His visit was very brief, luidur ' it!c his stay, he was called -6 n ty many of our citizens and conversed freely about ihe'topics of the day.' Some person, or persons, "impelled by tiratrtgem or fear " had sent word to the Governor, that we were on the verge of having serious troble from Secessionists and jay-hawkers. He was pleased, however, as he assured us, to find that the realities did not justi fy all that had been reported. He found the people of this county as order-loving and loyal as any in the Territory. The Governor has but little resppct for "sympathizers" or pretended neutrals. lie says there can be but two parties in this national struggle, either patriots or rebels. Those who are not for the Gov ernment are against it. There can te no neutrals. . 1 Proiost Marslial- We are informed by Mr. Daily and also by Governor Sachdeks. that a Pro vost .Marshal will soon be appoined for this part of Nebraska. Many have in quired why the Governor did not appoint a Provost for this county. The reason is simply that he has not the power. Those individuals who profess to have been frightened last week will doubtess feel more secure when a Provost Mar shal is appointed. : The News. .

'63. I . Editor Advertiser : I see by the last issue of the Advertiser that we received, that you did not know our exact location. I would have informed - on of our place of encampment ere this, had I not supposed others would have done so." We are now encamped in a beautiful valley, betweeji the Big Sioux and Missouri Hi vers, and about seven miles northwest of Sioux Citj, Iowa. ... X think tba rallej . in which we are encamped is the most beautiful one I ever saw. The soil is a rich, sandy loam, with very little lime in, from which tact it will not produce "very good wheat. There is plenty of tim ber along the shores of the Missouri and Sioux, of the very best quality. The Sioux abounds in fish of almost every variety, and it being but a short distance from camp, angling for them " Vis become a fine pastime, for the offi cers and men. Speaking of fishing reminds me of an incident that occur red ia connection with that and eome supposed Indians : A messenger came into camp a few. days ago, and reported a band of Indians somewhere in the vicinity of a settlement on the Sioux, some two miles above camp. The first Lieutenant of Company 4lE" . was sent with . a detachment of men to ascertain their positionj and capture -them of possible. The Lieutenant is always very zealous in the perform- ance of his duties, therefore" he kept a sharp lookout for his wily foe; At last he discovered a smoke arising . near the west shore of the Sioux, which he supposed. to be from the fires kin dled by the Indians whom he was searching for. Dividing his detach ment into two parties, they went with in about three hundred yards of the fires and dismounted. He then ordered thena te crawl on their knees the bal ance of the distance in order to take them by surprise. When they had approached within about twenty-five yards of the fires, from some cause the Lieutenant's revolver was discharged, and the supposed Indians, (which were none other than some of our boys on a fishing excursion,) took to the brush in every direction, supposing they were fired upon by the Indians. But on ascertaining the cause of the smoke, they withdrew in some confusion, headed by their leader, than whom a better and braver man cannot be found Since the above incident we have had no more scouting ; and' the Lienten ant thinks Indian fighting all a hum bug. We have as yet received no order to move, and it is generally believed by those vfho have an opportunity cf knowing, that-we will not leave our nrpcent encampment before the 10th of June. Ft. Randall will undoubtedly be cur next point, and in-my opinion' tic fTr:Lc:t ccrth.tre xvill ?t cn this expedition. It would hardly pay gov ernment to take us much farther, as our time of enlistment will expire be fore we could gain a destination or point from which wo , could . act with ' 3 r Ivantage. .' ' ' . ie have a fine lot 'of Regimental officers. None that . are' acquainted with Col. Furnas can doubt hid mili tary qualific itiotjd, nor the goodness of hia heart. With ?ueh a comman der as him the NebraslfffSecontl could gain unfading laurels if placed in a position where action va necessary. I hope ere long to see bin a Brigadier General, from the fact that merit should be rewarded. Mnjor J. W. Pearmnn, at present ti e next in com mmd, is also a fine officer and a gentleman, and is well liked by the officers and men .of the regiment. Adjutant II. M. Atkinson is also an excellent officer. The rest of the Regimental officers are all gotfd men, and well qualified for their respective positions. I think, taking all the officers, both regimental and company, a better set cannot be found. As for the boys of the Second, .they cannot be beat by any other regiment in the. U. S. Service. Col. Furnas and the Adjutant are both sick, but are now improving. Company E has about eighteen on the sick list, but all are getting better. Company M has but three unfit for duty. The health of the regiment is generally good. If anything strange or new occurs, I will inform you.

