Nebraska is not entirely void of those
little comforts that renders it a home to
usy .Many wild fruits are to be found
in abundance. The plum, grape, gcos-
.berry, .strawberry and ra?pberry. grow
fpontaneously all along our little streams
!cnd on the'borders of woodlands. Goos-
"berries of an ncrrnous size and fine fla
vor, tha dojanidewni.are hardy,
give us their yearly crop of wholesom
. fruits.' There are plums growing in some
portions of the Territory that are curculio
proof,, and are large, fine and delicious.
. But tha "Flora" of the western prai-
' ries and plains is the admiration of all
that beheld them. There are a great
- many flowers growing wild, of greater
beauty ana attraction thannundredi now
in the flower gardens of the East, that
l ave cost vast amounts to get them there,
while these prairie beauties are left for
us is enjoy. They are left because they
ere not known to eastern botanists and
gardners.
We have a friend who, we understand,
has been engaged the past season in col-
lecting many kinds of shrub, flower and
creeper seeds of Nebraska, Kansas, Utah
Minnesota, for a nurseryman of Ulica,
. New York, who will be the first to intro
duce them to the cultivator and amateurs
"'of the East. When once introduced, the
catalogues of eastern seed dealers will
have more than one new novelty that it
did cot nossess heretofore.
Eollcrs.
A maxim with Washington was: "In
Peace prepare for War." There is an
other rr.'j.xitn that should be followed by
ail farmers, "in winter prepare for sum
mer." In summer all are compelled by
necessity to provide for winter ; but the
majority of farmers do not make suf
ficient preparation in any one season for
the future. We will not now attempt to
write a long essay on this subject.- We
will, however, suggest to farmers that
ricw is the ti.ne to procure the tools and
implements needed next Summer; see
that your plows, harrows, reapers, rakes,
hoes. &c, &.c, are all in good, trorkallt
order. Also provide a roller for leveling
and smoothing plowed land. ' -
No farmer who has -ever thoroughly
tried a roller will afterwards be ever long
without one. The benefits from its use
are: leveling the surface of the ground ;
thoroughly pulverizing the clods ; and
packing the dirt, which in Prairie coun
tries is too loose.
Pulverizing the soil is often no incon
siderable advantage, even here in this
Prairie country. But packing the dirt is
by far the most important benefit deriv
ed from the use of a roller. Some who
have not tried it may think the soil is
never too loo.se, that compressing it is a
.
positive injury. jj.u experience proves
that our soil, if compressed evenly and
thoroughly pulverized, will produce bet
ter crops than without. The roller, no
matter how heavy it "may be does not
make he ground hard or solid, but leaves
it perfectly mellow.
We have seen, in this county, in wheat
fields, turnip patches, ana other places,
that the portions of the fie!d where the
teams had turned in plowing, and had
consequently tramped the ground the
most, produced the best portion of the
crop. The observation of many . farm
ers in this county will bear U3 out in this
assertion.
When the surface is made level the
severe winds will not have half so much
influence in drying the ground.' A deep,
mellow, smooth soil is the best for re
taining moisture.
In the Eastern and Middle States rol
lers are very common. Many not only
use the roller for leveling their plowed
ground, but also, with great advantage,
in the Spring of the year, in pressing
back the grass-roots on their pasture land,
when the ground has been "heaved-up"
by the frost. Timothy and clover, and
in fact, all kinds of grass, will come at
least two weeks earlier, and will continue
to grow better all summer, when the
ground is rolled early in the Spring.
The soil of Nebraska is usually very
mellow, especially when plowed at the
right time ; but from a press of business
end other reasons, farmers cannot always
wait for the ground to be in proper order
to plow, and consequently it is some
times cloddy so much so that the har
row will not pulverize it. In such cases
a roller is indispensable to get the ground
in good order.
A roller can be cheaply made from a
Cottonwood or'an cak log. The log must
be straight, and should be made perfectly
round and smooth. It should be eight or
ten feet long, and at least two feet thick,
three or four feet in diameter, however,
will be still better.
