Expedition Another Victory.
The latest intelligence from the Union
armies are of the most cheering charac
ter, and indicate an onward movement
in almost every direction.
. From the St. Louis Democrat we glean
the following:
Fort Henry was taken yesterday p. m.
at fxir o'clock, after an action of one hour
and five minutes.
. I have jus: been aboard the gunboats,
and have had an interview with Commo
dore Foot. The guu boats approached
the fort four abreast in the following or
der: The Essex on the right, then the
Cincinnati, Carondelet and St. Louis.
. 'The fire wjs opened at one mile dis
tance from the fort, and continued while
the boats steadily advanced, until when
the fort surrendered the boats were but
450 yards from the fort. The forward
guns were the only ones used.
The rebel fire was directed piincipally
at the flag ship the Cincinnati. She
received thirty-one shots, chiefly dame
gin$: her' where not iron plated. Her
chimneys, pilot ' house, after cabin, and
her boals were completely riddled. Two
of her guns were disabled. One was
struck by 6S-pounder on the muzzle.
Another thirty-two struck on her side and
The only fatal shot from the fort passed
through just at the larboard front, killed
one man instantly, carrying nis neaa
away, and wounding several others.
The Essex received thirteen shots, one
.pasiing through her bulworks in front,
struck a middle boiler and caused it to
explode. Captain Porter was slightly
scalded in the face and hands. The pt
lits were scalded" to death in the pilot
hou'ie, having no way of escape. Eight

when at 12:30 the Cincinnati opened the

rrom the Nebraska Regiment.
Jri rrESON City, Mo. Feb. 7, 'G2.
It. W. FunKAs Dear Sir : Saturday,
Febuary 1st, orders came to the Nebras
ka Regiment to get ready to march on
Monday for Jefferson City, and there
await further orders. Accordingly,
when Monday came, -bright and early,"
we got our things together, loaded wag
ons, bade adieu to Georgetown and win
ter quarters, and went on our way with
out turning around to look back like Lot's
wife, and without casting one solitary,
"long, lingering look behind." George
town may have its charms and fond asso
ciations for some, but it certainly has
none for your whilom correspondent.
Too many secessionists, and too much
rebel sympathy around there, to suit a
staunch friend of the Union, as the writer
claims to be. Altogether too much leni
ty has been shown them strengthening
the rebel cause, and confirming its feeble
knees. So long as the war is conducted
as it has been in Missouri, so long will
rebels exist, and secessionists thrive ; and
so long will they follow on our track, as
Price and his myrmidons did when the
grand army retrograded from Spring
field. O, for such a commander-in-chief as
General Lane, whom the St. Louis Re
publican and Chicago Times love to tra
duce. Well for the St. Louis Rejmbli
can that he does not command the Mis
souri department, for he would soon stop
the howling recriminations, pull the
sheep-skin off the wolf, and lay bare the
serai-concealed traitor. Would to heav
en he were the commander, that the
spots where rebels' grow might be laid
desolate, and their places of concealment
"a waste, howling wilderness." Heaven
speed the time when our Generals and
Colonels will look upon the rebels as
our sworn and bitter foes, instead of see
ing brothers whom we must take by the
hands and gently urge them in the way
of ricrht and reason. And heaven hasten
the hour when that chattle" of theirs
may not be considered more sacred than
liberty of conscience, or than a man's life
to himself. . More Again.

One of the Cavalry boys from this
county, now belonging to the "Curtis
Horse," under date of February 7th,
says:
"Friesd Furnas : We expect to leave
for Coiro at seven in the morning. Our
men are all jubilant at the idea of a for
ward movement. I will write from there.
There is much rejoicing at the success at
Fort Henry, in Tennessee."
A postcript to same letter says:

iment is in first column, and on the right,
and in the right in line. I expect to be

From the Gold Mines.
