The much hoped for rain made its debut on last Friday night, to the great satisfaction of the farmers in this vicinity. The proceeding dry spell, though of only a few weeks du ration; had parched up or baked the surface, of the ground in a few fields of bottom land. The copious rains . since have softened the same so that corn will mature now without fait The open air meeting held last Sun day by the Deciples in Christ near Loudon was well attended. It was estimated that near one thousand peo ple were present at the exercises in the forenoon. Uirring the recess at noon the woods were dotted over by dining parties, among which we no ticed several companies from Brown ville. The day was one of the warm . est of the season. The preaching was . listened to with marked attention. The Chronicle says tnat the State " tax in that county has been reduced one mill on the dollar. The authori- ties of this county have not been no tified of any euch reduction so far as Nemaha county is concerned. We are guaranteed equal taxation by the con stitution and laws of the State. Let the reduction be general, and we have - no complaint to make ; otherwise, we shall call for the authority for redu cing the tax after it has been once fixed by the board. From a private letter to Col. Majors, by the Governor, we are glad to learn that the exigencies of public affairs do not as yet demand the calling of the Legislature in Extra Session. .The vacancies In that body will be filled at the October election however. This is the wise course, and the one our . "readers will most heartily approve. . The public good should never give way to the pressure of private inter ests, and in this instance we are hap- py to record that it has not. II. D. Hoover, Isaiah Hoover and Mrs. Marlah Johnson, of Indiana, two brothers and a sister f Doctor Hoover, of Nemaha City, re now on a visit to their relatives in this cotinty. II. D. Hoover was here In 1857, and hardly can realize the great change that has since taken place. Then Gov ernment lands were plenty where he now finds improved farms valued at $40 per acre. He proposes to keep better posted hereafter, and for this purpose, wisely subsbribes for the Ad vcrttir. Mr, James Dundas sends us in a few beads of oats from his field, al ready harvested, measuring 28 and SO inches from the bead joint to the top of the oatsf and well filled with a licavy beery. We have seen many specimens and read of many others, "but we have neither Been nor heard of any which beat the ones before us. The oat crop is unusually heavy everywhere in Nebraska, many fields reaching up to eighty bushels per acre. The wheat crop is very light in Nemaha county, but better as 'you go west. A track will soon bo laid from East Nebraska City, Iowa, to. the river. The Iron is already on the ground. Why cannot the same thing be done from' rhelpa City to the river, oppo poslte Brownviile. It would not only be a great convenience, but an im mense saving of freightage if a track -was laid so that our freight could be .laid down near the ferry landing. 'Unless this is done, Brownviile will 6oon cease to be the point at which the western merchant will receive his goods, and the point at which they necessarily come to buy their assort ment of stocks before making their fall and spring purchases. If we re tain our vantage ground, we must be fit work to cheapen the landing of fois on the levee at Brownviile, and we zqc no surer way to accomplish this at prt-sent, than to procure the ex-tetM-m i,f tlie HI.

Ajax, the proprietor of the Slates man, a Democratic State Journal prin ted at Lincoln, calls upon the Democ racy to decido what shall be consider ed sound Democratic doctrine in -the future, and not leave it so that in Pennsylvania it may be protection to home industry, and in the west free trade and repudiation. "Give i either fish or foul," says the Statesman, 'notsomething which may be spring chicken or frog, as educa ted or ignorant people may determine. Whereupon the JYettv remarks that 'it is not astonished at the surprising agility with, which the same Augustus (Ajax) jumps from Democracy v Radicalism."' Both Democratic jour nals inadvertantly make the admis sion that Democ ratio platforms are made to deceive the people, and that Republicans act in good faith With the people in the enunciation' of their platform of principles. Tbe States man wants a platfornv which will mean one thing to all men, and the News cries Radicalism. We are giaa thnt Radicalism is so well defined. It is good compliment to the Republican party, that its opponents are not at a loss to know just at what line to read its members out of its swashy tub in to pure water. m m There is an article on the Agricul tural page showing what is being done in Nebraska by way of raising fruit. While it speaks of a few of the more extensive orchards and fruit . . a A growers, it assumes to say noimng about the many thousands who have similar improvements on a smaller scale. The article Is valuable in the fact that it proves to those who wish to seek a locotion In a fruit growing country that Nebraska is the place they are looking for. We print two thousand copies of this issue, so that there may be a few extra papers for those wishing to cir culate the proof that fruit can be ex tensively cultivated in Nebraska. The papers may be found in wrappers at Marsh's, or at the Poet Office News Depot. Tbe Sabbath School Conven tion.

