Washington Citt, D. C,
Dec. 27th, 1S61.
. Fjueittj Taylor: Your favor dated
the 15th just enclosing. a letter of the
. same date to the Secretary of the inte-
rior, only reached me last night. I re
ceived letters from the Territory, dated
five days later, on the same night. I
went this morning and delivered the Sec
retary your letter in person, and he made
an order on it to the head of the census
- bureau to furnish you the information.
It is just as I expected about the appor
tionment bill. ' The fact is j'ou will never
. pet those fellows to vote for a fair bill
when you do get the proper data upon
which to found it; I know them too well.
But you have made a gfood issue on the
adjournment question, and I have some
time ago had a resotution passed order
ing' the Committee on Ways and Means
. to so alter the Direct Tax Bill as to omit
us and hold the appropnation for Legis
lative expenses, and 1 feel very confident
that the committee will report it, and
that Congress will pass it, and what is
more the people of the Territory will en
dorse it by thousands.
. . I wish to say to you in confidence that
there can be a good thing made out of
these Saline Lands, and you shall be in a
full interest. I' believe the lands can be
' leased from Government on long time
for a small amount, and I tell you there
is money in it. I had a long talk with
. the Secretary of the Interior to-day. I
feel confident that it all can be fixed
iiuring this session of Congress.
Write me often. Nothing new here.
All think a war with England more than
probable. Mortan and Father are here
at work like McCawber hoping something
may turn up." You can talk with Bob
Furrjas about those Saline Lands. All
. is quiet on the rotomar. .Congress aa
jouraed over for the holidays.
I remain yours sincerely,
Signed S. G. DAILY,
The; above is said to be the celebra
ted letter received by W. II. Taylor
from S. G. Daily. We know nothing
w - w
whether it is the genuine one or not, and
do not care. But admitting it to be gen
uine, what of it? Is there anything pro
posed or contemplated therein which is
not a fair, legitimate, honest busine
transaction ? It is proposed to lease from
Government the Saline Lands. What for?
That they may be developed and made to
eerve an important purpose in all this
region of country; furnishing an unlim
ited quantity of salt at greatly reduced
prices ', not only to the people of Nebras
ka! but the whole Northwest. Have not
these lauds been known since the settle
ment of the Territory ? Have they been
of any material benefit to the country V
Are they likely to be while in their pres
ent condition ? Will any capitalist or
company of capitalists ever undertake to
develope end make them useful until they
can have some assurance, permit, or au
thority from Government. Has not salt
always been high priced in this Territory?
Is it not to-day higher than ever known ?
Why should this be so, with such rich salt
springs in our midst at our own doors,
as it were ? It is so, simply because no
authority has ever been given by Gov
ernment to use these springs ; and to go
on them without authority is tresspass
ing, and the persons so doing would be
liable to indictment as tresspassers. We
Vqqw it ts claimed that settlers can now
jo there, and make their own salt. So
they can, and have done fo. . But can
Rny such be found where salt did hot
really cost them more than even the
present' high , selling, prices ? Why ?
Simply because .to manufacture the salt
the Tawyer to spend years to qualify him
self for his piofessicn; the capitalist to
build boats and navigate our rivers, and
to construct railroad and other internal
improvements throughout our land ; the
farmer to secure in this country his one
hundred and sixty acres of land, it the
low price of $1,25- per acre, but the
belief that there is "money in it I" . Is any
sensable man able to discover the "nig
ger in that wood pile ?IL-. . -T. -rrr
But there is another view to be taken
of this matter. It is this... If the VrtY
turns indignation" of W, H. Taylor was
aroused to the extent . he nov claims,
when he received this letter, why did he
not make it public Mm? "He has kept it
in his pocket srace December last near
ly a year and never found out that his
virtuous indignation" was fully aroused
until since he was beaten before the Ter
ritorial Convention.' It is true he felt
the ;,spirit move" him somewhat at the
Convention held in this County for the
purpose of electing delegates to the Ter
ritorial Convention. Mr. Taylor was
present and had a friend read that letter
before the County Convention. The re
sult was that many who really intended
to have voted for Taylor Delegates, des
troyed their tickets and voted for Daily,
men. .
Still another view. What could have
been Taylor's object in writing Daily in
regard to these Saline Lands? What
could have been Taylor's object in desir
ing the entries of these Saline Lands
cancelled ? Two or. three fold, undoubt
edly. He hated Morton, who had suc
ceeded by certain ho-cus-po-cus, in enter
ing most of it, and was simply at work
scaring the hen off, that he might have
an opportunity of sucking the eggs him
self. Mr. Taylor wanted ila full inter
est" ' in that "good thing," without a doubt.

