I- THE ADVERTISER. T. U. FISHER. EDITOR. BR0W5VILLE, piTCRDAT, MAT tV 1863. A Warning. Events vrhich have recently trans plred have produced among the peo ple of this community the solemn con ccnviction that for the sake of the peace and quiet of our count, no stranger should be allowed to settle among us unless he can produce sat isfactory evidence of being a loyal man. ($e may as well state that it is the firm resolve of the people of this county not to allow, hereafter, any rebel sympathizer to gain a residence among us. By following th'13 course no violence will be done to any one. It is not requiring any one to sacrifice their property, home, or business. Hundreds of Secessionists have aban donedor been banished from Missouri and settled in Nebraska. The proper place for all such is the land of Dixie, and the sooner they go there, the better for them and us. . G. C.'s In Ncraaba Connty. It has been believed for several months that one or more lodges of the Knights of the Golden Circle exist in this county ; but who were members, or rhere they met, was not positively known. During January many Dem ocrats and others from different parts of the county were invited to meet somewhere midway between Brown lille and Peru, for the purpose of organizing a secret society. Most of those invited assert that they knew nothing of the object of the meeting; but that they had considered it unnec essary, and perhaps uiischievous, and declined attending. About the time of this meeting certain of those engaged in getting it up were observed to make misterious threats, sufficient to alarm Union men who heard of them, and to call for the strictest vigilance from Col. Furnas, Capt. Hill and Lieut. Maun, of Neb. Cavalry. . They however, made no arrests, thinking it better to let them 'have rope,' until the matter should .'assume a more tangible shape. Last week certain citizens of London and Tern, having what they considered ample evidence as to certain parties being members of this dangerous, dis loyal coKelave, visited and disarmed them. One of them confessed, and gave a partial list of members. On Saturday evening the Union men Brownville held a. meeting, and ap- pointed'a committee to visit several of the Knights, and search for the papers of the society. 'No papers, however, vere found. They all confessed to being members ; were led into it like the poor dog Tray; were at first invi ted to attend a Democratic meeting, and after they got there it was pro posed to organize a lodge of the K. G, C's; and they, without much reflec tion, consented ; and were all initial ted r ch one declares he disapproved of it; was opposed to any secret or ganization, and never attended but once or twice. They all profess loy alty 'r are in favor of the Union ; defy the world to produce a single instance where they have expressed a disloyal sentiment, &c, &c. It is possible some of them were led ignorantly into it, with no criminal or disloyal intentions. But one or more of them who profess the greatest in nocence, did last winter invite men to join the society,, saying if they did so their property should never be jay hawked; that they would soon be strong enough ta rule the county ; and that they were going to warn the Union men away from the upper bot tom; thot one or more union renters in the bottom had already been in formed that thev were not wanted. The order of the Knights of the Golden Circle is an institution that existed in the South previous to the commencement of the War, and by means of it the original Rebels were enabled to "fire the Southern heart;" and, in short, to inaugurate the War. After the War commenced, efforts- were made by designing Rebels ta extend it into the .North. Their Oath and Constitution may be differ ent in the Free States from what it is in the Border States, but the fruits of th organization are everywhere the same, viz;, opposition ta the Govern ment; opposition to-the War; to the Conscription Act;- to the return of deserters ; and to the collection of the War Tax. Thousands of the members in the army have deserted and joined the enemy. It is difficult to oonceive how any man could have been so ig norant as to "suppose (as some pre ttnd to) the organization perfectly loyal." The organiiation in this county, if wt hare learned the whole truth, was merely primary. They were to re ceive their instructions of somebody from Flattsmouth; but they became alarmed and discontinued their meet ings. The oath taken was very sim pleto support the "Constitution, the Lawn, and the Democratic Party." Apparently not very criminal ; but when wc consider that their speakers and newspapers declare that all the War acts of the Administration are unconstitutional, and the. oath binds its members ta support the Constitu tion and the Democratic Party, the inference deducted is to oppose, by all their power, the War measures of the Administration. This programme carried out is the destruction of our Government. Virtually they are as much traitors, and really do more harm than if they were in the armed ranks of the enemy. They are so considered by Government and by the Military authorities, as will be seen by the following, taken from a recent order by the commander of this de partraent, Gen. Curtis : "Oncers or men sent by the enemy within our lltie to recruit. thereby Inciting insurrection, become them selves (when not indeed actual spies) militiry msir gents. Su.h. also, are Kni?uts of the Golden Circle, and members of other secret ergamxatmus, lookmc to aur opp- aitiou to tde laws ot tie United States, belaj In the nature of conspirators. Whoever shall be couviced a military Insurgent shall suffer death, accordin? to too u-ases of nations, by sentence of a Mil liUry Coinmiss wo." It declares the K. G. C's to be military insurgents, and all military insurgents must, on conviction suffer death. Rnraors bj Telegraph. We do not publish very much tele graphic matter in this number of the paper, for the reason that the reports that come one day would be contra dicted next. One day we were in formed that Gen. Keys hud advanced up the peninsula and taken Rich mond, Stoneman's raid having pre vented re-inforcements from coming to protect it. The next day the tele graph is silent on the subject, but the third day it is contradicted, and an other report is sent that Lee has evacuated Fredericksburg, Hooker repressed the river, and is following after Lee as fast as possible. This is confirmed by repeated dispatches, going minutely into details. The next day nothing further is said, and finally on the third day this whole story is contradicted. These false rumors do not come from Washington, but from correspondents of the New York and Philadelphia papers, and are probably set afloat to affect the gold market. A Copperhead City. In Dayton, Ohio, where there is a larger secession element than usual in tho public schools, numbers of children have been expelled because they wore on their clothing the em blems of our nationality, such as but tons with the American eale, flarj pins with the stars and stripes, and red, white, and blue rosettes. These, by the satellites of Jeff. Davis, are called "partisan emblems." Union Sleeting at Brownrille. A Union meeting was held at Brownville, on Saturday last, which is said to have been one of the largest gatherings of people ever seen in any part ot JNebraska. J. he people froai adjoining counties and from the neigh boring counties in Missouri turned out en mass, and spent the whole day. Col. 0. P. Mason, of this city, in com pliance with an invitation, delivered a Union speech on the occasion, which was duly appreciated and loudly ap plauded. The people of Nemaha Co. are up with the times and are not backward in manifesting their senti ments in the National question of a perpetuation of our free institutions, or a wreck of everything we hold dear. The Union of our fathers, the peace and quiet guaranteed and afforded by the great charter of liberty. Union meetings are being held at every city, town and neighborhood of the loyal states, Union Leagues formed,-and every measure adopted that is likely to conduce to the benefit of the country. This is encouraging, and we see no reason why our city should not move in the matter. Wc are no less blessed than our neigh bors, and we can certainly appreciate the benefits arising from these meet ings which arc giving a healthy tone to public sentiment. Let us have a Union meeting. 1 'ms, Nebraska City. We see by the Cass County Senti nel that the Spring, term of the Ore apolis Seminary commenced on the 11th of this month, under the super vision of George McLaughlin, formerly teacher of Ancient Languages in Willonghby Collegiate Institute, Wil loughby, Ohk; Tuition per terra of eleven weeks i Primary, $&-,00 ; Sci entific, $4,00 ; Classic, 5,00. Pay able, one-half at the beginning, and one-half at the middle of the term. The latest by telegraph, ami which does not appear in our telegraphic- columns is that Stonewall Jackson is- dead, from the effects of a wound re ceived at Fredericksburg. Also that Grant has fought a battle and whipped tho enemy near J&ckson, Miss., and afcerwards fell back- awaiting reinforcements. AE31V TOKIiESFONOESCE. .From the 'ebraka First. - . , Cape Girardeau Atay :n, 18G. Alitor JV'ontfl-a Adeertiitr ; f Again the First Nebraska has been in a fight, and has come out as usual, remarkably clear of lossevttml with additional honors. You havenhdoubt edly published the general account of the fight, as telegraphed all over the country; and it only remains for me to speak of our own Regiment. The part all others took in the transaction was satisfactory to officers, and flat tering to friends. . . ' Col. Livingston having been called to duty at Saint Louis, the command of this post devolved on Lieut. Col. Baumer; and when the news came here that Gen. McNeil would have to fall back on this place from Bloomfield, fortyfive miles west, the Col. called out the Missouri Stato Malitia, had the guns put in readiness on the forts, and prepared for an attack at any time. Thursday, April 23d, General McNeil reached here, and his troops on Friday. Saturday noon, Colonel Baumer lead out the First Nebraska and Whelfhy's Battery, and placed them in line of battle. Indeed the Colonel's good military skill told so clearly where, and how, an attack would likely be made, that he had skirmished with his Regiment over the very ground he then occupied, in order to give them a knowledge of "the ground where