THE ADVERTISER. 11. W. 'FURNAS. EDITOR. THURSDAY MORNING, AUG. 11,1859. It was well understood at the last ses sion of Congress, that Kansas was about to apply for admission, and in view of that fact, an attempt was made to have the census of Kansas taken, with a view to hpr PYrltisinn unless she had a certain amount of population : but it failed.

There was another raska, in favor of obtaining as speedily class of lands on which were settlers with as possible a State form of government, improvements, and who were not entitled that no argument is needed. W e all feel to the right or benefit of pre-emption. the important and vital benefits that will The fact being made known, they were great thoroughfare to and from the gold regions. There are yet a great many returning adventurers, the testimony of whom are generally favorable as to the productiveness of the mines. Those who are coming back, are forced to do so from a want of means with which to prosecute explorations, and a scarcity of provisions. They nearly all will return in the spring. A tri-weekly Express passes Hackney's Ranch each way from the mines and Lcarenworth. Each express from the mines averages $5,000 in dust, i .- While speaking of the mines, we may Eay numbers are arriving daily at this point ; those who have gone out other routes, all of whom pronounce the route from Crownville the shortest and best. We may safely calculate upon an im mense travel from this point in the spring. We are glad to learn that those of our j citizens now in the mines, are doing well. A. C.

The moment we secure admission as a State, stability, permanence, charac- allowed to bid in their lands at govern ment price, 81,25 per acre. On the part of all, we are satisfied there has been a general disposition to favor the settler, and thus consult the At public sale Pre-emption Private entry ter, and importance, are stamped indehb- general good ly. upon us. Capitalists will seek us with thpir' investments and operations. Our laws assume a charaoter of stability and worth, because of a constitutional touch stone, or guide. We secure the immedi ate control and use of our school lands, which to us at present, and while a Ter ritory," are useless. None surely will pre tend to deny that our educational inter ests, second to no others, need protection, aid, fostering and securing, while in its infancy, more than at any other time. Could we have the control of lands alrea dy reserved for educational purposes, and others that most likely would be donated, and they be prudently managed, we can lay a foundation for a system of education not only for those now in need, but for "millions yet unborn !" Is not this fea lure alone a sufficient incentive to prompt every lover of the welfare of his race to seek, ask, and demand admission into the Union of States ? Again we secure the magnificent grant of lands for various enterprises of inter nal improvements, which we have no rea sonable hope of ever obtaining while : Territory. And yet again, the per cent. upon sales of public lands usually bestow ed upon new States, and which is suffi cient to defray all the expenses of a State Government, is ours. How important it is then,, to Nebraska that he send a Delegate to Congress fully and unmistakably committed on this subject. We may say, all depends upon the Delegate. Orejron secured admission w only through the indefatigable efforts, and perseverance of her Delegate. Ne braska cannot reasonably hope to succeed unless her Delegate makes this subject iht preat obiect of his mission. We are free to say, we will support no man, hail from where he may, unless he be committed fully on this project. As we stated last week, we are in fav or of an extra session of-, the Legislature, the special object of which shall be to make the necessary arrangements for the convening of a Constitutional Convention. W'e are informed Gov. Black will con vene the Legislature if satisfied the people so desire.- . Shall Nemaha' County speak on' this subject 7 We believe she will, for . she knows what are her true interests, as . well as that of the Territory at large. In speaking upon this subject, the Ne braska City People's Tress of. the 4th, says : ' .vThe principal objection raised is, that ' we have, not the requisite amount of pop ulation. Wre say that the population ne ver has .been, with, one exception,' and never should be made the condition upon which States are to be formed. It is one question which may enter into the discus- ' sion; as to the necessity or fpropriety of forming' a State government with the people of the proposed State themselves. The attempt has often been made to make it a test question but such a policy has : never been recognized as the practice of ithe country. It was attempted in the case of Kansas, and later in Oregon, but tailed in both instances. . Next week we will furnish our read ers with the amount of lands offered sold and returned in this District, that at a glance it may be seen how much vacant lands are vet in the Nemaha 0 Land Listrict. Omaha Land Office. During the month of July just closed, there were sold for cash, at the Land Of fice in this city : Acres. 7,716 94 664 Money Rec'd. S9.851 117 577 cash. 2o3miIit'y scrip.

