' J. S. CHURCH, Editor. THURSDAY MOKXINO. JULY 1. The principle of Universal Suffrage and Amnesty Party are gaining ground at the South. It is estimated that 50,000 Amerl can families are permanently living Jn Europe upon the ineomes of Amer ican investments. The Temperance Society held a meeting on Tuesday evening last which was addressed by Senator Tip ton in his usual effective manner, The minutes came In too late for pub lication. It will be seen from the levy of tax e that the County Commissioners have levied a tax of four mills on the dollar for the purchase of a poor farm for the county. This will give a rer: raue of $10,000. and is sufficient to -T J V purchase a large farm and tit it up on a very convenient and substantial LasU. - riympton Zuver, from Gage County, and by the way one of the rising young men of that county, deposited upon our table a large quantity of (Treea Teas, fresb Beets, and ripe Po tatoes, as specimens of what home- " j leaders of pluck can do in the West. T'hcB.the Zuver Brothers are married, and settle down to their regular knit ting, we will give them a call and re turn the compliment. mm t m Church goers in Brownville will be glad to learn that an ingenious person In Connecticut has invented an Im proved head rest for attachment to church pews, for the accommodation of persons who Incline to sleep. We think some invention to muffle the in harmonious stertorations would be a much greater public benefaction, as it is most impossible to enjoy a sermon kitting beside a snoring sleeper. We distributed several sacks of Rus sia wheat, sent us from the Agricul tural Bureau at Washington to, the farmers of this county, and we hope they will give us a report of its growth and grade, so that we may make our report to Washington. Mr. Sutton, near Nemaha City, reports that the wheat sown by him stands the climate and the peculiar season admirably, and that It gives promise of an aboun ded Increase of equally as large and round a berry. - Ira Moor and family just returned from a visit to Illinois, and reports that State nearly under water. Crops look poorly. He was surprised at the anlversal prosperity of the State under1 Its extensive Railroad System. And oa his return home, his first act was to subscribe $1,000 to the Brownville Ft. Kearney & Pacific Railroad Com pany, which heretofore had received his opposition. He believes in the tax now, and will work for its adopt ion, and pay his $1,000 besides and them xo&ke money. The Republican party has had full control of a?l branehes ef the General Governmeat sfnee the- 4th of last March, during which time the Public Debt has been decreased just $35,4GO, 7T3. At this rate the Public debt would be entirely paid ofTin about twenty-flve years, providing the policy now pur sued Is enforced. We- are thankful that In the next Congress th-Republican party will not be called upon to answer the short comings of an ad ministration, in full sympathy with the Democratic party as we did last year. Judge Morgan returned from Quln ey last Friday morning, where he has been to attend a meeting of the Direc tors of the Q. M. & P. R. R. Co. He informs us that arrangements were Hiade for the immediate survey of the road from Quincy to Brownville ; also, Geo Adams was commissioned to come to Brownville with a surveyor and investigate the financial basis of the B. Ft. K. & P. R. R. Co., and if the propect was good for the dona tion of $118,000 of Nemaha county Bonds to the Company, and if the Company could raise $100,000 besides these, he was impowered to subscribe another $100,000 on the part of Quincy capitalists, and put ten miles of the road from Brownville west under con tract. He Is expected here next week. The valuation of Railroad property In Dodge county, Nebraska, is $363,000. By the last number of the Fremont Tribune, we learn that the taxes levied on thl property this month, are as fol fcwa ; Btftte C5eneraL ftfS) UUe Sinking Plate HchooL.. Mate.

