Never tir.ee' the commencement of
the War has there been ?uch a streak
of good lurk,, en J so much glorious
news, ns during; the past week.
Vick'burg, the great stronghold on
the Mississippi, and the most impor
tant place in the Confederacy, at last
puccums to Grant's bravery and strut
egy 18,000 prisoners . were there
titcn and pr.rclled. Lee is whipped
near Gettysburg, and torts in hot
haste for Richmond, with a less in
killed, wounded and prisoners of fall
one-third cf his Army, and a strong
probability that his retreat will be cut
off at the Potomac. In the meantime
General Dix has sent a portion of his
army on the Peninsula forward, and
threatens Richmond, while his main
army advances ' between Richmond
and Fredericksburg to cut off Lee's
retrat, should he succeed in getting
a portion cf hi3 army across the
Potomac.
In Tennessee a great foot-race i3
taking place between Rosecrans and
Bragg; the latter running over the
mountains for dear life. In Arkansas
Price attempts to take Helena by
storm, for the purpose of cutting off
Grant's supplies, and i3 repulsed with
a heavy loss in killed and prisoners.
But the strangest news cf all is a
Epecial dispatch to the N. Y. Herald,
which Etates that Vice President Ste
phens, and another Commissioner,
came into cur lines on James Driver,
under a flag of truce, with dispatches
from Jeff. Davis for President Lincoln.
At latest date3 the Cabinet were dis
cussing the question whether it were
proper to receive them or not.
. At 8 o'clock the morning of the 3d, a
flag of truce appeared before Gen.
Grant's front when the rebel Maj.
Gen. Bowen and Col. Montgomery were
led blind-fold into our lines. They bore
a communication from Gen. Pemberten
to Gen. Grant, cf the following purports :
Although I feel confident in my ability
to resist your arms indefinitely, in order
to stop the further effusion of blood, I
propose that you appoint three commis
sioners to meet tkreehich I f hall select
to arrange terms as may best ac
complish that result. Grant replied
ubstantially in these words, that the ap
pointment ofi commissioners was uncec
cessary, while I should be glad to stop
tir unnecessary effusion ef blood, the
only terms which I can entertain are
those of unconditional surrender. . At
tb same time, myself, cflicers and men,
are ready to acknowledge the gallantry
with which the defence cf Vicksburg has
been conducted. At 11 o'clock the mes
sengers returned. This . afternoon, in
accordance with the request from Gen.
Pembertoo, Gen. Grant methirn outside
the lines. After an hour's consultation
they settled the terms of surrender.
P emberton urged that his soldiers might
be paroled and allowed rations for their
own stores to carry them to the confeder
ate lines. .In view of the bravery dis
played by the troops, the advantages cf
the place- 8nd from a consideration of
enconomy, Grant finally conseted to
Pemberton's request. The officers
were each allowed a horse and a servant.
The number of prisoners is said to be
1S.000 two thirds of whom are in fight
ing condition. The immediate cause cf
the surrender is the exhaustion of sup
plies and ammumnition, and . the failure
of Johnston to come to their aid. A
general interchange of civilties extended ,
along the whole 'line. The surrender
was just in time la save both armies
from a heavy loss of life, which would
have attended the attempt to carry the
works by assault, as such an attempt had
been determined upon for to-morrow.
The Vicksburg Citizen cf the 2d admits
the eating of mule meat, and pilfering cf
private houses byi the soldiers. There
seems to have been much suffering from
sickness and cur missiles. At day-light
to-morrow our army march in.

has been sick, and caxe home for the

return to the regiment m a few days. .
When Penick's regiment (oth M. S,
M.) were ' ordered to be mustered out,
the officers of the 1st Nebraska knowinfr
ihat nearly one half of Penick's- men
were Nebraskians, sent Lieutenant Fo
Icck to try to get some of them to enlist
in the glorious old 1st. He tells us that
the men say that they will nearly all re
en'ist, but they want to go home and see
their families for a fe-.v weeks.
The men cf Penick's regiment have
good reason to ha to the rebels, and will
le apt to make seme of them bite the

