The Browaillle, Ft. Kearney and Pacific Railroad Surrey. We have just been shown a letter by Dr. Blarkburn, Secretary of the above road, from Joseph Smith, the engineer employed by the B., Ft. Kearney & P. R. R. Co., to the effect that he will be here with his family and party the latter part of this week or fore part of next, to commence the permanent survey cf this read. This is work. The expenses of surveying must be defrayed, and the people along the line should lock alive and be ready with the needfull. Mr. Smith will be accompanied by a financial agent of the company, whose duty it will be to attend to the financial arrange ments. We have also very cheering news from Washington in regard to our land grant, from which we can advise all to 'be of good cheer," for the day cf our prosperity is dawning. Senator Tipton. On the occasion of the Grand Proces fcion and Celebration of the Anniversary cf .the Emancipation of Slavery in the District of Columbia the following were announced as the orators: Senators Wil son, Nye. Tipton and Morton. It is a pleasure to us, and should be to every Nebraskian, to see our Senators taking rank among the leading minds of the land. We also discover, from the following letter, where Sen. Tipton's preferences are for President and Vice President : Senate Chamber, April 15ih, 1S6S To P. Kirlland and others, Com. of Inv. .A etc York City. Gektlemex : As official duties will prevent my attendance at the Inaugura tion of your Club House, I have only to add Wade in, and the people will Grant you success. Very Respectfully, T. W. TIPTON. It was determined, a ehort time since, by the Good Tempi ers of Brownville, to appoint a committee of three ladies to circulate a petition for the signatures of the legal voters in the city, requesting that no more license be granted for the tale of malt, spirituous and vinous liquors within the. corporate limits of the city. Mrs. Church, Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Dor eey were appointed said, committee, and very faithfully circulated the petition, many signing and many refusing to do so; whereupon Wendel Grant, one of the merchants of Brownville, feeling egrieved in the premises, had the moral courage to come up to the Advertiser cfHce and withdraw his advertising. Soon after up comes the runner from the ealooa of W. H. Valleau & Co., and pre sents us with the following letter: "Messrs. CrrcRCH,Coi.HiiT A Co .Please make ent oar bill for the paper, and the bo y will pay yon. W. II. Valleau St Co." Friend Collhat? : We expect that Church and his wife wilt Lust ui up in business, and can't afbrd to take that sheet any longer. Biliie." ' So W. II. Valleau & Co., to show their contempt for the Advertiser, and. their respect for the Journal, published a local ia the next issue of the latter sheet, in forming the public cf what superior drinks they have to sell, &c. . What further may come we know net. We suppose it to be the province of a well conducted paper to furnish the means cf improving society, to elevate mankind ia their educational, moral and . religious tendencies, and not to pander to their vices and follies; and so believ ing, we shall continue steadfast in our efforts to encourage all educational enter prises, moral and religious efforts to iro prove and reform society, end such com mercial undertakings as are for the public good. When this community shall cease to require a paper of this character, then it shall cease to be publishers, and in pursuing this course we do not expect to ouaia or retain the patronage cf those who eeek to build themselves up by drag- ing oiLers down. Salem. This town is near the centre of Rich ardson county, at the confluence'ef the North and South Forks cf the Great Ne maha River. We approached it from the west, traveling on the divide between these two branches for many miles. This afforded us an opportunity cf viewing the farming improvements in the rallies of the two rivers which gave us some idea of the backing which the village of Salem has cn the west. The pens of corn, the improved fields, the comfortable dwell ings and out-houses which were of fre quent occurrence, together with the large herds of cattle roaming the prai ries, nipping the first sprouts of the green grass, forms a basis of trade that is at once stable and enduring, and from our knowledge cf the settlements in the country for ten and fifteenTniles to the north and north west, we are certain that Salem is one of the most favorably located inland towns for business and growth in the State. There is a good gristmill, propelled by water power, cn the east side of the vil lage, and a steam saw mill a few rods to the south. There is sufficient water power, if properly improved, to drive machinery for milling, sawing, carding, fulling, and all manufacturing purposes. It really has all the advantages of mak ing it the town of Richardson county ; and were its advantages really advertised and known, it would attract capital, and enterprising, sharp, shrewd, business men, who would reap mines of wealth from such advantages, while slow-coaches may live, plod on, and die hoping, but never realizing what nature has done for the favored village of Salem. We find here a class of people who are satisfied to skim the surface daily, make the income of the year as iarge as pos sible, with the disposition to leave when they have scraped up all the wealth that will come without much energy or pains on their part. What they want is a class of men who will go to work with