flag was added the browning crime Of de-
liberately handing over to the armed ene-
mics of his government all the public
property entrusted to his charge, n u even
depriving the loyal men under his COM
mand of all e of transportation out
Of the State"
Still we are asked to compromise with
such men, after the commission Of such
acts How in Gods name can it be done
without becoming particePs crimints in
the reasonable operation against the
Government! 1t can't be done! To
treat, or compromise with such men under
present circumstances is treason.
When there was a time for compromise
we were among those who always advo-
Gated them; have always been for any
reasonable, honorable compromise or con-
cession as 10 great issues that would tend
in the least degree to avert the most aw-
full of calamnities- internal war. But
that time is passed! The conclusion
is a terrible, frightful n indeed; yet
true, and we cannot escape it. The
rebels have forced the present unhappy
and lamentable condition of the country
upon US; the government must be
sustained and rebellion crushed. True
it nay cost millions of treasure and mil
lions Of valuable lives; yet they sink into
utter Insigniicance when compared With
our liberties. What are our fortunes and
lives without liberty? Nothing! Better
be annihilated in a struggle for freedom
than to live under tyranny.

awhile it would be agreeable to our
friends in the South part of the Territory.
to have a portion of the Nebraska Regi-
ment quartered among them, we do not
a%pprehend that their presence will be re-
qnlred there for the purpose of quelling
any Indian outbreak, either actual or ap-
pretended. Whenever they are needed
there, they will, undoubtedly, be promptly
sent"
The above is from the Omaha Repub-
hcan. and exhibits a degree Of GOODNESS,
and an amount of condescending liberality
that the people of Southern Nebraska can
not fail TO appreciate ; feel hugely thank
ful for, and r~everentiaHy bow IN acknowl-
edging. 1t smacks very strongly of
either ignorance, i~mpudence or character
este selfshness-perhaps all.
There is and has been for some time
past danger in Southern Nebraska. and
nothing but unabating vigilance and IN
renting labor has prevented serious
troubles. 1t may seem very pretty and
agreeable for the Editor of the Repu6li-
can situated entirely "out Of harms way
to thus talk; but let him undergo what
many have in Southern Nebraska of late
and he'll +" change his tune"

The Nebraska City WeWS is disposed to
"pitch in" to Acting Governor Paddock
with his hat off, in regard to our military
affairs-not distributing the Regiment
&c. We are as anxious to have a portion
of the Nebraska Regiment south of the
Platte az any one, and perhaps have taken
as active part to accomplish that end as
almost any one else. We know Gov.
Paddock has been unremitting in his eff
forts to accommodate and serve the in.
habitants of Southern Nebraska, and that
just so soon as he is empowered by the
War Department to act, we will be cared
for.
If the NewS would turn It's attention
to the ex-oficials Of its own party who
robbed the Territory of arms sufficient to
fully equip the LIST Regiment and half
the Home Companies, now without them,
there would be more "good sound horse
sense" in its bowling. Suppose it under
takes to tell the people of Nebraska what
became of that $40, 900 worth of Cavalry
arms, once drawn and deposited at the
capitol in charge of certain Governors,
Secretaries and Librarians, not a dollars
worth of which is now there, or in the
hands of organized military companies
in the Territory.

Kentucky All Right.

We extract the following from a pri-
vate letter from a friend residing in
Louisville, KY, of date July 9TH:
"But little over a week since recruiting
was commenced here for a Regiment of
Kentucky Volunteers for Uncle Sans
use. 800 are now encamped near this
city, and it is believed three orfour Regi-
ments will be raised in a very short time.
Kentucky already has two Regiments in
the field. There is no doubt but that the
Presidents call will yet be complied with.
The tide in Kentucky has turned strong
ly in favor of the Union. We sent Union
men to Congress from every District but
one. The Union majority in the State
was over 10000. No fears need be en-
tertained as to the loyalty of old Ken
luck"