' Ootmty Kpeelai.. 1 Utrht fcohooL, Hpeclal School Total ,', M.302 Now If Dodge county had given to the Railroad company $75,000 in Coun ty Bonds to aid in constructing the road, the tax thus levied on the valuation of the road would hvve paid the Interest at eight per cent. No far mer can fail to see that precisely the earn thing would result from the Issu iKg' of bonds and the building of a Raitroad In this county; and two railroads completed would exactly du plicate the same facts. Why is it then that we hear such expressions as "the tax would be a burden to the peo ple?" when it is so easily demonstra ted that the additional property of the Railroad itslf nearly or quit pays the needid money to meet the Interest on their bonds and when it Is so easily bhown that the saving of a- few cents to the farmer in f reight on his exports and imports would more than pay this "additional taxation." We see no "burdensome' taxation'1 in this, but eimply a relief a means whereby the farmer i3 enabled! to pay his taxes ; that without this aesistaneei not only seem, but are burdensome; We hope the fanners of Nemaha county will Investigate this matter la tbeKght of reason and common sense, and not be Influenced by cant phrases, which when epplied to public improvement of the character at issue are mcaning- bra l iiii ." . . rut II ALLY TO THE POLLS I Ed ilor A d certiscr : We havejusta hand a case of very important cons i ! eration, in which. every r.-.an in Ne mab a County, rich or poor, is directly interested ; especially the farmer. The case is- that of voting for or against a tax of $250,000 upon our county, to a! d in the construction of railroads. Now we should consider this mat terof no ordinary or mi nor importance, We are burdened with taxes now (and who will say we are not.) If you do not believe this assertion, examine If you-please, the county records, and see there the alarming amount of de linquent taxes. And, if wearedelin In paying taxes now, what will be the result when we have imposed upon us an additional tax of $250,000? I would say to the tax payers of Nemaha County and more especially the far mers tcake up to your special and in dividual interests. This, matter is to be tested by a vote on the 24th day of July, 18G9, at which time we may have the opportunity to tell by your vote whether we will or will not submit to be burdened and oppressed with such additional taxation. I hope that every man who is a well-wisher of his coun ty, will rally to the polls, with all his Influence and his vote, against the tax. Defeat it if possible, or there is greatH danger of our ' inevitable ruin, not withstanding the vague and false flat teries of those little, diminutive, one- horse pettifoggers, who loaf about towns, and have nothing at stake whatever, but who are watching with wolf-like eagerness to wrest t the last dollar from the honest laboring man, caring nothing whether he has re ceiven remuneration or not. This is a time when we should not be decoyed by flatteries and false rep resentations. They tell us about a great amount of taxable property railroads would hrinir into our county. We have heard much noise of this kind, but let them rattle. It Is every mans duty, and it is his right, to consider matters of importance himself, and decide accordingly. . ! - This is a critical time to make ven- - 1 tures. Last year wa3 a failure in crops, ana .uiw year tney are oy no means flattering. The rain and grass hoppers have cut wheat crop short, and the cold backward season seems to be keeping corn very much behind time. But, if this were not the case, the greatest difficulty is tnere is a downward tendency In financial mat ters generally. , , . . . : The farmer does not realize as much for his produce now as he did twelve mouths ago ; and In a year from this, the probability is he will realize less than he does now. All circumstances considered, I see no propriety in vol untarily taking upon ourselves a bur den that would so intolerably oppress us. Therefore we should wake up to our material Interest, and rally, every man of us, to the polls, and exercise our freedom, and declare that we will not be oppressed by designing intrig uers, with their false representations. LIBERTY. REMARKS BY THE EDITOR. The above communication is from one of our best farmers, and is entitled to respectful consideration. We agree with him that the question of voting for or against the aid to railroads is a l-matterof "no ordinary or minor im- psrtance ;" that the "tax payer, arid more especially the farmer, should wake up to their individual Interests;" that "every man who is a well-wisher of his county should rally to the polls." We diepise "loafers about town" as much as he can. We hope with him, that "no man will be de coyed by flattery and false represen tation." He further says that "we are bur dened with taxes now.. If you do not believe this, examine the county rec ords for the alarming amount of de linquent taxes." Upon this subject we addressed our County Treasurer and Collector who replied as follows: Tkeasckeb's Office, N ex ah a Co-i July 12th, 1809. Mr. Church, Editor A dwrtiser : In answer to your Inquiry of this dateaa to amount of delinquent taxrn now due and unpaid upon the book of tills office for this and previous years, I have the lionor to re port that the unpaid taxes due-on the tax Mats of this oonnty are comparatively rmall; that the lame bulk of taxes are now paid.

"Liberty" further says : "They tell us about a great amount of taxable property railroads would bring Into our-eounty. We have heard much noise of this kind, but let them rattle on" If by this he advises his neigh bors not to listen to reason argument, facts or figures, but to vote against the tax, no matter what may and can be said to induce a reasonable man to'do otherwise ; if this is a confession that the reasons why every farmer should vote for "the bonds and tax" are un answerable ; if it is an admission that the only answer that can be used to refute the position of those who favor the tax Is to call It "noise," and bid bid them "rattle on" unlistened to, then we are of the opinion that we will meet with no great oposition at the polls. ' , . "The farmer does not realize so much for his produce now as he did twelve months ago," is urged as a reason why we should oppose the tax. While this may bo true, so it is equal ly true that his supplies does not cost him so much now as then, while hb general balances of cash on hand re mains about the same. But this would be no good reason why he should not make improve ments on his farm build new fences, if needed; repair his sheds, barns, and houses ; buy improved farm ma chinery, Ac. and consequently It is no reason why wj! should decline to aid railroads. It might be, and is, a reason why we should not indulge in expensive luxuries and imposing im provements which yield no profits, but merely gratify our pride and sense of the magnificent and beautiful. Our good 6en6e would incline us, when times are hard, to avail ourselves of all inventions and assistances which give promise to cheapen; the transportation of what we raise to the consumer, and thu3 secure to the producer the high est possible price for his products. Now, we want every man to come to the polls and vote as his convic tions shall dictate. Hear all that may be said, "both pro find con ; then vote as you May think shall be for the best of all concerned. We hope to. see every vote In the county polled. We want co doubtful victory but want a cleajr and undoubted majority one Way or the other ; and from the report we have from all parts of the county, we shall be disappointed If a heavy vote is not polled in favor of the bonds and tax. The vote for a similar purpose last year was nearly a tie! We know of none who were in favor of that, but what are also in favor of this; and we know of many in St Deroin, Hill3 dale, Aspinwall, Nemaha City and Peru, who voted no before who will now vote yes.

