THE ADVERTISER; T. II. FISHER, EDITOR.- EwOWNVILLi:, SATURDAY, SLIT 12, 1S33. Qlibmlisg. The Plattsmcaih Scnti d at last publishes Mr. Wheeler's ac ceptance of its challenge. It replies with a 'couple of columns cf caviling and quibbling. .It accuses Mr. Wheeler of corrardice, and au attempt to evade the challenge. The reply of Wheeler is brief and to the point. He scys plainly "I accept the Challenge you have made, and am note ready to lead loth cf yoa to the Nebraska First, to enter that Regi ment as prirates." ' Bt, sa)'3 the SenJinal, the editors of this paper did not both write the Chal lenge; Ergo, Wheeler is a cowardly abolition liar ! ! " The challenge reads: "We are credi bly informed that Sir. Wheeler has re peatedly branded the Seniintl as a Se cession sheet, and its editors as traitors! 4 We hurl the imputation back, " Sec. &.c. . We challenge him, &,c. This certainly implicates " lolk. Both were branded as traitors. Both were implicated in the challenge, and both are bound according to their own preposition to-enter the Ne braska First. They have now a firstrafe opportunity to enlist under Sergeant Wells. Horse Thief. About two weeks ago a scoundrel of the name of Davis, who had been authorized by a. Government aged to buy horses in .the vicinity of Hannibal, while his employer was sick concluded to change his base. He look fifteen horses out of the pasture, and traveled. Somewhere between Hanni bal and St Joe., he sold them for. $1700. He came on to St. Joe., and then on to Oregon, where he bought a fpau of mules, harness and wagon of Mr. Hoblhzell, assuming the name of Howard. He then came on to Rockport, bought another span of mules of Mr. Snyder, the stage agent, giving his mime as "Smith, agent for Davis," and paying $210. He then crossed the river at this place, on Thurs day or Friday of last week, put his mules in the livery stable, deposited $300 in gold at Mr. Carson's back, and started back to St. Joe. to get his wife. He was followed from Hannibal to St. Joe. .From the latter point, Mr. J. E. Hall, of the Government Secret Police, started on his track. He suspected the chap was aiming to cross the plains, and lie fortunately took the right road in fol lowing him. He heard of him at Ore gon, Rockport, .and other places; found that he had crossed the river here, and followed him over. Mr. Hall got here ca Sunday. He immediately took pos session of the mules, wagon, money, &c'. aad telegraphed to St. Joe. that the "nice n i-- J j . . r: ... juung iuju uau rciurueu to mat vuv la a few hours word was sent back that he Lai been caught and put in prison. Theinules, harness and wagon are well worth-the money he paid for them, some think one or two hundred dollars more. Mr- Hall has recovered in money and property about $1000. This thief hr. not display very much sag icity in his attempt to escape. Mr. Hall is the right man to send after such scamps, and they will hare to display more sagacity than Davis, if they escape him. Mr. Hall, as Provost Marshal and Government Policeman, in Kansas and Missouri, has had a good deal of exper ience in detecting, and arresting horse thieves, during the past nine months. He says there is a vast amount of steal ing done along the Missouri River. They steal in Kansas, and bring them to Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri; dispose of them tteal another lot, take them back to Kan sas and sell them. ' . ! The Grave Yard. The necesity' of securing and fencing the lots which have been so long used as the resting place for our dead, has long been felt by this entire community, rtnd frequently discussed; yet as is so of ten the case, where a task devolves on all, nothir g is dor.e. " Now, however, I am most , happy to state that the ladies of Brownville are about to assume all responsibilities and endeavor to have this hallowed spot se cured and neatly fenced ere it is again clad in the snowy rotes cf Winter." I anr desired to notify not only the citizens cf Brownville, but all in the turrounding country who may feel an interest in this step that their tttendance is earnestly requested at a preliminary meeting which is to be held at the Pres byterian Church, Saturday Sept. 19th., ut 3 p. in., where all persons are invited to present their plans or views concern ing this matter. - - A Murder on tlic Plains.

