PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA. THURSDAY", MAY 20, 1869. CORRESPONDENCE. We ere desirous of receiving eorrespondeoce from all parts of the SUte, relative to the material Inter t. of the country, together With such, other met eras contributors may deem of Interest. It is discoTered that the Sage-lands in Nevada, where the Digger Indians lived on worcas and ratbiis, are excel Jent for wheat. Tf mentioned a short tints sine that parties were here looking out for a. site for a foundry. The arrangements have since been perfected, and Ihe work of erecting the neceiaary buildings will soon commeaee. . The Report of the Adjutant General of the Grand Army of the Republic hows that there are ia the United States thirty-seven departments and two thousand posts of the order. A Charleston, South Carolina, dis patch says account from all parts of the State represent the upland cotton crop very seriously injured by the re cent cold weather; in many cases ren dering re-planting necessary. The Sea Island crops look promising. A New York dispatch of the 15th says : '-Letters which left San Fran cisco on the evening of the 6th of May, were distributed at the postofSce in this city at 9 o'clock this eveaing. Passengers arrived to-day in eight days from San Francisco." An intelligent correspondent for Tennessee, says the Republican party in thatState rallier to the great soldi es with hearty enthusiasm. Demoraliza tion of our forces is coming hugely into view, according to Democratic testimony, but it is all in the eye. Dispatches from Washington aay that reductions in the Treasury De partment still continue and dismissals are daily taking place. Give us mere of them. Grant is making his ad ministration popular with the people by weeding out the service and mak ing it .a working corps.J instead' of a vast body of lazy, dishonest pension ers. The Central City Register contains the following: "We are informed by H. M. Teller that the contract is made for laying the track of the Colo rado road from its junction with the Denver Pacific to Golden City, Imme diately on the completion of the later road. The mountain line will be iron ed and stocked by the same influence as soon as it shall be graded. On Aogust 7th a total' eclipse of the sun will occur. This will be tfie most interesting eclipse that has been wit nessed in this country for many years, and it will not happen again until the last year of the century. The shadow of earth will' commence crossing' the sun's disk about four o'clock in the af ternoon, and will not entirely pass from it until nearly half past six. The Chicago Evening Journal in speaking of the Quaker Indian Com mission appointment says: "The President has appointed eighteen gentlemen with halt, to con fer with the gentlemen without hats, apon the plains. We shall now see the difference between thee and thou. The remains of Daniel O'Conntll were re-interred in the cemetery at Glasueiver, near Dublin, on the 15th inst The ceremonies were very im . posing', and were conducted by. Arch bishop Cullen. Over 8,000 persons were present The Mail has information that the stockholders of the Tribune have decided (at their meeting last evening) to abolish the office of managing editor, and that Mr. Hazzard will be in charge of the paper during the day, and Mr. Whitlow at night. Mr. Young thus loses his position, but is not removed from the paper. colli We find the following in regard to the recent discovery of coal near Weeping Water, in the Nebraska City Chroniclii Coal. Mr. Tyson of Cass county reports the discovery of a four foot or over, vein of coal. The discovery is made 10 miles above the Weeping Water Falls, and 31 miles from Ne braska City. The quality is excellent and an endless supply. A Mr. Mans field Osborn is the owner, and Mr. Walker is the discoverer. The mine was discovered- at a depth of seventy feet. Mr. Walker is makiog arrange ments to claim the premium offered by the State, which will amount to about three thousand dollars. This is good news for South Nebraska, and c.n be relied npon as exactly correct. This vein is about 22 miles from PJaltsmeutb, and within a short dis tance of the surveyed line of the B. & M. R. R. west from this city,' via We epjng- Water. The President has issued his proc lamation designating the 6ih of July as the day for voting on the new con stitution of Virginia. The fourth clause of section one, and the seventh section of article third are submitted separately. In the suit against the city of Rich mond to make her redeem her small notes to the amount of $100,000 issued during the war, Chief Justice Chase has decided that they having been is sued to aid the rebellion they cannot be redeemed. The Legislature which authorized their issue was a de facto Legislature, that had power to grant such authority, and had the notes been issued for any legal purpose and not for the subversion of the Government they would be liable to federation. The people of free West can hardly understand that such things as the whipping, post and pillory are yet maintained and sanctioned by law any where in this Republic; yet Delaware, away off toward sunrise, where "light" should be eEed early, supports these relics of barbarism, as will be seen from the following telegram of the 14th : "The new .whipping post and pillory erected in the jail yard here, by the authorities of New Castle, to sup ply the place of the ancent and worn out one, was inaugurated to day with the usual interesting ceremonies." LATEST. Just as we go to press we received the following important particulars in regard to the coal discovery at Stove Creek: The following are the beds passed through at Stove Creek. 