We learn from Frank M. Wolcotf, Esq., that the fires nave swept over a large portion of the south-west part of Cass county, but that little dannge was done except to destroy the young timber.

Prof. d'Ailemand has done wisely in securing him. He will commence his labors in a- short tiui3, due notice of which will be given through the columns of the Herald. Ie Views of Co'fnx. Vice President Colfax has recently given, in the Independent, his views of the policy that should be adopted in the future by the Republican party. He wants the army reduced, by the present gradual process, to a peace basis, ami anticipates that by next summer Congress will have reduced the national expenditure below $270,Oi)l,(X0, per annum. lie is oppo-ed to all lurtner subsidies, of any kind, and to all rail road grants. He ad vocatcs entire am nesty of the South, and a reform of the civil service, including, in the details of that reformation the nomination and se lection of Postmasters by the people. 1 1 -j suggests, as is the true financial poli cy of the party, the redaction of taxa tion to the extent of something like $80,000,000 per year this to bo effected by reducing or removing the duties on tea and coffee, the o r man's necessa ries, the abolition of the income tak, and the taxes affecting home manufactures. These views, coming from the source they do, will have much to do with shaping the course of the Republican party in the future. The fact that Vice President Colfax is considered one o the best statesmen of the age, and one whom his political opponents as well as his political friends credit with beinjr above suspicion of political chieaney, and being, al.-o, a man who never seeks office but rather evades it; these facts bein considered will give his opinions very great weight with the people, not only of his own party, but of thfcse even who disagree with him. Our Omaha namesake quotes our re marks wherein we asserted that Dr. Mil ler was doing a great wrong to the peo ple ho pretends to defend, on the Mor inon que-tion, and adds. "If we could be convinced that we were doing either a gieat, small, or any wrong at all, in this matter, our course would be as quickly change I as it is now firmly maintained. We are light, aud, beinsr right, we sl a'l Maud by a po.-iiion which is ahke just uul expedient. "What we have said we r'lat, the conviction and execution of Brigham Younsr for the crime of murder by ju ries packed with ipo-tj!c Mormons, up on the teMimony of such an outlaw us Hickman, will involve imminent danger of the destruction of great interests in Utah. 'J hose who have read the his tory of Nauvoo und the Mormon exodus or that day need not t e tol l of what mad religious lunatics will do when driven to desperation by their persecutors." Ah. yes; "conviction and EXECL TION of Rrigham Young for tho crime of murder," and "imlnent danger of the distru.tion of great interests," are a vast deal different from the point upon which we criticised the Herald. In the article upon which we criticised it, the assertion was made that "tckenever this man shall ba imprisoned as an ordinary prisoner, in such way as shall deprive him of his jirrxonal liberty, the country may look out for blood and ruin from one end to the other of Salt Lake Val ley." There is a vast difference between the two scenes pictured by the Herald, and we most sincerely think that Dr. Miiler is doing the Mormon people a very great wrong in inciting them to riot and bloodshed because of the probable imprisonment of Brigham Young. There is an evident coming down on the part of the Herald, when it changes off from a cry for blood for im prisonment only, to that of 'con viction and execution" of Brother Bii ham But what will our Mormon friends think of tho man who has been. next, perhaps to Brother Brigham, their great champion and dcl'euder, when he calls them: mad reunion Janatics as he does in the above quotation. Dr., we implore y u not to forsake these people, and brand them with such ignominious terms, after having incited them to re sist the legal authorities of the govern ment, aud said to them and all the world that "neither (Jen. Grant nor any other General backed by all the troops" could prevent them from causing a reign of blood and terror. This is another great wrong. Dr. The Rev. Granville Moody, of Cincin nati, views the recent Chicago calamity as aretubutive judgement on a city which has shown such a devotion in its warship of the go' den calf." Now, perhaps, the Rev. Moody will be so good as to tell the people of Wis consin, why bo many of their acres. where there were no cities, were swept over by fire, asd what particular calf they had worshiped. We fail to com prehend the doctrine of everlasting ju-t ice which burns up innocent babes and pure minded females as a punishment for the sins of somo worshipers of the -Golden Calf."

"Deluded wretches" may be a very fine epithet to apply to the Mormon people who number one hundred thou sand souls. Omaha Herald. The Hrrahl would indicate, by the above, that the "delusive" part of polyc amy vanishes jut in proportion to the number that practice it. If they only numbered a few hundreds the Herald would probably not object to their being termed "deluded wretches:" but when they number "one hundred thou-and souls" tht-re may bo a financial object in championing their cause, aud hence they are not "deluded." The Mormon religion is the only kind that the Omaha Herald ever found that just suited its ideas. "Polygamy is its "strongest hold ' Methodists, Presbyt erians, Baptists, Congregationalists, Lu therans, Episcopals, and all others must stand aile and uncover their l eads be fore the great saving principle of Polyg amy, else the Herald will be displeased.

He tells us that lie raised a pumpkin which weighed 10G pounds, and that he has squashes and turnips to correspond.

Judge Lake decided at the recent term of District court in Lancaster county, that on an agreement purporting to be a promissory note by which one party, as a maker or ttidorscr, promises to pay a given amount at a ceitiin date, with interest, and on a fiiluro to pay at that date, to pny an additional specified sum as attorney's fee, orexpenses of col lection, or as a penalty for non payment, only the actual consideration of smh note can be collected that the payee in such an agreement cannot secure to him self more than the actual amount of the loan or other debt, and legal iuterest. by denominating the excess attorney's fees, liquidated damages, or a peuulty for a failure to pay when the same by its terms becomes due.

