The following was handed to us a few
weeks ago but was crowded out until this
week
Nebraska is . great Territory it has
not only a large, growing and mixed pop
u%lation, every variety of climate and
soil, game and stock, but its very oxen
have become denominatiOnal, if not sec.
tartan, in name, character and spirit. In
proof, read the following incident:
A minister, travelling along the road,
met a stranger'driving a wagon, pulled
by four oxen. AS the minister approach
ed, be heard the driver say, "gee up,
Presbyterian :" "gee, CampBeuite %
"haw Baptist % "what are you doing.
Mthodist! 20 The minister, struck with
The singularity Of such names being CIV
en- to oxen, remarked:
Stranger, you have strange names
for your oxen, and / wish to know why
they had such names given them 2"
The driver replied Il call the leader
in front Presbyterian, because he is true
blue, and never fails; he believes in
pulling through every difficult place,
persevering TO the end, and then he
knows more than all the rest. The one
by his side l call C~ampbellite he does
very we'll when you let him go his own
way, until he sees water, and then all
the world could not keep him out of it,
and there he stands as it bis journey
was ended. This OF OK. behind, is a
real Baptist, for be Is all the time after
water, and will not eat with the other
oxen, bul is constantly leaning off on one
side or the other, and horns everything
that comes near him. The other, which
l call Methodist, makes a greater noise
and a greater to do, and you would think
was pulling all creation, but he dos'ent
pull a pound"
The minister having his curiosity graf
fled with the explanation given, rode on
wandering what he should next hear and
see in Nebraska.
This is no dream, but a fact, as I have
heard il, nor am | Influenced by dyspep-
TIC feelings in telling the Ecclesiasticle
relation Of Nebraska Oxen.

The following General Order, No. II
for reducing the expenses of military es.
adjustments, was issued by the War
Department, Washington, April 2Sth:
lst. That the chiefs of the respective
bureaus of their departments proceed
Immediately to reduce the expenses OF
their respective departments to what is
absolutely necessary in view of the i'm.
mediate reduction of the forces in the

diplomats. Good will surely result from
this if it prevents the American people
from hereafter deifying military heroes
and placing them high positions ere they
exhibit some marked evidence Of states
manship. As il stands it should not
injure Sherman's reputation a. a soldier,
but should make the people more care
full in elevating milit:ry heroes TO civil
positions.

Booth, The assassin of President Lin
coin, was captured in a barn about three
miles from Port Royal, on the 26th ult.
with an accomplice named Harold. He
refused to surrender, after Harold had
surrendered, and was shot in the head,
and died in about three hours. This is
greatly regretted, as the gallOws is thus
cheated, and justice, although it reached
him suddenly, seems but half done.

The most fearful steamboat disaster
that has ever occurred in the history Of
steamboating, took place on the morning
of the 9th ult., about seven niles above
Memphis in the blowing up and destruc.
lion of the steamer Sullana and loss oil
from 1900 to 1900 passengers.
The facts as near as they can be ascer-
tanned are about as follows:
The steamer Sultapa left New Orlean:
on Friday evening, the 2lst. with about
20 cabin passengers and about IS EN-,
ployees on the boat. At Vicksburg she
remained 80 hours repairing her boiler.
which were leaking badly before there.
She took on board at Vicksburg 1866
Federal soldiers and 80 officers, lately
released from prison at Cahawba, Ala
bama, and Andersonville, Ga, who were
on their way home, or to join their re.
spective commands. The boat arrived al
Memphis last evening and after coaling
proceeded on her way at about 2 O'Clock.
At about 3 o'clock a.. m. she blew ur
with a tremendous explosion, and imme-
diately thereafter caught fire and burned
to the water edge. OF 2l56 souls on
board it is not supposed more than zoo
have been rescued. The scene at Mem.
phis this morning beggars description
At about d o'clock the river was covered
with u poor men struggling for life and
rending the heavens with their shrieks
for help. A large number of boats went
to their relief and have been constantly
engaged until this morning in rescuing
the sufferers. Many have been badly
scslded and burned, and some have died
since they were rescued. One of the
pilots and the mate of the boat were
rescued, bat the Captain has not been
heard Of and is supposed to be lost.
The names of the persons lost or saved
are at present unknown. Major Gener-
al Washburne Immediately organized a
board of officers to take testimony IN re-
gard to the affair, who are now briskly
engaged with their investigation.
Up to 2 o'clock a. m. there had been
received into the hospital $40 persons
who were rescued. OF those who re.
ceived no injury and are at the Soldiers
Home, there are from 200 to 800.
1t is now believed that the number los
will exceed 1400.

Gen. Sherman accepted, of Gen. John.
ston, on che 18th, terms for the surren-
der of JOhnstOn's rebel army. These
terms were made conditional with their
acceptance by our Government. On the
Odd they were made the subject of a
Cabinet meeting whereaSG General Grant
participated, when they were d~isapproved
of by the President, Gen. Grant and the
entire cabinet.
Much has been said against Sherman
on account Of this unfortunate step, in
making too liberal terms for the rebels.
We can bul wander al his being SO COM
pletely taken in by there0els, and regret
It as it detracts from our beau ideal of a
soldier and general. Improves one point
eonclusively, that the best military lead
era are not the best civil leaders. 1t will
doubtless be, after peace is declared, as
il was after the wal with Mexico, that
parties will take up some military heroes
for the Presidency for the sake of pOpu-
larity. This spirit was also shown in
the late canvass for President by The
Democratic party running Mcclellan
We deem sherman as much superior to
Mcclellan as The light of the sun is 10
