E. II. EATON, riattsmouth, Dec. 27th, 155-5. tf STICKS TO IT. Dr. Miller has made the assertion that the Union Army was a tyrannical concern, and would not allow men to be ''Democrats," and no;v proposes to substantiate his assertion if possible. Well. Dr., we don't know, really, whether, you are to Llarne or not fcr not liking tho "Loys in blue." They were hard on some of your "friends" down South. But then you ihoulJ not let your dislike carry you so far. -We belive the boys had a perfect right ti vote, and we do not think that vote could have been '-bought for a jug; cf whiskey." No; the trouble with you is not that they could not have "inde pendent political opinions,"- Lut that they could and did have them, as is evidenced by thousands who forsook the ranks of Democracy when they saw that party hissing them and siuLbingnever l,ee() a failure in crops from the. them in the I at k while the armed trait ors were firing at ihem in front. That is the reason yjur party get r.o votes j among the armies of the Union. And now these ' b.iys in blue" see men in Nebraska, with whom ihey were en gaged in deadly omlai for the life of the nation only a few days ago, march up t the polls to 'vote down the blue coatdd, brass-buttoned abolitionists." Is it any wonder, under these circum stances, that every soldier who l.as stood the ' heat and burthen" of th war for the Uni ni should deposit a la'lot against such men, and that these men and their leaders, should cry "fraud upon the people of Nebraska." .Vi ost ri;iKT." Under the above heading Morton calls upon his friends to have the Rock Binds vote counted anyway, whether it is legal or n t ; and nrjes men. to fight if it should not lie counted. Hold, M-.rtcn ; you and othjrs of your stripe talked the same way onco before. Have you forgotten the past five years ? We suppose it is desired ly such men to either have a fight or have the fraudulent vote, at Falls City counted ; also, to have a fight if the soldiers vote is counted, which they denounce as "a swindle a fraud upon the people of Nebraska,' and which they say could 'be bought for a jog of whiskey." Who do you propose to right ? Is it the first Nebraska that you seek an en counter with ? They have had many a "tilt" with seme of your Nebraska Cry backers, and lo the beat of our knowledge Lave generally come cut victorious. THK PKOrMBlTlf 1V.1IC 1!V LU- Hjrfcr's H't hiy s iys, there will ap parently Le a Conference of the Eu ropean powers, bet it is generally con ceded thai war is unavoidable. This u!l not seem strange to any one who redacts that there is a universal wish in Curope to reconstruct the map, as i'. is called. That can be done cn'.y by peaceful negotiation or by war. But what chance is there r.inong the con flicting claim?, and hot pasions and ambitions of the various powers, that a hinnonious redistribution could be male? The wisest heads, are clearly of opinion that it is hopeless, and that it may not be possible even to hold the dogs of war in leash until the Con gress dissolve?. Meanwhile the number of troops upon a war fooling is already enormous. The Northern army of Austria alone, under General lienedek, upon the front iers cf Trussia and Saxony, is com posed of 3S0 000 men and 500 guns The Austrian force in Venetia id 130, 000 men, while the Austrian reserves comprise 600,000. Vienna is being strongly fortified. The Italian army will contain more than oOO.OOO men, of whom 2-50,000 are already in the first line, and are inspired with the ut most enthusiasm. The Prussian force is immense, and Europe is already a camp once more. There are two elements which have not been much considered, but which I may prove to be of great importance. These are Russia and the Repulicans. The people of Europe at this time would hardly allow the struggle to be merely a dynastic combat. They would sieze the moment cf universal tumult to claim further rights; and when once a war begins of the necessary propor tions of this, it is impossible to foreteil the end or the result?. A great deal more than was mean! will te loth won i and lost. The editorial correr-pn.-'lnce of the Kansas SI uie Journal, dated Nebraska City, June. G'.h. contains the following: Nebraska ha a population of at out -1.1000. Its population in lSoO was 20,000, showing a steady and very gratifying increase. 'I he inhabitants are industrious, order!' and entt-rpris-ino:, composed almost txc'u?ivey of the agricultural classes. The reports in Agricultural Department al WasLing ton shows that tlie farmers' of Nebrus ka for 1SG5, raised larger crops to the acre, and received a higher price per bu?hel for their produce than an aver age of three-founhs cf the States in the Un on. As a grain producing re gion it is unsurpassed. Jioth fall and spring wheat is grown hi re wiih suc cess. Corn especially in the rich val leys of -LTenuquicourt. the Platte, the Weeping Water, the Nemaha, the Blue and Salt Creeks, yields abundantly, and is always a sure tron. Inere r.as first settlements in 18-31 to the present lime. A successful experience ot twelve years has fully demonstrated the capacities of this Terri'ury for grawi growing. Tiiere is abundance of pas- ! turage for sti ck, and upon tlie rich and excellent prairie grasses stock thrive finely, and the growing of wool, and the raising of carle could but be. a very remunerative business were it not for the coniderably greater lima required to feed in thu course of the year than is rerpiired in more southern latitudes. I he eve re winters, tlie piercing winds the broader valleys and greater amount ' of limber in latituaes furiher south, will ntver allow Nebraska to success fully compete with southern Kansas in growing wool ai d raising stock. The eastern purtion of the Territory, for a distance of 1-30 miles back from the river, is capable ef supporting (juite a dense population. This Comprises all the really valuable lands in the Tetri tory. MARSKTS. Nebraska will lways pvsess a rea sonably fair market for all surplus pro duce. Two or three d.llererit railroad will in ihe course of the next three years strike her eastern bolder. These wi'h ihe Mi'S'.'uri river and a line of rnilway smith to St. Joseph, Missouri, furnishes excellent facilities fcr t astern transportation, which, however, wiil probably nver be made available to any considerable extent for the ship menl of expoits, as there wiil always be a western demand for all surplus that Nebraska can raise. ITS G H A Is IMC A I. IVlSITION. The geographical pjritioii of Ne-brat-ka, if not the best, is better than a majoiityof the Slates. It is in the geographical centre of the continent, and has within her borders located the main trunk of the great Pacific Rail road, an entersrise of such gigantic magnitude, destined to have such a con trolling influence upon the direction the commerce and the weabli of this country and ihe world shall take, that i' cannot fail to bring opul-nce and prosperity to the region through which it passes. LCADUNC TOWNS. The leading towns in Nebraska are are Nebraska City, Omaha, I'latts mouth and Ihownville. Nebraska City Ins a population of about 8,000 Omaha nearly the same, wiih splendid future prospects being th initial point cf one of the branches cf the Pacific Rail road, Plaltsuiouih.has about 2.000, and lirownville ab ut 1.200 inhabitants. You made a slight mistake, Mr. Journal, in giving the population ef Plattsinouth, it should be 3,000 instead of 2,000. IT.M1X. The New York Tribune of the 1 1th gives the following : Since the collapse of the Roberts Sweeney scheme for conquering Ire land by way of Canada, the sentiment of the Fenians ceijera"y seems to be again setting in favor ot the plans of Air. Stephens. Several large sub scrip'.ions in aid of the movement-were sent tnto tb.8 Stephens Headquarters yesterday. The members of one branch of the Father Matthew Society, w ho have already contributed S-500 to fur nish transportation for Fenian troop, have agreed to d jub'e the sum and pre sent it to Mr. Stephens on his return to this ci'.y. Mr. S. is expected to visit Cincinnati this week, and will probably arrive here on Monday or Tuesday ' n.v TTi renresem- ii-p Kpt nr. confident that he will yet succeed in reconciling oil differences of opinion among the members of the organiza tion, and again uniting them for a com mon effort in behalf of the cause for which they are striving. Great indignation is professed by the Irish residents of ibis cuy at the course cf the United Sia'es Govern ment in relation to the recent Canadian expedition, and it is proposed to hold a monsier meeting in the Union-square in the course of a few days lo express their sentiments in regard to ihe mat ter.

