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.,

to present their plans or views concern

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

may, by galvanic applications- from its

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.

Mohitor TunaETS. At the first bom

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.

"Says the New Orleans correspondent
of the New York Tribune:
I have noticed something not unworthy
of mention among -thenr the fact that

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

pacity. his prompt and decided measures
for the punishmenf of aggressive, agitat

reeer that have been much commented
on throughout the country ,'are here spok

no General in the' United States service
could have accomplished more with this

escaped assassination during his stay

Washington, Sept. 8. A private letter
from Gen. Gilraore's army; dated 'Aug.

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 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