The Indian Territory Cleared of Rebels. Cerre?pondenoe Missouri Democrat. Ivd'ian' Tkkritokv, Aujun 23, 1S5S . On the i22d Blunt crossed the Arkan sas at Fort Gibsjn cn the trailgf Steel, Cooper, and their combined "array. He offered them battle repeatedly, which they declined, and then-he started for them, but they commenced a full retreat He followed them with the cavalry part of his force n Perryvillee, making his' last day's march of fifty miles between sun-rise and sun-down. At this place their rear guard, with, two light pieces of artillery, were en countered, but quickly fled, and . that too rapidly for our exhausted men and hor ses. A vast amount of commissary stores were left by the enemy in their retreat, they not having had time even to destroy them. Flour, bacon, hams, salt and corn were found in great abundance. They were, of cours;, destroyed, and then further pursuit being useless, as well as impossible, the rebels on a road without a resting place till they reach Red River, and totally defeated and demoralized as well as half starved, we took the back track, and are now on the road to Fort Smith. This is evidently the final abandon ment by the rebelsof this country. They have moved off their families, and drivei their stock and .niggers all to Texas. The country is fully restored to the pos session no, occupancy of. lhev federal Government, "and it has been done by General Blunt's dauntless courage and zeal that wa3 unwearied in spite of dis couragement, dangers and delays ; in spite of the refusal to him of adequate reinforcements, of orders to fall back, and innumerable fires in the rear." There never was air array marched as his gallant army marched Twenty-five, thirty-five and fifty mile3 a day, search ing an enemy to fight, through dust; over hills, under a burning sun and on short rations, shows that the veterans of Cane Hill and Prairit Grove have lost none of their powers of enduranee, even if here shown only by fatiguing tramps instead of bloody and determined battle. ... ' A dispatch to Fort Blunt this morning orders a supply train to Fort Smith; which will be permanently occupied as a post by the Army of the Frontier. We shall be there the 30th, Cherokee. MORRIS ISLAND OCRS Tort Wagner and Cnmraing's Point Ciiveu Ujp. Fobt Monroe, Sept. 9. The- Rich mond Enquirer of the 8lh contains "the following : i . Charleston Sept. 7. Morris Island was evacuated yesterday afternoon. The enemy had advanced "their sappers up to' the moat of Wagner, and, it being impos sible to hold it, Beauregard ordered its evacuation, which took place at noon. The enemy. hold Cummin? s Point m full view "of the city. Heavy firing-is now going on between our batttnes on Sullivan's Island and I ort Moultre and the Monitors. ' The following is from the Richmond Whig of the 8th: Charleston, Sept 7 Th bombard ment was kept up without intermission all day yesterday and far into the night. About 150 of our men were killed and wounded at Batteries Wagner and Gregg The attempt to assault battery Gregg was repulsed before the enemy had com pleted their landing. Grua havock is supposed to have been made , in the ene my's boats by our grape and canister. At dark on Wednesday the enemy having advanced their sappers up to the very moat of Wagner, and it being im possible to hold the Island longer. Gen eral Beauregard ordered its evacuation, which was executed between 8 p. m. and 1 a. m., with success. We spiked the guns at Wagner and Gregg, and withdrew noiselessly in forty Barges. Only one barge, containing twelve men. was captured. ' All quiet this morning. Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson declines to be a candidate for re-election to the office of Attorney General of New York, on account of domestic considerations. In his letter making the announcement he submits the following striking obser vations: "The rebellion has received its death-; blow. Ir has now little power for mis chife, save in its ignoble existence. , It may, by galvanic applications- from its friends in the loyal Stat essence" or twice rise to its feet and stragger on a little farther, but' this will rather hasten than postpone the hour, of its fiaal dissolution.; As it passes away, and the law is pre paring its halters and dungeons'and ban ishment for conspiring leaders, let. us pray for the forgiveness of the deluded masters who htve been cheated or. driven into this wholesale murder to min ister to the unholy ambition of some of the most fiendish monsters who have ever desecrated earth. As for the mole eyed politicians among us, whose poverty of intellect has not enabled them to com prehend the magnitude of the crisis, when they shall cease to encourage lihe murderers of our 8onsand brothers, let us endure their exhibitions'of depravity and the ebullitions of tpeir spite without a murmur, and in sheer pity , measure out to them, as an antidote to their ineff ectual virus, that scorn wiich is made most emphatic by expressive silence." . . ; r " " " i ; i " The sale of Farbanks' Scales the present year, f articulalry at the West; has been largely in adrance of any pre vious year during the whole history of, the Messrs.

