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.

The Bill for the payment of the Militia
has passed both branches of the Legis

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