Central City, Col. Ter., )
January 19th, 1662.
a
R. W Furnas, Esq. Dear Sir: As
I have been in the Mountains two months
and availed myself of the opportunity of
looking around and studying the nature of
this country, I conclude, not as a'corres
pondent of the Advertiser, but as a friend
of R. W. Furnas, to give you my opin
ion of matters and things here.
From all I have seen, and from diff
erent conversations with gentlemen of
experience, science and knowledge of
mining, I undoubtedly think these moun
tains will develop themselves to be the
richest mining country in the United
States, and perhaps as rich as any on the
Globe. Most everything is furnished
here in quantities gold, silver, copper,
lead, iron, chalk, plaster of paris, and
other ores that will prove valuable when
once worked properly. Last week a mill
here took out of three-quarters of a cord
of quart?, SI ,299 in gold, when assayed.
The mills are most all running, and doing
much better than they ever have dene
before. The deeper they sink their
shafts, the richer they find the quarts
with gold ; and the longer they run their
mills, the better experienced they become
in the art of saving gold from the quart.
There has been before I arrived here,
and even since I came, much excitement
in regard to Buckskin lead, Montgomery
district ; but many parties who have left
here and gone there, in a short time re
turned, fully satisfied to risk their for
tunes in Gregory district.
At our last election in this county,
(Gilpin.) which contains about two hun
dred square miles, there were about 2,500
I votes cast, and a little over flOO. of that
number were cast in this precinct, Cen
tral City. Trade has been good, and
business of all kinds brisk and prosperous
since I came here, and goods have brought
a good profit ; but I think as soon as
spring comes, thu goods and producelus
iness will hi largely overdone here, and
goods will not bring as good profits here
as in the States, as I hear of many par
ties who arc intending to bring on large
stocks of goods at an early day ; and
there will be a great many from the
States in the mercantile business who are
nearly run down, as a last resort will use
their best efforts to replenish their stock,
in view of paying out of debt by selling
for cash here, and sustaining themselves
in the future.
A few days ago flour and pork were
scarce here. If is now different; the
market is over run, and pork is down to
eight cents in Denver, and flour is rap
idly declining. The flour Baker, Rogers
& Co., hauled out for us would have sold
well, if a certain little water-mill just be
low'iS'emaha City, had made it flour, in
stead of cross middlings. Out of 37S
bushels of wheat sent to said mill by my
agent in your town, we got, I suppose,
115 sacks of stuff called flour, by those
that ground it. I directed our agent to
send wheat to said mill, supposing we
would get a good yield and good flour.
I can speak for the flour being miserable,
and any one desirous of knowing can
learn the particulars of yield in Brown
ville. -
Furnas, I think you could make ten
dollars here with your press, where you
make one there, by going in here strictly
on the cash basis. There is no printing
press here,! and I feel well convinced
there is more work sent to Denver in a
month, of the kind you do, and is done by
you in Brownville in six months. Some
men there pay when you credit them
others no not; such is my experience?
Here all expect no credit.
I shall be in Brownville during the
spring, but can not stay long, as I well
know it will not pay.
Yours, D. J. M.
P. S. If any of your speculating citi
zens desire to go into a good speculation,
if they will purchase some 200 or 300
kegs of blasting powder, and send through
immediately, it will pay well. It is
worth S20 p!r keg here, and very scarce!
Most mfen here who are , able, to buy
powdtT, have not the time to leave and
attend to the preliminaries of getting it
through to the Missouri river. Money
can be more than doubled in the next
sixty day3 ia the operation. M.
AXTIJAYIIAWK CORRESPONDENCE.
Mr. Editor: I have read an article
in your issue of February 6th, signed
"Oscar," which purports, to have beep
written in answer to "Publius," in which
he quotes "Publius" thus: "It is a fact
greatly to be lamented, and much to be
wondered at, that some of our citizens,
whose positions ana opinions upon public
matters are generally correct, should
sanction thi'3 system of Jayhawking."
