" GoTcrnor Saunders.
. 0j Muuday of ' ihis week-we had the
' "rUasure of a visit from Governor S.ux
; M rs. 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.

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.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
From the Nebraska Second Cavalrr.
Beaqcaeters Second Kebraska Catalet, )
Cabf Cook. Dacota Tee., May 27th. '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

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.

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

In yesterday's Herald there was

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

crushing out this accursed rebelion.
In Nebraska you are slumbering, as it

Last Friday, news came in that
Plattsburg, Clintin Co , Mo., was ta

immediately sent upon a scout to that
place, and it is hoped that they will

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.

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.

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

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.'

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.

Forty eighth Indiana, from whom it was
taken by a surprise force of the enemy

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.
