Let cs have a full vote ; and no matter bow ft goe, let It be a fall decision, either for or oxinjst ; and let that vote decide the qacttion forever.

If the weather permit the farmers to secure their small grain, there will be more bufehela than was ever produced In Southern Nebraska In any former year, notwithstanding the scab on the wheat. The Brownville Democrat Tor the pafct two Issues has thrown off its Chicago "pantletts and has wholly dresfsed itself at home and alone. We are heartily glad to see this Improve ment. It is now one of the best Dem ocratic papers in the State, and we sdncerely hope that It may prosper. If there are any, as mentioned by the Democrat, who hoped that its dis tance would be short lived, we were not of that number. We have too -much at heart for the welfare and prosperity of Brownville and Nema ha, counjy to wish to blight any of her cherished enterprises, and especially one so promising as a newspaper pub lication honorably conducted must ever be. . Dr. Itenner, of Nebraska City, has been appointed Assistant Assessor for the Fourth Division, on the recom mendation of CoL Majors, the Asses sor Tor Nebraska. The Doctor Is an Intelligent and accomplished gentle men, and a true representative of the German element in this State ; and as ucb, it is right and proper that he receive due consideration at the hands of those who have the control of the Federal patronage. The German pop ulation in this county, nearly all re publican in their politics, are among jur most thriving farmers, and among sl fhelr acquaintances there is none they so much delight to honor as Dr. Ilenner ; and we are heartily glad that the appointment has been made, if there was to be any change In the oSce.

' ' From the Quincy IF7aj we learn that the city of Quincy it now consid ering the proposition to vote C-S09,000 to the Quincy, Missouri & Fat i He Railroad. The VTUj considers this the Important road from Quincy, and will it may. The city of Quincy, al though enterprising, does not begin to realize the magnitude of this rail road enterprise, so far as the same will efect the future growth and prosper ity of the city, when it thould be ful ly completed and equiped for busines. Hundreds of thousands, yea millions of dollars of trade that now goes to St. Joe, fit. Louis and Chicago, -would then find as good and more direct ac commodations at Quincy. The $300,-. 000 which she now contemplates giv ing to the road, will be but a drop In the bucket, to the Immcn?e revenue which will annually pourjuito Quincy when the road is completed. Her people would not believe they can net believe what amount of trade and trade there is to the west of here anxiously awaiting the completion of this read. Those of her people who have been" here may have a correct lica of the business of this road when completed, and they are thoroughly in ts.met and fast friends of the road, Kzi TB looked upon by the good peo ple of that c"y who know but little cf the great resoar?s of the great belt of country through which the road will pas as over-zealous for the completion cf the road, so much so as to effect their judgment, which, upon other tur! m--.s transactions,' 13 taker with te ntcao-t reliance.

SEBEHADE AUD CPEECHH3!! Sab serf plica to the Surrey to be Paid In Immediately. MEETING OFTITffi STOCK TTOLrtrriM ov b. it. c r.a.B.wicur. Hon. Geo. Adams, of the Q- M. R- & P. R: R-, accompanied by Titer Smith,- Engineer of the road, arrived in our city last Tuesday noon. Their business here is to make ar rangements to commence work on the Railroad west from this city as soon as possible, in order that ten miles of the road may be baijt yet this year. They held an extensive consultation with our citiens through the day. which seemed perfectly satisfactory to Mr.Adams, who represents the Quincy interest in the road, and who informs cs that Quincy is fully aware of the great interest she lias at stake in its early completion, and will undoubt edly rote 7)0,000 to aid the road from that place to Ft. Kearney. In the evening they were serenaded at the Star Hotel by the Metropolitan Silver Coronet Band of this city, at tended by a large concourse of our cit izens, when speeches were made by Messrs. Tipton, Adams, McPherson, Porter and others. The speeches were enthusiastic and received with much cheering. Mr. Adams pledged Quin cy to the completion of the road. If this end of the road only did its portion which all present agreed should be done. The meeting dispersed at a late hour with three cheers for Quincy and her representatives! We can but wish every voter of Ne maha county could have been present at this meeting, to have seen and felt the enthusiasm pervading the crowd, and realize the prospects that are dawning . upon the county, and the the fact that work, actual work, will begin in our midst within a few weeks. All other matters sink into petty in significance, in comparison to this great work, which will make this one of- the richest counties in the Missouri Valley for all time to come. Much of our destiny hangs in the balance; and a strong, persistent, united effort, should be made'to decide it in our fa vor next Saturday. Work at the polls, friend? ; and If successful, the coming month will see work commenced on the road. Work I Those who have subscribed to the survey ofthe Brownville, Ft. Kearney & Pacific Railroad must pay in their subscriptions immediately to J. LL Broady, Esq. The amount must be made cp this week, as the work will commence to-morrow. There will be a meeting of the Di rector of the Brownville, FL Kear ney & Pacific Railroad at McPherson Hall this evening. It is necessary that all come prepared for business, as it is "now or never" that actual operations must begin. Turn out, all interested ! General Rosecrans of the Union army, as paradoxical as it may appear, is the nominee of the Ohio Democracy for Governor of the State. This was not accomplished without a de termined opposition. Pendleton was evidently the choice of the convention. Not carelng to encounter an ignomin ious defeat, he took good the -precaution (o provide a leading man in the convention with a telegram, perempt orily refueing to stand the canvass for Governor in any event. So his name was withdrawn by the chair, under protest of many of the members, who declared that Pendleton had no option in the matter, but that he must be nominated and make the canvass, if it did carry the party to destruction, but the policy system prevailed, and General Rosecrans is now before the Democracy of Ohio for their suffra ges.