BEVERLY. Va. July |


Yesterday morning, Gen. McClelland
ordered four regiments, the 10Th and
18th Indiana, and the 18th Ohio, to pro-
cede along the line Of the hills southeast
of the enemy's ~entrenched camp, to the
Beverly road, where it crosses Rich Mt.
two miles east of the enemy's position,
with orders 10 advance along the Beverly
road and attack the east side of the works
Gen. Mcclellan being prepared to as
sault the west side as soon as firing an
nounced the commencement of the at
tack. The Captain of the men, who mis-
took the road through the enemy's camp
for that of our troops, placed the enemy
In possession of the movement.
When Gen. Rosencrans reached the
Beverly road, at 2 P. NJ, after a most
exhausting march over the mountains, he
found the enemy posted on the opposite
side of the road, about eight hundred
strong, with two cannon, holding a strong
position, partially fortified.
An engagement instantly took place,
and continued three-quarters of an hour,
when the rebels were totally routed, with
a loss of three hundred men, including
ten officers and both cannon,
About seventy-fve killed and seventy
FIVE wounded fell into our hands, and one
hundred and fifty other prisoners. The
road was between two hills. Our troops,
descending a steep declivity, were great
ly exposed to the fire of the rebels, who
occupied the opposite bill and poured
musketry, shot and shell upon them
Gen. Rosencrans' column remained at
the place Of the engagement during the
night.

The following dispatch was received
to-day at the headquarters from General

secessionists Ia Congress.

Colonel Forncy writes from Washington
to the Philadelphia Press:
Have You ever thought what would become
Of any man who in the convention of south
crn traitors, should rise and dcnouncc the
policy Of Jefferson Davis, and Gvow his de-
termination to embarrass the operation of
the traitors army? How long would such
independence be tolerated, or be permitted
to go unpunished? In the American Con
grcss men are to be found who not only
sympathiZe with secession, but boldly avow
their determination to resist the prcpara-
tions for the dcfcncc of the government and
the constiutionand TO refuse TO sanction the
course which the President was about to
take in the promises
1t is a startling c0mmcntry upon such
conduct that the seccssionistsint in the present
Congress insist upon being permitted to
attack the Union, even whom they know that
the Richmond Convention expelled almost
unanimously every momber Of that body
who had taken ground against secession,
and were standing forth in Western Virginia,
and i'm other parts of the state, as tho cham-
pion of the stars and stripes. That there are
patriotic, unconditional Union men from the
South in the present Congress, is true |
do not believe that Mr.. Crittenden is willing
to endorse Mr.. Burnetts course, and ! am
quite sure that representatives as Jack.

be found unreservcdly in favor of maintain

A AEDrocIamlaiion to the Point.

Brig. Cen. IIurburt, of the volunteers
has issued Il proclamation to the citizens of
Northeastern Missouri, dcnouncing the false
and designing men who are seeking the over
throw of the Government, and warns them
that the time for the tucration of treason
has passed, and that the man or body Of men
who venture to stand III defiance OF the Su-
prcmc authority of the nation, peril their
lives in the attempt.
lie says the character of resistance which
has been made is in strict conformity with
the source from which it originates. Cow
ardly assassins watch for opportunities to
murder, and become heroes among their AS
sociated bands by slaughtering by stealth
those whom only they dare not meet. This
system, unknown 10 civilized warfare, is the
natural iruit Of treason.
The process of civil courts, administered
in disallcctcd districts, will not cure this
system of assassination, but stern, impcr-
atvc demand, military necessity. and duty of
sclf-preserVaton, will furnish sharp, dcci-
sivc remedy in the summary justice OF court
martial.
He guarantees protection to all pcaccablc
citizens who remain in discharge Of duty,
but urges the necessity of their organizing
and taking part in the reconstruction of so
cicty, and closes by assuring the people OF
Northeastern Missouri that the people OF
the United States, though PrcicrrinS quiet
uniform obedience to the laws, are ready
and abundantly able TO enforce compliance,
and to in0ict, if necessary the eNtrcmc pen
atty on all active and known traitors.
