The Jatest telegraphic reports say that

No Danger from Indians:
. . There eems .to be a prevalent opinien
in the Slates that here in Brownville, and
. in fact erery where in Nebraska,' we are
in iininent daDger of being overfin and
- rnasi acred by ! Indians. Almost -every
person here ' has received letters' from
friends'at'ihe'Estufgrng us to iramedi-
.ately ! abandon ' Nebraska, before we fell
victims to the ruthess lavage. Many of
the papers of the East seem to entertain
similar opinion. This 'idea may be very
natural to those, living at a distance, who
are ignorant of the vast extent of Nobras
ka, tbe.iocaticn of the Indians, and all
the circumstances connected . with our
Territory, and who have heard of the
murders committed in Minnesota. JBut it
' is, nevertheless, erroneous. It is true
that the tribes in the Western and Nerth
western portion of the Territory are hos
tile and have committed numerous depre
dations upon travelers going to the mines
on the Pacific Slope. Bat those Indians
live a thousand miles from here. From
the tribes living nearest to us numbering
in all but two or three hundred warriors,
the Pavvnees-and Otoes, their is no dan
ger apprehended. . -They are too nearly
subdued and know too well the power of
the whites to dare'assume a beligerant
attitude. Even they, the Pawnees at
.least, reside 250 miles from here. . There
are many, who .think all Nebraska is a
Tast wilderness or desert, over which the
barbarous savage and all manner of vild
beasts roam unrestrained, yet here .along
the river this is not the case ; we have
long ceased to be on the frontier. We
apprehend there is no more dangerjiere
of an attack front the Indians than there
is of the State of Ohio being overrun by
Turks or Tarters. ' ' .
The fact that a regiment of Cavalry
has " been called out in this Territory, to
be used to defend our frontier, may, per
bnps have confirmed those living at a
distance", in the opinion that we were in
great peril. This Regiment, however, is
iiitendd to he used in case the contingen
cy should arise, in the Spring, against
the Sioux, a thousand miles up the Mis
souri ; and to avenge past outrages, and
prevent like occurrences in the future,
committed by tribes living near the moun
lains separating Nebraska from Oregon.
Gen. Craig, who has" command of the
forces in Nebraska is now stationed a1
Ft. HaUeck, near the foot of the Rocky
Mountains, where the presence of sold
iers is absolutely necessary. ' -
We hnr -written this article to coun
teract in a small degree a false impres
tisn that txisti abroad. Those in the
Stiles who Tead the Advertiser, need har
bor no fear for their friends in' Nebraska.
Those recruits have not yet come to
hand though we have heard they are on
the way. It is to be wished that there
were four hundred of them so that ours
might be one of the largest as well as
ene of the best Regiments in the volun
teer service. There 13 some rumor of us
marching soon, but we know not where
Our field offices are not all filled yet, bu
we presume they soon will be, as it is left
with the Govenor.

The brief days of winter are upon us,
but they came not' unawares, although
they found us dwelling in houses whose
sides and ends and tiles are made of cot
ton, quite frail habitations to ward off the
freezing blasts ; of Ihe boreal regions.
No winter Quarters stand open nigbXand
day inviting us to enter and seek repose
for limbs aweary of this troublous mold.
No cessation from, the toils of marching,
the anxiety , and : cares of soldiering, ap
pears to await the members of the Ne
braska First until the Rebellion is crush
ed, or until nineteen months more run
their lunar rounds.' It is all well enough,
for then they will have the proud con
sciousness of having served their country
faithfully "and well, and will enter into
the pleasures of peace with a greater
Zest.
In my last I stated that Col. Livingston
had command of the 2d. Division in this
Army, since that Col. Boyd, of the 21th
Missouri Infantry. has returned (having
been absent,) and by virtue of seniority
commands the Division, but Col. Livings
ton commands the 2d. Brigade, consist
ing xf our Regiment and the 24th Mis
souri. Our drills and guards are heavy
here, and fatigues in large proportion.
Eighty odd men of our little Regiment on
guard every day, besides the endless
tours of fatigue, and the four hours drill
give constant employments to the sold
diers. ..Although Nature has donned the
robe of " russet hue," and the closing
hour of many a vegetable life has come
and tht heavy breathings of the dying
ear are heard, there seems to be some
thing that imparts a livelier tone to the
members of the animal world ; for them
there seems to be a tonic in the .very air,
and though now and then one sickens
and dies, men are more healthy and vig.
orous than they seem to' be at other
aeasons of the year.
If any mortal in the universal world
r.eed animal spirits brimming over with
the vital principle of life, the soldier
turely dott who is in the field of activ
ity. For if the brave soldier who stands
his lonely vigilant tour of picket, duty
during the winter's long, clear cold
nihti, need cot a fire within to warm
him tody and eoul, no mortal does who
tvcrLi this earth of ouri.