One of the most important -considera
: tions in procuring seeds of all kinds is to
get those that are fresh, and have also
bepn raised xa the some soil and climate
" in which they are to be planted. R. O
Tbcmfso, of Syracuse, Otoe county, Ne
Iraskai and II. A. Tebrt, of Cresent
' City, Iowa, have each raised and put up
a very large assortment ot garden, ueia
and flower seed, and will be prepared to
"supply the wholesale trade, for nex;
spring. Merchants will make money
awl confer a great favor on their patrons
1 v purchasing their supplies of these gen
tlemen. " 4
To Encourage Grape Culture.
For . the purpose of encouraging the
cultivation of grapes in Nebraska, a law
was enacted - at the last session of the
Legislature exempting from taxation, for
the first acre one. hundred dollars in val
uation, and for each additional acre fifty
dollars. The act amounts to but very
little. The great difficulty in getting up
laws for the encouragement of any branch
of agriculture is, that they are gotten up
as a general thing by those who have no
practical knowledge of what they under
take to Legislate about. For instances,
the laws passed last winter concerning
tree planting. , requires one hundred
trees to the acre. .This miht do for
dwarfs; but half that number is an abun
dance for standard trees. The same law
requires four hundred, forest trees to the
acre. Half that number is sufficient, to
admit of good agriculture.

Three nersons arrested bv the citizens
of Johnson county, were brought to this
city on Saturday night last. Uae cf tnem
said to be the cerson. who with Cleve
land, took the oath of-allegiance in this
a
city a few weeks ago, and tne otner two,
with the first, were taken upon suspicion
of belonging to the Jayhawkin? band.
Two of them were carried to bidney, to
be placed in jail, but the authorities of
Fremont county, refused to receive them.
They were brought back to this place,
sometime on Sunday evening. On Mon
day a rumor gained credence that one of
them (Lowry) had been pu under the
ice, in the Missouri river, during Sunday
night. On Tuesday we were informed
that another (Watson, the member cf the
Nebraska City League) had been re
leased, but followed and shot dead.
" It is stated, upon good authority, that
these murders were committted ; and in
the name of Justice and Liberty we pro
test against any more of them. We say
"murders," because the killing (if the
men were killed) was done by unauthor
ized persons, in the dark nnd without
giving the victius a "chance." If Wat
son and Lowry were guilty of robbery,
attempts to kill, or any other lawless acts
under the name of Jayhawking as we
have every reason to believe they were
there should yet Lave been a positive

. Jlr. Furnas : JDrAR Sn Tfthe map
of Missouri be( taken down for the pur
pose of tracing the path of the Nebras
ka regiment which it ras traveled dur
in the past six months, the curiosity seek
er will find a read crocked and long,
leading over country hills and through
prairies undulating and even. He will
view it starting from St. Jo. leading a
cross the State to the city of Hannibcl:
thence down the "Father cf Water?, to
St. Louis, and thence Southwest, over the
Ircn Mountain Railroad to Pilot Knob;
where one can see frost in the middle of
Summer.' There the Regimet rests for
a. month; thence it suddenly tacks back
to St. Louis, and on Northwest to Syra
cuse. Syracuse is its terminus for an
otner month ; after which it strikes off
southwardly towards Springfield, through
Warsaw, Quincy. Cole Camp, and Boli
var. . Then, for the first time, the regi
ment was on the march, and eager to
overtake . te rebels, who were flying be
fore us like gossamer threads in the
wind ; and then was the time when with
the Path Finder at our head, we hoped
to follow Price into Arkapsas, and drive
all the rebel hordes before us even down
to Memphis and New Orleans, perhaps.
But our path did not lead so far in that
direction tnat time, at a mere convenient
season we may go perchance. After be
ing marshalled in battle array one even
ing with our faces toward Wilson 'sCreek.
