ASOTIIEK LETTEIl. We are pleased to see another letter from Plattsmouth ia the Cincinnati Times, and understand they are to be continued regularly. .We know of no method by which the facts relative to Nebraska can be placed before the reading people of the east to better a3 varnarze than through a series of cor- repondnce to leading journals throughout the east and wu must con gratulate our correspondent of the Times upon his excellent judgment in selecting tfiat sterling and widely cir culated paper as a medium through which to reach a large portion of the intelligent people of Ohio and o;her Siate. We are pleased wi h the style of this correspondent, al.io. lie deals in facts relative to Nebraska, and his letters can be relied upon by all who desire to ob ain correct information in regard to this country. We make the following extracts from the one before us : "Nature, :n providing us with such magnificent navigible f.re::m, m the Missouri, Mississippi, and Ohio, Midi cates with unerring certainly, the nat ural channel of trude. A vessel can loid at Pittsburgh, or other Points on the Ohio, ana proceed a ditanc of near three thousand mile upon the Ohib7 Mississippi- ocdM.i-souri. Oi the immense value of this trade, yonr readers can form some idea, when they learn, that the Missouri river drains an area of 520,000 square miles, the greater portion, if not all of which, if capable of sustaining a large popula tion " In the fall of 1859. in company with a friend, I visited the Salt B.inns of Lancaster county; for forty miles no sign of human habitation, the monotony on v broken by in whirring of the prairie hens, or the startling of a cay ote, or prairie wolf at the basins. Tc rank vegetation ha'f only been disturbed by the wolf nr.i the equally Healthy Indian, whose tracks were plainly to be seen in the soft mud. Last fall I travelled on the cam? read and vratniU out of siK: of a hi. una and other evidences of civilization. Arrived at the Basins (for there are many in a few miles), I found a thriv ing village, a seminary building of stone, two stories, at least 40 by 70, completed except a few rooms inside, steam mills stores, &c. The etreams which 1 had such difficulty in crossing before, I found spanned by good bridges. A traveler will find the same progress everywhere 1 "Our ur jrrtat want Jstrejs capital, vrople are generally po7nsrtiTrr Our p our niear.s art invested in lane's, Mock, &c. As fast as we maks mone'y it is laid out in improving our land, pur chase of stock, &.c. We have no surplus capital. There are many opportunities for good invest ment here. Money commands 10 to 40 per cent, per annum; 10 per cent, is our legal rate of interest, and a large amount of money could be used at that rate, for which the best security could be obtained. A friena of mine borrow ed, last fall, S1.000 at 10 per cent., to invest in ca tie. A few days since we were counting his gams, and he had cleared 8950.

We learn with sadness, that just at sunset yesterday, when the Mou .tain eteamer Gallatin, having on board, Col. J. M. Chivington, and the family cf the late Thos Chivington, was opposite the lower landing, a mile from our le vee Little Lulu, aged two years and ei'ht months only daughier of Mr?. Chivington. accidentally fell overboard and was swept away The steamer was standing still at the tinii. Lulu, under the protection of her brother Walter, had started from the state room to empty a Lasinof water, but unfortu nately attempting o empty the contents over the side of the vessel, lost her bal ance and there being no guards to the eleamer, fell over. Walter immedi Mtly informed his moiher end inaino Tinnt all on board were alarmed with the cry. -My little girl is overboard." The sweet little girl had t,y hpr win ning manner, endeared herself to ev ery one on board Almost fiprrhuman efforts were mnde by the. Oinifiin to recover her. The steamer falling back two rr three miles but to no Bvail, a skiff also plied o er the pot. But she was never seen again. This ii a severe affliction to the be reaved moiher, m; re fo, as her husband lont his life in like manner less than a year ago, and every humane heart will deeply ytnpa'hizo with her. Col Chivington to day at the head of a party, is making vigorous search for the body.

The Cure of mormon ism. The "peculiar institution" of Mor momsm, and the best and most feasible way of getting rid of this fiis-rracp, are discussed in a particularly snicy u.ari ner in a recent isue f Flake's Gal veston Bulletin. Th following is ;he proposed remedy : '': Open Utah to Gentile dtyh'ht rind the heathenish religion will fads? away. Let goed looking and. robust young men go there sparking, ntid no wou an worth shut:!:s will ha ccntec. with ihe vutjsr fraction of in old dried up sa'nl.

In ihe former case, (Wednesday lust.) the iih tion appeared lobe that of u heavinc, and was accompanied by a hoaria rum bling noise and a sharp trembling of the earth, such as travelers have ex perienced in ihe vicinity rf a herd of ftampeded bu(f;loes.

