pj.EDirOES. tOWXTILLE, THURSDAY, APRIL 7. 1854 ' UNION MASS MEETING. Whereas, the Republican Terrhoriat Central Committeeat their last meeting in February, decided to abandon their organization, at least for the present, and as a majority of the members of the TWinrmtie Territorial Commute, as well as many other patriotic, union-loving Democrats, had previously express d a desire to co-operat with all other Union men on a common platform until the suppression cf the rebellion, the Rep. Com. advised the people in each Coun cil District to meet pn a ce.iain day V, ,)Ai mo uiiuMe union man as mem ber cf a "TJuion Territorial committee; as the day recommended has passed with out the people having sufficient notice, Therefore, we request that the Union men of Nemaha County meet in Brown ille, on Saturday, April 16, for the purpose of choosing such Committeeman. We hope there will be a general atten dance. MANY CITIZENS. A serious affair happened on Friday, April 1st in our city. While the guard cn duty at the guard-house on Main street was quietly walking his beat, he was accosted by a stranger with a demand for his revolver, who at the same time passed the guard and attempted to get into the guard house, disregarding re peated challenges to halt; he was pushed back from the door by a soldier, when he assaulted the guard to take his pistol and the guard shot him, the ball en ttnng under the chin ; he expired in a few minutes. An inquest held upon the deceased gave a verdict that death was caused by being shot by. the guard in dis charge of his duty. The guard has been exhonerated from all blame. . The name of deceased was Wra. Har den. He . was either in liquor at the time or just getting over the effects of a tpree, and is supposed to have been a little deranged. This is a sad warning against tampering with a guard while on duty, they have no right to know any one while on duty save their officers, and can xot stop and ascertain whether a man is sine or insane, drunk pr sober, and all should bear in mind that they must hah as soon as challenged. The Riot at Charleston, Calls county, 111., was the most disgraceful ever brought about by copperheads in the North; and it is a source of congratulation to know that it has been so speedily put down. We fear these ou' breaks will become more numerous as the Presidential election ap proaches. They must be nipped in the bud and the ring-leaders hung. It will Dot do in the present state of our country to temporize with such -material, and as aoon as copperheads Bhow their disposi tion by acts, they should be immediately and aeverelly dealt with. The prisoners wer removed to Springfield on the 2d. No further trouble was apprehended. The news from Europe is interesting. The City of Cork, from Liverpool brings dates to the 20th, from which we gather . the following : On the 18ih three Prussian men of war attacked the Danish blockake squad ron off Grieswald Pomroma. After an engagement of two hours the Prussian ressls returned to the harbor. . Berlin, 20th, the.Commander-in-Chief cf the Prussian navy has received a re . port staticg that all Danish ships have left Prussian waters. On the 17th Duppel villiage and Teny berg position was taken by the Prussians 'after heroic resistance by the Danes, and the position at Duppel still unharmed. The Danish loss in killed rod wounded was 71 including one Colonel, allies loss even. The Danes are undaunted., From Hamburg, 17th, rumored, but unconfirmed, that Prince .Frederick of Aagustenburg was found dead in his bed at Kiel. . -Dates from New Orleans to the ,21th .state that Gen. Banks started for the .front on the 22d. Admiral Farragut atarted for the Texas coast on the 26ih. French war steamers were daily ex pected at the north of the' Rio Grand to atttck Mataraoras.

