THE ADVERTISER 'f 1 T O TJT -r. I mrvtrnMl BROWN VILLS, S ATURD Ar, JUNE & 1863. The Neirs. It will le seen f rem ccx telegraphic columns that the rebels are making a raid into Maryland and Pennsylvania. This is a change of Programme that veare iioi fcorry to hear. It will stop for awhile the stale song, '-All quiet on the Poto u.ac." They will doubiless commit many dt-prtdations, and steal :tgreat deal of property, but they will be much exposed, and we hope the larger portion of them will be bagged before they get back. The latest reports brought by possen gers on the boat, state that they were at Hurrisburg-; and that the Governor of New Yo'rk:had 'called out 30.C00 mihtia, which were to be put under Gen. Mc Clellan. Militia to serve for six months was being rapidly raiV-d in Pennsylva nia, Maryland and Ohio. Gen Hooker was retreating to the de fences of Washington, and Lee was close at his heels. Law and Order. Of late we hear a good many sermons, on the above text.- Some of our friends up the Creek, at Omaha, Nebraska City and other places, and even some of our own citizens, seem to fear that the peo ple of Nemaha County are about to loose all respect for law are in danger . of drifting into a boundless and unknown Ocean without rudder, Compass or Chart . We hear it remarked that the murder that occurred on the sixth inst., could not ' have taken place three years ago, the community was then not so much dem oralized." That may be true. There were not so many rebels three years ago as now. We do not object to this preach ing. All good men should be in favor of sustaining Law and Order. Sermons are none the worse for being oft re pealed. Mankind are heedlss. The truth has to be told them, sometimes a thousand times, before they believe it. We do not beleive, however, that the people of this county are very much de moralized, or that they are much worse than our neigbors further North, or than we were ourselves three years ago. We think nineteen twentieths of the people this county, are now and always have been opposed to mobs. There are oc casioeally extreme case in which commu nities countenance, and justify extra-legal proceedings. For instance, if a band of men were believed to be armed or arm ing for the purpose of committing depre- dations in the community, or if they were secretly conspiring against the lives, or the peace of their, neighbors and against laws and government, under such circumstances citizens would be ex cusible if they visited such band of men, even without due process of law, and dis armed them. Again. Where a manor men are guilty of horse stealing, and their guilt becomes notorious, they are in most neighborhoods in this Western coun try, if caught, executed by order of Judge Lynch. There has been many instances , of this kind in Nebraska. N'.ne, how ever, we believe, in Nemaha County Two or three years ago, two men accused of horse-stealing-, were taken out of jail at Omaha, and murdered in a most hor rihle manner. A year ago last winter, a jayhawker was murdered at Nebraska City, and if current reports were true, it was attended with circumstances of the most savage brutality. Both "murders were cold blooded and horrible, fully as much so as the one committed in this county, and showing as much de.norali zation, yet nobody got frightened about iu Nobody, unless it was some other horse-thief, proposed to leave the country. Mr. Handley had been guilty of treason, a crime greater than horse-stealing. He had afterwards, had a fight with, and whipped three different men, out of re venge for which he was murdered. There is no necessity for any man pretending lobe afraid of personal injury unless he is placed under circumstances similar to those mrrounding Handley. Most peo pie did consider him in danger. If there are men in Atchison county, or in this county, disposed to excuse or palliate the murder, their number is very small ten fold smaller than those who have justified the murder of horse-thieves in the Ter ritory. We are a little surprised to hear men eulogizing Law and Order, who have for years past advised breaking Law under certain circumstances. . . WTe do not make these statements to justify or excuse the murder of Nathan Handley. We merely wUh to show that crimes equally ashenious have been per petrated in other places, and that we have at least as much respect for law as our neighbors. Indeed, the citizens of this county had nothing whatever to do with the murder. They might, it is true, have prevented it, if the threats made that day, had been generally known in time ; but nobody in this county was responsible for the commission of it. The affair will be investigated by the proper authorities, and the parties, we ' suppose, punuhed as may be deemed '.most just and expedient. We hope to see the Law sustained and enforced. There may be causes where W is necessary to go beyond the Law in "rtff-defence, but those rases very rarely occur. That cf IUndby certainly was cot cae. Gvruraeat has promised protection to those who returned from the rebel array, took the oath and gave bonds, and as long as they behave that promise must be respected. Nebraska First, ; : The report that this Regiment was sent to Vicksburg is not true. s We have a letter written June 11. dated at Pilot Knob. We make the following extracts from the lettei : .

