Omaha, JV. T. Dec. 19, '57 Since my last several important mat ters have been under consideration in the Council; Lut not yet finally disposed of, The Homestead Bill, introduced by Mr. SafTord from Otoe, was under discussion in Committee of the hole, near two .days. After being amended in several rarticulars, was referred to a Select Committee of three, of which Mr. Saffl is chairman. There was not much dif ference of opinion as to how much real a homestead. The Bill now stands al lowing 1G0 acres in the country, or half an acre in any town or city with the im provements thereon, in both cases. Quite an animated discussion arose as to wheth er any limit in valuation should be placed upon the homestead, and if so, what that amount should be ; and also whether the benefits of such act should extend to un married men over the age of 21 years. The latter is a new feature, and' most certainly unprecedented, and yet under the circumstances surrounding us, and the objects designed in part to be accom plished by this act, we see no great im . propriety in including that somewhat nu merous and unfortunate portion of our citizens, "old bachelors," in the list of those entitled to the benefits of the Homestead provisions. As to limiting the value of the homestead, we are op posed. Here we may be met with the argument, "unprecedented." Grant it Is not Nebraska as competent to establish a precedent in this, as well as other mat- . so. Again it is difficult to say what that limit should be in a new country like ours, with everything comparatively unsettled. A Resolution has passed the Council, and we believe in the House also, that they will hereafter entertain no business, I'll j . 1 1 i . 1 .1 . or Dins, ior special legislation, wnere tne benefits sought can be secured under general acts already in cxisterp for such purposes. This is most certainly a correct position. Heretofore the Greater portion of the time allotted for the sitting of the Legislature has been consumed in passing special or local bills about which the members knew very little if anything, Such matters should be as they princi pally all are in the hands of the county authorities. A Resolution endorsing Judsre Fenru son as the Delegate from this Territory, passed the. Council by a vote of 8 to 5 It is now in the House where it will meet with lively opposition, but will undoubt edly pass by a handsome majority. A bill providing for the. license and regulation of Spirituous Liquors is now not a dissenting voice in this body as to the propriety and even necessity of pass ing some kind of license law. There may be, undoubtedly will, arise differences of opinion upon the details of a bill. The . maximum and minimum license fee has been agreed upon, viz: 8o0 and $500 A license bill will nass the Council and we feel quite confident, the House also. A T- 1 1 1 j 1 . A. urn providing lor tne encourajre- In the House but one Bill of a general nature has passed, viz: Relating to Me chanics' Liens. A Memorial asking the establishment cf a new Surveyor's Dis trict and the office of Surveyor General has also passed. The greater part of the past week has been spent i.i discussing the "Ferguson's Resolutions," and deci ding the contested seat between Messrs. Sullivan and Perkins of: Washington county, which was5 decided late last eve ning in favor of Mr. Perkins. The con test was somewhat exciting on both sides. The House is now at work with" the Fer guson resolutions, which passed on Men- day, but now is under reconsideration. The vote stood 21 to 12. In the Ccyr.nl, the Homestead Bill, License Bill, Bill for the encouragement of the growth of Hedge Fences, Bill em powering the city authorities of Brown- ille to sell real estate, a Bill to amend the charter of Nemaha City have passed. The School Bill has been made the special .order of the day for Monday next. The Territorial Agricultural Bill is yet in the hands of the Committee; and Prin ter, and will come up perhaps this week. Bills have been introduced granting ferry charters at San Francisco, and San Deroin, and also to incorporate the town of Rochester, in Nemaha county. (Query: Where is Rochester?) A Bill has been introduced creating a new election district out of the northern portion of Douglas county. This will re- A - - suit in something of a struggle bordering on a "Capitol fight." Several plans are on foot to take a slice off Nemaha county to aid in making a new county on the Half Breed Land. None as yet has been introduced. One is to make a new county of the Half Breed as its lines now stand ; another is to steal a slice from Nemaha and another from Richardson and make a new county thus. Both are so perfectly outrageous that we have no idea they can ever be forced through the Legislature. New Enterprise, Much has been said in regard to stimu lating the interior of our country in order to develope its resources, and we are glad to chronicle an important measure now in movement, which will undoubtedly have that tendency. All know the river towns, and that portion of any country bordering on the river, receive' a pro gressive impulse from passing trade which is denied to less favored quarters lying in the interior, and that an artificial stimulus is necessary to produce like results in the back part of the country. Such a desira tum is about to be supplied in our county, and we look for the most gigantic results. We allude to the ship canal from Glen Rock to this place and thence to Nemaha City, petitions for which have been in active circulation for some time past. This matter has heretofore been unac countably overlooked by our enterprising people and the only matter of astonishment is that it never before forced itself upon their notice. However, to see, to deter mine, to accomplish, is all one with us. and no sooner was the matter suggested that plenty men with capital and without capital were found to take the matter in hand and rapidly push things forward. We hope nothing will be thrown in the way of this all-important measure, which will tend in the least to retard its pro gress. Think how much better it will be for a steamboat to rush up the "raging canawl" some 12 or 13 miles discharge its cargo of freight and calmly drop back again, conscious of having fulfilled its destiny, than the present mode of convey ing supplies 10 mat region, i. e. witn an ox-cart. Then every one, directly or indirectly interested, can have a branch run ning to his very door, and we should not be surprised were Nemaha county to be come a second Venice minus the gondo las.