energy, judgment, and much hard labor; not caring to divide dividends the first year, or the next, or the next, but with expec tations of large profits ten and twenty years henci ; laying a foundation that will make eld age happy, comfortable, generous and independent. Messrs. Tisdel & Taylor are carrying on an extensive furniture store. They have good lumber, and turn out superior work. W. M. Richardson has charge of the butcher shop, and supplies the mar ket with well fatted and juicy meats. Messrs. Carter & Bayne, Messrs Tink- ham & Bro., and Messrs. Lincoln & Holt have well filled stores of dry goods, groceries, and a general variety of mer chandise, and they supply the wants cf a large scope of country. Louis Mettz and his accomplished lady, of the Salem Hotel, anxiously look after the wants and comforts of the traveling public, and keep a good house. There are the usual number of mechanics and other laborers, and their work in building, repairing, beautifying and fencing, gives to the town a lively appearance. Good schools are open to all, and religious services are regularly held and well attended and supported. We had a free and easy talk with many Republicans. They have formed a club, and are determined that nothing shall prevent their massing their full strength upon the Republican ticket the coming fall. Their zeal and energy are praiseworthy, and we shall look for the accomplishment of much good. We met our friend Dr. W. H. Kim- berlin here, and found him with coat off and sleeves rolled up, ploughing, spad ing and fencing two fine lots for a resi dence which he emphatically called 'mine." The Doctor has located in a good county for physical labor, but where eyes and ears are too sound to require much tinkering. The people of Salem handed us the money for a large list of subscribers for the Advertiser, which was gratifying to us, and we hope 'will prore- beneficial to them. . . The lodge of Good Templers of this place are said to be in a prosperous con dition. The following officers were elected at its regular communication last week for the quarter commencing May 1st, to-wit: .:. J. W. Blackburn, W. C. T. Mary Blackburn, W. V. T. W. S.Blackburn, W. C. A W. Nickell, W. S. Mrs. Jam's S. Church, W, T. J. J. Russell, W. F. S. M. F. Boyd, W. M. Miss Mary Simpson, W. J. G. a A. Polock, W.O. G. We hare been engaged in publishing the Advertiser six months, and from all, whose good opinions are valuable, we are receiving the highest commendations for the course we have pursued. Daring this time we have been advertising for cur customers, and have been liberally paid. A few of them . may yet be owing ih something. We wish now to make' an effort for the purchase of a new press and new type, and are under the necessity of calling in all that b now outstanding on our books, and for this purpose shall seek a settlement with all our patrons the coming week. There was a severe snow stern b Bos ton last Saturday In soliciting subscriptions for the Ad vertiser we are often told I like your paper;" I have no objection to your paper;" 'I would like to take your paper, but am so poor I can't afford it." Now, these same men do afford to chew up and spit out that noxious weed called tobacco, and so perhaps do one or more of their half grown boys ; and too many of them consume large quantities of tea, coffee, and bid whisky, ail cf which are not only useless but injurious to the sys tem. r No wonder then that they are too poor to take a newspaper; and if they did, perhaps, would not have sufficient energy to read it nless stimulated with moderate quantities of one or all the above enumerated articles of consump tion. In contemplating this matter we are led to the question can a man afford to pamper his body and starve his mind 1 In answering this question Henry Ward Beecher says: "Every man has four children In every child a physical ehlld, a social child, an intellectual child, and a moral child. These lour natures unite in forming each individual ' , " The education of a chili is to he carried up in four lines Now, no man can afford to starve three parts of his child, for the sake of overfeeding one part. Here in the common mistake. Parent do well by their thi!dren's bodies, but their Intellectual, social, and moral natures are subject to rigid economy. Is it not so ? Let the facts he looked at. When men besln to prosper, Uo they spend in proportion half at much for the inward manhood of their families as for the outward ? Do they, not pay lavishly for a better house, better furnsbinirs, better rood and clothes, fcut stingily for books, schools, newspapers, church privileges, and for refilling and huinomzing amuse ments? The ether facts: When times are hard and men are emharrased, and begin to curtail expenses, where does the knife fall first? Children are withdrawn from school ! The newspapers are given up! Ho new books this year ! But, appearances must ie kept op, and so a new coat of paint on the house. Rood clothes, hats, bonnets and boots, proclaim that the physical roust be cared for, whatever becomes of the moral and the lnte.lectual ele ments of manhood. Of course, every man must determine for himself the manner and relative distribution of bis income. But a few things may be set down f r young mei to po nder. There are a great many things that a youDg man can not afford. He cannot afford to be a good animal and a poor man ; to have strung bones and a weak conscience ; to feed his children's mouths and starve their souls) togrnmbloat school bills while settling large grog bills; to chew to bacco, but refuse a good newspaper ; to put a fine hat on a foolish head; to hoard money but lay op no ideas; to own a horse that knows more than its rider. No man living can afford to be dissipated, or self-indulgent or ignorant. Nobody can afford to be a fool. It will not pay. Letter From Beatrice. Beatrice, Neb., April 20ih.