"Wil son, Receiver of Public Monies. What other Land Office in the Territory can show a similar amount of business in the same, or an equal period of time ? The above we clip from the last Oma ha Nehraskian, by reference to which it will be seen that out of the 41,104 acres disposed of in four weeks, 30,512 was "warrant locations" made after the sales and by speculators a class of men vho it cannot be expected will improve the lands secured. In other words, the bu siness was the rush of private entries. We will compare with the above the business done at this, the Nemaha Land District, in three weeks, before the sales, by pre-emption actual settles. From the 15th of July to the 6th of August, 1S59, the following was the bu siness at this office, viz: Warrants under act of 1S55 42,249 acr's 1&50 6S0 1947 800 Cash entries 4,194 The Premium List of the Territo rial Fair. The Press of Nebraska City is consid erably exercised over the $8 egg-plant premium, which we explained last week. As before stated the Board have done the best they could under the circumstances ; and we are unwilling to admit until time and experience prove it to be so, that "an error has been committed" in any arran gement made connected with the ap- roaching Fair. The Board did not ex pect that, in the beginning, everything would be just right and suit everybody The editor of the Press or "Cincinna tus," in our opinion, could much better further the cause of agriculture, by aiding in making the best of the present and profiting by it in the future, even though there might be errors or inconsistencies, than by hunting up flaws and finding fault! We hope Mr. Irish will take hold and do all in his power from now until the Fair, to make it an agreeable and profitable gathering to the agricultu ral and mechanical interests of Nebraska; and occupy the space in his excellent pa per, he ha3 been using to expose "incon sistencies," in healing any "great dissa tisfaction" he may discover. Don't you think, Mr. L, you could do mora good in that way; feel better, sleep sounder, and be less liable to be frighted by "whiskey jugs," "female equestrians and drivers,'' or the "squandering of the people's mo ney?" Try it. t i The Kansas Claim Bill.

Nixon, at least 7,000 acres, thus leading the. Omaha Office within the same time 13,820; but we choose to beat their four weeks hand somely, with our thru weeks. From the Plains and Mines. r We have had, the past week, a "call" from Mr. W. II. Hacknet, of "Hackney's Ranch," 125 miles west from this city. We are glad to see William greatly re covered in health. He reports a healthy condition of af fairs generally. Some trouble has been experienced with the Indians of various tribes; nothing, however, of a serious nature ; mostly petty pilfering, for which that species of the genus homo is noted. Mr. II. is located immediately upon the Vigilance Committee In Holt Co. We learn from Hon. R. Brown, who has just returned from Holt County, Mo., that considerable excitement prevails there in consequence of recent acts of in cendiarism, and the session of a Vigilance Committee for the purpose of ferretting out the offenders. Within the last six months several valuable barns and store houses, together with their content?, have been destroyed by fire ; the people had submitted as long as they felt they could, and, forming a Vigilance Committee, pro ceeded to investigate where , suspicions rested. The result has been three citiz ens, a Mr. .Walker, his son and son-in-law, have been notified to leave the coun ty within a given time. The end is yet to be seen. Hon.

