I'rom time to time this fact is empha sized by the addition to its circle of entorprising, energetic and prosperous men of husiness and financiers, Its numbers has recently beon increased by the arzival of Mr. G, W. Watt of Carroll, la,, who for a number of years bas been the western manager of the Rochester Loan and Banking company at that city. ‘This gentleman is an uu- tiring worker and during his manage- ment of the bank at Carroll, he hns sturted and successfully established several banking institu- tions throughout Nebraska, His erprise in this direction is in connection with the Union bank of this city and the result of hisidentifying himself with this institution is that the capita! stock of the bank has been in- ereusod from $100,000 o $250,000. Omaha is in neod of just such men as Mr. Wattles and there is little doubt but that e will find here a congenial and profituble feld for oporating the logitimate financinl enterprises such as ho is in the habit of engaging in.

General Porter’s case stands out single and alone as illustrating the highest achievement of malignant power and the mostappall- ing prostitution of justice that ever dis- wced the annale of American historyy and it must bo gratifying to ail patriotic citizens that his vindication has heen so complete s to put his accusors to shame while he yet lived. General Warren, who fell undera like cruel blow from the power of prejudice, went to his grave in sorrow heciuse s honor and skill as o soldier were yet questioned on the records of the country for wiose safety he had freely offered his life; but PPortor had been sparea to enjoy the grateful tribute paid to his ability and fidelity by the same author- ity that had smitten and dishonored him. There eanbeno pretense that General Porter’s vindication was due to an) favor or fortuitous circumstanc So strong was the tide of passion thatover- whelmed him that even General Grant, during his cight years in the presi- dency, refused to entertain the question of roviewing the by u military court; butsoonafter his retirement from public life, ho carefully investigated the faets, heroically proclaimed his error and made ¢ possible atone ment for the injustice he had sanctioned over his own signature, sneral Porter was not only falsely acensed, but thav he had exhibited tho highest qualities of gencralship and fidelity in the very acts for which he has been condemned. Soon thereafter o military court, composed of three of the most intelligent and dispassionate gen- erals of the army, unanimously acquittea Porter of every accusation against him and declarved that he mer- ited specinl commendation as a brave and wise soldier for his conduct in the Pope campaign. One of the most impressive of the Imany incidents connected with neral Porter’s long struggle to obtain justice rom a government whose bauties he bad fought in two wars, was the heroic offer of General Terry, when just about gain a major generalship by regular romotion, to forego his own advance ent, so dear to every soldier, in favor General Porter to emphasize Porter’s ndication. A neral Terry had Heen one of the military court that fully vestigated the case, he so keenly de- ored the injustice Porter had suffered it o proposed Porter’s promotion in Jference to his own, to vindicate the apleteness of justice under our free yernment. Porter was ns heroic in refusal as Terry was in the ofter, it added to the lustre of the laurels case neral Porter have per] or skulked aw in me from their own malignant worlk, his dismissal from the army for no rerime than the wisest and most ous perform of ‘duty, r sas an inefl: bolt on the re e a of the republic. True, the fullest vitflication and atonement’ have come, andigome, too, when he and his house- holfgods could unite in joy over the tri- un of long delayed justice: but the storg of his wrongs, of Ris pationt strug- gle ®r the nition of his patiiotic ge* jice, of the final victory of the right ana'pf the universal contempt chevished for Ifis accusers, must ever remain ong of tIig many memorable records 1¢0; which bri ghten or darken the most heroie age of .!_,1.“. times, 2 How n Kebel Got a Horse, 'l,‘.‘[‘ oonfederate cavalryman was oft J¢ puzzled as to how to provide him- selit ith a horse, The authorities gave hindile caoico to keep mounted or go into fthe ranks with his musket, as hors'y were not furnished by the gov- ernmdnt. To be dismounted and be- comeljn foot soldier was worse to him than § court martial, and he would risk much8n his efforts to get a horse from tho ekmy. In the fall of 1863, says the Washing- ton Post, n rebel c: yman had his horse [ killed in a skirmish near War- rentory, and as his best chance was then to cujiture one from the enemy he put his wits towork to devise the ways and means. He was with the outside pickets, and not far off, on the pike, were the cevalry pickets of the enemy. He pro cured a piece of telegraph” wire from the railroad, and when twilight came on stretened this across the road, fastening one end to the fence and the other end to & convenient t just hign enough to cateh a cavalvyman about the belt When matters were thus arranged to his liking he started down the pike, and stopped in plain view of the enemy It was not long before three of them gave chase, mounted on good horses. It wis now too dark for them to seo the wires, and on they came, determined 1o have a prisone The chuase was shurp and quickly over, so that by the time the revel schemer -had passed through and under his trap the eneiy was upon him, The sequel is not hard to guess. Two of the pursuers were quickly unhorsed, the third Leing so much astonished and frightened at their fate us to turn ard beut a hasty retreat, ‘Tke two horses, without their riders, continued do rond and were easily captured tho confederate, who by his clever rusc became their owner and kept his pluce in the cavalry The two pickets, left to themselves, hurriedly made their way back to their comrades as crestfallon and astonished as two mon well could bo. The hero of this incident tells the tale himself, and adds that he rode one of these horses to Appomattox, and from there to his home. and that it was one of the best he ever owned The MeClellan Statoe, The clay model for Mr. Elliott’s eques- trian statue of MeClellan, which is to be unveiled in Philadelphin next Sep- tember, is virtually completed, and it will soon be exposed for the inspection of a committee, Then if it pnsses mus- ter it will be sent to New York to be cast in bronze. I'he Washington Post says the figure represents MeClellan as mounted on o magnificent stullion, with the famous “McC.ellan tree™ for a sad- dle. In his left hand hoe grasps a singlo bridle rein, while his right rests on his thigh. The model is plain but imposing. £+ Uity She Stood on Her Rights, St. Louis Republic: A conductor on the Iron Mountain & Southern r road told the following incident: **Weo were whirling along the othor day through the granito hills of Wayne county, behind time and running at a furious rate, when the enginecer caught sight of an old woman slowly pottering ahead on the trac Instantly the whistle was biown. No heed, however, was tak it. Thinking the venor- able damo would got out of danger in due time, the speed was not slackened, though the screnming of the whistlo made the hills ring. Yot still the old woman Kkept slowly on, turning her head neither to the right nor to the left until the engine was almost upon her, ‘I hen the brakes were put on with a will and the teain was stopped just in time to save her life. What the devil is the matter with you?' asked tho engineer as he jumped off and took the ancient dame by the shoulder, . “*You needn’t scream so. You made fuss enough already,’ was saustio reply ***You heard the whistie, then?’ ‘Sartinly. I hain’t denf. ***Then, why in thunder didn’t et off the track?” **You hain’t got no right to run over folks as I knows on, and it's your busi- ness tostop when you see them walking on the track.’ “Tho swearing of the army in Flan- ders was nothing compared to that of the engineer ns he pushed her aside, sprang upon the machine and set it going again to the tuno of forty miles an hour.” o of have the you - WAS INVENTED IN OMAHA.