Graphic Description of the Impeachment Trial by an Uye Witness A Nebraski an Around Taking Notes Nebraska's Delegation all Sound, Correspondence of the Advertiser. Washington, D. C, April 15. Editor Advertiser: In Washingtbn nothing is heard of but impeachment. The air is full of it ; we breathe it in with every breath; we hear of it at every corner; pictorial newspapers rep resent impeachment managers and Pres dent's counsel in every imaginable shape and form how the Chief Justice looked when the Senate sustained his decision, and how he looked when it did not how the great manager looked during the de livery of his speech how his face shone in that happy ten minutes accorded him by Senator Wilson, and the manner in which he received his congratulations at its close. Newspaper reporters have -veil pictured the tones of the responses of the different Senators Sumner's deep bass, Thayer's heavy undertone just fol lowing, and the shrill piping voice of Tipton to close the trio. All these are read with apparent interest by the great American people, for whom no descrip tion can be too minute of this important occasion an occasion, that will decide for weal or woe the destiny of this na tion, so that everything said or done will be remembered as having an influence on its decision. '.. Friday and Saturday were about the most interesting days we have yet had. The witness for the defence told a straight story, assisted by the learned Attorney-General; but when Butler was called to the scene of action, things bore a different aspect. Under the fierce, gauling fire of his questioning, Thomas's strong voice soon changed, and could scarcely be recognized at its close as that of the same man. Oh! it was merciless in its bitterness ; and much as my sym pathies were in the beginning against the man and his misdeeds, I could but pitty the spectacle of an old gray-haired man, forty-five years in the service of his country, so ruthlessly compelled to involve himself in the toils prepared for him, and from which there was no escape. Truly the graet arch-traitor should be called to account, that he has been the means of causing an embeeile old man to make such a humiliating display of himself. - After Thomas had practically shown in what a position a man could place him self by trying to be too easy on his friends, the hero of Atlanta was called to the stand, and then came the tug of war. Here Greek met Greek, and dia mond cut diamond, till the Senate Cham ber was filled with sparks of wit. Sar casms and invectives struck out, and ihe great men of both sides met in open war. All reserve wa3 thrown aside, and every nerve was strained to gain an advantage, At no time since the beginning of the trial had the contest been so hot, and over so certain a point. The question was a plain one, on which neather party tried to dodge the point. Butler's blows were keen and strong striking the nail on the head every time, and his illustra tions driving it home with a force and power felt by all. Bingham's clear sil very voice rang out eloquently through the hall, and his beautiful language and logical arrangement of argument came up well to Butler's assistance. In vain did Stanberry plead; fruitless was Evan's keen, clear, incisive voice and argument. But they were not the men to be discouraged by one failure, and re turned again and again to the attack, and like Banquo's ghost, they wouldn't down, but failing at one point they came on fiercer than ever to another, and charged upon it with all the fury that disappointed men are capable of. After toiling and struggling in vain the whole of the after noon, as the shadows of evening were lengthening, they reluctantly came to the conclusion that they were beaten, and Stanberry arose, with chagrin depicted on every feature of his countenance, and requested that they might be allowed to recall the witness on Monday, as his tes timony was importaut to their case, and they did not desire to give it up to the last moment, so the Senate kindly give them forty-two hours in which to concoct some scheme by which they might slip in a question, despite the vigilance of the managers Monday morning they made their ap pearance bright and early, (for Wash ington), hoping evidently to secure the advantage the "early bird" is said to obtain. As they came to time they showed no effects of the fearful punish ing they had received on Saturday. Af ter a short discussion as to whether Lo gan and Wilson were to have an oppor tunity to gain glory in the great summing up, Stanberry confidently put his ques tion to the witness, and was evidently quite annoyed at the inevitable "Stay a moment; I object!" After a sharp, bitter discussion, this was also ruled out, audit seemed a if the last straw had been layed on the camel's back, and we were finally to be- relieved from this much vexed question.. But, alas, for the uncertainty of human hopes "The best layed plan3 o' mice and men, gang aft agle. The knot that five of the ablest counsel in the country had been unable to untie, was quietly cut by on9 of the honorable court itself ; and the Senate, after again and again voting that a ques