is becoming nearer ready, for the battle
field, for the drill progresses daily, and
the boys are learning as rapidly as can
be expected. By-the-way, speaking of
Congress, put me in mind of the Ne
braska contested elected case, and of a
remark or two l heard an individual Of
this town whom they-the listeners
termed Judge, make after the news was
received that Daily was sworn in as dele
gate from this Territory. The telegraph
told US hat Richardson (of Illinois, OBJ
jected to MI. Daily, but that after some
discussion he DAILY was finally sworn
in. Daily has some left hand friends up
here it appears, and, and any success he
may meet with calls for their censure.-
On the evening Of the day the news came
a knot of men, politicians, it is presumed,
in front Of the POST Office was discussing
the topics of the day, and Of course
Daily's success could not be overlooked.
Some said they would rather that Morton
had gained the seat, other that they could
not understand how Daily had obtained
it, while others again said nothing but I'M
fairness could be expected under a Black
Republican Administration! The indi-
vidual of whom | have made mention APP
peared to be the most stirred up about
the affair, and among other invertive re-
marks which he made | more particularly
noticed this, said he: There is not only
a rebellion at the South, but there will be
a rebellion in the North if they continue
to :rampIe laws under foot" From
which the writer inferred that he thought
Congress had broken some law in giving
the seat to Mr.. Daily. Now it is the
writer's humble opinion that If an indi-
vidual in the North places enough reliance
in a mere telegraphic dispatch stripped of
all the testimony in the case, whereupon
to found an opinion and give utterance to
such an expression as the above, founded
only on such a report, and if generally
follows such a course, he is not fit to pre-
side over any court of Justice, but is
really fit to be a true supporter of the
crazy phantom Of JEFF. Davis, Yancey &
Co.
Company c." continues to have pretty
good health and the boys are in good
spirits. We have as yet received no arms
and uniforms and do not wish to be sent
to Brownville or any other place until we
get them. Some ewadditions have been
made to our Company since quartered
here. It now numbers ninety, and 1t is
thought ere a month passes, we will have
the maximum number allowed. Il is ex-
pected the Regiment will be complete by
the last of next week or before, as COM
pany from Iowa will come and join, and
the Col. expects that Richardson and
Pawnee counties will furnish the other
Next week I think the C~haplaincy will be
a fixed fact, and l trust the Req. j. Stick

the Req. Gentleman behind the counter.
Query-does he make use of his science
Of hOcus pocus, and daring feats of leger-
de-main, and does he strive TO "call spirits

As / wrote you about how July the 4th
was kept here. and what a tiresome, dry
and hungry time we had then, l must now
give you a brief account of
A ~LEAsAN TIME
which we have since enjoyed, an gaily
too. In the last few days the young la
dies Of Omaha have achieved a wonder
full reputation among the volunteers, for
patriotism, kindness, b~enevolence, and
beauty. For the space of three days
prior to July 10Th, a carriage laden with
young, sprightly, and lovely ladies, con-
spicuous among whom were General Esta-
brooks daughter. his niece, and Miss
Ritchey, whirled along the streets, and
business ~thoroughfares of the town. halt
ing at every business house, and mansion
of opulence, where would alight n or
of the smiling fair ones, and with a
springey, lightsome step, enter the domi- ]
Gle, but how they spake and what they
said depOnent took no note. Soon it was
d among the volunteers that the
young ladies would give them a dinner on
own responsibility allowing DO older
hands to bear a part of the burden, nor
older heads to direct the toll.
