Editor Xtbraska Advertucr : - In the language of son o remote hifa lutin historian of the revolving seasons: "the winter is past, the flowers appear on the earth, the time for the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.". From the most reliable dates this quo tation was the effusion of a close observ er of nature, and written in the month of May amid a profusion of flowers gently waving in extatic recognition of honeyed notes changed by the feathered minstrels; All but the last of the quotation's appli cable to this elevated region ; the. "turtle" has not been heard ; the 'otrers" are here, and the "birds'11 sing, . Inspect, exactly the same songs sung when the author made the record, at least, evidence to the contrary is wanting. If they have undergone a change since that day it is not surprising as almost countless revb- utions have taken place in language, cus tom, habit and governments, and why should not the birds adopt nesv notes of melody discarding those used in the days of Soiomon? Will some astute ornithol ogist enlighten the world on the subject ? What would this terrestrial sphere be without its rich carpet of verdure, lovely flowers, and the birds' sweet soothing carol ? Let Winter's cold chilly days and nights hold the sway, and life would be robbed of one half cf its charms ; there would be no joy filling the heart on gaz injr out on mountain, rlain, hill and val ley, and the soul-stirring notes of the furthered choir huihed in eternal si lence ! Thankfulness, earnest, nd sin cere, should ascend as sacred incense, from the alter of all health, to God tor the indescribable fountains of pleasure gushing forth from every grove.yery epear of graws. v-ary tmilinjj flower I Thai's tchaVs the matter ; we are tickled nearly to death at the return of Spring: as serious doubts were entertained wheth er this portion of the globe was included in the regular routine of Dame Nature, knowing the materials were out at the time it was created. If Lhe "turtle'1 could be heard this would be-like the land of Solomon; but, alas, the plaintive voice has not, as yet, been heard on Rat tle Snake. LATE ORDERS. No. 1. or squad, When the Brigade, company is cn drill should an amusing incident occur each man must yell at the top of his voice. This is for the purpose of testing the lungs, wind, &c. No,. 2. At the announcement of "grub'1 it must be responded to by a "helter skelter" foot race. This is for the pup pose of testing the legs. Being an order of the greatest importance shall be short ly enforced. No. 3. The use of the word "defeat" in official communications is prohibited. In lieu thereof the word ret ire11 shall be used as more acceptable to the taste of military men, and better adapted to cer tain circumstances. , No. 4. Should the enemy come into camp, and say "how, meat, bread, blanket,11 .... i. i the demand must be liberally answereu, because the Constitution enjoins the nolle precepts to "feed the hungry and clothe the naked ;" he, (the enemy,) possessing a peculiarity of system preventing him from earning a livelihood in an honest way should be mildly and kindly treated ! No alKision shall be made to his natural or acquired weaknesses, as his highly sensitive nature would be offended, and his interesting visits discontinued. The endearing epithet "brother,"1 must be used on all occasions, even if the arrow, or ball, be aimed at your heart, or the hatch et raised to split your skull. We must "love our enemies.11 His christian educa tion, havinj been neglected, daily mur ders of helplpss men, women and chil dren, must be regarded as an erring hab it. Ignorance, particularly, when com bined with ferocious fiendishness is a valid plea fer the commission of the most horrid crimes perpetrated by our most beloved brother! This order must be carefully carried out. The sugar, is bet ter thanthe vinegar treatment to settle dif ficulties among near relations. Hands off, let ,em steal, let em kill, but don't retal iate for fear a " family war" will be the consequence. If , they have the advant age, drop your "Jillin11 but when the ad vantage is in your power give 'em, meat, bread, blanket.11 Order No. 5. Immediately after the Paymaster's visit it will be expected of the officers to accommodate the "boys" at five cents "ante." Chaplins not allowed to play "seven up11 on the Sabbath unless it be "rainy weather11 as such examples wield a