The Omaha Republican ex pi eces as tonishment that Cass county went Re publican after the doincr-s ut Weeping Water. The Republican should bear in mind that "there is a much difference in people a3 in anybody," and that the men who were so shamefully treated at Weeping Water, and who refuse to n ognize the proceeding. of that meeting ad "Republican in form," arc not the class of men to fly into a pet and cWl Democrats to office when any kind of proper men arc out as Republicans. The shoe pinched on the other foot last fall, and a ticket was got out with Yv'heat ly Mickelwait on for Representative, and everybody knows Mickelwait is one of the most uncompromising Democrats in the State ; yet we believe the Chair man of the recent Weeping Water Con vention and most of his political endors ers voted and worked for Mickelwait as against the lion. David McCaig, who had served his party aud his country on the tented field. The men whom Mr. Clapp and Co. over-rode at Weeping Water arc Republican, hence they vot ed for Republicans for office. The Re publican, needinevcr fear their giving "aid and comfort to the enemy.

What would a Railroad benefit Plattsmouth if ehe were cut off from the farming country if she had no wagon roads over which to get the products of our rich soiL Railroads carry these pro ducts to foreign markets, but wagon roads are an absolute necessity for col lecting these products ready for thlp ment As the railroad is soon to be in operation to this city, both east and west, it stands tho people in baud to look sharp Ij after their wagon roads. We need a great deal of work done, if the city and country both would ' prosper. It is as important to the one as the other. . Let our County Commissioners look at this matter at once,' and see that good thor oughfares arccoustructed into every por tion of the county. Liberty, Mt. Pleasant, Avoca, the Weeping Water country, up the Platte, all need good wagon roads, and they need them now. .. It is the most important thing the County Comniis--sioners will have to attend to during the pkjnjvn by J rosjHsrity of the en- -tire county depend, in a great niwiir ujon the thoroughfares to the different sections of the country. We hope this matter will receive not only the careful consideration and action of the Couiuiis fioncrs, but that the jieople of the differ ent sections of country will a!.-o look after and agitate this question of roads until every locality is supplied. ri'RTUER REIA I IYE TO EI SOJi nrCHAXUPAUTY. Nlnlrmrnt lty m S.-tiw. On the Gth. of Septeuiljer last, Gen. Duncan's cavalry captured a squaw, who makes the following statement relative to the killing of white men on the Beaver : About the 20ja of August, 1S69, whn cherries were first rip?, a band of Indians, under, t Pawnee Killer' and "Whistler,Ncros d the Republican to move over toy.!eaver. Tlie crossing was made between Freinchnian's Fork and Red Willow river. Four young men were far in advance. One of them came back and reported the other three just killed by some white men, and that one white man had been killed by them. These white men were not soldiers. The squaws and children went at once into the bushes, aud the men all went on toward the Beaver, and did not couie back until dusk. They said they had killed five more white men and destroyed two wagons, aud that the rest of the white wen hid in some b'ashss. All the animals the white men had were taken, and their rations, of which they had -very few. The Indians said no more of this party. This was about the time Mr. Buck and party are supposed to have been in that reion, and there is little doubt they were the victims. The men who escaped death at that time were probably picked up by Indians afterward, as they would certainly have been heard from ere this had they escaped. LlrenteTas on PlMir AmiiMiurnt.

