ever, when the circumstances OF climate
locality and the various ~bardshiPs and
exposures through which our regiment
has passed, are taken into consideration.
| might relate many details Of exposures
and fatigpes, but they would make a too
lengthy letter, suffice il TO say that such
is the lot of the soldier in active service
and it becomes his duty 10 bear 1t with
manly fortitude.
Company &c" has prOspered as well
perhaps. as any other; but one, Robert
Hester. has died since coming into this
camp, and but one, A. P. Rolston, is now
considered dangerously i'll. Of the regi
ment ten have died since coming here.
The Brownviile boys are generally
well. Lieut.. Berger has resigned. Serg'l
T. H. Griffin has been admitted into the
shoulder strap fraternity. Serg't Pollock
and Buckley are in good condition.
"Charley Me-" is as fat aud full OF fun
as usual.
We are all anxious to know when this
now monstrous rebellion will be put down,
or will it be put down? Each asks the
other his opinion of the matter. At the
present rates, some anxiety has been ex.
pressed about it. Has not so much time
elapsed that our army has lost as many
by sickness in camp and in hospital, as
by battle? Have not too many Of our
soldiers been used TO protect rebel prop
erty, while rebels themselves are using
their utmost exertions TO cut our throats

and l know most of the soldiers feel the
same way. Indeed l have not heard q

buckle on his armor with new energy

ed grapevines, and consequently few do
nestle grapes. But wild grapes are found
this season, in great abundance.
There is no better country in the world
than this for garden vegetables. Sweet
potatoes and melons grow here nearly OF
quite as large as they do near ~thetrOpics.'
Water melons weighing thirty, forty and
even fifty pounds are quite frequent. 1t
is indeed probable that many things of a
semi,trOpical nature, that will not grow
in this latitude farther east can be culti-
waited to advantage here.
Several experiments at raising Cotton
have been successfully tried in Nemaha
county. Many who were at first inclined
to be skeptlcal now admit that it may be-
come one of the staple articles. We we're
shown last spring several pounds of Cot
ton yarn hat was raised and spun by the
family Of:ArchibaId Handley. DR.. Gwin
of this place is this season raising a small
pach of Cotton to test the experiment F.; and
although it was planted late-after the
middle of May; yet, promises to yield
well, and to mature before frost comes.
The great drawback to farmers this
season is the want of a convenient mar
ket, for most Of :heir crops. The only
article raised by farmers, THAI will pay
him literally for his labor IS tobacco
The price of grain At St. Louis will pro-
baby be no higher than..it was las; year.
1t will, therefore, only be those who are
compelled to sell at any price, that viii
have their grain shipped down the river.
Farmers who can send their corn and
-four to Colorado, if they happen to hit
the markets right will doubtless do well.

CrOnS in Nebraska.


When Moses stood on Mount Pisgah
and viewed the land promised as an in
heritance to the chosen people Of the
Lord, he beheld a country, we most sin
cerely believe, possessing no greater
advantages from a bountiful providence
than our own-Nebraska. 1t is seldom,
if ever, that any portion of the earth
brings forth crops in more prOfuse abun-
dance thar Nebraska has done this season.
All the staples of Agriculture peculiar to
this latitude, where they have had a
chance to grow, are most excellent.
Fall wheat, which many have feared
would not be a certain crop in this country,
has the past harvest yielded One-third
better than Spring wheat. In factit has
yielded better on the average, the past
five years than Spring. There were, it is
true some fields of both fall and spring
wheat that were scarcely worth cutting
on account of weeds. But this was in
most, perhaps, in every case, the fault Of
the farmer and not of the land or the
season. When we first began to cult
vale the virgin soil, too many of our
farmers forgot the old adage that 'one
years seeding makes nine years weed
ing" They found our prairie land free
from most Of the obnoxious weeds that
torment the a%griculturiss in the east, and
they aattered themselves it would always
remain so: that they could sow and reap,
without any labor of cultivation. They
are now suffering the consequence. Again
many fields were sown without blowing
plan that some years has seemed to
do we'll enough; but last spring the wet
weather caused the weeds 10 grow in late
sown fields faster than the wheat, until
the latter was almost smoihered. Most
of the wheat this season is of remarkable
good quality, and there Is a large surplus.
Corn now looks very fine, and is suf-
hciently advanced, so that no fears need
be entertained of its being injured by
early frosts.
There is a very large crop of potatoes
this season, Notwithstanding the small
amount of ground planted. They are
also of most excellent quality.
There is more than a sufficient amour,
of Sugar Cane to supply all demand for
molasses.
A number of farmers, this year, turned
their attention TO raising TObabbo. One
of Them informs US that he will realize
more mOneytfrOm n acre, at present prices.
than be could from a quarter section land
planted in corn. The yield of tobacco
this season has been remarkably good,
and prices very high.
Those who were sufficiently provident
to plant fruit trees and grapevines are
richly rewarded. Apple trees are gene
rally too small TO bear much yet; but
peaches this season are sufficiently plenty
in most parts of Nebraska to be within
the reach of ALL There are but compare

