,: The Election.
In about eight weeks our annual elec
tion will take place. .We hare to elect
in this countv four Representatives to the
Legislature, Sheriff", Treasurer, , County
fCb - rlf, Coroner, and Commissioner for
the Third District.
We know not who will be candidates,
or how they will b brought .before the
people whether they will be' brought
out by a convention, or, not.- We think
the best way of ascertaining the. wishes
of the 'people of this county will be by
holaing'a Convention. They thn can
make . nominations" or not,, as they may
think beit. It is important that Repub
licans and Union men should keep up a
thorough organization; keep wide-awake
or they may ascertain, 'w-hen. too', late,
that Copperheads have a majori ty in the
county and Territory. In, some! of the
counties above us the Union party have
remained quiet and idle until 'Copper
heads, who were more vigilant, have u'n
disputed control of the county. We are
in favor of an open convention." ! It has
been suggested that Union ''Leagues'' in
this county should make nominations, of
candidates. We are opposed to this.
We think it would produce injurious
effects. We do ;nou however, wish ' to
dictate. If Union' men are penerally in
favor of this, -we, will submit. !But . it
seems td us if men are nominated -in
secret Convention, it . would v have a ten
dency to weaken the Union party as well
as the Leagues.'- The Union Leagues
have a vast iufluence for good wherever
ihey exist ; but they tould not be tram
elled by party ;' should not be used mere
ly as j-any machinery. There would be
danger of dtfeated aspirants arid sore
heads, bolting and alaiidoning the party
as iistd to be the case with die old Know
Notliings. .. : ' '
We understand the Republican County
Committee intend calling a Convention
of the people shortly. There is much
business for the Convention : to attend to,
whether thej make nominations or not.
But we may discuss this more fully here

Route to the,East.
,It is a matteh of scrpbise, not to
say of actual unbelief, to many if not
most of the people of North we. -f, west
and. Southwest,, that from Green Bay
and LaCrosse, on the North, to.Cario
and Sd Louis, oh the South, the shortest
route ' 10 New Yotk, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, lies through Pittsburgh
When we add that this route, so gener
ally supposed to' be a circuitous one to
New York, is actually nearly one hundred
miles shorter than ihe route via Toledo,
Buffaio; and Albany. ai;d sixty miles ess
distance than via Toledo &. Erie. Railway;
this fact becomes only the more astound
ing to the large number of perons who
hive heretofore regarded Buffalo as op
the direct line to New York. A farther
advantage of the route via Pittsburgh, is.
ihat there is but one chance of cars, be
tween Chicago and ,New York or Phila
delphia an advantage of great moment
to ladies and families, and withal of no
less tomfort to usiness men. All these
advantages can be secured by buying your
ticket to the East over the Pittsburch,

our people'generally to try this new and
admirably appointed line, whereby they
can reach the East in less time and for
a lower fare than by any other route:

Cairo is a very lively and thriving
town, and to a stranger it appears as
though the entire West revolved around
this extreme tail end. of the "Sucker
State.'' ;Evidence of the. prosperous
condition of the town looms uprom every
corner-in the shape of large, piles of
brick and lumber for the builtig of ad
ditional business houses. . I ath told that
it has doubled in? inhabitant sine the
breaking out of the rebellion. The en
tire levee is constantly throriged. with
steamers receiving and discharging pas-
sengersand freight. - The, inhabitants
here gaze on the pld aud. familiarsign

hangs from the roof of the many steam

eyes and glad hearts. ' , ' 1
I had the, extreme pleasure .yesterday
of meeting our friend and4fellow tbvvns
man Capt. Jno! L.'Carsow, who is Depot
Commissary of Subsistence at' this Post,
and which, by the way, is. a very impbr
tant Post.' He supplies a number of
Posts in Kentucky and Tennessee; also
ships a large amount of stores for(Vicks
burg .and that vicinity. ,1 am told '.bv
those who do business with him, that he
is one of the first-best Commissaries in
the service.. Ever and at all limes look
ing after the'iriterests of the Government
and the wants of, the gallant soldiers.

