miTTP k TvTrrnmTOTPT) It. W. FURNAS. EDITOR. THURSDAY MORNING, FEU. 23, 1SC0." , FOR PRESIDENT IN 1S60, STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. Of the United States. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, ANDREW JOHNSON, - Of Tennessee. Oiitnttiris and for (lie Gold -.EroiniYllIe as an Starling Point . ; Mines. We know that blowing and pufning on . the par: of-nearly every paper on the Mis souri Rirer, as to their respective towns being the point from vi,ich to start for the Geld Mines, has become so general, that when an eastern man looks over a paper hailing from Nebraska or Kansas, in tvhich anything is said upon the subject, bis only, ejaculation is "ihaVs uhal they all say." Now, we propose to call the attention of those contemplating going to the mines from east of here, to a few facts in regard to our city, and the route from here to the mines, and then let those going to "Pike's Perk" decide for themselves as to what route they had bet ter take. Of course we do not expect those who are any considerable distance north or . south of us, on or near the river, and who have only to cross over and start a cross the plains, to come up or down the river on purpose to start from this place. Those however, , who come from the States east, across the country, by their own conveyances, or up the river, will certainly consult their own interests by leaving the west bank of the Missouri rlrer at a point from which the route is the shortest, and in every respect the most practicable; and also where supplies can be had on the most reasonable terms. Now as to the route. Brownville, by reference to a map of the country, will be found to be situated about thirty miles north of the line dividing Nebraska and Kansas; then compare our location with that of the most lucrative mines yet disco vered, and the importance of our place as to distance can easily be seen. The road from here to Ft. Kearney, at which plat e ' the route from, and all others north of, St. Joseph centre, is said, by the ' thous ands who have traveled it last season in returning, and who. had gone out from other points on the Missouri River, 10 be superior in many respects. It passes through a portion of country more dense- - ly settled for a much greater distance west ; the wood and water is convenient and inexhaustible, and tht? face of the country high and dry in comparison with many other routes. ".' Nemaha county being mote advanced . in agricultural affairs than" any other county in Nebraska; we consequently 'raise, and have for sale at cheaper rates than can be had anywhere else, the staple supplies needed by thore outfitting for the mines. We venture the assertion 'that there is no other point at which corn, meal, flour, beans, lard, butter, potatoes, bacon, &c, can be had at more reasonable . 'rates than in . Nemaha count)'. As to ; "other supplies, and mining implements, i . out business men have at least equal fa-1 . cilities with those at other points, and 1 can furnish on as reasonable terms. Tiie facility for crossing the river at this place is, to say the very least, unsur passed. The banks on cither side are low, . and easy of ascent xtnd descent ; the ri ver is clear of bars, snags, or other impe diments; and the steam ferry boat own . edbythe ferry company, safe, commodi- ous and provided with excellent machine ry, which altogether ensures-at all times safe and speedy crossing. Oa either side of the river at this point are extensive bottom lands, where grass starts much earlier in the spring than on the upland, and is inexhaustible. No belter place, then, can be found to recruit , stock before starting out. Immense num bers cf work cattle were purchased here from returning adventurers last stason, which, in addition to those raised in this vicinity, renders this a favorable point at which to purchase stock. Our merchants hare already supplies of almost every kind, and by first boats' will 'have their stocks complete in every respect. To those who would outfit cheap ; make ihort, quick and comfortable trips to the Nebraska Gold "Mines, we say, leave the Missouri River at Brownville. Congress. There is nothing of particular interest yet done in Congress. . Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, Chairman of the House Committse oa Territories, has been instructed to ropcrt a Home stead bill. We hops it will be more lib eral than the one he introduced last ses sion, v - . ' . Mr. Craisr, of Mo., among a number of bills pertaining to Western interests, has, we see, introduced a bill to aid in the construction of a Rail Road from the Missouri River to San Francisco, Cali fornia. Mr. Fstabrook, on the 16th, introduced a bill to enable Nebraska to hold a Con vention preliminary to admission into the Union. We do not believe in "enabling acts," but will not object seriously. On the same day, Mr. Campbell, of Penn., presented the memorial of S. G. Daily contesting the seat of Mr. Esta brook, Bingham, a Republican member from Ohio, has introduced a bill declaring null and void the acts of the New Mexico Le gislature establishing slavery. Now we will see Congressional ! interventionists show their hands. Can Keitt, of South Carolina, and Bingham, of Ohio, fuse as to the principle involved, and divide out per agreement as to its application? An opportunity will be presented to carry cut the whole programme, should the bill be fore the Kansas Legislature to prohibit slavery become a law; we understand, however, it will be vetoed. There is strength, we think, to pass it over the veto. Our Ticket. A correspondent cf iho Quincy (Hi.) Herald, writing from Nashville, Tenn., says that "although the Tennessee Dele gation to the Charleston Convention is in structed to vote for Andrew Johnson for President, that their first choice is Steph. A.Douglas.' All but three of the dele gates will vote for Douglas on the second or third ballot, and they will then make a strong effort to get Johnson upon the ticket for Vice-President. With Doug las and Johnson, the Democracy will car ry Tennessee by twenty thousand majo rity." . . The Herald's Washington correspon dent gives a list of appointments by Col. Forney, including the following Western names: John M. Barclay, of the Indiana Journal, clerk, at $2,160 per annum. R. Reisrnan, of Illinois, clerk to enter peli tions and papers in the committee rooms, at 81,800. S. C. Boyntcn, cleric to take charge of books voted to members, S1.S00. R. J. Bennett, of Ohio, clerk of stationery room, S1.S00. W. R: Lebcffy, of Minnesota, clerk of the journal of pe titions retained, S1.S00. Geo. H. Chap man, of Indiana, Land Office, $l,S0O. Isaac Straws, of Ohio, SI, 600. . PrcEnpted Lands in Somalia Co. It will be recollected that a Special Committee of tne House at tne last ses- .. sion cf our Legislature, appointed to en quire into the expediency cf reducing the Territorial tax. submitted a report in vrhich" was said to be stated "the number .cf acres cf land entered in each county in the Territory, up to Dec. 23, 1S59." In tha.t report Nemaha county was put down at having but 63,495 acres entered land ..We were quite sure this was an error, and injustice done our county. There fore, at this the earliest opportunity, we correct the mistake. By the kindness of Col. Smith, Recei ver cf the Land Office at this place, who furnishes us with the total entries in the 'District un to January 1. I860, we find - the following to be the true state of nf fairs' Total entries of the District, 309, 075 acres; " land" enterrj in Nemaha cnsr.:jr. 1.51 ,260 acrof. Douglas' Prospect We are greatly rejoiced to know that Mr. Douglas' prospect for nomination was never brighter than . at present. It appears to be generally conceded now by all parties that he will be "the man." If he be nominated upon the platform on which he now stands; has always stood, and says he will stand upon no other, "Congress, a Legislature, 'nor no human power" can prevent him being elected the next President of the United States. Greeley, of the N. Y. Tribune, has been on a lecturing tour, through the West, and writes from Davenport, under date January 29, 1S60, from which we extract the following. Greeley no doubt dislikes very much to make such acknow ledgments. We give him credit, howev er, for his candor. "I have been looking through and tak ing notes in each of the States Northwest of the Ohio, Minnesota excepted, during the past fortnight; and, though I seldom place predictions on record, I now make one which I would not have credited when I left New York. I predict that S. A. Douglas will be nominated for President at Charleston next April,' and that most of the Slave States will give him their Electoral Votes. Let these foreshadow ing be noted and compared with the events. . "I predict Mr. Douglas' nomination, in full view of the fact that a great majority of the Southern Democratic' politicians intensely hate him that Mayor Woud will have to promise to oppose him in or der to get his Hard Shell delegation ad mitted at Charleston that there will be an anti-Douglas delegation claiming seats from Illinois that many of the delegates elect even from the Northwestern States, including a majority of th )Sft from Min nesota, do not want "to nominate h inl and that Bright, Rice, Joe. Lane," &c, who have for some years labored under the hallucination that they are the lead p of ihe Northwestern Democracy, would prefer defeat with a Lecomptonite to success with Douglas. I see also that the anti-Dour?!as side will have the