A correal i on Jent of the Department cf Agriculture for U&rch and -April 1SC9, furnishes the following etate nicnt'la rerrcnca to the resources of Nebraska: . . ' A iinedrani diagonally froni Maine la California 'will intcreect a similar line from Washington Territory to Florida somewhere within the com paratively , new State of . .Nebraska Uy this simple demonstration it will be perceived, at a single glance that, as far aa geographical position is con cerned, Nebraska holds the central place in the great -combination of states i. comprising the. American Union. It has an area of about 73,000 square miles, or nearly twice that of either or the great mnuentiai btates ofNTew York, or Pennsylvania. Ita population which in 18G0 was estima ted at 23.000 persons has now proba bly reached live .times that number. Nebraska is strictly an agricultural State. . It ha3-neither forest3 water power, nor minerals, nor even coal to any considerable extent, so far as, la yet known. The climate la of a medium temper. atore.1; The thermometer may some times iiifcummer reach 100 degrees at noon but the strong breezes from the Rocky Mountains always render the nights cool and comfortable. Winter weather commences about the 1st of December, and although' thaws and rains prevail a considerable portion of the time until the 1st of April, balmy and delightful days, and even weeks, intervene, the mercury in the mean while deceuding below zero only on rare occasions. ' ' .The topography Is entirely charac teristic. : No other section; not even those which are formed like it, high rolling -prarie countries, posess the same peculiarities. "There are as a general thing neither plains nor hills, the wnole surface looks as If cast in a mould. There ia no level ground ex cept at the margins of the streams' which prevail at , rare, intervals, and then scarcely ever reaches an extent of more than 200 or 300 acres in any one place. The prevailing form of the surface Is a succession of ridges, gent ly and smoothly rolling like so many great rinkles on the brow of nature, but without uniformity, and lying towards each "other at every conceive ble angle. These irregularities of the surface are so gentle, and the hillocks so round and smooth, that no impedi ment is experienced to the cultivation of the land. In respect to streams and timber ttere is a .deficiency, annoying to all settlersj'arid which, in the minds of many, is an obstacle altogether insur-j mountable. Except on the margins of the water-courses, or where the en terprising settler has supplied the de- j iiciency by artificial aid, the State is , destitute of trees. Whenever the pra- i rie fires are kept In check, however, the timber will grow rapidly and vig orously. The principle varieties are the oak, hickory, and cottonwood. In four or five years the latter will attain the size of a man's arm, and become available for, fuel and other useful purposes. The streams .arc- uniformerly deep and sluggish but narrow. " During th droughts of the summer the banks are often left six or eight feet high, as per pendicular and smoeth as if cut with a spade- Although the streams have a tendency to - dry to the bottom throughout the whole extent, there are atintervals, in the beda, springs which never yield to the heat. In tracing the course of a stream, these springs are to be found at every half mile or less. They very in size from 5 to 50 feet in breadth, and from 10 to 100 feet in length. They are generally oblong in shape,' and are concealed from view by the tall grass with which they are surrounded, unless immedi ately approached. Without this wise provision of nature- for supplying the vast herds of Buffalo which once grazed here, these "animals could not have subsisted .during the summer. The water of these springs is generally clear, cool, palatable and abundant. The well water of Nebraska ia also of excellent quality and easily obtain ed. In many instances it is not nec essary to dig more than 15 or 20 feet, and in some cases good water has been obtained at tho depth of 10 feet. The Boil, although easily penetrated by the spade, has a tendency which renders unnecessary the walling of wells. ' ' ; The drought during summer la a great impediment to agriculture in Nebraska; but last 6eason the coun ties bordering on the Missouri. river were unellected by It, and the supply of rain in that section was abundant. This difierence was accounted for in tho minds of many practical obser vers in the attraction furnished to passing clouds by the water of the Missouri and the growth of heavy timber on its banks. r From the nature of the soil, how ever, and the peculiarities of, the sur face, a protracted period of dy weath er does not effect vegetation awe a3 in many localities. The raia on fall ing, fills the numerous gulleys and ia rapidly absorbed by the ground. The hot sun andfresli breezes on the tops of the hillocks causes a free evapora tion, but excessiTe dryness is preven ted by a constant supply of moisture, brought to the service by capillary at traction. It-is a well known-fact that, in mountainous 'countries, springs which are dry in rainy sea sons, give forth copious supply of wa ter when the soil has been parched with heat for, any considerable time. The same law, o;i a more extended scale, seems to be in operation through out Nebraska; fcr experience shows that a protracted, heated and dry term doe3 not have the effect in parch ing vegetation growing upon herir rc - u! ir furfacc I lb at would follow in a Hat prairie section. The rent pest of Neorasks. Is- the grasshopper or locust, yet it has this afaiction only in common with other localities. . ' .' The f,oil hex the daTk color contrioa to aU prairie countries? but the tiago is more inclined lo-gray than is ob servable in the soil cf Illinois. . The 1 V ir,";.. 