there who ia olden days went forth by
Divine command to preach to every nation
tongue aol kindred, with the comfortin
assurance that "I am with you even to
the ends cf the earth;" and where the
handmaid of this religion, Education, had
not yet taken hold, now the "instructive
tongue and the attentive ear" are busy
"from Monday rnorn 'till Saturday even,'
and the two move hand in hand . to en
lighten and evangelize this portion o
God's footstool. 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

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

of an hundred church bells'. will alterna

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. '

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.

rThe survey of this road is progressing"
finely, and we understand the engineer
reports the route as much better than he
at first anticipated. 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;