, Ma. Editor: -The hills surrounding
lhe village of Patterson obstruct the vis
ion no more, and the solitude of their
dells charms no more the warier sages if
anv such are in the armv known: but
now the glad waters of the bonnie Black
River, glide and glance down by our city
of canvas mansions, as on lhair long jur
ney to the Gulf they cheerily, smiling
glow, and these are as beautiful waters
as one might wish to see, and pure as
even, the nectar which Jupitor daily sips.
But even here, the loneliness is full as
gloomy as at Patterson : there is naught
more to be seen save the winding Riven
and naught more ' to be heard save the
light footfalls of the River's waters.
Still we are nearer the rebels under the
inevitable Jefif. Thompson, and "a little
excitement is kept afloat by that. No
troops of ours are here save what go to
constitute Colonel Livingston's Brigade,
and - we must necessarily . be on the ex
treme tiptoe of lookout and be ready, lest
we have another sad catastrophe like that
of the morning of April 6th. at Shilo,
Tennessee. But if the rebels ever catch
the Nebraska First napping, no matter
at what , hour of the twenty four, they
come, they are welcome to all they can
make and take, for they will be farmore
likely to rouse a lion than to disturb a
lamb. Jeff, is about 30 miles from us.
or was when last heard from, with six
thousand men, but he may be nearer now,
and if not now he will be if he remains at
Pocahontas, for we shall be most likely to
give him a friendly call and make him a
small present of a few " blue pills," and
a cold steel tonic by way of strengthening
his heaith so trial he need not travel so
much as heretofore in its pursuit.
Foraging is now the order of the day,
and the corn raised by the rebels during
last summer is laid under heavy contribu
tion for. Government purposes, also their
cattle when they can be found. It is a
wise policy and should have been adopted
long since, for our armies leave nothing
behind in the shape of subsistence for
man or house that . might appear in the
rebel cause and hover on their rear.-
This part of Missouri ;has been a depot
and storehouse for wanderingrc bcl hordes
and it is now time for it to be devastated
and laid waste This war might last for
years conducted on the same plan it has
been. Guard the rebels property take
nothing from them without paying them a
high price double its worth give.theni
safe guards, and passes to pass and re
pass our lines take them prisoners and
make them take the oath of allegiance
every . fortnight, and that is the way to
make this war last longer than the
Rases, or another war of 30 years length
in our Western. World. ;
In this dark corner of the world we
have no news scarcely, and when any
does come it is old to the world outside
Twenty-five recruits from the Territory
reached us before we marched from Pat
terson, Small favors thankfully received,
larger, ones in ratio. If the Territory
would send us twenty-five,' 12 or 13 times
more, then we would say that the Terri
tory did moderately well, but at the pres
ent writing it can only be said that she
turned out beggarly ! That nine months
cavalry will never bring her any renown,
and she has men in that whpm we would
not have any longer. Seud us more.