We took the liberty, however, of putting it in type. It was set for last week's paper, but was crowd ed cut: St. JosEPn, Mo., May 2L T. R. Fisher, Dear Sir: It is a bright, beautiful, Sunday morning; now and then throngs may be seen passing or sauntering through the streets in their holiday attire, to enjoy the attractions of air and sunshine, or to visit their, places of worship, but the little city of St. Joseph seems to i?e m.vre than ordinarily quiet nuu peaceful. The gentleman of leisure who wishes for more correct ideas cf aboriginal costumes, manners, and amusements, may be re&dily gratified by a stroll down to the steamboat landing, where several hundred Win nebago Indians are encamped in tents and reed huts. Here he may see the marriage ceremony, and war, scalps and begging dances performed by putting a dime in the hat. To-d;iy an eager crowd is gazing upon the river to see the skill and endurance exhib ited by the young warriors in their swimming exercises. As a tribe, the Winnebagoes are well built, strongly muscled specimens of manhood, much larger than the Sioux, and any other tribe I have ever seen, except the Chippewas, who are the tallest and most athletic Indians in North Amer ica. There has been considerable excite ment hero the last week. Charles Mast, a Captain in the Provisional Regiment of Militia, was ehot and killed in his own house, when endeav oring to preserve the peace, by a sol dier belonging to the Colorado" Regi ment. Yesterday Lieut. Graefenstein of the 25th Reg. Mo. Vcls., who was murdered, while a prisoner, by bush whackers in Clay County, was buried, a large concourse of soldiers and ciu izens attending his funeral. In yesterday's Herald there was an order from Col. Harding, commanding-the District, to Major Bassett, Provost Marshal of the Northwest District of Missouri, instructing him and his assistants, to immediately arrest and try all disloyal men, es pecially every leading man known to be a secessionist or sympathizer with treason. In this community, where j most of the wealth and property is in the hands of men commonly reputed &i friendl to-the' Southern, Confed. eracy and the present rebellion, this order has caused a terrible shaking among the dry bones. A few. cop perheads havc ajready been sent out upon the route to Dixie, and although it is not known what the result-of the present order' will be, it is generally suspected that a grand but involuntary Hegira will Ime to be made zo the Southern Mecca, of every man in Northern Missouri who is not Milling heartily to sustain the Government in crushing out this accursed rebelion. In Nebraska you are slumbering, as it were, in peace and repose, while this region is convulsed with the throes of a coming struggle, fiercer and more O CO ' terrible than eer was known before It has been discovered that, oil and water will not mingle, and thnt the firebrand has : but to be applied to dissolve one of the elements to noth ingness. This is thesecret of the reports to be found in every morning's paper of the murder of men in Holt, Nodaway, Andrew' and Worth coun ties suspected of being secessionists. Last Friday, news came in that Plattsburg, Clintin Co , Mo., was ta ken, robbed and burned by bush whackers, and three Union men mur dered. The Colorado men here, were immediately sent upon a scout to that place, and it is hoped that they will come upon the guerillas and complete ly annihilate them. The Colorado soldiers, though desperato and trou blesome men, are hardy, fine looking troops. As I know nothing more of iater est to communicate to you, I will come to a close. Respectfull yours, J. J. Mauvix. Intemperance. There seems to be some mysterious law of nature regulating the commission of crime and the prevalence, of vice. In Fance, Austria and England, accor ding to the statistics. - the number of murders is very nearly' the same one year as another. The same is true of other crimes. Souj'eiimes, during years of scarcity of provisions there would be a temporarDcrease. In our metropolis, New YoVk City, when the war broke out many thousands of the roughs joined m army. It was hoped a reform vould be visible in the city. But the reverse was the case ; crime rapidly increased. Here, in Brownville, those who ussd te drink to excess, two of three years ago, have all reformed or left the county; still there is as much liquor drank now as ever. Perhaps the example of our for mer drunkards was so disgusting", and the effects of their vice so apparent, that it deterred others from a like course. Be that as it may, others have now com menced to make an example of themselves. Men have betn seen recently drunk on our streets, who Lave not been drunk on the streets for the last thirty years. We sincerely hope they may immediate ly reform.

There had been fighting on Monday from G o'clock? A. until 9 o'clock in the evening. There was then a cessation of hostilities to allow both parties to bury their dead. The battle was re newed on Tuesday no particulars. It is stated that but few if any of the water batteries were taken. Shells from Sherman's siege guns can be seen from the fleet to fall in tho city. Forty-four hundred prisoners are ex pected to arrive to-night. Washington, May 31. The Navy Department have received dispatches from Commodore Porter, which eay the expedition under Lieut.

