The Editor of the Advertiser has ' teen at Omaha for several weeks. He will remain there until after the adjourn ment of the Legislature. England. The latest Eastern papers and tele grama we have seen, represent the atti- ' fade of. the English Press und Govern ment as in an anjry mioi toward- the United States. A war, however, is not considered imminent. Tarty spirit, and ambition for political power exists to "as gfeat extent in England as in the Uni ted States. Ever since the time of tbe Charleses there has been two parties in England the Whigs and the Tories. The Tories are the aristocratic party, the so-called conservative party. The Whigs are the progressive party. The Whig party is now in power in Eng land.' It has always been mere favor- able to "America and Republican prin ples than the Tories. The present ' opportunity i seized on ty the Tory leaders to- manufacture capital for the purpose of regaining power. The Whig press-is divided some papers siding with, the United States ; but others, to ''take the wind out of the sailes" cf the ; Tories, vie with the latter in their bitter nr? au insolence toward this Govern- merit. , The political leaders und the newspa pers "of." England are fast nanvfacfu ring public opinion, in favor of a war with the United States. If the Erglish Government really wants war, a pretext can'soon be trumped up. The action of - this Government in giving up Mason and Slidell, will satisfy the world that we are willing to make any reasonable conces sions . for the sake of peace. This act, (though-if seems in some respects hu miliating to American pride,) is only carrying out a principle we have conten- 3ed" f cr for mere than sixty years. Eng land, however, by this settlement, does . not gain any moral advantage. She has always claimed the right of search. She has exercised it within the last three years upon American vessels. She now " shows to the world that she is not wil ling to grant to others what she claims for herself. France, no doubt, would be neutral in case of a war with England. She would lopk on with as much complacency as the 'rnan did at the fight between his wife and the bear. She would cry, Go it Bull ; go it Jonathan !" For it would, doubtless, jnake France the great commercial na tion. At present two-thirds of the com tnerce'of the. world is carried on by the ships of England and the United States, and a war would sweep most cf it from the seas, and give profitable employment to- the Emperor's navy, which has been grooving so rapidly in the last ten years the machines they . employ, beside the customary toll, in many instances." waste one fourth of the balance. They are not able to stock their farms, but are ne cessitated to sell their grain when the market is the lowest if corn sells but for ten cents a bushel, they must exchange it for clothing for "their children. Many of this class will neyer be able to live in a better style, unlets a very for tunate year should "give them a lift." It would be nonsense to advise such to 'build a barn." It would be a physical imposibility for them to do it. "Blood cannot be extracted from a turnip." But men who arejille to buy three hundred and twenty acres of land, and to fence and cultivate eighty or a hundred acres, could, if they had purchased but eighty acres, and farmed but thirty of it, have built a barn sufficiently large, and yet have made as much money as now. And in ten years they could have owned more land, (even if they did not enter it at Govern ment price,) than they will at the end of that time by the present system of farm ing. - ' The Ncre. Frcn cur latest papers we glean the following items: Carl Schurz, Minister to Spain, has resigned to take a command in the army. The rebels are expecting an advance of our army along the wholeline. They are more than ever demoralized by dis cords among tneir public men. General Magruder is believed to have been relieved of his command at York town, and General Wise, who has been quiet since his return from Western Vir ginia, is expected to assume command there or at Frederick. A dispatch from Columbia, South Car olina, dated. January 1st, by way of Fort ress Monroe, says: "All the Yankee prisoners from Charleston, including Col. Corcoran, arrived here this afternoon iu a special train. They were met at the depot by a confederate guard of this city and conducted to jail. The Charleston .Mercury has a dispatch statins: tnat a lare federal torce had anded on the cost of Edisto, and the seizure of station No. 4, on the Charles ton and Savannah railroad. Sixteen war vessels are off Ship