It is current on the streets here that Mr. Welch of this city at present, formerly of Michigan, and a nephew of Gen. Cass, has been appointed Secretary. The report, however, needs confirmation. At an Irish dance in the lower part of the city the other night, Capt. Whiskey got up a "muss" which resulted in the stabbing of one of their number, who "the Doctor say" cannot possibly survive.

It only seems as if it were yesterday that we first made our appearance in the ittle town of Brownville, and we must confes our incipient impressions were, anything but favorable. Here and there was only to be seen a pioneer's cabin, en vironed on almost every side with hazel brush, weeds, and nettles ; scarcely a sign of an alley or street could be seen any where. The prospects for making a town were gloomy enough. This was but some eighteen or twenty months ago. But what of us now ? . Are we not keeping pace with this age of unprece dented progress? The weeds, brushes, and nettles, are fast disappearing before the hand of civilization, and in their stead the eye beholds the "stately mansion," and the "smiling cottage." From a, po pulation of a mere handful we have in creased to seven or eight hundred. This is alone argument sufficient to show that we are progressing in a ratio comparable with any other town in the West. Our mechanics are constantly employed, and our merchants are crowded daily with customers from almost every part of our vast and fertile interior. The advantages of Brownville, we are proud to assert, are becoming known, and the trading public are having their eyes opened to the great importance of making this a place of trade. Goods of every possible kind can be had here at as reasonable rates as any other points in Nebraska, Iowa, or Missouri. These are facts, and facts cannot be denied, but musj be admitted by every honest man. And now, let us glance briefly at the future of the city of Brownrille. It has all the resources to make the principal city of the West, and if properly deve loped we think it a matter about which none can doubt. Our agricultural facili ties are beyond comparison ; our position unequalled; our progress already sur passes all others on the West side of the Missouri river. When we look over these and many other facts, we are convinced that the day is not far distant when the city of Brown ville will deserve to be called the mighty "Queen of the West." Indeed our for tune looks brilliant beyond expression, and long after the many boasted towns which now attract public attention shall have passed from remembrance, Brown ville will stand at the head of the list of important places in the Territory the glory of Nebraska and envy of lier com petitors. This may now seem an idle boast, but time will show its truth. "Rome was not built in a day" saith the old pro verb, and it may take years to accomplish the fulfillment of the prediction; but that state of things will be accomplished just as sure as we now occupy a position as third on the list of towns in Nebraska. cient to turn very heavy machinery, and several companies are forming to put up establishments for the manufacture of woolen and cotton goods, and also for the erection of merchant and grist mills. Like all other movements of a public nature, everybody has a right to express their opinion on the subject, and we are sorry that a division has already sprung up among those interested, as to the mode of conveying said "canawl" to Nemaha City. Some are in favor of carrying i there m water carts, while others think the better mode will be to float it down in the Missouri river, and by this means it will pass within a mile of the place, and should the inhabitants desire, they can establish a branch running back from the river. We might say a great deal upon this subject, but its vast and practical utility is necessarily so obvious to every one . that it is entirely useless. presents itself, "a cnange comes uer me spirit of their dreams," and they fire heavy shot into the ranks of the demo crats. Now, this is the point at which we have been trying to arrive, and we hope our frtje expressions on this head not occasion any umbrage to ' our readers. Who is it that pours outthe quintescence of abuse on me neaus or those men whom the world regards as the eaders of Democracy ? Are they friends of the party ? Why, of course not. It would be absurdity to - call vilifiers, liars and -slanders of the Democratic party its followers oririends. Whdn we hear a' man say he is a good democrat, and then, the very next moment, commence shower ing., perfect flood of slanderous epithets upon the leaders of the party,, we begin to suspect he is a poor democrat. We have no confidence in the fidelity of such men, and think they had as well come out at once and lei the world know where they stand. " NEMAHA. Foreign Correspondence- enter the cemetery.

