
careless as some of the horses were hit
By this time the General began to think

censure for his want of vigilance.
After a severe struggle the enemy
were repulsed, and they then sent into
the post Green Todd (one of the most
infamous scoundrels that ever went un
hung) with a flag of truce, asking for an
exchange of prisoners, which was com
plied with. He stated that Maj. Curtis
was a prisoner and should be kindly
treated, but even then the brave Major,
than whom a nobler man or braver sol
dier never lived, hadjjeen cruelly mur

brave Maj. Farr. Gen. Blunt lost about
seventy-eight men, most of whom were
murdered after having surrendered. All
the musicians were shot in their seats,

Col. Charles Denby Dear Sir: The
undersigned having been appointed for
the purpose by an order of the Vander
burgh Circuit Court, do hereby request
you to furnish to us for publication a
copy of the Eulogy upon the life and
character of Lieutenant Colonel James
M. Shanklin, deceased, pronounced by
you on presenting the resolutions adopt

Very respectfully,

Evansville, Oct. 26, 1863.
Messrs. John J. Chandler, James E.
Blythe, and Morris S. Johnson Gen
tlemen: I received your communication
informing me that, on motion in the Cir
cuit Court, you had been appointed a
committee to request for publication a
copy of my remarks made on the occa
sion of presenting the resolutions adopt
ed by the Bar touching the death of
Lieutenant Colonel James M. Shanklin,
and in pursuance thoreof requesting a
copy of the remarks. I hand you, here
with, a copy as exact as I can make it
from memory. Permit m, gentlemen,
to return to you personally my thanks
for the courteous manner in which you
have discharged the duty imposed on
you by the Court, and also to express my
rerets that my remarks are so little
worthy of the occasion.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Charles Denby.

' on the twenty-fifth day of May 18G3 the
rvetoiuuons, wnicn i now liana to the
(Jler.V, were unanimously adopted, and I
was appointed by the Chairman to pre
sent them to this Court, and to ask, in
the name of the Bar, that they be spread
of Record. I now request the Clerk to
read tne Resolutions:
(The following Resolutions were then
reaa oy tne t-iers.
Resolved. That in PAmmnn with iha
army and the community we deeply re
gret the death of Lieut Col. James M.
Shanklin. At this Bar he won his first
reputation, he gave earnest of his re
markable tatents ; here he gave token of
great future usefulness and promise of
rare distinction. The Bar gave him to
his country and fresh from professional
honors he won military fame.
His record as a lawyer is no less hon
oroble than his reputation as a soldier is
brillinnt, and to both he added the glory
of the patriot "We regret the dead hero,
we regret the departed advocate whose
eloquence we shall hear uo more, but
most of all regret the loving and beloved
friend.
Rosobeed, That the members of the
Bar attend the funeral in a body.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
presented to the Circuit Court and the
Court of Common Please, by gentlemen
appointed by the Chair, and that they
move the ' Courts, respectively to have
them entered of record.
Resolved, That we tender to the fami
ly of the deceased our warmest sympa
thies for the loss they have sustained in
the death of an iu8band and father, as
well as that "of a beloved son, and sin
cerely condole with them in this sad and
sudden bereavnient.
Resolved, That the Secretary be in
instructed to hand a copy of these pro
ceedings to each of the city papers for
publication, and that a copy he handed
to the family of the deceased.

Court, and asks its concurrence in this
last tribute of respect to the memory of
respected ana oeioved brother
The tribute is on this occasion, the
more appropriate, because Lieut. Col.
James M. Shanklin was, for several
years before bis appointment in the army
the Prosecuting Attorney of this Court.
These walls, sir, are yet vocal with the el-
oquence of this remarkable man, who hile

hirrh official position and !ort himself so
well that all did honor to his talents and
and his zeal, It is not necessary, your
Honor, that I should enter into a search
ing analysisjof his characteristics as a law
yer. Our profession is a jealour mistrejP
and demands many years of practice and
study before she crowns her devotees
with the high reputation of the great
lawyer. The edifice of a great lawyer's
fame is built of heavy blocks of granite,
requiring years of labor and of applica-
i tion.
Lieut Col. Shanklin had done
much during the few years that he was
at the Bar. He had impressed us all
with respect for his talents, ?-ud every
person familiar with his course and con
duct prophesied for him a name and rep
utation as a lawyer. We remember, sir,
that we, and the Grand Juries whom he
advised, were astonished at the facility
with which he seemed to have mastered
the most intricate principles of criminal
law. He was remarkably quick, ener
getic and zealous, and was possessed of
a power of illustration and a fluency of

after. Entnrincr the armr from Mvil
life, he was too proud and too ambitious
to remain ignorant of any of his duties.
He quickly and perfectly mastered the
tactics, and all the collateral branches,
which go to make the scientific officer.
Hi bearing, sir, in the camp was that of
il . 1 .1 .11 . 1 . M . 1

hero. He minted tnr distinction and an
honorable name on the annals of the
history that we are daily making. He
was a patriot, sir, devoted to the I ederal
Union, and anxious, above all things, for
, us preservation.
In his private character, as a citizen
i and a man, he was irreproachable. No
man ever accused him of the taint of a
mean action. In times of the highest
polical excitement he bore himself gal
lantly and proudly in the strife, and he
passed through that fire of analysis and
criticism through which our popular
institutions make it necessary that pub
lic men should pass unscorched and
unscathed.
He was a noted popular orator, sir.
He had that gift of eloquence which
stirs all hearts. His manner and lan
guage were peculiarly captivating. His
rhetoric and his imagery were gorgeous
his style brilliant. Had be lived be
would have become one of the great ex
emplars of that style of oratory upon
which so much of the reputation of
Clay and S. S. Prentiss rests. Had he
returned to his home at the close of the
war, wearing the laurel wreath which
victorious soldiers wear, he would have
received any rewards at the hands of a
greatful people. An all-wise Provi
dence has willed otherwise. He does
not sleep on the battle-field which
111. shsss
uis courage neipea to win. He
did not die, as he would have j
preferred to die, beneath the folds of that
glorious flag which he was seeking to
preserve irom aismemoerment; hut at
home, as suddenly almost as if by the
bullet of the foe, he was stricken down
by a quick and terrible disease. He
sleeps beneath the turf of our own quiet
cemetery, and there rests not, still from
its beating, beneath all that sod, a purer,
braver or more loving heart!
How appropriate, sir, the beautiful
lines of the poet Collins, and with their
quotation I shall have concluded the dis
charge of the duty confided to me by
this honorable Bar:
" How sleep tlio brave who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes bleat!
Whon Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to derk their hallowed monk.,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod,
Tban Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy bands their knell is rnng,
By forms nnseen their dirge is sung.
There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray.
To bless the tnrf .hat wraps thsirclay.
And Freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell a weeping hermit there."
