The Route declared Good and Practicable. Seventy Miles to be pnt under Contract this Fait. The "'Pennsylvania Central" in the Ring. Messrs. Smith, Brown and Grant, who have teen conducting the Survey of the Mississippi and Missouri River Air Line Railroad, reached Scott City, opposite this pis' ce, last Saaturday, about 3 o'clock, seemingly well satisfied with their work and cf the practicability of the route surveyed. They found the country on the route rich ia mineral and Agricultu ral wealth. Several fine coal beds were crossed on the Charitan River a bed of coal was discovered six feet thick. Heavy bodies cf oak and other timber were passed through cn. the route, the best being on the hills cf the Charitan.' They freely admit that the route survey ed is much better than was expected by them cn starling oat. At 2 o'clock, Messrs. McPherson, Furnas, and Blacburn a committee ap pointed by the B. Ft. K. Si P. R. R. Co. of this city together with Senator Tip ton and other prominent citizen?, crossed the river and escorted the party to this city, where they remained, the guests of the city, until last Monday morning. While here the party were shown over the country ia every direction from this city, and expressed themselves favorably as to the practicabily of a route from this point west, and were much pleased with the country generally. The party have returned to Quincy to make out their report of the survey for publication, which will detain them until the lt of October, when they will re turn to make the survey west to Fort Kearney and. a connection with the Pa cific Railroad, which will be published in connection with the survey just completed. They also expressed the opinion that seventy miles of the road from Quincy west would be put under contract yet this full. The distance, by this survey, from Quincy to Brownville is 279 25 miles; from Rockporl to Brownville is.7 25 miles. The first distance we learn, the Surveyors think can yet be shortened ia several places. ' We regard this survey as definitely and favorably settling the question cf an early eastern and western railroad con nection through this section of country. It3 feasibility will be demonstrated to the satisfaction of several cf the heaviest rail read companies running to the Atlantic seabcard and desiring an air line coa nectioa with the Great Unioa Pacific road west from Omaha; among these are the Pennsylvania Central, the Great Western and the Logansport, Peoria and Burlington read, vrhich latter road is now building a read from Pecria to Keo kuk, which will make a perfect Air Line from Lcganspcrt, Ind., via Pecria, I1L, Keckuk, la., Brownvilla and Ft. Kear ney, Neb., to a Pacific connection, cf S10 miles, the longest and most perfect JlSr Line Railroad in (he vcrU! The casterD interests involved will surely put the rc;d jhrcgh, ts it is a commercial necessity to both New York and Phila delphia, and a hundred inland cities. Counties along the route in Missouri are in real earnest about this road, al ready have they voted near three-fourths of a million dollars in bonds to aid in its construction, and that will te doubled when work is actually begun. To Brownville this begins a new era in he?rogress and prosper.ty which will know no stoppage until she becomes one cf the leadirr cities tf the Missouri valley, a centre known to the commerce of the world. And Nemaha county and the counties west will have at their very doors the markets of the world in com petition for their produce. . Yet. the end is tot yet somtlliing vet remains for us to do; let us Le ready to do our share in this great wcrk whenever called upon. BncwyviLLE, Sept. 9, 1S67. .Messrs.

