Persons resident in this Territory, coming from various
portions of the States, often suggest to us the uames of
persons inthefr old neiirhborbood. who would doubtless
become subscribers if tbey could see a copy of tbe "Ad

receiving, will consider it a solicitation to become a regu

make up a club, can retain the usual per cent for their

much the largest circulation of any paper

other Eastern markets where Nebraska
merchants purchase, will find no better

As wo notified last; week our paper
will suspend for the space of two wc?ks.
The suspension, however, will work no
loss to the readers of the Advertiser,
as we will, make up the complete vol
ume of 52 papers. We regret having
to suspend publication even for so short
& time, but we are compelled to do so
in order to prepare lor cola . weatner,
and we find it more convenient to do
bo' now than after awhile. If any
matter of unusual importance should
transpire during suspension wo. will
advise our readers through an extra. -
'' CTTB DELEGATE
We promised last week, and really de
signed writing a leader this week, " Re
flections upon the Elective Franchise;"
but truly our engagements are so very
pressing, that we cannot find time to do
the subject justice. We are confident
our readers are not aware of the amount
of ; physical and , mental labor together,
devolving upon us. We write on an av
erage," fifty letters per week in answer to
enquiries as to the "present condition
and fature.: prospects of Brownville and
Nemaha county' personally superintend
th$ mechanical department of our estab
lishment ; which is of itself sufficient to
employ the time of one man edit the
Advertiser, eve, and when we call atten
tion to the amount of original matter in
comparison with most western papers, we
are sure all will acknowledge, to per
form that duty alone, requires no small
amount of labor. As to its quality, that
we leave to our readers. . At all events!
it costs us much time, study and labor.
Few, without the experience, can form
any Idea of the amount of labor requisite
to conduct a public journal. We know
no resting point. Since our. residence in
Nsbraska, we have not : known when
night, or Sabbath came t they with " week
day ." are alike to us we labor through
all ;' and for what? To advance the in
terests and build . up our city, county and
Territory. But we have digressed.
We have not the official returns, but all
concede that Judge Fencer FERcrsoN,
who for two years past, has faithfully aad
honorably discharged the duties of Chief
Justice of Nebraska, is our Delegate elect
to the next Congress. . Of him we need
not speak, as we have before done so; and
he is well known throughout the Territory
as a man coming up squarely to the Jeffer
. scnian standard honest and capable,"
although not the man we supported, we
recognize in him all that we could desire
as a citizen, and well wisher of our terito-ry.-
We have every confidence that he
will faithfully and impartially represent
us in the National Legislature. He will
take with him into its halls position and
acquaintance, and consequently influence.
. Aa a journalist we hereby pledge him
our fullest assistance to render him useful
to the"squaiters or" -Nebraska. We op
posed not the man, in' the -campaign just
closed, but the manner, time and motives
which brought him before the public. It
was a complimentary remark, however,
we heard made more than ence in regard to
the Judge one that he should and no
doubt does feel proud of that " he is too
honest."" ; : . '
As we frankly acknowledged two weeks
ago in our leader, our'principal object was
to defeat Mr. Chapman ; not however, as
we then also stated, prompted by any
spirit of revenge or ill feeling toward that
gentleman; but simply from pure and
honest convictions that in so doing we
were working for the general interests of
Nebraska. Feeling as we then expressed,
ourself that he was not a resident was
net of us, and in his acts and accomplish
ments had, plainly to be seen, been sec
tional It is somewhat gratifying to us to
know that our position has been that of
the people they have endorsed it. As to
Mr. Chapman's qualifications or abilities,
necessary to fill the position of Delegate,
we never for a moment entertained
We supported -.the man cf our choice,
r r-cne cuVnlaii honeit lncuvef, and
labored faithfully to secure his election.
Others did the same towards the man of
their choice; for which none can complain
or find fault. It is not onlyour pleasure,
but a duty to extend this-right to those
differing from us, and we only ask ana
claim the same at th;ir hands. To per
sonally abuse men b ecause ;'of difference
of opinion is wrong,' and results in no good.
Mr. Chapman or his friends here or else
where, cannot consistently, charge us with
other than pursuing an honorable and gen
tlemanly course toward him, or his sup
porters. We met him and his acts upon
their therm. - i. .
Running the risk of being charged with
falling in with the convention system, be
cause of the success of its candidate on the
present occasion, we say here and now, and
want it distinctly understood that hereafter
we enter into no campaign involving the
Territory or state, as it may be, in any
other manner than by regular old fashion
ed party nomination in some way. It is
well known by many; even the candidates
at this election,' that we advocated such a
course for the past election, but found it
to meet with little! favor; We ; have
heretofore, until the opening hi this cam
paign', been opposed to dividing up on party
issues rur wo are -Tony ; OTiiDtra, n..d,
we think all are,, that less injury would
arise from such a course, than upon local
issues. This thing of battling against men
and localities, which really mean nothing,
when principles and policy are lost sight
of , we are unwilling' to admit to be the
true course to pursue in order to secure
real and general interests. I We .believe
too, that party lines and issues-except in
minor matters would have a' very great
tendency in this Territory to .unite local
feuds, jealousies and isms which threaten,
if not checked, to result in great and last
ing injury to; Nebraska. . When political
battles are fought, men know. who, where,
when, and for what they are fighting, and
when the battle is . over, all are friends
asram. Mien cannot oe said ;o; contests
partaking solely ot local or sectional feel-
As to Nemaha county, taking the vote
as a basis for conclusion, we have not ob
tained the man of our choice as Delegate
to Congress. Yet we can not do other
wise than acknowledge that a good man
is elected; one we have every reason to
believe" will look after our! interests in
common with other counties. " Let us
therefore' be content yea satisfied and
as to any personal matters or feelings that
may have arisen, let them all be forgot
ten, and burried beyond the possibility of a
resurection. This is our feeling desire
and determination ; and we have as much
cause, more perhaps, to feel sore, and
treasure up for a future day, than any cne
else. We have a general and common
interest at etakc, duty to perform, and
end to accomplish. -AH shoulders to the