Island. A destructive fire occurred at Rich- mend, burning the theatre and. other aluable property. Gen. Lane, of Kansas, is making preperations for the active campaign on which he will soon enter. The Richmond Dispatch cf the 27th ult., says: A private dispatch received here, dated Mobile, says that Picayune Butler is at Ship Island, and that the Federals have nominal possession of Be- oxi, and it is believed they will occupy all the towns on the coast in that region. They captured two cannon at Beloxi. It is stated that they landed there from five to seven thousand troops ; and it is fur ther rumored they express a determina- lon to push forward their forces to Jack son. News from the Nebraska Regiment. We have permission to publish the fol- owing extract from a letter written by Mr. Polock, cf the First Nebraska Reg iment, to his wife in thia city. Mr. Ps etters and rrjwspap'er cdmniunications were always interesting; and we hope he will in future keep the Advertiser posted with regard to the mcvemeats of the Nebraska FiTst. BARNS. Why is it there are no barns in this Territory ? In all of the Middle States even among the very first settlers, a barn was considered indispensable by every farmer.. Farmers, from New York and Pennsylvania, who emigrated to the then Far West, built a good barn before, they, had a comfortable house.- Buthere, no matter where the emigrant is from, "he never thinks of building a 'barn. Yet barns are just as important here as anywhere else. We have not yet seen a good barn in this Territory .- We have been told that Mr. Strong has one in the . southern part of this county ; and we are also informed that there are one or two in Cass county, but as a gen . .eral thing there are no barns here.' The reasons are: The scarcity cf timber and the high price of lumber, and the want of eufucient capital on the part cf our far mcrs. One great calamity in thisTerritory is that so many canie here who are not able to carry on the business of a farm in a manner to be profitable. Another trou U i. tbfy try to farm too much land thus depriving themselves of all money for improvements, and for stocking their farms. The consequence is that one half cf our farmers are scarcely able to pro cure the necessities cf life for themselves and families. They are barely able "to ' make both ends meet," and are constantly htrrassed, like a "toad under a harrow,' until life is almost a burden. They are always compelled to work to a disadvan t?ge.. Their crops are improperly "put iu," and still worse harvested. They must be content with a "three-rail fence," end loose a portion cf their crop by their neL-Mor' cr their own stock. They loose a fcurth of their wheat by its get li:;g wet ia the stack ; and when thrashed, From Kentucky. There are rumor's of a fight in Ken tucky on the 31st ult. General Buel ordered to Green river a regiment of fusileers and a regiment of light artillery before he went forward. Buckner's cav airy were within a short distance of our pickets on the 30th, and it is supposed that he intended attacking McCook in force, to destroy the Green river bridge, and retire. All of the regulars were thrown across the bridge early on the morning of the 30th. A correspondent of the St. Louis Dem ocrat, writing from Tipton under date of January first, says : "There is no move ment of troops reliable, except two regi ments which are to be ent to Lexington. The rebels have complete possession of it, or had two days ago. Much sickness prevails throughout the entire camps, and there is a feeling of deep discontent for want of action. Tbe Legislature, Adjours to-morrow. But few bills had passed bc4h Houses at the date of the latest intelligence received from Omaha. At previous sessions it was seldom that a bill got through both Houses ready for the Governor's signature, until the last week. This winter an unusual number of pri vate bills have been presented ; a majority for the benefit of citizens living in the middle and northern portion of the Ter ritory. Charles F. Adams, Jr. who holds the post cf First Lieutenant in a Massachu setts cavalry regiment, is the son of our present Minister to England, grandson of the sixth President, and great grandson of the second President of the United States. Hot asd Cold. It was amusing, when Chandler and wife rode into town, the other day. to see persons rush up to shake nanas with them, and exclaim, "Why how are you, Mr. Chandler?" and ten minutes later, when the soldiers made their appearance, to hear the same indi viJuals cry "Shoot .him! Shoot him!' and to see them hop around to