Furnas re ceivd an order from Gen. Sully, requir ing two co's, of the Neb. Second to report next day. (Sunday) at Sioux City, for duty, the Col. with his usual promptness ordered co's. 4,AV and "E," both under the command of Capt. Hiil to report as directed, and at an early hour on Sunday morning, thoie co's. struck tents, left Camp Cook, and reported as direct ed to the Gen., who ordered them to select camping grounds. Capt. Hill with a view to strategy, no doubt, commissioned one of his engineers to make the selection, which he did to the entire satisfaction of the command con tiguous to the City, having the Mo. river on one side, a deep ravine on an other, and a bold and precipitous bluff on the third side; thus forming a triangle which nature has so strongly fortified that this present command, is in no dan ger of being surprised by the wily foe, and has yet a further advantage of being so near the city, that if a soldier or of ficer is suddenly attacked with the colic, (which is frequentlly the case)he ran in a minut or so get some peppermint drops. which is an icfaliable remedy ; especi ally when mixed with the essence of corn, rye &c, tbie disease is rather pre valent here at present among this detach ment and a portion of the 30th Wiscon sin who are quartered here; but neither complain much ; in fact they like the dis ease, as .the remedy is so palatable; which they use without much grumbling at the prescription This has been a busey week here un loading goods for the expedition, which from the present indications will sun north in a few days. How far into the hyperborean regions your informant saith not a? he is not particular) posted in these matters, but if dame rumor be rorrect we will go within a few miles of Her Majesty's Dominions, and if so I doubt not but some brave "soger boys will have the temerty to plant the stars and strps on that sacred soil, if for no thing eUe, for the fun of it. The boys are all to have a new rig in a day or two, coats, hats, pants &c. , and are all armed to the teeth, which you'll allow to be th'i case when each soldier has a large navy revolver, a sabre, an Enfield rifla,. and there is serious talk of their being further 6'jpplied wih anoth er sabre each, and if not fully armed and loaded down; each man will lash a twelve pound howzeter to his horse. Let Little Crow and his red imps be ware how thy cross th war path of th 2d - Neb.,-thus -armed-and ticcoutered. Gen. Sully, who superceded Gen. Cook, in this department is an old in dian fighter, having been with Harney in hisxampalgn against' the Indians, be sides this he has been through all the battles fought on the sacred soil of Vir ginia since the rebellion broke out. He is the man for this expedition, having all this prestage to go on, he commands and has the confidence of both men and offi cers of this expedition., ! -The Nemaha county boys are all well. Oour worthy Col.Jis at work day and night getting everything 'ready' for 'the march. The boys are tired of laying still, and are anxious to move on the foe; in fact thty they are spiling for a fi?ht, and what is belter they are in hopes of at least catch- J ing one red skin, if they can only see him, before they return, a thing which would be extremly doubtful; were it not for some genius, ' who haptly hit upon a plan, which if carried out successfully may give the boys a fair chance io see if not not to catch an Indian. It is this ; the ex pedition is supplied, (at the suggestion of this geni us, who he is I don't know; it may be the Gen. of the Mackerl Brig ade,) with several, it not more barrels of pure rot-cut, and "it is confidently as- serted by men high i n command that if the Indians are properly baited with this new and modern improvement of war fare, they can be catched. If not, not. Of the result of this and other method, should any be adopted, you shall hear in time from Me. Erom the Nebraska First. Pit ot Kxob, J one 6th, 16(3. Mr. Editor: since writing you last we have enjoyed another season of disappointment: by orders to leave Cape Girardeau for Pilot Knob. I, myself was extended upon a carpet in a cool, handsomely furnished room, calculating whether to engage the same for three months, or only to take it a month at a time, during the sum mer, when . a messenger announced the order to march at six the next morning. The officers