JOHN COLHAPP, EDITOR. 1R0WSTILLB, TnUK?DAT FEB. 1,U!S. The War news, this week, is only im portant in the movement of troops. The only event of note near Richmond is ths destruction of an important bridge on the Weldoa railroad by a freshet, thus as sisting our army in besieging. It is re ported that the rebel Congressmen have resigned and gbnehoae; that the Archives have keen removed, and that Davis has tad the city mined, preparatory to evac uating aid blowing up Richmond. ' Thereis.no foundation fer Peace ru inora. A formidable expedition from Forts Morgan and Gaines, has gone up the Pasacgolona to a position in the rear of Mobile. ' Gen. Thomas has gone into winter quarters with his army on the Tennessee rirtr. - : Sherman's advance has reached Har deeville, N. C, and is moving on Charles ton. The rebels are reported concen trating at Bra.nchvil.ej to resist his ad vance. 'The armies of the James and Potomac have been consolidated, and Sheridan placed in command. Gen. Meade has been assigned another command. J Gen. Butler has gone home to Lowell, Massachusetts Few of our farmers doubt the benefit of a Herd Law fof the back counties, where timber is scarcer than along the Missouri and its tributaries; and none, with whom we have conversed, think it would be advisable or profitable to have such a law in ftrce in this county. We understand, frora Omaha, hat the Gene ral Herd Law, will be killed in the House, even should it pass the Council. A special Bill may be introduced for this County, as a majority of the members from Nemaha are in favor of such a law. It would be well, we think, for the resi dents in each Precinct to show, by peti tion, their opinion and instruction to their representatives in Omaha ; this should be dsne within' the" coming week, and the petitions forwarded immediately. " The citizens of Johnson 'county, we learn, have already raised an amount, by subscription, nearly equal to the sum rshich it is proposed to' loan them. To .build a'good "substantial bridge across the Big Nemaha will coft between $4,G0Q and 55,000. The benefit to this county which will result from it, is sufficient to warrant us in advocating the loan, and to warrant our Commissicners-if au thorized by Legislative enactment to make it. Heretofore all trains going from this county to Fort Kearney or farther have had to go a 'day's journey out of their way to get on the Nebraska City road. This has made the price ef Corn and other pr- duce higher the earer it might be to that road. To illustrated by. one instance: Dr. McPherson had, last rpring, 1000 bushels of Corn, for which he was offered 18 cents more than he re ceived if he would deliver it upon the road leading from Nebraska City ; here was a clear loss, to one man, of S1S0; and .we know . that, last spring, while . the price of Corn, west and south of this city, was from &0c to 81, farmers above Peru jeadJly sold their Corn for form SI to 1,15 per bushel. - Freighters and Contractors, who do their shipping with oxen, know too well the value of lime to payas much for Corn one days travel farther frona its destination as they would .were it that much nearer'. If this bridge at Tecumseh' is bnilt and it mutt be -this difficulty will be entirely vercome ; our roads will be as direct ami near and as good as from any point on the river. A direct Western outlet must be had; the profit on what is shipped East is as 'a drop in the bucket' compared with what oea West ; and.no one, with the slightest knowledge of the facts, can help but see its advantages, to the whole county.. We hope our Delegates in the Legislature will do their utmost to pass the act required, and, ic the meantime, the citizens of the county would do well to express themselves upon this subject by petitions or otherwise. . . The Pay-master, for this Department, has gone West to pay off the troops at Ft. Kearney and other points. . This will give the. Nebraska Veterans an. agreea ble surprise when they return from their acout ; such a one as they long have ought, and mourned because they found it cot. . i e i " The Bill for the payment of the Militia has passed both branches of the Legis ture, and been-signed by the. Governor, who ii now East negotiating a Lean to carry cut its prorisic::.: : We will- pub lish the'Eill next week. . . - We cannot give a synopsis of the Leg islative Proceedings this week, as our exchanges from (Jhaha are cnly scatter- 1E. f"A TbeetiDir oFilie citizens oT Brown- ille and Ti'cioity was held ia this city, Tuesday, Jan. 17th, 1565, to consider and devise means ta further the project of building a Railroad from Keokak, Iowa, to Brownville, Nebraska. The meeting was numerously attended, v the citizens and business men f 'he com munity, and great interest uas manifest ed ill the subject. The meeting was callsd to order by the efftion of Dr. John McPhersoa, I Presidentj and Chas. G. Dorse;, Secre- tary. . The President stated the object of the meeting to be to devise and agree upon