We find in the Dayton (Ohio) Empire of August 2d, quite a lengthy communica tion, over the: signature "E. McC." writ ten from this city. "E. McC," we pre sume, is a gentleman from Ohio who spent several months in this place and county. He also visited nearly every portion of Nebraska, and being a man of sound judgment, and a closeobserver, his letter is entitled to no ordinary consideration. Brownville;'X. T., July 17, 1859. : Ed. Empire: At a period like the pre sent, when the attention of a great many persons is directed to the West, the ques tion is freauentlv asked : Which is the best locality in which to settle ? The an swer to this question is very often dictated by the interest of the party to whom the question is addressed, and the result in i many instances is, disappointment and loss. These reflections have been sug gested by many enquiries addressed di rectly to the writer, and to avoid the ne cessity of answering numerous correspon dents, I have determined, with your per mission, and in as brief a manner as pos sible through the medium of your columns, to give the required information to the best of my ability ; premising, however, that my avocations up to this period have not been of such a character as to render my descriptions satisfactory to the practi cal farmer. I shall be obliged to deal in generalities, at the same time I shall not omit mentioning in detail either the ad vantages or disadvantages of those locali ties with which I am most familiar. With this positive assurance to parties interest ed in obtaining reliable information that the writer has not a dollar of personal in terest in the Territories, and cannot pos sibly be actuated by any other motive than that of keeping his friends who propose moving westward, in the right direction; and he thinks the length of time he has resided in the Territories, gave him ample opportunities of becoming acquainted with the most eligible locations, in which to in vest money, or become an actual settler. Southern Nebraska, therefore, is be yond all comparison the finest country I have seen, and more particularly the four counties on the river, viz: Richardson, Nemaha, Otoe and Cass ; but as each of these counties is but a type of the others I shall select Nemaha and her county town, Brownville, for description. To attempt to do justice to this beauti ful county of Nemaha, would be entirely beyond my capacity. It would take the descriptive pen of Byron to do its magni ficent qualities half justice. I have seen scenery more grand and majestic, but a lovelier, natural landscape, I never be held. That part of the county which fringes the river, presents to the eye a bold, precipitous, and almost continuous blutt, extending back from the river in some instances more than a mile. But when you have fairly cleared this broken upland, and get into a position enabling you to take in with the eye a moderately extensive view of the country behind, he must be dead to all that is beautiful in na ture who is not at once captivated by the extraordinary beauty of the scene which opens to his vision, its glorious undula tions, rising and falling with a regularity which must astonish even the poorest of nature's worshippers. The landscape does not present to the eye a naked prai rie, but is finely diversified by wood and stream. There flows the Little Nemaha, its banks thickly covered with walnut and oak, and the graceful beauty of its wind ings as it makes its way to the Missouri, must convince even the most common ob server, that nature's journeyman had no hand in the construction of a piece of work so superlatively beautiful. And when you connect this with a soil unequalled in fertility, you have such a country for the habitation of man as rarely falls to his lot, even in this favored land. Nor must it for a moment be supposed that this glo rious county ii isolated. Not so. It is situated on one of the greatest thorough tares in tne world tne Missouri river, and a constant succession of splendid steamboats brings it into daily communi cation with the great commercial cities of the continent, furnishing a ready market for the various products of this teeminsr garden. The marked qualities of the landscape are its gentle inequalities; not abrupt, but regularly sloping; just enough to car ry off the water. And between these slopes there is almost invariably to be found never failing springs of water. But this question of water may be at once dis posed of by stating that there is not a quarter section of land in Nemaha county that does not possess, on its surface, buffa lo holes, springs, or running streams, am ply sufficient for stock and other purposes. To speak of the fertility of the soil would be superflous; it is capable of producing wheat, corn, barley, rye, oats, potatoes, &c, &c, in such quantities to the acre, as would seem fabulous were I to state them here, and in addition to the above I am enabled to state that Fall wheat has proven to be a complete success. The ex periment was first tried last fall, and has turned out to the satisfaction of all who made the adventure. In concluding this part of my subject I feel perfectly safe in making the assertion, that the four coun ties I have named will have a surplus of produce this season, amounting to not less than S350.000. , Brownville is the county town of Ne maha county. It has a most eligible situa tion, and has decidedly one of the finest landings on tha river; and it possesses one feature, which is certainly worthy of a passing notice, viz: it is far behind the country by which it is surrounded, "and al though its progress has been wholesome, yet the country has far outstripped it in the race of advancement. In sporting