They had an army and navy, immense commercial

and apparatus Of government ready made and In full

Fhe weather and Corn CrOp.

For near a month past we have had 10
rain in this section Of Nebraska, and du-
ring that time the weather has been not
only very warm, bat excessively hot
Some Of the time the thermometer stood
at 100 in the shade. YegetatiOnin many
instances has been litteraly burned up.
We picked tomatoes from vines in our
own garden as perfectly cooked as though
they had been in boiling water. The
corn crop which but a few weeks ago
bid fair to be the best ever known in this
country, the prospect now is entirely re-
versed, and may be an entire failure, sod
corn will be; rain cannot save it. Corn
that was planted early and deep win es-
cape entire destruction though we have
no more rain.
To-day, since the above was in type,
we have been favored with c most glori-
Gus soaking raIn-just in time.

@The Ring Of the True MetaI.o

The Union men of Holt county, Mo.
held a large and enthusiastic meeting at
Oregon on the 18th, ult., at which the
following, among other strong resolutions
were adopted:
ResoIUed, That we, the Union men Of
Holt CO., mutually agree and pledge our
selves 70 a firm adherence to the Constitu-
ton of the United States and the State of
Missouri, and are determined come what
may TO bear true allegiance to the Gov
eminent of the United States,
ResoLUed, That we will resist 10 the
death any attempt to absolve Us from cur
allegiance to the Government of our
choice or to force US into. a confederacy
which we regard as dangerous to our
liberties.
ResoJUei, That we endorse the course
of the General Government, in station
ing troops in Missouri for the protection
Of the persons and property Of all loyal
citizens.
ResolUed, That we condemn the action
of G. +. Jackson, late Governor of the
State in levying war against the Govern
ment of the United States by issueing a
proclamation for fifty thousand troops to
repel what he is pleased to call an inva-
sion of Missouri, by the United States
troops.

Military Affairs in AtchisOn County.
Missouri.

On Friday and Saturday last the Union
men of Atchison county, Mo-, held a two
days encampment and drill at Nishina-
bottana bridge, about half way between
this place and Rockport. 1t was a grand
Union demonstration. The number pres
ent and the determination manifested
ought to satisfy the rebels of that county
that the sooner they quiet themselves
and remain so the better it will be for
them. The Union men in that, and Holt
county both, have been tempered with as
long and as much as they will stand
They have been disposed to bear with
very much abuse and annoyance rather
than take up arms but now they feel
that their own safety, and the ultimate
peace and quiet, and prosperity depends
upon their prompt and decisive action
About four hundred of the bone and
sinew Of Atchison county met as above
mentioned, for the purpose Of drilling and
a mutual understanding and consultation.
They organized themselves in military
companies distributed through the county,
and are prepared to take the bull by the
horns. Go on in your good work. You
have the numerical strength to defend
yourselves and property, and if forced
to it to rOut the last traitor from your
midst. Though Claib. Jackson, JEFF
Thompson, Ben McColloch, Gid Pillow
and other smaller fry traitors and demons
do swear to make you bite the dust, right
and God is on your side fear not