An exchange say s : "A sycamore tree was cut down, a few days ago, on Forty point, Ya. ; and in mauling it up, a lock of hair was discovered in tint centre of the tree, about four feet from the ground. The l air a; pcared to be a curl from a female head, and must have been put in r.s position ome fifty or sixty years ago. A hole had been gouged to the heart of the tree, the hair put in, and the hole plugged up. The place had afterwards grown over, and the cavity was found te be in the heart ot the tree. The hair nppeared to be as fresh as if lately cut from the human head." The above circumstance brings to mind an old scperstitious practice, onc very common in some parts of our country. For ihe cure of Phthisic, Fpileptic Fits, and some other com plaints, ihe following treatment was deemed soverc ign : The person h.TIici ed was made lo stand erect, with the bac k against a tree. A Uk k ot hair on the Ion of the head was lifted up its P ' full length, and an aug'iir hole bore into th? tree nt a proper height to re ceive the end of ihe lock so elevated The hair was inserted in the hole, a wooden plug driven n, and the hair dipped oil otr.tide. Tins being done, u was firmly believed that the patient would remain free from lhf complaint until he or she grew to the height of bole in which the hair was fastened. It will te seen, that persons who had already attained their growth, or who had very long hair, had a much surer thing of it than short-haired persons, or those who had yet to do the better par. of their growing. We can re member of several persons who prac ticed this mpihod of cure, in our young er days. Doubtless, if the history of ; Mr. V. following : the lock of hair mentioned in the above!

