RrigadIer General COa.

On Thursday last an election was held
in this city for the selection Of a Briga-
der General, in the place Of General
Downs, who has now gone into the reg
ullr service as Lieut.. Col. Quite a
sparifed time was witnessed. There be-
ing, after the election of a General, a
general C(h)ampaign, in which there
we're a great many disabled. The can
didates were Isaac Coe, Esq, of this
city, and Col. Robert w. Furnas, Brown
vile. Nh. Coe was the favorite Indiyid-
ual chosen others who participated in
the conflict were not elevated to the same
position. We congratulate the militia of
the Territory upon the excellent choice
made. We know Mr.. Coe like a book
and know him to be a most thorough, and
energetic and accomplished gentleman.
He also has lots of money, and is not
gingerly and stingy in its disbursement.
Whatever Coe undertakes is bound to go
through. Here is success and our B8@
to Gen. Coe.
In this connection we with pleasure
say, had our brother of the quill, Colonel
Furnas, been selected, the position would
have been more honored than the Col.
Foremost in every good word and work,
%enterprising and industrious, Col. Fur
mas possesses many qualities recognlza-
bic in his more successful competitor,
Brig. Gen. Nebraska City Nsws.
We suggest most respectfully to Gen..
Coz that he proceed to organize the dis
trict composing his brigade, say each
county on the river, and those west as a
regiment. The necessary number Of
companies are already, or soon can
be organized for this purpose. Concert
of action and efficiency can thus be Sc
cured, hat we are convinced, can be had
in no other way. Then see that the In
dams on our Western borders are not on
ly loyal and true, but that in case of an
UaSiOn they can be relied on for assis-
lance. It will not do to rely much upon
General Government for aid in this cri-
sis, in case hostilities extend within our
borders. We know no what a day may
bring forth. These are times without
a precedent in the history of our coun-
try, and it becomes US to be thoroughly
prepared to do the work ourselves if oc-
casion should require.

call into requisition all our patriotism in
genuilv and resources. There is no mis-
take about it, and we may as well look
the matter square in the face, and pre-
pare ourselves as speedily as possible
for any and every emergency. Our last
cent may be required in the struggle, and
surely our means and even lives could not
be expended to a more sacred or holy
cause.
Tw%enty-nine thousand dollars to be
raised annually by the people Of Nebras-
ka; her people, possessed as they gen.
orally axe, Of very limited means, will
require a mighty effort, and yet we be-
lieve they will do it cheerfrlly for the
purposes for which it is designed. But,
we repeat, let every other burthen not
essential to their ~existeneeebe taken from
them.

Frank Admission.

The News in reply to our suggestion
that he give some account of the missing
arms in this Territory, and stir up the er-
officials for allowing them to be stolen
says:
eve don't know but Just now we have
a disposition to crafty the cratic tastes
Of our friend of the .fdUertiser, but
having so often spoken in such compli
mentary terms of Ex.G Governor Black, we
cannot now with propriety, turn to villify
and abuse the man, without losing our

sistency."
That's very frank on your part, Bro.
REYNOLDS and according to the same
system of reasoning, we suppose, to main
tain your reputation for consistency
you would not "pitch into'' a murderer

BY reference TO the above it will be
seen that the tax on Nebraska will be, in
round numbers, $4,000. In view of
of this large sum of money, and the i'm
portance Of its being promptly raised we
trust the Territorial and County author
tiles Will dispense for the present, with
every other tax, not really essential to
our extence.
Not only do we think that this should
be done, but we think that the Legisla-
ture should suspend the courts for the

tpon the rebellion as Of less magnitude
than it really Is. When we consider the
fact that it has been fostered for thirty
years, past and gathering strength from
year to year, month to month, and day to
day, we cannot fail to see and acknowl-
edge that 1t IS Of v4sf magnitude to

For one, and TO speak our individual
convictions, we answer no! We can see
no good 10 come from such a course, but
on the contrary that much evil may, and
most likely viii. In the present struggle
10 sustain the government and overthrow
rebellion, party lines and issues have
for the time being become obliterated,
and must necessarily, in our opinion, re-
main so until tits ended. Patriots what
ever may heretofore have been their po-
htical preferences or affiliations have
thrown them aside and stand upon a COM
mon platform for the preservation and
perpetuity Of our government, which
rises high above party lines or distinc-
tons. The emergency requires the
united. effort Of every lover of this coun-
try be be Wing Democrat, Republican or
American; foreign or native born; be he
a resident Of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York or Nebraska. We can see no issue
now other than for or against the govern
ment. These we repeat are our individ-
ual convictions. If the people of this
county and Territory thus feel and are IN
clined to enter into any harmonious ar
rangement by which the best men can be
selected to fill our Offices, we cannot see
why it would not be for the better. 1t
can in our humble opinion be done with
out any sacrifice Of political opinions or
principles. But if good faith be not ex-
ercised, and the object be to advance the
particular promotion or interest of this
that or the other individual or lOcal5y,why
then we say ''hands off," Better be
beaten. than humbugged any time.
We have c~onrersed with quite a num-
Der Of leading menfrom various portions
of our county, and we believe the gener-
al opinion is adverse to the drawing of
party lines this fall.
In the selection of men 10 fill Offices of
honor, trust or profit, from fence-viewer
to the Legislature, we insist upon the peo-
pie, as they value their best interests, to
knOw not only how aspirants nOw stand
but how they haze stood upon the great
questiOn-for, or against the government.
Antecedants in this matter should be
everything, present pledges, but little if
anything. Let no man who is in the
least tinctured with secession have any
place however humble, among US.
The better way, we think, to get at a
harmonious action is to call a convention
Of all who are in favor of the uncondi-
tionaly preservation of the Union, and
the maintenance Of the integrity of the
National government and who will aic
the administration in its efforts TO carry
out these objects.

Nebraska Regiment.

We noticed last week that five compa-
MES of the Nebraska Regiment had gone
down the River on the Steamer West
Wind. There destination was not known
at the time. 1t appears they were as far
as independence, Mo, where they had
a little brush with "seseshers." They
dispersed an organization of rebels at that
place, and liberated a number of Union
men who had been taken prisoners, and
were confined in jail. They then return
ed to St. Joseph, where they now are
and to which place the balance of the re-
giment has been ordered by Gen. Ere
mont. They may remain there for a
while at least but we presume they will
soon be called into active service at Cairo
Wherever the Nebraska Regiment may
go, or in what service they may be en-
gagged, we have no fears but that they'll
do their duty as brave loyal soldiers, and
be Justly entitled to the plaudit "well
done, good and faithful servants"
The remainder of the Regiment will
be down on the West Wind to-day or to-
morrow.

FAIRBANKS 1t is a significant fact, which
the public will appreciate. that whenever new scale
are put upon the market, as large numbers have been
from time 20 time during The last thirty years, it
seems to be the first and chief aim Of the makers to
show that they are the same as Fairbanks or like
them. or have taken premiums over tnem, thus reccs-
mixing the latter as the standard for excellence, ard
showing the strong hold they have upon the public con-
fdence. Its a wsll-knOwn fact that while most Of
these scales have, after more or less trial, passed
mainly out OF use, Fairbanks have gene steadily for
ward, increasing in public favor year after year, and
are now much more generally used than all others, not
only in this country, but wherever American commerce
has been carried. This could not be so if they were not

bility. as well as convenience ana accuracy Chicago