The .'President's Letter to the ' Springfield Convention. . . i - - - ExEccnva Mansion, ) Washington, August 25 , lS33.f linn. Jams C. Conlli : - MtDear ' SiRt Your' letter, inviting me to attend a raas3 meeting of uncondi tional Union men, to be held at the capi tal of Illinois on .the ..3d of September, has been received. It would be-rery agreeable to - me to thus meet my old friends at my" own home, but .1. cannot just now be absent from here so long as a visit there would require. 1 v ' ;. :: ' The meeting is to be of all those who maintain unconditional devotion to the: Union,randjI a'ni sure my old political friends will thank me for tendering, I dp, the nation's gratitude, to those other noble men whom no partizan- malice or partizan strife can make false to the na tion's life. There' are those who are dissatisfied with me. To such I would say s You desire peace ; and you blame rae that we do not have it. liut now can we attain it ? First, to suppress the rebellion by force of arms. ' This I am trying to do. Are you for it ? If you are, so far we are agreed. . If you are not for it,' a sec ond way is to give up the Union. I am against' this. : Are youfor.it? If you are you should jsay so plainly. If .you are not for. peace, nor yet for dissolution, there only remains some imaginable compromise. I do not believe any com promise embracing tjie maintenance o the Union is now possible All I learn leads to a directly opposite belief. The strength'cf the rebellion1 is its military its army. That army dominates all the country, and all the people within its range. Any offer of terms made by any man. or men within that range in opposi tion to that army, i3 simply nothing for the present i because such man, or men, have no power whatever to enforce they side of a compromise if one were made with them. To illustrate: Suppose ref ugees from, the' South arid peace men of the North get together in convention, and frame and proclaim a compromise, em bracing a restoration of. the- Union,. in what way can that' compromise be used to keep Lee's army out of Pennsylvania ? Meade's army can keep Lee's army out of Pennsylvania, and I think,' can ulti mately drive it out of existence.' ;But no compromise, to which the controllers of Lee's army are not agreed, can at all effect, that. army.: In .an effort at such compromise we should waste time,- which the enemy would improve to our disad vantage, and that would be all.' A compromise, to be effective, must be made either with those who control the rebel army, or with the people first lib erated from the domination of that army, by the success of our own army. "Now, allow me to assure .you that no word or intimation from that rebel army, or from any of the men controlling it, in relation to'anyp'eace compromise, has ever come to my knowledge or belief. All charges and insinuations to the contrary are de ceptive and groundless. And I promise you that if- any such proposition shall' hereafter come, it shall not be rejected and .kept a secret from you. , I . freely acknowledge myself ' the servant of the people, according to bond of service the United States Constitution and that as such,T am responsible to them. But, to be plain, you are dissatisfied with me about the negro; .Quite likely there is a difference t of opinion between you and myself upon that subject. I cer tainly wish that all men could be free, while I suppose you do not. Yet I have neither adopted, nor proposed any meas ure which is not consistent with even your view, provided you are for thr Union. I suggested compensated emancipation ; to which you replied you wished not to be taxed to buy negres. But I had not asked you to be taxed to buy negroes, except in, such way, as to save you from greater taxation to save the Union exclu sively'by other means. You dislike the emancipation procla mation, and perhaps would have it re tracted. You say it is unconstitutional. I think differently. I think the Consti tution invests us Commander-in-Chief with the law of, war, in time of war. The most that can be said, if so mueh, is that slaves are property. Is there has there ever. been-any question that, by the law of-war, 'property, both of ene mies and friends may be taken, when needed ? And is it not needed whenever taken it helps us or hurts the enemy ? Armies, the world over, destroy enemy's property when they cannot use it; and even destroy .their .own to keep it from the enemy. - Civilized beligerants do all in their power to help themselves, or hurt the enemy; except a few things regarded as barbarious or , cruel. . A.mong the ex ceptions is the massacre- of vanquished foes and non-combatants, male and female But the proclamation, as law, either is valid, , or is not valid. If it is not valid it needs no retraction. If it is valid, it cannot be . retraced,, any more ' than ' the dead can be brought to life. Some of you prefer to think its retraction would operate favor ably for the Union. Why belter after the retraction than before the issue ? There was more than a year and a half of trial to suppress the rebellion before the proclamation was issued, the last one hundred days of which passed under an explicit notice that it was coming, unless averted by those in revolt returning to their allegiance. -The war has certainly progressed as favorably for us since the issue of the proclamation as before. ' I know, as fully .as any one can know the opinion of others, that some of the commanders of the armies in the field, who have given us our most important success, believe the emancipation policy and the use of the colored troops consti tuted the heaviest blow yet dealt to the rebellion, and that at least one of these important successes could not have been achieved at the time it was but for the aid of black soldiers. Among the com manders holding these -views are some who have ' never :had; any affinity with what is called abolitionism, or- with re publican party policies;. but who held them purely as military opinions. I sub mit these opinions as being entitled to some weight against the objections often urged that emancipation and arming the blacks are unwise as military measures, and were not adopted as such in good faitbi ' ' You say j'ou will not fight to free ne- groes. borne w tnem seem willing to fight for ,you ; but no matter. Fight you,' then, exclusively to save the Union. I issued the proclamation on purpose to aid you in saving the Union. Whenever you shall have conquered all resistance to the Union, if I shall urge you to con tinue fighting, it will bean apt time, then, for you to declare you will not fight to free neeroe3. I thought that in your struggle for the Union, to whatever extent the negroes should cease helping the enemy, to that extent it weakened the enemy in his re sistance to you- Da you think different ly TI thought that whatever negroes can be got to do as, soldiers, leaves-just so much less for-white soldiers to do, in saving the Union. Does it appear oth erwise to vou ? C But" uecrrofes, like "other , people, -act upon motives. vny snouiu mey uo auy-thinc-'ifof u3 -if we-Will do nothing for them ? If they stake their lives for us they must be prompted by, the strongest motive even the promise of freedom. And 'the "promise being 'made must be kept. The sijms look better. The Father of Waters again goes unvexed to the sea ; thanks to the great Northwest for it ; nor yet wholly to them. .Three . hundred miles up they met New England, the Empire, the Keystone, and New, Jersey, hewing their way right and left, ine sunny South, too, in more colors than one, also lent a hand, on the spot ; their part of the history was jotted down in black and white. The job was a great national one ; and let none be banned who bore an honorable part in rt, while those who have cleared the great river may well be proud. Even that is not all. It is hard to say that anything has been more bravely and befte'r done than- at Antretam, Mur freesboro, Gettysburg, and on many fields of no.less note. 'V Nor must Uncle Sam's web-feet be forgotten. ..At -all the waterfs margins they have been present, not only on tlie deep sea, the broad bay, and the rapid Tiver, but also up the narrovt, muddy bayou, and Wher ever the ground was a little damp they have been, and made their tracks. Thanks to all ! 'For the Great Republic for the principle by which it lives and keeps alive for man's vast future ; thanks to all ! . Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon and come to stay, and so" come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. It will then have been proved that among freemen there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take such appeal are sure to loose their case and pay the cost ; and then thee will be some black, men who can remember that, with silent tongue and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well poised bayonet, they have helped man kind on to this great consummation, while I fear that there will be some white men unable to forget -that, with malignant heart and deceitful speech, they have striven to hinder it- Still, letus not be dverrsanguine of a speedy final triumph. Let us be quite sober. Let us diligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, in his own good lime, will give us the rightful result. Yours, very truly, - A. LINCOLN. -The Principal Defect ix Oor Mohitor TunaETS. At the first bom bardment of Tort Sumter, the Monitors had so many of the bplts in their turrets driven in, that a number of persons were disabled, and now Captain Rodders, one of our most valuable officers, has been killed by a similar disaster. . As our . readers are generally aware, these turrets are 11 inches in thickness, made of plates 1 inch thick, bolted to gether by numerous bolts. The tejrible concussion of large shot breaks the bolts, and knocks off the nuts on the ends of them, which are very dangerous to all persons standing near. We know of no more promising field for the employment of inventive genius than improvements in the mode of bouldingup these turrets. Inventors who may turn their' attention to it will do well to dear,in. mind the in expedency of Jforging and fashioBing ver y larges masses of wrought iron. Sientiftc American. . . . . - - "Says the New Orleans correspondent of the New York Tribune: I have noticed something not unworthy of mention among -thenr the fact that General Butler is popular in this city among the middle and poorer classes, and to a degree also among .the iormer nabobs' of the place. The redemption of the place from the odious terrorism which ruled it prior to his advent here his fine executive and administrative ca pacity. his prompt and decided measures for the punishmenf of aggressive, agitat ing treason, and many incidetsia his ca reeer that have been much commented on throughout the country ,'are here spok en cf in such terms as to satisfy me that no General in the' United States service could have accomplished more with this people. This is surprising when we re member that it is a subject of wonder ment in many minbs that General Butler escaped assassination during his stay here, Washington, Sept. 8. A private letter from Gen. Gilraore's army; dated 'Aug. 31st, says: Our approaches are now within 150 yards of Wagner, but the place is second to Sebastopol. With this advantage in front of Wagner, there is so little earth between the surface and the point where water is reached that mining is impossible, and sapping is nearly so.