Now, "Oscar" sa's that the reasons, and
only reasons why such a charge is pre
ferred against them, are these: lAt
the organization sometime since in Brown
ville and vicinity, called the Anti Jay
hawking company, several, good Union
men, instrumental in getting up this or
ganization, conceived a (to them) grand
idea of joining, h eart and hand, with al
most the entire portion of our community.
who have been so profuse in their praise
of the government of Jeff. Davis, and
lavish in their condemnation of every act
taken by the Union men of this vicinity
for the preservation of the peace, who
have in short, set themselves up as rep
resentatives of the South."
Now, Mr. Editor, mark the above,
"almost entire community who have been
so profuse in their praise of the govern
ment of Jeff. Davis, & Co." What will
your readers at a distance think of the
citizens of Brownville, and of Nemaha
county ? Th-tt almost the entire commu
nity are rebels, The above, Mr. Editor,
is a false and foul calumny on our com
munity. It is true, there are a few per
sons among us, who, when this rebellion
had been inaugurated by the South, and
whose friends were there, deeply sym
pathised with them. But is that so crim
inal ? It is but the effect of the tender
erst passions of our nature. A rebel has
no apologist in me, but I wish to look
upon mankind as they are.
Mr. "Oscar" quotes a resolution of the
Brownville company as follows : "That
no person can lawfullyexpect protection
to their property from this company un
less they become a member thereof."
Well. I do cot see much in that, though I
opposed its adoption ; yet it was intended
by its' friends to cause more to unite
for general safety. Did the company
confine themselves to it? No. They
went hastily to Peru to the relief
of the people when they were invaded by
those thieves and called for help. Yes,
they went farther. They went to Mc
Kesseck's grove, in Missouri, when they
were informed that rebels were there
harrassing Union men.
Now, this "Oscar," in his apology for
those persons who "Publius" has so boldly
charged with the serious crime of Jay
hawking, he sayst "have done nothing but
stand aloof and discountenance this or
ganization." Now the last statement is
false, with regard to sonu: of them.
They did much more. They ran about
tie country end told the people thai-the
Brownville company were secessionist,1
and created excitement in the midst of
many good citizensy their falsehoods.
"They coutend .that Jayhawking is but
the effect of sl cause,' that cause is sec s
sion." Now, sir, I deny that secession
is the cause of 'Jayhawking. Secession
is tiie co use cf, and brought on war, and
war here js followed. by the same conse
quences that it ever has been in all ages
and in all nations, It affords the oppor
tunity to thieves, - and bad men to show
ther hand and indulge in their vile pro
pensities, home Jayhawking. . '
' I have not time to notice every part of
"Oscar's" article, but in a latter clause I
find "another reason why these Jawhawk
sanctioners have "opposed this mixed up
organizationis this : ft appears to them
that if its members had beemtruly anx
ious to preserve the entire public peace,
they would have taken advantage of the
companies already organized, completed
those organizations, and thereby made
them effective." Now to awswer the
above: "Oscar" admits that he and his
associates are Jayhawk sanctioners,
: But I must tell him why this company,
which has given him so much trouble,
was gotten up. The Jayhawkers, and
thieves invaded our county, and were
robbing and shooting good Union men,
and the danger we were in caused us to
look about for some way or means of
warding off tieir attack. We called a
meeting of the citizens. News was
communicated to us that Dr. Thurman,
of Aspinwall, had,' the day before, been
robbed, and a man in Peru shot by the
Jayhawkers, and that they would visit
Brownville. . We concluded to organize
in self-defence. Danger at hand, like
adversity, makes us wise and thoughtful,
and in looking around for a leader, whose
mode of life was that of law and order,
and in our selection we vere entirely
successful. The companies partially or
ganized, alluded to by "Oscar," were
those commanded by Capt. Hewett and
Capt, Lou. Hill. These gentlemen
were in our meeting, and warmly es
poused the cause, and followed the leader
chosen, and nobly performed their part.