some plan by which wt cay secure more direct railroad communication with the East. He thought it practicable, and be, lieved that cot many years hence we would have a railroad to Keokuk, and be within two dav's travel of Chicago. He advised promptness and energy of action, and believed that it was only necessary to glance at the map to per ceive the need of such a road as well as its feasibility. He thought that the Sen ators and Represtntatives in Congress from Missouri and Iowa wcnld co-operate with cur own Delegate in Congress to further the enterprise; and that we might npw, as a'first step, in that di rection,, secure tha establishment of a daily rrml from Keokuk to Brovvnville. H. M. Atkinson, Esq., then addressed the metting, urging prompt action in the premises. He believed that the abolition of Slavery in Missouri would give a new impetus to enterprise in that State ; and that, ere long;, the whole of the Northern portion of Missouri would be filled up by an industrious, loyal and tnterprising people, Who would, heartily aid in the proposed enterprise. Other prominent citizens addressed the meeting at length. When the follow ing resolutions were introduced ani'unan imously adopfed ; Resolved, That the wants of the peo ple, occupying the vast and fertile region of country composing the Northern por tion of Missouri and the Southern por tion of Nebraska, require and demand direct and speedy communication with the East by Railroad, as a Jiieans of transportation for the vast quantities of produce raised in this region as well as for the shipment of goods required for its use. Resolved, That a Railroad starting from the City of Keokuk, in Iowa, tra versing the Northern portion of Missouri and terminating at the City of Brown ville, in Nebraska, would supply the' wants, in that respect, of-all that region, and would furnish a sufficient outlet Eastward. Resloved, That the establishment f a Daily Mail from Keokuk, Iowa, tt Brown ville, Nebraska, and traversing the North ern tier of counties of Missouri, would furnish mail facilities to that region f country which have been long' needed, and would be the first step toward ' the building of said railroad ; And we earn estly request our Delegate in Congress, and the Senators and Representatives in Congress from' Missouri and Iowa, louse their influence for the establishment pf such Mail. Resolved, That the Secretary procure the publication of the proceedings of this meeting in the Nebraska Advertiser, and that the Rockport Herald and Keokuk papers be requested to copy ; and that a copy of the newspaper containing the proceedings be sent to our Delegate in Congress, and to each of the Senators and Representatives ia Congress from Missouri and Iowa. The meeting then adjourned. J. McPHERSON Pres. C. G. Dorset, Sec. A meeting of the citizens, of Nemaha County, was held in Brownville, on the 26th day of January 1865, to take , ac tion in relation to the improvement of the road west from Brownville. : The meeting was largely attended, and much interest was manifested in the subject, by all present. The meeting was called to order by the appointment of Jonas Hacker President, Chas. G Dorsey, Sec. Dr. John McPherson addressed the meeting, setting forth the advantages to the whole ccunty, of having a good road westward ; he said that our farmers had not for. several years, realized as much for their grain as it would have brought in any county north of us, and that this was owing . solely to the fact that no freighting had been or could be done from here directly westward, untii we could make a good road. We had even lost the trade of the western part of our own county for that rea'son. We had now a good bridge across the little"' Nemaha in this county, and only lacked a bridge across the great Nemaha, at Tecumseh, in Johnson County.and some improvement on Main street in Brownville, t o ' make this as good an outfitting point for the gold regions, if not the best of any in the Territory. He urged ' the improvement of Main street to the western limits of the city, and thought that all our citizens and particularly our business men would lend. their aid to the work. He thought that some plan could be devised for this county to aid in the erection of a bridge ever the Nemaha at- Tecumseh in John ton county and haped it might be done. ' 1 Messrs. T. W. Bedford, Luther Hoad- ly, Theor Hill and others then addressed the meeting in favar of the proposed im provements, after, which the following resolutitus were introduced and unani mously adopted ; Resolved. That the members of the Legislature from Nemaha County be re- r'"""1 ? " -J"r. nd advocate, the! passage by the Legislature of an act to authorize the County Commissioners of Nemaha County to Loan S2,00Q to John son County to aid ia the construction of a Bridge-across the Big Nemaha river at Tecumseh,- in Johnson county. Resolved, That the Secretary furnish a copy of these resolutions to ur mem bers of the Legislature. On