Pem berton's Quartermaster cucceeded in running seven hundred mules out of Vicksburg thereby lessening the con sumption of corn. The garrison has now full rations for nine-hundred days. Chicago, June 1, 10 A. 51, TheNew - York Herald's Washington dispatch says Government has no intelligence from Grant's army later than the 26th when grant was progressing favorably. The silence of the Richmond papers is considered as conclusive that nothing favorable has occurred for the rebels. Correspondence of the Post, dating near Vicksburg 22d says : This is the fourth day Grant's army has lain around the entrenchments of Vicks- During that time there have been hourly battles and continued cannonading. At least 2,000 of our men have been placed hors de combat in the several charges ordered against the rebel earthworks. During last night the mortar and gunboats in front of Vicksburg kept up a continual fire. Several buildings have been burned by exploding shells. At eight o'clock this morning cannonading was again commenced along the entire line, from every hill top in front of the enemy's work:?. Rebel guns have been dis mounted, en.brazures torn out, para pets and caissons destroyed rebels were powerless to reply, as our skir mishers were close to their works, unerringly picking off their gunners. This cannonade was continued two hours, when Smith's corps of Oster- haus division charged through a mur derous cross enfilading fire close up to the rebel works, where an impassable ditch with sharp stakes were encoun tered by our men. They planted the flag directly in front of them and crouched down behind the embank ment, out of range of the rebel fire, The rebels inside the vorks could not show themselves above the parapets without meeting death from cur sharp shooters, and only could effect any thing by cutting off fuses to shells, lighting them, and rolling them from the outer slope ofthe embankment. Subsequently our boys, with picks and shovels dug a breach into one fort, and this was taken in this way. One fort was also taken by storm by Carr's division. During three days we lost five offers killed, including three Cplonels, and fifty wounded. Steel's forces are reported to have lost one thousand. Ne' York, June 1. Wm. M. Ev arts, now in London, states, that he feels assured that the British Govern ment will, in good faith, do its best to prevent the sailing of rebel pirates. An extra of Havana Diorio 2G:h was received per steamer Salldrake. It reports the arrival at H:vanna of the French war steamer Darien from Vera Bruz with important dispatches from Gen.

The pris oners include Antega and 23 other Generals, 900 minor ofiicers and 17, 000 men.- After a desperate resist tance the French entered the place, when Oatega surrendered uncondition ally. On tho 20th one division of the French army started for the city of Mexico. Chicago, June 1. Memphis papers of the 28th state that the forts re maining in the rebel possession at Vicksburg are very formidable, and command the entire town. Several charges have been made on them with little success. The rebels seem to think their position impregnable. The report that Pemberton offered to surrender on terms is confirmed. Cairo, June 1. On the 22, eigh teen companies of cavalry from Ger mantown, when a few miles from La grange, met the enemy two thousand strong and drove them back. Near Senatobia road3 they encountered twenty-five hundred rebels strongly posted on a hilJ, these were driven across the Tallahatchie with a loss of six killed and three wounded. On the 25th an expedition sent from Helena encountered a regiment of rebel cay airy. A fight ensued lasting half an hour. Our loss five killed, twenty three wounded, also several prisoners. Rebel loss three killed and wounded. Memphis, May 20. A Gentlemen who left Panala, Miss., on the 28th says, Joe Johnston has twenty thou sand men and is moving to attack Grant's rear. He has conscripted every person capable of bearing arms. A large amount of guns and amo.ni tion are expected to arrive at Jackson j on the 29th. - Federal officers oScers who outfit to know, say Grant has no fears of an attack in the fear, and if nt.t.finl-pd nn harm can be done. There has been no fishtirfc since the 24th.- It is stated Ranks is. fast approaching A letter from near Vicksburg the 20tc 4:n' fJpn. Grant has more troo.p? here than he can use in reducing Vicks hnrrr and car detach a sufficient O ' nmnbeMo defeat any rebel force in the rear. Sherman s loss in tue at tacks on the 19th, was about six hundred killed and wounded. Siege guns have opened on the city, and the gunboats b'.'gan to co-operate in the attack to-day. m Chicago, June 1. A . letter dated Headquarters in field near Vicksburg the 2-J, says but little has been effec ted in the last 36 hours. Over one hundred pieces of field artillery and several siege guns rained shot and shell on the enemy's works yesterday. The mortar fleet also took position behind Detota Point and bombarded the city the entire day. On the right Gen. Sherman ha3 posted Steele's division squarely to the foot of the parapets. Our men layin a ditch and on the slope of the parapet outside one of the principal forts, unable to take it by storm, and determined not to retire. The federal and rebel sol