They have not complained that they
were over ranked. No petty jealousy
punctured their bosoms, because, like
honest men, they have the good of their
country at heart. But it appears that in
this proceeding of the people at Brown
ville, some person has been neglected,
offended or wronged, in his own imagin
ation. Hence the discontent that has
been fomented among people who had
not been in Brownville to associate with
the citizens, and know the real stale of
facts. ?
. Why is it that such spleen should be
vented against this ? company ? Why
threatened to be disarmed.. Why was
Jayhawkers so courted by some persons?
The people have seen this, and will not
forget it.
Now for the truth of my, position that
Jayhawking is only an incidental conse
quence of a state of war. Because the
rulers of the people are engrossed; the
laws trampled under foot; and that
thieves and robbers seize this opportunity
to practice their nefarious avocations.
I refer the reader to Josephus in his ac
count of the war which preceeded the
destruction of Jerusalem, a war in which
he, himself, was a commander; and of
one John of Gischala and his band of
robbers. I refer to Weem's life of Ma
rior, of the effect of the Revolutionary
war in the Carolinas; when gamblers
and topers, and those who lived in lasciv
iousness, disgregarding the laws of God
and man, and committing every species
of crime, of such are Jayhawkers.
If those complainers will come to
Brownville and point out a rebel, they
will see the company bring, him to ac-4
count in short order. That was the in
tention and object of the company, to keep
down rebels and thieves ; and nobly have
they done their work. - There is not a
Jayhawker left in the county ; not a reb
el dare show his face ; and good people
rejoice at the effect; and are grateful to
Capt. Barrett and his company. They
have brought us peace and security, and
there is nothing left for us to do but to
enjoy it, a privilege , we ought surely to
appreciate in these troublesome times.
Nor have our company, in any instance,
violated law, but have held it sacred, as
also the rights of all honest people.
Fogy.
wlr. Editor. In answer to a call of
many citizens for a mass meeting, to be
held in Nemaha City on the 6th mst., to
ale into consideration the good of the
naticyi, of our Territory and county, I
found myself in the afore mentioned city
long before the appointed time. " Many
any various were the conjectures as to
what were the plans to be proposed for
the good of our distracted country. Per
haps some plan would be devised io bring
the war to an end ; or to take Manas9es
and capture Beauregard or Price, and
put the rebels to flight, all of which were
the subjects of our most anxious hopes.
The meeting was called to order by
electing Mr. Jonas Hacker to the Chair,
and D. C. Sanders Secretary.
The Chair read the notice that bad
brought us together, and appointed a
committee who retired without instruc
tions, to draft resolutions expressing the
sense of the meeting. .1 -
Dr. Ilulladay .and Dr. McPherson
were then called upon to address the
9
r r : 1
meeting. Ur. xuc. arose anu jmjuueu
the object of the meeting. Was it to nom
inate a Congressman, or take into consid
eration the interests of South Platte; or
to inquire into the action of our Repre
sentatives? The President of the meeting did not
know any asked if any in the house
could tell. No person answered. Some
one said Mr. Minick could tell. But Mr.
Minick could not tell. After some pleas
ant bantering between Messrs. Holladay,
McPherson, Crow and Kennedy, the
committee returned with a preamble and
resolutions, declaring that we are op
posed to all unlawful bands of Jayhawk
ers or anti-jayhawkers; and that the civil
law is sufficient for the protection of life
and property. 'This is true, provided al
ways that the law is strictly enforced a
gainst all offenders, . "
Esq. Johns inquired if the resolutions
were intended to reflect on the Brown
ville Anti-jayhawk company, and was an
swered in the most positive mauner that
they did not.
Capt. Barrett said that the Brownville
company acted under authority of Gen.
Hunter the first and only time they went
out, except when as a posse under the
Sheriff.
