THE INDIAN SCARF AT OMAHA
w. A. Pollock.

Is thus summed up in the Republics n
of the 9th. We do not pretend to an
unusual amount of "equinimity," but
we're not in the least disturbed by the
startling news from Omaha about ten
days since, To be cautious is very good ;
but "too much of a good thing" often be.
comes a downright evil; in this case we
have no doubt that that portion of the
Territory has suffered much from this
scare.
Ii was reported On Monday night last
that a band Of hostile Indians had driven
off a quantity of stock from Junction Is.

city; and in the immediate vicinity of
Forest City, Sarpy county; and our au-

On Wednesday evening a force of
about so mounted men, well armed. and
under the command of Capt. John Tafe

A correspondent writing of the meet
ing of peace miscreants at Syracuse,
says it was a noticeable fact that the
two national flags Of stars and stripes,
which had been brought for decency's
sake, and placed on the stand. were
taken down by the committee during the
reading of the resolutions, and thrown
behind the platform! There was a rare
prcpriely in this, which must have been
signiican, to every loyal eye.

NEws.TRoM MARTISsBURa-REPOR DEATH
OF Col. MUIIleAN.-Gsn. Kelley telegraph
ed Governor Boreman last evening, from
Cumberland, that General Crook had had
a desperate fight, (no date mentioned,)
with General Early's rebel force, near Win
chester; was badly defeated and was re-
treating upon Hsrper's Ferry.
Persons who arrived last evening from
Cumberland, bring q report that fight
took place at Bunker Hill, near Win
chester, between our forces and the rebel
invaders on Sunday, during which Col.
Mulligan, of the Irish Brigade, was NOR
tally wounded, and died the same day
His brother-in.law, Lieutenant Nugent,
was also reported killed, and it was be-
lieved that the rebels occupied Martins
burg. This rumOr is strengthened by the
fact that there is no telegraph communica-
ton with that place.
The greatest excitement existed in the
city last evening, in consequence of these
rumors, and further news was anxiously
looked for.

HBFRuIT FoR THR ARMY.-We are
aware of the fact that our fruit crop is not
very abundant, yet limited as it may be, in
some sections a portion of it will be lost,
which might otherwise be saved for the
use of the army. The great benefit of this
kind of food for the soldier can only be
known to those who have spenta sufficient
time in camp to ascertain the craving of
the appetite for something beyond the al
lowsnce of the army ration. Fruits of all
kinds, and vegetables of every description
are most acceptable. They are more than
necessary for hospital use, and all who are
at all able to prepare such for shipment to
the army should not neglect to do SO. A
soldier will look more exultiugly on a can
of preserved fruit than over his months
pay: Rememberth soldier while the fruit
season shall last.

Our losses in the recent battles will foot

subject of a draft for 500. 900 men is be-
coming matter of great Importance
Those who have nothing particular to do,
amuse themselves by taking such data as
they can command and figuring up the
quotas of the sub districts in which they
reside and calculating their chances OF
drawing prize. Several persons living
in certain sub district, were told by the
figures that the draft would take one out
of every thirteen, and they then engaged
for several hours in making little draft
at this rate, to try their luck. Singular as
it may seem the same person was drafted
three times in succession. The lucky man
is now in favor of offering large bounty,
and he will doubtless be heard from at the
meeting this evening.

Last Nights Report.
From Gen. Sherman.


WASHINGTON, July 25-The Republican
extra says:
Dispatches to the government represent
that a great battle was fought in Atlanta,
on Friday, resulting in q terrible slaughter
and complete repulse of the enemy at every
point. The rebels holding the largest part
of the city, assaulted our works on that
day with great fury, evidently expecting to
drive our forces out of the city.
The 18th corps, commanded by General
Blair, seemed to be the special object of
rebel wrath, as they massed against it in
overwhelming force. The 18th received
the shock gallantly and held its own until
Gen. Dodge, with the 18th corps, came up,
when the rebels were repulsed with great
slaughter.
Gen. Logan at the head of the corps
went into battle with the rallying cry of
Remember MCPHERSON" This corps as
we'll as Blair's, both constituting the army
under Maj. Gen. Mcpherson fought des-
perately. The news of the detsh of their
brave commander having been communi-
Gated to them, just before going into bat
tie. Our troops buried 1000 rebels left on
the field within our lines, besides which
the rebels buried many of their own dead,
near their works. 1t is estimated that the
rebel killed and wounded on Friday will
exceed 5000. Our loss will reach $500,
in killed and wounded. The 18th corps
suffered severely, while the work of bury
ing the dead and removing mounded was
going on.
On Saturday Sherman's heavy artillery
was playing upon the city, at the same
time large fires were observed in different
parts Of Atlanta, supposed to be caused by
the destruction of supply depots and other
rebel property which the enemy could not
carry of, and did not wish to fall into our
hands. This is considered evidence of
their intention TO evscuste the place.
Several rebel generals are reported killed
but their names are not yet given.

~THR RAIN.-We were visited yes
terday with one of the most seasOnable and
ssrvfeeabls rains that ever descended up
on a parched and sweltering community.
The rain commenced about four O'Clock
yesterday and continued necessarily the
whole day. The potatoes, both Irish and
Sweet, have been languishing for moisture,
and the oats and corn stood badly in need
of rain. 1t will be worth millions of
money to the growing crops.