The steamer Planet arrived. Saturday
evenin? with one hundred and six:y-oue
rebel officers, captured at Port Hudson.
They were all immediately forwarded to
Johnson's Island, Ohio, to spend the
summer months. The steamer "Rose
Hamilton" arrived yesterday noon, still
later from Port Hudson, with seventeen
staff and field officers. They were
rather more inteligent than a majority of
rebel ohVers that pass through here. . I
conversed with nearly all of them, and
they acknowledged they had received
their education at the North. There
was no uniformity in their dress whatever,
and those who have badges of rank wear
them on their coat collars , (tin and pew
ter stars). Most of them acted quite
cheerful, and were humming a portion of
the 6ong,"4when this cruel war is over.V
They boasted of having lived on mule
meat and jnusty com meal alone, for seven
days before the surrend-r of Port Hud
son. I regret that Cairo has not a com
mander of the right' stripe, one that
would handle the rebel officers that pass
through 'here as prisoners, and not as
friends. On their arrival, instead, of
their being put into the military prison
where our own prisoners are put, the
Gen. in, command here, in person, look
extra pains to find for those rebet officers,
comfortable quarters, which was on board
the cdmmissnry boat "II. R. W. Hijl."

-Editor Advertiser: It seems to me
thatihe whole Northwest is destined to be
forever revolutionizing: the Indians are
never; long at peace with each other.
Isrnorant and degraded as many of them
are, they are not capable of rulin?, nor
yet of being ruled j bat I, dwelling
among :them as I now am,-am forced to
feel in some degree the deplorable effect
of the Indian wars which threaten to
deluge the whole of this beautiful country
and lovely land in blood. ' , . .
1 We are called upon to record one of
the : most fiendish, atrocious acts ever
perpetrated ; on the northern fronties. in
which-three children. were brutally mur
dered in :cold blood,; and, two horribly
mangled. The oldest was a girl of about
sixteen jyears, which had been left by
her 'mother . to take care of the family
while she went to Yanktown, a short
distance front where she resided. ! As
she-returned on approaching5 her-residence
she saw an Indian' hastily disap
pearing behind the house. She hastened
back to a. small village, before entering
the," house, :and immediately returned
with six men,' 'who gained admission to
the premises only to discover to the
stricken mother the mutillated corpses of
he,r children,' and two others which had
probably beeri'left for dead. J '
Col. PatteeWmmediately despatched a
messenger ' to,' Capt. Tripp, ordering an
immediate search for the offenders. We
dq seriously, hope that; these red-devils
maybe made to attone.iri a measure for
the dee;d by a surrender of life.: :
. As after "a fair and beautiful day. a
stprm may be expected o arise, so seerns
the: life of a frontier settler. When all
may seem -still and quiet, they know not
how soon they; may 'expect "troubles and
hardhips ; for. a few moments they are
permited to bask in the sunshine of pro-j-
pen'ty. and then dark and murky clouds
are seen gathering in the distance, which
grow thicker and heavier, completely
obscuring the sky a3 they approach, until
at kst they break in fury upon their
heads. ' 1 ;
Lt..Col. Pattee is in command of this
District. The Col. is a practical soldier.
Two years earnest experience , in the

Bbqwntilie, N.T., Jly.8, 1353. . i
Your paper finds it way into households
scattered from the "rising of the Sun to
the going down thereof and wherever
it comes it inspires confidence in the
ahility and integrity of the proprietors.
Your means of snowledgeare so exten
sive, and they are so judiciously improved
that the peoplaexpect to find The Tribune
trustworthy-information on all conceiva
ble v subjects. ' And the. merit of your
piper justifies in the main these expec
tations. But it would he wonderful in
deed if, among your corps of correspon
dents, jione ever committed an error; it
would be strange if they did not some
times receive as truth the misrepresen
tations of others, and unnatural if, occa
sionally, one wrere not turned from duty
by malice or personal considerations; for
to step aside is human." '
And thus through the faults of corres-V
pondents an error may . creep into your
paper; and when such is the case, it is
as much more mischierous tKan it would
be in another paper, as your circulation
and influence are greater. And satisfied
as I am of the integrity of your motives,
aud of a willingness on your part to make
any correction when justice demands it, I
would call your attention to a communi
cation from "The Far West," dated at
Omaha City, and published in your "Semi-
Weekly" on the 23d of June.
t That article, may seem to an Eastern
man to be a candid statement of facts,
but to a Nebraskiao, . it seems to be
written in the .interests of Omaha, and
not (as you design such communications)
to give useful .information to the reading
public. It is a strong "pufT'for Omaha, jcars together with a rebel cotion factory
and a libel on the southern portion of the ( and c ton manufactured iroo ls t. the