Written for the Advertiser. Mr. Editor: When I wrote the poem complimentary to the Metropol itan Baud, I did not think It would receive such a flattering notice as was publislied in the Democrat of August 14th. I presume the writer .to be a gentleman, and one ever ready with pen or fist to defend the ladies. His gallant spirit breaks out in splendid verse, considering he was not inspire- ed by "infernal noise from brassy horns and yelling boys." What an epic he would have written could he have been aided by the "ceaseless flow of gaseous blow." Indeed, his poetic notice is o very complimentary j that I trust he will not lay aside his pen until he feels he has written to ihe point of exhaustion, (If Indeed he did not expire with thi effort,) and that after being strengthened by the concord of pweet sound," he may again prove his consistency by an in vocation to music, to enable him to write in immortal verse. Don't you think, Mr. Editor, that Hwas the recollection of the "raptur- our strains discoursed by the Brown viile Bras Band," that inspired him to muse its jyraise, as shown in the following lines : , "To har a noise I don't object, bat mutlc I'll be bonnci. Is, I believe, the worst excm,q that was ver rsilfted for wound. Quick from the ntreet let c retreat, now don't you think It best, Ac." His sympathy for one in distress, as shown in his last request, manifests a spirit of true gallantry. With his last expiring voice, he beautifully ap peals to "Smith and the rest" to pre vent a breakneck fall down an imagi nary rair of stairs. Taking it fur granted that the effort at rhyme has killed tbe gentleman, I propose to write an elegtao poem, at some future time, cnthat sad event.' Fanny Lee. Richmond, Au?rast 11. It Is stated on good authority that Gen. Canby will, within ten days, issue a procla mation convening the Legislature and applying the ironclad oath to the member: and who cannot tike tbe oath, hh neat will bo given to the can didate who received the next highest vote.

There is but little doubt that these three roads will be running tn Brownviile bv the close of next year. We must not slacken our efforts one moment until this is cer tainly and surely accomplished. Our commanding position will aid us. . We are right in the road, and this is at tracting the attention of leading rail road men. Now is the time to work together. Let us do it. The Survevors of the Quincy, Mis souri & Pacifio Railroad have reached Phelns in a hastv preliminary survey They pronounce tne route feasible. Jsebraska Lty I'ress. When it Is understood that the sur vey commenced at the Missouri river, opposite Brownviile, and at the time reported by the Press, had got as far as Phelps, a little over two miles, we do not wonder that the route is fea sible but are inclined to doubt that the survey was hasty or preliminary ; but on the contrary, believe it to be exact and permanent. There are two corns of engineers in the field one commencing at West Quincy and sur vey west, and the other a3 first above mentioned, and are going, east. It will be some time yet before the route is run for the entire distance across the State. Col. R. W. Furnas, the President of the State Board of Agriculture for Ne Nebraska, has presented us with a copy of the Fourth Annual Report of the State Board of Agriculture for Missouri, for 1868. It contains an ab stract of the proceedings of county ag ricultural societies for the same year. It is a bound volume of seven hundred pages, and contains a vast amount of information upon subjects wich are of special Interest to every farmer. Ne braska has made a beginning in this department ; and only a beginning. The report for 1869 ought to be a vol ume of some merrit, but as yet we ob serve but little stir in a public way, in a large portion of the counties in this State, In agricultural matters. Nema ha, Richardson, Johnson and Pawnee counties are preparing for county fairs this fall. We think that no other counties are. JOIIX SIOUX. Th known history of this boy, whose death you chronicled last week, while brief, is interesting and worthy of re cord. He was an O-gal-lal-lah Sioux Indian. During the Indian war, on the plains in 1865, this boy aged then about twelve years with his brother, somewhat older, was picked by by the military as stragglere near Ft. Lari- mle. Their tribe was tben on tbe war path against the whites. These boys had a half-blood sister, who had mar ried a non-commissioned officer in our army, at some one of the Forts, and they, disgusted with the war, were looking for her when they were found. They were sent in to Ft. Kearney where the Agent of their tribe, Maj. Vitol Jarrot, was tempo rarly stationed. They were the only Indians of his Agency he ever obtain ed possession of. Maj. Jarret took them to Atchison, Kansas, then to St. Louis and from there to Omaha, and reported to E. B. Taylor, then Super intendent of the Superintendency in which they properly belonged. Supt. Taylor communicated with the De partment at Washington, and was or dered to send the boys to the Omaha and Winnebago agency, then under my charge. During the correspon dence between Col. Taylor and the Department, the brother died in Oma ha. John was sent up to the Omaha agency, supposing he could be turned out in common with the Omahas or Winnebagos. My knowledge of the natural hostility existing between the Indians under my charge and the Sioux, satisfied me that they would kill the boy immediately. I therefore kept him about the Agency. Several attempts were made, by both Omahas and Winnebagos to kill him, confirm- ng my impression in that respect. Not knowing his Indian name, and he not being able to speak a word in our language, he was for convenience, called "Johuny Sioux," which name he retained, and wras ever afterward known by. He was a remarkably bright, earnest, intelligent boy, and seemed from the first devoid of those peculiar characteristics of the Indians, sullenness, stolidity and seclusion. He was social, and from being with my children, soon learned to talk. He was industrious never Idle, and ! 9 A. 1 soon evinced ingennuiiy ootu wim edge tools and a pencil, showing rare mechanical and artistic genius. By his own efforts he soon learned to read ; and ever during his life, was devotedly studious, and anxious to ob tain an education, w nen ne came to Brownviile he was admitted to our common schools, and at the end of his first term, attained a prize xor pron- ciency and honorable mention irom a a w his teacner for gooa oenavior. ie was a regular Sabbath School at ten dent while health permitted, and at the Methodist School obtainad a per- mium forMIssioncry labors among white children. His efTort3 at draw ing, without instruction, were re markable, and would have been cred itable to those claiming proficiency in in that line. He often spoke with much earnestness of "remaining with us until he obtained an education and became a man grown, then he would go back among his own people and learn them how to live like white folks." He had attracted the attention of many who had become acquainted with his history, and much interest was felt in his behalf. Arrangements were made, had not his health failed, to have given him a finished educa tion. He gave satisfactory evidence of a proper understanding and appre ciation of Christianity, particularly for one of his age. But expectations have been disappointed, and hopes for use fulness blasted. Consumption, that almost universal result of attempts to civilize the Indian race, did for this boy what it hns done for thousands of others under the same circumstances. John ioux was a favorite with his tcnehcrs, and cmong the boys, his as sociate, and rc?pected by all who knew hirr., tr.d an example worthy of imitation. By his friend, R. W. P.