where rumor had it the enemy were gath
ering invincible and strong, and after
our Colonel had spoken us a battle speech,
and all our hearts were braced with the
prospect of meeting them in battle, in
which we would have a chance to show
the . superiority of the prowess of the
Northman over the children of the South,
our inexorable path suddenly tacked back
again, and we left our camping ground,
made historical by the famous charge of
Maj. Zagonyi's men a week or more ere
we arrived upon it. . It was a glorious
sight in and around Springfield during the
few cool nights we were there. The
nights were chilly, for it was very late
Autumn, though the days wsre warm and
fair; the camp fires of forty thousand
men or more lit up the sky of hight, un
til the heavens were all aglow, and the
brilliant stars, immediately overhead,
were obscured, and the moonlight seemed
of a paler and weaker hue. Sprinfield
was surrounded by camps, and encircled
with a wall of fire. And where was
Sterling then ? Double quicking it to
Arkansas. The General who had been
so brave at Lexington, where, with thirty
thousand men he subdued three thousand,
did not have the courage to meet an equal
force at Springfield afterwards. Gen.
Price is famous for proclamations, ap
peals and for attacking small bodies of
Union soldiers ; but he is not the Gene
ral nor the man to give battle or stand
his ground when a force equal to his is
at hand. Well, Price has espoused a bad
cause, is nware of it, and knows it will
never do to risk a battle with equal num
bers, for his life would not be worth a
mullen stalk.
But, let us further .trace the path of
the Regiment. We turned our faces to
the north, and leaving Springfield, re
passed through Bolivar, Quincy and
Warsaw. After having passed through
Warsaw we marched directly north to
Sedalia, leaving Syracuse to the right,
ws marched through Sedalia and camped
near Georgetown, where our path' stop
ped another month. It was while we
were camped near Georgetown that a
band of mounted rebels captured one of
our foraging parties, when the men were
scattered getting forage, and most of
them unarmed. They took some of our
men's guns, overcoats, hats and shoes,
and gave some o!d coats, caps and shoes
in return. . They madeMhe teamsters
drive the teams like mad, northward, un
til they feared they would be overtaken,
when they left them and sought safety
in a more rapid flight ; and well for them
they did, for the news ,had come early
into camp and spread like wild fire. All
the officers of our regiment, save two or
three, all of the Ohio 27th and 39th
mounted steeds, and led by Col. Thayer,
where on their track. One company of
our regiment struck the -double quick;
and a detail of ten from each company
commanded by Capt. Livingston went in
wagons. And woe betide the rebels whom
they shall chance to meet.
In the course of a month after the ret
rograde from Springfield we took up win
ter quarters in Georgetown, a town about
thirty years old, but rather small of its
age. Since we have been here our path
has made quite a circumlocution. It
started one morning bright and early,
and led us north twenty miles towards
Waverly, where it wae rumored Martin
Green, or some other man, with a large
force had attacked Merrill's horse and
was successful ; but after marching twen
ty or more miles we learned the rumor
was false, so we "bout faced," and march
ed back to' town the next day, bringing
in one prisoner whom we captured one
of Price's body-guard a captain, bearing
dispatches to the north Missourian rebel?.
Two or three days after this, on Sab
bath morning. Dec. 15ih, revelle sound
ed at 3 a. m., every man capable of bear
ing arms, was up, end swallowed his
breakfast, and got ready to march for
Sedalia at. daylight.-- Then it was when
we marched under Gen. Poke's command
to intercept. Rain's division, which was
guarding a provision train bound for
Price at Osceola. - Our path led toward
Warsaw for a time, to befool the seces
sionists, then veered directly West, and
passed near Cii:iton, through Chiihowa,
Warrensburg at d Knob Nosier. It was
near Knob Nosier, on some "creek
Black Water, by name. I think where
we made such a large haul of rell fiih ;
where we gathered up so many disciples
for McDowell College, at St. Louis.
After a week's tramp we hal'eJ in
Georgetown, where we sre yet, and where
our path yet ends. But the rumor is, it
may start in a couple of weeks for the
chivalrous, sunny South, so, for a while,
hang up the map of Missouri, and as I
have written enough for once, I will save
my observations, gleaned by the way, for
another letter. . -

Camp Hunter, Jan, 16, 1862.
Friend Furnas: The clouds, which
for a time enveloped U9, having blown
away, the dim of battle passed from our
midst, and peace and quiet restored, I
proceed to give you a short chapter in the
history of our experience as soldiers since
we left Brownville.
We arrived at Camp Hunter on the
2Gth of December, 1861, and found the
mustering office closed against us, and
not a field or staff officer on the ground.
