THE ADVERTISER, T. It. FISHER. EDITOR. - EROWyYIUC, SiTlTRDAY, APRIL 25. 1SS3. HASS 1EETING. ; xjjsrioisr le A.axjE. Do nut forget to attend the Mass Meet ing in Brjjwnville, on Saturday, May 2d. We had intended to publish in this paper :he Constitution. By-laws, and Pledge of the "National. Union League of Cincin nati ;" but we have not room this week. No friend of , his country will object to any of its provisions, or to the strong grounds taken against the enemies of free government. It is, in short, a plat form upon which all true patriots may unite a banner under which all may battle fcf our glorious Constitution against the assaults of foreign foes , or domestic traitors. . - Several Distinguished speakers will be in attendance. Let all Union men turn out. Devote one day to ytu country. Fasting and Prayer, Next Thursday is set apart by the President of the United States as a day of fasting and prayer. Tbeje will be religious service at the First Presbyteri an Church at half past ren. A sermon will be preached by Rev. A.. G. White. Citizens are all invited to attend. We Take It all Back. A few week ago, in noticing the change in the editorial department of the Omaha Ncbraskian, we expressed the belief that its tone would be somewhat changed ; that Mr. Rey nolds, though a "Democrat, was not a Copperhead." But the leading arti cles in that papor, since he became "editor, has induced us to change our opinion. . We beg pardon for having Entertained any such suspicions. Mr. Reynolds may deny being a secession ist they all do that. There is per haps not a fugitive from Price's army in Nebraska, who will actnowedge that he now has any sympathy with the rebels ; nor do we believe that Mr. Reynolds i3 really a rebel, or that he desires" their success; but he, like a great many more, is willing to go with his party, wherever it may lead, even to the bottomless pit. In his paper of the 17tb, imitating the Cincinnati En quirer, is a long article eulogizing Peace. Why such an article at this time? All good men, of course, de plore war, but there are times when it is inevitable. St. Paul says there is a time for all things. This is certainly not a proper time for any patriotic man to prate of Peace.. Every man who has even half sense, knows we can not now have peace except by a permanent dissolution of the Union. Six months ago if such an aiticle had appeared in the 'Ncbraskian, Mr. R. would have Considered it "deserving contempt and bitter scorn, on account of its disloyal course." Twelve months 850 either one of the present proprie tors of the Nelraskian, would have denounced, without mercy, any Dem ' crat who would have hinted at Peace, and would have indignantly denied any, affiliation with . the Vallandig hamers. Mr. It.'.s quite familiar, with scripture, lie will pardon us for re ferring to the parable of the sower. The'-seed" that' fell upon stony places where they had not much earth, forthwith sprung up because they had no deepness of earth ; and when the iun was up, they ware, scorched ; and because they had no root, they with ered away." "He that receiveth the seed in stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it: yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for awhile ; for when trib ulation or persecution ariseth because cf the word, by and by he is offended." Mr. R., and others, termed by Mayor Wood "milk and -water Democrats," "with joy received the word ;" for a time no one could doubt their patriot ism, but their love for the Union did not have sufficient root. The leaders of their party opposed the war, they taw their party was slowly but surely drifting into that channel, and they could not withstand the temrjtation to follow.' - - .We believe their arc yet many loyal Union men in the presentDemocratic organization. But the time has come. when they should- leave it. They must do it sooner or later, cr. become the allies of Jeff. Davis. Two-thirds of the Democratic papers are now des voting nine-tenths of the - space of I heir columns in attempts to build up party in faTor of a Dissolution of 'the Union.- " What signifies an assertion of a news paper that it ia in favor of suppressing the rebellion, if column after column is devoted to denunciations of every measure devised to suppress it? Theceore Hill has received a' new t'.cck cf goodi, selected with care, which he will sell as cheap as any ether House ! h U Wen. Hon. O. P. Mason has been elected Colonel of the Second Brigade, Nebraska Militia. Preaching in the Presbyterian Church on Thursday, April 30th, at ten and a half o!clock. ' We ore requested by Mr. Hill to in form the public that his store will be closed or: next Thursday, the day set apart for fasting and prayer. " . . i Religious. There will be service in the Methodist Church on next Sunday, the 26ih, at half past ten, A. M., and at half past seven in the evening. RisicsrD. -Brig. Gen. Crai. Com mander of the troops in Nebraska, has resigned his corrmission. . This will be regretted, not only by the soldiers, but by our citizens generally. 