NEIL S. Brown. ON THE SITUATION.
This distinguished Tennesseean, at
the meeting held in Nashville on the
23d ult., was called upon. for aspeech.
The Nashville Gazette gives the fol-
lowing. report:
Neil S. Brown having been called
for, he took the stand, and said that
he felt some delicacy in taking pro
mincnt part in the proceedings of the
meeting. The resolutions met las
hearty concurrence, and he Intended
to give President johnson his hearty
support. Let the past pass away; to
history it belonged, and to history he
commended it. If. he could show
that the South was right and the
North wrong, or oice 0erSa, what
effect would it have? It would not
bring to life the thousands Of brave
men who had died in maintaining
their opinions, norsoothe the sorrows
eof the widows and orphans Our
duty now is to set to work and repaiy,
as far as possible, the damage sus-
tanned, and to kindle in the minds of
the people patriotic feeling. Many
had lost wealth, but what Of that?
The conflict, over which all mourn,
is ended, and he has yet to see the
man engaged in the rebellion wing is
not heartily in favor of harmony and
goodwill. There may be, anddoubt-
less are, dissatisfied persons, but
their occupations is gone The Gov
ernment of the United States must
be sustained, ardently and honestly,
and he reloiced that President John
son promises to pursue policy SO
Wise, broad and patriotic. Let us not
despair We may meet hard cases,
but let the machine run on. We
already begin to see the light, of day
breaking around us, and all will soon
be at peace. The President has
issued his amnesty proclamation, and
is granting pardons to those accepted.
Let each of us pass an act of amnesty
and forgive all who have injured us.
Every man who has a soul big enough
to be saved should forgive and he for
given.

In 1888, South Carolina, through con-
J vcntion Of her people, became one OF the
United States. She remained member Of
the Union until December, 1860, when,
through another convention OF her people,
she repealed the Ordinance OF 1888, seced-
ed from the United States, and with GER
tain other sister States entered into another
! government known as the Confederate
Government. We believed that we had the
right to seccdc and that our security re-
quired its exercise in cooperation with our
SoutheIn sisters. South Carolina, in 1852,
proclaimed by solemn ordinance the right
Of secession. It had long been the settled
opinion Of the State that she was sovereign
and entitled to all the rights OF sovereignty.

One thousand Sioux, Cheyennes, Ar
rapahoes, BlaclSfcet and q few Canaan
chcs attacked Plptt Bridge Station on
the telegraph rosd, day before yestor-
day. Less than go soldiers were there.
The fight lasted two days, resulting in n
heavy loss to the Indians-~number
not known, and on our side of Lieuten-
ant Collins and one enlisted iran of tin
18th Ohio cavalry and twenty-five men
of the 18th Kansas, and nine wounded.
The Indians retreated west, tearing
down the telegraph poles and destroying
the wire. y note was picked up ON the
battlefield written by white prisoner
recently captured on the South Plat,
saying that the Indians did not want
peace, but were for fighting all the time !;
that we had killed one of their Chiefs
in the fight, and that they were going
to destroy the telegraph line, and that
they expected achievements, Lieu
tenant Collins was horribly mutilated
his hands and feet cut off, throat cut,
heart taken out, scalped, and one humid
red arrows in him. Our men fought
against overwhelming numbers, and
with determined bravery.
There is not the slightest disposition
manifested on the part of these Indians
for peace. On the contrary, peace will
only be obtained by severely Furnishing
them.
One of the Powder River columns is
now en- route to join our force at Platt
Bridge, which is moving OH the rear of
the Indians, and holding them in cheek
until reinforcements arrive, when an
other fight will take place, beyond doubt.
All the troops intended for the Indian
expedition would have been in the field
long ago, had it not been for the ras-
cality of contractors, falling to deliver
supplies according to the terms of their
contract.

Population OF Black Hawk County.

Below we give the white population
of BLACK. Hawk County, as returned by
the Township Assessors, for the year
1865. The population of the county,
two years ago, was 1906. This includ-
ed both colors. The white population,
now, is II $40. If the blacks were in
Guided, the figures would be about
12,000. Two years ago, those absent
from the County in the military service
were enumerated. This year they were
not included. Those enumerated two
years ago, who have entered the service
and are not includedin the enumeration
this year, cannot fall below 500. Hence
the actual increase is about $500 in the
two years, and fully two-thirds of this
increase has been received within the
past year. This exhibits a healthy
growth of our county. Weare indebted