AX I5I)lASBAinAT)IEt)I('IXEB : bow V A iJidy WoTiaded ty an Arrs The following particulars of an Indian attack at Medicine Bow is from the Lara ma Sentinel: "Wd get the following particulars in Bow, from Dr. Foos, who came down from there this morning : The Indians attacked the section men first, and after a short skirmish they discovered Mr. Crawford, his wife and two boys, aged respectively fourteen and seventeen years out about a half mile from the house' looking for elfc. Thereupon the Indians left the section men an I went for Mr. C. and family. The Indians rode round the party, discharging arrows and revol ver shots at them for several minuites. but as Mr. C. had a gun and showed fight, thevsoon left and went to bis house, which w as unprotected. They took away and distroyod property to the value of som. five hundred dollars everything thj family had, leaving them without bedding, clothing or provisions. They emptied the feather leds and pack ed clothin? and provisions in the tieks. Mrs Crawford, a lady about fifty years old, received a flesh wound in the arm, after which fehc walked to Coma station, three miles this side of the fight. The Indians seemed to have no guns, but had several revolvers and plenty of bows and arrows. Mr. Crawford shot one of their ponies. They numbered some twenty-five in the baud.-' m migration. The extraordinary rush of immigrants to this country daring the three months ending June 30, of the present year, is worth noting. The total number was 1 65.9S7 being a very large increase over the same periods in X'revious years. The class of immigrant, to.i, is unusually pood. We find among them, for cram j!e, i'iO clergymen, (15 physicians, art ists, 5,559 mechanics, 333 bakers, 233 butchers, 74 seamstresses, 733 shoeutak crs, 766 tailois, 1.05S uiasous, 1,518 of miscellaneous trades, 560 clerks, 15.553 farmers, 4.225 laborers, 1.934 trader, S, 103 mariners, 5.799 servants and 763 of other specified occupations. Again, it is worthy of note that while Ireland sends 2S.13S, "Great Britain" (mean ing, we may suppose, England. Ireland and Wales.) sends 33,574. Germany. Austria and Prussia lead the list with 50,999. It is remarkable that the Scan dinavian element is still strong, as, in deed, it has now been for years, Norway, Sweden and Denmark being credited for the?c three month. with 20, 1 09. France on the other hand, sends the strikingly small number of 153, and Italy but 105. St. Joe Gazette. (rant on the Byron Scandal. Gen. Grant is said to have remarked.

He knows that he is liable to be surrounded at any moment with the destroying element, and lo.-:e not only his crops, farms and buildings, but not utjf'requcnily do we hoar of lives being lost, or persons crippled for life by these uncivilized practices. We hope that the good citizens of this, and other prairie States, will discontinue the practice of setting tire to tht prairies, and that every one who is guilty of the act be properly puni.-hed. We are aware that many land owners burn the prairies under the impression that it will increase the next season's crop of grass, and thus very frequently are the cause of doing much damage to their frien is and neighlors. frequently destroying stacks of grain, fences, barns and dv3l!iii&s. and fiequcntly the lives of nn man 1 rings. We are aware that iu many cases no harm js meant by burning the prairies, while in others it is the result of careless ness, or a wilful and malicious determin ation to destroy property. In some caes prairies are set on lire by teamsters, emigrants, etc. These persons .should b warned of thi evil jr;.-u its' of these "f.?JlliclS5, anT'if 'perSTsioJ" in', properly puniohed.

We hope that this practice will be entirely atiauaonijn in tno iuture. central vn ion Agriculturist. V lVbat ire to lMi;.t Fruit Trees. I am fast coming over to the opinion acd practice of suoh men as Phuenix, Qulnn, and other practical horticultur ists, that "the younger our trees are at the time of transplanting, the better their 'health and growth, aud the better will thoy. bear fruit. ' A great many think that a three or four year old i:te will bear sooner than one two years younger, and the nursery man eaa testify well to the demand for trees for "immediate fruiting ;" but I con.-.ider it a costly, unsatisfactory prac tice. Nearly every tree at that age looses ly necessity a large portion of its roots by transplanting from the nursery tam a neaithy,-progressive growth, the top must be shortened iu, in same pro portion. sometime quite seveie'y, and by the time this is completed, the tree is really little or no better than one a year or two younger. It happens, how ever, in the majority of cases, that the tipes are neither well planted nor well pruned, and the first jears growth after planting in its new home is weak, sickly, stunted, with the least possible prospect of fruit. To remedy all this. I say choose young trees, not over o;;e or two years old. They are in the long run the be.-t investment, and prove more remunera tive. They cot less at the nursery ; the freight is less than one-half; the trees lose few or no roots ; they are more easily set out, saving Ialor and expensive oper ation on the ground, and then they com mence continuous growth, whitli experi ences few or none of the drawbacks in .-i-dent to older trees, and at last award the owner with "luxuricnt crops of really choice fruit. It may seem hard to any man to wait five or six years before they can get re turns from his investments ; but he will lind at the end of that time that his one 3'ear old trees are better in every respect than his four year old fancies. This rule can be safely applied to all standard trees apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, etc. In no case would I rec onisiicnd trees over two j'ears of age. J lorticulturiyt.

If Mr. Bout-well had pre served, more money would have changed hands, more fortuues made or inarred, other brokers gone mal abscouded or committed suicide, the threat against Fisk might have been executed.
