EOT, The House of Representatives have passed bills appropriating $30,000 for a Penitentiary in Nebraska, and es tablishing three additional land districts in this Territory. Written roa th Bellevve Gaiett-.. , Mm. Editor : In connection with what has been remarked on the Science of Music in a former number of tho 'Ga zette," we would beg leave to insert a few ideas which may suggest themselves, and which may, perhaps, claim a passing glance by your many patrons; and First, let it be remembered that it is not to any peculiar or isolated class that the silvery voices, so enchanting, or the deep yet soul-stirring tones which proceed from a well-developed chest, are to be found. We may go to the house of the millionaire and enter his villa (which is surrounded with a wide-spreading lawn), there gilded tapestry adorn the walls and dazzle the eye, there viands of various kinds are spread out to allure the taste ; yes, nothing is wanting to add to the com fort and happiness of the inmates, and there the sweet strains of harmony are ever and anon echoing thro' gilded halls j or, we may enter the house of tho cot tager, which can boast of neatness, tho' not of luxuriance, ah! scarcely knowing from whence to expect the supplies for the next day, and here we nre greeted with varied melody by the daughter of "sweet sixteen," who is as blithesome as the lark. But notwithstanding there are many in every class of society whose voices would produce sweet harmony, yet, ; when 'tis desired to perform the nicities of the nicest strain in some difficult solo, we find a want of melody which is the result of a want of cultivation. .. . ' All the theory which may be imparted by the ablest and best informed instructor in Music, will fail to produce the desired end, if unaided by that most essential and most efficient helper, practice. " In Music, as much, or more so, than in any other science, do we find, the old adage verified, "practics makes perfect" therefore the consistency of making the Music Rook a daily partner for any one wishing to attain any degree of perfec tion, for we are well aware, perfection in any science or art is not our sphere while traveling these labyrintliic walks on Terra Firma. ; As soon might we expect in a day, a month, or a year, to scan the hill of sci ence, and then have the wreath of laurels to deck our brow, as to expect, by one herculean stroke, to go from a babe to a full-grown man in the pleasing art (Mu sic). . As regards the beauties of the science, they speak for themselves in tones not to be misunderstood or misconstrued by the most equivocal. . - "' We have confined our remarks to Vo cal Music, for in this we find every one endowed by the Great Giver with that most complicated, and yet most durable of all instruments ; we mean the humar .voice, with its symphoni6us sounds its sweet cadenza its barytone strain its deep basso tones its high clear melody, which, whether it enliven to rapture or calm to repose whether it be subdued or animated whether it issue from the deep Eipe of man or the softer breast of woman, as something more sublime, touching and varied than that produced by any instru ment which the ingenuity and mechanism of man has yet devised. Methinks no one should roisimprove ihis particular, given them especially when urged on by the numerous examples pre sented by nature iu its various phases. Listen to the notes of the lark as she warble forth her morning lay to the gentle murmurs of the rippling stream that to the sylvan nymphs doth nightly hant a nocturnal aong to the harmony of tho forest to the trumpet notes of the gale and to ' the tremendous tones of thunder as thev echo and re-echo alum; the black orchestra of heaven, ami then plead an excuse for nedectinar this most social science, which had its origin as early as the Creation, for 'twas there "the morning stars sang together and the sons ft God shouted for joy." Surelv, Vvas Hot intended tliut we bhould" remain in el- lcnce or rroti perform tho solo, and till nature t.i break forth in full chorus. No ! A- was remarked iu the former artUe, every otic- ban it within their power to nt tain sun degree of prnnYincy in the sci ence, and here, we are alike called on to contribute our mito to the promoting of u cause, tho reward of which are as am ple a the demands made upon u. Who among us would In found want ing, or not having their tnlnt improved, if tailed to reckoning T And what would be the excuse ? It could not be any other than negligence. Look well U foro you leap. " KINO I, A. 1'i.atemi Horn, Jan. iEhl, 1H17. ;ovi:Hoirs twrii, Mt:ma: DI'.LIVrREn TO THE THIRD HOUSE OF THE Territory of Nebraska, Jan. 0, 1857. r'r.i.Low Sijc attfhs or mi: Third IIoise : Another year has passed. Three hun dred and sixty-five days, with their hours of toil and moments of ploasue, have come aud guue since I last had the pleasure of addressing tho assembled wisdom of the Territory. In you, gentlemen, I recog nize the utile and ornate representatives of an enlightened and cde.liaU.