Where on our beaatifu and fertile - prairies nought was to be seen but the waving green of nature planting, r.o.v the labors of the husband man speak ; thousands of acres of cultiv ated fields where nature's sod has been disturbed, are now to be seen the luxu riant corn and golden smaller grains; where . the whoop of the untutored savage alone was heard, as with bow and arrow he chased the fleet de'er, now is to be heard the tinkling beH of grazing herds and the merry song of the plow-boy. This is not a change pictured by fancied ima gination, but is real is the "change wrought in a few "moments." We never write or talk on the progress thus far. of ISebraska, Nemaha county ana urownnile, tut that we naturally enough to-be-sure find ourself peering into the future, and being impressed, as we think no reasoning or observing mind can fail to be, with this fact: that that portion of the country, say between the . mouth of the Platte river in Nebraska anl the Kansas river in Kansas,; and be tween te Missouri river and the Rocky . Mountains, must in a short time become - more densely populated and valuable than any other portion of the United States. . Nature appears to have done more for this country indeed, we think, has been particularly partial rthan for any other. r The millions cf acres of land lying within the boundaries mentioned, in another gen eration will be peopled, for it has attrac tions and capacities to contain and support . wnole nations. Another writer says : "Looking back towards the East we see a country'which, in two generations, has Deen won irom tne wild man and buffalo. and now contains hundreds of thriving cities, thousands of towns, and millions of peopie. is not the future as fraught with nrnrrrpss as tf met ? lv;n . i o m m uui i wo more generations find the Anglo-Saxon herdin nis cattle and watching his .sheep on the slopes of the Rocky Mountains ?

All along the Missouri river, the great thoroughfare of the West, within the limits spoken of, must be numbers of large flourishing cities. "The thundering din cf a thousand worshops, and the chimes of an hundred church bells'. will alterna tely break upon the ear, and wealth be come concentrated," and "there w ill be no end to advancement and prosperity. - May not Brownville, as a young ctow- ing, and thus. far exceedingly prosperous cuy, expect to become m tune one of those Emporiums ?

V:n-- - COLOWT ' 8TTLXMETXS ' : Several colonies are making the requi site preparations to move to Nebraska and others have -already made their appear ahce here this spring. This is certainly a very advantageous way of emigrating and settling.a new country. It is encour aging at the start to know that the com pany is composed of friends and agreea ble associates, that the journey will be among strangers by single fancies into 'a strange land. The protection and assis tance -of the - association is found to be very beneficial, not only in traveling, but at 'their new home;-' and opportunities rcr.tne estatilishment of schools , and churches immediatly after their perma nent location is a great item with the en ergetic, intelligent and enterprising fron tiersman . Stores, shops and all the conveniences of the farmer can be more readily ob tained among them and supported profit ably than is the case where the country is settled by the slow process of moving by single families in the usual manner. They also, have all the profits arising from the sale of lots of a town of their own loca tion, and indeed how admirably will such an arrangement contribute in every re sped to the . prosperity and happiness of such a combined comunity where every assistance required is rendered each oth er and their new home made comfortable and pleasant. CALL Of EXTRA 6ESSI0IT Necessity appears to require that an extra session of, the Legislature should be convened as soon after the next election as'practicable. Our laws should be re vised and compiled, and new acts passed to ccmplele the code. A criminal statute is much needed, and the Territory and counties are suffering much for want of a revenue law to support the government. Murder, arson, theft and misdemeanors are the order of the; day and the guilty often go unpunished for want of a direct law for their correction and conviction. Many consider themselves at liberty to commit depredations without suffering the infliction of a penalty. Judges, jus tices and many officers doubt their havin proper jurisdiction, and therefore proseT cutions are not encouraged and many cases abandoned and otherwise thrown out of court." , If something is not done towards per fecting our laws the people as now dis posed will take the government in their own hands' and disorder will be the result. After the election and- when it is ascer tained who are the representatives of the people, let the Governor call " them to gether in Extra Session, to transact busi ness of public importance in the passage of the requisite general statutes. ?. When the Legislature shall have as sembled they can then make that the regular session for this year and thereby obtain their compensation as usual. ! Gre at necessity on the part of the peo ple in reference to this subject is certain- y a sufficient reason for pursuing this course, and we hope it may be acquiesed in and encouraged by those who are to be benefitted by it. . ' The statutes could be published and distributed much sooner by this course and thereby have order brought out of confusion. ' " - ' HotrsE Bemuse. ; A gentleman in Omaha it is said made the attempt on the 17th inst. to burn his own duelling. Shavings were obtained pine kindlings prepared, part of the house vacated, and all the necessary arrange ments m'ade for the accomplishment of his design : The other portion of the house was occupied by a family who kept board ing house, and the sleeping apartments were principally in the second story. The lire was communicated in the corner, im mediately, under the stairway, as if in contemplation of first destroying the only cnance for escape for those above. The house and petitions were built of pine, canvassed and papered inside instead of plastering, and consequently the flames caught readily, but were discovered be. fore much damage was done. : He was arrested, taken before the May or, tried, and sent to jail to await further investigation. . It is supposed that he was after the insurance.

The President of the Road was here one day last week, and reports the citizens along the road aa wide awake to their own interests, and -tltatHlnrlrars-nai3ontt but every coun ty along the line will subscribe liberally to the stock of the Company. If they do so, and we have no reason to , doubt that they will, the road will be pushed ahead a little faster than any other road in the West. The counties of Pottawattamie, Mills and Fremont, can build the Road within their own limits. They have a large amount -of Swamp Lands which they can and will appropriate in aid of its construction. The grading and' bridging can be done this season, and the road once graded and bridged, there will be no dif ficulty in procuring the rails. ; While in St.' Louis, while we conver sed with several wealthy citizens of that, place, relative to the road, and all agreed that it is a road in which St. Louis is deeply interested, and would aid in its construction. The counties in Nebraska and Kansas, lying upon the Missouri riv er,, are also deeply interested-in the con struction of this road, and we doubt not from the interest already taken in the matter, will materially aid in its construc tion. L,et the ball be kept in motion; every revolution it makes adds to its size and importance. Council Blvffs Bugle. Hon. Henry B.