1 Confectionary. We see that Phil Denser has remodeled the building owned by himself on Main Street, (formerly cut up into small rooms, and occupied as officers, &c.,) has fitted it up in neat style, and opened out a first rate, new Confectionary.. We wish him success. The latest News. . The following is a synopsis of the dis patches by the last bulletin : At Memphis, on Satuiday last, a reconnoitering expedition of three regi ments were sent out. At Hernando and also on the Coldwater, they encountered squads of rebels, whom they routed, cap turing about one hundred prisoners. Marmaduke, with loOO or 2000 rebels is now at a poinfin Missouri, a few miles south of Pilot Knob. " One battle has been fought between the rebels and Col. Smart, commander at Pilot Knob. The news from New Orleans is of much importance-. The Rebel army had evacuated Centreville, but it is thought they will yet bo captured, as they are surrounded. The Ram Qtieun of the West had been retaken from the rebels. The Capiain and crew were prisoners. - Dispatches from Washington intimate that Admiral Dupont may perhaps be ordered to make another attack- upon Charleston. Changed Publishers. We have received a copy of the South Western Iowiarij published at Sidney, Fremont County, Iowa, by. Gray & Harvey. Judging from the contents of the first number, we suppose the paper will advocate the interests of the anti-war faction of the Democracy.- They start out with a very commendable resolui tion to avoid personalities. -They say : "la our County, as well as State elections, we will be expected to sus tain the Democratic nominees, but in doing so we shall avoid all personal abuse of the candidates of the opposi tion. In fact,, as we know that all parties have honorable and true men, and as it is natural to suppose that candidates will be selected from this class, we shall make it our business to deserve their friendship." Destination of Nebraska Second. The Nebraska Second -Regiment has Feen ordered to Sioux City, Iowa; from there it is supposed the intention is to send them to Minnesota. This order takes the soldiers by surprise. - They were enlisted under a solemn pledge that they would be retained in this Territory for protection "to the frontier. There might be some excuse for it if they were really needed in Minnesota, but such is not the case. Many of the soldiers left their families, thinking they would re main in this Territory, and would be able to protect them . more effectually than if they were at home with them. We doubt not the, officers and men are anx ious to be sent, where thty can be of most service to the country. .But they think that would be either in Missouri or on the frontier in Nebraska. There is no danger here along the river from In dians, but the travel over the Mountains f will need protection, and the Nebraska Regiment by-being stationed along the line of travel, would dispense with the necessity of regular troops. Proceedings of the Presbjterj. The Presbytery of Missouri River met in Plattsmouth, N. T., April 9th, 1863. Had a very pleasant and har monious meeting. Rev. James II.

A Washing ton special says, those who are in possession of all that i3 known subject to relations with Great Britain feel, and haVe reasons to be more hopeful of a pacific solution of the pending questions than they were a few days ago. T-r think England begins to see herVuirors in a way that she will either through agency Courts or other means, stop the fleet now being fitted out at her ports from going to sea. All' evidence of late, point , in this direction. , - . The President, Secretary of War and Provost Marshal General were again1 in consultation yesterday over the; appointments under the enroll ment act. Gen. Abercombe is ,to assume command of the concentrated forces for the defense of Washington souch. of the Potomac. Gen. Casey retains his position as commander and organizer of provisional brigades, with headquarters at ; Washington, . both under Heintzelman. A Herald's dispatch says, a report is prevalent to-day that the rebel cavalry which have been hoverin around Bull Kun mountains and Cul ... . pepper, have been surrounded by the expedition sent out by Stahl and that their capture is almost certain. This report is generally credited. The Charleston Mercury of the 1 1th pays Fort Sumter, although somewhat pitted to-dap, is, we believe as it was as the fight began. We deem that if the attack is renewed again as before, and tnere is cooa reason to believe it will be, six monitors, iron clads, will come out the defeated party with worse results than those in the first attempt., A Fort Monroe letter of the 16th, says, from deserters it is ascertained that Longstreet, in person, commands the rebels near Suffolk, also, that the greatest portion of the rebel army has been withdrawn from the Rappahan nock, and are concentrating in eastern Virginia and North Carolina. . - Rebel telegrams from Charleston the 13th,. says, all quiet.