Oa the night of the 2Sih guerrillas captured, plundered and burned the pro peller Columbia, a email trading boat, rear the town of Austin seventy miles tticw Memphis. The Government agent rrcceded in escaping with his money tsx. Four or five cf the crew captured, lit ifurwards rtleased ca parole. T. R. FISHER: The follow is a synopsis of telegraph ic news up to April 5th : By order of Gov. Morton, the entire Indiana Legion is ordered to hold itself in readiness to take the field at any mo ment, to repel invasion. A grand re view cf the whole legion, cumbering 200,000, men, fully armed and equiped, will be held on the 15ih. " The Gazette's Knbxville dispatch says Gen. Sherman has advanced to Bull Gap. The railroad and telegraph are in order. Trains on the Knoxville and Chatta nooga road were detained Saturday by rumors of a raid by 2,000 rebel cavalry, on the Cleveland. The report proved to be unfounded. . ' A report is current among the secesh that Gen. Steele entered Shreveport on the 17th, after 10 hours fighting. ', Chalrner is reported to have a consid erable force at Grand Junction and Bolivar. Granger end Garrisons caval ry are all out, and will give Forrest some trouble. In the fight near Somer ville, Tenn., Hurston, of the 6th Tenn. cavalry, reports a loss of 3 officers and about 75 men killed, wounded and m-iss- mg. Gn. Leo and Wirt Adams' afe re ported near Canton, Miss. While Gen. Grant was at Fortress Monroe, the preliminaries for the satis factory exchange of prisoners were con eluded and approved by him. Ten' officers and one hundred men, belonging to Col. Hawkin's 7th Tennes see cavalry, captured by Forrest lately at Union City, have made their escape, and part reported at headquarters. They say their comrades are daily, seceding from the rebel side and probably many will get home. Lieutenant Gray, one of the escaped officers, arrived here to day. Lieut. Bradford, who escaped from Libby with Straight, was among the lucky ones as well as Lieut. Hawkins, son of Col Hawkins, and Lieutenants Morgan and Grey. Chahner's force, numbering 2,500 Chalmers himself not in command are reported to have been' in Grand June tion, Tennessee, on the 29th ult. Oth er rebel forces were at Bolivar at the same date.

The Globe says the policy of the new Emperor will be strictly neutral. He will not recognize the Southern Confed eracy. - . ., . Real estate is advancing with astonish ing rapidity in the East. The wave once started, will quickly roll to the far .West. It now seems probable that land every where in the loyal States will be doub led in market value in less than nine months. As. an example of the buoyant tendency of real estate, we clip the fol lowing item from the "World." An ex-mayor of the city, who lived in an elegant residence, in?umptuous style, was visited one day by two ladies who asked permission to look at his house, stating that the house next door was for &ale, but the occupants would not' allow them to view it. His honor courteously informed them that the houses in that block were exactly alike, and they might examine iiis house as fully as they pleas ed. On leaving, one of the lauies said to him, I suppose you would not sell your house? Oh. yes, said his honor, I will sell anything but my wife and children. That afternoon he received a noe from a leading real estate house, asking him if he would sell his house and at what price. He offered it at 830,000. The offer was taken at once. The papers were passed and the money paid that night. The next day it was sold for 40,000. Two or three things in this transaction made his honor a little unquiet. He of fered . his house 810,000 les than his next door neighbor asked. He had to abandon his luxurious and comfortable home instantly. He was literally turned into the street. Somebody made S10, 000 out of him. Getting a fashionable residence at any price was out of the question. Nothing remained for him but the overcrowded Fifth Avenue Hotel. He is now with his family in the attic story waiting for something to turn up. . One wing of the capitol building of New Mexico at Santa Fe was destroyed by fire on the 19th. t ... New Orleans correspondents state that Brownsville and Rio Grande are to be evacuted by our forces. , ; -i The rumor that Meadij would probably have to resign on account of bad man agement in the battle of Gettysburg, as testified to by Generals Sickles and Han cock, is exploded. Meade'a testimony corroborated by Halleck places Sickle's action in a very bad light. - A London surgeon, It is said, lately put a dog to sleep with cloraform, and taking out a piece of his skull, inseited a watch cristle, through which he can see the changes in the brain produced! by f leep,- - ,' j A DREADFUL FIGHT BETWEEN COPPERHEADS ANDjSOLDIERS. From the Charleston Flaiadealer, Extra, March 23. Charleston, Monday, 9 p. h. ' This afternoon a dreadful affair took place in our town, the moat shocking in its details that has ever occurred m our part of the State. Earlyin the morning squads of Copperheads came in town, . . i . . . . , from various