the road to the city of Mexico. General
Comnsnnfort has been reinforced by three
brigades from the Capital. In a skirm-
ish on March 22d the French were COM
PEELED to retire. The Mexicans are still
in excellent spirits. Another stirring
Proclamation has been issued by Presi-
dent Juarez.
The Virginia Legislature has passed
a tax bill taxing everybody and every
thing more than double the rates of the
United States tax under the internal rev.
enue law.
The rebel Congress has passed a law
abolishing aogging in the army, and SUD-
shutting the death penalty for imprsson-
ment in the penitentiary.
The following dispatch was received
at headquarters this morning, 18th /:
"JEEFERsoN CRY. April 17.-To
Major Gen. Curtis: Col. King reports

'Sny,' killed six and routed the band,

ba, from Port Royal 18th, reports the

DESTINATION 81 Nebraska SECOND.

The Nebraska Second Regiment has
Been ordered to Sioux City, Iowa fronl
there it is supposed the intention is to
send them to Minnesota. This order
takes the soldiers by surprise. They
we're enlisted under a solemn pledge that
they would be retained in this Territory
for protection to the frontier. There
might be some excuse for it if they were
really needed in Minnesota, but such is
not the case. Many of the soldiers left
their families, thinking they would re-
main in this Territory, and would be able
to protect them more effectually than if
they were at home with them. We
doubt not the officers and men are anx-
ious to be sent where they can be of
most service to the country. But they
think hat would be either in Missouri or
on the frontier in Nebraska. There is
no danger here along the river from In
dams, but the travel over the Mountains
will need protection, and the Nebraska
Regiment by being stationed along the
line of travel, would dispense with the
necessity Of regular troops.

The news from New Orleans is of
much Importance. The Rebel army had
evacuated Cen%treville, but it is thought
they will yet be captured, as they are
surrounded. The Ram Queen of Tie
West had been retaken from The rebels.
The Captain and crew were prisoners.
Dispatches from Washington intimate

Judging from the contents of the first

advocate the interests of the anti-war
faction of the D Democracy. They start
out with a very eommendable resoIur

"In our County, as well as State
elections. We will be expected to sus-
tain the Democratic nominees, but in
doing so We shall avoid all personal
abuse of tie candidates of the oppose

At one oftho fashionable hotels in

and luxuriant dinner, the former in

deuunciations Of the war, and all who
fought on the loyal side in it. The
cripple turned and faced the coward,
demanding apology and retrsction.--
They were denied The man OF the
crutch and soul then asked the name OF
the copperhead traducer Of his country

a wrong one was given. Other wo IDS
followed; another insult was added BY
the copperhead; whereupon the hero OF
Charlottesville and Gettysburg Shout
