Southern Fury.

The Richmond Wing of the 24th, has
the following communication from some
Southern Bombastsi
"THe Devoted Band. The shortest
path TO peace is that which carries havoc
and desolation to our invaders: It is be-
lieved that there are five to ten thousand
men in the South ready and willing to
share the fate Of Curtis, and devote
themselves to the salvation Of their coun-
try. 1t is proposed hat all who are will
ling to make the sacrifice shall arm them
selves with a sword. two five shooters,
and a carbine each, and shall meet on
horseback at some place to be designated
convenient for the great work Oh hand.
Fire and sword must be carried TO the
houses of those who are visiting those
blessings upon their neighbors. Phila-
delphia and even New York are not be-
bond the reach of a long brave arm
The moral people Of those cities cannot
be better taught the virtues of invasion
than by the blazing light Of their own
dwellings.
None need apply for admission to the
Devoted Band" bat those who are pre-
pared to take their lives in their hands
and who would not indulge the least ex.
pectation of ever returning. They ded.
icate their lives to The destruction Of oul
enemies! ASBDB

action, Ike the gentle South wind, will
only meet with Northern frosts, and ad-

will be like the history Of the war, and

while the irons hot! Our enemies are
whipped in Virginia. They have been
whipped in Missouri. Gen. Hardee ad.
vances in the centre, Gen. Pillow on the
right, and Gen. McCulloch on the left,
with twenty thousand brave Southern
hearts to our aid. So leave your plows
in the furrow, your OK to the yoke, and
rush Ike a tornado upon our invaders
and foes, to sweep them from the face Of
the earth, or force them from the soil Of
our State! Brave sons of the Ninth dis
,trict, come and join US. We have plenty
Of ammunition, and the cattle on ten thou
sand hills are ours. We have forty thou
sand Belgian muskets coming; but bring
your guns and muskets with you, if you
have them, if not, come without them.
We will strike our foes like a Southern
thunderboldt, and soon our camp fires will
illuminate the Meramec and Missouri.
Come, turn out.

Military Election.

The election held at this city, on lastT1arsday, by the
commissioned officers Of the % Brigade Of the Nebraska
Militia, for Brigadier General to I'LL the vacancy occa-
stoned b. the resignation OF Gen. Downs, resulted in
the selection Of Isaac :Coe, Esq, of this city. Thirty
three officers were present or represented by proxy, and
Gen. Coe received a very H~attering majority of the
totes. He is a gentleman Of energy and good ~Qualifca-
lions, and and Will make an eaicient and competent Of
Gcer.
After the election, tie officers present and a number
Of invited guests were entertained in a liberal manner
by the General at the Morton House, where there was
was a sparkling How Of wit, good feeling and champagne.
There is a general revival Of military spirit in our
Territory, and it is certainly the part Of prudence and
wisdom that our entire militia organization should be
made as efficient and complete as possible, to be prepar-
ed for any emergency. Tho Second Brigade having Sc
cured q General who will take a special interest IN bring
ing 1t to @ high state of enciency, We trust all compan-
les throughout the Brigade will at once complete their
organization, 50 that b~attalions and regiments may be
promptly formed aud the organization completed, and
rendered em2ient by a regular system Of drill.
GEN. R. W. FURNAs.-Tbis gentleman, vino hss for
a short time been acting as Brigadier-General of fhe
ID Brigade Of our Militia by appointment Of the Goyer-
nor, received a handsome vote at the election on Thurs
day, to permanently I'll that office. Although he was
not selected FOR the position, we think we speak the
sentiments Of the officers and men o the Brigade gener-
ally, when we say that it was from no distrust Of his
qualifications, nor from any lack Of confidence that he
would discharge the duties faithfully and c~reditably.
He has heretofore taken a deep interest in military af-
fairs in our Territory, and we are assured will continue
to do so in whatever position he may be placed. Should
opportunity offer, hereafter, our military will no doubt
manifest :heir appreciation Of his merits.-NeBrGskd

Pillow, late General In the rebel ar
ray, made a mistake at Memphis, which
was nearly as unfortunate as his famous
ditch in Mexico. Parson Brownlow tells
the story in the Knoxville Wing:
Previous to Gen. Pillow being super
coded by Bishop Polk, be went to New
Orleans and procured a huge chain ca
bic, costing him S25 600, and brought
It TO Memphis TO blockade the river, by
stretching it over and resting it on buoys
The cable, carriage and work cost about
$4,000. The first big tide came, bring
ing down the usual amount of trees, logs
and drift-woOd, swept his cable and sup
Porters, as@auy latboat captain would
have informed the confederate authon-
ties would certainly have been the case.