We advise all those who wiih to enter

immediately, as he will return to his re

Tassed ofT very., pleasantly. ...It; was
celebarted in this County at three or
more places, viz : Teru, Brownville and
Heggler's Grove, south of Nemaha City.
We have heard nothing regarding the
exercises at the latter place. A person,
Mr. McLelao, who was present at Peru,
says the celebration as Icrgely attended,
and was the most pleasant one he ever
witnessed. At Brownville the ' crowd
was -the largest ever assembled in this
County. It was variously cstimatad at
frem'ose to three thousand. In Atchi
son County Mo., they had a Picnic at
Excelsior, and a Free Dinner at the Nar
rows, where there was a very large as
semblage of people. They were address
ed by Hon. O. P. Mason. W'e have
been furnished with a : copy of the pro
ceedings of their celebaation, but we
have no room for it this week. Consid
ering the number of places where the
day was celebrated in this County and
Atchison, it was suprising that so large
an assemblage of people should have met
in Brownville. , It was cot expected, and
consequently there were not seats enough
prepared . to accommodate them all.-
About nine or ten o'clock people began
to come in by hundreds. A procession
was formed with Capt. Major as Mar
shall, at the Levee and marched up
Main Street. . They were joined by the
Ladies and Sunday School Scholars op
posite the Brownville House. As the
procession was marching . a salute' of
thirteen guns were fired.
The ground selected - was the open
square on Main Street, Fouth of the"
School House. The order of Exercises
were as follows : First, the meeting was
called to order by the President, Dr.
McPherson. Prayer by 'Rev. H. H.

The Oration delivered by Rev. Mr.

not pleased- with it.
There were three .'tables, each over
two hundred feet in length, and for over
an hour, they were crowdedjtwo or three

There was'an abundance of provisions,
but the crowd was so mu'ch'rlargpr than
was expected, that the tables prepared
were noChalf large enough. On the
whole the dinnur arrangement passed off
to the sa-Jifaciion ofalmost av quiteall
concerned. '
Altogether the day passed cfT as quiet

The InOLm Expedition..!
The necessary arrangements havfng
been completed, the .march from Camp
Cock commenced on Monday last." On
Wednesday Gen. Sully and Col. Wilson
left here to joint the command .'. The
for consists of about 2-500 men attended
by three steamers tnd a train of 200
wagons, with supplies; for a four months
campaign. The latest reports from the
Indians is that they are in force near
Devil's Lake, are fully apprassed of. the
advance of our troops, and inted giving
them a fight. ! . ;
We are persuaded that abler commanders
or better troops, for this work could not
have been found. G in. Sully is an ac
tive, thorough and able millitary man.
and has the advantage of long experience
in dealing with Indians.
Col. Furras, of the 2d Nebraska wiil be
found, in the hour of trial, equal to any
emergency. He is aa educated gentle
man, proud of his' command enjoys their
esteem, and will never desert the post of
danger. The staff and line officers have
been well selected and are all able, effi
cient and reliable men. ;

B. Thompson, of the Kansas Second ;
Capt. Thompson, Capt. Minnick?;and
Lieut.-Fairbrother, of the Mo. Fifth
Cavalry, are now, or have been during
the past week, at their homes iri "this
county. Tho object, we believe, of
Capt. Majors, Lieut. Polock, Capt.
Matthews and B. B. Thompson, in
returning at this time, is to get re
cruits for their various regiments.
Having learned that Pennick's Regi
ment were mustered out, they thought
perhaps some : of the men would ems
brace the opportunity of enlisting
again.1

late Indian fight:
j Onthel22d iust. a party of hostile
!s;oux can.e , suddenly into 'the. Pawnee
Agency about one o'clock in vdlm,c:n,
and killed and skalped two squaws witu-
in one
i