get horses ana sixcdles for the troops to go in pur Ull. IxUUSaS UilKJ. Our merchants are now dclng a big business ia the pork trade. GkoeGETOW.', Three Miles North of Sedalia,) December 22d,1861. f : . - - "Capt. Thompson has arrived, and will take command of his company to-morrow. , We are now in winter quarters in this town; but we march more than we ever did before. On the 12lh we marched northwest over twenty miles came back on the 13th at night. On the 15th at daylight we were on the march south west, to intercept some rebels that were marching south from Lexington to join rice, who is somewhere on the Osage river. At night on the 16th we had got ahead of them, and all through the fore- art of the night we could hear the firing between our advance guard and theirs; ut in the morning they had given us the slip, and by traveling all night they got away from u not however until we had tilled and wounded several of them, and taken over SO prisoners. The 17th and 8ih were spent by us hunting around for them, and on the 19th we started to come back. In the course of the day we heard of a party of 1,300 who were trying to get to Price, so we took after them. When our men overtook them, the rebels fired two rounds and gave up. We cap tured about 900 of them ; the rest es caped. We had one man killed and several wounded The rebels had two killed that we know of, and some, woun ded. During night of the 19th the weather urned colder very rapidly. We marched all day on the 20th through a rolling prairie region, and oh, it was terribly cold. An Indiana regiment was guard ing the prisoners, and 100 Nebraskians were guarding and taking care of the saddle-horses and team3.: There were about 80 saddle-horsei, and 65 wagons with from two to four horses or mules. Yesterday, the 21st, we reached our quarters in a snow storm, and so ended that expedition. How long we will re main this time I know not. We may not march for several weeks, but it would not surprise us to get orders to march in two hours. Such is a soldier's life I These rebels are the most boastful, ignorant men that I ever saw. They talk and sing cf fighting until the last man is killed, yet the best of them only fired two rounds some did not shoot at all and then threw down their guns and surren dered. They talk of fighting us three to one, yet the party that we tried to inter cept, and which had nearly as many men as we had, after marching all day marched all night and all next day to get away from us. They say that Price will soon drive us out of Missouri, yet Price will not stay but a few days in one place for fear that we will catch him. Such is Missouri chivalry ! I think it is time they would fight more, or boast less. The weather is moderate snow dis appearing very fast. W6 are all in good spirits, and anxious to be or dered after Price, who is still south of the Osage river." OMAHA CORRESPONDENCE- From the Legislature. COUNCIL. Omaha, Dec. 30.

The events cf 1SG1 will form one of the most interesting epochs in our history. It will show to the world an in stance of in :nity unheard of a nation of unapproachable prestige attempting its own destruction! But of these things I will not now speak. . The new year came in about the same as all new years. The difference I could not see, and pre sume this was the case with many others. Wishing a peaceable, and prosperous year to yourself and your readers. I will ay something about what is going on at the CAPITAL. The most interesting of which is of a Legislative character. The "wheels of the machine" are rolling on, the hubs of which seem to be getting pretty hot. The session is winding to an end to the delight of the members. As yet I can not record rrich of interest. The most of the forty Jdavs has been spent in LOCAL LEGISLATION. lou will remember that 1 gave as an opinion that there was little disposi tion manifested in favor of local acts, &c. I regret to state I was deceived in the "animal." He is about all "ears," and as -full of life as in the early settlement of the territory. When will this kind of Legislation cease ? THE APPORTIONMENT BILL, Has been, the last week , d iscu ssed with much feeling in Council and House. Taylor and Sapp, members of the Coun cil, came near a knock-down the other day while debating the bill. Mr. T. is an able advocate of ! the rights of the people of Nebraska, and will, no doubt. be amply rewarded for his labors in their behalf. Allen of Washington, and Holladay of Nemaha, in the House, "locked horns" on the Councilman bill last Friday. am informed the atmosphere for awhile turned