K.'JMuor Advertiser:--During my so journ at Lincoln, 1 examined all of the works on Geology, that there ia In the State Library, in order to form an opinion as to whether we can reason filly hope to find coal In paying quan tities In thi3 portion of Nebraska. From all the Information I could get, I am of the opinion that there Ls coal here,' but that it is two hundred or more feet below the level of the sur face of ihe Missouri river. Thegeneraldipof the rocks in north western Missouri, in Kansas and Ne braska, i3 to the north and west. At Ft. Scott and other places in southern Kansas, there is an out-crop of coal several feet thick. This strata finks as We come north, nnd nnnr tlio '(r-"e3 .river there' is another vein crops out of less thickness. I under derstand this last vein to be Identical with the vein at Lexington and else where in Missouri. . ' ' - ;Tbe: State Geologist of Kansas esti mates that this last vein is about one hundred and forty feet below the level of the Missouri river at Leavenworth. . David Dale Owen, in his geological reconnoisance of this country in 1S49, came to the Missouri rivet at Council Bluffs, and descended the river to its mouth. ; He says: "The base of the hills under this marl is gravel and drift, the whole resting on carbonifer ous strata." This was at Council Bluffs. Again : "The first locality where I had an opportunity of inspecting the carboniferous rock in place, on the Missouri was at liellvue." :t At this place the rock was ten or twelve feet above the water, but at Key creek or Rock Bluffs, it was one hundred feet, and a few miles further down the same rock was forty feet above the watet. Showing that there Is a wave In the strata, the summit "of which ls at Rock Bluffe. . . "Above Fair Sun Island," this is evidently Sonora Island, "micaceous sandstonesare seen at the heighth of irom tnirty to xorty feet, with some calcarreous iutercalatious, underlaid by black bituminous shale, and brown encrlnital limestone." This Is the first place where shale is seen, but from there down, itcropsout in many places. Again he writes : "The first workable bed of coal which I encountered in my descent of the, Missouri, was at Wellington. It is a few feet above the level of the river. At Lexington it is fifty feet above the river." At Lexington he was assured there was another vein below the surface of the river, which I believe to bo the same as the Ft. Scott vein. We all know, that at Nebraska City, and at various places in Johnson, Paw nee and Richardson counties, there is a vein of coal, variously stated to be, from twelve to twenty-two inches thick. The question naturally arises: Is this the same vein that crops out at Lexington, Missouri, and in Kansas, near the Kansas river? I think not, and base ray belief on the. fact, that the general dip of the rocks is to the north and west, and as the State.Geol- ogist of Kansas estimates that vein to be one hundred and forty feet below the surface of the river at Leaven worth. I assume it to be at least two hundred feet below the river at Brown- j ville. That' we are In the upper part of the carboniferous series, I am confident. The Magncsian limestones are above the coal measures, and as we go north and west, we come to this kind of limestone, and in northern and central Nebraska we find the chalk fomation. I have now given "the reason for the faith that Is in me," if any person can thr.ow any additional light on this subject, I, for one, will be glad to hear trom them. .. . There is a man at Nebraska City, who has a patent borer. I am told that he will bore in a nine inch hole, M A 1 5 one tnousana ieei aeep ior nut-en hundred dollars. I do not think it would be necessary to bore over five hundred feet at this place, and if coal can be found at less than that depth, it will not cost as much to mine it, as it would to strip off eight feet of earth at the surface. W A. P. EDUCATIONAL. Norma l School, Feb. 25, 1809. Editor Advertiser: There are now in ine iNormai uiass aiouc twelve young ladies and gentlemen who wish to engage in teaching during the spring and summer months. ' Some of them already have situations in view; others have not. As principal of the school, I feel it due the teachers and people to let it be known that there are those here whom we can confidently recommend as ev ery way quanned to tcacn success fully. It Is not alone In having mastered the branches they have studied but as teachers, many of them having taught classes in the school for more than a term, and have evinced a tact and apt ness to teach, that convinces the facul ty beyond a doubt of their ability, not only to impart instruction, but also to manage a school in all its details, suc cessfully! The Normal School niust be yet counted as an experiment in this State, as no student has received a regular certificate from the school. But few students from distant parts of the State have been in attendance, hence we cannot expect very much result yet. - I5ut the people must give these teachers an opportunity to test their ability; and as principal, I will do all I can consistently to secure any dis trict a competent teacher for the sum mer school, if the directors will con sult me by letter. : I sincerely hope that there may be evinced a proper desire to obtain thoroughly qualified teachers, and at the same time to give the teachers a chance to show their ability. 