Suffolk let ters report that our forces hold Nan semond river sixteen miles, and have defeated every attempt of the rebels a. ! a. ? mi i io gei in our rear, ine reoeis ex pect to . bring against us, including reinforcements from Gen. Hill, sixty thousand men. A delay of the enemy in making the attack is good, as rein forcements to ui of 10,000 men will soon be here. .Longstreef expressed the opinion that Suffolk wa3 too well fortified for him with his present force to risk a direct assault. A Norfolk letter expressed the opinion that there will be no great battle at Suffolk. We outnumber the enemy there, and have the advantage of strong en trenebments, unless Gen. Peck takes initiative;advance8 on the enemy. The Philadelphia enquirer publishes an account of the late expedition from the; army of Gen. Hooker A letter dated at Freeman's Ford the 16th, says on Monday morning an expedi. tion under Maj. Gen. Stoueman, con sisting of cavalry, infantry and artil lery, left their encampments. A por tionr of cavalry alone proceeded to Bristlesbarg and there encamped ; another cavalry force bivouacked at Elk irun,- another portion of the cav airy force,. with a battery, encamped at Morri8ville, a fourth accompanied by a brigade of infantry and two bat teries or artillery remainvd for the night at Grace. Church. . Before day light that portion of those encamped at Bristerbarg sent two squadrons of the 8th and 9th Illinois with instruc tions to proceed to Warrenton and thence to 3ulpher Springs, and await orders. The remainder of this force were ordered to Liberty. The squadron sent toward Warren- ton came- upon several detached bodies of Partisian Cavalry, to each of which they gave chase captured some and wounded others. . Upon reaching the springs they forded the river and continued down the oppo site side as far as Freeman'&Landin. The roads becoming impassable, they were obliged to return to the point; at which Xhey -crossed. Tho division which remained at Elk Run left before daylight for Bealton, on the railroad leading to Gordoavillee. -This divis- ion is now lying m , tne woods near this, points Those remaining near Morrisville, moved to Kelley's Ford nd there discovered the first organ ized body of the enemy. Preparations were made to dislodge them. After throwing a shell or two the rebels retired, leaving the ford in. our pos session. -A portion of the first were sent up the riverto the Rappahannock bridge to hold and prevent its spolia tion. The remaining division pro ceeded to Liberty. They met with . . - r a their ability to retard us should our leaders determine here to cross. A Port 'Royal letter of the 13th gays our Monitors, making eight in all, arrived here yesterday. The pro peller Haze has just arrived at Port Royal freighted with iron plating for Monitors. . lhe decks are all to be strengthened by this arrival in this way and additional coppering. A few days perhaps weeks will find them stronger than bafore the attack on Charleston. . The Commercial has a rumor that Sec. Stanton has resigned. It is contradicted by another, who says that the matter has been compromised. The Post has a report from an officer who left the Army of the Potomac on Saturday, that Gen. Stoneman wa3 heard from on Saturday afternoon. He had reached Culpepper, where 3000 rebels were surprised and cap tared. A number of Harris's Light Cavalry were killed in a previous skirmish.

The City of Baltimore from Liverpool the 8th and Queenstown the 9th, arrived this morning. The new gunboat Alexan dria, built by Miller & Co., of Liver pool, and recently launched, was seized in one of the Liverpool docks the 5th by the (?ustora House author ities on suspicion of being intended for the rebels. The matter will be fully investigated before an proceed ings are taken, beyond the detention of the vessel. Ths London Star. con siders the event an exceedingly good omen, and demands the prosecution of the . builders. The correspondence qetween the owners of the Peterhoff and foreign ' officers is published. Russel says the examination of the papers having satisfied the -government that no prima facia ground for capture is shown, the seizure is wholy unjustifiable, and they have instructed Lyons to make immediate represen tation of the circumstance to the Washington Government, and if no legal -grounds for the capture is al leged, this case, like others must fol low the ordinary course. It is repor ted that two well known American merchants arrived in London to dis pose of two million sterling six, per cent. United States Bonds, and with part of the proceeds buy up all vess els building in England for the con federates. It is also reported that they were authorized to negotiate a loan of ten or twenty millions ster ling. The confederate loan touched three per cent discount but rallied to one and a half.