Johnson will certainly give a respectable

Mr.. Dawes on "Old Thad."

MIR. Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania
occupies the high and responsible position
of Chairman Of the committee of Ways and
Means in the national House of Represen-
tatives---a position which should constitute
its possessor guardian Of the public Treas.
ury. 1t appears that one Simon Stevens,
nephew of Thaddeus, hobtained very
large and very fat contract from General
Fremont for supplying the Government
with arms, whereby he expected to realize
the snug little sum of 800, 900. The Com
mittee on Contracts got wind of this trans.
action and exposed it. The uncle of
Simon who had before regarded the labors
of the Committee with Indifference, if not
with positive favor, changed his opinion as
soon as it struck so near him, and embra.
cling an occasion when the Commute were
absent from the House, donouced it as u
scandal-huuting and lying Committee
Mr.. Dawes replies to "Old Thad" in the
following words
'Now wish to call the attention of the

tered no such opposition from the gentleman
from Pennsylvania, the chairman of the
Committee Of Ways and Means, in the
early stages of thOir investigation. 1t was
only when the Committee in tie way of its
duty, came to throw itself between the
Treasury of the United States and pri.
vate speculation in which one Simon Ste.
vens was interested, and through which
500, 900 was to be taken out of the Treas.
ury of the United States, without a dollar
of consideration, in the simple sale and
repurehase of five thousand arms by the
United States, that the Committee encoun.
tered the opposition Of the chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means. 1t first
manifested itself in delaying the appropri.
alton to pay the expenses Of the Committee
and it then brought out a speech in the
House ridiculing the Committee and the
Committees efforts to rescue the Treasury
from the harpics that hung around and
hoyered over it. And last of all, eulmi.
mated in an attack last Monday on tAc
integrity and character of the Committee
and that, too, aftor the gentleman from
Pennsylvania had been duly notified that
every member of the Committee was absont
and could not reply. The amendment
offered by him to the second resolution
looks to the same end.'

The Fearful Indictment.

Mr.. Dawes, of Massachusetts, in his
speech in the House Of Representatives on
Friday last, in defence of the Committee
on Contracts against the imputation of tho
corruptionists uttered these words:
"The gentleman must remember that in
the first year of a Republican Administra.
ton, which came into power upon profess
ions of reform and retrenchment, there is
indubitable evidence abroad in the land
that somebody has plundered the pu bic
Treasury, well nigh in that single year as
much as the entire current yearly expenses
of the government during the Adminstra-
tion which the people hurled from power
because Of its corruption"
During the last year Of Mr.. Buchanan 8
Administration, which was denounced by
tho Republicans as unparalleled IN its
corruption, tho entire expenses of the Coy
ernment amoutod to The sum of 2G2, 900, 900;
and now Mr., Dawes, leading Republican
member Of Congress from Massachusetts,
tells us with shame and modification that
in the first year of Republican Admins
tration sOn'sbOdy has plunderod the public
Treasury Of sum sufficient to defray all
the expenses of Government for whole
year in time of peace. And this money,
be it remembered, was not abstracted from
an oyerhowing Treasury, but was borrowed
at high rate of interest for the pupose of
sustaining the Government against lis
armed enemies, and must eventually be
reimbursed by taxation upon the property
and industry of the country.
When the people realize how they have
been plundered and swindled by conspira-
tors in the garb of patriots, is there any
wonder that they give expression to their
honest indignation, and refuse to remain
silent at the bidding OF the emissa.ieS Of
these same plunderels