pernicious influence. The remainder of these important or ders must be reserved for another lime. Should' they -be faithfully executed the organization of the Bust Head Brigade will be fully consummated, and prepared ; for a "forward movement11 GEJf. LOVEGOOd's STAFF. The following officers are detailed on Baigadier General Theopolus Lovegood's staff. Lietu. Alakafra3erfat, Aid-de-camp ; Capt. Squirtwater Assistant Gen'l ; Capt. Shompogancy, Assistant Quartermaster ; L L Scruptepucks, Assistant Commissary of Subsistence ; Dr. Hydrargum Epispas tics knockumstifT, Brigade Surgeon.. None of these officers sought ''positions" on the staff but were selected solely on account of peculiar fitness. The country may confidently look for valuable serv. ises from them, if allowed to remain du ring the War, with the General on Rat tle Snake creek. AID-DE-CAMP. Lt. Alkafraserfat is busily engaged in aiding the Gen'l in the purchase of "good skins" of ; which to make "robe" to send to Mr. A. Lincoln as a slight to ken of the General's gratitude for past favors. The General esteems the Pres ident much I assure you, and the Presi dent esteems the General. A. A. GEN L, things partaining to his Is managing office like "clock work," although, in the start he aid not exactly understand the ceremony of mounting the guard. He supposed "mounting" meant chastising and "pitched into" one of the guard and came out scarcely able to stand upon his "pins." A. QUATERM ASTER. Capt. Shompogancy has just received the sum of S16.33 for .disbursement in emergent demands on his department, On careful examination this amount was deemed amply sufficient for the Sum mer's campaign. A. C. OF SUBSISTEACE. . Lt. Seruptepucks is strongly fortified bthind a lot ol "sweet smelling ancient Edward" which owing to its lively qual ity seems to change its position every twenty-four hours ! If something is not done speedily to check its erratic habits a sentinel will have to be stationed over it, or " Uncle Edward11 will have us. Se ruptepuck thinks a portionof his commis sary supplies ' can be " moved11 without much difficulty, or cost, and the "line of march" taken up a any time. LOVEOOOD TO GRANT. General: Yours received, In reply I can inform you this country affords an abundance of Beaver. By strategetic movements the old ones, as well as the kittens, can be captured, I think myself they would be of service, to you in your "canalling" operations at Vicksburg. Skins plenty, but no cuiton. Lovegood. . No doubt Gen'l Grant will request a supply of these animals, as their known ingenuity in turning water is, unsurpass ed, but the object in writing "JVo cotton11 cannot be "seen into,' unless swaping is about .to be adopted in military circles. You know by a Convention of interested parties skins have been declared "con traband," and Gen'l L. continues to this authoritative act applying to his district, in the same way, as other Generals do their authority over cotton, the conse quence of which is, the enemy isdecreas ing in skins, and Gen'l increasing, and if this "military necessity" continues the conclusion is evident, that the enemy will have less skins and the Gen'l more. The Government is being benefited much, and the War about at an end, by these strate getic cotton and skin operasions of our heroic Generals throughout the Union. Now Mr. Editor: I want it distictly uuderstood that I wrote tis letter, and that no one has used my signature, which is Asevermore, N. Bonaparte"Bullywilkli:. P. S. Reconnoissance of the army's position just terminated ; after a vigorous struggle of forty-five minutes and fifteen seconds our forces slowly retired, casuali ties, one Bust Head right smartly weak ened, several others slightly feebled ; damage to enemy not known, but sup posed, a few holes opened in his works. This trail established the fact, that Bust Heads are not impregnable as not more than fifteen thusand shots were received by them during the engagement. OFFICIAL REPORT. Friend Halleck. I attacked the ene my at sunrise, 6th of May for the pur pose of finding out if he would fight. The battle was terrible, and, as near as I can guess, a large number, in fact all, the Brigade escaped without a scratch, from which I conclude the Lord is cn our side. . ' We retired, I can assure you, because the fire was really hotter than expected. Had it not been for this, the fight,! be lieve, would have lasted longer.
