A corn pa no near ihe rear of the columns Suddenly wheeled and dis charged their rifles, aiming chiefly at the windows of the jecorders court room and second 6tory adjoining, killing four citi zens and mortally wounding two, slightly injuring one. Statements regarding the cause of the firing are very correcting, one being thai a pistol shot fired from the window of thchousijon the corner of7th and Locust st. took effect in the shoulder of one of thd captains when he gave word to fire. Another that a toldier accident ly discharged his rifle in ranks at which the whole company became frightened and discharged a fully volley at the crowds on the sidewalks and all the windows of the hoeses. Recorder's court was in ses sion, crowded with prisoners and specta tors. Police officer Pratt was shot in the ?ide and died in ten moments.' Deputy Marshall Frango received three balls in his legs.

The rebels are evidently landing large bodies of troops at a point seven miles above A Tews on the same side of the river. Steamers com? down the river daily, an attack from that quarter is an ticipated. The experiment with Sawyers Ameri can rifled cannon at Rip Raps last even ing was a brilliant success. Sewell's point is clearly in range of the guns, 7 out of 11 forty-eight pound shells ex ploded within a short distance of the rebel camp and one of them over their intrenchments. ,Ii created a sensation among the secessionists.

The Herald's Washington special of the lth says, there are flying rumors to night of a fight between one of the Ohio regiments and a band of rebels near ienna on the London R.

The enemy has been on the bridge two miles from Seneca Mtlls, which crosses a branch of the Potomac river which the federal troops must march ia advance across the river.

Tlie Volunteers on the way and at . ... Omalia. Thursday night last the Nemaha coun ty Volunteers took passage on the steam er Omaha for the point of rendezvous at Omaha city. Theywero scorte'd to the boat 3 y Capt. Hewetl's Home Guards, and hundreds others of our citizens. As the boat shoved off the brave boys were given nine loud and lonj cheers. At Peru in this county we were joined by a portico of the company, residents at that point. At Nebraska city Capt. Black ttt's and Capt. Botdsto-i's companies of infantry, and Capt Cornell's flying artillery came aboard also, on their way to Omaha, This acquisition completed a jammed steam boat load of as jolly, wholesouled and brave sett of men as ever handled a sword or shouldered a musket. Of course that 44 good time coming" arrived and stayed w ith the boys on their way to Omaha. Not aa unpleasant occurrence took place dur ing the whole trip. Arriving at Omaha about 10 o'clock Friday night the new recruits were met at the landing by com panies A. and B., already mustered into service, and by them escorted to the Herndon House where they were com fortably quartered in ihe spacious dining room of that Hotel. The next morning the Nemaha Com pany was sworn in by Capt. Mtrbill of the United States Army, sent there for the purpose of mustering the Nebraska Regiment into service. Our company being the third received into the ser vice, is numbered, or ranked company C. The evening of the same day Captain Blacker's company was mustered in and stands as company D. Capt. Boydston's company noi being full was net mustered in when we left Tuesday morning. The universal verdict was that Capt. Thompson's company was decidely the finest looking one on the ground. We need not say here where they are all well and personally known, that when the lime for action comes they will fully sustaiu the henor and credit of the coun ty from which they hail. We left the boys comfortably quartered and ia the best of spirits, " eager fcr the fray. acter, firm as a rock, and brave as a lien. D. E. Lows of Omaha has been ap pointed Surgeon. The Doctor has perhaps no superior a. to proficiency as a medi cal man. He has also the benefit of many years experience in the West, well acquainted therefore with all the diseases peculiar thereto. Gro. E. Sjesci for some time past the efficient private Secretary c! Gov. Saunders, has been selected ty ihe Regi mental Officers as Sutler. Mr. Spencer is in c vory way worthy and well qualified fcr the position, and for many reasons we might mention, his appointment under all the circumstances, was peculiarly fortun ate, so far as the soldiers are concerned. Lieut. A. F. M'Kikv'ey of Plattsmouth is appointed Adjutant and acting Com missary. Sergeant W. S. Whittes has been as. signed the position of temporary Sergeant Major. Sergeant Jour Gillispie of Peru, Assistant Quarter-master, and Sergeant Charles Smith, Commissary Sergeant. Tne Rebels and. the Western Indians. The rebels seem determined that at least no effort shall te spared to carry out ihe threats made some months ago, that they could and would control and have in their armies all the Western In dians, from Arkansas to the Yellow Stone. Hon. S. A. Chambers, Farmer for the Otoes and Missouries, was here this week and informs us thai the traitors are yet at work endeavoring to create a dis loyal disposition amoug the Indians west of us. The .Kaws, Sacs and Foxes, Otoes and Missourias, and Pawnees have been earnestly solicited by the Cherokees to meet them in grand council immediate ly. Delegations have gone from the tribes above mentioned. As the Cherokees are already enlisted with the rebels, it is but reasonable to suppose, for various other reasons, given by those well ac quainted, that the conference is for the purpose" "of enlisting in ihe rebel army, the Indians west of us. . The agents of -these tribes should keep t a close watch upon strangers, white man or Indian found prowling around the vil liages, and if they cannot give a satisfac tory account of themselves, swing them up! The settlers too, should keep a sharp lookout after the Indians, and the first move they make, either against the inhabitants, or evento leave, they must be exterminated speedily. These are stirring times, and child's play will not do. No thing but prompt decisive measures will answer. The Nebraska Regiment of Volunteers or at least the greater portion of it ought at the earliest possible moment to besa tioned in the Southern part of ihe Territory.- Whatever troubles Nebraska may have from any source, will be the southern portion, and the sooner the proper steps are taken for its protection, the better it will be. If promptly and properly guard ed; we may escape any serious troubles. We respectfully yet earnestly call tue at tention of the powers that be to this mat ter, and hope our appeal will not be disregarded. to do wiih it, beyond enabling us to rouse our people. If Mr. Douglas had been elect. J, we should hare broken up the Union just as seen. If Mr. Bell had been elected it would have delayed us bui very little. Even if Mr. Breckinridge had been elected, -we would have seceded before ihe close cf his term. We be lieve that ihere is an essential incompati bility between the Norih and the South. The North, he continued, has grown ricA and powerful, and extended from ocean to ocean, tchile the SoiJh has comparative ly stood still.1 This seemed to tc the fundamental grievance in his mind ; and though a man of remarkably literal views in general, he did cot pppear to have the faintest suspicion thai slavery had any thing to do with the decadence if the South, or freedom with the gigantic strides of the North. His was a repre sentative view. Individual ambiticn has no doubt had us infiueuce with the lead ers, but the kfty-note to their complaints is, The North has grown rich and pow erful at the expense of the South.' " Mr. Richardson in the same letter sates that w hile the negroes do not exactly com prehend the war movements, ihey know that it is something that concerns them more than any body else, and that they are consequently restive. The burning of the eleven steamboats at New Orleans, whereby 250,000, instead of S 100,000 worth of property, as reported by the N. Orleans papers, was destroyed, has been traced to slaves.

