Within the past week there has teen
an tfcrt mafe, ia cur city, to raise a do
catj'oa to the Mississippi Valley Saniiary
Fair, to be held at St. Louis. Theodore

Tv.i, i. a rr.r ! !.:rh ocr r itn
thculd feel a three-fold interest : first,
Jferaaha county has, in difTerent regi
ments many of them accredited to Kan
sas and Missouri at least fire hundred
fcohJiers ia the field; second, This Fair
is a trely western enterprise, embracing
the Valley of the Missouri as well as
that of the Mississippi, and appeals di
rectly ta the pride and sympathy cf the
' West to place it upon an equal footing
if not ahead of similar fairs held in the
East; and third, The suffering thousands
who have forsaken the ties and comforts
. of heme to do tattle in defense of those
m liberties which we are permitted, ia ease
and comfort, to enjoy. This is no chanty,
yet it is a duty as noble. Think cf the
suffering thousands who lay helplessly
wounded upon the battle field of Shiloah
that brightest star in the glorious re
cord of the 'Old First' left cn the field
for three days to die of thirst, hunger or
mortification ; this was ere the days of
Sanitary Fairs. Then gaze upon the
bloody battle-plain of Gettysburg, where,
though the number of wounded was far
greater than at Shiloah, they were well
and immediately cared for through the
aicf cf the Sanitary Commission. It has
proven an inestimable blessing to the
whole country as well as to the soldier cn
the field or in the hospitals. Thousands
of lives have been saved ; thesick and
wounded have been cured and the sound
"have teen encouraged. No indication cf
loyalty can be given in a nobler manner
than by a contribution to thi3 object. The
figures given below show well for the
short time it has been in circulation. We

BROWNVILLE SEMINARY.
Tho School Board at their last meeting
appointed Dr. McPherson, Theoi HiU
and J. E. Crow a Committee to solicit
Subscriptions toward building a Seminary
and High school. The people are fally
aware cf the importance of this movement
and their subscriptions are very liberab
They intend putting up a building and
starting an Academy not equalled in the
Territory. Nearly 82,000 are already
subscribed and not one half the people
have yet been seen." Mr. Berry headed
the list with one hundred and fifty dollars.
Every man asked except one subscribed
either fifty or one h undred dollars. ' Me
chanics, who have scarcely any property
put down fifty dollars. They intend
having the brick burned and the house
put up this fall.

bill provides fcr an election of delegates
to a Constitutional Convention cn the 1st
Monday in June ; the Convention to meet

and the Constitution framed ty said Con

Notwithstanding the iepuijeof the Tebels

be considered a serious reverse 1 to 'our
arms. Gen. Stone, of Ball's BIulT noto
riety, who commanded the first day, has
been reduced from his position on Bank's
staff to the command uf a regiment, and
we hepe will be court manialed. W'e

POINTMENT.
AP-
Hon. Samuel G.f Daily, our Delegate
in Congress, desires to say to the people
of Nebraska, that they are entitled to
send one more student to the U. S. Naval
Academy at Newport. Mr. Daily is ex
pected to 'fill tb is place fcr ihe Territory,
tut is required to do so on or before the
1st day of July next, or the place will be
filled by the Secretary of the Navy. The
applicant-is required to pass a pretty
thorough examination, and his age to be
not less than fourteen, nor more than
sixteen years. The. expense of going to
Newport and returning in case cf failure
to pass examination will amount to two
cr three hundred dollars, and Mr. Daily
has concluded to appoint a board of ex
aminers in the Territory, to examine the
several applicants, which board will re
commend the applicant best qualified to
fill the place. The board of examiners
have not yet been .named 3 but applica
tions can now be made to the editors cf
the' Republican at Omaha, Press at Ne
braska City, "Advertiser at Brownville.
who will refer the cases to the proper
board, in due time. . Let. "this .appoint
ment ,be filled by all means, from Ne
braska. We have the material, and
while it is a situation to be desired by
any young man, our Territory should en
joy the honor of furnishing its quota to
that arm of the U. S. Service. Those
desiring to make application, should do
so at ence that there may be a person se
lected wiihia the time specified.- Press.
On the morning of the 20th, inst., one
of the' most shocking and fearful murders
ever committed in this part of the coun
try, was committed at Arago, in this
county. : John R. Rice, who was in the
custody of a constable at that place, on
seme kind cf a charge, was murdered, as
the evidence before the Coroners Inquest
shows, in the most diabolical crnner
possible. John Smith, it is. claimed, 13
the person who did the murder, but oth
ers are also implicated, two of whom are
dov in jail awaiting their trial. The
murdered man had three bullet holes in
his Irmbs and body, one of which was
sufficient to have caused his death. His
throat was cut nearly f rota ear to ear, he
was tabbed twice in his side his hands
badly cut up, and his head cut and bruis
ed to a jelly. To finish and complete
the awful and bloody deed, and o con
ceal from the light of day so much wick
edness, the body was .thrown into the
Missouri River where it was found a
day or two after the murder. A coron
ers inquest was held on the body, and
develrped the' facts above stated. The
evidence show? that Smith told several
persons that he had killed Rice. Smith
stayed at Arago during the night after
the murder and at least a part of the
next day had -time" to" arrange matters
to leave, and y:t, tmatccuntatle as it may
appear, he was nred to leave there
unrr.r!2ted, an.- in still at large.
. Ve forbear to speak cf the part- sup:
'prsed to have teen taken ia the murder
by the 'parties not? ia custody, as we do
c:t desire to Jo them the ilightest ;a
justice, nor to prejiidic the isoind cf a