. We may not be , so boisterous in our
professions of loyalty as the northern
portion of the Territory,vbut we are wil
ling we are; proud, to be jinljed bv oir
act.-. Ana to unoicate our reptra'mri
from the libel mentioned above I submit
a few facts - : -
Our Territory is divided , byr Platte
River into two parts, nearly equal in size.
and ihee ' sections are deHsimted re
spectively WNonh PU'tie' and ' South
Plme ' There ha alwnys been n strcnir
emuiauoti between these section, each
claiminsr to hebeiterfldaptdto agricul
ture and tor have a belter route for wes
tern travel than the ; other. We a-e
willing tlie merits of North Platte should
be published it is th-ir riuht.; but -th
right -to .lie" ha been denied by The
Tribune: hence we object to the state
ment of -'Senex." : : L
Statistics indicate that;two thirds of the
wealth and ptpu!ation .of the Territory
are south of the Platte; imore than t;vo
third.s of ihejR -publican votes poll-d at
the last Territorial eleci)n were in thi
section ee Tribune Aloinnac); all the
the Delegates in Coiir-rsa-fro n North
Platte since the Ternary was organized
were Pro-Slavery Deniocrati, anJ all
from South PI itie are Reubl(cans, -:
Three-Fourths of tht wealth invested
in churches, and five-MXths- inleducatiou
al instructions, in( t the Territory: are
found in the; soutuerij pdrlion. D ies: tin
look like the work of Copperheads ? But
Senex' declares- thaV "lh Southern por
tion of Nebraska wasf prjnoipally ettled
by Missounans and French half-breeds.
They are consequently liJteusely Copp-.-r-headish.:'..
: 11 . i
Now if his premises were correct, his
conclusion would be .very !il logical, unless
Missourwns and htif -.breeds ar Copperheads-
from", a ' constituiiotjal' !nce-ity.
which I presume friend Ir'Senix" iuld
rather say than attempt ;to" prove. .But
lits premises areiialse.. lne ce.isus
returns thow that there are less than 500
persons of all ages south bf Pfatte River,
who are called French half-bJ-eeds, and
but few of these are. as' dark.iis a halt-
breed.' : Many of them are iii the Union
army, and we havtnot iheard of a ca.se
of disloyalty among them. Aiid the few
Copperheads we have here are, not Mis-
sourians ; iney came irom oiaies luriucr.
north or further south. ' '
But -'Seiiex". utters a solemn warning
to travelers to avoid Southern Nehra4,a,
and come 10 Omaha. 'There has been,"
he owlihly : declares, "a large number
of murders and a large quautny ot hor
ses tole . &,'?., and tne Govern ir is novV
in that portion ot the Ttrriiory V i.dt-av-oring
to retor- orIer aud rjiiiet1 ' A
opperhead was killed in an adjoining
county abotit the uai1 mentioned and the
Governor' paid a vi;Yi to mis town, but
did not go into the county whiie the.
muroer waa comuiiried. ' He is taiisht-d,
as all intelligent men are, that where
the Union tetling is so intense as it is
here, a Copperhead will, in tne order of
paion an.l whisky occ.iSioualiy get Ins
head ISroken. But, since the war com-,
menced there has not been a straight
forward Union 'man molested in persjn
or propeny in this portion of Nebraska.
It is true that public opinion has boeu
so bitter here aguiust sympathizers, that
several Copptrhrads have left and gone
to Omaha, vhere, : doubtless, they tiuU
more conijenial associates. , This is
plainlylmplied in S.-nex's communication.
He ay nine-ienias1 of the emigrants
who pas: througn Omaha are Cjpper-hi-ads.
And, according to his estimate,
10.000 Mormons will' pass through that
town the present year, on their pilgrim -aire
to Utah Now, unless the migra
tion this year tar exceeds that, ot any
other, -it will not reath lOO.OOQ. And
of this number, nine-tenths are . Copper
heads and one-tenth Mormons. ' Whoop
for Senex ! ' Society muit be very select
in Omaha ! ; A congeLiaT resort for
Copperheads, and "Laiter-day Saints!"
