The recent speeches of John r Van
Buren, James . T. Brady, . and other
leading Democrats ; the position ta
ken by the N. Y.' JTearal, and other
Democratic papers, .in favor of still
prosecuting the war ; the evident dis
pondence manifested by Southern pa
pers, and more than all, the great de
cline in the premium on Gold, gives
Union-men cause to expect favorable
results during the Spring Campaign.
It is not thought probable that there
'will be any battle soon at Vicksburg.
It is probable the intention is to cut
th that
tplace, and compel them to surrender
without a battle.
The rebels, no doubt, havc sent a
portion of their army from Fredericks
burg to East Tennessee and Kentucky,
.on account of. the scarcity of provis
ions. Fears were entertained- that
Kentucky was to be overrun, and that
Lexington, Louisvilie and Cincinnati
might soon be in danger. It -was
thought their object wa3 to detract
Federal troops "away from Vicksburg,
Murfresborough and the Potomac
But it now appears their object was
only to make a raid for provisions.

On-Saturday last the Sain Gaty,
while ca her way from St. Louis to
Omaha, was robbed at Sibley's Land
ing, Mo., by guerillas. ' They took all
i.tho soldiers and negroes on .shore ;
ililled two soldiers and nine negroes.
They rifled all the public and private
baggage, and took all the money and
property they found. Their intention
was to burn the boat, but at the urgent
"solicitation of the Captain, they con-
tented tncmselves bj -destroying an
the Government, together with con
siderable private property. ,-They
tbrew overboard 300 sacks of flout in-

One passenger lost $1,000 in cash.
The4 Brownville Advertiser. I m reply
to our remark that'Kansai will furnish
enough lnen to make one or more com
panies of the 'Nebraska Cavalry, says
that if she doe so, it will only b? paying
back a tithe of the men that Nebraska
has furnished for Kansas repiments-
Let's see. A tithe is the tenth part.-
Two companies contain, about two hun
dred men.' Well, 2,000 men from Ne
braska in Kansas regiments, is J doing
r;ght well. This is equal to two regi
ments. We should like -to 'know --what
two regiments they are. Mr. Advertis

Not much Brother Miller. If you will
read our article you will find you mis
quoted us. We said; '.. .. . j , '
"If the Nebraska 2d Caralry should
get 20 or 30 men from Kansas, it will
not be paing us back a tithe 'of the num
ber of Nebraskians who enlisted in Kan
sas Regiments.
Ten times 20 are 200. -If -two hun
dred is an exageration, it at least comes
as near the truth as you da when you

We have not the means of ascertain

however, that in the Kansas 2(,Co.'G,'
Captain Matthew, was enlisted at Brown
ville, and a majority , were -citizens of
Nemaha, Richarscn and ! Pawnee Coun

Company, we think it is Co. "II," Kan

Nebraska! We alo received a privae
letter last summer f rem a soldier in an
ether Kas. Regiment, in which he stated
that- he had counted 61 men from Ne

the Overland-Stage Line,1 to Bridger, or
Salt Lake; from thence. North to the',
mines. The old route by Laramie, and
the Sweet- Water, has been abandoned
by the mail, line on account of the In
dians. It is not considered safe to go the
old route. Trqops will, doubt!es?,.o.nly be.
stationed along the present route of the-.
-Overland Stage Line,- who will afford
ample and undoubted protection to em

ed, the beauty and benefits of creating -a
military necessity." They .did not kill
any' one. ' Capt. Allen sent a 'squad" of
soldiers in pursuit, under command cf
Lieut,- Branly. - An Indian, supposed to
be 'one of' the band, was overtaken . and
surrounded oft the North Platte. A fierce
conilict ensued,' in. which. .the Lieutenant
was. severely wounded in the left arm,
and. the Indian - killed. I Another com

immediately; coming "upon the'-enemy

of - Tn-jch ' promise, and loved by( all their
comrades, and their names should be re

the fit Ids of battle. The storm may now
sweep otfer their lonely graves, but their
quiet ; slumbers cannot.be disturbed.
They, "sleep that sleep which know no
waking" until the dawning of the great
resurrection morn, when the mountains,
as well as, .the sea shall give up their
dead. It is sad to die at home surround
ed by loving friends and kindred, but oh,
how sad io be thus snatched from earth
to eternity ! but after life's last struggle,
let u indulje the hope,' that they are
where storms rage not, where death and
pain ate never felt !" Though their bod

basking in the sunshine . of Heaven !

We have been here about one week dur

Col. L. has sent reinforcements to Gen.
McKeil, and.has received from him, and
forwarded to St. Louis a large number of

corniiunded by LieutJPolock.
A mutiny occurring in l a cavalry reg
iment, the Col. m.irched his trusty 1st.
Nebraska into' the camp ef the mutineers,
and ordered their ' bugles sounded and
sent them ofTonuty, on the double quick.
He pr0?nected' for a bridge in the -back
county' twb. days' after his arrival here,
collected a working party of " gentlemen
from.' Africa,", detailed .company G. for
superintendence, and put the job at once
in progress. Shut up the liquor shops,
looked it the sanitory condition of camps
and towns ; a'nd inspected the Qurtermas
ter and Commissary Departments whence
the army wst', of us - must be supplied,
and brought order generally out of "chaos.
. His compliments from citizens and the
commander of the' army of southeast Mo. ,
are ol the most fiatterinsr kind. The
men are generally well and in better
spirits than for the past year. .
