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.

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

at Johnson's Hall, in this City, on Satur

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.

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.
