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,

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. . .

place are said to be in a prosperous con

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.

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.

H. A. Laselle, Committee.

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.

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. T. P.
