The He-organfiatlnn or Parties. Man)' hare hoped that at least during the . continuance of the vrar party lines woulJ not again be draun, So far as Republicans are concerned, they have in most place, during the last twelve months, abandoned their parly organizations. It U true, in Congress they have generally voted to curry out their principles. It is the duty .of every Congressman to sustain the measures for tyhich he was pledged to his constituents such measures as he lelieves ttrbe the best. for the' country.- The Republicans in Congress, in the laws they have passed, have carried out their well kiiovvn principles. For instance, ' t i . . I- f T ' . I they have always aavocaiea a nomesieaa law they have always sustained it; but1 Democrats, a3 long as they had power, defeated it. This law the Republicans have' passed. The Republicans hare al ways; opposed the Extension of slavery into the Territories; they ha v parsed a law prohibiting it. They have always believed that pohganoy was a relic of bar barism ; and they hve passed a law making h a crim$. They have always adrocated a Pacific railroad, and a' bill providing for its construction has passed one branch of Congress, and will shortly pass '. the other. These measures they ere responsible fcf , and they will be sus tained by. the people and by posterity.- But so far. as appointments to office were concerned, they have acted with a degree of liberality never exhibited by Demo crats tinder, any circumstances. Since the commencement of the war, Democrats have been appointed to fill offices of every grade, from a seat in the' Cabinet down to he "lowest '.office ' in the sift of the President. In . the army, more Demo crats than Republicans have received commissions as Brigadier Generals,' Col onels, &.c, Slc, In .State ofEcers, in States where the Republicans were greatly in the majority, at the elections last 'summer, .life-long Democrats' were nominated and elected by the Republicans. In" this county, containing a decided Re publican majority, two of the four mem-' bers elected to the Legislature,. were Democrats, receiving almcst the .entire Republican vote' As long as there was any hope of offices .in the army to fill, the.Democratic press were very profuse in' their flattery of President Lincoln; butTiOSQcneris.it understood that "no more Brigadier Generals are to be crea ted," then thut portion of the Democratic party, trfnch .have "from the first of the war been sympathisers with secessionists, begin to denounce him in unmeasured terms.' Nothing that the Administration does, pleases them. From reading their . articles one would hardly know that a varvas now-raging in the country.: Nothing scarcely except abuse of the Administration, can find a place in their editorials. Nothing the Administration (foes pleases them.' They find fault; with Hunter's proclamation, and still more with the President's, in which Hunter's is ueciareu voui. ui tne principal pre taxt upon which they harp, is the swin- ' dling of Government by the army con tractors. ' Their charges against the Admistration appear in very bad taste when it, is remembered that these same "men sustained the wholesale stealing of Floyd, Cobb and Toury men whose cor- 'Tuptions caused the credit of the United states' to sink so low that even a loan of S12.0C0.CCO could not be obtained even ........-. "when faying twelve per cent, interest.- It ia true there has been a good deal of "Vuindling done by contractors.' This war 'was precipitated on the country when it rvas unprepared ; the' business of provid ing for a great army could not be system atized in a day'or a month ; soldiers, ships, munitions and provisions had to be pro cured on 'very short notice, and it was .imposible to prevent dishonest men from committing fraud; as taany of these con tractors and Commissary Generals by which Government has been cheated, are Democrats as Republicans, and the re sponsibility for.' their acts-rests as much with them as with the Administration. Railroad ; but those coming, will not all settle out where they suppose the roads will pass: rather than risk the chances of getting near the Railroad, they 'will take the nearest land to the river. All our citizens who desire their friends to secure a choice of good homesteaus tdicull write to them to come as soon as possible. - Another thing that should not be neglected. The citizens of Nebraska should send letters 'to the p3pers in the States, and now is an excellent time to do it.: -Strike while the iron's hot,' or in other words, "Make hay while the sun chines." Now, is the "tiJe in the affairs" cf this Territory, which "if taken at the flow leads on to fortune." A few years ego one could not pick up a paper anywhere in the Kastem or mid die States, without finding in it a letter from Minnesota. Minnesota has a bleak coid climate, far inferior to Nebraska. The enly reason why it contains to day, two hundred thousand inhabi tants, is because cf the letters sent from there to the Eastern papers when it was first settled. 