Letter frora Clem Cock Gix?r Roce, July 14, 1SS3, De.ie Sie: Wllh ; our kin 3 per-mi-i ion I would like to say a few Tronls n rdlr - Railroads : tnd particularly the Xel raska Trunk R. R.. as sr plied to Glen Rock precinct. Tlie firmLa commanirr cannot see that a road running through every town along the river, will, or can. bene't Glen Rock, as the distance of hauling grain will not I lessened, whether it goes on cars or boat, so long as both have to be at the river. Neither will it enhance our farms in value, as the distance from the road will not admit that any benefit from this source can be derived. I admit fully that railroads are a benefit to a county, when they are within a rea sonable distance of the farmers; bet to build a road on one side of the county, and want the other portion of the county to help build it, that does Dot reap corresponding benefits, is neither just nor honorable. Glen Rock is cot represented in Railroads, or it would never have given its consent for the Trunk road to be built along the river. And, so far as Glen Rock is concerned, the people are just as liberal in their views, and not more selfish than the rest of mankind; and we hold that if Rail roads are for the benefit of the farmer, why cot build the roads for the farmer and not the city merchant. I would like to ask one Question. It Li provided that no bonds shall be issued to the St. Louis and Nebraska Trunk R. R., unless the road should run through or near St. Deroln, As pinwail, Nemaha City, . Brownville, and Peru, compeling the company to build the road through these towns, and leaving the conn try "out in the cold. Now a question arises does the town build the country, or rice crra T It was not fair to the people of Glen Bock! The company ought not to have been restricted to any particu lar route, as we bold there la a natural route from' Nemaha City to Nebraska City up the Nemaha valley to Glen Rock, thence up Rock Creek to Ne braska City. Should this route have been taken, the people of Glen Rock would have not opposed the aid, and the county at large would have re ceived the benefit. How will you reconcile the fact that you are in favor of the road running anywhere through the county, and working so hard for the cities and against the county? Please be hon est. Did you, or did you not, draw up the article restricting the company to take the river route, or no aid to be given. I think It would have been fair, just and proper, that each precinct should have decided the question of aid or no aid, the majority to rule in each cake. for bond or no bonds to be issued, and if the majority of Glen Rock say no. it would not be right to compel them to pay the aid tendered the railroads. Iam, dear sir, Respectfully yours, ROCK CREEK. REMARKS BY THE THE EDITOR. The farmers, says "Rock Creek," cannot see that a railroad running through the towns on the river will benefit Glen Rock; and asks if "we did not draw up the article restricting the company to take the river route or no aid." While we are in favor of any and all roads running through the county, were nevertheless more in terested in the shortest and most direct lines to the eastern market. Not con sidering the Trunk road one of the most direct, we have not considered it so important to the Interests of the county as some others. Still we hve and do favor any reasonable means which will secure Its early completion through the county. In accordance with this feeling very extensively en tertained by our citizens, a railroad convention w&a called to meet at Brownville.' "Rock Creek" will rec olect that the call was published in the Advertiser two weeks, inviting a dele gation from each precinct in the coun ty. That convention was held, as pre viously advertised. We were not a delegate, nor had we anything to do with Its deliberations. That conven tion decided to ask aid for the river route, mentioning each town on the river. So "Rock Creek" will see that the convention, and not the Editor, fixed the route. mat convention appoiqtca a com mittee to present the matter before the County Commissioners, and made us chairman of said commit fee. Now, whatever article we wrote, was pursu ant to the action of that convention, and cot dictated by our own convic tions. We were then, and are now, willing that those points be left out ; but we would be just as certain that the route then would be up the river, as we arc now. ' " ' ' ' ' 'Rock Creek?' must understand one thing, that it Is money and not natural routes that secure the location of rail roads. .And he and all others, must understand another. thing, that $122, 000 will not build theToad in either place; that the locality. that secures ' a w a tne roaa wm xiave ,io , pay at jeasi another $100,000' before' it is built through the county.