Diversity or Unman Races.
. continued.
3. The Tartar race differs remarkably
from the two preceeding. An olive and
tawny complexion, rough and gross fea
tures, eyes smaller and less opened, a
flattened and depressed nose, a contour
of a broad flattened face, a medium and
stout size, seem especially to character
ize it. From the southern part of Mon
golia and of China, even to the Glacial
Sea, from the Oby and the Caspian Sea,
even to Japan and to the extremities of
Kamtschtka, most cf the men seem to be
of Tartar race, and it is also to this race
that America seems to owe originally all
or almost all the aboriginal inhabitants
who were met with therein at the time of
Christopher Columbus, as we shall see
afterwards.
4. The Moors resemble the Negroes
by the nature cf their color, which is
black, although much lighter than that
of the true negroes: tbey differ from the
latter by a head of hair sleek and float
ing or pendant, by a more slender and
more proportioned size, by features less
rough and less difformed. The Negroes
and the'Moors (i not afford differences
sufficiently marked and sufficiently char
acteristic to warrant us m classing them
as two races primitively different. A
Moor is but an imperfect Negro ; a' Ne
gro i3 but a more forcible Moor: the in
habitant cf Guinea and of Ethiopia is 8
negro, thtt of Barbary is bua Moor. .:
The primitive country of the Moor is
in Africa and in Asia, within the torrid
zone or its vicinity. These we see in
other countries., either, on the old or on
the new continent, seem to come all or
iginally from that part of Africa and of
Asia.
Ther are, in America, some aborigin
al tribes whose hue at first resembles
that of the Negroes and Moors; but that
color is artificial and not natural. The
Indians of the new continent have gen
erally enough the mania of painting their
skin, even inwardly, and those who paint
themselves b'ack, look at the first glance
like real Negroes or real Moors. But
there is no indigenous American Indian
who is naturally black ; and we may con
sider it as a certain fact that the individ
uals or the small tribes, which are natu
rally black in America, are of an origin
primitively African or Asiatic.

, For tho Advertiser,
Mr. Editor; It appears that a certain
celebrated person has flourished for some
time in this vicinity and our neighboring
State to whom is attached the cognoman
of "Doctor" told his patient that his heart
was three inches too low; performed on
operation by which he said it was replac
ed, put a plaster round the patient's body
and gave him some medicine : In a few
days the man died in great pain having
great faith in the "Doctor"to the last.
A coroner's inquest was the result. Af
ter the examination of the wife of the
deceased the .renowned "Doctor" him
self was summoned before the jury, and
in order that the community may judge
of his talents and education and success
in his profession he shall speak for himself:

sy at rights . when I was seven, it was
dislocated. I have nivver taken no col
lege, but I have doctored for eight and
twenty years."
C. "What do you know about the de
ceased what did you do for him?"
D. " I put my hand on bis breast and
told him his chest was dislocated and fil
led with water, and his heatt was in the
wrong place. I gave him a small bottle
to take and a box of pills."
C. " What does it contain ?"
D. "Nothing but soap-suds. The pills
are anti-billious."
C. "what are they composed of?"
D. ' I don't exactly know what the
anti-billious is made on.' I buy them of
Lett."
C. " But how do you know that they
are anti-bilious ?"
D. "WThy they are."
C. "But how do you know that ?"
D. "Because he calls 'em so and they
are so on to t box." ;i
C. Do you know any one of the in
gredients of which they are composed ?"
D. "They are composed yes, tber'll
be a little phelosophe and soap and other
materials. There is soap in all pills.
Pills could not be made without."
C. "You say deceased had water on
his chest what did you do to him 1"
D. "I put a plaster on his chest and
phelosophered with him to keep it on. I
put my finger on hl3 chest ; to find the
nerve I and three men put his arms out
behind him and I placed my thumb on
different pans of his chest and pressed
gently."
C. " WThat had the three other men
to do?"
D. "They were to stick to him and
keep his arms moving, but not to punish
him."
C. "Did you tell him his heart was out
of place and three inches too low ?"
D. "Yes, I did sir?'
C. " What did you do to get it into its
right place ?"
. D. "I just pressed his heart till it beat
into its right place. I told him he would
be a sound man provided dropsy did not
take place."
C. " What kind of a plaster did you
put on him ?"
D "One of my own."
C. "What is jt?"
D. "One of my own."
C. "But what is it made of."
D. ' ."Stuff on purpose. I dont know
that I am compelled to till all te stuff its
made of." '
C. ' But probably you will have to
ell."
D. "Well then its nothing but bees
wax and rosin, and a little lard colored."
C. "When did you see the deceased
again?
D. "On the following Tuesday, and I
grumbled at him "for taking the plaster
off. He said he would not do so no more,
but he did. I phelosephied to him that it

it did. Well raonsure here is te widow,
she knows." .