'Already citizens are receiving letters from their friends- in all parts of the Northern States, making inquiries about ?;d vantages of securir.g . Homesteads -in .Xcir'afka about the character of the " toil;-climate,, water, limber, .market, &c. In lei's than fix "months," perhaps in less 'llhih chetrany rateir-rocn as the Rjulruai bill - piVses, a larger emigration Vwiil' begin to arrive in Nebraska and Karens, than was witnessed even in ISjG or 'Z. Ths ITcmestend L?.v; plrrc-Jhi-j . Secession Sjnpaltiisers. When the rebellion wa$ being inaugu rated by the fire-eaters of the South, one element . they calculated on in their aid was their sympathisers in the North. Thay believed that the Breckinridge Democrats, and a portion of the Douglass and Bell men, would be influenced by their party affiliations toco-operate with them. In these calculations, so far as the mass of the' people in these parties were concerned, they are greviously mistaken. There is no doubt, however, but many who had been leaders in the Democratic patty were fronvthe first, and are yet, as strong sympathisers with Jeff. Davis 8c Co., as . any who have taken up arms in the South. But so strong was the popu lar feeling in favor of the Union, and the uprising of the people so tremenduous, that for a time they were either mum, or pretended .Union men, hypocritically crying for a prosecution cf the War.- But of late they have taken more cour age, and are rcw making: a great effort to perfect an organization, assuming the name cf "the Democratic Party." A portion of the Democrats in Con gress, thirteen in number, under the lead of Richardson, of Illinois, Vallanding- ham, of Ohio, and Voorhes, of Indiana, issue a manifesto which they style a "Democratic Address." Certain Demo cratic papers chime in, and, in a covert way give all the aid and comfort to the enemy in their power. We hare two such papers in Nebraska, the Omaha JVe braskian, and the Nebraska City JVetcs. We did not expect anything better from the JVetrs, but we confess we are a little surprised at the recent course of the JVe- braskian, . From the antecedents of Clark, and from the "stand he took at the opening of the war," we really thought he was a Union man. WTe fear he i3 dow influenced against his own better judge ment by some Democratic aspirant for Congress. Last fall, when Clark was a candidate for the Legislature, the JVe- braskian was very serere and bitter upon secessionists. It was constantly denounc ing the Council Bluff's Buglelor its sym pathy with traitors. But for a month past the leaders ia (he Yebra$kian contain as much disloyalty as the Bvple ever did. In the leader of May 29th it charges the Administration with ignoring the Consti tution, and consequently not entitled to any more support from the people ; it speaks lightly of the recent reverse of ihe Union army on the Potomac calls it the brilliant charge of Gen. Banks across the Potomac," it expresses "sur prise" at "the recent great ruth of loyal troops from the North to protect Wash ington," and intimates that "no other people on the face of the earth" would have djne so. Every leader in that'pa per for a month past is written in about the same strain as the one from which we have quoted. In, its leader of May 15th, it endorses what it calls a "deci sion" of Judge Swain, and argues that a man furnishing the rebels.with provisions, fire-arms, amunition and information, was not guilty of treason. This, it says, "is evidently good law." Only those, it . is contended, are traitors, who take up arms against the U. S,, or who adhere to the "foreign" enemies during a "war with a foreign country." If that is "good law" then Mason, Slidell, Yancy, and even Jeff. Davis himself is not guilty of trea son, for he is holding prayer meetings at Richmond instead of fighting at the head of his army. He has probably never ac tually shot a Union soldier. Nebraska SoliHcrs. ' Although there is in the' Union army but one Regiment of Infantry and a few companies cf Cavalry that bear the name of Nebraska, yet the deserves credit for contributing ns large a number of soldiers in proportion to her inhabitants as any State or Territory in the Union. There is scarcely a Regiment from either Kan sas, Missouri, Iowa, or Illinois, wiihou; more or less from Nebraska. In reading of Regiments from Ohio, Indiana, and other places we frequently find names of soldiers "whose home is in Nebraska.'- A friend writes us that )n the Regiment "he belongs .to,- (the Kansas Eighth,). Nebraska. In Loaned Brigade at Su Joseph, among both officers and men. there are many Nebraska boys, we know not how many, probably not les3 than 200 If as many have gone from other portions of the Territory as from Nemaha County, there are not less than Jive thousand of the hardy veterans of Nebraska now fighting in the armies of their country. Jeff. Davis bss Joined the Cliurcn of England. The reverses of the armies of the Con federate States has had the effect of mak ing 'many of them appear to seek conso lation in religion. The Southern papers abound with sermons, prayers, Sec In a cermon recently preached nt Richmond, the minister remarked that the God of Battle had deserted them since the fight at Manassas, but it was only to show the Confederate soldiers their own weakness. If they again wanted His favor, they must not be so vain and presumptuous. They must cease taking the name of the Lord in vain. . President JefJ has lately joined the Episcopalians, and appears to bo exceed-. ingly religious. The Richmoud Exam iner complains that Davis spends too murh time in prayer and not enough in fight ing. It suggests that there