1 1 BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA; THURSDAY, JUNE loam does not extend to the same depth as in-that State, and' contains a larger proportion of silica. After digingafew feet, earth of a bright 3reilow cast is reached. . ' Thpi natlA-e crass affords to the caus- ual observer no special indication of fertility. '.It is Dy no means oi ran, growth not being more than 8 or 10 in ches high, sparsely set, and in limit ed Ojuanlity. Few weeds or shrub3 are seen.- The grasa in low landa how ever, attains a vigorous si'ze and often reaches as high as a man's head, from which the settler obtains hia hay for winter use. - : '"'.'' The wild grass, although apparent ly dry and harsh, la quite nutrious, and . cattle thrive on it most marvel lously. Thia section wa3 in former times the favorite resort for wild cattle, whose instinct led them to the best pastures. : . f ' In generalappearance there Is noth ing about Nebraska to gratify emigra tion except where cultivation and art have beautified the landscape. When Lewis and Clark looked upon the lo cality in the unbroken solitude of na ture, I do not wonder that they term ed It the i'Great American Desert;" but time and the pressure of emigra tion westward have demonstrated the grossness of tho misnomer. The climate and soil are fovorable to the production of every' variety-of grain and grass;. Wheat and corn flourish to an extent not surpassed in any of States of the great West. It Is not uncommon for. the farmer to raise SO bushels of the former and 75 of the latter per acre. Oats and barley yield in the same proportion. - All Jdnda . of , vegetables, potatoes, beets, ,carrot3, cabbage,-: onions, &a, , attain great perfection. -'--' Attempts at raising tobacco and sorghum have been attended ivith success. : . . . - . There are considerable numbers of wild grape vines and plum trees in the timber along the watercourses, but the adaptability of this soil and cli mate to general fruit culture has not j a t.l fa. A. yet Deen luiiy testea... rruit trees nave been planted in considerable numbers, but have not yet been suffi ciently , matured to domonstrate their bearing capacity. . lne eppies, pears, grapes and plums, thus far produced, are of the first quality; Berries of va rious kinds develop readily end fully ; and I believe that care and experience will produce the same results with the larger fruits. -For stock raising Nebraska has am pie resoueces. The vacant landa of the State and of the railroads give tho herdsman a wide range. A herd law, whioh renders fsnces . unnecessary and acts as a protection to. the grain crower. is an actual benefit to the stock raiser. Much attention has been devoted to this department of agricul ture in various sections. This State was a natural home of wild horses and cattle: and the Indian ponies, in proportion to their bulk, are as hardy a race of animals aa can be found an vwhere. The air ia clear and healthful, the climate temperate, the surface of the ground irregular, the grasses nutritious and abundant, together with an exhaustions supply of all other varities of food. Thus far stock raising has met With good sue cess ; and N ebraska is producing many fine horses and mules, and nas some excellent specimens of the best breeds of horned cattle ana sneep, tne high ground and the dry and salubri ous atmosphere being particularly fa vorable to the latter. . A large amount of the land of Ne braska is withheld for settlement by railroad grants and speculators. The homestead-or pre-emption settler is the only party who can now receive the advantage of the government's liberality. The fact that there ia a constant stream of this class of immi grants pouring into tho State i3 a sure indication of a sentiment prevailing in the older States in accordance with the views herein expressed ; and I be lieve they cannot seek a location where practical sense and vigorour in-s dustry will mefct a more ample return. They must not expect to find a land flowing with milk and honey, or im agine that ease and repose await them. They will not find all the comforts and necessaries of life ready prepared. Their paradise will only come from the sweat of the brow. The pioneer's hope rests on a willing heart and. a ready hand. Luxuries he must not expect ; comforts he will only find by a cheerful contentment with, his lot.. If he Is destitute of money and has but one poor voke of oxen, and a frail covering for hi3 wagon to protect his wife and children, from the cold night winds, he need not despair. With the example in his . mind of others who have preceded him, he may well feel that he has at his command .re sources which will not fail him. Necessity is the mother of inven tion, and the Nebraska settler, in de fault of trees to build a log-house, does not appeal In vain to mother earth for shelter. He can splect the favorable side of a ridge and prepare a "dug out." Thi3 architectural ano maly i3 worthy of a description, and some idea of its mode of construction may be valuable to those who contem plate trying a pioneer life. The settler cuts into the bank an opening of the size required, digging two or three feet below the level of the surface in front. . The plastic nature of the soil allows him to dress the sides and the floor as smoothly as if the cavity had been cut from a bed of solid marble by the chisel of a skilled workman. Ho then proceeds to the nearest bottom, and cuts a couple of forked saplings, of which to make hia door posts. Having placed horizontally on the prongs another sapling, he pins to the middle of it another prong to support the ridge-poll. .. He then has the front part of his roof; the rear being in the bank is easily managed. He then places on top such twigs and branches as he can find, and perhaps a board or two, and overlays compactly with sods and prairie grass, lie then has a roof that will thed water, perhaps not aa effectually as boards and shingles,- but which for want of them must be made to serve the purpose. As a finishing stroke,- all the openings in the sides, except a cixr and win dow, are compactly filled in with lay ers of sod.