blue, and a fight seemed inevita ble. The gentleman from Washington was compelled to make the necessary apology. There is no avoiding a sectional con test for Congress next fall. Let South Platte stand by her own men, and if we have a session of the Legislature next winter, -let the members of the same South of the Platte elect as officers her own men. This is the doctrine. If we do not look after our own interests North Platte will not. Omaha is a great place, but her greatness consists in self ishness and concentrated meanness. A BILL FOR AN ACT TO PROVIDE REV ENUE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. This bill is now printed and laid on the table of the members. It k the work of a Joint Select Committee, appointed by the Council and House of Representa tives, consisting of Sapp and Bennet on part of the Council,- and Bowen, Croxton and Barnard on part of the House. It is a long bill. Said to be a better law than the present. Should it meet with discus sion, or the least opp sshion, it will no pass, as only five days are left of the session. Important general bills ought not to be put off until the last hours. The practice should be condemned. JOHN TAFFE, PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL, Is a native of:the "Hosier State," and gives his age as 33 years; a lawyer, and a single man. Mr. TarTe seems a good man,' with more than ordinary abil ity, and is one of the. leading citizens of Northern Nebraska. He i3 a careful and gentlemanly presiding officer. A. D. JONES, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, Hails from old Pennsylvania, 45 years old, a married man, and a mechanic. A. D. is well know to the citizens of your city as a shrewd, keen, business man. He is one of the old inhabitants of Nebraska. As a speaker he is, I think, a little too hasty, and at times too petulant; but, notwithstanding, conducts the business of the House with commen dable speed and correctness. The oldest man in the Council is C. Blanchard ; the youngest is T. M, Mar quette. In the House Samuel Eikenber ry stands first as to age; R. M. Haga man is the youngest, and according to your correspondent's judgment is the most handsome. No one can select the ihomliest, as there is such a similarity in this respect. MEMORIAL AND JOINT RESOLUTION REL ATIVE TO DIVERTING' THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS TO DEFRAY THE LEG ISLATIVE EXPENSES, ETC. This Memorial and Joint Resolution, which looks to the relief of the tax pay ers of Nebraska, introduced by Dr. Hol laday of Nemaha couaty, some time ago, was taken up Saturday the 4th, and put on its passage after a short time spent in speaking. I have not the vote by me now, but will send it the first chance in order that your readers may see who are in favor of economizing at this perilous juncture in the affairs of our Territory and Nation. Here gentlemen have no ex cuse for opposing the Memorial. By the way Crow, Crother and Reid, of Nema ha, voted against the passage of this Memorial. One of these gentlemen, Mr. Crother, s-tid 'Ae mould vote against thisx or any other Memorial of the kind, for s.tven years, exactly !' He must certainly think ihe people of your county are going to elect him again to the Legislature. If he doe3 continue to represent you for seven years, I hops he will, at the end of that time, learn how to sustain a bill cf economy and cf vital relief to the people cf the entire Territory. I cannot see how men can sacrifice the interest of the people on the merest pretext. It is said that those who voted in the negative on the Memorial, done so in order that they might be members again next winter ; but if the voters of the various" counties understand themselves, they will vote for said gentlemen to "stay at home." The man who would be moved by such mo tives ought not to be trusted. This, I believe, will be the decision of the next ballet-box. HON. JOHN M'PHERSON,' Of the Nemaha Councilman District, stands up like a man for the interest of South Platte against the unjust and un fair treatment of, especially, the Omaha members of the Council. It is not roing too far when I say the "Dock"'' makes an excellent member; and if he errs, it will be owing. to the "head and not to the heart." GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION. Governor Saunders ha3 issued a Proc lamation against marauding bands known and styled "Jayhawkers." The Gov. cannot at present send you arms, but will as soon as he can obtain them. It is to be hoped all such excitement may speed ily subside. The people here think the "fuss" without