motion, Messrs Bedford, Dsuser and McPLersoa were appointed a com mittee to solicit a Loan to the city to aid in improving Main Street. The meeting thenaJjourned. JONAS HACKER, Pres. C. G. Dbset, Sec. Capitol Correspondence. Omaha, Jan. 22, 1865. Vr. Editor : The honorable gentle men, who had pressing engagements at home, returned to their seats on last Monday, Isoking slightly fatigued, but not more so than might have been ex pected, as some "of them had quite a trip to make. These adjournments in the middle of the session, I judge, must be great annoyance to members who do not wish to squander the forty days this way. I think myself it would evince much greater love of country for all legislative bodies, national or territorial, to abandon su;h a custom, do what is to be done and return to their homes. But, says the small-fry Nebraska law-maker ; "Con gress made the appropriation, and we uns mought jist as wall git it ! " The force of the argument is irresistable, therefore, the legislative incubation must be completed, though the breod of laws may be monstrosities, shapeless, and de formed, without head or tail, body or brmins. I - am satisfied the legitimate business could have been done, and well done too, within twenty days. A standing rule requires all bills to be considered by the Committee of the Whole, unless otherwise ordered. This rule can, with much truth, be styled the time-killer or safety-valve. Some mem bers would explode unless a fair chance was given them to "shoot off their mouths," aud thereby consume the forty days. These whales often blow a power ful volume of gas to only a few members who are engaged in listening to the woo ings of morpheus, the balance being out of tho hall, or lounging about the lobby, not realizing the fact, perhaps, that the day and the hour will . soon roll around when they must give an account of their doings before the dear people. It is settled, that a General Herd Law will not pass the House ; and your mem bers feel instructed by large petitions to advocate the enactment of one for Ne maha county. Tbey inform me no re monstrance against the law has been sent up, and the only course of action for them is to support a law of this character. Such of your citizens as are in favor pf letting their stock destroy their neigh bor's crops had better send along an op posing petition to a. Herd Lawl If this is not done; and signed by a majority, the law will be passed without a doubt ! The ''wood-chucks" will'be compelled to restrain their "animiles" from "seeking what they can devour," at the expense of their less fortunate prarire neighbors. Your Councilman and members of the House seem to be guided in their legis lation by the old Latan phrase I Pro bono Pvllico. - -They do not propose to fall at the feel of the few men who now hold the destiny of Nemana county in the hollow of their hands. . They are fully posted as to the source of opposition to the settlement and cultivation of your lands as rich as any, I am told, as ever were moistened by tha showers of Heav en ! In my humble opinion they your members are pullitg at the right string. and words of cheer should not be forgot ten, nor their hands allowed to grow weary, in thus contending for a measure calculated to make Nemaha the Eden of Nebraska ! The Law will compel the cultivation of forest and fruit trees, and live fences. This is the chief object to be attained. In order to carry out such a wise provision of the law stock must be restrained from running at large. ".In this way in a few years the cry of de ficiency of timber will not be he?rd in your county. Your lands will go into cultivation ; your county revenue also increase ; school houses, and houses de dicated to the worship of the Most High, JC found in every township, ''nook and corner," of your county ! in a word, transform and beautify every hill, valley and plain, rendering them fit and desira ble as homes for the rich, as fell as for the poor wanderer, "who hath not where on lay to hishead.?' Information has just been communica ted to. me that some ef your citizens "find fault" with v your Councilman "for not representing Nemaha county as opposed to the Herd Law on account of abundance of timber." How can this be! Are the large petitions sent from your county forgeries or falsehoods ? Or do they state facts ? The day has passed for gulling; people at a distance with the sterotyped expression : "abundance of timber, stone aad stone coal.". Admit that Nemaha possesses as much, if not more timber than any other county in the Territory, still she "needs a herd Law in order to properly develop her agri cultural resources. One day last week the Council disposed of quite a number of Mills and Dams in a few: minutes, ' some indefinitely - post poned, others postponed to t!e fourth ef July next. , Whije one of the bills was ab'oat to follow in' the footsteps of its predecessors the' gentleman from Doug las accused the geatlemanfrom Nemaha with representing