1 Dr. McPherson said the Legislature
ol the Territory had asked for five com
panies of soldiers to put down maraud
ers. But when he came home he found
all peaceful and quiet. He was in favor
of law and order. We had states-rights
men in our county who had honestly be
lieved that a State had a right to secede ;
men had a right. to think, speak and crit
icise the acts of the Administration, and
as long as they do "nothing against Gov
ernment' they ought to be protected.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, an orderly in the ser
vice of Missouri, who was on furlough
on account of ill health, said the Doctor's
philanthropy had inveloped his patriot
ism; that we were committing a great
wrong in protecting secessionists; they did
not deserve protection, &c, When in
formed that we were a loyal people while
his State had rebelled against the Govern
ment, he said, in Missouri, if any person
was found acting against the Government,
they took him prisoner, and if he would
swear then in that case they protected him
and we ought of right to protect him.
The next speaker revised the bill of
rights which says that all men have cer
tain inalienable rights, that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. Men used to think that these,
words meant something. Since they were
uttered, down-trodden humanity' has
looked forward to a new era with hope
that all men might yet enjoy those in
estimable blessings. ' Mistaken mortals!
A new prophet has arisen who is wiser
than the fathers, and says some men have
no rights. He gravely asks, what rights
have secessionists. Now if the fathers
who said that "no man shall be deprived
of .life, -liberty or property without due
process of law," were right, then he is
wrong. Choose ye whom ye will serve.
What! no rights ! It is against the civ
ilization of the age. Humanity shudders
at the doctrine. No rights! Then in
deed is Satan losened on earth ! I would
follow the rebel in arms against this Gov
ernment. as relentlessly as death. But
when he is taken, mercy steps in and pro
tects the prisoner, and he has a right to
an impartial trial either by civil or mili
tary law. All men have rights even
the midnight assassin, who steals your
life while you are asleep, the law pro
tects, until he is tried, convicted aud ex
ecnted. Surely the Doctor does not
mean what he says. If so, who are the
men thus thrown outside the pale of law,
in Nemaha County ? Are they his old
political friends, the Democrats Or
does he mean the Republicans; for he
says he is no abolitionist, he never voted
a Republican ticket in his life. If he
has turned his back on his old party does
he intend to start a new one ?
Col. Thompson said he knew twenty
men in this county who had aided or
abetted the rebels, and who were now
plotting against the governmeut. Now
Colonel, if you have the facts, you should
bring those men to justicf. Have them
arrested, and let them suffer as the law
provides in such cases.
Our young Major said that the Jay
hawkers had not taken any property
from, nor had they disturbed any Union
men in our county. Des he intend to
say that Mr. Savil, Dr. Thurman, Mr.
Leahy and Mr. Long, are secesh? If
these men differed from the Major three
months ago. it was not because he, the
Major, talked in favor of the Union more
than these men. But commissions came
thick and fast ; and now that he is Ma
jor, he can wipe out all his old sins with
a word. His fondness for argument only
is to blame ; and he is now anxious for
service, either to make up for the past, or
for the six dollars" per day. Now, like
Job's war horse, he svvalloweth the
ground in his fierceness and rage. Nei
ther believeth he that it i the sound of
the trumpet. He sayeth among ihe
trumpets ha! ha ! and smelleth the battle
afar off. Constitution.
City among the hills Quindaro; where,
I arA told, by those who have visited tho
place, there is -not level land 'enough to
allign a Corporal's Guard.' Our com
mand, all but two companies, are already
in quarters at the above named place ;
viz., Capt. ourself, and Capt. Lovejoy s
companies we being trusty .men- are
placed in charge cf the quartermaster 3
stores; and, by special order, ourself am
temporarily in command of the camp,-
with orders to march down to our new
quarters as soon as Uncle Sam furnishes
us our teams, which, we are informed,
will be done shortly, if not sooner.
One other event of more or less impor
tance, was the leaving Camp in conse
quence of certain orders, accompanied
with aa uncertain number of charges,
one Capt. Haskell, prominently known a3
"The Great Western Orator," who con
sidering prudence the better part of val
or, retired from the service cf Uncle Sam
in disgrace, and could not have the hon
or of holding a fourth Corporal's position
in my company.