K
F.-'"'Luhbaugh"ihe. agent's house
hile he. and, Capt. Edwards were at
dinner.- Capt. E. immediately mounted
his horse and joined a bind which he
.supposed to be Pawnee Indians, and or
dered them to gave chase to the band that
committed the bold outrage They be
ing Sioux commenced shootiug at him
with ihsir arrows' a g'.aneing shot strik
ing and wounding him above the eye; an
other biting his revolver. He tm.ndrev?
his revolver and fired two shots at the
iSiouxs. At this time, cne cf. them struck
him from behind with a. war club, k
ing him out of his saddle cn to the neck
of his horse. Before he got righted, his
horse had carried him safely out of range.
In the mean time our energetic and effi
cient agent, .with the promptness for
which he is noted had sent a courier to
tne camp of Co. D. which was about two
mile3 distant, and also gathered up about
one hundred, of his rtd children, the
Pawnees. During, this time Capt, Ed
tvards had arrived at the camp and find
ing that Lieut. Grey had his men all
mounted, ordered him to give chase with
;ii portion of the men. They were fol
lowed by Lushbaugh and his Pawnees,
fvhile the Capt. returned lo the agency
with a part cf his company to bring up
;i howitzer. On went the CO Sioux over
hill and ravine closely followed by Lieut,
Grey and Lushbaugh, for fifteen or twen
ty miles, till the Sioux come up to the
main body of their band, about four hun
dred strong, drawn up in line of battle,
four men deep. The brave aud daunt
less Dison, and twelve men and about
twelve Indians which composed the ad
vance were attacked by the Siouxs. Di
son and hi3 men fought bravely against
-.he savage and exultant foe, until his
horse was killed and himself mortally
wounded, raising himself upon one elbow
he fired three shots. At the same time
Osbourne was. mortally wounded. The
Indians charging, tried hard to scalp the
brave boys, but Lieut. Grey comining up
witli his men drove the whole band back,
but until the Iudians had driven.a hatch
et through the temple of Dison, and had
captured Osbornes horse. Lushbaugh, in
the mean time, had came up with his one
hundred Pawnee warriors, and was al
most blind with rage when they rcf; '.3
to go into the fight, alledging that they
would all be killed. He rode furi.u.Iy
among them, threatening and expcstulat-
ing. But it was no go. The odds rgam;t
them seemed too great,' and they refused
to go in, .
f. Capt. Eawards, coming up and failing
to brin; the howitzer alonr with him on
account of ravines, that could not be cross
d, ordered a retreat after our men had
reloaded their revolvers. I am satisfied
that nothing but the skill and bravery of
the officers and men has saved the
Agency from being cleaned out.
The Siouxs were well armed and
taounted; some of them having sharps
rifles, while our men had nothing but re
volvers and sabres. Colts revolvers and
sabres won't do in an open plain against
Sharp's rifles, at. least when fighting odds
of ten to one, Let those in authority
see to it, that our. men are as well armed
at least as the savase foe with which
they haver to contend.
! Great praise is due to Gen. McKean
for sending re-inforcements and arms
and ordering Col. Sapp to take command
iiii person at the agency. The quiet en
ergy of the General Commanding bespeak
the gentleman and the soldier, and as
long as Gen. McKeau is in command,
the people of this departmeut will feel
that their interests will not suffer in ni3
hands. On the arrival of Col. Sapp at
the Agency he took vigorious precaution
ary measures to prevent a suprise till re
inforcements should arrive. If another
attack is made. Col. Sapp. and the
officers and men under his commaud will
give a good account ot themselves the
men are under good decipline and have
fall confidence iu the courage and ability
of the Gen commanding and their officers
Bravery and decipline are bound to win.
I met fifty men of Co. B. under Lieut.
Davis, at Columbus twenty miles distant
on their way up; also the guns for Co. D.
a: the Agency. On their arrival Col.
Sapp, intended to make a reconnoisance
in force. The Pawnees having reported
the Sioux five hundred strong about
twentyfive miles from the Agency where
they have a fortified camp.

.Cairo, 7 Details of the fight at Hel
ena on the 4th received. The rebels
were under the command of price, Holmes
and Marmaduke. The roughness of the
ground prevented their bringing up ar
tillerj, and they attempted to carry our
rtdoubts by an assault of infantry. :
Their centre column succeeded in taking
three lines of rifle pits and ooe of our
batteries. Their flank attack was not
quite so successful, leaving their centre
exposed to an enfilading fire, which
svrepl the rebels down in great numbers.
They were soon surrounded and captur
ecj and our battery was retaken. One
whole brigade,, or what wa3 left of it,
fell into-our hands. Gen. Prentiss, who
commanded the Union forces, was aware
of; the contemplated attack, and was pre
pared, l The battle commenced at 4 in
the morninrr and lasted nntil 10 o'clock.
The rebel los? in killed, wounded and
captured, will reach 1.500. Their inten
tion was to capture the place for the pur
pose cf interrupting Grant.s communica
tion. '