at the coming session of the court, will

Our Washington dispatches indicate
the probable withdrawal cf Mr. Chase
from the Cabinet Under present cir
cumstances it is d.iiLuh to see how he
can consent to femain. The principal
business cf Frank B'air while in the
House was to abuse; the Secretary of the
Treasury." Hi3 last speech was, in this
respect, excessively titter. Oa the heel
cf this, Mr. Lincoln recommissicned hi&j
as Major-General against the protest of
the friends of the President in Congress;
contrary to usage, and, as is believed,
without authority of law. This is. natur
ally enough, construed by Mr. Chase as
an iBdbrsement of Mr. Blair's ooarse.
The President, it is said, disclaims any
such intention, but this ean hardly prove
satisfactory to the Secretary of the Treas
ury. It is possible however, that he
may, in view of the public interests, be
prerailed opon to lemain.
The act of Mr. Lincoln in recommis
sioning Mr. Blair, is an extraordinary
one, and it amazed and mortified the
friends of the Administration throughout
the country. Cin. Gazetted
- Chattanooga, April 26. On the morn
ing of the 233 the rebels made an at
tack upon our pickets in Nickajaok Trace,
near Leets farm, with both infantry and
cavalry. The infantry came over Tay

Valley, and attacked simultaneously two
points picketed by the &2d Illinois. Our
men attempted to fall back but rallied.
The infantry tarred the way. They then
tried to cut their wa7 out, but out of 64
men. 34, fighting bravely, escaped. Not !
a man came tack to camp but cn orders,
however. Five of our men w re killed,
4 mortally wounded, 3 severely and 15

was as severe as ours, if not greater.

THE 1st NEBRASKA.
BATESvmTr, Aas., April 2.
In order that the friends of the 1st
Nebraska Cavalry may understand where
we are, and how we are acting our part,
I ask what your kindneis will be most
ready to grant a small pla:e in your
columns. We remember you as our
friend in the infancy cf cur regiment,
and when our radical leniencies were
the cause cf petty persecutions, the Dem
ocrat never became the instrument of
-our defamation. The command of Cob
R. R.1 Livingston reached this place cn
the 25th of December, 15G3, three
months since. At which time it was
difficult to ascertaie whether, amid the
general chaos, there could be found no

could be found who dare extend a wel
come to the hated Federals, and when
the rebel preachers had fled to the bash,
and our chaplain occupied the best church
building in the city, at first, only one
citizen could be found who dare attend,
and the case looked dark indeed.
But with such a population, the Colo
nel assumed command cf the district of
the Northest Arkansas, and now the fig
ures tell the truth more eloquently than
rhetoric. Already more than three hua
dred rebel cfUcers and soldiers have been
captured, in almost innumerable scouts,
for our men have been everywhere over
the district in the worst of weather, 40
having returned back from one of their
most brilliant dashes more or les3 frozen.
Of guerillas and soldiers, 405 have been
killed, and the bands and companies
broken up and scattered. Recruiting and
conscripting has been stopped to a very
great dpgree, and regiment3 driven off,
that were -forming at points near this
post.
More than 3,000 pprsons have taken
the President's amnesty proclamation,
and at the late election l,Gl-t votes were
cast for a free Constitution at this sta
tion. ' .
Refugees ia large numbers are receiv
ing protection, and freedom and free
speech are once more enthroned, cr rath
er introduced into Northeast Arkansas.
Of the parties captured some have been
sent North, som3 tried an i convicted, and
and the required cath - administered to
colcnels, captains and lieutenants. To
the misguided and coerced, the timid and
repentant, the Colonel- immediately of
fered pardon and protection, ca evidence
of sound reformation; but so many ac
cepted the terms, that many c-f us felt
that sinners' were returning whose day
of grace ought to have passed. To bush-
whackers, however, he promptly pro
claimed outlawry, and when they have
been known and taken a3 such, the blow
ins fallen unerringly. He has not been
afraid to apply banishments, after for
bearance had been exhausted, norto re
ceive the prodigal although the "elder
brother" protested. He ha3 ched the
rebel pulpits, indirect?, by sipV rank
ing the piou3 demand that all ministers
in'thV district shall lead the 'people in
prayer for the President of the United
State3. Order obtains about the post, to
such aa extent as to cause the citizens to
dread a change cf officers. ' And indeed,
it has always been tho case that 'where
our brave old regiment has staid the lon
gest there have our fnend3 been the
mcst numerous, and the regrets at part
ing nearly universal, save and except
when Camp Gamble was our prison and
the city of Louis nearly perdition.
We can proudly challenge a compari
son with any district in the State, accor
ding to length of time and number in
troops employed; but enough of thi3, for
I remember there are penalties for "eul
ogies and comparisons of military men
and thoref ere yoa will consider that this
has not been written. Of cne thing I
will boast, and that is the orderly charac
ter ofthe troops soldiers as well as gen
tlementhe 11th Missouri and 1st Neb
raska, and the section of the 2d Missouri
battery, deserve well of this community,
for politeness, temperance and kindness.
A, drunken soldier, is a rare fcight, and
one small spree would give an cfBcer as
much noteriety as would be of any ad
vantage to him. -Yoa may rely upon 'it
that the" administration of -the District of
Northeast Arkansai, has been and now
is a competent , success. One item fur

who may fall into their hands, i3 furnish

and published ia the Atlanta, Georgia,
Appeal, of April IS. The letter writer
says :
General Ross broke up a plantation
near Snyder's Bluff, killing seme fifty
negro soldiers who were guarding the
workmen. The killing wa3 applauded.
Take no negro prisoners is the cry in
which all join. It is proper.
The writer oes oa to assign a reason
for the murder cf Hack prisoners cf war.
He says:
Self preservation requires that there
be no rule but that of extermination with
armed negroes.
He is not insensible of the logic of
this proposition a3 he adds:
It might be well to have no other rule
with these white fellows.