they should shortly lie." And there they reposed till the opening of the ball. All demands for a surrender by Marmaduke and his 10,000 rebels, reported by him as 60,000, were spurned by Gen. McNeil. You know the General is the same for whose delivery to the rebels Jeff. Davis very modestly demanded of President Lincoln ; and of whose mode of disposing of bushwhackers, the English rebel press has spoken protestingly. He is a live American, a bold, true General, and much of an honorabe gentleman. At midnight on Saturday, the Chaplain was requested to get the ambulances, and remrve the ten wives of Nebraska officers, with the greater part of the officers' chfl dren, to some place of safety. And the general order being given for the women and children of 'the town to go on board boats, all were removed at daylight to the Illinois shore, five miles north. The town is surrounded on the line of a semi-circle, with four forts, defended by seige guns, except ing UD," down the river. Fort "A' is in the upper part of town command ing the river; "B commands the Jackson road, coming in at the north west, and "C" the Bloomfield road from the southwest. If Brownville were fortified as this is, Fort "A would be on the bluffs north of Mc- Pherson's old store room on the wharf. Fort "B" would be where the grave yard is, and would command the Peru road; "C" would be out on the hill east of Kelly's, and would command that road, and "D," without guns would be south on the bluffs where Dr. Gwin built his brick houses. When the fight came on, on Sunday, a gunboat lay off in the river opposite fort "D," so that supplied the absence of guns at that point. McNeil had, in all, only 2,400 men. The attack was made on the line fronting fort "B," our Regiment having been posted, with the Battery, out in advance of the forts, so as to fight them first, hand to hand, if nec essary, in the open field, Co. F and G were posted with two guns, off to the northwest to guard against a flank movement from that point. Company II was on duty at St. Louis. B and D were next -in position, to support two guns. The other five companies wero to sustain four guns, in line between forts "B" and "C." First, companies C and I advanced as skir mishers to the edge of the woods, where the rebels were posted. The Cavalry were posted as reserves, and the balance of Infantry. The infan try fighting was done by the First Nebraska. Col. Baumer had a Gen eral's command on- the field, and Cap. Majors was acting Major, on horse back, his horse receiving a ball through the neck. Lieut Moore and Sergt. John Gillespy were Aids of the Colonel ; and- Lieut, McDonald was Adjutant of the Regiment, and- has acted in that capacity since xVdjutant Cramer has been Post Adjutant. -Adjutant Cramer wa3 on the staff of General McNeil, andy as usual, was about the size of Napoleon, prompt, intelligent, and brave: Sergt. Gilles py deserves great credit for volun teering as an Aid, while his true place was in th-e Q. M. Dep., free from great danger. But he always is ready for duty on the field, and carries orders among bullets and shells as self-possessed-as one proof against shot and powder. Lieut. Griffin supi plied the ammunition, as army ord nance officer. And as it would re quire too much time in which tor par ticularize further, I have only to say that every Captain and Lieutenant non-commissioned officer and man, did his duty. Two of our men were shot dead one of A and one of I. Chace of C, received a wound on the arm Tucker (Sergeant) a slight wound. As soon as the rebels were toundto be in full retreat, all the troops were ordered out for an effort to capture them, and our Regiment has been absent six days without a tent to pro tect them from the rain. We expect them back in a day or so. We are inclined to believe that our next move will be to St. Louis. On the battlefield McGinni3, a jolly son of Erin, of Company C, was de cidedly "fired up," and when the com pany was ordered to change position, he declared he would not leave his post, and so stuck to his post, till the rebels came up and relieved him. He is a prisoner. Rebel officers complimented the coolness of the 1st Nebraska, and the ability of our gunners. They had a good chance to judge. If other items of interest come to my knowledge, you will hear again from Nebraska. Charge and Specification against uemant L.:vallandlghani. Charge. Publicly expressing, in violation of General Order No. 38, from Headquarters Department of the Ohio?1iis sympathies for those in arms agairiit the Government of the United States, declaring disloyal sentiments and opinions, with the object and purpose of weakening the power of the Government in its efforts to sup press an unlawful rebellion. Specification. In this, that the said Clement L." Vallandigham, a citizen of the State of Ohio, on or about the 1st day of May, 18G3, at Mount Vernon, Knox county, Ohio, did publicly address a large meeting of citizens, and did utter sentiments in words, or in effect as follows, de claring the present war "a wicked, cruel, ana unnecessary war: a war not being waged for the preservation of the Union ; a war for the pur pose of crushing out liblierty and erecting a despotism : ' "a war for the freedom of the blacks and the