ad vantage in the Convention, first in settl ing the contested seats; then in framing the Platform.' But. after making allow ance for these rr.a!;e weights, I still hold the Little Giant's nomination to be all but inevitable, Mr. Douglas is still in the eyes cf the Democratic masses in the Free States, the champiou and embodiment of the principle of Popular Sovereignty bv which they were reconciled to the repudiation of tbe Missouri Compact. That repudi ation was never relished bv thein verse: nor did its manifest object commend it to their approbation. But the suggestion that each separate community, whether termed State or Territory, should be at liberty to manage and dispose of, its own negroes to. nave slavery or not have it, as ii buuuiu eu.iii was ana popuiar with the Western Democracy. And, having long recognized Mr. Douglas a3 the author, expounder and champion of that doctrine, they will net be disposed to scrutinize very nicely the Platform if he is placed conspicuously thereon.v With Mr. Douglas as their candidate, the De mocracy will contest .every Ncnhwestern State with energy, and ostcf them with confidence. They will not ccnsiJer or.3 one of them absolutely lost ur.'Jl its popi lar votes for ' President shall hive ' been cast and counted. Through all its mutations, Mr. Doug las has hitherto stood by the principle of Free-Homesteads, or the grants of quarter-sections cf the public lands to actual settlers without charge. - That principle always stronger in the Free West than any party has gained immensely in power to control votes from the pecuniary disasters of the last three years. Ihous and? who were crabbing all the land within sight of their log' cabins a" few years since, and fondly expecting to be come speedily rich by land speculation, have suddenly awaked to a realization ol the fact that their land-grabbing has ruined them, and that they have a hard chance before them of obtaining even a livelihood. To those, and to tens of thou sands beside, the homestead bill seems of more consequence than all other topics of political controversy. No other Democ ratic statesman than Douglas, unless it be Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, could hope for their support. Mr. Joe. Lane's ugly record last winter renders him con spicuously unavailable.. Mr, Douglas, on this question, could probably hold his own against a Republican ; no one else but Johnson could begin to do it. "That the events and dcvelopements of the next ten weeks may change all this I fully understand all this; but, if mat ters move along as they are now going, Mr. Douglas' nomination seems, hardly avoidable And, as an evidence that a Democrat may, for once, disobey the man dates of the Slave Power without thereby ruining himself, I am prepared to regard it with complacency." One or the Popular Sovereignty Advocates .'Wc Head About.' - A Bill to prohibit slavery in Kansas, I f .,T1. . t- is, or was ceiore tne legislature oi mat Territory, now in session. The follow ing speech was made in opposition to the passage ot tne liiu oy uiaKe or - jeuer son county, a prominent member of the Buchanan and Black order of Popular Sovereignty, Democrats. He goes the whole figure ; Constitution, Dred Scott, Louisiana treaty, and all: , Mr. Speaker: I am torry thit this farce have got into this Huuse. ' It ar a farce. ' I consider it nothun but a farce. This bill have been got up to drive some cf us to the wall, and pin us thar. They mean to do it. lins ar an nonsense, i acknowledge when they' git at me' with such nonsense thev can eel me thar (great applause.) ' Mr. Speaker: They may call me a pro-slavery man, tut 1 am not a pro-sia-very man! Slavery are here; it are here by the Constitution of the United States; it ar here by the Supreme Court of the U. S.; it ar here by a power high er than us. I shall vote agin the bill just for them ar reasons thar. (Tremendous pplause.) - - ;:" Mr. Speaker :' The. Lowsey-any treaty prohibits slavery here. The treaty per vides that Slavery shall remain in all era ar Territories formed out ov it, ontil they come into the Union of independent and sovrin States: .' Mr. Speaker: I'm in favor of Squat ter Sovrinty. I'm a Squatter Sovrinty man myself: The Democratic partiy ar a Squatter Sovrinity party ; and I aim skeer'ed out on iti You. may pass law upon law, and you can't - never enforce your law, nor free a single nigger, - Jt, can't be a law, nor skeer the great Dem ocratic party. (Laughter.) ' . Mr. Speaker; The Organic Act don't allow that Slavery are to be abolished. Slavery have no right to beabolishel here; The Constitution perhibits in. Ar ye gwyne to repudiate it ? What ar ye J ,here fur? What ar you dowing here ? What ar all this nonsense fur i Ar you gwyne to repeal the