Wiihin jou and yours many happy days and a speedy realization of your de.-tres, ... , I remain, gentlemen. Yours respectfully," JOS. S. SMITH. ! 7 ; Chief Engineer. The above acknowledgement is grate fully accepted by cur citizens, with our best wishes for their welfare, and the hope of soon'seeing them return to com plete the survey to a connection with the Union Pacific railroad. : "Mjr'-Corinirj, 'lis of Thee." Many able American statesmen regard the present situation of the country, po litically, as one full of danger to liberty and peace. Johnson has removed nearly all those oflicers who had found favor with the loyal people and engendered the hate of rebels for the faithful execu tion of the law providing. for the recon struction of the late rebel States; he is doing all ia his power to render laws cf Congress inoperative against rebels and to delay -reconstruction ;"he is said to be intoxicated the greater portion of his time, a burning disgrace to the na tion. The rebels of Maryland are arm ing as fast as possible, and the copper head press of the north are proclaiming that actual, bloody war will follow any attempt cf Congress to interfere with our rebel President's programme. Gen. Grant has proved himself no statesmen may we never have cccasion to doubt his patriotism by "accepting" the po sition made vacant by the removal of Sec. Stanton, which was. really the en- terirtg wedge to the present deplorable' state cf affairs. Under all these circumstance we do not apprehend serious trouble. The President,, if he persist in hi3 pres ent course, will surely be impeached at the next session of Congress. About that time rebels may make an attempt to usurp the Government by backing John son, and if so, they will be whipped, and "amnesty and mercy" be "played out." The Fair Grounds and Fair. We have just returned from a visit to the Fair Ground?, in compauy with Col. Furnas, President of the Society, where we found the work progressing favora-i bly for the accommodation of everythingr that may come or be brought.. Twenty acres of ground have been secured about a quarter of a mile south of the city limits, upon the bottom next to the timber which borders on the river. The ground is beautiful, level bottom, and ia as fine a site as could be secured at the time. . . Workmen are now engaged erecting a building upon the ground 49 by 100 feet, to contain three tables 10Q feet long, to display the small household and other articles that have to be housed to be kept dry. This building will be a strong substantial structure capable, it is supposed, cf containing all the kinds of articles above named and leaving abun dant rocrn for visitors. ' Four hundred stalls are being built, and will be prepared for the reception of all kind3 of stock la time for the Fair. Yet, in the event that this number of stalls should not be sufficient, arrange ments have been made for double this number, and material and workmen will be on hand to build as fast as needed. A trotting track,- lj3 of a mile in length, has been laid off and is being prepaired for the Fair by the Brownville Trotting Club, who are determined to spare nothings to make this arrangement No. 1. The Fair Ground will be enclosed as wall as circumstances will admit, this be ing the beginning, fund cn hand will not admit of a tight board fence all around, yet the enclosure will be as complete as necessary, considering the natire hones ty cf our people." ; - Good, fresh water will be on, th grounds in abundance, J. C. Deuser has kin'diy consented to place in position sev eral cf his new Patent Pump?, which will supply, the tv&nts of all. The Fair is close at hand, and the in terest manifested so far gives ihe grati fying assurance of perfect succbss. All seem elire to its importance. - r .. Fvprvlio.'Jvf should mate ud their mmu j j to bring something. Many wcrtuy ob jects have teen inadvertently omitted by the Premium List Committee, yet every thing placed on exhibition will be award ?d a premium if deserving. -Let every lady in tha county prepare something, a- jar cf preserve?, jam, pickle?, butter, cr cheese, or needle work of some kind; few ladies but pride themselves upon doing somethings better than the aver age, we hope all will- try themselves up on something-. It is also expected of the ladies of the count y and this vicinity es pecially, that they will as:i2t ia prepar ing decoratijns and adorning tho hall. We doubt net they will be cn hand. Nemaha County 'AgricnKcral'Falr. -For the benefit of those who may de sire lo exhibit articles, or stock of any kind, at the coming Annual Fair,not enu merated in the Premium List, I desire to say that. all articles or stock that may be exhibited not provided fcr in the list, will be placed under the management cf the Discretionary Committee, and pre miums in cash or Diplomas will be awar ded worthy and successful exhibition?. By so doing the Society will be enabled that will in all respects meet the exact demands of this section. Let there be no backwardness in exhibiting anything and everything that Will in the leas; add to the interest and usefulness cf the Fair. There will be plenty Feed, hay, corn, etc., and stock water convenient, and on the ground to supply all demands. . The old Board of Directors (F. A Tisdel substituted for R.W.Furnas Chair-! man) F.