is a time for all things. Itsav: ' "In truth, these devotional proclama tions of Mr. Davis have lost all good effect from their repetion, are regarded by the people as either cant or evidence of men tal weakness; and have become the topic cf unpleasant reflection with intelligent men. Piety is estimable; bui energy, common sense, impartial justice, courage and industry are also qualities very use ful to rulers and to nations. It is to the diligent employment of the taculties God has given us that we obtain His blessing, and not by vain and affected supplications. When we find the President standing in a corner telling his beads, and relying on a miracle to save the country, instead of mounting his horse and putting forth every power of the government to defeat the enemy, the effect is depressing in the extreme. Wrhen the ship springs a leak the efficient captain does not order all hands to prayers, but to pumps." Prospects for Crops ana Prices la 1S63. The American Agriculturist publishes a table, made up from the observations of about one thousand individuals, scattered over all of the loyal States and territories, showing the breadth of ground sown to various crops in the different States, and the prospects for the coming harvest. Comparing the observations and opinions of these individuals, and taking the aver age as approximating nearly the truth, it appears that about one tenth more land is sown to Wheat than during 1S61, and about one-third more than an average of other years. V ' ' . The prospects for a good yield of ' Fall Wheal is said to be much better than the average for this season of the year; but Sp ing Wheat- taking the United States all over is not good. But the prospects for the whole country now seems to be that a larger crop will be raised this sea son than ever before. The scarcity of labor in the States has compelled farmers to plant less corn and more wheat. The reports furnished on Corn indicate a less amount planted than. last year. The market price this fall will depend on the season. ; If the crop should partially fail over a large portion of country, corn may bring a very fair price. But if the season is generally favorable, it will con tinue low, though probable that it will not be quite down to the present low figures. The prospect for fruit is said to be un usually good. "A 'number of years ago a free black man of Washington raised sufficient mon ey to purchase a black woman. By her he has since raised a family of six or seven children. As by law of the Dis trict the child follows the condition of the mother, of course these children are his slaves. He has, therefore, filed his claim, and asked payment from the Goverment, valuing his "piccaninnies" at $300 each." Louisville. Democrat. The above is not a correct statement of the case : The "free black man" had a wife which was a slave to a white man. He purchased her freedom. But several of their children were still in slavery. After laboring for years he accumulated sufficient to purchase them also, paying therefor the sum of 83,000. The law emancipating slaves in the District of Co lumbia gives him an opportunity to get his money back, which is all he claims. We wonder how many white men there are in the District of Columbia who will claim compensation for freeing their own children. Pollgamy to be Abolished. A Bill is before Congress which pro poses to prevent and punish poligamy. It has passed the House, but has been amended in the Senate. It remains to be seen whether or no it becomes a law. Mining prospects seem to be very flat tering, for the coming season, in the Gre gory country. Claims that were thought worthless in '59, are being bought up and worked to advantage. There is scarcely a gulch in this part of the country but what will pay from S3 to So per day to the hand, if properly worked, and men are just beginning to find out that there is more profit in working claims that will pay from ssi to fcp per day, than to be pro'pecting' the country in search of round I;c; lri;r; !any until after the Tcstcraticn. there "are mtr-seven.

" The following is a message from the President to ths Senate and House of Representatives: The insurrection which is yet existing in the United States, and aimed at the overthrow cf the Federal Constitution and Union,- was clandestinely purposed during the winter of 1S0Q and 1S61, and assumed an open organization in the form of a treasonable provisional government at Mon?gomery,'Ala., on the ISth day of February, 1S61. On the 12th day of April, IS61. the insurgents committed the flagrant act of civil war, by the bombardment and cap ture'of Fort Sumter; which cut off the hope ot immediate conciliation. Imme diately afterward the roads and avenues to this city were obstructed and the capi tal was put into the condition of a siege. The mails in every direction were stopped and the lines of telegraph cut off by the insurgents, and the military and naval forces which had been called out by the Government for the defense of Washing ton, were prevented from reaching the city by organized and combined treason able resistance in the State of Maryland. There was no adequate and; effective or ganization for the public defence. . Con gress had indefinitely adjourned, and there was no time to commence then. It became necessary for me to choose whether using