I at once proceeded to the Headquarters
of Col. Graham, temporarily in command
of the camp, and stated to him that I had
arrived with some additional recruits for
Col. Davis's Excelsior Cavalry Regiment,
and as the mustering office was closed, I
desired to know whether it would be pos
sible, under the circumstances, to get my
recruits rationed. He promptly replied
that I could not ; stating at the same time
that he was feeding his recruits which
Haskell had brought down at his own ex
pense, which I afterwards learned to be
true,, r.rince having refused to honor any
requisition for any reciuits not mustered
into the service. I at once determined
to proceed to the headquarters of General
Hunter. I found him in his private
quarters with his family. His orderly
carried in my name, informing him I was
from Nebraska. He returned and gave
permission for me to enter, which I did,
introducing myself and business. He
handed me a blank form of provision re
turn, stating that if I would fill it out he
would sign ii. Believing it to be the
cheapest way to feed my recruits, I at
once accepted the terms, and got the
grub. I then proceeded to open to him
my business as special envoy from the
citizens of Brownville on the matter of
Jayhawking, and after conversing for
sometime, he told me if he could spare
any troops he would complv with the re
quest of the citizens of Nebraska, back
ed it was by their executive.
The personel of Maj. Gen. Hunter i3
stern but rather prepossessing, coupling
the suavity of the gentleman with the
decision of the soldier. He is about 5
feet 11 inches in hight, well made, with
very black hair and eyes; short mus
tache; unassuming in manner; in fact,
we have some corporals wfco are far more
sensitive about their dignity than the
General commanding.
I will now proceed to give you a con
densed account of the manner of manu
facturing officers in the Kansas army ;
and also a short chapter in my own ex
perience. On the Sunday following my
arrival here, about noon, a small pattern
of a man came into camp with a commis
sion from Gov. Robinson, accompanied by
an order, placing him in command of all
unattached recruits, as first lieutenant.
I learned that his Exellency, the Gover
nor, was in the city, and at once proceed
ed to see him, as the majority of the un
attached were my men ; the governor
ordered that his man should not be placed
in command of us, giving to me assur
ances that the desire of the men should
be respected in the selection of their
officers. I, therefore, returned to camp,
contented to await the opening of the
umstering office, which event took place
outhe lstof January. Ou its arrival we
were duly mustered in, with the express
understanding that we should select our
officers. Therefore, imagine our surprise
when we learned that before we reached
camp a full number of company officers
were mustered in and placed in com
mand of a company of ninety men, the
finest on the ground ; and the most
beautiful feature was that not one of
those so appointed had any men of their
own recruiting in the company. Well,
now, the deviVs to pay, thought we, yet
we were still not given over to dispair.
Our Nebraska boys, as a unit, true to the
last, refused to obey the officers thus
thrust upon them. I then drew up a pe
tition and carried it before the General
at that time in command of the Kansas
troops. The G eneral, a very affable man,
said, upon my statement of the case, that
he would transfer us to some other ser
vice, either infantry or artillery, and that
he would take council with the General
commanding, o.n"the morrow, ' and visit
our camp, and hear further our grievances
and redress them as best he could.
Punctual to time, the General came to
camp the next evening, accompanied by
the mustering officer, and calling out our
cpany, proceeded to imistor us out of
the service, and after he did so, he gave
u permission to organize to suit our
selves, and returuf to any branch of the
we might choose. Upon cojuting nose3
a majority preferred to return to the reg
iment we had just left, yet, some con
cluded to go i to the Kansis fifth, and
we were left with but 67 tn( n, and were
mustered into the service with your
humble servent as 1st lieutenant. In a
few days we completed our organization,
when I, by a general order, was placed
in command of company K, 9ih Kansas
cavalry, as Captain of our Nebraska boys,
who are now "dwelling together in har
mony." with our Kansas friedns. The
names of our officers are
1st Lieut. Patrick Cosgrove, Johnson
county, Kas.
2d Lieut. John Waugh, Johnson coun
ty, Kas. ,
1st Sarg't P: W. Straw, Brownville.