-d constitu ency. Your faces beaming with the trim soendant radiance of genius and intellect, assure me that from the legislative branch of tho government of the Territory, the Executive limy expect uid uud assistance of the most valuable kind. Since we last met here together, the royal purity of our great Democratic party has expanded and spread itself, in the triumph of principles over factions, until to-day there remains not a single trace of black and hideous fanaticism to mar the harmony and prosperity of tho Union. Tho commercial effects of - Democratic triumphs is always indicated by a rise in the price of com whiskey, plug tobacco, flannel shirts brcgan boots and bibles, . No citizen of Nebraska can cast bis op tical luminaries over the plains and prai ries of our beautiful territory, without tho involuntary exclamation, ' Lots is riz,' escaping from his lungs, with the force and sprightliuess of a gopher from his hole or a buck from the thicket. r A comparison between Kansas and Nebraska, shows the latter Territory in a most conspicuous and favorable light. In dustry and thrift, prosperity an I wealth, abound here ; while there, poverty and sloth, crime and misery, ure gathered around the hearth of the squatter, and stalking, gaunt, haggard and terrible, over her praries. And now, though my natural modesty would forbid it, and my retiring disposition shrink from it, I am, by the exigencies and emergencies of tho occasion com pelled to lay before you the true cause of this glorious contrast, this political antithe sis, lhe true cause, pentlemen. is found in the oflicial capacities of the men whom Pierce and Providence have ordained to be your executive and judicial directors. Your Governor dislikes to intrude his acts and character upon your lime and patience yet he must, iu justice to himself, say, that he has performed his duties with an en ergy and impartiality, and n just apprecia tion of right, which iu oldou times would lave immortalized a sovereign, or canon ized a saint. As in building a con.v house, it is ne cessary to lay the foundation m hard cement, and put tin pans on tho tons of corners to keep out marauding vermin such as rats, gophers, and 4izards ; so in rearing your laws, and founding the fu ture government of a great State, it will be necessary to lay your law in the hard cement of brains and moral motives, in order that thoso human rats land-sharks, loafers, horse thieves and politicians may not crawl over into our Territory aud rob our people. And now, I would, having tlalwratcd your morals, recommend to you for vour Careful consideration a Revenue Law. In carrying the government through all its labyrinthine windings and diabolically circuitous ramifications, I have often found myself cramped and disabled pecuniarily, by a negation of funds in the Treasury. At times, even, to such an pxtcnt has it been depleted, that I have for days and days refrained from smoking segars, and also from the use of all beverages ranging higher' than five cents per glass. I do not refer to my self -denial egotistically, but solemnly and mournfully, sorrowing at the drinks which I found not when I wasathirst. And I have no hesitancy in rocommeuding to you that a tax be levied of one mill on each drink taken in the Territory at a public bar By a careful calculation, based upon my own experience and observation, and that of the Secretary, I have ascertained that a tax of this kind will provide a revenue of seven hundred dollars, six cents and two mills per day, including Sundays. This law, too, while it would give aldermanic proportions 'm the Territorial pure, and dignity to your Executive, would also induce temperance, virtue and happiness throughout the land. It is therefore earnestly recommended to your candid and unbiassed deliberations. A nl now I come to consider the use importance, and benificence of a well regulated system of schools. , By a care ful perusal of the Police Gazette, I have found, that, ten out of every eleven for geries, which recently have startled the bulls and bears of Wall street from their golden slumbers, were committed by men who could ueither read nor write. I have further ascertained that horse thieves are seldom able to read the rewards which are offered for ihtm, and thus are igno. rant i uie esteem ami bvru estimation m which they urn held by the public. I would then recommend a memorial to Gov. Slu'le, of Vermont, for an iinmediatt) ship ment to Nebraska 'f fifteen, hundred school ma'am i, net uink f sixteen, nor mvr twenty years of nge. Such a measure would not only greatly improve, but by proper culture, t-n-atly incn use tho rising generation. A memorial I ) General Government upon this topic is also ug gested. And now I come to speak of the public lands. I therefore commend to you the proposition, that you memorialize Comrress to grant each actual settler n section of (510 acres, together with the right to occu py and improve the remainder of the township in which he lives. 