sufficient cause, and-be-lieve if .your city and county could be rid of secession sympathizers, no " Jayhawk er" wrould be seen in that part of th Territory. But the citizens cf Brown ville have now "got their foot into it" whether it could be avoided or not, I am not able to say and the consequences may be, in the end, quite serious. Get ting between two fires is a dangerous position. As I understand it, your people are exposed to the mercy of both Union and Secession Jayhawkers. Now, if a band of Missouri secession thieves visit you, can you expect aid from the Union Jayhawkers, even if they are in your city ? Therefore, it is conclusive that you are emphatically in a "tight place." I am not surprised to hear of Jeff. Davisites in any part of the Territory becoming terribly alarmed at the appearance of Union troops or of Union Jayhawkers. It is really galling for Union men to be required to protect, guard, or in any way defend the property of those men whose whole sympathies are for, and with, the demons who are arrayed against the Government. The time has. come for men who desire the triumph of the South to leave our borders. Union men cannot live in the South, and traitors in word, or act, should enjoy no longer the protec tion of our laws, nor the aid of Union citizens to stand guard over their prop erty. We have too many Union men only for the sake of getting the law and the people to protect them. You may have just such men now in your commu nity. It would be well for you to be on the lookout for these would-be traitors if they had half a chance. They may give you more trouble than Union Jayhawk ers possibly can. Put not your trust in men who exult'ed on the downfall of Sumpter, and ever since rejoiced at the defeat of the Federal arms ! These are mere hints, and cost you nothing. Pawnee. wrml.t afford a -pretence fcr every con ceivable deed of blcod, and under its color and cover, assassins and cut-throats could carry on their heJlkh work, with no fear of punishment, or motive forsecresy. One of the most singuUr features of this measure is that it comes before our Legislature backed with the pentioa cf some two hundred citizens of Nebraska City, wh have banded themselves to gether, for the purpose cf carrying its heathenish provisions into execution. Such a Jacobin club may flourish in the atmosphere cf that place, but will meet but little encouragement here, where the sound of church bells is heard, and where men respect, if they do not profess reli gion. A3 between Jayhawking in its worst phase and the anarchy and wholesale murder which this measure would digni fy with the solemn sanction of law, we much prefer the former. Omaha JV braskian. Loss cne million dollars. Q"icr, JL3. i The War for the Union. A Fragment from the Dark Ages. We were astonished on Monday upon learning the terms of a bill introduced into the Council, having for its title "An act for the suppression of Jayhawking." Sec. 1. Provides that all armed bodies of men consisting of two or more, who shall commit any theft, shall be deemed guilty of land piracy, and upon conviction shall suffer dath- See. 2. Provides that any person who shall feed or harbor such persons shall be deemed accessory before the act, and shall, on conviction, suffer death. Sec. 3. Reads : That it shall be lawful for any person or persons to kill, slay, and destroy by all and every means known for taking life, any armed person or persons who shall, at the time of such killing, be engaged in plundering, or stealing,, or robbing, or attempting to forcibly take and carry away any proper ty belonging to another, or while secre ting, removing, or driving away, or at tempting to place any property or stock beyond the reach of the owner. Was anything more atrocious ever conceived by the mind of man ? Its re fined cruelty and barbarity is worthy the bloody days of the Spanish Inquisition. We have no particular objection to the death penalty, and we are in favor, when the law fails, cf the people taking upon themselves the responsibility of punishing crime in manner calculated to defend their lives and property ; but at such times the awused should be given a fair and impartial trialjbef ore the people, and it should never be undertaken while there is the least shadow of popular passion or prejudice against the prisoner. But the idea ef allowing every man at pleas ure to become an executioner, and em powering him to administer the terrible punishment of the law, without even the shadow of a trial, is too great an innova-J tion upon the custom of the times; too glaring and complete an