the bill to be a dam bill. The gentleman said, it wis only a lapsus lingue, or a mistake of the prin ter, that the word "mill" sihould havo been mentioned before the "dam." Just as your reporter left the Hall another gentleman charged the gentleman from Washington' with wanting to dam the wlole of Cuming County ; the third gen tleman, sai'd the county was darned al ready, and he did not tea the use of darning it any further. Reference, of course, to no execrations against the county. The subject of granting legis lative rights to dam the streams in Ne braska has been summarily and erTectu ally rocked to sleep for this session ! and many Nebraska: law makers can, truly say, with Othelo "my occupation is gone." A "Bill for the destruction of black birds, Crows aad-gophers," has pass ed the committee on agriculture in the Council." Thu is supposed to be a lead irn measure, and much tine, doubtless, will be devoted to its consideration. I will watch itsprogress.aiid report in' my next. The members of the legislature see m to be "sot" on waging a war of subjuga tion, or extermination, against all "var mints." A 44 Wolf and Wild-Cat" bill was considered in the Council, at length on the 2Sth, and re-committsd to its ap propriate committee. Brig-Gen. Theophilus Lovegood, is here and was elected a member of the Legis lature, but has not been able to take his seat, on account of honorable scars re ceived while repeling the hostile foe N -The old gentleman is becoming fatigued. As soon as his health will permit it is to be hoped his voice will be heard on the subjects of dogs, wolves, wild-cats, black birds, crows amd gophers. His-great aversion to all "critters," including wo men, insures the success of the bills for the destruction of jhie aforesaid animals and "fowels." Effects of the deg bill. As I passed up Iarnham street a few days since, I discovered a fine Pointer dog lying dead near the side walk. The question was raised as to the cause of his death, Some said it was a clear case of suicide, resulting from anticipation of the action of the legislature to discourage the growth of "purps," but on close inspec tion a copy of the "dog bill" was found clinched between his teeth poisoned.

Those places were occupied by- the navy. The whole number of guns cap tured amount to 162. A large number of small arms also fell into our hands, besides quantities of ordnance and com-' missary stores. . .

Obituary, Nemaha City. N. T., January, 2S, 1865. . The citizens of Nemaha City and vi ciniiy met this evening at 7 o'clock for the purpose of commernurating the death pf Christopher Shuck, son of John Shuck who resides in Nemaha City Nebraska Territory. , Christopher was a young man who commanded the respect, love and esteem of all who knew him. We knew him well. - When our Government was threat ened by treason and rebellion, and the glorious old flag, which our forefathers 8 nobly won for us, was about being horn from that lofty hight, where it had so long waved in peace and triumph, and shamefully trailed in, the dusi, hs was on among the prst to leave home, father, mother, brothers, sisters, and fly to its protection. He was prompted by no motive but a conviction of duty. Hi had no heavy ralery to induce hira to en list; no prospect of promotion. But his country was in peril, and he flew to its aid. On last Christmas day he fell in battle. G. W. Fairbrother acted as Chair man of said meeting:. Tht exercises wt-re opened with prayer Dy xxev. bit. opunocK ; alter wnicn au ap propriate hymn wassung,byJMr. and Mrs. Wcrkman, lrs. Billings and b. B.. Chap lin. We were then addressed by Rev. Mr, Spurleck, Capt. Minnick, Mr. Workman and G. W. Fairbrother. The relatives of the deceased were not the only mourners present, we all wept, for it was a solemn occasion. But our tears were not of that kind, in which there is no consolation. Wo ffpr r.nt inrmrmrrr at tho 1rQ rcP one who had ever failed to perform his duty as a citizen at home with his friends, oras a soldier in the field. But we mourned for one whose character was as pure as the pearls of the ocean. We mourned for one who gave his life as a sacrifice to the shrine; liberty. The meeting was closed by prayer, after which, and before the audience dis persed a gentleman from Brownville, presented us with a paper which had been gotten up in Brownville, for the purpose of raising means to remove the body cf the deceased from its rude resting place, and have it broughthome and interred re spectably in the graveyard of his friends. The call for means, was- responded to promptly, and we will not forget to com pliment our friends in Brownville, by saying we saw a goodly number of names upon the paper who live there, although the gentlerr an said it had not been thor oughly circulated. ' The sufficient means will be forthcoming no doubt. F. B. CHAPLIN, Sec. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. IK SEWING MACHINES. EMPIRE SHUTTLE MACHINE!!! Patented February 14th, I860.