generally had their wives there, some of the private soldier theirs also, and some of the public soldiers had entered upon the preliminaries of courtships, which were likely to be consummated by fall say hog-killing time. Immediately thereupon-the barbers had just cause for putting up their fees for shaving, on account of lengthened faces. And the price of salt should have fallen, for the briny was every where forthcom ing, or coming forth. The running to and for, that evening, indicated a state of insubordination in camp, or an at tempt on the part of bold soldier boys to recruit the regiment by impressment. The contagion seemed to be catching. A ball was given that night, and the bawling never ceased till "distance stole enchantment from the view." Some officers, one at least, of whom I now remember, who never flinched before a rebel battery, faltered before the fire of two or three bright eyes, and begged for quarters. One was wounded in the heel, and could not march, and hence remained another, and yet another night. One could only be got clear of, by marrying hitn and coming along. Some marched out in the mo in ing, but as the camp was only ten miles distant that even ing, and five miles could be made per hour, came back againg by night, seeking among the hospitables, for an article called hearts-ease. But the majority looked not back, fearing the fate of Lot's wife, and knowing the article was contraband. The third day out, Pilot Knob, with its huts and Lager Beer, gladdened eye and stomaclw Five days in camp, and an expedition to Little Rock be ing expected in a month, again we were reposing beneath our own "vine and fig tree," when orders came to move for Vicksburg in an hour. Con sternation took hold of those who had not yet written back to Cape Girar deau, for much was to be done and a short time allotted. Waggons were packed, and the order to march was half-way out of Cap. Majors' throat, when it was countermanded, and all we heard was mar. The original plan was mared. That was Batisfactory. Now Col. Ligingston, it is said, is to he commander of this post, and if so we will stay here, till ordered to more. If Grant needs us, the boys are anx ious to see how a regular siege is conducted ; and then they would charge a battery any time, in order to get to come back by the Cape. The rebels have been reported fifty miles south of this, and did charge upon a camp of our cavalry, at day light one day last week; wounding several, and retiring in haste. By publishing this our friends will know where to address us for a few davs. Yours: Nemaua. Surjreon A. S. Holladat arrived at home per the steamer Denver. He is in fine health and spirits.

Rappahannock. Chicago, June 13. A rebel dis patch dated Jackson, Miss., 6th, says Gen. Pemberton sent word that he can hold Vicksburg. The following particulars in regard to the fight at Monticello to' the" 10th are received : Col. Kantz's command consisting of the 7th, and a detach ment of the 2d Ohio cavalry regiments and a portion of the 2d East -Tenn. infantry, crossed the river on the night of the 10th, and were in' motion at 4 o'clock next morning. The rebels under, Pegram were completely sur prised. After driving them through Monticello,' bur forces continued three miles on the Jamestown road in pun suit. :, It not being the intention to hold the place, our forces began to retreat at two o'clock in the afternoon Our forces were but little molested until within eight miles this side cf Monticello, when Pegram V ' forces overtook their rear guard, when fight ing commenced in earnest. Here we were reinforced by the remainder of the 2d East Tennessee and 45th Ohio. The whole of Colontd Kantz's cm mand again moved against the enenv, who were pressed back one mile. Taking a position behind a stone wall thev made a stubborn stand, and finally pressed our men heavily with greatly superior forces, and compelled them to fall back 50 yards. "The 21 East Tenn. were ordered into the woods, where the enemy was now spreading his force. This regiment came on in a splendid manner, at a double quick, and, raising a shout, dashed into the rebels, who were soon compelled to fall back. At dark, our forces! being numerically inferior to the enemv. Colonel Kantz determined upon retiring about for mile, where the men bivouacked and returned to the highlands opposite next morning.