He writes in a private letter that he prefers the political advantages of America to liv ing anywhere f Ise in the world; a;:d that no true patriot of the South will forsake his native land. "Let us re main here," he sayn, "and endeavor by the favor of God to build up our waste placps, made so by our own in discretion, and continued so by aheat less and unchristian majority in t!ie North." The smouldering meekness of this observation will surprise Mr. Toorubi' fireier sort cf acquaintance. c- Pawnee Indian Agent. Among the list of confirmations by ihe Senrtte on the 20t!i inst., we find that of Judge C. II. Whaley. of Columbus, as Agf-ct of the Pawnee Indians. This is an ex cellent appointment.

Iijt the United States steamer ! Vancerbilt was yoing in a day or two 1 to carry Queen Emma home, and a representative of one f ihe parties had coutrired to secure permission to go out in her. But the ottier side made such representations of thu impropriety of a United Sutes Steamer taking mercantile passengers as induced the Admiral to recall ihe permission, and forbid anybody going ia the Vanderbilt. So far, good, but now the lawyer of the seccnJ party, representing the creditors, wanted to go farther and get carried on the steamer himself; it was a deli cate mutter, but diplomacy succeeded, and lie shipped finally as captain's clerk, got promptly to Honolulu, and was gob bling up ihe remains of the fallen house on shore, when the agent of the o'.her parties having taken a fast sailing ves sel, appeared on the arena. Baffled on shore, the latter went aboard the Vandetlilt, and revealed the whole story. 1 he old admiral was irate at ihe way he and bis ship had b?en used, and peremtorially ordered his captain's clrk aboard ilia vessel, and served notice on him that he could not rerign hi place, but must accompany the ves- el Lack to Aspinwall and V aiparasio whither he woulcTOeedilvSi.iL The story breaks off here; tut the lawyer may be safely trusted, having cared for his clients, to take care of himself. Sjiringfield Repvblican. AXoriiKu'swixo. "A. J. proposes to swing around the southern segment of the magic circle ot the Union during the flowerful month of May. Whether Seward and Grant ar.d Custar and Nasby are again to swing with the Presidential pendulum, io not announced. Mr. Jonnson has not, we believe, visited the South since he dropped ih role of Moses to appear in the rolevf Vice President at Wash ington. When like Norval, he shall stand upon Lis native hills once more, will ihe prejudices of the past overcome hii conservatism and tempt him to re new his offer to hud the millions of Mucks, who lifted implorimg hands to the Military Governor of Tennessee, out of the land of bondage into the light and freedom of ihe promised land? Will the sight of those who persecuted him in th? house of his fathers inflame the old hatred of rebels and rebellion. Will he denounce traitors with the an cient vigor, and insist that they shall jic5.upv back sea's and have no voice in tne reconstiuc;ion-fr u.ayejnmenij This progress of the President through" ihe South will be curiously watched. Those who ara apprehensive that the spirit of the Tennessee patriot willcome upon him and set him to prophesying af!erthe manner of the man three years ago, should see to it that a com mi tee of safety cccompanies him on his journeyings. Cin. Comma cial KECOWSTUIJfJTIOSr. The Hon. lie verdy Johnson publishes the following letter in a Southern pa per : Senate Ciiamdeii, March 22, 1SG7. Dear Sik: Your letter of ihe 18th is received. My vote for the bill you refer to was given, not because 1 ap proved of it, but because I knew that if defeated, or not carried out by the Scuth, other measures ruinous to them in every way, would follow. I wishod by my vote (hoping the South would not doubt my desire to serve them and the whole country) to place myself in a condition to advise them more effectually to acceptance than I would if I had voted against it. My advice therefore is, and I give it most anxiously, that the proper course 10 be pursued by you is to organize under the act at once and in good faith. Very respectfully your obedient ser vant, Reverdy Johnsox. B. T. Castellaw, Esq. Lauds for the State of Tie hrasha. Our Land Officers are in receipt of letters from the U. S. General L.nnd Oihce containing the following infor mation and instructions giving to the Si:ite of Nebraska five hundred thous and acres of land more than wes pro vided for in the act of admission: The Secretary of the Interior under dcteofihe 1st inst., decided that the landa granted to the State of Nebraska in virtue of the enabling act of the 19:h of April, 1S64, are not to be deducted from the Internal improvement, grant ed by the act of the 4th of Sept. 1S1 1 , which applied to said Slate.

SZIAEtl J&3 The war has spared us two very dirty specimens of Democracy; Brick Pomeroy, whose politics are as dirty as H. Clay Dean's shirt collar. Pomeroy is in the South, and Dean's face is in the, same direction. If the Southern people will consent to take them tffour hands and keep them, we should be inclined to advocate recon ciliation upon any terms the Southern people micrht demand.