out of its place' its nothing to rae. I told
him to be gentle with it."
C' "Did you ever see a man's heart?"
D. "Yes, many a one. I have seen

Fodder. . : ;
rWritton for the Nebraska Farmer."! " ' '
Mr. Ebiaoa: The pressure of large
numbers of cattle at the beginning of
winter and the apparent short supply of
fodder suggests the propriety of an arti
cle on fodder.
With the rapid increase of cattle and
hogs, the question, what shall we food
during winter, becomes an important one.
Hungarian grass seems to have been
abandoned by common consent, and. it
will not do to depend too much upon prai
rie hay." , , , , , "!
The upland grass is mostly too short
for profitable mowing and in dry weather
It is often difficult to find good mowing
on the bottom; and as cattle increase un
less they are restrained they will thin
out the best spots so as to make mowing
a slow business.
The experiment has not yet been suffi
ciently made with the cultivated grasses,
but the probability is that our soils are as
yet mostly too light to succeed well.
The corn crop in some form seems
to promise better than any thing else to
supply the lack. Here we can have a
choice, we can cut up and shock all our
corn early while the fodder is yet good
and thus save the stalks, or we can sow
ccrn.
To the first there are some serious ob
jections.. One is ; if we take off all our
stalks year after year, we shall soon
make eur soil poor.
I know there are many that scout the
idea of exhausting our rich prairie lands
and the majority farm with a reckless
ness which they will rue by and by.
Our richest lands yield the best crops
and we have not much land in its natural
state equal in its productiveness to the
highly cultivated lands of the East.
These facts show the importance of im
proving the condition of our lands from
the beginning.
To enrich our lajge fields by hauling
manure from the yard seems almost im
possible. The best way is to plow in a
fall crop of stalks and haul the manure
upon a few acres that we sow for fodder
The stalks " are somewhat in the way in
.plowing and cultivating the corn but the
advantage to the land ard the crop will
more than pay for the trouble.
, Another objection to depending upon
stalks for fodder is this ; before we can
get the corn cured fi t for the crib and
then huskedcattle usualy become troub
lesome and destrov more or less of the
0
fodder when it. is too late t repair the
mischief, while sowed corn may be cut f
cured, and stacked before the frost spoils
the pasture.
TIME OF SOWING. '
f Somt reccommend sowing corn in July.
To this time of sowing there are two ob
jections ; one is,.there is inore liability of
failure by drouth, and the other is, it
mu3t be cat at a time when the stalks are
so full ef juice as to require too much
laboin curing besides being likely to
spoil if the weather is very wet. I have
tried the experiment this year on a small
scale, but the result has been quite sal
isfactory4 both as to quantity and quality.
My plan js. to- sow in the month of
May and plow the corn in having a boy
to scatter the seed in every furrow.
If the corn be sowed-quite thick it will
still have a large amount of "small nub
bins. " These should begin to grow hard
before cutting, but not stand cjuite so late
as for a -crop- of corn. If the groth be
short it" may be cut"with a strong gradle,
but if tall a-cammen hemp hool; is bets.
Cut a lay it in small bunches to wilt a
day or toaici the sun; then bind in small
bundles ' and set in shocks for curing, and
when thoroughly ? cured stack it, and you
have fodder that cattle will .eat with, a
relish while , grass is , yet r plenty, A
small' patch" of hemp sowed will supply
material for bands.: .... .

in which all distinguished themselves.
Several bayonet charges took place.
The rebels are reported as having 15,

The principal fighting was a few miles
from ! Kingston, where the rebels were
entrenched, but after three hours fighting
they retreated towards Kingston, endea
voring to destroy a; bridge leading to that
place, 'but the. 9th New Jersey charged
over and saved it.
One division rapidly crossed when the
rebels retreated, one rebel brigade going
towards Goldsboro and the other towards