diers are not twenty-five feet apart, both powerless to inflict much harm. Each watches the other, and a dozen mujket9 are fired the instant a soldier exposes himself above the works on either side. Nearly the samo condi- tion of things exist in McPherson's front, his sharpshooters prevent work ing the enemy's pieces in one or two fort3. A charge was made yesterday morn ing on one of them, by Stephenson's brigade and were repulsed. Two companies of one regiment got inside a few got out again, but most of them were captured- The Forts are filled with infantry. Our artillery has dismounted a few guns and dam aged -the work in some places, but they are still strong. Gen. McCler nand was hard pressed on tho left yesterday and sent for reinforcements Quimby's division went to his assis tance at 4 o'clock. The contest con tinued till seven. One of our flags was planted at the foot of the earth works on the outside of one rebel fort and kept there for hours, but the fort was not taken. McClernand's loss is estimated at 1.000 killed and wounded yesterday. The fighting grows more despeate each day. Transports now bring supplies by water to within 3 miles of our right. Gen. Joe John son is reported near Bi Black- Hirer, in our rear, with reinforcements for the besieged citv. Grant can detach men enough from operations here to keep Johnson in check.' Somerset, Ky., May 31. To day a cavalry reconnojsance was made to with in four miles of Montecello. Sharp skir mishing all the wny. At Two Fords thirteen rebfls with arms and horses were captured. Simultaneous with this fifty picket men cro.-sed the river on boats and captured the rebel pickets at Mill Springs consisting of a Lieutenant and sixteen privates with all their arms and twenty-four horses. No casuahties on our tide. New York, June 2 Rio Janero cor respondent says, the Brazilian authorities have piaced the commander at Fernando. Da Noranha for allowing the Alabama to commit depredations in Brazilian wa ters. The new commander who was sent to the island protested against the Ala bama remaining there and ordered her to leave in a few days. Unfortunately he had no vessel or war to enforce h' orders. Every satisfaction in the power of the Brazilian authorities to give has been tendered. The American Uodsul says, it was supposed at Pernambulaloo that the Alabama sailed south the 25th of April. Cincinnati, June 2. News from Kentucky last night reports the enemy falling back towards Cumberland Cap closely pursued by the Ninth army corpse a majority or wnom arc mounted lntant- New York, June 2 The Yost's Washington dispatch says nothing furth er is known in reference to the move ment of Lee, but many exciting rumors are circulating. It is Stated Sam. Hous ton is to run as a candidate for Governor of Texas with a derign of forming a Re public of Texas. A Time's despatch says. Hunter is relieved of command of the Department of the South. Gen. Gil more succeeds him. A reconnoisance to Warrentoo -day developed a rebel movement in that direction. The Creole from New . Orleans the 24th has arrived. A dispatch in the New Orleans Era say 5 yesterday Auger's whole division was. engaged in a uine hours fight on Port' Hudson Plains four miles in the rear of Port Hudson. We took one thousand prisoners, and drove the enemy from the field. An Alexandria letter of the 12th gives the details of the taking of that place by Admiral Porter, and the arrival of Gen.Brnks. All our troops had arritu'il. Binks was planning another. movement. It was rumored that 7,00'J reinforcements were com ing iroi.i Arkansas to the rebel Gen. Taylor. Banks had issued an order offering bounties for re-enlistments. The first Texas cavalry, under Col. Davi3, made a raid on the Jackson railroad from Tickfaw station to camp Moore, destroying all the bridges on the road, including the large one over Tangisho river; also all the stations and car factory near Independence, and the shoe factory, tannery, saw and grist mills near Tickfaw. Rumors from Pascagoula reached New Orleans on the 21st that Mobile had been attacked. Qne rebel stated that a telegraph dispatch was received at Pascagoula thai Fort Morgan had g)ne under. A letter of the 22d state3 our aimy had reached the precincts of Port IIud3on, and the- attsi:k-fsrn progress with prospects favorable for capturin the place and all in iL - - - . Cuicago, June 2.The following' is the only connected account of the feder al repulse at Vicksburg on the 22d, yet published. By two o'clock orl themorn ing ot the Sd our artillery fired and destroyed three service magazine in the rebel fort3, one on the center and two on the left. On the center-the first and third brigades of Langon's division, com manded by Generals Smiih and Steven son, advanced at half past eleven o'clock two regime-nts of Stevenson's brigade were provided with scaling lad lers for ty feel long, but had no opportunity to use them being driven back before reaching the rifle pits. Logan's men went ou bravely, but were met by overwhelming numbers of the entrenched foe. Hun dreds of them jumped into the ditches, but theuumber who reached the parapet was small. Nearly two companies reach ed into the fort and were captured. The flag of the seventh Missouri was plan ted on the .parapet, after