en. al.ivpmpffr. nf trip wriifpa" cNtinrr w w m. w a v w .awwry U VM till j "that if the Adraidistration had so wished, the war could have been horn orably terminated months ago ;" that "peace might have been honorably obtained by listening to the proposed intermediation of France ;" that "propositions by which the Northern States could be won back and the South be guaranteed their rights under the Constitution, had been rejected theilar before the late battle of Fredericksburg by Lincoln and his minions ; meaning thereby the Pres ident ot the United States and tnose under him in authority. Charging "that the Government ot the United States were about to appoint Military Marshals in every district, to restrain the people of their liberties, to deprive them ot their rights and privileges. , Characterizing General Order No. 38' from Headquarters, Department of the Ohio, as "a base usurpation of arbitrary authority, "inviting his hearers to resist the same by saying, 'the sooner the people inform the minions of usurped power that they will not submit to such restrictions upon their liberties, the better;'" declaring "that he was at all times, and upon all occasions, resolved to do what he could to defeat the attempts now being made to build up a mon archy upon the ruins of a free Gov ernment;" asserting "that he firmly believed, as he said six months ago, that the men in power are attempting to establish a despotism in this coun try, more cruel and more oppressive than ever existed before." All of which opinions and senti ments he well knew did aid, comfort, and encourage those in arms against the Government, and could but influ ence in his hearers a distrust of their own Government and symnathy for those in arms against it, and a dispo sition to resist the laws of the land. J. M. CUTIS, Judge Advocate Department of the Ohio. New York. May 12. The Herald's letter from West Point, Va., the 9ih, reports Gen. Keys constantly in the saddle, and says, 'you may look for stirring news from here suddenly". The Times dispatch from ihe army of Potomac the 9th says: our wounded are comming over rapidly. The figures of the total loss are being much diminished by returning stragglers. The Richmond Knquirer of the 7th, says, Col. Edgar's battalion eight hundred strong at Lewis burg, Greenbriar county, were surprised by one thousand Yankee Cavalry late on Friday night last. Edgar rallied his men and beat the rebels off, killing eleven and capturing seven wounded and four not wounded. Graftow, Va.,-May 11. The rebels under Jackson; Imboden, Jones and'Jenk- ers are retreating towards Southwest Mountains. There are now no' rebels on the lines of railroad in Western Vir ginia. A General Court-marshal has been codvened at this place by order of Gen. Cook, and is now in session. The fol lowing officers compose the Court r Lieut. Col. Pollock, Capt. Calligarv and Capt. Cram, of the 6th Iowa: Capt. Marshall, Lieut. Maun and Lieut. Hewett of the 2d Nebraska, with Lieut. Maun. A. D. C, as Judge Advocate. -Sioux Ciiy Re gister. BY TELEGRAPH. Philadelphia, May 9. The bulle tin of this city publishes the following highly important intelligence this evening: AVe learrt from one of the editors of the Philadelphia Inquirer, that one of their correspondents, who has just returned from Washington, informed them that Gen. Joe Hooker recrosed the llappahanuock in force yesterday, the men carrying eight days' rations with them. It also learn3 from another source that is vouched for as reliable, that Gen. Keyes has taken Richmond, having advanced upon it via York town, and that the Federal Hag floats over the rebel Capitol. If this intelligence is true, Hooker's falling back was the ruse that the real advance upon Richmond was to be made while Lee's artn'y was on the Rappahannock.. If Gen. Stoneman has cut off the communications of Gen. Lee, 'is reported, it will be a work of time for Gen. Lee to reach the rebel Capital. In the meantime Hooker is on his heals. LATER. We have confirmation from a per fectly reliable source, that General Hooker has recrossed the Rappahan nock. Geld has been falling rapidly to-day, and this fact has probably re sulted from the important movements reported. We have no quotation of the price of the precious metal since the report of this important news. The telegraph is silent concerning the startling intelligence which has already startled Third and Chestnut streets, exciting the utmost enthusiasm. LATEST. It is reported that private advices have been received in this city from Fortress Monroe, stating that 10,000 troops arrived there on the 5th inst., as reinforcements, and immediately moved forward for an attack on Rich mond. There is no doubt that Gen. Hooker has rccrossed the Rappahan nock. It is also stated that 'Gen. Stone man was lying at the White House on the Gth inst., and receiving reinforce ments on transports via York river, which he immediately moved forward to Richmond. w The people of this city are in the highest state of excitement over this glorious news. Washihgto."