A FREE FlGHT.--Au alteration took
place on the bridge crossing East Greek
in this village on Sunday last, among
several Emeralders, representing the diff
ferent factions of West Rutland and
Sutherland Falls. 1t appears they Wis
tied this place and succeeded in procur-
ing little more of the ardent than they
could comfortably carry, yet notwith-
standing the weight of their load, started
for home. On arriving at East Creek
bridge, however they being somewhat
fatigued, concluded to rest for a while.
Here they entered into conversation, and
some of them concluding they were "bet-
ter men" than the rest, "pitcAed in" to
them to illustrate the philosophy Of their
doctrine. Clubs and stones were freely
used, handfuls Of hair pulled out, noses
bit, eyes BACKED and other fo,ei5Ie argu-
ments brought to BEAR and after fight
ing till they were tired of the sport,
they stopped, Whether West Rutland
or Sutherland Falls came out ahead we
did not learn. No arrests were made.

Solid and Fluid Extracts embody the full
strength of the ingredients of which they are
named. They are left to the inspection of all.
A ready and conclusive test of their properties
will be a comparison with those set forth in the
United States Dispensatory. These remedies
are prepared by II. t. Helmbold, Druggist of
sixteen years experience, and we believe them
to be reliable in fact we have never known an
article lacking merit to meet with permanent
success, and Mr., Helmbold's success is certain
ly prima facia evidence. His Drug and Chemi-
cal Warehouse, in the city of New York, is not
excelled, if eQualed, by any in this country, and
we would advise os readers when visiting that
city to give him call and judge for themselves.

JBFP DAVIS AND THE AssAssisATIoS.-
A Washington despatch says it is not
decided whether the House Judiciary
committee will report on the JEFF, Davis
case or not. SO far, they have come to
the conclusion that the evidence tends
to involve Davis in the conspiracy to
assassinate President Lincoln, but that
the chain of testimony is not sufficient
to sustain the charge on trial in civil
court. Several hundred pages OF evil
dence have been taken during the inves-
tigation.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.-News is re-
ceived from Europe to the 10Th inst.
The shore end OF the Atlantic cable was
successfully laid on the 18th, the test be-
ing perfect. The condition of the cable
on board the Great Eastern was tested
night and day, and improved every day
after its immersion under the water in
the tanks, and was also considered cleo
trically perfect. No report has been
made since the 9Th, when everything
was going on well. The vessels were to
complete coiling on the 9th, and the
main cable was to be spliced and the
laying begun or the 11th. The cable OF
1866 has been tested and found to be per-
feet.

FOREIGN NEws.-At the latest dates
from Europe the negotiations for an
armistice between the powers at war,
continued, and no settlement had been
reached. Prussia continues firm in her
demand and Italian papers say she has
declined an armistice. Semi-oAicial vi
emma papers state that Napoleon has
taken fresh steps Of an energetic charac-
ter to effect an armistice, and armed me-
diation has been announced at the Prus-
sian headquarters. The London Globe
believes that the continent is on the
brink Of general European war. The
Paris Moniteur (officiaD announces that
attempts are still made for a peaceful
solution. 1t is believed that England
and Russia have consented to join France
in mediating between the belligerent
powers, and England's new cabinet is
making a strong effort to induce Italy
to accept the mediation.

NrpaAsxA.-An effort is being made

NRBRAsKA.--An effort is being made
for the admission OF Nebraska as a
State before the adjournment of the pres
ent session OF Congress. The Territory
has Just elected two staunch Republi-
cans 10 represent her in the United
States enate, On her admission. The
Omaha Gepubican gives the following
sketch o. their ives and public servl-
ces -
"Major- General John M. Thayer is a
native OF Bellingham, Norfolk County,
Massachusetts. He graduated at Brown
University, providence, Rhode Island, }
and entered upon the study of the law.
He was admitted TO the bar, and for sew
eral years practiced his profession with
distinguished ability and success. In
1854 he settled in Nebraska, and was
soon after appointed Brigadier- General
of the militia Of the territory. He was
subsequently elected member of the Ter
ritorial Legislature, and discharged the
duties of that trust to the satisfaction
of his constituents. Gen. Thayer COM
manded several expeditions against the
Indians on our frontier, and his conduct
as a soldier received the warmest COM
mendations OF his fellow citizens.
Thomas W. Upton was born in Har-
rison county, Ohio, in 1916. In 1874 he
was admitted TO the bar, and for several
years he pursued the practice Of his pro-
fession in his native State. In 1Si5 he
was elected to the Ohio Legislature from
the county Of Guernsey, being the only
successful candidate on his ticket. For
three years ne was at the head of one of
the bureaus or divisions of the General
Land Office. In 1858 Mr.. Upton came
to Nebraska and settled at Brownville,
Nemaha county, where he now resides.
He was elected member of the Legis-
lative Council from his county in 1860,
and in 1864 was chosen as a member of
the Constitutional Convention, which
adjourned without taking action on
that question. In 1861 he was commits
stoned as chaplain of the First Nebraska
Infantry, and served in that capacity
till the conclusion Of the great struggle
in behalf Of Constitutional Government"

The PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION. --
President Johnson seems to be just now
between two fires which must make his
position decidedly uncomfortable.
Washington dispatches state that those
of the Philadelphia Convention support
ers who claim to be Union men are ap-
pealing to the President in the strongest
terms not to allow Democrats to take
possession of the Convention. They say
it will ruin him TO have to carry the
weight Of copperheads North and ex-
rebels South. On the other side the so
called Democrats" are just as loud in
their assertions that they are the only
trustworthy friends he has, and if they
are not recognized as his frieuds he will
. have no party.
Meantime the few papers, formerly
Union, which nave favored the Conven-
ton, are sorelv disgruntled. The New
York Evening Post was impelled by its
extreme free trade notions to support
"new party" movement. But now,
speaking Of the copperheads who have
been elected delegates to the Convention
and who threaten to control it, the Post
cannot conceal its disgust. 1t says;
"The new party If it is to be formed
at all, is formed to get rid of these fell
lows--and mere they are, trooping to
Philadelpha. 20 control it for their.own
advantage n is OF no use. This is
the way not 20 do it. The country is
poG blind the people cannot be BAN
boozled by smooth phrases to accept
party c0utIC.4I by the Woods, Sey-
mours, Brookses, Reeds, Fendletons, and
Vallandighams They feel that many Of
the Republican leaders are blunderers;
but they remember that they are at least
faithful to the Union they uphold the
flag, they believe treason to be crime;
and if there is no other choice, the coun-
try will stick 20 them rather than go
with such company as is now on the way
TO Philadelphia"
The New York Times also says -
1t would be impertinent and insolent
and indecent in such men, for example,
as Vallandigham of Ohio, VIM. B. Reed
of Pennsylvania, or Fernando Wood of
this state, to present themselves as del
egates to Union Convention. The
men who endeavored to destroy both
the Government and Union have no right
to sit in Union Convention, and unless
they are excluded, good and true Union
men will exclude themselves"
The Democratic" papers reply that
they can get along very well without
the politicians OF the Times stripe, al
though the latter first called the Con-
vention. Verify it will be National
Union Convention" with vengeance.
