QUrBHLINo.-Tbe Plattsmouih Senti-
na a last Publishes Mr.. Wheeler's ac-
ceptaDce Of It's challenge. Il replies
with a couple of columns Of caviliug and
qnibbling. 1t accuses Mr.. Wheeler Of
corardice, and an attempt to evade the
challenge. The reply Of Wheeler is
brief and to the point. He says plainly
II accept the Challenge you have made,
and am notc ready to lead both Of you to
the Nebraska First, to enter that Regi-
menl as p~rivates."
But, says the Seminal, the editors Of
this paper did not both write the Chal-
lenge; Ergo, Wheeler SIS a cowardly
abolition liar ri"
The challenge reads: 1--WE are credi-
bly, informed that Mr.. Wheeler has re-
peatedly branded the Sentinel as a Sc
cession sheet, and Its editors as traitors
We hurl the inputation back, SC. sc.
We challenge him, &c. This certainly
duplicates both. Both were branded as
traitors. = Both were implicated in the
challenge, and both are bound according
10 their " proposition to enter the Ne
braska First.
They have now a frstrate opportunity
10 enlist under Sergeant Wells.

On the 22d Blunt crossed the Arkan-
sas at Fort Gibson, on the trRilpgf Steel,
Cooper, and their combined army. He
offered them battle repeatedly. which
they declined, and lhenshe started for
them, but they commenced a full retreat
He followed them with the cavalry part
of his foreeIn Perryvillee, making his.
last days march Of fifty miles between.
sunrise and shutdown.
At this place their real guard, with
two light pieces of artillery, were en-
cOUntered. but quickly fed, and that too
rapidly for our exhausted men and hor-
ses. A vast amount Of commissary stores
we're left by the enemy in their retreat,
they not having had time even to destroy
them. Flour, bacon, hams, salt and corn
were found in great abundance. They
were, of course, destroyed, and then
further pursuit being useless, as well as
impossible, the rebels on a road without
a resting place till they reach Red River,
and totally defeated and demoralized as
we'll as half starved, we took the back
track, and are now on the road to Fort
Smith.
This is evidently the final abandon
ment by the rebels Of this country. They
have moved off their families, and driven
their stock and niggers all to Texas
The country is fully restored 10 the pos
session and occupancy Of the Federal
Government, and it has been done by
General Blunt's dauntless courage and
zeal that was nnwearied IN spite of dig
couragement, dangers and delays in
spite of the refusal to him of adequate
reinforcemenls, of orders to fall back,
and innumerable "fires in the rear
There never was an army marched as
his gallant army marched. twenty-five,
lhirty-fve and fifty miles a day, search
ing an enemy to fight, through dust, over
hills, under a burning sun and on short
r%ations, shows that the veterans of Cane
Hill and Prairie Grove have lost none of
their powers Of endurance, even if here
shown only by fatiguing tramps instead
of bloody and determined battle.
"A dispatch to Fort Blunt this morning
orders a supply train to Fort Smith,
which will be permanently occupied as a
post by the Army of the Frontier. We
shall be there the Both. CHEROKEE.

Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson declines to
be a candidate for reelection othe office
of Attorney General of New York,
on account Of domestic considerations
In his letter making the announcement
he submits the following striking obser-
valions:
THE rebellion has received It's DEATH
blow. 1t has now little power for mis-
clrife, save in its ienoble existence. 1t
may, by galVanie applications from It's
friends in the loyal States, once or twice
rise to its feet and stragger on a little
farther, but this will rather hasten than
postpone the hour of Its fnal dissolution.
As it passes away, and the law is pre-
pairing It's halters and dungeons and ban
ishment for conspiring leaders, let Us.
pray for the forgiveness Of the deluded
masters who have been cheated or.
driven into this wholesale murder to min
lister to the unholy ambition Of some of
the most fiendish monsters who have
ever desecrated earth. Asfor the mole
eyed politicians among US, whose poverty
of intellect has not enabled them to COM
prehend the magnitude Of the crisis,
when they shall cease to encourage the
murderers Of our sonssand brothers. let
US endure their exhibitions of depravity.
and the ebullitIons of their spite without
a murmur, and in sheer pity measure
out to them, as an anlldote to their inef-
ectual virus, that scorn which is made
most emphatic by expressive silence"