Constitution cf the U. S ? Ar you gwyne to repudiate te Or ganic Act ? Ar ye gwyne to desve the Union? (Applause.) Mr. Speaker: You -have no right to repeal the Constitution ! You hev no right to desolve the Union! You hev no right to repudiate the Organic Act ! ! Whar ar the irrepressible conflict ? It ar in this house. It hev been brought here by the Republican party i. (Loud cheers.) ' Mr. Speaker: What ar you here fur? What are you gi'ttin three dollar's, a day fur? I am here to look arter the finan cial affairs of the country. You come here to look arter the purlitical affairs. So your gwyn to make me vote agin it because I'm a Democrat. I shall not do so because I'm a Democrat, but because I oppose such nonsense you can't enforce. The treaty of Lowsyany pertecis it. Ye may go an tell my constituwancy that I am a pro-slavery man, because I voted agin abolishin slavery; but I will tell them I hain't the power, and they will be lieve, me. (Tremendous applause and laughte.)' "' : . How tliey Dissolved Uie Union. The South Carolina Legislature lately sent out a parcel of resolutions inviting each of the other Southern States to join in a disunion conference. : : r .. . , When they reached Texas, the Legis lature eyed them suspiciously. Members remarked that Texas, had had to much trouble getting into the Union to be in a hurry to get oat of it. And they .were summarily laid under the table. , - When they- reached Virginia, there was a long debate. But the Legislature finally came to the sensible conclusion, that a disunion conference could not dis solve the Union, and, if it had, that was not what they; wanted. So the resolu tions were not concurred in. ' "When, they had reached , Marylaud, the whole Legislature? rose upwith two exceptions, to indignantly spurn them as an invitation to treason, which message goes back to South Carolina-with their compliments. Cold comfort or fire eaters, this ! The Charleston Convenuon happens on the birtn day of Stephen A Douglas. Advertise your busings. 'For tli 9 "Advertiser. " Buowsville, Frs. 20, 1660. Mr. Editor : I see for the last three or four num bers of your paper, jyou have been down on Governor Black; for vetoing the bill to 'Prohibit Sir. cry in Nebraska." Now, sir, I would like to ask you a few questions., if-ynir had a servant and i.e would not obey you, would not you turn him off? And is not Governor Black servant under"" Jeems Buchanan; and must not he obey Jeems' orders ? You also find fault with. Jeems, and ycu-say he has done wrong. -Now'don't you know the Bible (or some "other book) says the King ran c'o no wrong? And aim J eems the same as Kino- over this country 1 But von sav that Jeems said, four vearj airo that "the people of a Territory, like those of a State,' &cM kc. ,Well, suppose he did say so;" don't you know there is an old saying, "Smart' men change their minds", fools never do;" and if Jeems Buchanan. and Gov. Black, and the rest of our folks have changed our minds, it is proof positive that we are smart," and are not like you and Douglas, and the rest of vour folks that slick .to the same old thing and never change. -- . - And . don't ! you know that old J udge Dred Scott, three years ago, (when-he was trying.a nigger fpr some criix e he had committed. I don't recollect what crime it was,; though,) decided that the Constitution carried slavery into the Ter ritories and protected it there?" But you say Judge Scott didn't say any 'such thing; bull say he did; and Governor Black'says he did ; and Jeems Buchanan says he did : and I guess we know more about it than y6u and Douglas does., and all the rest of your crew. You find fault with Governor Black be cause in his speeches ..here, last Fall, he said we were all' Sovereigns, and then veioecl a bill passed by the same sover eigns. You ought , to ; have gumption enough to know that he was only trying to fool some of the Black' Republicans, end get them to vote for Gen. Estabrook. Now I want you to'slop abusing Gov. Black, Judge Scott, Lee Cornpton, Jeems Buchanan, and the rest of our folks. If you don't ?iop, I'll write right straight to the Governor,' and get him to come down here and make another speech; and 1 guess she'll use you -.and Douglas both up badly; and if he should come here and make a speech and say, the "Moon was made of Cheese," I reckon you and Doug las wouldn't believe. hiin, but would stick to it that the moori was made of something else. But there are lots of us who would believe him, because vve - know he is smarter than yoa and "Douglas snd your whole tribe thrown in. ' ' . ' And don't you" know but I'm so, mad I can't write any more so I'll finish by hurrahing-for. Governor ; Black, Judge Scott, Lee Cornpton, Jeems Buchanan, and the rest of our folks. ' CLEAR GRIT.