26 feet of dirt and clay to rock, 10 " sand stone, 3 " slate and clay, 9 inches of coal, 12 feet of rock, Thin vein of coal, 20 feet soap etone, fire clay and thin veins of coal, 5 feet of slate, 3 feet and 6 inches cf coal, and not through when the drill broke. A movement is on foot in St Louis, to protect river marine from fire and piracy. The idea is to procure an iron clad tug with sufficient power to tow from the levee the largest steamers in case of fire, and to have a powerful steam fire engine on board ready for use at a moments notice. The tug is to ply up and down the barber day and night and to have a locomotive bead lights at bow and stern midships, so ar ranged that they will illuminate al most the entire harbor or can be dark ened at will. Insurance and marine interests will probably furnish the tug, and the police authorities will man her. It is also proposed to license and regis ter all skiffs and small boats plying the harbor, as a preventative of river piracy, which is carried on quite ex tensively. THE RAILROAD. There now, do not get excited be cause we have put the word "Rail road' at the head of this article we are not going to astonish you with any revelation nor tickle your fancy with any predictions ; but we have beard a number of individuals ask, during the past week, why the Hirald did not say more about the railroad, and we beg to pay to all that it is not because everything does not look lovely on the railroad question, but simply because this is not exactly the time for talk, but for work. Localities that have little prospects of railroads generally make a great noise about them; and as we have but little to say here at present, those who are so inclined can take it as an evidence that we are about to have a railroad, and consequently have no occasion to "blow." There is every reason for believing that the B & M. Co. will commence work on this aide of the river in a very short time, and we have' thought best to bold on a lit tle, in order that we might talk the better when the time for talk comes. Since writing the above, Mr. Strong, Attorney for the B. & M. R. Co., has visited our city and met the County Commissioners, and we now say hurrah boys ! We have the au thority from Mr. Strong for saying that work will be commenced in a short time -just as soon as the ar rangements can be made for letting a contract The road will be pushed through this county as fast as men and money can build it We have only space to say, in this issue, that the hopes of those who have labored and waited for the past ten years for the B. fe M. R. R. to be bcilt west of the Missouri river, will coon be realized to their fullest extent Let everybody prepare, for we will be deluged with railroad bands-in a very short time. It may be a few weeks ; yet it will, nevertheless, be soon Trask, the tobacco-maniac, writes amiable letters to the Independent, tell ing those who use and those who cul tivate tobacco that they are going where, at least, they will never want for a light. To tSae Friends of Sunday Schools. The undersigned would respectfully call the attention of all the friends of Christian Education in Nebraska to the following liberal propositions : . By means of the liberality of some good Sunday School friends, be is au thorized to say that he will supply in part, with Libraries, the first two new Sunday Schools tbet shall be duly or ganized in each county in the above State and reported to him, to the follow ing extent and on the following condi tions, riz : I. If the school shall consist of not less than five teachers and twenty five scholars, he will give 6 toward a $12 library the school or its friends paying the reft. II. If the school shall consist of ten teachers and fifty scholars, he will give $12 toward a $24 library the school paying the other half. No matter how many schools exist in the county, this proposition is to new schools that shall be organized this year. If more than two applications come from any one county, the first two re ported will have the preference. The report must embrace the fol lowing particulars : 1. The name and location of the school. 2. The name and postoffice address of the Superintendent 3. The date of its organization. 4. The num ber of scholars and teachers. 