FRIEND FIsHER:-I herewith transmit
a copy of muster roll of Company &C."
2nd Nebraska Cavalry, recruited by
Lieut.. II. NJ. Atkinson. We bave been
very busy since our arrival here, or /
would have complied with my promise to
send you a copy of our muster roll at an
earlier period, but it will perhaps be ac-
ceplaOle even at The eleventh hour.
Our company lett Brownvllle, as you
are aware. on Monday afternoon the 9Th
of October, arriving at Peru we camped
for the night, and partook of a soldiers
supper. Left Peru on Tuesday morning
at six o'clock, and marched to a point dis
tant north from Nebraska City some
eighteen miles where we again camped
for the night. We had travelled all day
without eating since breakfast, and you
imagine we we're a hungry set of soldiers
as we did not get our suPpers until nine
O'Clock, having travelled after dark. Tbs
was what l call a forced march.
On the following day wednesday,
we arrived at the Platte Valley ferry a,
about ten O'CLOCK, where we were delain-
ed crossing an unreasonable length of
time. Al four o'clock our forces had all
crossed, and were on the march, as we
desired to get as near Omaha as possible
that night. We travelled that evening
until nine o'clock, and camped near our
Place of destination. On Thursday morn
ing we marched into Omaha. and, pass
ing through town, halted on Capitol Hill,
where we we're arranged in plasoOns of
sixteen abreast and mustered into the
service of the United States, by Lieut..
Mckay, for nine months, as company
&C" in the regiment. Our company 5
now quartered at Florence, in a large
store-house, and the boys seem to be very
well satisfied with heir situation although
they are much in need of comfortable
clothiugs However, their wants viii soon
be supplied, as Gov. Saunders has gone
east TO make arrangements to have the
governmer furnish clothing and blan-
kety, Some Of the boys have been sup
piled with shirts, socks, by our gentleS

Inconsistent.

A few months ago, Democratic jour
nails, almost universally, were heaping
-unmeasured censure upon the various
Republican Legislatures for Deglecing
TO extend the right of suffrage 10 the vol
un.eers in the army. They argued that
q large majority of the soldiers. were
democrats, and that. the privilege Of vot-
ing was withheld from them On that ac-
count. But since the election, when it
il ascertained that nine-tenths Of the sol
Giers that are allowed 10. vote by the
laws Of the States from which they vol
un,eered, have voted the Republican
t;cket.. they suddenly discover. that 1t is
very improper FOR volunteers TO vote !
that, when they leave their professions,
their workshops and their farms, to fight
their country's battles, they nc longer
have any right to say who shall represent
them in COngress.i They Immediately
become too ignorant TO understand the
iissues." 1t depends very much whose OK
is gOred.

Nhere win che NegrOes go?

The elections over, we may possibly
gain the attention of thousands WHO were
frightened by the clamor Of 'nigger in-
v~aslon,'' while we state a few facts SO
PLAIN hat the wayfariug man though a
fool need not err therein.
What do the negroes of The South run
away from? Slavery.
What do they hope to gain by coming
into Illinois? Freedom.
If then you give freedom to the negro
where be is, and convince him that, he
viii not again be reduced TO slavsFyshe
will have nothing 10 gain by coming 70
Illinois, will he? No.
What climate does the negro prefer ?
What parts of the worlds surface does
he naturally seek TO ind the conditions
best adapted to bis physical organization!
he tropics.
What productions are the negroes on
AtliS continent most skilled 10 cult, atlng ?
Cotton, rice, sugar aud tobacco.
In what States are these staples prin.
cipally raised? The seeding States of
the South.
If, then, slavery were abolished all
over the Union. and the negroes allowed
to choose the places where they would
1--we, where would they be likely to fix
their homes? Ia the Gulf States.
Is II for the interest of the whole
country that the production of cotton.
rice, sugar and tobacco should be conti-
nued Ia the United States? tits.
Are there white laborers enough in
the country to produce the requisite
crops of cotton, rice, sugar and tobacco,
beside carrying on the agricultural and
manufacturing pursuits of the North g
No.
Could the white laborers of the North
be induced to abandon their homes and
their remuneratlve employment here to
try the experiment Certainly not.
Could they, Ia any event, produce
those necessary staples as cheaply as the
negroes, who are accustomed to the
work! No.
Must the negroes live somewhere q
Yes.
Will not the negroes continue TO run
away from the South, and "Invade The
N.rth," SO long as slavery continues q
Yes.
Here is an argument which ninety
nine Northern men in every hundred
will pronounce unanswerabIe IN favor Of
emanclpating the slaves and employing
them where they are. in cnltivatng the
cotton, rice, rice, sugar and tobacco of
the South. How else can you stop the
'nigger invasion? z" So long as slavery
continues, so long will they brave hun.
ger, thirst, whips, bloodhounds and fugi-
i've lave laws to secure freedom. When
you bring freedom to their doors, they
will not seek ii elsewhere Chicago