-... . , . ,v . VI "The majority in Glen Rock say it would not be right to' compel them to pay for building a road through other portions of the county, of which they 1 receive no corresponding benefit." Just ro. , We grant it But have the other portions of the county .which must pay to get the road, no defence for such a course. ' Let us see. - They say that when the road is completed the county; will assess . the road cs other roads ' are assessed in the State, at $17,030 per mile, and thirty miles would make :$oI 0,000. Then they would levy a county tax, a school tax, a State tax, school house and district taxes, poor house taxes, university taxes, Lc, all for your benefit as much as theirs, and they would reply that it is not just and proper that they should be compelled to pay $200,000 to build the read to be taxed as much for your benefit as theirs. - Finally, we say that we do not ex pect the people of Glen Rock, or those of any other precinct, to pay this tax, either justly or unjustly; but we do confidently believe that tls railroad property itself will not only pay the mctt cf the tax, but for a long time aft:r sz .h indebtedne?3 shall be paid c.T- principal and interest, we expect such rs! I road property to continue to a i lt yea and all cf us, in paying what shall then be rund nece?rr to run our county the schools, the State and the poor farm. If this position be tree.. as the prac tical operations of rail roads in other counties in the State abundantly dem onstrate, then where is the Injustice complained of by "Rock "Creek 7" We can't see it ! , , - vrrtrtns tu th Atxtr&m. HAILIIOADS. Jtfr. Edilors There has been much' said against our county voting bonds to the two Railroads; "that it is against the interests of the farmers. and will only benefit the towns, Ac" I have no property in the towns, but am engaged in farming, and believe the farming class will be more bene fited by these roads than the towns, and will briefly give some of my rea sons for entertaining that opinion : I3L That after one or two years the Railroad property in the county, at the present rate of taxes on other property, will pay the interest on the bonds and part of the sinking fund to redeem the bonds withinthe' twenty years. . 2d. That as the river now has the monopoly of the carrying trade, by putting two Railroads in competition with each other as well as competition with the river, will so reduce the price of freights on what the farmer exports and imports indirectly, from say eighty acres of cultivated land, as to save him about fifty dollars yearly. 3d. The farmer is now idle with hii team during the winter, because the river Is closed and he cannot ship his corn until the roads become settled in the spring, when he is rushed with his spring work of fencing, ploughing, Ac, at a time when he can ill afford to spare his team to haul his corn to market. If we get the railroads he can haul his corn during the dull sea son to the Railroad, and hsve it at once in the Eastern and Southern markets. This would save at least fifty dollars more. 4th. The farmer can ship his grain direct to the Commission Merchant in in St. Louis to be sold on his own ac count, whereby he will save on eigh' ty acres of crop, in the heavy in Lu ranee on the river, and the commis sion of the Nebraska grain dealer, at least another fifty dollars. 5th. These railroads will Increase the value of our lands, induce a large emigration of a more wealthy class of farmers, who will rapidly improve and develop the country. Increase its wealth in the agriculture, mechanical and manufacturing interests, whereby a much less rate of taxation will meet our school, county and State burdens; it will also cause our towns and cities to rapidly Increase in proportion and wealth, which will give the farmer a good market for his fruit, butter, poul try and carden products, which is more profitable according to the cap! tal and labor invested than wheat and corn, 'i ma will increase his income several hundred dollars yearly if he chooses to put forth some effort In that direction. Now, with all these advantages, and other incidental advantages too nu merous to mention in detail in a short communication, I ask ray brother farmers are you willing to throw away so brilliant a prospect for isemana County by your own indifference to your own interests, and let Nebraska City and other points get what is now within our own grasp, for fear you may have to pay five to ten dollars per quarter section additional tax, for one or two years, until the roads are built and taxed ? Some say, what do I care whether my laud is worth ten or fifty dollars per acre? You may not now wish to sell, but may at some future time. But suppose you never selL Yet at your death your children will do so, If you have but one piece of land. And think you it will make no differ ence In their pecuniary welfare, whether the land is worth ten or seventy-five dollars per acre, when they come to divide the money and start in business for themselves ? ; Again. Look at the results of the