He declared posi tively that his sympathy was altogeth er with the Republicans of Mississippi end against all efforts to divide, them come1 from whatever source they may.- - The President expressed the thor ough endorsement of General Ames' administration in Mississippi, and in reply to a remark of General Tarbell said that Ames would have to do much and more serious things than he had been charged with before he would subject himself to his removal.

Beatrice t ear. tan. Londox, Aug. 14. The Post has an editorial to-day on the subject of tbe sale of - Cuba to the United States, wherein the writer says : We enter tain a shrewd suspicion that the best thincr Spain can do is to close with America in respect to Cuba in her present' state, but loses a sum she cannot afford. She is not strong enough to stamp out the insurrection, but is obliired by a false sentiment of honor to continue an attempt both costly and annoying. If she is able to restore tranquility, considerable time must elapse before she can reap fruits of success : and probably before the resul is obtained, the llowers of rebellion will break out afresh. These considerations will have weight with the government notwithstanding the denial of rumored negotiations. , We should not be surprised to hear that' the purchase and sale of Cuba had been effected.

Railroad Interests In the Test. The Great West seems now thor oughly aroused upon the subject of railroads. In every direction ve hear of new roads opening and of contera plated ones, until it seems as u every bodv "awav out west.'? who has i good sized farm, feels himself agrieyed ifva main line-or a brancn railroad cannot como pretty close to his door. However, we rejoice to see thU spirit of progress abroad In the land, and it is tending far more toward settling up and building up the country, than half the people imagine. Nebraska, teeming with all that richness of soil which needs but the developing to make it one of -the best producing states in tne west, seems to nave sprang as it were into a new existence since the question of building railroads na3 teen broached. Even Brownviile, a lew years ago out a nine viuage compared to Omaha, , now bids fair to surpass her, not alone in population, but Jn. commercial importance, in a very few years.- Railroads are work ing wonders all over the great and glorious west. Quincy Herald. New York, Aug. 16. Rumor says that the war between Railroads on freights to and from; the West1 will calminate this week. Erie Is reported to have made contracts to Chicago, and intermediate points, Saturday, as low as twelve cents per hundred.