- lireplaces and chimneys are constructed in the:-:ame 'j)rimative style, but a common substitute for them i3 a .small cocking stove, with the pipo projecting through the roof. Shelters for cattle are made nearly, in the same wuyl(the front being eft Open." ' . . . ' - . ' ; : Another mode of .constructing a dwelling is to use sods, instead .of bricks, and prairie -mud .instead - of mortar. These materials are a substi tute for the sun-haTdened tiles and ad hesive elfiy of New Mexico, and the halit.ubr.3 are dinliled in tL!3 fc lion the name of 'lidobe houses." In these rude and uncouth struc tures the patience and elforts of the hourckeeper fare rdcrsbtlcss severely taxed to attain comfort and render ap pearance comely, but I have seen ' in them an' order and neatness ' which would be' sought for in vain in some more-pretentious residences. , . : ' f ,. In some of the more favored loca tions the settler has the materials for stone-or log-houses.' Were it not for the scarcity of fuel, good brick3 might be manufactured. Log, stone, or brick houses are extremely rare. The most useful kinds are those described, or, the small frame shanties, built of imported lumber,' costing from $75 to $100,' which are generally the choice of men of the -requisite means.' I doubt, all things considered, if the lat ter are as comfortable as, the former. Any of these structures come within the requirements of the' homestead law, which demands that the settler's dwelling shall have a window, door, floor, and roof, and be a comfortable house to live In. 4 r The first duty of the immigrant, after, having provided a shelter for himself and family, and one for hi3 cattle, ia to prepire his ground for a crop. The Ibest time for breaking prairie is be teen May and August, al though some continue this work all the year round, when the weather will permit. Between t-e moiitb.3 named the sap la running upwards, and the root will die, which h not the case when it is descending. Ground bro ken later becomes overgrown bv meada of the rtinvigorated roots pf tiij gra?s, snd it la found very difllcult to eridicate them. - i-:. , Eeeently a company, having CO, 000 acrt)s on Salt creek near Lincoln, the capital of the State, ; introduced a steam plough, costing $10,000, from Leeds, England, and designed contin uingOperations all winter. They broke to. the depth of seven or eight inches, entirely covering the sod ; the result of the experiment remains to be seen. .The usual depth of breaking is about two inches, or just enough to detach the roots and peel off the sod. The settler who has means at his command will have his own teams and hire assistance, or, if he chooses, can get his ground broken by contract at $3 50 per acre. But the majority have neither " mean3 nor sunicient teams ; perhaps only one' yoke of cat tle or a span of horses. The method of such ia to "change work" with their neighbors, uniting their own and the lobor of then: teams. In this humble way -they commence operations and lay the foundation of competency and independence. - The soil is allowed to remain undis turbed until the spring opens, when it ia easily pulverized with the harrow, and i3 prepared for the seed without additional labor. , . 'No successful attempt 'has' been made to raise winter wheat la Nebras ka. The ground, in consequence of the high winds, is kept bare of snow, and the sprouts yield to the rigor of O. At . .

One of the resorts of the pioneer to obtain a crop, when he cannot, wait for the full preparation of the ground. is to plant "sod corn.' , Having bro ken' the prairie In the spring andai lowing ."it to remain , until planting time-without -further attention, he then proceeds to raise the sod with a hoe, and, at proper intervals, throws In a lew grains oi corn, pressing uack the sod with hia foot ; or, if he prefers, he can cut the sod with an ax, cover ing the grains, of course, In the same way.. Often a crop of SO or 40 bashels of corn to the acre Is raised by this method. ' ..' ' .:' i Having, provided for a crop, the next thing which will occur to the sa gacious fanner is to make an effort to supply the deficiency in timber. He will select a favorable location, and after ploughing several furrows to prevent tho encroachment of prairie fires, he will proceed to plant on the area Within the. requisite number of trees. This work is done by making furrows at intervals of three or four feet, and then with a hoe securely setting the roots of the twig. The cot tonwood. on account of It3 rapid growth, is generally selected. A great abundance of little trees of this species la obtained from thebanka of the Mis souri. The lack of fuel ia at present one of the greatest drawbacks to the prosperity of Nebraska ; but if the present attention to tree culture is continued, it Will in 15 or 20 years have a greater abundance of timber than manr of the older States. I commence by referring to the central location, of Nebraska, and shall conclude with a mere allusion to the advantages which her position as a great agricultural centre afford.