'I could speak with pleasure of the advancement and proficiency some have made, but think it not. best to make any distinctions, lest they may be invidious. Several have nearly completed Davies Bowdon, Algebra, Geometry, Rhetoric, Astronomy, Phi losophy and Botany, in addition to the common English branches. J. M. McKenzie. ' What vre may Kxpecl or Gen. . .!! Grant. ' ". BY CHARLES (. CAM.E. First, Gem. Grant will bo President in fact as well as in name. As , we have seen, he never was a man to hes itate about exercising any amount of lower that might be confided to him. In Jackson's place, he might-have said, "I take the responsibility"; but he would have taken it, nevertheless, and said nothing about it. Even one of his associates in the Gelena leather store understood this peculiarity well enough to give Governor Yates of 111., who had confessed his inability to get at the special capacities of "this Capt. Grant," the following good advice: "The" way to deal with him is to ask him no questions,, but simply order him to duty. He will obey promptly." The people have now summoned this same prompt officer to be President of the United htates, and that he will be. If any individuals high in position or prone to intrigue indulge the hope of managing or improperly Influencing Mr. Johnson's successor, it only re mains for them, seeing how blind they have been to tlie plainest pages of re cent history, to take a lesson or two in the school of experience and pay their tuition. Secondly, it is but a reasonable cal culation that Gen. Grant, In. the dis charge of the duties of the Presidency, will win a substantial success not un stated to his martail renown. Indeed nine tenths of those who have risen above the folly of confounding thegif of popular oratory with executive tal ent con cede already that hd has all the main requisites for administering the affairs of the country at this time, ex cept, possibly, the information de rived from long civil experience. His generalship reveals governing ability of tho highest order, 'circumspection only matched by energy, ami an un erring faculty for selecting the right men for subordinates. As to the possible deficiency alluded to, and we must always bear in mind that there is no special training school for the Presidency, Gen. Grant is the son of his time, and, though he may not be learned in the statesmanship of books, he 'comprehends his own age. Start ing with that political tabula ram, tlie mind of an army officer, having real ly voted but once before the war (for Buchanan), and having always re gretted that, he enjoj-ed the excel lent privilege of having" nothing to un learn. Tiie crisis found him without prejudices, and he took in all its ele ments uispasionately as comprising the true situation with which he was to deeil. Even that conservative bias, of which a few good Republican sup porters are still. absurdly suspicious, was in his favor, for winch it has been observed that the descent from J-outh- ful liberalism has often been as swift and extreme as the apostasy of a Straf ford, the contrary tendency, as illus trated in the live of men like Peel and Gladstone, gives he finest fruits of genuine progress. Hence it hap pened, that, while anti-slavery men or many years' standing were worrying over the future relations of the institu tion they had so long fought and feared, Grant calmly foresaw and an nounced; and, more than that, every I stage of the extinguishing process can now be traced in his military orders, j in advance of the action of Congress and of the executive. , The same re mark may be made respecting the re construction policy of the govern ment ;. Its germs are all to be found in the record of his field measures, while toward the maturing of that policy he gave his valued counsels and his pro foundest sympathies. Of all the great questions which appear to demand settlement during the incoming ad ministration, it may be truly said that none are older than Gen. Grant's pub lic life, while nlost have already touched him. at many points in his career, and engaged his earnest atten tion. For the last three years iu par ticular he has reflected upon the po litical juncture, perhap.s with the prescience that he would be called to deal with it practically : he has con ferred with the acutest statesmen of the day, and has mingled with his countrymen in every part of the Union. It would not be strange, therefore, if the whole situation bearing upon the Presidency, comprising policies, men, and measures, should be at this mo ment's accurately mapped out iu his miud as were his great campaigns be fore he fought them in the field, and should be followed by national results hardly second in value. Atlantic Monthly for March. - . Dad for Omaha. The Sioux City papers say that the military headquarters of the district are soon to be removed from Omaha to that place. The principle reason for this movement is the heavy losses which the Government.has heretofore sustained by the sinking of steamers laden with government stores between St. Louis and Sioux City, while from that point up the losses have been comparatively very small. Under the new arrangement it is the intention of the Government to ship supplies by rail to Sioux City, and from there transport them to their destination on the steamers of the Northwestern Transportation Company. The Gov ernment has determined to abandon tlie policy of letting tlie transportation of goods by river to the lowest bidder, but will give tho jobs to the best boats and most responsible parties, and will avoid as far as possible, the most dan gerous portions of the river. Last year the value of Government goods lo.st by the destruction of steamers south of that point was upwards of two mil lions of dollars. Alove there the los ses were, insignificant. This is not only the fact in regard to last vear, but of many previous years. These ruinous losses the Government pro noses to avoid, and will avoid, hv ma king Sioux City military headouar- ters and the point for the shipment of goods to the military posts and Indian agencies on the upper Missouri. .