J ' ' H NAVILLE. A Xcw Combination. We hear now-a-days of various combi nations and of different degrees of inten sity. First is the "combined influence," then comes simply "the combination," and again we have "a powerful combina tion;" but the one we speak of is none of these it is a "peculiar combination," and from the unanimity among its mem bers becomes likewise an "effective com bination." We allude to what seems to us a tacit understanding among those in arrears to this office, to starve us out. The course is slow but nevertheless sure, and under such well-directed efforts, it is impossible that we can long survive. It maybe merely an experiment on the part of our friends to see how long we can carry on business without funds; or, per chance, it is their opinion that printers like lovers are capable of sustaining life on air and moonbeams, and positively we better j find at home such a large supply of noth ing to eat that we are in great danger of trying the experiment. Come friends, try ami help us a little. Our expenses are heavy and without money it is impos sible to get along. Those we owe want money, ana as tor our journeymen well they begin to feel the pressure of the times. For the Nebraska Advertiser. BemocraticvPart) , Its Organization. Brownville, Dec. 26, 1S57. Mr. Editor: We rejoice in anticipation of the early concentration and consolidation of the Democratic Party in Nebraska. It should be the individual duty of each member of the party to aid, assist and encourage the full consumation of so desirable an ob ject. This is a subject in which Demo crats should feel a deep interest in every "nook and corner" of Nebraska. We think the interests of our Territory would be more faithfully guarded in the event of party lines being drawn. As it now is our officers are not responsible for their acis to any party organization, and in many instances the people are made the sufferers when it should fall upon the shoulders of some particular party. We do not know, however, of but one political party at this time in our Terri tory, and that, or rather its members, purport to be democratic true and gen uine followers of the immortal originators and leaders of said party. We hear many persons express themselves to be demo cratic, but when a suitable opportunity Paris, Nov. 2, 1857. Dear Furnas: Very likely, long before this reaches its destination, you will have received the news of the death of General Cavaignac, and the particulars relative to the sad oc currence and the funeral. Therefore it will suffice to sketch in a few lines the po sition the deceased occupied among his fellow-men, and in the republican party of which he was one of the prominent leaders. The name of Cavaignac has been, for more than half a century, familiar to all those who have followed the political changes that have taken place in France during that period. The father of the General was a mem ber of the Convention and one of those who thought it their duty to cast a vote of death for Louis the Sixteenth. Cavai gnac's brother, Godefroy, a man of talent and of great sense, could be found at the head of all attempts aiming at the over throw of the monarchy, either before or after 1830. The part he took in the days of April, 1S34, and his attitude before the Chambre des Pairs in the prosecution that the Government directed against a great many republicans after those days, won for him the admiration of even his enemies. Godefroy belonged to that republican fraction surnamed the puritans, and his ardent love for liberty and demo cratic institutions can be traced in every page of his writings. It is said he had great moral influence over his younger brother, Eugene, and many believe that, if he Jiad t een living, the sad mistakes the General made in exercising the dic tatorial power and the disastrous events that were the. consequences, would have; been avoid? d. ' : As for the deceased, brought up among soldiers, hi 3 natural capacities, his cou rage and , bravery, a presence of mind always at his service in the midst of dan ger, soon elevated him to the grade of general. He belonged to that African school of tactics, popularly called the sabreurs, which produced many distin guished generals, such as Pelissier, Can- robert, Bosquet, Lamoriciere, Changar nier, Bedeau, &c. "When the Revolution of ISIS broke forth, Cavaignac was appointed Governor of Algeria by the Provisional Government, and soon afterwards called to Paris to take charge of the War Department. June came and the discontented working" classes once more erected barricades and Paris was the theatre of the most formi dable insurrection ever known before. Cavaignac, invested with the command in chief of all the troops hastily gathered against the insurgents, had ample oppor tunity cf displaying his military genius. After five days of a desperate" contest the insurgents were vanquished, and the vic tor received the entire control of the exe cutive power for his reward. Thus far the politician had not yet made its appearance in Cavaignac, and,- unfor tunately, during, the time he had in his hands the dictatorial power, he proved to be as bad a politician as he was a good soldier. Although a republican he was not the man of the people, but only repre sented the middle-classes, what we call the bourgeoisie or the bouliquiers. The atrocities he allowed to be committed on the persons of the prisoners made during the battle, the summary executions that followed by his order or at least his con sent, the reactionaryT policy of his adminis tration, all that combined rendered him so unpopular that, at the presidential election, the great majority of the working-men voted for Napoleon, not because they loved or had the least