Rlne Reasons Tor Woman Suf .i .. .. . " frage Miss Ffancia Powl Cobbe, an Eng lish writer, gives the following reasons for enfranchising her sex. in a Pham phlet largely circulated in England : 1. Because woman fulfill the property qualification on which political rights are based in England. , 2. Because the exclusion of woman entails a moral and intelectual loss to the comuhity at large. . - , 3. Because the interests of a non-represented class are liable to suffer, i 4. Because the Legislature of; Eng land neglects woman and favors men. 5. Because woman are taxed and do not share privileges attached to that burden.'. - 6. Because their legal disabilities place woman at a serious disadvantage m competing with men in numerous business offices and employments. . . - ; 7. Because in consequence of the denial of the suffrage to woman, men are led to despise and. oppress them with levity. . - i 8. Because the denial of the right to the exercise, of their judgement has a weakening and degrading effect on the minda of the women. . 0. Finally we desire the franchise for women because, while believing that men and woman have different work to do in life, we hold that in the choice of political representatives, they have the same task to accomplish, namely j The joint selection of a Sen ate, wnich wiii guard with equal care the rights of both sexes, and which shall embody in its laws that true jus tice which shall approve itself not only to the strong but also to the weak.

Her strong and active mind was busi ly engaged in planing means to pro tect the Assyrian Empire a?:Jnst the hostile designs of the ambitions Sov ereigns of neighboring Kingdoms. Suddenly there stood before her a being of mysterious appearance; his dress was not In- keeping with the splendor which surrounded him .He wore a white liunen dress, after the manner of -Egyptian Priests ; a long, dark cloak, hanging In heavy folds about his tall form : his head was un covered. " The fixed expression of his countenance seemed to defy all the varied scenes of human life to produce a change in it. Nitocris,' with min gled pride and respect, arose, bowed reverently, and said : ; .. Welcome thou whom the Gods love, and to whom they have gi-wn wis dom which they have hidden from others. Learned Priest, who art per mitted to look into the future and see the shadows of evants as they will transpire among mortals;, as they sweep down the stormy sea of life, my mind is much agitated, for these Medes have smorn to their Gods, that they will not rest until they see As syria's Sovereign and Nobles all at their feet. .. - - ' ; ' Last night thou didst read the star. What said they of my fate In ' deep and measured , tones the Priest replied ' -; : "Great and mighty Que'en, i thou hast- wisdom and understanding which enables thee to govern nationa with much good to them, and much honor to thyself, But thou speakest as lightly about looking into the fu ture, and reading the fate of men, as if it were a little thing. 'Thou know est not the fearful struggle of the soul before it attains thi3 great power. But few have dared to pass through the dreadful ordeal. Dead must be the soul to all the passions of earth, when in this burning aspiration after the infinite. The thoughts must be all full of the beautiful and good. . Oh, Queen I it is not an easy thing to see anger threaten U3 ; envy creep ing after ui; pride flattering U3j love alluring us, and yet keep the soul un ruffled by, a single ripple of passion. Days must be spent in reading, the hearts of men," without partaking of their joys or sorrows. Nights mustbe spent in communing with the unseen spirits or the universe. The body must not be indulged in luxurious meat3, but partake ot sun pie herbs. Thou must' see now. oh Queen! that to open the; bock-of night, and from its starlit pages read the destines of men, require th much sacrifice and Jabor of mind. . ; ,t I read the stars last night. They are an bngnt, wnich record tny fato. Babylon under thy reign will be glo rious ; tnou wilt multiply her treas ures, increase her strength and add to the wisdom and happiness of those who dwell within her walls. And at last thy body will rest in a tomb worthy thy great deeds. Thy soul w ill be with conquorers and heroes, and thy name will be remembered by uiuuy generations. . But Babylon's splendor must fade. and her glory die ; her brazen gates will lie in the dust; hei temples will oerproianea: ner wise men wn ibe ta ken captive, for I saw a brilliant star drinK up the waning light of her dim stars, it, was the bright star of the Persian Monarch.'

' There are comparative few offices In the gift of the government, which, if honestly administered, will pay the order of talent required to fill them as well a3 legitimate and honorable busi ness. It would be a misfortune to most young men to have an office given them. Suppose that Mr. Van derbilt or Mr. Stewrator Mr. Cooper, or any one of our first merchants, had been appointed to some small offlce when young, and held it until the routine work and drudgery of it had unfitted them for mercantile enter prise and affairs ? The best office any man can get in thi3 world is the office that man may make for himself by wisely-directed industry, energy, no bleness of mind, generosity and faith; Private life to-day offers a thousand times more inducements, and Induce ments, too, of a higher and nobler sort, to the 'ambitious, t industrious and honest men of the country thsa anv department of public service.