Still another ovent is, Gov. Robinson
has been forced, under the pressure of
circumstances, to give the undersigned a
a commission of Captain of Cavalry in
the United States service, begining with
the year, (although denying the validity
of Davis's commission.)
Another important event is the arrival
of Gen.' James II. Lane to take com
mand of an expedition into Missouri and
'Arkansas, of which expedition we expect
to form a part. Since his arrival, the
soldiers and citizens m this part of the
country are all enthusiasm, and all bound
for Dixie. Jim is wonderfully popular.
Even Capt Price put on his Sunday suit
to meet him. I have not yet had an in
troduction to his celebrated personage, as
I have been on duty and have not had an
opportunity to visit the city, where he is
at present quartered.
We have sixteen cases of measles in
our company, all doing well except Wm.
McNeal of Table Rock, who has meas
les and pneumonia combined. He will
probably not recover. The sick are all
as well provided for as they would be at
home. Monroe Gwin entered the hos
pital about a week ago, with the measles
and returned to camp to day as stout as
ever; yet, for fear of accidents, I have
taken him into my own tent, so that I may
watch him a few days that he may not
take cold.
Friend Blackman, since the departure
of Haskell, or rather, since the cashier
ing of the Western Orator, is about to
get a Lieutenancy m the Nev Mexican
Brigade. Long life to the Major. If
you had seen him and Judge Bell about a
week ago you would have beheld pictures
of despair more brilliant than painted by
Milton in his palmiest moods.

Letter from Camp Hunter.
Camp Hunter, Jan 27, 1562.
Friend Furnas: Since I wrote you
last, a series of events have taken placer
of more or less importance in this milita
ry Department. One important event is,
our Regiment is ordered to the famous
Public 3Ieetlnt? at Nemaha City.
Pursuant to previous call, the citizens
of Nemaha county, assembled in mass
meeting at Ne aha City, Feb. 6th 1S62,
for the purpose of taking into consider
ation the best mode of averting the ap
parent dangerous condition of our coun
try, consequent upon the unauthorized
armed bands who have or may infest our
borders.
On motion of Mr. A. H. Scoville, Mr.
Jonas Hacker was chosen Chairman,
and D. C. Sanders Secretary.
After the object of the meeting being
stated by the Chair, Mr. Barnes, Mr.
Pawling and Mr. Lockwood were ap
pointed a committee to draft resolutions
to present to the meeting. After delib
eration the committee returned and of
fered the following preamble and resolutions-:
Whereas, The peace-loving, and law-
abiding citizens of this portion of our
beloved Union, behold with regret, indi
viduals uniting together under various
names and appellations, ostensibly avow
ing as their object the maintenance of
justice, law and order and the perpetu-
1 y of our Union; but whose acts plainly
oemonstrate that the best interests of our
citizens and our naticnal Unionis not the
controlling motive of their actious. It
becomes us, nay, it is our imperative du
ty as good, true and loyal citizens to dis
approve, discountenance and effectually
crush out any and all attempts of this
kind, coming from whatever course it
may, unless it is legitimate, and emenates
from the Constitutional authority of the
United States, and
Whereas, We fully endorse and ap
prove the proclamaiion recently issued by
our worthy Governor, prohibiting men
arming and associating together under any
name or title, unless authorized by law,
and.
Whereas, The recent interference by
the said unauthorized force with, the
rights of persons and property of our
citizens, and the lives recently sacrificed
without hearing and trial, thus abrogat
ing all law, and trampling under foot
the sacred right ffuaraueed to us by our
Constitution, of a fair and impartial tri
al by jury, and,
Whereas, We fully believe our civil
and present military authority ample and
f -illy sufficient for the preservation and
protection of ihe persons and property of
our citizens, therefore be it
Resolved That Jayhawking or anti-
jayhawking, of whatever name or title.
unless authorized, known and acknowl
edged by Government, is a very danger
ous power in our midst, and it is our du
ty as law-abiding citizens to indignantly
frown down any and all attempts of the
kind, as being productive of anarchy and
destructive of civil liberty.
