41 j, 't r -' t is THE ADVERTISER. ' II. W. rUKNAS, EDITOR. TIIURSDAY MOUSING, JULY 15, 1S58. ApoW r'l Being compelled to spend most of the past week "at pre," and in the "job room," we have been able to give but little attention to our paper. Archer Ilalf-Breed Line. In another column will be found a no tice relative to the town of Archer, in Richardson county! We learn by J udge Ferguson, that by an act of Congress, what is known as the "McKoy line," has been established as the half-breed line. This leaves Archer off the half-breed land, and also relieves many settlers who had spent their all in improving claims, and had the "new line" been established would have lost all. Too much credit cannot be given E. S. Dundy, Esq., who went on to Washington in person, and to gether with our Delegate, succeeded in accomplishing what has been done for the settler. Our Delegate Returned. We had the pleasure of welcoming again to Nebraska soil our worthy Delegate, Hon. Fexxer Ferccsox. lie and fam ily arrived in this city by the steamer Mansfield, on Monday evening last. Af ter remaining until Wednesday, he proceeded homeward by stage, via Ne braska City. He will meet with a hear ty welcome all over the Territory. Taxing Lands. As we stated last week, a floating par agraph has been going the rounds both through the press, and in private circles, to the effect that the Supreme Court of the United States had decided that lands sold by the General Government are not taxable by the States or Territories until tho jirtual iacue of the patent. We had no faith that the report was true. It was so directly in the face of all right and justice ; and we intended to have written somewhat at length on the subject this week. The following letter from Hon G. W. Jones, to the editor of the Du buque Express and Herald puts the mat ter to rest: Washington, June 15, 1S5S. Sir: I called on the Clerk of the U. S. Supreme Court, relative to the decis ion of the L. b. Supreme Court with re gard to the illegality of taxing lands be fore the issue of the patents. He informs ine that there is no such opinion given and as he owns much land in the West that it is subject to taxation, which would be exempt under sucn a decision, it any such has been made. He says the news paper report is without the least founda tiou. G. W. Jones. Falls (it). In another column will be found an in teresting letter from Falls City. We thank the writer for the compliment paid us, and assure him and all others, that in the future as in the past, either in private or public capacities, no effort shall be ne glected, calculated to develope and ad vance the interests of Nebraska, and es pecially the southern portion. W reje with jour neighbors that the navigation of the Nemaha, to the Falls is no longer an ftxperiment; mat over the future prospects and importance o Falls City no longejr hangs a doubt. W acknowledge fraukly, that at first sight of this place ; the beauty of the site ; the inexhaustable water-power; the abun dance of stone and timber, and the vast amount of unexcelled farming land around, we were forced to admit Falls City more full of promise than any other point ofl the Missouri river, it has been our for tune to visit. In addition to the advanta ges which nature has bestowed, no point can boast of more energetic and enter prising citizens. With such a combina tion, who can fail to prophesy correctly as to the future of this young city ? We will Trade. Many complain that mo ney is too scarce to subscribe for our pa per, or even continue it. To our subscri bers or others who desire tu become so in this and adjoining counties, we say we will cheerfully exchange our labor with you. In other words anything you have to dis pose of that we can eat drink, wear, or pay debts with, we will take as money, for subscription advertising or job work. Beef, pork, chickens, butter, eggs corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, turnips, hay, wood, stone coal, brick, shingles or lumber, are just as good to us as cash. They Come. Our streets have been jam med continually, the past week, with em igrant wagons having crossed the river at this point. They settle in this and ad joins counties west. Numerous families have also landed from steam boats. A Social Hop " " Was participated in the Brownville House on Thursday evening last. The Nemaha City Band discoursed excellent music. City Livery Stable- Wm. Rossell has completed, or at least so far as to be able to open out his new livery stable on Main Street, near the new Hotel in this city. This is something we have long much needed, and we hope Mr. Rossell will meet with sufficient patronage to enable him to branch out still more extensively. Read the advertisement of A. Gv IN THE TERRITORY. r Mrs. C. Eorup, who resided two miles west of Cumrning City, says the Star, was, while walking in the grass, on Saturday last, bitten by a snake ; and, although all that a kind husband and attentive friend?, with medical assistance . could " do, was done, yet the sufferer died on the follow ing morning. Waltar Lcwrie, the Senior Secratery of the Presbyterian Board of Missions arrived in Bellevue a short time since. He brought with him the United States patent for that portion of Bellevue, gran ted to the Mission, by Act of Congress, which has been duly recorded, by "the Register of that county. This is the first patent issued for lands in this Terri tory. The Rulo Guide says we have taken pains to inquire of numerous farmers re cently, as to the prospect of crops in their different neighborhoods, and all concur in stating that they are truly flattering: in deed they Lave never before seen such prospects in the West, so early in the season. The Cuming City Star says: Coal is known to exist alonsf the banks of New York Creek, and there is no longer any doubt about it. Scarcely a week passes without a specimen having been "brought into our office, which had been washed down from the banks of that stream. All the specimens we have seen indicated the best cf coal. We are happy to learn, says the Ne braska City News, that a large colony of French are about to locate themselves on the Big Blue in Gage County, Nebraska. They are a thrifty, energetic community orfarmers and mechanics. John Calhoun; Surveyor General for Nebraska and Kansas, has arrived at Nebraska City. The Platte Valley Times contains the following announcements of candidates to the Legislature : Coukcil E. A. Donelan, John Howard, L. G. Jeffers. House W. M. Slaughter, T. M. Mar quette.