JPsThe Charles City Intelligencer says tnal Mr. Josephus Welch, of Lloyd courjty has recently lost four cows by "horn disease." The nature of ihe disease is: the cattle are affected with a lameness, rendering thein unable to stand, then with a festering in the head, which, in some instances, has produced nearly a pailful! of matter. The disease seems to be spreading. 73 A purse of $20 nas been made op in Chnton, for the best essay on the tubjpct: "WThy should a person aban don the use of tobacco? A committee consisting of hvo has been selected, consigning of Adjutant General Baker, Kev. Mr. Marsh, Dr. Farnsworth, Col. Mila Smith and F.

The vast amount of that article liberated by the burning of a large distilery, a few days ago, ran down and mingled with the pure waters of Deer Creek, and from there found it3 way to the water-works, and thence to the pipes that supply the city. It wasof course sucked in by the Cinciunatians with (heir usual bev erage, ta the infinite disgust of the temperate portion of the citizens, and a general consternation was the result. Measures were soon taken to turn John 1 Barleycorn out, and put the pipes on their good behavior. EST" Mark Twain, the California humorist, gets off the following : I once knew a great, tall, gawky country editor, near Sacremento, to whom I sent an ode on the tea, starling it with 'The long green swell of the Pacific' The country editor sent back a letter and stated, I couldn't fool him, and he didn't want any base insinua tions from me. He knew who I meant when I wrote the 'long green swell of the Pacific. 'i Jt-s5 Twenty years ago ATfrTdVrifd was a rlerk for the Harmony compa ny, at Cohoes. New York, at sixty dollars per month. He recently sold his interest in the company for &050. 000, and is worth about 82,000,000. Go thou and do likewise if thou cant come it. JEKS5 The Iowa City Republican, in speaking of the recent sale cf the Ce dar Falls Gazette, says: "A man who knows no better than to attempt to run a paper and advertise at one fourth the usual rates, as the late publisher of that sheet has done, will of course be obliged to sell. JSrST'A writer in the New England Farmer says that when tof.iAtoes are growing near an apple tree ihe borers will not trouble the tn e. He plants tomatoes by the trees to prevent them. 2r "I have lost flosh,"said a to per to his companijn. "No great loss," said the oilier "since you have made it up in r-piritf." C2fJohn H. Surratt is promised as speedy a trial as possible by the Ju dicial authorities at Washington, and his case will probably come up about the 27th of next month. JSSF Mr. Nasby writes that the nows of tho Ohio Legislature's refut ing to strike the word "white" out of the State constitution filled the Ken tucky Democracy in his section wiih tho greatest delight. He fays : "Our thrill uv joy at this trooly un expected triumph uv the proud Cau eashun uv Oh:o over the inferior sons ur IIa:n, went jest ez fur in the direck shun uv ckstasy ez did our p.ujga uv wee on hearin uv Vaallandighnm's de feat in 1SG3 in the direckshen uv utter misery.

The Times' special says that every District Com mander has applied to Grat to inter pret the construction on the disfranchis ing clause, they judging that it meant to disfranchise all Sheriffs, Constables and Justices of the Peace. The opin ion of the Attorney Central will bo given on tho subject l'" morrow. Two negroes were taktn from the jail at Nicholasviile, Xy , by a mob and hung. They were raurderers. Sickles Las ordered the election to be suspended, and has appointed John Washington, Mayor. The colored voters of South Carolina are sixty thousand. New York, May 1. A Washing ton special to the World lays that the Supreme Court will only grant Friday for the argument of the Georgia and Mississippi cases. Preparations are being made for Surratt's trial. A Candia letter dated March 21th, to the Tribune, says that the Turks ut terly refused to allow the Commander of tV.e frigate Canandagua to do any thing for the suffering Cretans. Tribune special says that the Presi dent yesterday stated that he should do his duty relative to Davis, aud referred to h i3 proclamation of two years ago, regarding pardons Chicago, May 1. The working men's demonstrations, to-day, in honor of the commencement of operations un der the eight hour law, was the largest display ever witnessed in Chicago. The number in the procession was estimat ed at twenty or thirty thousand, repre senting nearly every department of la bor. A great many workmen hold aloufs apprehensive that the working of tho law will not be advaniagous-iolh? laboring classes More than half the shops of all kinds in tha city are closed, the employers refusing to accede to ihe demands of the workmen. Whatever ultimate result seems probable, the im mediate effect of tho law will be mis chievoos and cause trouble to the em ployers nnd laborers. Similar demonstrations have occurred in most of the principal cities through out the State workmen marching wi'h banners and Sevices expressing a de termination that the law be observed. Lomdon.
