It will take but a little effort on our part to intensify their de termination to build their road and to reach this county in advance cf all com peting' lines. Our representatives abroad inform us that leading railroad men from Central Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Penn sylvania have marked Brownville on their rjtps as a point through which the great central line must wade cn its course to a nrrjaion with ihe Union Pacific. The t taes of out location are acknowl edged by the great railroad financeers of the country. Great as they are they may be frittered away by inaction on our part. Rival localities are every moment at work, sparing neither pains, time or money to divert public attention from our enterprise and from the railroad advant- acres which we possess, and to direct it into other channels. This once accom plished we cannot command the capital and influence which will then be requir ed to recover the lost ground.

The President first calls the attention of Congress to the "continued disorgan ization of the Union,' which is a subject of profound and patriotic concern. The fact that other nations have had a simi lar experience is of great relief to him. Other courtrys cannot prevent civil war, uesires ot uonsressmen with regard to southern rebels, they should o console themselves by reflecting that a free Con stitution, triumphant m war and unbroken in peace is worth far more to us than the gratification of any present feeling. The President admits that the millita ry governments are only provisional and temporary, but he fears that the change will be for the worse, as it is the curse of despotism that it has no halting place. The President thinks the object cf the Congressional plan is to confer upon ne- groes the privilege of voting to the ex clusion of the rebels, and says that ne gro domination would be worse than mil itary despotism under which the rebel States are now ruled. The resident persuades himself that the rebels will endure any amount cf millitary oppres sion for any length of time, rather than accept the reconstruction policy of Con gress. He charges Congress with com manding the millitary to superintend the clothing of the negro race with power to govern white men. The President is of the opinion that common humanity would require us to place the negro under the fostering care of Southern rebels. The President says that it is the glory of the white men lbat they have buih up and maintained a great political fabric for ninety years on this Continent, but that negroes never did anything of the kind, and he dop't like to see them try. He thinks the ballot should be given to none except rebels and those who are moral ly and intellectually fitted to use it well, and the President finally concludes by saying if argument will not induce Con gress to give up the policy of reconstruc tion thus far pursued, and adopt "My Policy," he thinks the late manifesta tions of public opinion as shown by the elections just held, ought to be a good reason for doing so, and if it does not then the President tells Congress that "I have deliberated much and feel extreme ly anxious to reach a proper conclusion as to how far the duty of the President to protect and defend the Constitution, requires him to go in opposing an uncon stitutional act of Congress." He plain ly tells Congress that the reconstruction acts are as palpably unconstitutional as any he could imagine. Still, his confi dence in the wisdom and virtue of the people seems not to have been misplaced, and laments that the rebels are not al lowed to show their wisdom and virtue through the qse of the ballot. Letter from the President or the M & 31 A L R R Dr. Blackburn has shown us a letter under date of Dec. 4, from President Davis. Mr. Smith, the Chief Engineer of the road has removed his family from Canada to Canton. He has great confi dence in the success of the road. Mr. Davis says his motto is that his road "can, must and shall be built, and the work must begin in the spring at three places to-wit : at Quincy Bridge, at Brownville East and at Brownville west." He mmmends the people of Nemaha County for their energy, and thinks if any people in the world deserve a rail road they do. So think we. He sends a special invitation tc our Washington delegates to visit Canton, and accept of his hospitality for a few days to compare notes and arrange a pro gram. Communication. A Trip to Lincoln. A sudden and unexpected business call started your correspondent in com pany with a friend to vhit the prospec tive capital of Nebraska. Our chosen route thither took us by way of Tecum seh, thence about west 35 north up the main branch of the Nemaha, about twen-ty-three miles, to Mr. Gill's farm ; thence leaving the Nemaha to the S. E. proceed ed "due north west over the ridge to the east branch of Salt Creek ; thence north about 30 west, down said branch to the capital city, distant from Gill's farm about 22 miles. Making a distance of about 75 miles from Brownville. For those who desire an easy road to travel and who wish to see the interior of Ne braska as it is represented in her agri cultural resources and developments, and to observe how the western Yankees gather about them, on the frontier the comforts and enjoyments of civilized life, and with what ingenuity they manage to supply from the resources of nature' the essentials of domestic and social enjoy ments, this route affurds the best induce ments. A half a day's drive lakes one to Te cumseh, where the Sherman House af fords very good accemmodation for man and beast. Thirteen miles up the Big Nemaha brings the traveler to Bent's Mill. A mile above Bent's is a good bridge, which affords a choice of roads on either side of the stream, for a dis tance of about ten miles through the Ad am's settlement in the north east corner of Gage county, to Mr. Gill's farm, where one will be entertained with wes tern hospitality and abundance, in New England style, and may learn by obser vationhow the frontier Yankee makes his natural ingenuity supply the place of the mechanic arts andjraanufactures. My friends and myself spent an hour here, speculating upon some rude but apparent ly efficient specimens of home made ma chinery, but which were puzzles to us until explained. Here was an apparatus for twisting and manufacturing ropes; here a Corn-sheller ; there a unique contrivance for trapping chickens, quails, &c, &c. At this place we leave the Nemaha and strike over the open prairie, where the compass must be our guide, as no track has yet been made, for a distance of eight miles, to the East Fork of Salt Creek. One would suppose that the di viding ridges between the Nemaha and Salt Creek would be breken and hilly. On the contrary, the route we traveled is all the way nearly as level as the cot- torn lands on the Nemaha. The scenery and topography of the country along the Salt Creek is very similar to what they are along the other streams. One dis tinctive feature, "however, is noticed, viz: the abundance of building stone, as is evidenced by the fact that nearly every farmer has built, or is building a substan tial stone house. We saw several fine large houses of this kind, and many evi dences of thrift and industry among the farmers. Indeed, from what we saw of the improvements in Lancaster County, we were constrained to form a very ia vorable opinion of her people, and be lieve she has many natural and superior advantages. As we approached the Capital, a change is noticable in the features of the land scape, and the scene ry'assumes a differ ent aspect, insomuch that the change or break in the prairie view affords at least a relief, if it 13 not really an improve ment. We approach the City from the South. On our left from the west, comes in the main branch of Salt Creek, while nearer, on the left, from the south west, comes the east branch, which we have been following. From the north west comes Oak Creek. The country here seems to have been formed at first with a purpose of making aflarge reservoir. But, the valley was scooped out too shallow to hold the water and it gradually pushes its way to the Platte. But little timber is seen. Much of it is said to have been cut off by the salt makers. Yet the scenery is varied and relieved io the view by the appear ance of two very pretty lakes ; one ap parently covering about twenty acres within about a mile west of the citv, and the other about two miles in the same direction, and very much larger. We were puzzled, however, by observing that teams seem6d to drive over them, and upon inquiry into the phenomena, were benignly and condescendingly in formed that those were not lakes, but were the veritable Salt Basins. We felt like making a very low bow, but the prospect of seeing how nature made salt incited to further investigation, of which more anon. H . Land Entries In Nebraska. Wc are under obligations toC.

The shock was also felt to the north at sea, the waters rising to a great height and becoming: very angry and tempestu ous.