j SOUTHERN 2TOHASKA.
Don't fail reader in the Stales, and else
where, desiring information in regard to Ne
braska, the excellent article on the first page
of to-days "Advertiser" "Kansas and Nebras
ka," by C. W. Giddixos. Mr. Giddings has
spent a great deal of time in looking all through
both Territories with a view of locating ex
tensive companies from the States. , What he
writes he knows from personal knowledge; no
hearsay about it. Having come to tha conclu
sion that southern Nebraska was best calcu
lated to Bustain a heavy population he has
been the past year laboriug as Superintendent
of the Nebraska . Settlement Company, in
sendirjg out quite a number of. companies from
Pennsylvania, 2ew York, and Ohio, who have
settled in and around this City, Table. Rock
Nemaha city, Pawnee city, Glen Rock, Rulo,
and other points. Preparations are being made
for a still larger emigration next Spring.
ST. EEEDSICK.
. This ia the name of a town laid off this
Spring in this county, by an enterprising com
pany of Trotcstant Germans from "Wisconsin.
The town is on Big Muddy,' township 5j range
13, precisely dne West, 18 miles from Brown
ville; directly on the road to Ft. Kearney. The
placd now contains 40 families,' one store, one
waggon maker, . one blacksmith, and a church
and school house; under, way, to be completed
this season.' This is the way to drive things
"on a swell." We have conversed with' a
number of men from this new town recently
who inform us they do their principal trading
at Nebraska City, a distance of fivo miles
farther than to Brownville! Reason, there is
a good road opened to the formcrplace. There
being no bridge across the Little Nemaha and
one or two smaller streams on tha route be
tween this Citr and their town and settlement
it is impossible to pass to and fro with loaded
teams. Need we say another word.
If the bridge already commenced across the
Nemaha was completed, anc! fifty doUar$ spent
in digging down the banks and bridging the
smaller streams, an excellent road - would ba
opened from St. Fredrick to Brownville. '
By the way what has become of, tha5 "Ne
maha Bridge." Away last summer the requi
site subscription was received to build it, and
it should have been completed long ago. Why
Las it not been done?. Don't all speak atonce.