Silas A. Strickland, formerly of Belle
view, in this Territory, has recently been
appointed Colonel, by Gov. Todd. of the
5Olh Ohio Regiment. We copy The fol-
lowing from the Cincinnati Times:
"Gov. Todd has promptly rewarded
the bravery Of Col. Strickland. He
yesterday received his-commissieha as
Colonel, the document dating from the
10Th inst. the day on which Col. Tay-
Tor was permitted to retire from the
service. The eagles, in this instance.
have been fairly won in three hardly
contested fields. The announcements
of the promotion was followed by a
general jubilee throughout the regi-
ment. Such promptncss on the part
of the Governor is an incentive to
courage. When towards are cashiered
and brave men promoted in a day, we
will experience little difficulty in the
future in keeping up a well organized
army. Col. Strickland takes command
of the 34th brigade this morning, in
obedience to a general order. He is
the junior Col, but is placed over his
competitors under the law empowering
commanders to promote men in the
same rank according to merit, and not
seniority"

CAMP NEAR PATTERSON, Mo-, Z

CAMP NEAR PATTERSON, Mo-,
November 9Th, 1862,
Ma, Enron: The present indications
are that the First Nebraska will DWELL in
the wilderness in tents during the COM
INF. winter, as we are among the noun
tains of "Hepsidam" even now, where
the wind waiIeth. and the cold is chilling
On the 26th of October we broke up
camp neal Sulphur Springs, and escorted
the LIST Division supply train, and the
trains of lIth Wisconsin and 33d Illinois
Regiments byIland via. Potosi and Gale
donia to Ironton, about so miles. AL
the other Regiments composing the Di-
vision came by rail to Pilot Knob, and
the duty of escorting the trains and
marching was'assigned TO our snail, but
wiry and dauntless regiment. We re-
manned in camp near Ironton until after
muster day, which was the 3lSt, when
we pulled up stakes again and marched
to this point. where we will stay, we
know not how long.
We have heard that General Thayer
has been ordered to report TO General
Grant, TO take command of a Brigade
under General Lew. Wallace, and if SO,
we may possibly be ordered back to Ten
nessee, as Generals Wallace aud Thayer
want US in their commands. Generals
Steel and Curtis, however, may not letus
60. for they seem to place a great deal
of confidence in the Regiment, notwItE-
standing its smallness. Gen. Steele says
it is small but good, and Curtis has the
same opinion, it seems, for he will not
allow US to be stationary long at a place.
The Regiment grows weaker by degrees
and beautifully less, and doubtless will
be kept in active service until its num-
Der becomes so small that consolida-
tion with some other Regiment will ulti-
mately follow. We have lost all hope
of getting recruits from the Territory,
and if consolidation should take place,
we should lose the name of Nebraska,
and thetlaurels the Regiment has gained
for the Territory whOMd be placed to the
name'Of the State whose name we shall
take.
1 learn that already the Battalion of
cavalry which the Territory furnished for
thrne years, has lost all its former iden-
tity, and donned the name OF the OH
Iowa cavalry, and not many months may
elapse until the famous Nebraska First
may be known only as the Twenty
someIhisg-Miss0uri, Iowa, or what not.
Perhaps the nine months Cavalry Regi-
meDt nDw raising or already raised, may
win as much fame for Nebraska as ours

CARDs.-Five or six years ago-when
times were fush-poker playing existed
to an alarming extent, here in Brown
vile, as well as at other towns on the
river, but as money became more and
more scarce, this immoral practice wa.
less INDUCED in, and was finally almost
entirely discontinued. Within the last
few days, however, handling and shut.
fling cards has been resumed TO an ex-
tent never before known. All classes of
citizens participate in it; even ministers
Of the gospel, and devodt christians, are
not ashamed 10 carry them in their pock-
cts. So great is the demand hat Messrs.

We extract the following items with
regard to Nebraska towns, from a leader
in the Denver Republican
ct seems to us hat the towns and
cities on the banks of the Missouri
River are not sufficiently alive to their
own interests. or they would, exert
themselves to bring about mOr favor
able results, in a business point of
view. After the extensive emigration
and building up of those towns du-
ring the years 1851, and their
gradual decadence during the year
SO and SO, nothing has arisen either
in the political or commercial world to
save them from the inevitable fate
which usually falls to towns without a
permanent source of commercial rev.
enue, except the sudden %springing up
OF the Colorado trade in the fall of
SO and its constant steady increase of
the present. What would be the fate
of the river towns if they we're shorn
of u trade, is a question which the
merest tyro in political economy could
