Nemaha Cocnty.
There is just now a systematic effort
being made by the Omaha JWlraskian
cad Nebraska City News, aided by the
malice of a portion cf the Copperheads
who hare recently left this place, to in
jure Nemaha and Richardson counties.
Fiends dcnct rejcica mere ever the ac
quisition of a human toul in the infernal
rifjions, than they do over an opportu
nity to inflict an injury upon this part of
the Territory. The spirit that aims to
build up itself, and to advance its own
interests, by attempting to pull down and
destroy its neighbor, is, to say the least,
not very amiable.
Nemaha county is now, and always
has been, the 'banner'' county in the
Territory, in its agricultural develop
ment, unless we except Cass, which some
think equal to our.
Our County Warrants are within fire
cents of par, and our City Script brings
eventy-five cents on the dollar.
The News sneers at this county and
(own, and gives the editor of the Adver
titer credit for a va?t amount of influence.
It is certainly news to us, as well as our
readers, that we are such an important
personage. . There are, however, no de
serted farms in this county, except a few
owned by men in the army. Impelled by
a noble patriotism, a self-sacrificing love
for free institutions principles which
the traitdr-loving editor of the News
can never appreciate instincts that he
can never feel they are gallantly fight
ing their country's battles.
We have no doubt that Nemaha county
has furnished as many men for the army
in proportion to the population as any
in the United States. No less than
fourteen companies were either in whole
or in part recruited here one in the
Neb. 1st Infantry; part of one in the Neb.
lit Cavalry; the best part of three in Neb
2d Cavalry; two in Kansas 2d; sixty-three
men from Nebraska, principally from
this county, in the Kansas 8th ; fifty men
in another Kansas Regiment ; four com
panies, from one-third to two-thirds in
each, in Pennick's Regiment ; a large
number,' we know not how many, in
Johnson's Battery; besides very many
ecattering through numerous other Reg
iments. In addition to privates in these
regiments, Nemaha county has furnished
more .than thirty Commissioned Officers.
If the editor of the Advertiser is person
ally responsible for all this, we are proud
of it.
Notwithstanding the hundreds that
have left this couDty for the army, -yet
we scarcely miss them either in town or
county. There is not' in Brownville any
vacant dwellings; there has been all
summer a great demand for dwelling
houses, and we believe there are as many
voters now in the county as any previous
year.
Not only has Nemaha county furnished
more men to the army than any other in
the .Territory, but the loyal, patriotic
spirit of her people is unsurpassed. There
are tut few rebels or rebel sympathizers
within her borders. It is true that it has
not been for the last six months, and is
not yet, a very congenial place for rebels.
There were some months ago a large
number frcrn Price's army residing in
Brownville and vicinity. Most of them
came here from Atchison county, Mis
souri. A fight occurred in that county
last whiter at what was called a secesh
ball, in which a Union man was beaten
nearly to death; a few weeks afterwards
this Union man, having partially recov
ered, got some thirty of his friends and
retaliated by pounding badly two of those
men who had been present when he was
whipped. The secesh then Began to
reave that county, and at first they thought
Brownville was all right. They did not
want a better place. It was just as
good as- they could desire Equal even
to Nebraska City. But about the time of
the murder of Nathan Kandley, they got
frightened and began to leave here. A
perfect panic among a certain class soon
ensue. Every one that left helped to j
increase the panic with the balance.
There has a number left this county for
Nebraska City and Omaha besides men
from Price's army but all that were fright
ed away, if not secessionists, at least felt
conscious that their unionism was sus
pected. ' The most absurd falsehoods have
been circulated, all of which find men
foolish enough' to believe them.
There has been as little crime commit
ted in Nemaha county, from hs first set
tlement cp to the present moment, as any
other county of the Territory. We have
iarj one murder.'but one, and that was
committed by Missourians ononeof their
own citizens. Every ye ar more or less
horses are stolen, but we do not remem
ber one Instance where a citizen of this
.county was found, guilty of the crime.
In this county we have never hung men to
tree as was done in Douglas, nor march
ed theri blindfolded into the river under
the iceas was done at Nebraska Chy.
. Citizens of Brownville did order one man
end LtJ one, to leave the county. In Ne
irasia City men are driven away fre
est mly. The last News sys :
"Granville H. Hail, ccnsiable, escorted
tevenl rouh cutc:nrs to-the Misssouri
river tLe ciLT ? ay. end cave them a free
p?s into Ion a uhers Ave hope, for the j
sake of their own comfort, they will
remain.'
Two or three. weeks ego the following
appeared in the News :
4From a Captain in the U S Volunteers
we learn that Nebraska City is honored
at present by the indwelling of several
fancy men.Vpimps,' 'blacklegs,' thieves
and cut-throats who a vigilance commit
tee some davs since ordered out of Oma
ha." "Nebraska City shall not be made an
asylum for the outcasts of other towns nor
wiil vagabonds find it a pleasant place to
tarry in."