seven color bearers had been shot down, amid tho terrible storm of buHets and grape shot, The third brigade maintained us posi tion untif recalled. They advance 1, holding their fire to pour in the rifle pits after their ascent of the parapet. The enemy gave them volley after volley as they approacned sending terrible devast ation among ttie ranks, lne loss of Stevenson's brigade will reach nearly three hundred. To. the left of Logan in the centre, Gen. Quimby's division join ed in the assault and like their brave comrades under , under Stevenson and Smith their valor and courage was great but they could not accomplish the work assigned them. They were driven back with heavy loss on the left. McCler- nand commenced the assault earlier than any other commander first advance made by McClerLand's centre Smith division of brigades under Col. Landruurand Gen. liurbridge. As early as eleven o'clock Land rum's men took the fort and were in actual possession of it. Gen. Osterhans on their left made a breach on the south side of their work with his ar tillery. There were two companies of rebel soldiers in it at the lime. One ran away, the other surrendered. Lan- drum on obtaining possession of the fort put a pioneer force to work to ihrow up earthworks in the rear to bring the "uns of the fort to bear upon the rebels. In constructing fortifications the rebels left the rear of all the forts opened, to give an opportunity to assail our men in the event of our success in driving them out. Flags of the Forty-eighth Ohio. Seven ty-seventh Illinois, Nineteenth Kentucky floated from the inner slope of the para pet trom haf pait eleven a. in. till four p. m. At a late hour ihe rebels were teen preparing for a charge to retake the fort. Our men did not receive the support which had been promised. They were compelled to fall back leaving the uuy again. paLm o the for. Between twelve and one o'clock, the six teenth Indiana, after a desperate charge, succeeded in capturing the fort to the right of the one in posessession of Col. Landrum and held it gallantly against a determined assault until relieved by ihe Forty eighth Indiana, from whom it was taken by a surprise force of the enemy fighting on the left. This was done by the divisions of Generals Carr, Oster hans nnd Smith, and was more of a des perate character and longer duration than that cf the right or centre. MtClenand and men performed the:r . j Ji. - i . j.iii niu niui;) auu uuia.!:!, Lul i were unable to dislodge the en?mv from l hlS works, save temporarily. In th in- . , 1 . stances we nave mnLiosru. I as;::.; on the risht was commenced sooa after ten o'clock by Gen. Tfcaver S triiTide cr Steele's division consisting of ihe ciV.h. fourth, twenty-sixth, and thirtieth Iowa regiments, Gen. Blair on the left of his right wing moved his men forward for the Moody work. Soon after the com mencement by Steele, a volunteer storm ing party of one hunured and fifty men went up to the enemy's works crossed the ditch and climbed the parapet. The rebels were for a time afraid to show their heads above their ride pits long enoughat a time tojfire at this little band The storming party looked in vain for the support which had been promised it; but the brigade which ha'! been ordered lo follow it hesitated. Finally all but one of the hundred and fifty got discour aged and sought shelter in a deep ravine. William Trogden, private of Company "B" Eighth Missouri, refused to re trace a single step. He was color-bearer of the storming party. When his comrades left him he dug a hole in the ground with i.is bayonet and placed the tiigstaff a; it within twenty jards bf the enemy's rifle-pits and sat down by the nde of the bannpr, where he remained all day. Blair's men finally made charge but were repulsed with terrible loss. Gen. Tuttle's division joiued in the as sault on the right, but shared the fate which befel the others. The whole affars was nothing more than a single chirge on ihe enemys works, which was unsuc ces:ful and disastrouf Whe'her from bad management or disobedience of or derf on th; part os those to whom the high commands were entrusted, or from the dreadful character of the work to be performed, we will not attempt to decide. Teere appears to have ben a want of co-operation between subordinate add superior ofiicers of command. Storming parlies went gallantly forward but were left to perih for want of support. Re giments and brigades advanced nobly, but only to be disappointed in expecta tions of receiving support and help The retult of the battle has been doastrous to us in the loss of nearly L',000 brave men. We lost no ground and the army is no? demoralized by the failure to take the strongest fortiged position in the south. The rebels no doubt feel encour aged by their success in keeping us from their works. This feeling may operate against us in dispelling ihe gloom and dispondenci which could noi but prevail in an rrmy routed for tne fifth successive time, as the rebels were at Big Black River A correct estimate of our loss on the twenty second will place the fig ures at twenty-five hundred killed and wounded. It is impossible to get an ac curate statement so soon after the en gagement. The rebel loss is trifling, paobably less than one fourth of ours.