cirections, ana, as tne se quel will show, armed and determined upon summary vengeance upon our soldiers. During the day premonitions of coating trouble were too evident. Some of the soldiers, about to return to to their regiments, were somewhat ex cited by liquor, and consequently rather boistnous, but not belligerent were more disposed for fun thin fight. About four o'clock, a soldier, Oliver Sallee, stepped up to Nelson Well's, who has been ragarded as the leader of the Cop perheads in this county, and placing his hand good naturedly against him, play fully asked him if there were any Cop perheads in town? Wells replied, "Yes, God d n you, I am one !" and draw ing his revolver shot at Sallee, but miss ed him. In an instant Sullee was sho from another direction, and fell, but rais ing himself up, he fired at Wells, the ball taking effect in his vitals. He ( W. ) went as far as Chambers & McCrory's store, and passing in, fell dead. The Copperheads were gathered behind Judge EdwaTds' office, loading their fife arms, and then would step out and fire from the corner at the soldiers indiscrim inately, with guns and revolvers. Of course, having come fully prepared, they had vastly the advantage over the soldiers who were not expecting such an attack, and were, for most part, unarmed: Those who were armed would hardly know at whom to fire until they were fired upon. The Copperheads were seen to hurry to their wagons, hitched at the square, and gather therefrom several guns", which were concealed under the straw. They were freely used and with terrible effect. Thomas Jeffries was the next to fall, receiving an ugly wound in the neck. Wm. Gilman was shot by B. F. Dakes, the ball striking a rib on his" left side and glanced off. Dukes was then seen to fire at Colonel Mitchell, and afterwards declared that he had killed him. JUolonel M , received several shots through his cloths ; one hit his watch and glanced off, producing only a slight flesh wound upon his abdomen. The watch thus, providentially, saved his life. Dr. York, Surgeon of the 54th Illinois, while passing through the Court Hcuse, was approached by some one from behind, who took deliberate aim and shot dead the pistol being held so close to him that the powder burned his coat ! So far as we can learn, Dr. - - York was not actively engaged in. the affray, save in his professional capacity as surgeon, and in trying to restore order. A soldier, Alfred Swim, company G, 54th Illinois, was shot, and taken to Drs. Allen and Van Meter's office, where he soon died. Mr. S. lived somewhere near Casey, in Clark county, where he leaves a wife and three children. He is spoken of by all as having been an excellent soldier and a good citizen. Wm. G. Hart. Deputy Provost Marshal, was shot in several places in the head and vitals ; his wounds are probably mortnl. James Goodrich, company C. 54th Illinois, re ceived a shocking wound, being shot in the bowels. ' His wound, we fear, will prove mortal. Unarmed as our boys were, Colonel Mitchell soon rallied all he could, citizens and soldiers, and improvising such arms as could be had, garnered at the south west corner of the square, as the Cop perheads retreated down the street run- ning east tneretrom. Dispatches were sent to Mattoon for soldiers, and three hundred were soon on the way. The Copperheads halted somewhere near Mrs. Dickson's and remained for some time, then turned and went off. Beyond J. H. O Hair s residence they gathered together, consulted for a time, and then moved off in a northeasterly direction, cutting the telegraph wire as they went unfortunately before a dispatch could be sent to Dr. York's family, at Paris, giving notice of his' assassination. About five o'clock the reinforcements from Mattoon arrived, and while in the Court House yard, Mr. John Cooper, from Saulisbury. was captured, and brought in as a prisoner, by Mr. W. A. Noe, and a soldier. Mr. C, had taken an active part in the affray ; when in front of Jenkin's store her attempted to escape,, and when commanded to halt re fused to do so, whereupon Mr. Noe fired over C.'s head, who, in return, fired at some of our men, when orders were given to fire upon him, A-hich was done, and he fell dead at Jenkin's door. Unfortunate ly one of the balls passed through the closed door and struck Mr. John Jenkins in the groin, producing a serious, and probably, mortal wound. Mr. Cooper was shot through the neck and