you, then, exclusively to save the Union.
l issued the proclamation on purpose to
aid you in saving the Union. Whenever
you shall have conquered all resistance
10 the Union, if / shall urge you to con-
tinue fighting, it will be an apt time,
then, for you to declare you wlll not fight
to free negroes.
I thought that in your struggle for the
Union, 10 whatever extent the negroes
should cease helping the enemy, 10 that
extent il weakened the enemy in his re-
sistanee TO you. Do you think different
HT l thought that whatever negroes can
be got to do as soldiers, leaFesSjust so
much less for white soldiers to do, In
saving the Union. Does it appear 9TH
eTwise to you?
But negroes, like other people, act
upon motives. Why should they do any
thing for as if we will do nothing for
them? If they stake their lives for US
they must be prompted by the strongest
motive-even the promise of freedom
And the promise being made must be
kept. -
The signs look better. The Father of
Waters again goes unvexed to the sea !;
thanks to The great Northwest for it nor
yet wholly to them. Three hundred
miles up they met New England, the
Empire, the keystone, and New Jersey,
hewing their way right and left. The
sunny South, too, in more eolors than
one, also lent a hand, on the spot their
part of the history was jotted down in
black and white. The job was a great
national one /; and let none be banned
who bore an honorable part IN It, while
those who have cleared the great river
may well be proud. vnlt
Even that is not all. It is hard to say
that anything has been more bravely
and better done than at An;ietam, Muir
freesboro, ; Gettysburg, and on many
fields of no. less note. Nor must Uncle
SANS web-feet be forgotten. AT all
the waters margins they have been
present, not only on the deep sea, the
broad bay, and the rapid river, but also
up the narrow, muddy bayou, and wher-
ever the ground was a little damp they
have been. and made their tracks
Thanks 10 all! For the Great Republic
the principle by which 1t lives and
keeps alive-for mans vast future /;
thanks to all
Peace does not appear so distant as it
did. / hope it will come soon, and come
10 stay, and so come as to be worth the
keeping IN all future time. 1t will then
have been proved that among freemen
there can be no successful appeal from
the ballot to the bullet, and that they
who take such appeal are sure to loose
their case and pay the cost and then
theEe will be some black. men who can
remember that, with silent tongue and
clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well
poised bayonet, they have helped man
kind on to this great consummation, while
l fear that there will be some white men
unable to forget that, with malignant
heart and deceitful speech, they have
striven to hinder it, Still, let'us not be
-over-sanguine of a speedy final triumph.
Let us be quite sober. Let us diligently
apply the means, never doubling that a
Just God, in his own good time, will give
US the rightful result.
Yours, very truly,

Horse THrEF.-AbOut two weeks ago
a scoundrel Of the name of Davis, who
had been authorized by a Government
agent 10 buy horses IN the vicinity Of
Hannibal, while his employer was sick
concluded to change bis base. He took
fifteen horses out of the pasture, and
travelled. Somewhere between Hanni-
bal and St, joe, he sold them for Sl7O0.
He came on to ST. joe, and then on to
Oregon, where he bought a span Of mules,
harness and wagon of Mr.. HObltzell,
assuming the name of Howard. He then
came on to Rockport, bought another
span of mules of Mr.. Snyder, the stage
agent, giving his name as "Smith, agent
for Davis" and paying S240. He then
crossed the river at this place, on Thurs
day or Friday of last week, put bis mules
in the livery stable, deposited $500 in
gold at Mr.. CarsOn's bank, and started
back 10 st. Joe. to get his wife.
He was followed from Hannibal to St.
Joe. From the latter point, Mr.. ]. E.
Hall, of the Government Secret Police,
started on his track. He suspected the
chap was aiming to cross the plains, and
ae fortunately took the right road in fol-
lowing him. He heard of him at Ore
gon, ROckport, and other places; found
thai he had crossed the river here, and
followed him over. MI. HALL got here
on Sunday. He Immediately took pos
session of The mules. wagon, money, &c.
aRd autographed to St. Joe. that the "nice
young man" had returned to that City.
In a fe " hours word was sent back hat
ne had been caught and put in prison.
The mules, harness and wagon are
well worlh,the money he paid for them,
some think enc or two hundred dollars
more. Mr.. HALL has recovered in
money and property about $1,000. This
thief Ic not display very much sagAeity
in his attempt to escape.
Mr.. HALL is the right man TO send
after such scamps, and they will have
to display more sagacity than Davis, if
they escape him.
Mr.. HALL, as Provost Marshal and
Government Policeman, in Kansas and
Missouri, has had a good deal Of exper-
fence in detecting. and arresting horse
thieves, during the past nine months
He says there is a vsst amount Of steal
ing done along the Missouri River. They

Says the New Orleans correspondent
of the New York Tribune:
l have noticed something not unworthy
of mention-among them the fact that
General Butler is popular in this city
among the middle and poorer classes.
and to a degree also among the former
nabobs of the place. The redemption of
the place from the odious terrorism
which ruled it prior to his advent here
his fine executive and administrative ca
pacity, his prompt and decided measures
for the punishment of aggressive, agitat-
ing treason, and many incidets-in bis. ca
reeer that have been much commented
on throughout the country, are here spok-
en- of in such terms as to satisfy me that
no General in the United States service
could have accomplished more with this
people. THIS is surprising when we re-
member that it is a subject of wonder
ment in many minbs that General Butler
escaped assassination during his stay
here,