enterprise of people in other States, in building railroads. What has de veloped Illinois, and made her one of the most wealthy and ' prosperous States of the Un ion ? and still pushing her onward and upward in the mag nificent and proud career of wealth, learning and refinement? Her pub lic spirit in railroads and other kindred enterprises. , Nebraska has an. equal chance with soil, climate: and health, for a glorioo3 and magnificent career. If we will shake off our stinginess and old fogy ism, and be up and doing, and show some public spirit, instead of holding on to every dollar that gets In our clutches as though it was the last we ever expected to get. You may call it economy; but. the man who will bold on, miser-like, to a few dol lars, and thereby miss making hun dreds, is not a wise man, to say the least. ' " . . Again I ask, are yon not willing to contribute, something, of your own free will and accord, to the general prosperity of your county and State; especially when your children are to be beneficiaries and participants in the general good of society? Let us as farmers, then, no longer lie supine ly on our backs, and hug the delusive phantom of hope that Railroad pros perity and- wealth will come to us without our raising a finger. The ex perience of other communities, in other States, prove to the contrary. Your truly, , . I E. Bckxet Stephens. The Jorndero, of Algeciras, an nounces in large type, that the abdi cation of Dona Isabel in favor of the Prince of Asturias is a settled thing, and that the Prince is to marrv a daughter of Queen Victoria, who will. in consequence, cede uibrlter to Spain.

We left Peru Thursday afrnoon en route for Tecumseh to attend the Teacher's Association of that county. The roads were pretty grxxl consider ing the frequent rains, but one feature in our Nebraska rmdsis exceedirly annoying and ought to be remedy J. After crossing the Neznaha zt FL'. er's Bridge we drove apparently into the barn-vard of some farmer, and after opening two gates and goin about a quarter of a mile, we were again the open country. Four or five miles farther west we had another ep isode, having crossed quite a branch we wandered about in the brush on the other side, following what appear ed to be a road, until we found our selves again in some man's front yard. About eight miles above Te cumseh we had to open another gate and go thraugh another yard in order to cross Spring creek. We had two or three other similar adventures be fore reaching home, and we though we would ask our friends of the 4i rertvter If they could suggest any remedy for this -evil in traveling,, for it certainly Is a great source of annoy ance to travelers. It looks strange that the county should build a bridge like that called Fisher's bridge, and leave a man in barn-yard when he has crossed it, with no ejrress except through two or three gates. - But we had a very pleasant time at Tecumseh; found the people fully alive in every respect. A large appreciative audience on Friday evening, at the Court House, gave token of their lively interest in the cause of education ; and the man ner in which the Association was con ducted on Saturday, showed that Johnson county has a No. 1 man, in the person of Mr. Phillips,' thefr ear nest and energetic County Superin tendenL - J. M. McKexzie. Nemaha City, July 13, 1869. Dear Editor: As every little town irr our county has a representative who takes great interest in puffing through papers, excepting the little city of Nemaha, let as have room for a tew remarKs lor tnis uuie village, which has the most natural beauty as a town sight of any on the Missouri river, and tne country ior miles Dacs of like beauty ; being the garden spot of the State. .Nemaha, as a business point, can not be surpassed by any town in the county, and all It wants to give it a start is a few more live men in it with a little money and energy to keep it in motion. There has never been any induce ments offered to any person to come here, from the simple reason that those doing business have never ad vertised in our county papera to let it be known abroad that there was any business done here. We have direct river communica tion with one of the best markets in the United States, (St. Louis.) and on the line of the St. Louis and Nebras ka Trunk Railroad. Any parties wishing to seek a good place for business, Nemaha City is the place, as the surrounding country will prove this to their satisfaction at once. As an outlet for grain and produce. it is among the best points in the State. Please give this opinion vent in the columns of your next issue and oblige a hearty supporter of the4fcerfcr. Facing Doth TTaya. The Sham Democracy of Ohio have just concocted a Copperhead platform and nominated thereon a loyal Uniop soldier, Gen. Rosecrans, for Governor. The World thinks this a remarkably nice arrangement, and eulogizes it in the following terms : The Democracy of