So much intolerance" never appeared
in the Advertiser.
The Omaha Ncbraskian publishes a
quarter of a column of questions concern
ing Nemaha county and the editor of the
Advertiser. These questions were pub
lished for effect, not that the editor ex
pected them to be answered. We are
not on the witness stand, compelled to
reply to all the foolish queries that any
body may choose to propound. However,
we will attempt to gratity Mr. Reynolds
with a few rays of "light." In the first
place we are in blissful ignorance of half
your questions whether they are "facts
or falsehoods." Albtight is at home,
attending to his own business. Whether
he was ever seen at Nebraska City; or
ever attended a Democratic meetirg;
ever slept in his haymow; was ever out
late at night, or how he ever voted', we
know not. Mr. Albright, a couple of
weeks ago, did call on a prominent citizen
of Brownville and was referred, by said
citizen, to one T. R. Fisher, for the rea
son, as he said, that he thought we would
beraore likely than others to show him a
favor. The question of voting was asked
by himself for reasons heretofore ex
plained in the Advertiser, in the para
graph which you quoted. We would have
done as much for any loyal man as we
did for Mr. Albright, without regard to
politics. It is not necessary to establish
a man's loyalty to prove that he
votes the Republican ticket. We have
many loyal Democrats in this county.
We believe there are many throughout
the Territory that still adhere to that
party who are loyal, Union-loving men,
though there are so many Copperheads
among the leaders, that it has become of
late, nearly as hard for a Unien man to
remain in that party, as for a rich man to
enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
We have lately been applied to several
times to confer some favor on some of
our Democratic citizens, and we have
cheerfully complied. But in each in
stance our actions or expressions were
misconstrued or misstated by Copper
heads. Had we refused, and like oth
ers, attended only to our own business,
we would perhaps not have been abused
and'slandered 60 much by the News and
Nebraskian, and Copperheads generally.
No Draft.
The question is frequently asked, will
there be a Draft in Nebraska. It is well
known that we have furnished, especially
in the Southern part of the Territory, a
large number more than our proportion
of troops. In view of this fact and of the
exposed condition of our frontier, Hon. S.
G. Daily went to Washington and has
used his influence with the War Depart
ment to prevent any Draft .from being
made in this Territory. We jiave just re- j
ceived a letter from a resident of Omaha, j
written from Philadelphia, in which the
opinion is expressed that Mr. Diily would
undoubtedly succeed in his efforts.
A. F. Harvey, writing from Washington
says; ''lho release (of .Nebraska ana
Dakota from the Draft) has been obtain
ed by Hon. Samuel G. Daily in view of
the exposed condition of the fronteer to
Indian depredations, and the already
large propotion of troops- furnished by
Nebraska.
A Copperhead sheet at Nebraska City,
recently edited by A. Jax, but the. last
few weeks under the control of some
other animal, we are not quhe certain
who, but we might infer from its style
that it is A. Skvnk, . has been laboring
lately to force the Advertiser to notice
it, for the purpose, perhaps, of thereby
gaining notoriety.
He was, however, ashamed, or for
some reason lacked manhood enough to
send U3 a copy of his last weeks paper.
Travelers in Africa say that even among
the Bushmen the most degraded of hu
man beings the females display a trace
of modesty ; and the action of the News
editor, in withholding his paper, is an
other evidence that therj is no being so
low as to be entirely destitute of shame.
We were shown a copy by a friend, in
which we find the following :
"The abolitian maniac who froths
through a small newspaper at Brownville
seems to have enjoyed a lucid interval.
He seems to be smitten with a remem
brance of his evil counsels when he be
holds the vacated sfsres of Brownville,
and the unplowed fields, that adjoin that
unfortunate town. He can truly say.
these are my works. By teaching intol
erance and' bigotry, by inciting to un
lawful seizures and searches, by coun
lenaccing violence even to the verge of
life-taking, I have worked this ruin.' "
Our reply to the above is tharit'is all
a lie, and the author a liar.-
The telegraph brings intelligence
of the death of that noble veteran,
Jens J. Crittenden. Mr. Critten
den has been an active and influential
statesmen for the last half century.
He was in the U.-S. Senate; forty-six
While he was in the prime
of life our country could beast of
many brilliant intellects among her
Statesmen. -'There were giants in
those days." Crittenden was always
conspicuous among them. . A few
years ago he lost the friendship of
many of his admirers by defending
Mat Ward for the murder of Mr.
Butler. Mr. Crittenden's constitution,
his age, his Whig principles, his resi
dence in a border slave State, and all
his past associations conspired to
make him eminently Conservative.
But ho was during hi3 whole life true
to his country and to the Union.
Emperor of Mexico.