We have several letters before us from friends and others in the eastern States who design coming west, making enquiries as to travelling through Missouri ; wheth er it is safe for northern men to do so, and whether the river and Rail Roads are unobstructed. f Our latest reports are that the bridges on the Pacific and North Missouri have been destroyed by the rebels, and that the river is blockaded at Boonville by Jackson, the rebel Governor of Missouri. The Han. & St. Joe R. R." is yet open, and is now in. the hands cf the U. S. Government. It may, however, be rend ered impassable any moment.

Desver City, Col. Ter. .May, 10th, '61. Mr. Furnas: According to promise, I hasten to sketch you a few things, seen and heard, since I left the lovely precincts of Brownville. Tho association, attract ions, pleasures and enjoyments cf that place, are still fresh in my mind. They will never be forgotten.' I must say, " cf . .V . ! . T 1 Jr. T. II I i u iruui, uiai i iu urownvme wnn mucn sorrow and deep regret. Yet to leave, under the circumstances, seemed to be my duty. I trust it will work toother for your and my good and for the glory of God. I wish again to tender my thanks to the people there and in the region round about, for their kindness tome dur ing my sojourn among them. I will al ways remember them with emotions of pleasure. I cannot but say, in this con nection, peace be with you .all." Going to Denver. After a pleasant trip to Bellevue and a happy sojourn there of a few days, I arrived at Omaha on the Sih ult., where I enjoyed a deten tion of some two weeks very pleasantly with my old friends and brethren of that beautiful and tasty city. I always like to go to Omaha, and even to Florence de serted as it is it still contains several kind friends and pleasant families. That Plateau unequalled for beauty, being the scene of my first labor in the Far West, will always remember .with grateful re collections. Havinu shared the kindness of Rev. Mr. Gaylord, and my old friends of the boarding house hard by the Hern don, and being very tired waiting, at last the Stage drove round, and in a hurry six of us, with one lady and a boy. bade farwell to the interesting scenes of the turbid Missouri, and on the evening of the 21st, ult., just as the clock struck four, entered the stage for a trip of 600 miles cp the beautiful valley of the wide-spread Platte. On the first night we endured a very severe thunder storm ; and althct h it thundered loud, blew hard, rained heavily and lightened vividly, yet conscious that we were encompassed by Ilim ,4 who walketh upon the wings of the wind," we feared no evil. On the morning of the 3rd day we 'forded the Platte, where it is about 2 miles wide.iuterspread with'many islands great and small clothed ia verdue. and soon found ourselves in the centre cf Fort Kearney. The Fort is a handsome place, ever looking the beautiful region round about. The weather beincr fine mated popuhuoa of seme U.UJU, lsu 3 weekly and 3 daily spirited papers, and surrounded with a fine country, w iih a fertile soil, much cf w hich is already un der cultivation, (especial along the Platte bottom) and with a healthy climate, ex cellent water and an enterprising popula tion, bids fair to be the great metropolis cf the Far West. It surpasses my ex pectation. There is a lcul cry cf hard times and scarcity cf money. Emigra tion as yet, not so large as last year. Still they are pouring ia dai.y. Many pass oa to the mountain?. Religious. May 20, Monday morninj. Owing to a multiplicity of business, I have not been able to finish my letter nil now. There are, besides one large Roman Catholic, four church organizations here, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist north and Methodist south, the latter have a good brick house of worship, which through the kindness of the Trustees and Pastor, Rev. Mr. Bradford, I occupy during his absence to the States. I have preached every Sabbath since my arrival. On the first Sabbath upon a few hours notice, we had a good congre gation in the City Hall, w hich has in creased since, more than four fold. Last night we had the largest congregation I have ever seen in all the Far-west. It was the most solemn and interesting meet ing we have had. We have reasons 44 to thank God and take courage." I mee many old friends. The people are kind. I have not received a number of the 44 Advertiser" for three weeks. Hope you will send it regularlj'. I read it with much interest. Good-bye.