Gol laday, Pastor of the M E Church of this city. He left this phace for Nebraska City on the 2d, apparently reaching there on the same day. as a letter from him was mailed from that city on the 2d. This letter, addressed to his wife, was not taken out of the cfiice here, until Friday morning. - This epistle is affec tionate and loving, containing directions to his wife how and'where to obtain pos session of his property, commending her to the care of kind providence, and state ihg his'determination to visit the bottom cf the Missouri river and remain there until life had left its frail tenement. . Since this nothing has been heard cf him, although several of the members of his church have made diligent search and inquiry. ' . . The .carnal minded have located his whereabouts with a lady who left here some weeks ago; this story has been proven false, as.wre knew it would be, Mr. Golladay having been a printer pre vious to accepting a call to the ministry. . Mr. Golladay is abcut six feet, very slim, - stopping and round - shouldered; hasblue eyei, light hair, light whiskers, slightly sprinkled with gray. Any in formation concerning him will reach his friends by being addressed to this office. t District Ccart the 1st Judicial District, Chief Fcr Justice Mason, presiding, convened in this city last ? Monday morning, and is still dispensing justice as we go to press. This is the first term of District Court held ira this county for over a year, and from the attendance it would seem that cur people were hungry for justice.- Judge Mason fills our ideal cf a good judge-prompt, : impartial and fearless iri the. discharge of his duty. May his shadow never decrease. . Cur County Treasurer, Hon. Jonas Hacker, his been very sick during the past two week?, even i;hb unto death, and the regular proceeding ia his office have been somewhat disturb- ed in consequent he had a Deputy When first t -r- er.r'aed m tl cr who understood the boo '.'3 well ar. 1 cculd attend to all. the business.' This L:;uty concluded about a wecc since to quit, leaving the effice closed, and the Treas urer unable to instruc: any one in the bocks; since which time T. C. Hacker has had charge cf the effice. . Yet, as fate seemed cetermmea to close the effice, T. C. Hacker was empannelled on the Petit Jury last Monday. . We have never had a County Treas rer who has labored more faithfully cr been at his post cf duty more regularly than Mr. Hacker, and, in this instance, he needs noexcuse, ns a bare statement of the circumstances, over, which he could have no control, is sufficient. : . The KewScIiool Law. -On our first page,to-c'ay, will te found the New School Law. As to its being an improvement' upon the old there is n great diversity cf opinion, yet the Nfrw Law seems to us far more simple and plain than the' old, and. adapted .to the Iwaniscf any sized district;. we speak not from actual knowledge of the ope rations of either, yet much difficulty has been experienced with ihe old, while the New seems to us'to afford no chance for. doubt or misunderstanding. All should read it carefully and preserve it for fu ture reference. It is the law cf the land at least until the meeting of the next Legislature' in "63 C9. We are sorry that' a difficulty should exist among the Republicans cf Bedford Precinct, and' do not think the personal correspondence handed us last Wednes day, if published, would mend the mat ter ; besides, we never publish com munications unless signed by some re sponsible party. . As this trouble is about a School House we hope a remedy may be found in the New School Law. A Soldier's Burial. To morrow, Thursday, August 29. h, the remains cf Merrit 13. Slocuni will be committed to their final resting place in Forty-Fort Cemetry, from the house cf his father. Mr. Thomas Slu'eum, in Kingston, with military honors. Merrit B. Slocum wai acting Sergeant Major iu the 1ft Nebraska Cavalry, a detachment of which with the 5-iih Illi nois Infantry, were on duty at Grand Prairie, Arkansas, 21th August, IS64. when our troops there had .several battles with the orwhelraing forces of the reb els'. Mr. Slocum was taken prisoner with, the remains of ihe detachment af ter the fight, and on th retreat of ' the enemy b fore reinforcements of the Union army he was taken sick with chills from which he had been suffering several days before. The r beta, part cf Shelby's command, curspd. him and drove him on' after he had fallen exhausted. They gave him a horse, and a comrade thus writes : -I was ordered on and a horse was brought him to ride, and I supposed, that all was right. About an hour afterwards a man named Graham, came o me and told me that the rehs had t hot Slocum." -Tt seems that the fever was on him, 'and thev kept cuicinr him that he did net ride to suit them, threatening to shoot him, &.c. He finally lure open his shirt, and told them to shout. On reb, asked, "Captain shall I shoot the son of a b ?" The reply was "yes d him. shoot him." "The villain fired, and ycur poor son fell dead, shot through the breast " This was near the farm tf a Mr. Bulls, who has since kindly aided Mr. Slocum in recovering the bones of his son. He was 23 years old the February before his death. The -rebels are the men who now do loudly demand their rights. 