1 would do this from tho fact that titles nre very in secure and uncertain. In short, they nre s much so as to remind me of the early limes of my native State, where there were years and years that titles were so conflicting that it was utterly impossible to dL-iinguish the most common citizen from a major, a colonel, or a general ; a time whic h I remember wilh horror, and which I fear is fast finding n prototype in Ne braska. In this connection I rccommund that two new land offices be established- one north and one south of the Platte river and as 1 have by my suavity of mnnuers, pleasing address, and olficml influence, secured au equal number of lots in every point in the Territory, it is immaterial to me where their location may be made. Though I have no doubt that our delegate iu Congress will endeavor to so arrange matters as to benefit his friends and pun ish his enemies, by the determination of the locations ; and would suggest that those who vote for his becoming Public Printer, will undoubtedly be clas.ed under the head of endearing and priceless friendship. . Leaving the consideration of tho Public Lands, we aro forced to observe tho want of a Surveyor-General in thpJMilitia Sys tem of our Territory. Our Major and Urigadier-Genoruls, and the members of their stall, are well enough in their places; but, having become distended with the dignity of their positions so as to occupy a great share of the public domain in their daily walk, a Surveyor-General, to mark out the land necessary for their occupation is an innespensable necessity. One who would as soon eat the ice after the liquor has frozen, as to imbibe it in a liquid slate would be preferred in this section of country. The Capitol IsniMing, during the past year, has progressed upward at an average speed of one inch per day, and at a cost of SS7.15 per inch, until the appropria tion made by Congress, has all been gen erously disbursed, uccording to previous arrangement, mining the citizens of Oma hn City and Council Mulls. On this hap py result, I congratulate them, and, also, myself; feeling confident that I have thus merited their approval and support, and. also, that I have received it, judging from various tokens of respect, such as corner lots and scrip. , , And now, judging from surrounding circumstances, I am inclined to the belief that a Penitentiary is greatly needed by most of our citizens, but especially those of Ut'lleyuo and Florence. I would, there fore, suggest that a memorial to Congress for the necessary appropriation, bo im mediately made. Such a step, gentle men, may Rtcuro to some of you a home in your declining years. . ' Looking around in wo perceive, from the abundance of game deer, elk, poker, bluff, bragg, buffalo aud old sledge that a zoological survey of tho Territory is de manded. We therefore suggest the pro priety of taking measures to secure it. I come now to consider the late brutal and savage attack of the Pawnees upon the peaceful inhabitants of our inland set tlements. ' My heart is filled with grief, my soul sickens, when I contemplato the ravages of these inhuman monsters T their attack upon the gallant militia of the Territory their onslaught upon the offi cers, and the deadly fire they poured upon their men. Hut this, together with the several hundred dollars which have es caped from my own pockets to pay their surgeons and their rations, render the theme painful and unpleasant ; language fails of the expressiveness which Jt de mands, and mournfully suggesting that the several hundred would be very thank fully received from any source whatever, I forbear further remarks upon this lachry mose topic. . . Our Territorial Library, consisting of several copies of Todd on Charity, Al len's Alarm, Fletcher's Christian Perfec tion, and Comb ou tho Head, is in an ex cellent state of preservation owing prob ably to the fact hat they are seldom read. llavjug thus reviewed our necessities and our present condition, I cannot for bear noticing the appreciation of property in Omaha city, where, within six months, lots have risen from $200 to 83000; which fad I hereby send out to the world in a pamphlet form, at thu expense of our common Uncle Samuel a method of advertising, the shrewdness and sagacity of which, the dullest must perceive and admire. ... , And now, Gentlemen, this may per haps be the last time that I shall have lhe pleasure of meeting you in an official ca pacity : the thought weighs me down with inexpressibly grief. However, I hope to couiitiuo in my position as Governor for years to come. Hut in order that my hopes may not prove futile, nor be dissi pated in misfortune, I would meekly sug gest the propriety of your Hon. Body's memorializing the President Elect to con tintio me in office. Such a step taken by you at nn early lime in your deliberation, may not retard tho Executive approval, nor withhold tha Executive autograph from certaia bills and charters, which 1 know very well many of you are expect ing tu heroine lawj, Trusting that the Executive and the Seeri t.iry may rule over and direct your j.e'M. laiive aa.oii wan me .saute uiuu care aud uffeuionate solicitude, which have 1 I .1 ! 1 i riiar.ii len.eti incut in lonner wars, uiw thul they may mako you and your works redound to their glory aud renown for ever and forever, and ao guido your de liberations as to promote tho general weal, welfare, tranquility, serenity, peace and prosperity of our infant Territory, is your anxious Executive's anxious and aolirilu dinotis aspiration and desire.
