EDITOR ADVERTISER: Your paper
of last week informs rs that the Gov
ernoF has appointed one Seth Robin
son, Attorney General for the State.
In the ''war for the Union, Ne
bTsska furnished two regiments--the
lst and ID Nebraska--tWO b0ttalliOns,
--one IN the Curts Horse and the Ne
braska Battallion-aud several Con1pa-
MES and parts Of companies thatWent
into Kansas and Missouri regiments.
The surviving soldiers OF these or
CARNATIONS are scattered all over the
State, and they are employed ia all
the various occupations Of life, Law
yers, Doctors, Merchants, Mechanics
Farmers and labOrers. These men. as
q general rule, came out Of the army
poorer than they were when the war
commenced, and they have an idea
erroneous perhaps, but stili they have
an ieeas that they are as good as other
men, and that they have equal claims
with Others. on the Governor and Beo-
pie Of the State cf Nebrak IA.
Now look over the various appoint
ments made by David Butler since he
has been Governor, and see if you can
find one Nebraska soldier among the
number.
When the Legislature created the
Office Of Adiutant General, we thought,
certainly His Exeellency WIN appoint
Nebraska soldier TO that cf1ee, bul
be appointed aman that has only been
two OF three years in the State. VII
any person claim that 1Lr. Patrick
claims and qualific lions for that Office
are superior 20 any and al Nebraska
soldiers. i claim that there are score.
Of them, that have qualifications fol
that ofEiee that no strange man car
have. The Governor has shOWn /
wantOn contempt for the soldiers o
Nebraska, and studiously ignore.
them in his appointments. / fathel
think that If the Govern0rof of any 9th
er State should pass over all Of the sol
diers Of that State, and appoint Z
stranger as Adjutant General, hg
would soon have such a storm of In.
dignation burst upon him, that he
would be glad to recall his appoint
ment.
am not finding fault with any oi
Gov Buffers appointees, but I think
it Is curious that net one Nebraszs
soldier has been thought W0rthy
Of an appointment by him, and par
ticularly. that he did not select g Ne

The use Of intoxicating drinks in
the United States has recently been
the subject Of an extended investiga-
ton by a physician Of st. Louis No,
who has published the result Of his
Investigation. From these statistics
it appears that out Of every 800 men
IN the United States, 122 never drink
spirits, l78 drink to various degrees Of
intOxication. OF these 178, It is asser-
ted that 100 drink moderately, but
not to intoxication so are ephemer-
al drinkers; 25 drink periodically,
called sspEeeing,n and are habitual
inebriates. This gives one confirmed
inebriate to every 591 of men use spir-
its. Of700 women 600 never taste al
cohol in any form 80 taste wine oc-
casionally IL taste ardent spirits; 36
drink ale or beer constantly, IL
drink ardet1f spirits periodically, and
three ere habitual inebFiates.

It appears that the expedition which
left for Cuba Monday, was larger than
at first stated. The World says the
steamer Arago was the vessel which
sailed, having nearly a thousand men
on board. Everything was done OPEN
ly. The volunteers went on board
the steamship with their nuskets Ov-
er their shoulders, after having par
taken Of q dinner at q public hotel.
There was no attempt made by the
u. s. authorities TO put stop to the
expedition, although the admiaistra-
ton must have been aware Of It.
Relatives Of some Of the young men
on board telegraphed to Secretary Fish
to have the vessel stopped. The u.
s. authorities here excuse themselves
on the ground that, as President Grant
has as yet issued no neutrality pFOela'
nation. they are not supposed tC
know that any insurrection prevails
/ in Cuba or anywhere else.
Sixty thousand rounds Of amuni
ton, several pieces of light artillery, {