6. How, and to whose care, the books should be sent 6. The money required from the school must accompany the appli cation. Each school should raise some three or four dollars, in addition to what is required for the Library, for the neces sary instruction books, hymn books, &c But this is not a condition of re ceiving the donation. On receiving the applications, the books will be immediately sent, from the depository in St. Louis or Chicago, according to direction, to all entitled to them. The books, with which these orders will be filled, are the various libraries and other volumes of the American Sunday School. Union, at their cata logue prices. The following additional books will ordinarily do for a school of twenty five scholars, viz : 6 Union Primers, at 4c, tie Flrt Readers, al fx-, 80c 8 Union Spelling Book,, at 15c, 80c 6 Union Queition Books, at 15c, 90c S Child's Scripture Questions, at 15c, 90c 25 Sunday School Child's IJyina Booki, at 2e, SOc 10 Penny Question Books, at 1 1-Sc, 15c Tickets, He Total, S 00 The Child's World is also desirable. It may be had monthly or semi-monthly, at the option of the subscribers, on the following terms. Monthly. Semi-Montbly. 10 eoples 1 rear, 1 address, $1 20 $ 2 40 85 8 00 6 00 ' so " e oo iaoo 75 eo is oo 104 " IS 00 24 00 Being at the rate of 12 cents each per year for the monthly, or 24 cents for the semi-monthly. No subscrip tioas to either edition will be received for a less number than tern copies. Payment invariably in advance. Specimen copies furnished gratui tously on application to the subscriber. The desire is cherished that all be nevolent persons residing in the above territory, who may chance to see this notice, will use their influence to have the schools organized in their respective neighborhoods, and promptly reported. During the last twenty years, 3.029 schools, containing 19,861 teachers, and 111,480 scholars, have been sup plied with libraries, chiefly by one of these benevolent gentlemen, at a cost to himself of nearly $20,000. Being satisfied of the general good it has ac complished, this proposition is renewed for the year 1869. It is hoped that no county will fail to secure two libraries. Applications for books, on this preposition, as also donations from the American Sunday School Union, should be addressed to the undersign ed. He is prepared also to furnish all the publications of the American Sun day School Union at Philadelphia prices. Libraries selected, and schools fined out with everything necessary from the extensive catalogue of the Society's Publications, and promptly forwarded from St. Louis, on applica tion to the undersigned. A. W. COBEY, Godfrey, III. The Farmer On the Safe Side. The farmer is apt to think the pro fessional man, or the . merchant, lives an easy and luxurious life. In many instances their families may do so; but with the eminent and successful man of law, or science the artisan or merchant himself, such a supposition is a great mistake. There are not un der heaven's broad canopy a more la borious class of men than these. La bor of body and of mind are theirs, and that incessant See them early, late, in season "and out of season their whole energies devoted to their several callings without rest or inter mission and far too frequently to the premature wasting of life itself. It is no wonder that such industry directed by good education (and by this term education I mean the entire training of the boy to manhood, in its most ex tended sense.) and stimulated by a laudable ambition, should lead to suc cess. Yet with all these appliances the labors of such men are often disas trous; and if not so, after a life of anx iety, their toils frequently end with but the means of slender support Com pered with these, the toils of the far mer are light. Physical labor he en dures, it is true, and oftentimes severe labor, but his mind is easy. He en 1'oys sound rest and good health. He las much leisure; in many cases more than is for bis good. He has abund ant time to discuss politics, law, relig ion everything, in fact, that may in terest or profit him. Ex. "I' live by my pen," said a vulgar author to a lady. "Yon look, Eir, as if. you otrght to live in a pen." National Encampment O. A R. Cincinnati, My 13. The Na tional Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic met tn secret session at nine o'clock this morning-. Chap lain General Quaint introduced a reo Iution proposing that the G A. R should form a Life Insurance and An nuity Corporation. The motion was adopted and referred to a special com mittee. namely: ' Facbtz. of North Carolina ; Potter, of New York ; Baby shell, of Peonsvlvania : Shaw, of Rhode Island, and Denny, of Massa chasetu. The Committee on Finance made their report, which was accepted. and tbr committee discharged. Com rade Rhodes, of Rhode Island, was admitted as a delegate to the Conven tion. PendiDg the report and debate on the proposed riunl convention excluded all but the delegates. The Annuity Corporation proposed by Fachtz is to be organized under the laws of tne United States as a Co-operative Asso ciation for the benefit of heirs of de ceased comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, and will be chartered by Coogress as a National Incorpora tion, the object of which corporation is to provide and secure a certain sum. not less than one thousand dollars, to the heirs of each deceased member. The conditions of admission to mem