E'Enuqu: Court county is not wun wires, anJ it bethought me to gti ih e items. The farmers were so high iy pleased with their succes and argiud the point so well that I was convinced that wire must fence Nebraska. Bui one instance of breach of wires had occurred : a horse pelting freight ened started cfT full "chisel" and om- i i contact with toe fent e at jo;nt in l the top-wire, it snapped, but Ioomii" his centre of gravity on the next wire he turned heels over head into the field; thereupon finding himself corralled, he made three unsuccessful charge", at double-quick to gain his oiMependence and then injuriously surrender d to prevent the unnecessary ttiusion of bhioif from his slight v ounds received by repeated collisions w ith the wires. The wire should be telegraph size, No. 0. costing about 12 1-2 cents per rod Jelivered here.

P:it;ing up the fence is but a small matier in consequence of the small n.. ruber of post. If passed through holes th wir?s rust, thi is prevented by attaching to the sides by m-ims of staples made of lin wire and diiven into th 1 fastenei po ts. The wires need not be I except at the corners of the field. They are drawn tight by pulley or lever power. At present rates of labor and trans portation, wire is much cheaper than any other durable fence. XV. T. R.x Cholera in New York.

Ti e patient had the best of medical treatment, but only survived the attack ?A'y hours, dying on Tuesday night. The house in which she died is ;aid to be a model of cleanliness and hygienic care, so that the cause of the disease must be sought in some? other place The residence of her si-ter in W'illett stiec t i in one those overcrowded districts- so numerous east of Fifih avenue at.d i" surrounded by all the nrcumu lationsof filth which are almost inevit al le where families are huddled to gether in tenant hou-es.

That she died of the Asiatic cholera, however, cannot be doubted. Some other caes of insipient cholera were also reported yesterday afternoon, but they were not sufficiently well de fined last evening to warrant us in giv ing the names of the patients, or the location of their home. Robbery at tiieFahmiam IIolsi; Last night a bold robbery was com mittsd at the Farnham House, by which several of the boarders were victim ized about $200 and a silver watch. On discovering their loss this morning measures were taken to ferret out the. thief, which was soon accomplished by means of a S-30 counterfeit greenback which one of the victims bad among his lost money, and which the thief nad already passed at oft-t of our sto-e. Mar-hal Snowden was immediate! on his track, and soon arrested hi:u in Bruning's barber shop. The stolen money and watch were found on hi person. He was taken before Judge INscail, where, as ve write, he is un dergoing his examination. The fel low's name is James Ward, and he rep resented himself as having been, until quite recently, in the Government em ploy. P. S. The facts as above stated were proved upon the fellow. Ward, and Judge Hiseall held him to bail in ihe sum of SS00. In default of pro ' curing it. he was lodged in jail.