shoulder. When the Copperheads were halted near Mrs. Dickson's, he was heard to say that as they now had no leader he was ready to lead them back and kill the d d soldiers and burn the town, or die in the attempt; and at various places he was heard to threaten to cut out the hearts of the 'd d Abolitionists," and , use kindred expressions. How many there were of the Copper heads, we do not know, nor can we esti mate the number, save by the size ef the squad that retreated in several directions We think there may have been from one hundred to one hundred and fifty, and all mounted. Who their leaders were, we do not know, precisely. J. H. O'Hair Sheriff of this countj', was seen to fire three times at the-soldiers. John Fra zier, while sitting on his horse was seen to fire five times at them, and then leare; Q'hers of less prominence were equally war-like. Immediately after the soldiers arrived squads, mounted upon all the horses that could be found, were started out in every direction in pursuit Colonel Brooks in charge of one. Lieutenant Horner, another, &.c. Up to this writing nine p. m., some twelve prisoners have been captured, and the pursuit still kept up after more. Of the gang were two men from Ed gar county, on one of them was found an oath of allegiance taken by him at Paris, recently. He boasted that he was the man who shot Dr. York: that he came for that purpose. KILLED A5D WOUNDED. We herewith present the following list of killed and wounded : Killed Major "York, snrgeon, 54th, Ulinoi3; Alfred Swim, private, company Gf 54th do; Nelson Wells, Copperhead; John Cooper, Copperhead. - Wounded Colonel Wells, 54th Illinois slightly ; Jas. Goodrich, company C, 54th, severely; Oliver Sallee, 54th, severely; John Neer, company G. 54th, slightly ; George Ross, company C, 54th, slightly ; Thos. Jeffries, Brooks' regiment, severe ly; Wm G. Hart, soldier, severely; John Jenkins, citizen, severely; Wm. Gilman, citizen, severely; John Trimble, slightly ; Sanf ord Noyes, slightly. Several of the Copperheads were se verely wounded, but were taken off" in wagons. Tuesday Mortifitfo, 11-2 a. . m. It is our painful duty to ttate, at this hour, that Messrs. Jenkins, Hart and Good rich, are dead having "died at fire, ten and a half, and eleven and a half o'clock, respectively, this morning, making a total of seven killed. Colonel Brook's s quad, going up through the O'Hair set tlement, recaptured Levi Freisner and also the guard of .Butternuts placed over him, six or eight in all. It is said that the "enemy" are now gathered two or three hundred strong, under J. H. O'Hair at Goiliday's Mill, some ten miles north east from here. Whether this be so, or not, we are unable to say. Mr. O'Hair sent word to Colonel Mitchell if he;would make the soldiers behave, he would do the same' by his men ! They will proba bly "behave." There are now some forty prisoners, guerrillas and citizens of "constitutional" or doubtful loyalty, under arrest, and more being arrested. What the end " of this state of things will be. we cannot tell; but if the Gov ernment does not now take the matter in' hand, we fear that the terribly exas perated soldiery and citizens will. Union men' have long been threatened and Union soldiers have been so bitterly cursed, and now brutally butchered, by those from whom better things had been expected, that forbearance will cease has ceased to be a virtue.- Loyal rner here, and the soldiers at' the front, are endeavoring to uphold the laws of the land , but they cannot, and will not, stand unconcernedly by and see their fellows assassinated for so doing. THE ATTACK ON PADUCAH. Several families arrived in the city yesterday afternoon, who are sufferers by the recent .fight at Paducahl They left the town on Saturday afternoon at two o'clock, the day after Forrest had made the attack and been repulsed. They tell a sad story of the misery and wreck of property entailed upon the peo ple by the fight. The rebels were in large force, and the assault appears to have been similar to the one made on Fort Donelson in the winter of sixty-three. The rebels were gloriously drunk, and but little better than a mob. They made the attack upon Paducah, without giving the citizens a word of warning. The Federal force evacuated the immediate city, and concentrated at the fort, erected on an eminence, a short distance in the rear of the town, . With wild cheers and blasphemous oaths the rebel hordes