- The place between us and the enemy is full of torpedoes burred in'sand; making an assault utterly hopeless until they can be reiqoved. We have secured nine of these inveuiions already.' - -; - : The New , York VourhaZ of Comma ce reminds Beauregard that he threw hot shot into Fort Sumter, and cannot see the difference between throwing red-hot shot ; into Sumter and setting fire to its wooden buildings, making that place a minature -hell -for the brave men who were in it, and throwing cold, shot with firey mixtures inside of them to kindle flames in Beauregard's' quarters in the city of Charlestons '' The receipts into the Treasury from taxes cf September 3d, are the largest ever reported in one day frem the same source, being seven hundred and seven thousand dcllara. . 5 ; ; . , . i ,;, . . . U The Full Moon In August. . WTe have no faith in1 the influence of the moon on animals or corps, accor dingly as it may be in this or that '-sign of the Zodiac." That it may have some meteorological effect in its varied posi tion and connections with other planets is probable, but how or wherein, the science and ingenuity of man has nofyet ascer tained to any; degree of certainty.' Be this as ia may, the "full mobh (of August'' has become, either through ob servation or tradition, or both, quite an epoch in agricultural operations. Cut your; bushes .during the full moon in August , and they will never sprout again, says many a gray-headed veteran of the plow. .Look out for -cool weather, and perhaps a ' frost -.at " the full moon in August,'says old weather-wise, 'who has been noting the signs and changes of the times and seasons for ihe last three score and ten years Look out for hjgh tides during the full moon in August; says the "ancient mariner," who has learned that when 'the sun and ;moon get their broad faces .smiling 'toward each other, Old Neptune throws up a big swell of the ocean. Nbvvr whatever may be the the ories framed to account for any occur rences, either regular or accidental, fact3 should be attended to, and practices per taining to . operations . connected with them preformed in accordance with the teachings of such, facts. 'Let us examine some of the-facts connected with the full raeon in August." . ' s - 1st.. In regard - to cutting bushes and timber. That bushes cut at this panic ular period will not sprout again is not exactly true. .But they will not sprout so readily, and grow so vigorously as they would if cut-in the winter or spring. The reason of this undoubtly is this: Trees and shrubs have their time of grow ing and their time of repose. When they get into leaf their trunks or stems, their branches and Jbuds have a greater preponderance or share of sap than the roots, nor is there so much fully pre pared albumen .in the sap wood as there is late in the fall and during the winter and spring. , Any bushes, . therefore, or trees, cut down at this period have the bulk of their . fluids ia the upper and more external parts, and hens'e, less is left in the lower parts and ihe roots, and that is not fully elaborate, and therefore, the material for exciting new sprouts is greatly diminished, and in some 'cases fails altogether." " - . This is not so much , the work of the full moon in August as. ihe-full sun in August "and " previous months. If, however, the period of full moon in August ' marks- a; convenient date or period, when the sap and fluids are in the proper position and condition to en sure death or a crippled and starved state of the root3, thereby inducing lets activ ity and greater chance" of death to them, there is no harm in so using it. In regard to cutting timber during this period in order to ensure greater durability, it undoubtedly is the case, according to the testimony -of many ob serving, mechanics. If timber be cut at this period and stripped of its bark or hewed, the sap being watery and the albumen not having been fully formed and deposited in the sap wood, evapo rates- quickly and the woody fibre is more free from substances that would bring on decomposition and, therefore, bemuch more durable. 'On the contrary timber cut in. the winter or spring has its sap-wood and some other organs full of well prepared albumen and sometimes saccharine matter. These substances are always ready, when favorable cir cumstances of warmth and moisture offer, to start into fermentation and the timber speedily decays. 2d. In regard to there being a "cold snap" during the full moon in August, we incline to the belief that it is true. As to the cause of it we are not so well posted, and we leave it to meteorologists to ascertain wheather the moon at this date is really guilty of producing it, or whether there are other plants involved in the deed and are tnischivous enough to throw their roguery on poor Mrs. Moon who has to bear it," together with many other sins of which she is innocent. The demolition of Fort Samter bi guns placed at a distance of two and five-eights miles, has demonstrated the necessity of facing our forts with plates of wrot-iron.- When Gen. Totten made his experiments some years since, it was found that plates 8 inches ' in thickness, when well backed byv solid masonry, were practically impregnable by the ar tillery in -use at the time ; but the intro duction ef rifled cannon has so greatly increased the 'efficiency of ordnance ;hat it may- require two 8-inch plates to pro to protect the walls of the forts. This would be enormously expensive, but in the end will be the best economy; Any money expended in building and main taining an inefficient fort is simply wasted Farmer B. was setting in the country 0 church. He had been working hard in the harvest fied. - Hands were scarce, anc farmer B. wa3 dozing. "The loud tones of the minister failed to arouse the farmer, until at length the time waning, the good man closed the lids of the Bible, and concluded as follows r " "Indeed, my hearars, the harvest is plenteous but the laborers, are few." "Yes," exclamed farmer B., "I've offered ,tA-o dollars a lay for cradlers, and can't get em at that." , : Free Dinner.