The friends of Judge Kinney are just
now busy in showing up the honest, chris
tian, loyal qualities of that gentleman.
And as these same gentleman are loud
UUU lUUiJ III 1 1 lei t utc iu man i-uuii ai-io,
&c, we propose to contribute an item in
that line.
This same Judge John F; Kinney
then of Nebraska, now of Utah in 1657
in connection with other parties obtained
from the General Government a contract
for carrying a weekly mail from Brown
ville to ton Kearney, ine man was
not carried over that route over a half
dozen times. In fact we cannot find any
one who knows of its being carried more
than once. At that time contractors were
allowed to enter as mail stations one sec
tion of land at every twenty miles. The
distance from Brownville to Fort Kearney
was received in that contract at 210 miles,
Kinney received seven thousand six hun
dred and eighty acres of land for carry
ing six times. There is a land specula
tion for you. How do the "honest set
lers alonsr the line from here to Fort
Kearney like it ?
How this could be done we leave our
readers themselves to conjecture. By
some 'honest christian" maneuver, we
suppose. That the above are facts, how
ever, we refer to any and every settler
of this placj and those along the contem
plated route -at the time, and the Land
Office Books in Brownville.
But the matter does not even stop there.
Kinney entered these mail stations with
Land Warrants borrowed from the rebel
W. R. W. Cobb, of Alabama, and Was
to deed to Cobb part of the lands thus
entered, as a consideration for the use of
the warrants- In the year 1SG1, when
the rebellion broke out, John F. Kinney
deeded all these lands, particularly those
belonging to the rebel Cobb, to his son-in-law,
Julian Metcalfe. For what pur
pose, think you, honest, loyal Nebras
kians! For what purpose were these
lands thus deeded ? Why not deed them
to Cobb, as originally agreed upon!
Then the General Government could have
confiscated them as rebel property; noiv
they are shielded from the operations of
the confiscating act. Could there have
been any other object in view than to
protect rebel properly I We ask honest
voters to look these facts square in the
ace.
which we may participate during the war
or our term of enlistment. ,
We have been on two tramps this side
the Mississippi, but effected nothing.
Drill, guard and fatigue, gire us daily
employment. No regiment in the service
east or west, it is said, has endured the
hardships of campaigning better, nor ac
complished more active service than ours,
since it entered the field of activity; and
iiitre -remain in -the service until" our
three years wind up, under, the efficient
management- of bur present Lieut. Col.
.Livingston, no regiment. wiU be better
drilled in -the "manual" and "evolutions

ranked us next to his own regiment, the

ahead, for fighting qualities.'
-Officers have been detailed and sent to
the Territory to recruit for this regiment
It is hoDed thev will soeedilv succeed.
. ;
Nebraska ought to. be. so proud of this
regiment the only one in the field bear
ing her name that she should take pride
in filling un its decimated ranks. And
the young men and middle aged of Ne
braska, cannot join a regiment of better
reputation; and when this war is over
and peace shall rule, that man will have
the respect of the community in which he
resides, who can justly say that he belong
ed to the Nebraska First! ,
We are encamped in one of "God's
first Temple's," on a hill which slopes
easterly toward the "Father of Waters.'
It is said that the Arkansas sunsets are
beautiful in the extreme, but we cannp
behold their splendor, for the hills to the
westward rise high in the air, and the
grand old oaks of a thousand years
spread their arms heavenward, and in
tercept our view of the golden hair which
floats in wavy lines, and charming ring
lets around the glorious brow of evening
fair. Half of our time will soon have
expired, and we will not be. sad-hearted.
Joyful will we be when again we can
breath the pure air of the boreal clime,
and press the soil as yet unpolluted by the
tvrants nresence. and the blight of the
nation. I wonder if, in the coming win
ter, during the long evenings, when the
fire burns cheerily mocking the chilling
wind which shrieks on the hill, or howls
over the moor ; and the happy social cir
cle are seated around enjoying peaceful
bliss, I wonder if any of this regiment
will be missed, if any seat will be found
vacant, if any, any heart will swell with
the emotion which knows no utterance,
when the eye rests on the place once
filled by another ? .
Many have fallen, and many yet shall
go to "that bourne from which no traveler
returns."

1r. Editor : Not having, seen any let

Again" in the columns of your paper for

in the language of common parlance
he is "played out." Biit ere he eme'rges

be supplied by the present writer.
As you are doubtless awn re our present
locality is in the vicinity of . Helena, Ark.,
where we have already been well nigh
six weeks and that since we arrived the
regiment has been transferred from Gen.
Wallace's to Gen. Steele's division, a
transfer , which is not very, popular with
the. men. We have been commanded by
no General who pleased us so well as Lew
Wallace, although he seemed tousavery
strict disciplinarian. ' His management
f his division, to which we belonged, on
the justly celebrated bloody battle fields
of Donelson and Shilo, gained our entire
admiration, and, though he is energetic
apd daringi we would be well satisfied
to be in his command in every battle in

The Tribune regards the emancipation
proclamation as the beginning of the
end of the rebellion and as the beginning
of anew life of the nation.
The Herald Considers it the most im
portant document since the adoption of
the federal constitution, and says the grav
ity of this proclamation will strike, every
one. It has been forced upon the nation
by the abolitionists of the Norr
secessionists of the South. It
an overwhelming revoltion in
of labor, the importance of which is hot
confined to the South, but will be felt in
the North and West.
The Times says the wisdom of the step
is uneuestionable anl its necessity indis
putable. Its adoption now is not a con
fession that the military means forsup
pressing the great rebellion have proved
a failure, but simply that there is a point
at which any other legitimate appliances
that can be called in. shall also be availed
of. r

A dispatch from headquarters of the

to be 20,000, and since the invasion of
Maryland they have lost 30,000.

This gentleman addressed a
of our citizens at the Court House last
night. He gave in his adhesion to the
'gentleman from Utah ;" but wound up
his remarks by giving it as his opinion
that Mr. Daily was, after all, l,a clever
ftlhw."
It was a harmless affair, all round, and
f Judge Kinney and his friends do not
complain at the result, we are quite cer
tain that we shall not.
It was evident that the sympathies of
the meeting were with Mr. Daily a
fact which Mr. M. discovered early in
the evening, and had the good sense to
"take in sail" a3 gracefully as possible
Judge Kinney followed with a brief