'Let them have justice. We copy the above from the Record of the Times, publis-hed at" Wilks-Barre Pa. Sergant Slocum was captured with the detachment of Lieut. Polock, ofLthis city, who knew him well as a brave and fear less soldier. The above is but another link in the chain that binds the rebel cause, and its Northern sympathizers, to the wheel of public damnation. The Progress or the Conspiracy. -It-is but a few days more than one month since Congress adjourned. One of the most exciting and interesting de bates ct the July session was on the question of adjournment; and already the country sees that it was one of the most important questions considered at the session. There were taose in Con gress who- had the cagacny to see, and the courage tp say, that Congress ought not to adjourn while Andrew Johnson still possessed power. But they were in the minority in both branches cf the na tional legislature. They were squarely outvoted by a majority who believed, or affected to believe, that Mr. Johnson could do uo harm. Some of them asser ted the opinion that he did not desire to do harm. . Already this majority can see its "mistake. Mr. Johnson has shown that they asserted ; what they ' did not know, or he has grown to be a ucrse man than they were willing to believe he could be. Which is ill Let. those who trusted him answer. But let us see what a month has brought forth. 1st. The President invited the Secre tary of War to resign. 2nd.- Mr.- Stanton declined, believing it to ba his duty, and the will of the loyal people cf the cation that he should hold on. 3rd. The President requests Gen. Grant to accept the War Office tempora rily: - 4th. Gen. Grant does accept, and so informs Mr. Stanton, who, cf coarse, re tires. . There was no alternative,; Here was his successor, ia the person of -Gen- 1 r.f iha Armv to nr.? tho ordc-r cf I ' ' T77 .1.7 TffT r,7?r ,V- the president come to relieve him. The civil ;,nd the military uniteJ. Did the loyal people J-.;sire tais u-na j aj.j cue man loyal to tho law s;k to have it done? Ihve thi-.js repressed better sinco it v.-as done ? Let the people answer. o h. Tha Preiidant issues an order for tha removal cf Gsa. Sheridan. C:b. Gen. Grant pretests in manly terms and with ccgent reason?. But the President will not relent. Therefore, Grant issues the order, and the wul cf the nation is defied, and one of its most faithful and trusted agents is dihoncrcd. so far as it is in the power of Mr. John son todishoner him. Did aoy loyal man want thi3. done ? Not one. Only reb els and their co-workers wanted Sheri dan removed. 7th. Gen. Sickles is ordered to surren der his department to Gen. Canby. Did any loyal citizer.3 ask for the removal of Sickles? D;d aLV such citizen ask-for the appointment of Canny ? Why, then, wf re these changes made ? Sih. The President orders Gen. Thom as to Louisiana. He cannot go. There fore, he orders Gen. Hancock to be with drawn from his command and sent to Lnuiiiana. '' -9ih. .Gen.' Grant-declines to crdr Hancock tu Louisiana for- the all suffi cient reason that Hancock is 'opposed to the .law he will be required lo execute. Bat finally Grant submit, but Jirrcs that none of the orders issued by Sheri dan shall be abrrgated without the asrent of the General cf the army. - The Pres ident objects, and in a subsequent order virtually annuls tne saving clause ci Grant's ordur. 10th. The President directs that Sner idan at once assumes command in the west, without reporting at Washington, as ordered by Grant. These are the things accomplished. Those premised are, 1st. ihe removal of Gen. Howard from' the charge cf the Freedmen's Bu reau. - - 2nd. The removal cf General Pope. 3d. A reformation of the Cabinet so as to completely Johnonizo it. 4th. War upon the loyal pres? by withholding information from rarer? o which do not support the Johnson non- reconstruction policy. 5th. Filling the South with emissari es to prevent the registration cf loyal men, and to thus enable the reb'ls to vote down conventions, and prevent re construction. ANNOUNCEMENTS Pit OB ATI JUDGE.