' Wealth of Great Britain.
A writer in the Edinburg Review esti
mates the property of Great Britain and
Ireland in 18oS :
Which is in ronnd numbers twenty-nine
thousand million of dollars. This is just
about 1,000 to each inhabitant.
By the last census returns the wealth
of the United Mates was estimated at
sixteen - thousand millions of dollars
about S500 tcf each inhabitant.
The tax for the support of the British
Government amounts to a little more than
one per cent, of tbe whole wealth of the
kingdom. This is in addition tohe city
and other local taxes, church tithes, poor

The Richmond Disp&ch of the 16th
says the rebel loss at the Fredericks
burg batle was 2,500; 1,100 wounded
had arrived there or were on the-vay

erals Gregg and Cobb and may field
officers. The 3d South Carolina regim

The same paper states that the reb

impregnable.' It also contains a dis
patch from Goldsboro, stating that
3,000 redeU fought the Abolitions at
Kingston, the'day before, from 8 o'
clock A. M. to 1 p.m. That after dri
ving the Abolitionists once, the reble
Gen. Evans was compelled to retire,

No report: of the loss was given.
The town was greatly injured by the
Union bombardment.
"Where Banks IsGolng.
The Chicago Times says Banks is go
ing to New Orleans.
But what will Gen. Banks do at New
Orleans. IVe are prepared to believe
that great and exceeding dread is about
to fall upen the rebels from this cause.
He has, come down to take possession of
the richest portion cf the rebel South.
He will be on the ground when the mail
ed hand of the President as Commander-in-Chief
lets in the light of liberty upon
the million slaves of that fairest region of
Se'cessia. He is there ready to seize and
enforce the great military necessity of
destroying slavery thai, tke Union, may
live. Take your map and a pair of com
aasse3, place ne point on New Orleans
ps a center, and the other on Apalachicola
Bay in Florida. Now sweep the circuit
northward -and westward and extend the
are until it touchesthegulf cast of Tex
as. ' This' is to be the field of operations
of General Banks. When ice and snow
thicken around the winter huts of Burn
side's army, the forces of Banks will find
no impediments in the season, to sweep
their entire field. ' '
It. is .full of the great staples of the
South. It is full of blacks, sent thither
for security from more perturbed regions
northward. It is full of rebels whose
hearts is only malice and hatred to the
Union, and from among whom loyal men
have been crushed out with an iron hand.
It is the innermost seat of the rebeillion,
the cherished center of which the Rap
pahannock line ' Is' but an outpots. Into
this centre has sailed General Banks.
. He has arrived in season for the 1st of
January. He will be to the South and to
civilization the almoner of the Presi
dent's great New Year's gift to humani
ty, a gift born of the necessities of this
war. Gen. Banks is there ready to com
mence at- the .very point of progress
where Gen. Hunter was stopped on the
19th of May last. The work of seizure
and confiscation and liberation will go on
apace. The President will open- flood
gates , with a full head on. Gen. Banks
has gone to take possession of the South,
and in two weeks the President will say,
in words of more import than were ever
before accorded to mere human utter

The Population of Mexico.
The present number of the Revue Con
iemporaine contains two articles oa Mexi
co, . by M. ..Vivan de Sr Martin, from
which we glean the following statements:
" The Mexican populaiion comprises
five1 different .classer1.- The whites,
constituting the aristocracy of the coun
try, and generally called Creoles. . They
are the direct decendants of the Span
iards, and their number is estimated at
300,009. 2. , Those who consider them
selves whites. They are the decendants
Spaniards and Indian parents. Few of
them are rich ; they chiefly follow the
military . profession or that of the bar, or
else hold situations under Government.
They have a marked aver&ion to every
kind of honest lebor, and constitute the
nucleus of the Republican party. Juares
belongs to this , class! which numbers
about 800,000.- 3. The Indians reduced
to a state of most abject misery and servitude-
They live in villages, and consti
tute the agricultural class.' Their num
ber is about 4,000,000 ; they still speak
the Aztec or old Mexican language.