only, the existing means, agencies and process which Congress had provided, t should let the government fall into ruirf, of whether, availing myself of the broader powers conferred by the Con stitution in cases of insurrection, I would make an" effort to save it with all its blessings,- for the present age and for posterity, ,. ,;; - ' I therefore summoned my constitutional advisers, the heads of all the Departments, to meet on-Sunday. the 20ih day of April, at the office of the Navy Department, and; then and there, with their unanimous concurrence, I directed that an' armed revenue, cutter should proceed to sea, to afford protection to the commercial ma rine, and especially to the California treasure ships then on their way to this coast. - I also directed the commandant of the navy yard at Boston to purchase or char ter and arm as quickly "as possible five steamships, for purposes of public de fence. I directed the commandant of the navy y?rd at Philadelphia to purchase or charter an equal number for. the same purpose.1 I directed the commandant at New York, to purchase or charter and arm an equal number. I directed Com mander Giles to purchase, or charter and arm and put to sea two others vessels. Similar , directions were given to Com mander Dopct, with a view to the opening of a passage by water to and from the capital. . ; . . I directed the; several officers to take the advice, and obtain the aid and effi cient service in Ihe matter, of his excel lency, Edwin D. Morgan, the Governor of New York,, and, in his absence, Geo. D. Morgan, William : Everets, R. M. Blatchford and .Moses HvGrinnell, who were by my directions especially empow ered by the Secretary of the Navy to act for his Department in that crisis, in mat ters pertaining to the forwarding of troops and supplies for. the public defense. On the same occasion I directed that Governor Morgan and Alexander Cum mings; of the city of New" York; should be authorized by the Secretary of War, Simon-Cameron, to "make all the neces sory arrangements for the transportation of troops and munitions of war, in aid and assistance of "the officers of the army of the United States, ' until communication by mail or telegraph should be completely re-established between the cities of Wash iugton and New York. No security was required to be given by them, and either of them was authorized to act in case of inability to consult with the other. On the same occasion I authorized and directed;the Secretary of the Treasuryto advance without requiring' security, 2, 000,000 of public money, to John A. Dix, Geo. Opydke and Richard M. Batchford, of New York, to be used by them in meeting such requisitions as should be directly consequent upon the military and naval measures for the defense and sup port of the government, requiring them only to act without" compensation, and to report their'transactions when duly called upon. . . -- ' ; : r ',: ' Several departments of the Govern ment, at that time, contained so large a number of disloyal persons that it would have been impossible to provide safely through official agents, only for the per formance of duties thus confided to citi zens favorably known for their, ability, loyalty and patriotism. The several orders issued upon-these occurrences were transferred by private messengers, who pursued a circuitous way to the. seaboard cities, inland across the States of Pennsylvania and Ohio and the northern lakes. . I believe that, by these and other measures, taken without au thority of law,1 the government was saved from overthrow. ........ I am not aware that a dollar of the public' funds 'thus confided,' without au thority of law, to unofficial persons, was lost or wasted, although apprehensions of such misdirection occurred to me as ob jections to this extraordinary proceeding, and were necessarially overruled. . I. recall these transactions now because my attention has been directed to a reso lution which was passed by the House of Representatives on the 30th of last month which is in these words ; u Resolved, That Simon Cameron, late Secretary of War, by investing Alex. Cummings ; with large sums of public money, and authority to purchase military supplies without restriction without re quiring of him any guarantee for the faithful performance of his duties, where the services of competent public officers were available, and by . involving the Government in a vast number of contracts with persons not legitimately engaged in the business pertaining to the subject and matter of such contracts, especially in the purchase of arms for future delivery has adopted a policy highly injurious to the public service, and deserves the censure of the House." Congress will see that I should be wanting fqually in candor and justice if I should leave the censure expressed in this resolution to rest exclusively or chiefly on Mr. Cameron. The same sentiment is universally entertaiqed by the heads of departments who participated in the pro- ceedin-i which the House cf Representa tives has censured. It is due to Mr. Cameron to S3y lhat, although he fully approved the proceed ings, ihey were not moved or suggested by him, nud that not only the President, but that all the ether herds cf Depart ments, were at least equally responsible with him for whatever error, wrong or fault was committed iu the premises.