confidence in that man, but only in hate of Cavaignac whom they surnamed the butcher of June. The death of Gen. Cavaignac is never theless an event to be regretted, not only by the bourgeoisie but by all the nuances of the republican party. The Govern- ment feared him, knowing very well that in case of sudden action he would place himself at the head of the insurgent forces and throw in the contest the weight of his sword, a weight not to be despised. To overthrow the present regime all would have accepted Cavaignac as the general of the; insurrection, only to cast him off after the victory. The funeraLtook place on the 31st ult., h.e hearse being followed by about 15,000 people. The government took unusual precautions to prevent an outbreak and only a hundred persons were allowed to President's 3Icssage, Owing to the great length of the Pre dent's Message it is impossible for us to publish it entire. We therefore give a synopsis' of the most important- features, which .will enable our readers to form a very good idea of this able and interest ing document : .ikei President says that'owing-to the monetary derangement of the institutions of the country, a - Government loan may be required before- the close of the present session. The financial history of the country for the last forty years has been one of extravagant expansions in business which were followed by ruinous contrac- Hons, and tne reueral uovernment can not do much to. provide against a recur rence of the existing evils. We 'must rely mainly on the patriotism and wisdom of the States which should afford a real specie basis for our circulation. He re commends the passage of a bankrupt law applicable to the banking institutions of the country. ITEMS. Washington, Dec. 15. ' R. J. Walker will, according to the assertions of his most intimate friends, soon Withdraw altogether from the Gov ernorship of Kansas, and will, in tender ing his resignation to the President, state his reasons for this course, designing, however, not to use any language which may have a tendency to disturb their pre sent friendly relations. Judge Douglas' bill, although "similar in its details to that of Mr. Toombs, con tains an additional clause, that the Con stitution when formed by the Convention shall be submitted entirely to the people of Kansas.' Senator Gwin has a large number of letters from California, in which the wri ters express an intense desire to be mus tered for service against the Mormons, wha are mentioned as baring- emissaries throughout that State, meditating the most serious mis chief. As Great Britain and the United States understand the . Clayton-Bulwer treaty in a sense directly opposite, he says the wisest course is to abrogate it by mutual consent. Few overtures for its adjustment were recently made by the British Government, in a friendly spirit, which the president cordially reciprocates. With all other governments except Spain, our relations are as peaceful as we could desire. It is the President's purpose to send out a Minister with special instruc tions on all questions pending between this Government and Spain, and with a determination to have them speedily and amicably adjusted, if possible. While our Minister to China has been instructed to occupy a neutral position in regard to existing hostilities at Canton, he will cordially co-operate with the Bri tish and French Ministers in all peaceful measures to secure by treaty stipulations those just concessions to commerce which the nations of the world have a right to expect, and which China cannot be per mitted to withhold. Our difficulties with New Grenada are it is to be hoped, in a fair train of set tlement, in a manner just and honorable to bcth parties. The United States are more deeply interested than any other nation in preserving the freedom of and security of all communications across the Isthmus of Central America including the Panama. He recommends the pas sage of an act authorizing the President in case of necessity, to employ land and naval force to carry into effect the gua rantee of neutrality, and also similar le gislation for 'the security of any other route across the Isthmus in which we may acquire an interest by treaty. me rresiuent condemns tne lawless expeditions fitied out against independent republics on this continent. He recom mends the whole subject to the serious attention of Congress, believing it our du ty and interest, as well as due to our na tional character, to adopt such measures as will be effectual in restraining our ci tizens from committing such outrages. The President says the Kansas Con vention was not bound by the Kansas-Nebraska act to submit any other portion of the Constitution to the people, exept that which relates to the domestic institution of slavery. The election will -be held under legitimate authority, and if any portion of the inhabitants refuse to vote, a fair opportunity to do so having been presented to them, it will be their own voluntary act, and they alone will be res ponsible for the consequences. The President says the rebellion in Utah is the first which has existed in our Territories, and humanity requires that it should be put down in such a manner as shall be best. In order to do this, it will be necessary to raise four additional regiments of troops. He recommends the establishment of a Territorial Government for Arizoiiia, and commends to the friendly consideration of Congress the, subject of the Pacific Rail road, without finally committing himself to any particular route. He calls espe cial attention to the recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy in favor of the construction of ten small steamers of light draught. In regard to the financial crisis, the President