The latest arrival from Havana brings
intelligence from Mexico that the
"Council of Notables" have unani
mously declared, with the exception
of two votes, for the Government to
bo changed from a Republic to an
Empire. They also proclaim Arch
dude Maximilian, of Austria, Emperor.
Maximilian is brother to the present
Emperor of Austria. , In case Maxi
milian will not accept, the Coancil re
quest the Emperor of France to select
some one to fill the throne.
A Difference or Opinion. A gen
tleman residing in this county, not a
thousand miles from Aspinwall, pronoun
ces the editor of the Advertiser to be the
"worst Copperhead in the county."
Another gentleman, lately a resident of
Brownville, and from whom we have
heard it suggested the News, Nebraskian
and Senex, the correspondent of the
Tribune, get their information with re
gard to this county, pronounces us the
worst Abolitionist in? Nemaha County,
and responsible for the murders, and all
the crime committed in Southern Ne
braska. Falsehoods, like virulent poisons, fre
quently neutialize each other.
That Sioke. We see by the pa
pers that a few weeks back nearly or
quite all of Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Michigan were enveloped
in smoke. At Sioux City the smoke
came up in the form of a cloud; ap
proaching rapidly, with a frightful
appearance. The people became al
armed ; thinking a terrible storm and
hurrican was coming, but their fears
were soon dispelled. It is said the
prairies in Dacotah have been burned
by the Indians. The drought there
has been so great that the grass was
parched and dry. The Pine -and
Cedar Forest3 about Lake Superior
have also been on fire; but whether
all the smoke in the atmosphere has
come from Dakota Prairies and Lake
Superior Forests, is doubtful.
More Indian Depredations.
Fort Halleck, Nebraska, 1
July 12th, 1863.
Mr. Editor: I've only time to in
form you of another. Ute raid into this
and immediate sections. On the 2d
inst. the first depredations was com
mitted at a Mail Station almost in
sight of the Fort, stealing fourteen
head of state animals; on the 4th,
211 head were taken from the Iianche
of a Mr. Reeshaw, 18 miles from Lar
amie, and on the Gth and 7th several
other head were stolen from Mail
Stations a few miles east of Halleck.
Capt. Allen used every means in
his power to recover the animals.
Sent out at once every able-bodied
soldier in pursuit, under command of
Lieut. Buanby, when overtaking the
Indians 18 miles off attacked and
dispersed them, but did not succeed
in recovering any of the stolen prop
erty. The fight continued one hour
and a half, resulting in the killing of
Seargent Waugii, and wounding two
vears ajzo.
privates. Loss of Indians not known,
as the fight was carried on in a nar
row pass in the mountains, covered by
small trees and nridergrowth.
Much excitement was caused by
the3e'bold thefts, but is somewhat
subsiding now. Yet it is feared more
trouble is fostering unle?s the com
manding officer, or some one else,
send more troops on this part of the
Overland Stage Line. It is the duty
of the Government to keep open com
munication by this line between the
Atlantic and Pacific. May I respect
fully ask, why is this neglected?
Has the attention of the proper au"
thoritie3 been so long directed to
Laramie and the Sweet Waters, no
other localities can claima thought?
Will reserve further comments for
another time. Yours truly, H.
Jim. Lane and Gov. Carney, of
Kansas, and their respective friends,
are now engaged in a virulent quar
rel. The politicians of that State are
noted for very unenviable broils and
quarrels. Jim. Lane brought out and
elected. Carney Governor; but be
cause the latter has had too much
manhood to be simply a tool, Lane is
determined to crush him as he did his
predecessor,. Gov. Robinson.

Island 19th says since the engage
ment on the 11th, Gen. Gilmore as
strained every nerve to strengtheniis
position on this Island. Anotjer
attack on the enemy's works was le-
termined on for yesterday. The de
sign was to commence the bombald
ment at daylight, but on account of
terrific thunder storm, the actiln
did not commence until noon. It
that hour the Montauk; "Ironsidjs,
Catskill, Nantucket, Weehawken aid
Patapsco moved into line within ja
mile of Fort Wagner,: and commencid
hurling their heaviest shot and shell
into the Fort. . With intervals of bit
few minutes, they continued tne
errible bombardment until an hotir
after sundown. Just at the close cf
he engagement, and a few minutes
before the assault, the Montauk ruu
directly under the guns. .of. Warner,
within oOO yards, and fired several
rounds, making one huge sand heai
of that portion of the fort facing thfc
sea, ana dismounting two of their
heavies guns. During all this time
54 guns from our land batteries kept
up a continuous fire on the rebel works
Although the Fort mounted 13 riled
guns of heavy calibre, they conde
scended to reply ; with only two, tme
upon the whole fleet of ironclads, and
one upon the entire hne of land tat-
enes. They fired about one shot to
our hundred rather over than unSer
estimate. For the assault Gen. Strong
was assigned command of the first
brigade, Col Putnam of the secend.