CrnfT, President Trunk Railroad Company, Nebraska, - Dear Sir: A short time since I addressed you a letter on the impor tance of the early construction of vour road along the right bank of the Mis souri river, between the Kansas State line and Omaha, and its extention above to Sioux City, which before long, will go onto the rich mines of Mon tana, connection with the subject of the importance of a direct route to the sea, on the shortest line, through Kansas, the Indian Teritory and Texas, reach ing the Gulf of Mexico at Galveston, following nearly the line of the lSih parallel of longitude. This great inte rial line of railroad will be not less than 1,500 miles west of New York by the shortest rail line, while it will reach the sea at Galveston, distant from Omaha not to exceed IKK) miles, an advantage of more than the entire distance to Chicago by over 100 miles. From Galveston you can supply the productions of Nebraska to the people on the shores of the Caribbean sea, and the coffee and sugar country south, at a less price than New York can, because she .will have a larger and more dangerous sea transportation than 'ships from the north shore of the Gulf of Mexico, while you will get the tropical fruits and other produc tions -without paying tribute to the Iowa State roads, the City of Chicago, and great mart of New York. Your productions too, will find a good mar ket in our own cotton and sugar grow ing region; At Houston in Texas, four railroads now diverge and two more I believe, in progress, giving outlet along the Gulf cast and west. On the S5th and 32d parallel your country will find an outlet both at the head and foot of the Gulf of California to the Pacific, on roads sure to le soon made because, first they will pas through a good country all the way, and therefore one that will sustain a road by local trade ; and second, be cause neither will run above the snow line and can be used the whole twelve months for traffic from ocean to ocean. All these great roads will be cut by branches, giving you an outlet for trade not dreamed of by those who have not reflected properly on the subject a mine of wealth to your beautiful State not to be Jost. To show you that this picture is not overdrawn, and that you have no time to loose in the construction of the Trunk, I will quote from an article coming from Fort Smith, Ark., fore shadowing the speedy completion of this north and south rail communi cation. The writer says: "The Lawrence and Galveston rail road is being pushed northward from Bryant iu the direction of Preston and Sherman, on Red river, and southward in the direction of Fort Gibson, until it reaches the great Indian nations, both on the north and south side; .but no provision or treaty has yet been made to construct it through the Indian country. The incorporating by Congress of a Central Indian Rail road Company for the purpose of organ ization to build this road through the nations is a move in the right direction, though it is not believed here that all the nations interested will be willing to let their funds in the hands of the Government be appropriated towards this desirable purpose. The Choctaws, and most likely the Chickasaws, if it should pass through a cornor of their land, would prefer to give land. The railroad from Sedalia by Springfield and Neosho will, of course, beextended, as y ou r G o ve r no r re m a rks an d s u gges t s to the Lawrence and Galveston Road. For the interest of St. Louis this road should run down tlie valley of the Grand river to the Arkansas, and down tlie Arkansas untill it reach es the mouth of the Canadian below Webber's Falls, and thence down the Arkansas on the north side and cross it at Fort Smith, or cross at the mouth of the Canadian and thence to Fort Smith, on the South side of the Arkan sas, it win ie seenuiat mis is almost in a right line with Galveston. Thence from here to Preston, the great Pacific Railroad and the Lawrence and- Gal veston Railroad would, for a distance of two hundred miles be one and the same. Again. The Icavenworth Commer cial nearer home, mentions that. "Stretching away to the Ilocky Mountains is the Union Pacific Rail way, Eastern Division, and its branch es diverging in dilfreent directions, the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galves ton road, Oskaloosa and Topeka, and the Leavenworth and Atchison road, the former of which as our readers know, is already completed, and the remainder fixed realities only awating time for. their rapid completion. In addition to these roads, connection is afforded with St. Louis by the Missou ri Pacific, the North Missouri, Hanni ble and St. Joseph and Platte Valley, and in a very few weeks by the wes Branch of