concludes thus : "But this I say after long and much reflection, if expe rience shall prove it to be impossible to enjoy the facilities which well regulated Banks might afford, without at the same time suffering the calamities which the excess of Banks have hitherto inflicted upon the country, it would then be far the lesser evil to deprive them altogether of the power to issue a paper currency, and confine them to the functions of banks of deposit or discount. In referring to the public lands, he says: "They should be disposed of so as to furnish homes for the hardy and inde pendent race of honest and industrious citizens, desirous of cultivating the soil. To squander away the public domain upon objects of questionable constitution ality is a violation of the most important trust committed to any people. He dep recates speculations in public lands and says the public survey ought only to keep pace with the tide of immigration. If Congress hereafter grants alternate sec tions to companies, other sections should be retained, subject only to actual settlers at a moderate price. He says, making presents tG Indians is bound to be ineffectual, and recommends the policy of colonizing them in suitable localitities, and imparting the rudiments of education and habit of industry. He says the late financial revulsion will have a good effect should it cause a return to the practice of wise and judicious eco nomy in the public and private expendi tures. He deprecates Congress crowding the most important bills till the last moments of the session, and expresses the deter mination to approve no bill unless the time is afforded for examination required by the constitution. He recommends Con gress to allow the President two days pri or to adjournment, within which no bill shall be presented him for approval. JVew York, Dec-16. The Herald's Washington correspon dent states that instructions were, to-day, sent by telegraph, to the Collectors at New Orleans and Mobile, and to the District Attorneys of. Louisiana and Ala bama, to use all means in their power, ac cording to law, to prevent the departure of any hostile expedition against Central America. Instructions have also been given to prosecute the steamer Fashion as soon as she returns to the United States. The frigate Jamestown will immedia tely leave for San Juan, and Captain Cha tord, of the Saratoga, who permitted the Fashion to enter the harbor of San Juan, and to piss under his stern and then land the fillibusters, will be immediately re- canea and succeeded.

J. .Walker has printed his letter of resignation of the Governorship of Kansas, designing to supply the press with copies. Some of his friends confi dently assert that the President will re fuse to accept his resignation by return ing the letter, so that it will not appear on the public archives, and further, they anticipate that the President will dismiss him. In the Senate, this morning, Mr. Foote introduced a bill granting a homestead of one hundred and sixty.acres of land to actual settlers, and Mr. Wilson presented the resolution of the Massachusetts Leg islature, asking that the State be reim bursed for the money advanced to the United States during the war of 1S12. JVeir York, Dec. 17. Special correspondence from Washing ton states that Governor Walker's resig nation is on file in the State Department. It is an eborately written document of twenty-five pages, and was read before a special meeting of the Cabinet last eve ning. The Herald's correspondence says that the President will direct the Secretary of State to receive it. No reply will be made that will be generally circulated to day. . An immense Democratic meeting was held in the Park to-night to respond to the President's message. Richard Schell presided, and speeches were made by various distinguished men. While Mr. Schell was speaking at one of the stands, the platform gave way, causing great excitement, but fortunately no one was seriously injured. The assemblage at the stand proceeded to the City Hall steps, and the speeches continued. - , . rfvgysta, Ga., Dec. 17, The Legislature of South Carolina re fuses to legalize the suspension of the banks in that State. The Legislature of Georgia has as yet done nothing on the subject, and whether that of Alabama will take any action is doubtful. The Administration having been advis ed, by telegraph, that Acting-Governor Stanton had called a special meeting of the Territorial Legislature of Kansas, the President forthwith removed him and nominated to the Senate as his successor. General Denver, now Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who left Wasgington for the West last week. The reason for the removal is, that Mr. Stanton has violated the instructions heretofore given to both Governor Walker and himself to do no act which could possibly disturb the peace of that Territory, but exert all the means in iheir power to preserve it. The sole ob ject and purpose of convening the Legis lature, it is considered, can only be to engender strifes, and embarrass the peo ple in voting on the slavery question in the form proposed by the Constitutional Convention. Hon. William Lawrence, of the Ohio delegation, distinctly contradicts the state ment that the democratic members of that delegation have resolved to vote arrainst the admission of Kansas into the Union under the Constitution prepared by the Lecompton Convention. There has been neither action nor discussion of the sub ject among them. In Kanawha county, Va., litely, a young lady sued a gentleman for damages for breach of promise. It was proved in evidence, says the Valley Star, that the young lady was a flirt, and the jury ac cordingly awarded her one cent damage. HE.IT Kul"R a'V."
