Gov, Saunders,

The Nebraska City News, with char
acteristic indecency undertakes to cast a
reflection upon Gov. Saunders for his re-
cent absence from the Territory.
We do know whereof we speak when
we say that the Governor deserves the
warmest thanks of our entire people for
his earnest efforts to advance the gener-
al interest of the Territory, during his
long and expensive visit at the National
Capitol, undertaken for hat purpose a.
lone. 1t is su&cient dow to say hat he
procured for the Regiment which carries
with it the name of our Territory, and
the hearts of our loyal people, a supply
of clothing and equipments, so complete
that our friends and relatives COMPOSING
the regiment have been made more COM
Portable, and better prepared in respect
to arms, &C., to meet the enemy hal is
any other sipilar body of men in the
Military department.
Gov. Saunders came here 10 live per.
manently. He feels as great an inter.
est IN Nebraska as any of our citizens,
His practical ability, and influence with
prominent statesmen, will make him a
most valuable officer for our Territory,
We are not disposed to institute a COM
parison between him and his predecessor
in office, but If that were 10 be done Gov.
Saunders would be perfectly SAFE Oma-
hd ReDubLibdn.

Trouble ON the Frontier.

Latest advices from the frontier state
that 5000 Indians are encamped on the
forks OF the Republican, in Kansas, and
T committing all sorts of depredations
in that vicinity. Several families have
been murdered. The frequent occurrence
of murder on our frontier by merciless
Indians, demand that some immediate
steps be taken by Government for the
protection of pioneer settlers. Three
Companies of Cavalry have been accep-
ted from this Territory, and by all means
now that we are deprived of the SER
vices of the Nebraska Regiment-let ao-
tive steps. be taken by the Governor to
have them stationed upon the frontier
to protect the homes and prevent further
slaughter of women and children by the
scalping knife of the reckless savages.-
We ask in the name of humanity, that
the cry of the settlers be needed, before
the vast plains of the West are laid
waste, and the prairie crimsoned with the
blood of defenceless citizens.-Omaha

The burning of the Plattee bridge by
the s~ecessionists on the Hannibal and st.
10 Railroad, ought by every good citizen,
wherever he may live, whatever may be
his sympathies and associations, 10 be
pronounced diabolical and fendish in the
extreme. Who know what were the
sentiments of nine-tenths of the inno-
cent passengers, who were precipitated
down that terrible embankment How
did the satanic individuals. who burnt the
bridge, know whether their waFmest
friends or bitterest enemies, would the
first be hurried down the awful abyss.
Aside from all rules of civilized warfare
in thus destroying private property, there
must inevitably result in wholesale MUIR
der of innocent persons in the perpetra-
tion of such a crime. It does seem to
US hat the very spirit of demons must
possess any men who would besguilty Of
such ae act. A continuance and repeti-
ton Of the same. would sink in everlast-
inf ruin any cause, though it emanated
from and possessed the virtue Of heaven.