And yet, in spite of this glut in the market, the price, instead of going down, has gone up. and you cannot buy a gallon of brandy to-day without paying considerably more for it than you did a year ago. This is a commercial mystery, but the fact exists. Dobbs thirks that, instead of giving credit to whom credit is due, the cash had better l-een paid. FKOH T H E OA I'lTAt. Lincoln, Oct 2, 171. Dear Herald: Afcer a few days travel over a portion ot tne i?tate, a- briefsojurn in Saline county, near the Kan-as line, I have finally "brought up" at Lincoln, the noble Capital of Nebras ka. A description of my travels was iven in two letters some tiuia since. I find Sa!i:io county to be very thickly J settled, and one of the best counties in 1 tho State. Its county-seat is Pleasant Hill, between Tuikey and Spring creeks, and near the B. & M. railroad. You may judge the location of the place from the name of the town pleasant and at tractive. It hits about two hundred people, is well supplied with stores, ho tels, manufacturing establishments, doc tors, lawyers and preachers, nnd-so-forth. The "limbs of the law" are Morse & Grimes, Hastings &, MoGintie, Bron, Slei'j & Ferrec; (don't grin, it's so; your humble correspondent has real ly forsaken the crooked paths cf boister ousiiei's and gone into the straight path of quietude by connecting himself with a legal firm.) Now you may think this is a little 7'-i-h; but more about Geo. Fiancia Train in the conclusion of my letter. Beside-, Pleasant Hill, Saline county has the important towns of Swan City, Dorchester and Crete. The form er place was formerly the county-seat, and is in the south-eastern corner of the county, surrouuded by a rich region of country. The second I have spoken of heretofore. Th-3 latter, Crete, is twenty miles west from Lincoln, on Blue river, as well as on the B. Si M. road and at tho terminus ol the U. iV . . running between Crete and Beatrice, which road is already nearly completed It is boom ing ahead with all the vim and enterprise possible. It is destined to be a rousing place before many centuries pass by It is the home of "The Ancient" and many other Plattsmouth folks; and has as many saloons as Lincoln has boarding houses. Ithastivo Post o(li.-c; did you ever hear tell of a town before hav ing two Post offices? (one of them, how ever, is the Saline County Post, or, in other words, the Crete Lonj P. Inn -r. ) There neve r was a child so good but that sometimes it needs reproving; and there never was a railroad man so faith ful and obliging but that I13 sometimes be, omes derelict and saucy. This was the case with one of the conductors (who.-e nam j has slipped my memory) on tho B. & M., recently. Especially the derelict part of it. At Dorchester, where the train had Uid over at night, he moved his train out, eastward, in tho morning, without giving tha required "all aboard,".' and left the mail agent and some pas:e;:gers behind o catch the train as best they cvuM. Your humble correspondent was one of the "lefc-be-hinds." (Now you may think it made me n. ad is why I write thus'y. O no, I was not mad.) With tho ni l of a wagon, a hand car, and the telegraph, we reach the train :it Crete without detaining it more than an hour or r.u hour and a half. Just imiue a fellow "tuning" away on a hand car with a ticket in his pocket for Lincoln, bought at the ticket otSce at l..rche.-ter just a while previ ous, and you have it, exactly. It's all right now; I am ;-ti'.I not mad. Lincoln is red hot (the prairie fires which have been ragifg so fearfully around here for some days past, make her so. ) More of this city in the future. Court is in session here now. District Attorney Cowin informs me that the session is one of interest, and the docket full. The five Messrs. Lo's, on trial for murder in this State, were acquitted for lack of testimony against them. ' They thanked tha Court with a b g grunt, and then departed from their lodging p'a?ts fin the wide plains. The history of this murder has been fully chronicled by tha press of the State, so I will not burden your columns with a reiteration of tho same. The next ca-e of importance is the J. St'd ii? Morton cise. I op ne Morton will have a "salty" time of if before the thing is decided. Th readers of the press of the State are, also, famil iar with t)ni case, especially the readers of the Herald. Geo. Francis Train. A lot of enzy people went to hear thtscr.izy man speak at the Capitol last ThursJay evening. (The people were crazy to get to hear him.) This singular and world-renowned man spoke over two hours on (not the impeachment of Grr,t:t, etc., etc., as was announced on his bills, but) Geo. Fran cis Train. lie gave his reasons for an nouncing himself as President a follow: "There never has been a man nominated for the Presidency but that emphatically said he did not want the ofdee. I want it. All in favor say ay.!" He g-- his rea-ons why he was called crazy. He s:.iJ that ''every man who has, as yet, filled the Presidential chair has been a drunkard, an inveterate smoker, or an immoral man in some way. I am a tem perate man, have never drunk a drop tf whisky or chewed a bit of tobacco iu my life. Hive never told a lie, and am strictly moral every way. This is why I am call d crazy." So far as I am con cerned, I do ifot deem Train a crazy man only in one thin?. Ha says that the people that are going to elect him Pre-i-dent of America are paying him $30,000 a year f t lectuiiug. As the President's salary is only $25,000 ayejr, I think be is crazy for giving up the lecture field for the Pre-idency. He gave some amusing accounts of his prison life in this and foreign countries, struck light and left (like a blind snake on politics, and then wound up by exhorting the people to be sure and remember '"72." The following lines, which were suggest ed to my mind on hearing him, partially express my views of the man: O poor Geo. Francis Train!" When will it bo again The world will have another such a maD; Thou art no fool; yet strange Thoughts often deemed derange Ilave long and wildly through thy crani um ran.
