MilitaTy-A company is being formed
in this county under the call of the Gov
ernor, to enter the U. S. Service for three
years unless sooner discharged. Meet
ings have been held the past week at
Nemaha City, Peru and this place, for
the purpose of obtaining names. The
company will most likely be filled up by
Saturday next, at viii" time a county
meeting will be held in Brownville.
There are enou gh young men in Ne
maha county to form a company Of So
men who have not families dependant on
them, or who are so engaged in any kind
of business as to require any very great
sacrifice on their part. This class of
our citizens ought to respond to the call
of the President, made through the Gov
ernor, and we trust they will. Particu-
larly when it is known, as it is, that Ne
braska volunteers are to be stationed at
the forts in our own Territory.
The Agricultural, mechanical, and bu-
siness pursuits ought not to be seriously
interrupted now, here on the border. We
do not think matters sufficiently emergent
now; but how 0 they may we know
not. All the provisions possible, should
be raised this year, for they will be need
ed if troubles continue twelve months
longer.
Thus far two companies have been &C
cepted by the Governor. We think there
is no doubt but that Governor Sanders
can rely upon two companies from this
Land District.

Pay Roll.

A pay roll of officers and prlvates in
the U. S. service has been going the
rounds of newspapers for some time-we
published it in the .AdUertiser-in which.
the pay of privates is put dOWn at $50
per month.
We have taken the pains to ascertain
from Adj't Gen. Harding, of this (2nd)
Brigade, the correct pay roll of those in
the U. S. service. The following is from
the official Army Register of 1859:
MOUNTED MEN,:
Captain $40 per month"; r~ations,
counted at 30cts per ration per day.
Lieut.. 500 SO 1-3 per month-rations
same as above.
LIST Serg'tS $40 per month.
I'd, Sd, 4th Sarg't $17 per month.
Corporal S14 per month.
Privates S12 per month.
Each mounted man-including officers
is required to furnish his own horse,
for the use of which he is paid 40cts per
day, officers committed rations if they
wish.
AND INFANTRY.
Captain $50 per month, rations same as
mounted captains.
LIST Lieut.. $50 per month, rations same
as captain.
I'd Lieut.. S45 per month, rations same
as captain.
1st Sarg't 30 per month.
I'd, Sd, 4th Serg'ts sly per month.
Corporal $13 per month.
Musician $12 per month.
Private 81 per month.
The above is taken from official Army
Register of 1859. I am not aware of
any change having been made since then.

Though many and bright arc the stars that appear
In that Tag BY our country unfurled,
And the stripes that are swelling in majesty there,
Like q rainbow adjoining the world;
Their lights are unsullied as those in the sky,
By a deed that our fathers have dOnej
And they're leagued in as true and as holy a tie
In taeir motto Of MANY in one"
From the hou- when those patrio fearlessly flung q.
That banner of Starlight abroad,
Ever true to themselves, to that motto they elung,
As they chung to the promise Of God.
By the bayonet traced at the midnight Of war,
On the fields where our glory was won,
O. pc .sh the heart or the hand that would mar
Our motto of 9 Many in one
Mid the smoke Of the contest-the lannon's deep
roar
How oftit hath gathered renOWnl
While those stars were reflected in rivers Of gore,
When the cross and the lion went down;
And though few were the lights in the gloom of that
hour,
Yet the hearts that were striking below
Had God for their buIwa-k and truth Tor their power,
And they stopped not to number the foe.
From where our green mountain-tOns blend with The
sky,
And the giant St. Lawrence is rolled,
To the waves where the balmy Hesperides lie,
Like the dream of some prophet of old,
They conquered, and, dying, b~eQueated to our care
Not this boundless dominion alone,
But that banner, whose I~OVeIiness hallOWs the air,
And fIo.. motto Of - Many in one -
We arc many in one while there glitters a star
In the blue of tue heavens above;
And y ants snail quail MD their dungeons afar.
When they gaze on that motto Of love.
It shall CLEAN Ger the sea, mid the bolts Of the
storm,
Over tempest, and batt-e, and VIZ *;
And fame where our guns with their thunder s-OW
We a,
Meath the blood on The slippery deck.
The oppressed OF tic earth to thatstandard sha fly
Wherever its ro.l hail b. spread;
And the exile shall scI us his own native sLv
Where its stars float over his head
And those stars shal Increase till the fulness Of me
Its millions Of has an;
Divide as we me- our native land,
To the rest OF Z. gorld we are one.
Then upwith our e ! let it stream on the airl
Though our fal are cold in their graves.
They lad hands could strike, they had souls
that could q e.
And their sons WoIo not born to be slaves!
Up, up With that banner whele'er it may call,
Our millions shall rally around
A nation of freemen thct moment shall fall
When its stars shall be trailed on the ground.