?, 8. Richmond papers how that Stoneman's corps went within two milefc of Richmond and tfl'ected ma ny captures and gieat destruction of prop erty at least a part of this gallant force has reach Gloucester in Keye's command, opposite Yorktown. There can now be no impropriety in saying that the President and Gen. Hal leck visited Hooker and the army, and returned to the city to-night. At about one o'th ck this morning in formation was received tint Stoneman had safely arrived at Rappahannock Sta tion with the remainder of his forces. He has cut the railroad communication of the enemy in all directions, aad thus won a nolle distinction. New York, May 8 The Times1 Washington dispatch, dated 11:1-5 last night, ays Brigadier General Stoughton has arrived from Richmond. He says on Monday morning farmers rushed iuto Richmond with the news of Stoneman's appearnce in the suburbs, and was gob bling up everbody as prisoners. The bells were rung and fearful con sternation ensued. Families packed up their goods,- and the military guard at Liberty prison were ordrred io tne forti fications. The panic continued until Tuesday morning, when it was known Stoneman was on his way down the pen insula. Stougton say? Stoneman's force got within sight of Richmond and one of our officers and two men were captured with in a mile and a quarter of Richmond There were only 400 troops in Rich rrond. The Herald has a letter from a priso ner named Vasburg, dated Richmond 5ih fctatinor the alarm felt there Sunday and do not doubt if Stoneman's force, or a part of it, had entered Richmond Suuday night, which they duM have done, they could Lave seized Jeff. Davis and his whole cabinet, wiih a majority of the rebel Congress and could have burned the bridges across James lliver, and cut off all communication southward. Lieut. Mar?h of the 11th Illinois cav airy who was captured on Monday at Stuntall's Station, states that Percv Wind ham's brigade tore up the track of the Orange &. Alexandria Railroad Saturday, burning the rails, taking prisoners &c. Suturday evening Col. Davis capturned a train and five hundred rebels at ath-, land Siaiioi). The men were parolhd but a rebel Colonel, Major and other of ficers were taken offlty Davis. He ihen proceeded to SninhaU's Sialion. where he met two thousand rebels, having a se- vere tWirmrsn. uavis s torce was only four hundred. u was Davis's design to reach York- town, which he has probably accomplish- ed. The whole number of prisoners captur ed by Davis and Windham is over 1.000. A W ashington dispatch states, Long- street s force was pushed through on Friday and Saturday, before Stoneman cut the connections. The Herald's special states Gen. Stone has been assigned to duty with General Banks. The- Times special says Silfel has re sumed command of his old corps, in place of Carl Schurzi. New Yorjt, May &--A Times' cor respondent who accompanied Stoneman's raid gives the following particulars: His whole force crossed on the il9th of April, at Kelley's ford, and moved to the Or ange and Alexandria road, where ther met seme rebel regiments. After skirm ishing the latter retreated towards Gor- donsville.- Gen. Baford crossed the Rap padanat Morton's ford, causing 1500 in- antry to evrcuate Raccoon ford, then crossed, and a few minor captures were made. On the 1st our forces sot close on the heels of the rebel force at Orange Springs, who to escape, abandoned their wagons and provisions. On the 2d Lou isa Court House was occupied without opposition, the railroad track towards Gordonsville was destroyed ten miles, and two trains of car were burned. The same afternoon a detachment destroed a portion of the road between Gordonsville and Charlottsville. Another detatchmenj under Col. Wind ham proceeded tu Columbia on James River, and destroyed five locks on the canal, five brjdges boats, and a large quantity of commissary stores. An at tempt to destroy the aqueduct was unsuc cessful. Several hundred horses were taken. A part of the fifth cavalry reach ed the river between Columbia and Rich mond, and destroyed the locks, levees, and set fire - to the bridge across James river. Gen. Gregg's force proceeded to the Fredericksburg road at Ashland and destroyed the depots, tram of car?, provi sions and telegraph. A detachment of men was sent to turn the bridge over the South Anna river, tut it was tound strong ly guarded. A portion of his force un der Kilpatrisk mved eastward to Cen tral road and destroyed the bridge on that road over South Anna, and destroyed a train of cars, culverts, and track ten miles, and then passed down the peninsu la- Another portion of Gregg's com mand, under Col. Davis, crossed the road nearer to Richmond, destnrved the bridge over Brook river, and a train of cars. Another detachment burned all the bro ken bridged over the Si'Uih Anna, to prevent the enemy frcm making a flank movement. On the fourth Hampton and Lee with two brigades attackrd sixty men of the Fifth Cavalry on picket duty. This charge was met by a counter-charge and the rebels were temporally repulsed but raitiea aiiU captured seventeen ot our mon. On the Gih a retrograde move merit commenced and the whole party arrived at Kelly's Ford on the morning of the 8th. Our loss was two killed and about fifty wounded and one taken pris oners. Negroes joined the column in (locks and begged to be taken away. They everywhere gave us valuable in formation, and actd as guards to several points. New York, May 10.