1st Duty Serg't, B. B. Thompson, do
2d " Luther M. Eldridge,
Pawnee City.
3d " " John N. Gere, Table
Rock.
4th " " Immer L. Knight,
Brownville,
1st Corporal, W. F. Ball, Peru.
2d " A. J. Hanna, Brownville.
Now, that we have" our organization
perfected, we hope to turn our attention
to tactics and drill.
Tnere are rumors in camp to-day that
we are in a few days to go to Quindaro,
near Kansas City, and from what I have
been able to learn it is true. Our regi
ment is now full with Col. Davis in com
mand. It was filled by drawing four
csmpanies from Col. Nugents. We area
popular, or rather, the popular company
in the regiment, in consequence of our
stubborn maintainance of the right, and
our final success.
I will now bring this, perhaps, uninte
resting letter to a close. If anything of
interest turns up I will keep you posted.
Yours truly,
A. W. MATTAEWS.
N. B. I have heard that a certain per
son from Nebraska told up in your coun
try that I was a corporal in his company,
(called here gray backs,) in the Mexi
can Brigade. I wonder if it is the same
man who was arrested in Leavenworth
recently for passing counterfeit money ?
And, again, I wonder if he is the same
man who is said to have stolen quilts,
blankets and pantaloons at a holel in
Falls City? I wonder if he is the same
man who advertises himself as "the great
Western Orator" ? and the same person
age who cannot stay a second time at
points along the route from Nebraska to
Leavenworth without beincr eired ?
I will now close this short chapter of
wonders, but if in the future any more of
those interesting features of the cam
paign in the shape of wonders occur I
will write you another short chapter.

N Cincinnati, Jan. 21.
This morning's papers contain full ac
counts of the battle of Mill Springs. It
was a fair, open battle. The rebels fought
well, and were overcome only by superior
fighting on our side. According to rebel
accounts their force consisted of ten in
fantry regiments, three batteries, and
some cavalry altogether about ten thous
and men. They fought in bushwhacking
style, from ravines, and behind trees,
bushes and rocks. Ihe brunt o: tne bat
tle devolved on the 4th Kentucky, 2nd
Minnesota, 9th Ohio and 10th Indiana.
For nearly three hours the roar of musk
etry was kept up. Shortly after 11 o'
clock Col. Haskin3 suceeded in flanking
the enemy on the extreme right, when
the 9th Ohio and 2d Minnesota charged
with the bayonet, with triumphant yells,
whih broke the rebel ranks, and the rout
began. They fled pellmell to their camp
strewing the road with their muskets,
blankets, overcoats and knapsacks, and
abandoned two guns and caissons. Zol
licofler was shot through the heart, at
the head of his staff, by Col. Fry, of the
4th Kentucky. It appears that Zollicof
fer lost his way in the bushes, and wd
denly emerged before Col. Fry, who was
accompanied by some staff officers. The
two parties mistook each other for friends,
and approached within a few yards of each
other, when, finding their mistake, both
halted and prepared for a hand to hand
conflict. One of Zollicoffer's aid shot dt
Col. Fry but only brought his horse down.
The federal Col. immediately drew his
six shooter and brought Zollicoffer from
his saddle at tr.e first fire The rebel
staff deserted iheir duel's body, which
was taken to Somerset the day after the
battle.
An East Tennessee citizen, writing
to the Commercial, says all the credit and
honor of this battle is due to the 10th
Indiana, 9th Ohio, 4th Kentucky and 2d
Minnesota, for they did all the fighting,
single handed, with the exception of
what support they received from the ar
tillery. They all fought nobly, and never
wavered from the fixed determination to
gain the victory. The combatants were
so near pach other at one time that the
powder burned their faces in the dis
charge of their pieces, The 2d Minne
sota captured a banner from a Mississip
pi regiment, on which was inscribed
"Mississippi Butchers."
The appointment of Edwin M Stan
ton, as SecretaFy of War, to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the resignation of
Sec. Cameron, seems to give general sat
isfaction to all parties. "Mr. Stanton is
a native of Stubenville, Ohio; has been
a Democrat; and was in Buchanan's
Cabinet for a few weeks previous to its
dissolution.