bership are that the applicant must be a comrade of one of the Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic of good standing, that be must accompany his application with fifty cents admission fee, and that his application must be filed before the first day of January, 1871. After that date the number of members cannot be increased under any condition. No restrictions what ever are made as to age, condition, habits, state of health, or anything else, in regard to qualification of op plicant. THE UAIVEItSITXr The Governor has appointed and commissioned for Regents of the Uni versity of Nebraska: Rev D R Dungan, of Pawnee City; Hon K W Furnass, of Brownville Rev J C Elliot, of Nebraska City; Rev J B Maxfield, of Plattsmouth; Hon A B Fuller, of Ashland. Col C S Chase, of Omaha. Dr F H Loogsley, of Blair; Wm B Dale, of Columbus; Wm G Olinger, of Tekamah, The first meeting of the Regents will be held at Lincoln on the second day of June, when a Chancellor will probably be chosen, and other meas ures taken to put the University into successful operation. Statesman. Some very mean , thieves stole the carpets from the Masonic Lodge rooms in Lafayette, Ind., the other night. A dark deed. The river is high at Memphis, and there is a chance of more caving'in of the city front The river swallows up real estate by wholesale, and pays no tax Two colored gentlemen settled an affair of hoL-or in Savannah, Ga., the other day, a "buitiug contest.' No great amount of brains damaged. Austria has 3,000 acres jal virgin forest, produced by planting, which are estimated to be worth several hundred millions of florins. Among the Court files at Taunton. Mass., is the finding of a coroner's jury, which concludes that "the said came to bis death by the visita tion of the aforesaid God." In 1853 the United Kingdom de voted a million and a half acres to po tatoes. Great Britain more than bait a million, and Ireland, more than a mil lion. Twenty-eight thousand two hundred and twenty-one marriages were sol emnized in Ohio during the year end ing December 31, 1863. All the re ports of results not in. A lsdy, who has a great horror of tobacco, got into a railroad carriage the other day, and inquired of a neigh bor, "Do you chew tobacco, sir ? "No, madam, I don't," was the reply; but I can get you a chew if you want one. An exchange says: "In the village of Tipton, Ind., all tue liquor saloons are closed and have crape on their doors, the combined effect of a' revival and of a raid by trre ladies." It is their tu n to wear crape, for they have caused many others to wear it. A man whose sweetheart had died in St. Louis recently, followed her ex ample, ind when dissected it was feund that the heart was literally bro ken. We pity the heart but not the man. A schoolmaster, after giving one of his pupils a sound drubbing for speak ing bad grammar, sent him to the other end of the room to inform another boy that he wished to speak to him, and at the same time promised to repeat the dose if he spoke to him un grammatically. The youngster being quite satisfied with what h got deter mined to be exact, and thus addressed bis fellow pupil: "A common sub stance of the masculine gender, singu lar number, nominative case, and in a very angry mood, that sits perched upon the eminence at the other end of the room, wishes to articulate a few sentences to you in the present tense. Suicibk. On Saturday night a week, Peter McCarty, lately engaged rs a sub-contractor or a "boss" on the Rock Island Roatl, went to Omaha with some friens. While there be drank a great deal of liquor, and in a fit resulting from this dissipation, took an over dose of laudanum. Medical assistance enabled him to partially recover, and be was brought to this' city, where he lingered until Monday morning and died from the result of his rash act. He was a generous and noble hearted Irishman, but unfortun ately was given to the bane of too many fine natures. Nonpareil. Attempt to murder a Preacher The Tribunes Atlanta, Georgia, special of May 13th, says a large number of Republicans from all parts of the State are now in the city, be lieving death certain if they go home. Among them are many members of the Legislature. A desperate attempt was made in Burke county on Sunday last to murder the Rev. Mr. Pitman, presiding Elder of the Episcopal Church. He had preached there and had induced a number of colored peo ple to renounce allegiance to the Methodist Church South aud join an other church. A gang of Ku Klux planned his death and picketed the road frcm his hotel to the depot, but a colored man guided him across the field and a voluntary guard of colored men accompanied him to the depot. ' Upon bis arrival there pistols were pointed at bis bead and death seemed certain, but the "firm stand taken by the colored people saved his life. The only charge against him, was that he was a Radical. THE DEMOCRATS Of the city feel exceedingly jubilant over the late city election. Their "sharp practice" gave them success, but it certainly had the effect of open ing the eyes of all who have been nerelotore niinaea witn a beiiet in their political