This is only the ad vance ground upon which the Demo crats will stand so soon as it can be made popular. It is very reasonable that they should favor the policy, for the debt was created in opposition to their pet schemes of secession. . At the late Session of the United Brethern Church in Christ, held in In dianapolis, a very lengthy discussion was had upon a resolution to strike from the creed the clause that prohib its their members from belonging to Secret Societies. We are not oppris ed as to the result. We see that the press universally calls attention to the remarkable char acter of the weather during the pres ent year, each giving a theory of its own as fully accounting for the cold, wet hazy, hot, fogy, misty atmojphere. We clip the following from' the' De- buque Times in relation thereto : We believe it to to be the commonly accepted theory by our wise men that tne present conduct or tne weatner is roduced by the near approach of the great eclipse, which Is put down on the bills to come off the 7tl or August.

Case Semmes, intncss. - While a multitude of men darken counsel by words without knowledge about the Alabama Claims, it seems the occasion to remember just what was tne Alabama outrasre. The world ha3 lately been enriched by the publi cation 01 a volume or eight hundred crown cotavo pages, iutitied "Memoirs Service," "Afloat," and purporting the veracious history of the Rebel Erivateers. That bold sailor Semmes, as beaten his sword Into a stylus. ana alter induing therewith an un nattering allusion to "the book makers those cormorants ever on i l a m m a v. "ine iookous ior a speculation," him self becomes a cormorant with the largest order of maw. Some rapaci ous Jjriton havinjr pirated his tale: and not only shorn him of his glories but onered him no per centapre, his spirit is in arms. He confesses that he cannot expect to be read "at the court of the Demos," meaninjr thd North, and he confesses that there is no money to buy this record of eener ous valor at the South. : 1 et .he vat icinates the eager public with the confidence of the publishers of yellow covered novels. And really, except tnat it 13 bigger, we see no reason why the Service of Semmes should not be equally popular with the Memoirs of Claud Daval, or The Adventures of Jack Shepherd, or The Pirates own Bookj or The life and Death of Be uowned Criminals. It certainly tells as garrulous a story or meanness: cowaruice, deception, gread, coarse? ness, braggadocio, blasphemy, cun ning, contempt of law, as that which commends either of those classics to ts peculiar circle of admirers. To bo just, however, Duval, Shepherd, and vxmipany occasionally, at least, struck one of their size, while the Red Rov er of the confederacy waged gallant war against the weak, theunofiending and the defenseless. "When." he observs, "when all the higher and and holier passions of the human heart are aroused in a strujrele when the baibarian is at vour door with ine torcn or me incendiary in one hand and the uplifted sword of the a A A 1 V a diabolical revenge in the otherpwriy then, we snouid suppose, would men of his mettle be needed at that door to repel that barbarian.

Not till the 4th of February, 1861, do the sounds of the disruption, mingle with the sound of appointment . in the Confederate Navy, reach his aching car.