Fcrsas, Esq., Dear Sir: After so long a' time,' I undertake to write you a few lines, ' complying with the promise I jnade you, before leaving Brownville; In doing so, permit me to say that I have not found the South al together as favorable as I expectedThis Fall and Winter, owing to the, Winter setting in so early, the frost has greatly injured the W'beat, crops ..in all cf, ihe rich grain-growing portion of ; North western Texas, thereby causing a greater rise in the price of all. kinds of grain. This, together with the immense emigra tion to Texas this season, has put every thing in the provision line extremely high and makes it haTd on new-comers, es pecially those with small means. Health is good in this part of Texas. They have had, however the Yellow Fever in the South Eastern portion of the -State, since : Is have reached here. I find a large portion' of the country unsettled; especially the Western portion. I have stopped in Denton County for the present, though I expect to settle perma nently in Southern Texas. We have fine weather for Winter, except a day or two evpry now and then. .We get occasion ally your cold winds, which are called Northers: The farmers are plowing for corn and oats, and still sowing' wheat. The people do not make money in this part by farming generally, though at such times as this, 4he. farmer does make money. It is expected by the people' cf Texas that there will be a, great rush to this country nextseason owing to the Legis lature of the State' renewing the home stead. . - There are no railroads throuah this part of the State, neither navigable streams; consequently we have quite a slow country i"n some respects to what you have in portions of the North. I would not advise any man who is doing well to break up and move to Texas, es pecially from Nebraska, for I think there are few better countries to make money or for farmers to make a living in, than Ne braska. We have a fine '-climate hi Tex as, and good health, which ges a good ways with yrcat rpany. I find a great many people from the'Ncrth in this coun try, and the most of them well satisfied, though some leave for various reasons. After all, I suppose this country only about compares with the most of others.

Buck the Social Perse cntioa Old Goins Crazy. To give our readers some idea of slate of things in Washington, we may mention the fact that the war between the Administration and the unsound members of the Democratic party is not confined to politics. - It is carried even into social life. Mrs. Douglas is admitted by all who know her to be one of the most elegant women in the District of Columbia. Mr Buchanan has not invited her to one. cf hi: Levees. He has also according to tht belief of those who know-best, -directed or requested each cf the members . of his cabinet to follow his example. - Mrs Douglas is excluded from all the honors supposed to attach; to," regular visits to fashionable state parties where cake and wine and crinoline do most abound. -Cm Enquirer.

Distribntloa of Seeds. The following extract from the Agri cultural Report of the Commissioner of Patents will explain the reason why the distribution of various 'kinds of,.domestic seeds, which have heretofore been sent out from the Patent Office, is dispensed with during the present fiscal year: "Owing to the . re luced appropriation made by Congress for agricultural pur poses for tr.e fiscal year ending June 30? 1560, the officers have been compelled to reduce its expenses and confine its action to a more limited sphere than heretofore. In doing this, it was found necessary either to decline purchasing for distribu tion the usual varieties of garden and field seeds, or to abandon the experi ment of propagating the t?a, and various oiher kinds of foreign plants and grape cuttings for which orders had been giv en. The expenses which had already been incurred in their procurement would hardly justify the office in throwimr them aside. It was accordingly deemed advi sable to apply the remainder of the funds solely to the procuring information, and preparing, the material for. the Agricultu ral Report, and to the propagation and distribution of such varieties of foreign seeds and cuttings as had already been engaged. These were of such a nature, that if thev had been distributed through out the country immediately upon their receipt, the probability is that very few of them would have reached their desti nation in a fit state for propagation. The Tea seeds', more particularly, arriv .1 i j. .i . , eu in sucn a conaiuon mat it was oi tne utmost importance tor&xnt them at once. For this purpose large propagating houses were erected on the Government ground. north of the canal. These structures now answer well the purpose for which they were inienaeci, as is exninnen by tne tact that we have ready for distribution over 30,000 well rooted ; tea plants ; 12.000 foreign and domestic grape-vines ; 900 rooted seedless pomegranate cuttings, and various foreign, medicinal, and ornamen tal plants. These will be ready for dis tribution during , the present winter and the ensuing spring." lion. R. Brown's P. 0. Address.