C0rTesP0adenc Of He Baltimore Patriot
PARAMOUNT, MAY 9TH 1861.

Corresponding Of The Baltimore Patriot.
FAIRMoUNT, MAY 9TH 1861.
We had a great day here yesterday.
About three thousand Union men assem-
bled together who have resolved to stand
by the Union at all hazards let the east
ern part of the State do what she may.
Two of the Union members of the Con-
vention Mr., Burdet, of Fowler, and Mr..
Hall of this county, were here and ad-
pressed the people at lenght on the
various questions of the day. Their
speeches were of the highest order, and
frequently applauded by the immense
~concourse Of people. The speeches were
made in the main street fronting the
Court House which was completely block
ed with people.
The Dlsunlon party were holding a
meeting in the Court House which thew
had to have guarded in front of the build
ing by armed men to defend their little
band of traitors. Il.
The Washington correspondent of the
Journal Of Commerce, says that the
Southern States have been preparing for
for war during the last Two years and
have organized and trained large bodies
of men aud obtained large quantities of
of cannon and all other enginery of war.
And yet the organs Of treason pre-
tend that the war for which the South
ern States began to get ready two years
ago, was commenced dy the Administra-
ton Of Lincoln.

81. New York, 24th.-The news Of Col
. Ellsworth death created intense excite
ment here. Regret at his loss is mingled
with a feeling that he must be avenged.
St. Louis, May, Is, A. MA strong
feeling seems 10 prevail here that Gen.
Harvey will be obliged 10 use the mill
tary against the secessionists in Mo. not
withstahding bis treaty with Gen. Price.
Union men say that the treaty so far has
not been regarded by the secessionist, and
that they have prosecuted the Union men
more than ever before. Gen Harvey,
Gen Lyon, Col Blair and others declare
that this persecution must cease, or Gov
Jackson and his friends viii be made &C
quainted with Federal bayonets.
Washington, 24-Intense excitement
was created here by the assassination of
Col. Ellsworth. Bells are tolling, build
ings are dressed in Grape and flags are
flying at half mast. Col z. was shot in
the back by n Jackson, proprietor of a
hotel in Alexandria. He died almost in
stantly-and only said, my God.
Jackson was Immediately killed by
Francis d Cromwell of Troy, a member
Of Ellsworth Zouaves.
President Lincoln who was a warm
personal friend Of Ellsworth is deeply
affected By his death.
n. Y. 25.-Ah is quite in Alexandria.
The N ] troops 3 miles from Alexandria
were fired into by ambushed secessionists.
The latter were routed and two rebel
captains captured.
The Times special says, 1900 troops
are now on Arlington Heights. It is
said that Gen Sanford will command the

How Virginia was Wheedled out
OF the Union.

A Mr.. Porter, who was a delegate in
the Virginia Convention, representing
Hancock county, gave in a speech to his
constituents, the following modus oper-
andi of getting Virginia out Of the Union:
After the ordinance Of secession was
voted down in the Convention the seces-
sionists determined upon some new object
to accomplish their arrangement. A
committee was appointed to visit Lincoln
and ask him whittier he meant peace or
war. AS the committee left for Wash
ing Roger a. Pryor left for Charleston.
Pryor went to Charleston and made a
speech to the secessionists. He told them
South Carolina must strike a blow and
Virginia would goout in one hour by the
Shrewsbury Clock" Pryor knew and
those who appointed the committee knew,
that upon the attack of Fort Sumter, the
Administration would be Justly incensed,
and that the President would give the
committee a hasty and unsatisfactory an
swer.
The attack on Sumter was made and
after two days firing seven thousand men
suCCdeed in takingthe fort from starving
garrison. The mob in Richmond siezed
the artillery they ran bowling through
the streets. They broke through your
State House they tore down the Stars and
Stripes, and hOisted in its place the flag
of the Confederate States. The ordi-
nance Of secession passed.

Support their Families.

Prompt and efficient steps should be
taken to provide for the families Of those
who volunteer from this county to defend
our frontiers. We are inclined to the
opinion that the better plan is for the
County Commissioners to levy a special
tax for that purpose. I'LL are equally in
terested in being protected; and by this
plan all would proportionally contribute.
Any way, however, by tax Or subscrip-
ton, so the families are provided for. Al
several meetings recently held in various
parts of the county a vote has been taken
on levying a tax, and each time carried
unanimously.
Nebraska advertiser., 1861-05-30

The total amount of money subscribed
to the aid Of Government in maintaining
the authority of the United States, by in
dividuaIs, corporations, and States, IS es-
timated to be somewhere between seven
ty and eighty millions Of dollars already.
This is entirely independent Of the mo-
ney subscribed to the war loans of the
Government.