honesty, and the future will show different results. Republi cans will hereafter move in solid phalanx against a political enemy 'bat knows no "split" or "fusion" in which they do not reap some decided advan tage. We must use their weapons of unity "sheet iron tickets' and vigi Iant labor and success must be the re sult ChronicU. Interesting to Railroad Men Habbisbcbg, May 13. Judge Pearson, in the Court of Common Pleas, decided two cases of gene al interest this morning. Two railroad companies claimed that their bonds, on which tax was imposed, were held by citizens of New York and other Slates and that Pennsylvania could net tax property of citizens of other States The Court decided that if the property was protected by Pennsylvania it could be made to pay us share of taxation Judgment was rendered against the companies. THE SALINE LANDS. It having been rumored that the 40,000 acres of Saline Liods adver tised for sale by the State Commission ers would not be offered as advertised on account of the entry not being com plete at Washington, we waited upon the Governor yesterday to ascertain the facts in the case. We are assured by his Excellency that there is no foundation whatever for this report, and that the lands will certainly be put up for sale as advertised. Common wealth. We are informed by the appraisers of fhool lands in this county, that sec tion 1C, township 2, range 7, adjoin ing Blue Spring on the East, was ap praised last week at $4.127,50. Nearly one half of the section was covered by first-rate timber, come of which was appraised as high as $60 per acre. That's pretty good for old Freemont's "Great American Desert." Beatrice Clarion. The second -Annual Convention of the Nebraska Sunday School Associa tion will be held in Nebraska City, May 26, 27 and 28ih. Active SuBday School men from abroad will be pres eut to add to the interest of the occa sion. Delegates are invited from all Sunday Schools in the State. Dele gates will be entertained by the friends at Nebraska City. Wm. R. Bentlit, Sec ry. A resident of Treasure City, in the White Pne mining region, recently died, and a man was hired to dig his grave. When the funeral cortege ar rived at the spot they were informed by the grave digger that be had struck a splendid lead, and had staked off a claim; and he refused to allow the body to be buried in the hole he had dug. The wonderful productive qualities of Nebraska have never been general ly understood grain yields double the quantitty per acre over our Eastern States, and the same proportion seems to be striven - after by some of our ambitious cattle Mr. N. Paso has a cow which presented him two fine calves a few mornings since, one a heifer and the other a bull, and each has life enough for two more calves. Nebraska beats the world for grain and slock, pity some of our noble women couldn t give us a little dis tinclion in their line. FremoritTtibune Tax to bi Refunded. Chief Jus tice Chase decided recently in a case at Baltimore that the Government could not collect iacome lax frcm for eigners who hold our bonds, and that what has been collected most be re funded. The Internal Revenue Bu reau is preparing to carry out this de cision. Several hundred thousand dol lars will be taken out of the Treasury for this purpose. D. R. Locke, Esq.. better known as the Rev. Petroleum V. Nasby, having made his mark as a lecturer and letter writer, now proposes enter upon a new field. By the last number of the Toledo Blade. Nasby's paper, we learn that he will begin the publication of a serial story about the middje of this month. If he is as interesting in this field as he has been in bis letters, the story must prove a decided success. Young ladies should be careful and not get chaps on their lips. They have been known to lead to an affect ion of the heart An experienced old gentleman says that all that is necessary for the en joyment of love or sausages is confi dence. A century plant is in bloom in a Rochester, New York nursery. This is the fourth of these plants that has bloomed in the United States. There is a man in Washington who is handsome as a man, and delightfully fascinating when made up as a woman. This person has been one of ; the most successful pilferers in the District, but at last he was caught. He has been courted by men, who have breathed the tender passion to him, and he in his turn has taught women the first lesson in love. Whenever he thought there was a chance of being ' arrested, lie would dress in woman's apparel, and in this way would be incarcerated with women. A paper of that city says that his career has been tinged with every crime but that of mtxder. The Independent, referring to the common way of calling "reformers" long-haired, gives the names of the principal "reformers," and shows they are all deficient in hair, or else keep it closely cut. Garrison," Phillips, Greeley, Theodore Parker1 'and But ler have very little hair. . Sumner and Beecher are close cropped. The Des Moines Bulletin says that "as a result of Aiina Dickinson's late lecture in this place, a lady has com menced working at the tinner's trade." Estray Notice.