have accordingly contracted for the

before the close of the present sea
son. Mr. Finney left on Saturday
for Wellsville, Ohio, where the boat is
being -built,'' to ;give the work hia per-
sonal attention, and hasten it along as
speedily as possible. .Our , business
men, together with others of our. citi

that Judge Ferguson's majority is a'-
bout 175 votes. . Also that Chapman
intends contesting the scat 'on ' tne
ground of some little informality in
conducting the election at some pre
cinct or other, Florence, we believe.
We think Chapman when fairly beaten
by votes, will do himself full as' much
credit to allow the matter to 'resVas
to contest. ; We happen to know' of a
precinct, not a thousand tniles off, val
uable to Mr C, which might not stand
investigation, as to formality.' 1 ' ; '
' We suppose however, Chapman - has
great hope -of success in a contest,
owing to his personal and intimate
acquaintance with Jim., 'Lew., Steve;
and others at Washington, who say I
must be returned- the interests of Nc
biasko: demand it.' ' '' ' 1 : ;- ;

IT DIDN'T HUST ANY ONE.
Public men; especially Editors, out
West, have to keep an eye out, that
they 'do nbtget their ''scalp' taken off
or bio wed up by some "infernal ma
chine" or other. The bump of caution
has therefore become largely developed
on this species of tho genus homo. On
Saturday last, per Steamer Wattosa,
we received a small Box directed to
" The Editor, of the Advertiser, Brown

Goodness ! Gracious ! ! - thought we,
some of our'pblitical enemies are un
willing we should go the usually travel
ed route up Salt River, but are deter
mined to "blow us up" there by means
of air "infernal machine." ,; We caii
tiously forced off the lid all the while
"feelin' kinder all over in spots." All
fears in a moment vanished, when bur
eyes beheld a bountiful supply of such
as we delight to feed upon. Wc couldn't
help exclaiming in the language of one
of -old "Suffer' such to come, unto us
very frequently. "Fine Fresh Cove
Oysters, Sardines, a Box of the finest
Havana Segars we have "puffed" for
many a day, and a supply of "old
Scotch ale" to wash down with." Was'nt
that a bold act on the part of some
body! We traced the perpetrator out
and - found him to be J. B. Jennings,

We call the attention o.f our saloons,
and those elsewhere within hearing,
to the extra quality of the oysters and

be ordered' "for this market.'.' '

" In the left foreground of the first pic
ture of the series Childhood we have
a deep, dark cavern, from out of which
bursts into the- light of "early morning, a
bright, smooth stream. . Upon this! as it
leaves the cave, there floats a tiny boat,
laden . with buds and flowers, sporting
among whose beautiful and delicate petals
sits a laughing infant, the voyager whose
experiences have just begun. An ahgel
steers the boat. The stream is narrow.
The banks are clothed wfth gorgeous and
luxuriant vegetation. ''All ris suffused by
the rosy light of dawn. - The scene admi
rably expresses in every feature the emo
tions of joyfulness and glad surprise.
In Youth -the second picture the
stream is wider, and flows oh with steadier
force. Stately trees stand upon its bor
ders, and hills and mountains confine its
current. The voyager is a youth, who
with his own hand grasps the helm, and
having his eye eagerly fixed upon a castle
towering amid the clouds, sweeping on in
the unflinching confidence of his years.
As he is borne away, the guardian angel
looks after him from the shore, with a
tender and anxious eye, and seems in the
act of committing the impetuous navigator
to the care of One who alone can succor
and save. -
The third picture Manhood pre
sents us with a terrific scene. The
stream is now a torrent, speeding on' with
resistless energy. Its course laying
among rocks , and shattered, half-sunken
tree-wrecks, leads swiftly downward and
outward to the wide ocean, faintly seen
in the, far distance. The voyager, now a
man of middle age stands erect, with
clasped hands, as if conscious that there
is no longer hope from the exercise of
either his power ; or skill. The helm is
gone he can .only lopk to heaven. The
guardian spirit calmly yet tenderly watch
es from the clouds the destiny of the voy
ager. : - : '
In Oi.d Age the fourth of the series
heavy clouds hang over a silent, dreary
ocean. The boat, by this time well-nigh
broken up by storms' is now directed to
its haven by the guardian angel; while
the old man, looking . upward in the di
rection indicated by the spirit, at length
beholds that longsought vision of splen
dorthe gates , and j battlements, the
towers and radiant porticos of the celestial
City. To him the voyage is ended. The
haven-where he would be, is now happily
attained." 1 ., ;