throngfed the streets and "commenced an indiscriminate, pillage of the houses. They discharged their pieces in a reck less manner, wounding many of the citi zens. At last Forrest succeeded in ral lying his force, and, forming the regi ments in battle line, several desperate charges were made upon the fort The Federals met them with a withering fire and in each onset the rebel columns were broken and driven back in confusion. The forces inside of the fort consisted of Colonel Cunningham's colored troops and a Kentucky regiment, the whole un der the command of Colonel Hicks. Colonel Hicks ordered the town to be fired and soon a black cloud of smoke rolled above the burning buildings. About this time two gunboats arrived No. 33 and No. 32. The citizens were fleeing from the town, many of them taking refuge in the fort; the buildings near the fortifications were in a sheet of flame, while a portion of the rebel column were rallying in the streets away from the fire for - another charge. The gun boats rounded to, and squaring their broadsides, they raked the streets with grape and canister, bursting a shell here and there. The slaughter was terrible, and the rebels rapidly retreated from the town. Many of the citizens were killed and wounded by this terrible raking fire. The lines remained quiet during the night. The next day the steamer Liberty arrived from Nashville, and the Captain kindly offered to take as many citizens on board as his boat would carry and re move them from the scene of danger. Many of the terrified ; people availed themselves of the Captain's humane offer. When the Liberty left Paducah the rebels were forming and advancing to make another attack. The town was still burning, and the blackened ruins loomed sadly from out the hanging clouds of smoke.; It wa3 indeed a wild, tragic scence. , The passengers huddled on the steamer, gazed with tearful eyes on the ruined city, and they knew that they were homeless wanderers. The rebel dead lay scattered along the river bank, and throughout, the deserted streets. Wonen and children had fallen victims to the fight; some were killed outright, others were suffering from painful wounds.- Lou. Journal. . Ringold, April l.The cavrlry 'force of the enemy I'as been augmented within a few days and now amonnts to about 5.- 000, and are encamped in the valley at the foot of Kocky Uased Ridge from Tennessee Hill to Verner's station and Red Clay, which'they hold. Their is also a considerable force at Nick-a-Jack Gape, six miles below here. Their pic ket line is generally within a mile of ours, but no disposition i shown by either party to crowd. ' 1 here-is a very small rebel fores of infantry north cf Dalton. Notwithstanding contradictorv re- ports the estimate of 35 000 as John. ston's command is nearly correct. . Over nine hundred deserters came in to Chattanooga during the month of March. Many of. the Germans'who are com ing to- Boston from fatherland to enlist have served in European armies, Hnrace Greeley delivered an address before an unconditional Union ward club in New York City, a few days ago. He spoke at length . concerning the pro gress cf the nation to justice towards the nVroand freedom throughout the coun try0. He made no reference to the Pres. idential questions more than casually, in the course of his ' remarks, praising both the course of Fremont, Lincoln and Chase in their various public acts. He closed with the following declarations on the issues of the day? . ; . "And now, said he, as to the question of the races on this Continent. The American people are made up from very diverse origin and from different materi als. "-We may, if we please, divide our selves into faction, as native and foreign Irish and German, and so on, and be constantly hating,' thwarting, disparag ing, degrading, opposing, each other; realize, as I think we ought to, as we tend iTealize, that all nature's differences make all nature's attr actions, and iha1 men are raae 80 var.ius as they are, by advise benevolent God for good 'and wholesome ends, and that what we have to do is each of 'J in our own sphere to do our own work proper ly, taking care not to harm our neigh bors, however they differ with us, and trying to give to every one the same op portunity so far as equality is concerned. There are no two men perfectly equal; one man is wiser, stronger, more vir tuous, than another there are many points of difference but my rights