parlance, the town has been fairly distan ced by the country. To give something of an idaa of this, it is merely necessary to say that I know farms within two miles of Brownville, that could not be bought this day for less than 88,000. This may astonish people at a distance who are not familiar with the improvements of this portion of Nebraska.; ' Yet it is neverthe-! less true, for I am quite sure that less than the sum I have named would not buy j Judge Whitney's farm, or others that I could mention. i The people of Brownville claim for it a population of one thousand. This I some what doubt; but should think from their last vote, making all allowances, that the population does not exceed eight hundred; but that it must become an important town, -is beyond a peradventure. It is backed by the finest country on the con tinent, and - by far the most fertile. It has timber in abundance. Wood was sold here last winter at two dollars per cord. It also has building stone of .most excel lent quality, within 300 yards of the steamboat landing, and limestene beds within a short distance cf the town. ; It has already, a Presbyterian church, Old School, in charge of the Rev. Mr. Bill ingsly, a most excellent man, and worthy pastor. Mr. Tipton, late of your city, is erecting a Congregational church ; and the other denominations, are. respectably represented. There are a saw and corn mill, and four stores that would, not dis grace any city. The extent of the busi ness done in these establishments may be inferred from the fact that but a few days ago. one of the concerns alluded to recei ved at one shipment over 40 tons of goods. There are two good hotels; two well con ducted newspapers, and in the office of one of these papers I have seen specimens of job printing that would put to shame some of the best samples which could be produced by the best offices in the largest cities. Nearly every description of busi ness is liberally represented, not even ex cepting a periodical office. It is in the hands of an intelligent gentleman, who knows how to conduct it. Should you de sire to look over the pages of a Herald, or a Tribune, or glance at the pictures in a Harper, or a Leslie, you can be accom medated; there they are.- The banking business is represented by the House of Lushbaugh & Carson. Per sons are very apt to sneer at the idea of a Nebraska Banker. In reference to the house of L. & C, the writer can give the assurance that they do not belong to the Wild Cat Order. On the contrary, they are gentlemen of the highest order, in whose hands no man's interest will ever suffer. They are also deeply-interested in the prosperity of the town, and have taken a very active part in the advance ment of its most solid interests. In a word, they are every way worthy of the confidence of the public, and all interests entrusted to their keeping need no guar antees. The drawback to Brownville as to nearly all our western towns, is the almost entire absence not only or schools, but o the desire to have them. Ihe intense deiire to become suddenly wealthy which pervades all classes of society, is terribly destructive to the best interests of the ris- inc: veneration. In the elder States, the establishment and regulation of school is a matter for legislation ; hence parents have only to send their children to school. In the Territories a very differ ent condition of things exist. There al depends on the parents ; and, I blush to write it, the dependence is indeed a poor one, and bodes but little good to those who are to follow us. Men seem so ut terly absorbed in the cultivation of this one idea that the best interests of their children are entirely overlooked, and in this particular Brownville has no advan tage over the neijrhborine: towns. There was a school last winter, but it was dis continued in the spring, and I am not aware of any arrangements for resuming this indispensable requisite to the success and prosperity of the town. There are some gentlemen here who are actively alive to the necessity of supplying this great want, and through their mstrurnen tality I hope to see the dawn of a better day. Onward is the word, and the time is not far distant when Brownville wil take her place in the front rank among the towns in the beautiful region in which she is situated. E. McC. "McC." has entirely underrated the educational enterprise and advantages of this city and county. The first school in Nebraska was commenced" in this city and the last Report of the "Commissioner of Common Schools" showed Nemaha County far ahead of any other county in the Territory in educational matters. For the last two years, we, in Brownville have had a school over nine months in each year. The Brownville Academy under the superintendence of Rev. T. W Tipton, is now in operation, and in a flourishing condition, and will continue hereafter each entire year, except of course usual vacation. This school is the forerunner or nucleus around which it is the intention and determination to build up the Brownville College, a chartered institution of which Mr. Tipton is Presi dent. We now have a most excellent School Law; a copy of the Ohio Law, which when thoroughly in operation, will place the Territory of Nebraska in the front rank in educational matters. Presbyterian Church. The following general view of the O S. Presbyterian Church is taken from the St. Louis Presbyterian : During the year ending May, 1859 nine Presbyteries have been organized, viz; Lewes, Potomac, Roanoke, Omaha Western Reserve, Hillsboro, Blooming ton, Saline and the Presbytery of Siam in the Foreign Mission field: th Ppp. bytery of Puget Sound in Oregon was also recognized and taken under the care or the Assembly.
