Recruiting.

There is much talk now in this Terri
tory about recruiting. Ten Recruiting
Officers will be sent here from the Ne
braska First in a few days, for the pur-
pose of filing it up to the maximum num-
Der. Dispatches from Washington say
all the old Regiments must be filled up
if not by volunteering, by drafting. In
addition to these, probably twenty Of the
citizens of the Territory have made ap-
plication to the Governor for commits
sioz for recruiting, bat the Governor
has not seen proper to grant any until
the Nebraska First is filed up. Some
half dozen citizens from Missouri, Kan
sas and Iowa have also visited portions of
this Territory, recruiting for different
Regiments. On last Wednesday even
ing w. w. Updegraf passed through on
bis way to visit Gov. Saunders. He is
authorized by Gen. Lane to raise another
Regiment in Nebraska, for the defense Of
this Division. He appointed two re-
c%ruiting commissioners in Richardson
county, End three 10 this County. If
more recruits can be raised in this Ter
ritory than enough for the Nebraska
First, let it be for another Regiment, Civ
ing Nebraska the credit therefor. Ii
will be much more pleasant for all that
enlist to be consolidated in one Regiment.
They will then have the Company and
Regimental Officers from among their
own acquainlances and friends.
Lane has, we believe, authority from
Washington to raise as many vOlunt rrs
as are offered in this Department. con-
sisting of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado,
and DaeOlah, and we trust there win be
no difficulty between Gov. Saunders and
Gen. Lane.
Recruiting Officers viii have no trou-

20 serve their country in the capacity of
officers. Every able. bodied man 10 Ne
braska, and many that would be invaIids

from the Convention, but for another
reason. They had been instructed to be
governed by the following resolutions,
passed at a primary meeting in Washing

Resoioed, That in view Of the present
critical condition Of our country, we are
opposed to the reorganization of the
Democratic party in this Territory pre-.
paratory to the coming election for Del
egate to Congress, believing that such a
reorganization would be construed into an
opposition to the wal policy of the Pres

OsIer WnLuR COR q Hedge


Mr.. EDIToR: / have had several let
tiers making inquiry concerning the Osier
Willow for a hedge, or live fense-as to
its growth, adaptation to uplands, &c. l
will here state what / WHOM of it for the
benefit of all your subscribers:
Salix Purpurea, a species of the Osier
Willow, is one of the most upright of
the Basket Willow" and its toughness
and elasticity is we'll know. II it very
tenacious of life and a cutting, six to
eight inches long, stuck into almost any
soil, will grow readily. 1t will grow
equally as well on good uplands, as it
viii on the wettest bottoms. In fact, /
believe rich rolling upland is the best;
for, this morning I-have Just measured a
stalk that grew this season from the
stool, sci last season on the upland, and
it is eight feet ten inches highl Remem-
Der, also, this was on the 4.h day of Au-
gust, giving a long time 10 grow yet this
seasou One year ago last May, l set
the cuttings Of this. ard this past spring
cut last years growth down to two inches
of the ground, and this growth has been
all made this season. Ishall cut il again
this fall : and mex years growth shall
grow and be woven. AID the fence will
be complete. d. Z. Halsey, Of Victoria,
Cuyahoga County, New York, has taken
a premium at a New York Fair, for the
best 'live fence" and il is the Salix Pur-
purea. There are also some fine hedges
of i in Illinois, that give entire satisfac-
tion. It's cost is not a quarter compared
with other hedge plants. 1t requires but
lille care-nO more than corn for two
years; the third year weave, and it is
ready to turn out. / will hereafter give
concise directions for setting and C%ultiva-
ting.

LEAvENV ORTIZ, Kan, Aug A.
To the loyal men of Kansas, Nebraska
Colorado, and DecOtah:
The Government is engaged in rails
ing an army that will insure the suppress
sion of the rebellion, and the aid of every
loyal man is invoked for the accomplish
ment of this object.
Experience has shown that the lenient
policy pursued will not win the insurgents
back to their allegiance, nor dIsarm the
traitors. The Government is fully arous-
ed to this stern reality.
The conviction exists in the minds of
the people that nothing but war, real
earnest war, can be availing, and the
national authorities are responding to this
conviction of the people.