are not affected by the fact that my neigh bor knows more than 1 do, or anything of the like. These are our rights as men. A wise government is that which realizes that a man's influence may de pend on his character, but his rights should depend on his manhood, and on nothing but that. Applause. - I be lieve that this great, terrible fight which we have in this country is to last us a long time after we get over the conflict of arms. I believe we shall wish not to quarrel with each other. At home in ouf neighborhoods we shall cease, we shall repi ess feuds and factions, and all others except those founded on a gener ous rivalry to promote the public good, or differences of Jopinion as to policy, or measures and principles, whereon men divide and ought to divide for the good of their country, not for its harm. I be lieve that ' his terrible experience, this terrible, bloody and desolating civil war, will be an impressive lesson, teaching us when it shall have passed away, teach ing us as we never felt before, the truth of the unity of mankind and the univer sal rights' of our'brethern of the human race, whatever may be their complexion or their capacities. I believe that we shall become a people wherein our dif ferences shall not be grounds of hatred and hostility, but shall be grounds of generous rivalry in our efforts" to pro mote the public good; I believe that if we shall at the end of this war saV We have had strife enough, hatred enough, ineoualitv enough: and now let us be humon beinsrs : let us be all countrymen let us all be generous workers together for the public good, and nt for anyone's T Villi- 1 . injury ; ' l snail oeiieve mat mis terri ble calamity sent upon us in mercy , sent in wisdom that this calamity has been on the whole, in its influences upon the ountry, benehcent and a future ot peace and unity, and charity and benevolence will extend before us that will speedily efface the recollections of this terrible trial. In that faith"; friends, I beseech you speak to your neighbors and entreat them to act with us and for us in the great work of bringing our country up to the standard, no longer of a reproach among the nations or a light of warn ing, as she has been in the past, but a cheering beacon or lighthouse in the fu ture, teaching to every nation and to ev ery people tne great truth that in liberty and equality are the foundations of na tional greatness and prosperity." Ap plause. A few mornings ago the people of St. Joseph were thrown into a state of won der and trepidation at finding a white cross marked on the walls of every Radi ical Unionist's house in the city, and on the house of some tolerably liberal Cop perhead's! What could it portend. Says the Tribune; Copperheads and rebels trembled least it should prove a certificate of exemption from a general massacre by an outraged people, who having determined that for bearance is no longer a virtue, had deci ded to take the matter in their own hanns and ride themselves of a nuisance no lod ger endurable, and had placed a mark upon each house not consigned to des truction, that when the avangers came I they might pass them by. On the other hand the, Kads were curious to know whether, now that the pawpaws where being disbanded and turned like wolves upon an unprotected fold, that they had not concluded to go at their old trade of house-burning and murder, and were about to commence business in St. Joseph and had accordingly spotted the dwell ng3 of the hated Radicals, Jacobins, Ab piilionists, Yankees, etc. (as the Herald man calls them) The Tribune proceeds to explain that a new carrier of that paper, determining to remember the houses at which he was to deliver the Tribune, had. ridiculously chalked each house, little expecting how they would appear in the glare of the day, and, the surprise and curiosity they would cause those who could not under stand them! ' The palm of patriotism belongs to the family of Wm. Mercer, residing inthe vacinity of Baindbridge, Ross county, Ohio, who has eight sons and one grand son in the army. Their average weight is 210 pousds and hight six feet. In short, Mr, Mercer has 48 feet and 1, 6S0 pounds of boys in the army. Their mother says she has two more that will soon be ready if needed. It itn't commission alone that makese sin. A man is guilty of all the sin ha doesn't hats. The Municipal election for the city of St. Louis, went cf quiety on the 4th. Jas. S.