the North Missouri road." But your patience will tire in draw lug this beautiful picture in your mind, and I will stop, with the re mark, that if your State looses the construction of the trunk road at an early date, she will lose a brilliant jewel in her crown, difficult to replace. All sectional predjudice should be shut out from the minds of your hon orable law givers on this important subject, and aid should be extended to foster such an enterprise as a State measure, to guard against paying trib ute to those to whom tribute is not due. I am sir your ob't serv't J. B. Moulton. Commltties of Investigation. We learn from undoubted authority (a member of the legislature) that the reporU and accounts of the commis sioners appointed to select the State lands, and also of the commissioners to superintend the erection of the Cap itol came in so near the close of ses sion that the legislature had no time to investigate them projerly, and therefore appointed committies to in vestigate the reports, and accounts of each set of commissioners, with pow er td send for persons and papers, and to conduct their investigations during the legislative vacation. The committee to investigate the acts of tho land commisioners is com- Sosed of the following gentlemen : enators Frost and Chapin, Represen tatives Loveland, Church and Talbot Omaha Ecpublican. A novel method has been suggested by Mr. Matthews, a member of the Tennessee legislature, to cut East Ten nessee off from West Tennessee, and erect it into a new nnd thoroughly loyal State. He has introduced into the legislature a resolution to code it to the United States as territory, -..-ith a view to its ultimate admission into the Union as a State. The resolution contemplates a submission of tlie prop osition to the voters of East Tennes see. It is a novel idea.

The following description cf the Shoshone falls we copy from a western paper i The Shoshone" falis are situated about seven miles from Dcert stttion, on the stage road from Salt Lake City to Boise City. Th river for many miles, both nlove and below, posse through a volcanic valley. It h.as cut a perpendicular, canon through the layers of Java to the depth of about 1,000 feet. Tho canon ii generally about half a mile wide. At the point where the falls arc located, it is nearly a mile wide. Viewed from below it appears circular, like a vast am p! thea tre, with the falls in the center. The different layers of lava resemble seats In tiers ramred one above another to a height of 7X) feet above the head of the fails. In the narrowest part the water is 200 ot 300 yards wide. About 4K) yards above the main falls nre five islands, at nearly equal interval acros the river, dividing the stream into six parts. As the water passes between tlie islands it is precipitated 2 or 30 feet. Below the island the water unites and passes in an unbroken sheet over the great fall ; the descent is near 2i0 feet. The semi-circle at the heat! of the falls is apparently perfect, and the leap as clear as that of Niagnr, Enormous clouds of mist and spray arise, variegated with rainbows.. At the foot are rushing showers of spray, from under which the water, beaten into foam, dashes furiously away. Oc casionally can be seen, through the flying mists, the immense sheet of wa ter standing out in bold relief from the rocks, showing that with proper ap pliances it is practicable to go behind, as at Niagara. A few hundred yards further down, the water swings slow ly around in a hutre whirlpool, ami then disappears in the black canon be low The delicate prismatic coidrs of the rainbow and the graceful evanee ent forms of the mist contrast strange ly with the iron-black surface, hard outlines, and awful forms of the over hanging basalt. The sound cf the rushing waters resembles that of an orchestra, the small falls giving tha high notes and the great falis the bass, producing a combination not possible to obtain from a single cataract. At Rock creek station, 20 miles distant, it can be heard distinctly not contin uously, but at intervals, like the surf. When the notes strike in unison they can be heard at a gre;t distance. In the winter this mist rises like the smoke from a volcanoe. A few dimin utive pines grow among the rocky de clivities of tlie canon. The plain pro duces only sage brush. The hostility of the Indians renders a visit to this interesting region somewhat hazardous, unless with a party of six or eight men, well armed and on tha alert. Gen. Grant, in declining to ride with President Johnson during the inaugu ration cercnioiii'.'s, is following tlie ex aniolo of John Quinoy Adams, who deylined to ride with his successor, Andrew Jackson, on account of the Miss Eaton scandal.