Ohio ! opened their c&mpaistn by a stroke no bojl as to be almost (rtortiin; butUlsatjodicionnasitigdArlne. It reanirea aome effort to adjust tne Immnl- nation to the fact that the Democrats of Ohio have decided to run Gen. Howecrans as their candidate for Gorei-nor. It Is a remarkable sacrifice of prejadi- and rcnentmeat In the parsTiit of a cJe&trawe ena. ittaonuiat toe nolitlm of the State are passing Into fin era. Gen. Rosecrans is a Bridge on which tens of tboosanda of Ohio citizens can easily pass over Into tne lemocruc party; and tne platform Jnst adopted I well calculated toi keep the party steady and unanimous in the support or so ooiaa tic set. iikmwix ieei most hesitation about the ticket find a com pensation In the platform, and vice Tt. The platform and ticket taken toirether, form a combination waica wui bring more voters to the poll, on the Iemocrstlc side, than any other that is possible under the elrcamst&o- cea. It Is a very oextrUms instance ox adap ting the plan of battle to the nature of the ground on which it Is to be foaght. ' Comments By TiieTkibcxe. , The World speaks of this as if it were a new dodge, when it is a fact worn in read bare, it was tried at Chicago in 1S&4, when Gen McClellan was nominated for President on a platform m copparhead that even he protested if. It was tried 'again in ISG5, when the Democratic ticket was headed by S locum one of the four great Generals' of the War," as The World assured Its readers. It was tried again Last : Fall : with Frank Dlair and again resulted disastrously. The Mosaic veto on yoking together animals of diverse kinds our Shams seem to delisrht in defying on a calcuv lation that those who can't stomache their platform will yet swallow it for the sake of one of their candidates. The World ought to instruct and edi fy Its readers with Sterne's story of the two nuns who undertook to make their sulky mule get on by halving the naughty words by which the muleteers were accustomed to" Incite him to locomotion. The experiment proved a mclancholv failnre, as in the case of the -Democracy. They tried it thoroughly, each in turn rronouncinrr a syllable of the bad 'words but to no pnrpQseat last:; i; . ... . 'I "The mule docs no understand uV' said the novice. "No but the devil does." responded the abbess. . The Parvtucier said yesterdav morn ing: "The norai notion of Gen.

The heat was to great for the approach cf a skill or tug, and It was expected that It would prove unbearable to the two sufferers, and that they would release their hold and accept the quicker death by drowning. But at the most hopeless minute the head lines of the burning boat burned in two and the boat commenced swinging toward the shore. Nearer and nearer it came, until within fifteen or twenty feet of the shore, where it stopped. From this point. Hill, aided by poles and lines, reached the shore : but bis companion Holms now' nearly exhausted, sank into the water. The heat was too In tense to approach, without incurring great dan rer. and for a moment it was thought that after all. Holms would perish. "But a young man in the crowd, whose name we could not learn more self sai riScing than the rest. plunged into the river, and in th very face of the roaring fiames, rescued the struggling man from what prom Ised to his watery grave.

Fearful Deluge In Kansan . : ' Great IosirEdrai'- The accounts from Kansas -of -the tremendous rains and goods In that State, on Thursday of last week, are of a most Ead and terrible character. In the neighborhood of Junction Citv there was a perfect deluge, the coun try being literally drowned out. ' At Marshall, thirteen persons, men, wo men and children were caught in the terrible flood aad drowned. All the the creeks in that region were over flowed. 'Bridges, crops, houses, rail roads, and much other property, were destroyed. .

Mr. B. had purchased mowing machine and was prepannsr to start home, when his mules toot fright at a passing locomotive and started to run away. In his efforts to stop tbem Mr. Brush a was thrown with great violence against the cutter bar of the machine, the teeth striking his back in the region of the neck and shoulders, inflicting several very ugly gashes. Held in this precarious situ ation. he was dragged a distance of perhaps fifty yards by the frightened mules, resulting in very severe in jun to hU spinal column. Drs. Tracy, of this place, and Crane, of Brownville, were called to administer to the want" of the unfortunate man, and an ex amination by the latter, (he having arrived at hand first.) satisfied him that the spinal cord was badly injured if not entirely severed. " The only wonder is that he was not killed out right. ' Instant 'death was probably" averted by the cutter bar having been thrown out of gear. P. S. Since the above was put in type we learn tnat Mr. itrusna is gaining somewhat, and that his symp toms are more favorable. Atchison County Joxsmat.
