Holt County.

The past week has been a hard one fol
the traitors of Holt. But they have bro't
the trouble upon their own heads. They
were warned, but needed not the warning.
Since the time when Doc Robinson ad-
vised them to assassinate Union men from
every secret hiding place, their course
has been one of ~outlawry. The county, is
now full of troops, and several companies
viii probably be stationed there all Win
ter. The traitors, within a few days past,
have been numerically Jayhawked. Old
Huges, up at Marietta, has had his store
completely cleaned out, and hehas been
sent to ST. Joseph as a prisoner. On
Wednesday night, DIR. Gordon, Sam.
Young, lex Representative } and others,
were Jayhawked by a gang from Kansas,
who took even Gordon's coat and cap
All over the county, the traitors have
suffered in a like amer jim Foster,
after having his nose RULED by a Jay
hawker, took his span of mules to St. Jo-
seph, for safety; and it is said that he is
Eow detained there, and compelled TO
work upon the Entertainments. Sam.
Wool has voluntarially taken the oath of
allegiance, which it is believed he will
adhere to-as long as the troops remain
in sight. Old '.Drygripes" has sloped
for parts unknown. Abgah Duncan and
a number of others have been arrested,
some of whom have been sent TO st. JO-
seph to shovel dirt. Abijah could not be
sent. for want of transportation-he could
not be taken at one load, and teams en-
ough could no be procured to haul him.
Still the traitors threaten the Union men
that they will pay for all this. with inter-
est, when Gen. Prentis m up this
way. Poor fools! their hope hangs upon
a slender thread.
We are informed that a company of
troops is to be stationed on the opposite
bank of the river during the Winter, to
prevent Jayhawkers from crossing into
Missouri from Kansas. This may an
swer the purpose as long as the river re-
mains open, but when II freezes over,
Jayhawkers can cross anywhere else as
veil as here. We hope the troops will
Be stationed there, as they will thus be a

citizens of much watchfulness and care.

Editor advertiser: We have been
looking for some days for our wise sOlOns
of the Nebraska Legislature to make
their appearance home, and exhibit their
friendly and w%ell-known visages in our
streets. But mary a Legislator is
seen. Is it possible that they can't sop
the machine till the pa. $500 per day.
gives out? How long, think you, the
session would last if sour Uucle" would
only foot the bill? I'll venture to say we
should see perpetual motion exemplifed
and demonstrated. How the people were
gulled in thinking "them f%eilars'' were
going TO adjourn inside of the forty days!
They are evidently very good in making
promises before the election, but not so
good in keeping them afterwards. In
this county our Representatives were es-
p~ecially instructed, and our Councilmen
requested to use their influence 10 secure
an adjournment of the Legislature within
ten days, and the passage of a Memorial
to Congress, praying for the diversion Of
the $4,000 appropriated for Territorial
expenses TO the payment of The Federal
tax levied upon the Territory of Nebras-
ka, and which must be paid in hard cash
in July next. An act of the Legislature,
and a special act Of Congress, diverting
the money appropriated for Legislative
expenses to the payment of the tax, in
accordance with the prayer of the Mem
orial, would have saved this county the
payment, in July next, of nearly S4, 900.
/ am glad to see that our Representa-
tives remained true to their pledge, and
obeyed the instructions, specific and ex-
plicit as they were, with. / regret, one
exception. Mr.. CroxlOn, | see. voted to
indefinitely postpone the Memorial and
Resolution fer adjournment, introduced
by his colleague Mr.. Reynolds. This
creates great p~erplexify to his friends
here. They are at a loss TO know how
he can explain himself. and place himself
right before his constituents. What is
the use of instructions if they are thus to
be trampled upon?
Our city during last week was in quite
a furry over the fact that a few Jayhawk-
ers came into town, mounted and armed
to the teeth with Sharp's rifles and re-
%vOlvers, but the fact that they came into
town quietly and put up at the hotel, and
paid for their board, 1 suppose, like other
white men, has caused the excitement to
die away.
The weather here for The last two
weeks has been splendid. Everything
betokens mild winter. All sorts of labor
and business is being carried on to as
much advantage as during the summer or
the fall.
Quantities of corr are being shipped
west TO the mail stations and the differ
ent ranches along the route to Denver
We confidently look for a large trade
with Colorado in the Spring. With this
in view our townsmen, Messrs. A. &. P.
Byram, the heaviest frieghters in the

Mr.. FURNAs-Dear Sir! We are
now having one of the most severe wind

Nor Invest seem to be let loose, and for
some eight or ten hours we have enjoyed
nothing but dust and sand, swiftly borne

dust on my plate when / sat down to

everything was all covered with sand and
dust-yet we made out to eat our break
fast. The wind seems to increase the
appetite. Though not cold, it is a real
Sweeper. The town is all shut up. Ihave
heard of no damage being done. These
storms are frequent here, though not
more so than in Nebraska. Not usually
so long. l have seen the whole city of