A man, name unknown, supposed to be a deserter from the army, was drowned in Loup Fork, between Columbus, Platte county, and Cleveland, Monroe county, the 24th ult. The citizens of Washington county have adjusted the preliminaries for the organ ization of a vigilance committee in that county. Its object, being to protect them selves from the depredations of thieves whom infest that county. B. P. Rankin has been appointed to the office of Clerk of the Courts, for the first Judicial Distric t, in this Territory in the place of J. W. Paddock.

This excellent troupe of Vocalists, sang to an overflowing house at Johnson's Hall, in this City, on Satur day evening last. They have lost none of their interest since they were here a year ago.

Since the first of January, 19,122 em igrants have arrived at Ne.v York, being a decrease of 24,405 as compared with the same period of last year. - Home Correspondence.. - Falls Citt, July 7, '58.?.'. The annual ebulition of patriotism on the immortal Fourth is overand we are quietly Testing from the exertions of the great occasion. j-. 'It was a great feature with ourcitizens first, because it was the anniversary of our municipal birth, the first house being completed-one year ago ; secondly, be cause the White Cloud Ferryboat, with some two hundred citizens of Oregon, White Cloud, and Forest City, were ex pected on'a visit of neighborly fraterni zation with our citizens. A free dinner, on a large scale, was gotten up. Beef, roast pigs, chickens, bread, p'fes, cake, &c., &.c, were prepar ed. Flags, banners, and martial para nalia, in the most approved style ; and to crown the whole, the entire Sack na tfon, without respect to party, were invi ted to rejoice with us in the destruction of eatables and drinkables. Early in the morning the wagons came rolling into the town, and unloading the men, wo men and babies fine fat children, the fu ture men of the Territory. A committee with wacrons and teams nut out for the Nemaha River, to escort , the White Cloud delegation from the boat About eleven o'clock Mr. McDonald and others made appropriate speeches, and next came a procession to dinner. Af ter dinner, the Indians rave us a war ' t.j dance, that was to me the feature of the clay. Dressed in costume, with feathers, and gaudy skins, led by the majectic Massauquet, there was a force and en ergy in their evolutions, that seemed to infuse them with the fire of other days. It would have been a treat to you. They are the finest body of men I have ever seen, and their conduct and deportment would shame many who had the benefi1 of civilization. About four o'clock the dance commen- ced, in tne new nail wim sucn music as the Nemaha City band know how to dis course. No wonder they kept it up unti' morning. Q About nine o'clock, Capt Moore of the ferry-boat appeared, with a report from the crowd of excursionists on the Nema ha. They had run into a drift in the Mis souri, disabled their boat, but they stil kept coiner until niaht, when a drift at the mouth of Muddy, that had been over looked, while cleanmr eut the stream stopped them. A Committee immediately went down loaded with provisions, to express the mu tual disappointment, and to furnish con veyances, if necessary, to bring them up either in the night or morning, One thing is settled, and that is, thefea sibility of navigating the Nemaha to Fall City. This boat draws two leet water and up to the place of landing (about three miles from town) they had 10 feet water in the channel A project is already on foot to build a small boat carrying about 50 tons, and to draw 10 to 12 inches water to make reg ular trips via White Cloud to Saint "Jo seph, and then we of course will be at the head of navigation I need say nothing of this county. These four counties lying on the Mis souri watered by ihe two Nemahas, are emphatically the garden of Nebraska. Then with our water power, which can be obtained to the amount of 30 ft. fall without impeding ihe navigation of the stream, we will be found adding our mite to vours in develoninir the land ot our adoption. Uv the wav. let me sav one word in j ----- j - - -reference to a charter to dam the Nana .ha, above the Falls, and to make use this power. As a work of public utility tending to the advancement of our com man country, it seems to me, all private interests should fall before it. As citi zens of Falls City, we will yield all pri vate interests. Let a charter be passed by the next Legislature; we care not who are the trustees. If there are those on the River whose interests would be affec ied, make them the trustees, and indem nify them to the full extent of all losses The drainage of the Bottom by the pro posed race, would or ltselr almost repay them, and if after all that could be done, there should be a factious opposition, let the greater good be paramount to the les ser. Southern Nebraska appreciates the la bors you have already effected for her progress and advancement, and the eyes of our people are turned to you as the earnest promoter of every enterprise of general utility. The latest item is the capture of three young men, recently of this neighborhood, and six Indian ponies taken from the Sacs. It was their first attempt in this en terprise, and they acted very imprudent ly from the day they set out; waking up Mr. Herkendorf, at the crossing of Mud dy, loitering on the road, dancing, and frolicking, and on the day they were ta ken, they had left their pistols in a wag on and were perfectly unarmed. Instead of bringing them to Falls City and there trying them, as was the request of Mr. Tesson and the Indians, thev were taken to Saint Stephen, and there lynched, tarred and feathered, and then set on the other side of the river. The punishment, though very severe, was merited ; and, it is to be hoped, it may result in their reformation. It seem:- to me, that in the community where, the deed was done, I would, if one otV the suffers, strive to regain my char acter, Tesson and the Indians were in 'avor of letting them go, on a public con- ession of their guilt, the Indians could not bear the sight of men being scourged likjdr "Death to the resistant, but pardon to the penitent is the natural logic of the Indian. - News Items. Mr. Henry Kessler, an old and ex tensive currier of Cincinnati, is Having an elephant's hide tanned as a curiosity, lie purchased it in Wisconsin, where the an imal, which belonged to a menagerie, had died. He gave 10 for the skin, and the reight to that city was $15. It is an immense hide, so bulky that the tanners handle it with great difficulty. It is near- y two inches thick, and a full year and a half will be required to tan it thorough- y. It will be a curiosity when thoroughly seasoned. A letter from Florence, Italy, to the Newark Advertiser states that Mr Hart's marble memorial of Henry Clay for the ladies of Yinrinia, is in nrorrress, 'and will probably be completed during the year. ;The same artist is further occu pied op the model for a collossal bronze figure of Mr. Clay for the city of New Orleans. Mr. Jefferson is also beinrr commemmorated in marble for the State of Virginia by an aspiring young sculp tor of the Old Dominion, Mr. Gait. The Lafayette, Ind.