Steamlnfr over to Cadiz for new prey, he encounters more Spanish baseness, the military commandant at first declining to admit theSumtef to port. Gibraltar, however, atones for the in conqueror are bound with victorious wreatlis, and his unbruised arms would doubtless have been hung up for monuments, had .they ; not still been needed forhis honorable warfare. The army and navy of Great Britain were with us almost to a man, observ es the historian. The one restriction to this charming English hospitality was ' contained in - the '.order that "the Sumter shall not make Glbralter notation fruni which to sally out from theStraitrbr. purposes of, war. : Yet theSumtcr was in such desperate case that these British physicians i were in vain, i For outside the marine league rode three Northern artnctl steamers at anchor, .and rather: than see his ship in action Semmes would have her wither in despair. So he leaves her high and dry at Gibraltar, and betakes himself to London to delight asympathizing capital with the tidings that the Sumter, in her six months' ernise. had captured seventeen shins. and done incalculable harm to North ern trade. In July, the Alabama, built on the Mersey, was ready for sea, and Capt. Semmes, with this record behind him known to the Government, known to the Customs authorities was ap pointed to command her. On June 23, Mr. Adams had declared her to be a Confederate cruiser, and applied to the Government to detain her in ac cordance with the Neutrality procla mation. LtOTd ltusseii nad promised to hold her under surveillance, but failed to do so. On July 9th our Con sul at Liverpool offered still stronger evidence against her. The authorities refused to seize. On July 21, the Consul presented new facts. The authorities refused to seize. On July 23 and 26 they were warned that the Alabama was manned and ready for sea, and still tney reiused to seize. On the 29th of July she sailed on pre tense of atrial trip with clearance or register, went to Moelfre Bay, ia Wales, remained there thirty-six hours, shipped fifty men, and then made the harbor for Terceira, in the Azores' where she was joined by her store ship, a British merchantman. and received from England her sup plies, arms, and ammunition. Here came Uapt. Bemmes on tne jJanama, and here began his depredations. The Alabama carried eicrht guns, and was thu3 held by her gallant officers and crew to be" a match for Nantucket whalers and Maine lum bermen. Steaminpr outside the marine league, the chieftain, whose words are Datues, summoned nis crew, in formed them that they were in the presence of a bold buccaneer, end that enlistmentunderhim meant unlimited grog, glory, ana green bacKs, wrung from the oppressor. Eighty out of ninety sailors enlisted, and then the tender father of his men disappeared t in the roman leader. When I wanted a man to do any thing after this, writes the 6tern moralist, "I did not talk to hltn about 'nationalities' and' 'liberties' and 'double wages;' but gave mm ramer a snarp oraer, ana the order was not obeyed in 'duble quick,' the delinquent found himself in limbo." And there rose up ungrate ful men, who safe onshore denounced him as a liar and bully. ' ; jpTomtneoth of September to the Afabama, always hoistnig false colors, always stealing whatever she could use or store, almost without exception, burning her captives in mid-ocean, seized twenty-one . United States ships. Once or twice moved by their beauty. or by the appeal of their officers, the 1 A A - stern patriot would nave dropped a tear, "but there were too.many white cravated, long haired fellows bawlin from the New-England pulpits, and too many house-burners, and pilferers Inundating. our Eatherland." to per mit him that tender dffusion, and for tears ' he' substituted tirades. From November to January, cruising about the West indies, the Alabama seized five ships. Jamaica had the largest hospitality for the peivateer, the offi cers of the British squadron at anchor establishing at once the most cordial relations with her officers, and Gov. Eyr extending aid and service. Off Brazil and thence to the Cape of Good Hope she captured nearly two score more of valuable prizes, seizing a rich bark just on Cape Town, and "I found it as much as I could do," protests the modest and courtly com mander, "to write autographs, and answer the pretty little perfumed billets that came off to me." The ladies!

Alabama bagged but seven first-class .prizes. Table Bav roving a friendly half-way house on ler new voyage to European waters, the privateer repaired, refitted,' and provisioned there and then made for Cherbourg, seizing whatever Yankee ships she saw. Three days after she dropped anchor on the 14th of June, lb4, , the , United States cru about Keorsarge appeared in the harbor Capt. Semmes finding himself thus blockaded, and reminding .himself that he carried one more gun than the enemy, -ior ine nrst time and only tune decided to ngnt an armed ship. isut simple as la?o he too cries out to bo direct and honest is not safe. The Puritan miscreant, Capt Winslow in command of the Kearsanre. had tho.Yankee meanness to protect his vessel amidships by. hanging over his sides what anchor cable he could spare. Not happening to have thought in season of a similar armor for himself, Capt. Semmes is properly scornful of the "cheat," of his dastardly foe. In an hour, and ten minutes from the firi 112 of the first shot, the flag of the Alabama was struck and that vessel found to be sinking. The Kearsarge secured some prisnors, and an English yacht piCKeu up tne rest, the redoubtable Rtalnn;u"0D ?"1C. 95 -English them, safe from pur soil. The Roval xacnt fcquadron thanked their com rade for his act, and officers of the Royal Army and Navy united in subscribing a sword for the de.ioiled nero to replace his drowned and stain less sword blade. While he remained in England, gentlemen and gentle woman crowded to do him honor, and we are left to Infer that, when he finally fled her chalky cliffs, a tearful nation mourned his loss. This then is the story of the Alaba ma, as set down irr the 1'irate's own Book, bhe was in enect a British cruiser, built by British contractors in a British port whose British "officers were amply informed of her character and destination, recruiting men at British ports, receiving her armament, coal, and provisions by a British ves sel from a British port, decoying her victims by hoisting a British flag, welcomed, aided, and sustained by a British sympathy and assistance 111 the Colonies.
