The style1of writing in which your cores
pondent INDUCES, sounds in the same strain
with much of the talk which greeted the man
ayers of the International, when, six years
ago they they endeavored to keep pace with
the growing interests of this city by nprovid-
ing more active capital. The community was
industriously labored with that it might fully
understand that the new bank could not pos
ssibly succeed But it has taken only six years
to demonstrate that the bank was needed by
the commerce Of the place. While the regu-
lar dividends during the whole period, and
the surplus to-day, as large as that enjoyed by
the, banks who have for thirty years been
slowly aceumulating their present surplus,

JUSTICE TO THE SOLDIERS.


Those who read the Municipal Court records,
of this city, must have noticed how frequently
it happens that soldiers are before that tribu-
mad, charged with drunkenness, disturbance,
insult to ladies, and various other wonderful
acts Doubtless most readers infer that these
soldiers are our sboys in blue" who have just
returned from the field, perhaps just been dis
charged from service.
4 Nothing is further from the truth. These
offenders are the regular soldiers from Fort
Preble. The Municipal Court had very little
to do with soldiers from Camp Berry; there,
soldiers were kept under better discipline than
is indicated by the frequent scrapes in which
the Fort soldiers figure in our streets.
l.s When Major Andrew was at Fort Preble
these annoyances seldom happened, and when
they did the offenders were punished, and not
allowed to come over to the city. tits hoped
the present Commander there win look into
this matter We are assured that he is gen
tle1nan as well as soldier, strict discipline
rian, and that the evils complained of must
have escaped his, attention. At any rate, it is
Z to be hoped be win take steps to keep the men
under his control from so frequently being
brought before the Municipal Covrt for dis
tilrbance on the Sabbath. y. agsa.

Obituary,
NEMAHA Cry. n. TIA
January. Is. 1865.


The citizens of Nemaha City and We
cinily met this evening at o'clock for
the purpose of commemoraling the death
of Christopher Shuck, son of John Shuck
who resides in Nemaha City Nebraska
Territory.
Christopher was a young man who
commanded the respect, love and esteem
of all who knew him. We knew him
well. When our Government was threat
ened by treason and rebellion, and the
glorious old flag, which our forefathers
SO MOLLY won for US, was about being
torn from that lofty hight, where it had so
long waved in peace and triumph, and
shamefplly trailed in the dust, be was
one among the first to leave home,
father, mother, brothers, sisters, and fly
to its protection. He was prompted by
no m olive but a conviction of duty. He
had nc heavy gallery to induce him to en-
list, no prospect of promotion. But his
country wa in peril, and be few to its
aid. On last Christmas day he fell in
battle.
6. ". Fairbrother acted as Chair
mar Of said meeting.
The exercises were opened with prayer
by Rev. Mr.. Spurlock after which an ap-
propriate hymn was sung ,by..Mr. and Mrs.
Workman, Mrs. Billings and F. B. Chap
lin.
We were her addressed by Rev. Mr..
Spurleck, Capt. Minnick, Mr.. Workman
and G. w. Fairbrether.
The relatives of the deceased were not
the only mourners present, we all wept,
for 1t was a solemn occasion. But our
tears were not of that kind, in which
there is no consolation.
We were not mourning at the loss Of
one who had ever failed TO perform his
duty as citizen at home with his friends,
or as a soldier in the field. But we
mourned for one whose character was as
pure as the pearls of the ocean. We
moutned for one who gave his life as a
sacrifice TO the shrine liberty.
The meeting was closed BY prayer,
after which, and before the audience dis
persed a gentleman from Brownville,
presented US with a paper which had been
gotten up IN Brownvllle, for the purpose
of raising means to remove the body Of
the deceased from its rude resting place,
and have it brought,hOme and inferred re-
specially in the grave yard of his friends.
The call for means, was responded to
promptly, and we will not forget to COM
pliment our friends in Brownville, by
we saw a goodly number of names
upon the paper who live there, although
the gentleman said it had not been thor
circulated. The sufficient means
will be forthcoming no doubt.

The Wilmington Carolinian of the
18th. says; Fort Fisher fell last night
after an obstinate resistenes. General
Whiting and staff. with about 5000
troops, are now in the bands of the en-.
eny. The conflict within the fort was a
very severe one, and lasted for Two hours
hand to hand, with the enemy.
We have no heart to enter into the de-
tails nor to comment on the disastrous
event. We may tell our readers, howev-
er, that the gallant Whiting did his duty
but had to auccumb to their superiority of
numbers, having been assaulted on his sea,
land and rear forces by the soldiers, sail
ors and marines Of the enemy.

A meeting of the citizens, of Nemaha
County, was held in Brownville, on the
26th day Of January 1865, to take &C
ton in relation to the Improvement of
the read west from Brownville. The
meeting was largely attended, and much
interest was manifested in the subject, by
all present.
The meeting was called to order by the
appointment of Jonas Hacker President,
Chas. G Dorsey. Sec.
DR.. John MCPHERSON addressed the
meeting, settin g forth the advantages to
the whole county, of having a good road
westward he said that our farmers had
not for several years. realized as much
for their grain as it would have brought
in any county north of US, and that this
was owing solely to the fact that no
freighting had been or could be done from
here directly westward, until we could
make a good road. We had even lost
the trade of the western part Of our W
county for that reason. We had now a
good bridge across the little Nemaha in
this county, and only lacked a bridge
across the great Nemaha, at Tscumseh,
in johnson County and some improvement
on Main street in BrownVille, TO make
this as good an Quitting point for the
gold regions, if not the best Of any in the
Territory. He urged the improvement
of Main street to the western limits of
the city, and thought that all our citizens
and particularly our business men would
lend their aid to the work. He thought
hat some plan could be devised for this
county to aid in the erection ola bridge
ever the Nemaha at Tecumseh in John
son county and hoped it might be done.
Messrs. T. w. Bedford, Luther Hoad.
ly, Theo. Hill and others then addressed
the meeting in favOr Of the proposed i'm
provsments, after which the following
resolutisns were introduced and unani.