The Pacific Mail contracts has been ex tended for one year from the first of Oc tober next, for the sum of $316,000. The amount of sugar destroyed by the inundation in Louisiana is estimated at 50,000 hogsheads worth $3,000,000, The cotton destroyed by the overflow on the banks of the Mississippi, it is sak; will be 190,000 bales, whose value woul probably be $4,000,000.

The fortnnate purchaser is now the proprietor of 4,500 acres of the richest sugar lands in Louisiana, and over 200 negroes. The following is supposed to be the number of newspapers in the world : Ten in Austria, fourteen in Africa, twenty four in Spain, twenty-sixain Portugal, six ty-five in Belgium, thirty in Asia, eighty five in Denmark, fifty in Russia and To land, three hundred and fifty in the Ger manic States, five hundred in Great Brit air and Ireland, and two thousand in the United States; total 3,154. From the foregoing it will be seen that in the Uni ted States are issued nearly twice as ma ny as in all the rest of the world. Martin Kosta, the Hungarian refugee, who was rescued from the Austrian au thorities in '53, by Commodore Ingra ham, of the United States Navy, died recently in very indigent circumstances, on a sugar plantation, near the- city of r i i uuatemala. Support your Coanty Taper. Recollect, if a home weekly paper is to be supported, home influence must do it. Everydollar sent to Eastern papers is at an expense to local papers. The county acquires prominence through its papers, more than in any other way, and to every one who has county interests at stake, his home paper is a necessity. Never will such a man take a paper prin ted away from home until he is able to take a second paper. His first paper will be his home sheet and he will so identify his own interest with that of his county paper as to consider his subscription as much a matter of duty as the payment of taxes- Cleveland Herald. Tassports for France. Mr. Sartiges, the French Minister, writes to Secretary Cass that the regula tions in regard to passports to France have not been changed. The 'visa' of a French agent ahead is obligatory on ev ery perscn who wishes to proceed to France.