abrogation cf every sense of justice and mercy, and too repugnant to all "the honest dictates of humanity to elicit the approbation of a savage, much le33 of men who have been reared with all the influences of Christi anity around them. In effect, thi3 law repeals our whole criminal code, and offers a legislative premium for murder; and under the in fluence of its wontoa and blood-thirsty pirit,no man's life would be safe, for it BY TELEGRAPH! Quincy, III.,' Dec. 23. The following i3 a resume of recent military operations in Missouri, obtained from reliable sources within the past two weeks: The Union army captured 2,500 rebels, including about 70 commissioned officers, 1,200 horses and mules, 1,100 stand of arms, 2 tons of powder, 100 wagons, and an immense amount of commissary stores and camp equipage. A large foundry at Lexington, used for casting cannon, shot and shells, and most of the rebel craft in Missouri, in cluding ferry boats, have been destroyed or captured. A pretty clean sweep has been made of the whole country between the Mis souri and 0age rivers, and the rebel general, Price, is cut off from all sup plies and recruits from North Missouri, lie i3 in full retreat for Arkansas with his whole army, having passed through Springfield on Monday last. Our loss in accomplishing these im portant results has not exceeded 100 killed and wounded. These are the fruits of the brilliant and the strategetical combinations of Gen. Halleck, which have been ably ex ecuted by Generals Pope, Prentiss and McKean, Cols. Jeff. C. Davis, of Fort Sumpter, Fred. Stein, of the 11th regu lar infantry, and the brave officers and soldiers of our army, regulars and volun teers. Price's emissaries were to stir up re bellion in North Missouri, and simulta neously burn all railroads bridges, sta tions, rolling stock, &c, on the 20th of this month, according to plan3 promulga ted from the rebel camp, were foiled to a great extent by the energy of Gen. Hal leck and the activity of our forces who are kept inconstant motion, notwithstand ing the severity of the weather. The damage done the North Missouri and Hannibal &. St. Joseph Railroads has been much exagerated. Repairs are rapidly being made, and both the North Missouri Railroad and Telegraph line will be in working order to Willisville to-night. Ten bridge burners have already been shot, and fifty are in close confinement, to be summarily dealt with, under Hal leek's stringent orders. In a few days, it i3 confidently expec ted, our moving columns will as euectu ally break up bridge burning in North Missouri as the rebellion has been crush ed south of the river. No mercy will be shown the scoundrels. Gen. Halleck's emphatic orders with reference to all bridge burners, are to shoot down every one making the at tempt. Major Glover has just returned from a scout in Camden county, -with ten wagon loads' of subsistence, a rebel captain and 13 men, who left Price's army since hia retreat commenced. Gen. Pope's official report of the ex pedition to Central Missouri is received, but contains nothing important not previ ously received. A Washington dispatch of the 27th says, the Richmond Examiner greatly feas that the Lniteu States will surren der up Mason and Slidell. Of course, it wants our Governmenj to have war with England. A flag of truce took an immense amount of clothing from Fort Monroe down to Norfolk yesterday, for Federal prisoners. Quincy, III., Dec. 30. An official communication passed be tween Lord Lyon3 and Seward on the 27th inst. The latter says Capt, Wiikes acted on his own responsibility. Mr. Seward concludes by saying that Mason and Slidell shall be given up, in order that the principles which the Amer ican Government has always contended for may be maintained, and he hopes that England will adhere to the same policy hereafter. New York, Philadelphia' and Boston banks have all suspended specie pay ment. Mason and Slidell will probably sail for England in the America. Congressman Ely has arrived, from Richmond, having been exchanged for Faulkner. The latter, since his return to Richmond, has procured better treat ment for our prisoners. A battle is expected at Bowling Green Quincy, III., Dec. 31. The steamship Asia, from Liverpool 21st, arrived at Halifax to-day. She brought five hundred troops. Warlike preparations continued una bated. The Asiatic and Persia arrived with troop3. The Cleopatra and Persia are expected to-day. It is rumored in Paris that the Gov ernment sent a note to Russia, Persia and Austria, suggesting common aeiicn of the great powers between England and America.
