There will be a National Conven tion held in St. Louis October 6th, to consider the expediency of removing the National Capital to some point in the Mississippi valley say at Quincy or St. Louis. Two delegates from each Congressional District, and four delegates from the State at large twice the number in both Houses of Congress will compose the conven tion. - There has been a National Labor Congress In session in Philadelphia during the last week. It has not been very harmonious in its action. , They at one time admitted Mrs. Anthony to a seat, and finding that trouble would result, they reconsidered the matter and then reTused her creden tials. They were sensible in denoun cing Coolie labor, and endorsing Chi rlecse emigration. Many were in fa vor of forming a new political party, end for this purpose a special com mittee was appointed. Mr. Bacon sends in to this office by Capt. Carson, a specimen sprout of the Barberry Hedge plant. It has the thorns . in eudcient quantity,' and what is better, all point downwards; but whether it has the wood to give it stability and a capacity to stand the . winter, remains for experiment. The fjroitt we have is of this years growth, and is three feet long and looks much like a weed. The berries are used in .housewifery, and have been deemed eiUcacious In fluxes and fevers. The Lark dyes a fine yellow, especially the Lark of the root. The County Court of Atchison county,' at its recent session, issued an order granting an election at which the question of subscribing $35,000 to the capital stock of the Nlshna Valley road, and $105,000 to the Quincy, Mis eccri and Pacific road will be roted upon by the people of said county. This Is a step ia the right direction, and If the people of Atchison county can be induced to see their interests la the light which the building of those two roads in the next two years will practically and really present it, then there will hardly be a dissenting voice at the polls. "We shall rejoice to record a rousing majority in favor; tf the subscription. The interests of lAtchisoa and Nemaha counties are identical, and we should all work with a will to advance our common enterprises and we doubtless will.

"We arrived just in time to hear the closing portion of Pvev. Mr. Lemon's sermon in the forenoon. It .was a grand cSbrt, and as he related the christains joys, his triumphs, his ban Iness and his final glory In his Father's House of many mansions," .we noticed many an old Brother and Bister, but a few steps this side of that world where sorrows are never known, whose countenances wore a brighter an J a holier look as they were carried envrard and upward in thir thoughts in communion with the Father of us all. The sermon in the afternoon by the Hev. Alexander, of Nebraska City, was a Easterly eCort and well deliver ed. The meeting is expected to con tinue until Thursday of this week. ju iced upon the stand the Revs. JJurge, Alexander, Bwartz, r',s ar.a a x-ir. JLiurge i cn Ptt:rd5y nh ;ht. His scr- u was LiLiy iokea or by those "nt. Judge A. J. Hitter, our popular County Commissioner, has just re turned from an extended visit in In diana. lie informs us that there has been crest changes resulting from the building of railroads In that State since he was last there. The price of farms has more than doubled, and are in demand, when years ago they were jseldom inquired for.

The Judge is still satisfied to !iv in Nebraska. It onlv requires the impetus that railroads will give to this portion of the State to make it one of the richest and most produc tive in the union. He thinks it will be but a short time before his brother and several other monied men from Indiana will make their homes this side of the Missouri river. If they have the spirit and enterprise of our fellow citizen Judge Ritter, they wili be heartily welcomed any time; and they will not be long in finding, as he did, that Nebraska is a good place to Te up the Greenbacks. Let them come.

We regret that the con- tract nhmild exceed the errrortriation m m by $23,4SO- , We regret that of3cers do nnt ennnnfi thpmselves within their authority, and let the responsibility rest where it belongs.

Kentucky has gone , Democratic She offers the nation a striking exam ple of loyally made odious, while treason is honored and rebels elected to high places of trust, honor and profit. The most virulent of rebels re ceive the heaviest majorities. Among the number we find the notorious Basil Duke. Such Is Democracy, and such is its fruits wherever it Is left untrameled, or wherever it is sufil ciently strong to produce natural re-1 suits, whether In Kentucky or in the State of2ebraska. Policy may In duce it to profess loyalty here, but once In power it will differ in nothing essential from its kindred in Ken tucky. - Republicanism is the same in every State,, and so is Democracy. What it Is in its glory, manhood and power, Is only a type of what it hopes to be in every State in the Union.

That, as the people have a right to know the laws by which they are expected to be governed, these laws should be published in the newspa- pers, as the most direct manner of fm i paruncr tnia iniorcnauon. 2. That all public notices in refer- euce to sales of property under execu ti should be published in a news paper as an act of justice to the debtor. and in order to secure the widest no- toriety, thus preventing the sacrifice of property under secret and forced sales. 3. That the substance of all laws of a private character to be enacted by the Legislature, should be made known to the people by previous an nouncement or their purport by the persons proposing to apply for such legislation, and that without such previous notice no such laws should be permitted to go Into effect.

Jefferson Thumbs, of the Democrat, worthy of credence, what a calamitons state of affairs would afflict this community. The most startling disclosures of this article are concerning woman. T.J. T. says : f Woman is taught that she is a creature to be provided for; and until she is actually married, she nev er knows any better and when the truth comes to her, it makes her a rebel against her life and its duties."

To enumerate and define all these duties or virtues, would require vol umns. One of the most essential da ties, however, of a married woman, is that she lives a virtuous life! That some have sined and fallen from their integrity and virtue, Is really true1 but because of the infidelity of some- even or many must we cast the blackest suspicions, the most revenge ful contumely upon all ? Again he says : "It is singular, too, that the women of this generation are no wiser than tneir mothers.". O, apostasy! . thou art a Jewel; 'and so, likewise, Is ingratitude ! "Because young women can form no true estimate of a man's character." Can It be possible that the young wo- men of town are so incompetant so demented. Would Jefferson consent to be the guardian of all the young ladies of I Brownviile ? He could, no doubt, in struct them how to conduct them selves; what to say; with whom to associate, and how to become wiser than their mothers. That unfortunate and unhappy class of community who clothe themselves in their grand and exalted dignity, feel themselves to be very much ag grieved because the young ladies of town do not lionize, flatter and caress them: and when they behold the Dashingtons going to the country on a pic-nic excursion with their fair and accomplished partners, or learn of their enjoyment at an evening socia ble, they console themselves by de daring that female Bociety is an "In- tolerable bore." expected in return, seems never to have entered into their noddles. The indi vidua! who cannot condesend to exert himself to some extent to render oth ers happy; ought not to feel aggrieved if his absence from female society Is considered to be rather a fortunate circumstance than otherwise. Some one has justly remarked that female society is the school of polite ness. T. J. T. hath need of attending that school, but we fear he lacketh the necessary qualifications for admission Once more. "Young Dashlngton, with a salary of forty dollars, manages to spend fifty on frivolities -7 inclu ding buggy-rides, excursions, pic nics, etc., may almost be said to have the privilege of choice of all the girls in town."

The plan of the company seems to be that the several counties along the line shalr subscribe enough to grade, tie and. bridge the road within the limits of their respective counties, and the object of Mr. King was to secure from this county her proportionate amount or subscription, wmca would be about two hundred thousand dol lars. The proposition of Mr. King on be- hair or the company were character ized by firmness and plausibility throughout. Other speakers followed Mr. King, and the meeting generally were alive on the railroad question. By a unanimous vote of the meet- ing the County Court were requested to appropriate and draw their warrant on the County Treasurer for five nun- d.re dollars, to aid the conipjpy In their survey now being made through the county. : a; a i r ua mouon uie meeting aajoumeu. . .

There are not three miles between Atlantic and Hamburcr where the crrade is over fif teen feet to the mile.