tion should not be asked, on the recom mendation of a man who has turned his back on all bi3 past professions of -allegiance to the Republican party and the cause of the country, solemnly overruled its previous decision. The chagrin and disappointment now disappeared from the faces of the council, and made its appearance on the other side of the bar, and the managers' brows were darkened at the thought that in a moment the unreasonable change of a few votes had torn asid6 the barrier they had so carefully raised. It was a matter of surprise that some Republican Sena tors had been too week-kneed, or too curious as to what the testimony might be, to stand to their solemn ruling. It was a matter of joy to me, as well as to other Republicans here present, to see that young Nebraska the last admitted, but by no means least should stand firm and true to the cause of the people ; and the deep bass of Thayer, and the shrill tenor of Tipton, should r'wg out a loud, clear, and prominent 'No;" showing that though they intend to give our great apostate all that was reasonable, they didn't propose to delve into all the hidden regions of fact and fiction, rele vant and irrelevant, in order to give him a chance to escape his merited rate. But time, that has cut short so many illustrious things to be said and done, demands that I draw this letter to a close, hoping that when the frosts of Novem ber shall be with you, we will meet at the polls and roll up a majority good and strong, that shall spea'iHn unmistakable tones the preference of the'people for the Silent General and the policy of Con gress. Ed. D. S. Railroad Sleeting. At a meeting of the citizens of Beat rice and vicinity held in Beatrice -on the 11th day of April A. D. 1S6S, Mr. Nathan Blakely was called to the Chair with N- K. Griggs as Secretary. Mr. S. B. Harrington stated the ob ject of the meeting, by briefly stating, that Gage county was greatly in need of a railroad and that Brownville wa3 both able and willing to build one running through Tecumseh, Beatrice and Big Sandy, and from thenre West to intersect the U. P. R. R., at Ft. Kearney, or at the most practicable point, if the coun ties west of Brownville would subscribe a sufficient amount of money to pay for the survey through their respective counties. After which the chair was called upon by the convention to appoint a committee of three to draft resolutions, expressive of the feeling of the citizens of Gage county, toward the above mentioned road. The chair appointed Messrs. A.L. Tinkham, H. A. Laselle and A. J. Petb oud as said committee, who submitted the following resolutions, which after a spirited discussion, were accepted, and copies of the same ordered to be sent to the Nebraska Advertiser, -Brorniville Journal and Beatrice Enterprise. 1st. Resolved, That the interest of the people of Southern Nebraska demand a railroad running from Brownville west by way of Tecumseh Beatrice and Big Sandy, connecting with the U. P. R. It. at or near Ft. Kearney. 2d. Resolved, That we will use every means in our power, and believe all the citizens of Southern Nebraska will join with us. to secure the completion of the road, on the line of this route. 3d. Resolved, That we are in favor of giving material aid for the, construct ion of the road, and cordially invite the co-operation and assistance of all the citizens living along this route, and all persons interested, believing it to be to the best interests cf the'whole eountry. 4th. Resolved, That we respectfully ask our Senators and Representatives in Congress to use their utmo-st endeavors in favor of a land grant to- aid the said construction of a railroad upon this route. A. L. Tinkham, J H. A. Laselle, Committee. A. J. Petiioud . ) After the acceptance of the above resolution, the chair appointed Messrs. H. W. Reynolds, Albert Towle, H. A. Laselle, F. E. Roper and A. J. Peth- oud, as a committee to solicit subscription to pay for the survey of the road through Gage county. The conven'ion then adjourned, all hoping, wishing and thinking that the day will not be far distant when we may re gard the road as a certainty, and success crown the undertaking. NATHAN BLAKELY, Pres. N. K. Griggs, Sec. Letter from Quincy, HI. Correspondence of the Advertiser. Qdincv, April 22, 1S6S. Editor Advertiser Sir: I hasten to send you a short article for the Ad vertiser by this morning's mail, hoping it may reach you in time for this week's issue. A short visit to Quincy is suf ficient to give an idea of the life and business of a prosperous and thriving Western City. Prosperity seems to characterize every department of enter prise. The city election took place yesterday, the full corps of city officers were elec ted. Quincy has been strongly demo cratic, so also has Adams County. The Democrats, therefore, had no fears of the result of the election, until a new oppositin was brought out, styled "The Working Men's ticket," was mainly Re publican, but made a favorable impres sion. On the appearanee of this ticket, the Democrats, fearing that their majorities might be in the wrong direction, rallied their forces from every quarter, and the largest vote ever polled in this city, and the result was the election of three Al dermen of the Workingmen's Ticket, and a closely contested vote for marshal. Bands of music were riding through the city during the day, and full regi ments of electioneerers in every ward and on every corner, and, added to the ne cessary stimulants of election day, made Quincy animated, indeed, J.
