Frost, deliv ered at the Staf? Fair. MANUFACTURES. "Are we going to the East for our wagons and agricltural implements, and furniture or any other handiwork that Is formed from wood, when we can purchase the new material as cheap or cheaper than our neighbors, and when we rcan raise food enough for the sustenance of millions of human beings from our fertile soil? And the same may be said of our wool. Shall we send it through a dpzen hands to Europe to be manufactured, and each take a profit when we have streams idle that would turn our spin dles, and millions of tons of coal to drive our steam engines? Shall we send our hides from the mountain dis tricts to the Atlantic coast to be tan ned and manufactured, when we have only to transport the material for tanning ; and our own population, who ought to subsist in this fertile country much more cheaply than in the-East can manufacture them for home consumption? The question can me multiplied indefinitely, and they are grave questions which must be ment, and in which every farmer I address is interested. The wealth of the State, the success of the commu nity, and the value of his individual property, are all effected by these re sults. Give Nebraska City, for in stance, any of these manufatturing advantages, and how rapidly would the value of real estate increase in this vicinity. And we must not think these advantages very distant they are at our very doors. Abroad, I see by the papers, you have commenced several branches here, and they are but harbingers of hundreds and thous ands of interests which will spring up within the State. THE CEREALS. The cereals next claim our attention. What is the great staple of the State, We stand at the head of all the wheat growing State, except California, in the production of the greatest number of bushels per acre. Our soil is very peculiar, wheat grows well on both high and low lands, per haps better on the bluffs and in ana lzylng the soil, we fine in digging down the bluffs just as good soil nine ty feet below as at the surface, and the soil seems to be perfectly inex baustable. Land which has been cropped for fifteen years, without dressing bears just as good crops as when the virgin goil was first bro ken. . . Oats bring the cultivator almost marvelous crops. Dr. Miller, editor of the Herald, & short time since exhibited to an edito rial party from the East a sample from a field which yielded 100 bushels to tlie acre. Corn is a very profitable crop com paring very favorably with the other Western States, but this year being far in advance of them. 111 traveling several times through the States be-. tveen here and New York, the re mark: everywhere by passengers, who fcaroe through both in spring and sum mer, that our cornfields were the fin est that they had seen on the route. BARLEY Also yields very rich returns, and although but little, comparatively has been raised here, yet the present year has given us some fine fields, and the fact is demonstrated that it is hence forth to be an article not only raised for home consumption, but to be shipped to various markets where it is in demand. The demand hero at present is much greater that the supply- VEGETABLES. "Of vegetables I do not care to speak. The statements are so mar velous of what we can produce in this Western Country in that line that it would hardly be credited. I will say, however, in confirmation of thrs that one cabbage raised in this county, lasted my family all winter, it weighed fifty-two pounds. There was fine which was sent to New York to the office of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, which weighed fifty-seven pounds, and the report says it lasted the whole Board of Directors all the year. ' . To be setious though the root crops are something wonderful, If we could only induce our farmers to raise the sugar beet, I believe we could, sn a very short time, manufacture our own sugar, and save the importation of this indispensible article. SMALL FARMS. There is nothing which so much hinders the farmers as the insane idea which possesses many to cultivate large farms. He does not need agreat unwieldly farm to run over and not cultivate. It is much better to im prove twenty acres well than to at tempt to cultivate forty and raise a crop of weeds. It costs much more to plow and plaut the forty, and there is on the whole, quite as much profit. The old idea is a good one' "a little farm well tilled,", and one which is worthy lie looked after hy every one who tills the soil. Still the great idea after all is, to cultivate just as much land as can be done well and no more. ITherc the Sun Does Xot Set. The following graphic passage is from the description of a scene wit nessed by a Mr. Campbell and his party, in the north of Norway, from a cliff 1000 feet above the sea : The oeeau stretched away in silient vastnessat our feet; the sound of its waves scarcely reached our airy look ont; away in the north the huge old sun swung low along the horizon, like the slow beat of the pendulum in the tell clock of our grandfather's parlor corner. We all stood silent, looking at our watches. When both hands came together at twelve, mid night, the full round orb hung tri umphantly above the waters abridge of gold running due north spanned the wa ter between us and kim. There he shone in silent majesty, which knew no setting. We involuntarily took off our hats, no word wa3 said. Combine, if you can, the most bril liant sunrise and sunset you ever saw, and its beauties will pale before the gorgeous coloring which now lit up the ocean, heaven and mountain. In half an hour the sun had swung up perceptibly on his beat, the colors changed to those of morning, a fresh breeze rippled over the flood, one songster after another piped up in the grove behind us and we slid into an other day. Fires are raging in the timber lands along the coast of California. Orange trees to the value of $10,000 have been destroyed tn Santa Barbara county. I a i oil s HBIS.S m m r sie -t a a r 1 14, 1869. For the Advertiser. Educational. It is said that but one youth in every thousand in old New England enjoys the advantages of a liberal or college education, and of course a much smal ler proportion of our western youth. "iet, from this one-thousandth part of community come nearly all our Statesmen, Physicians. Clergymen and eminent Teachers. The fact that a number of our great men did not enjoy college privileges, does not materially effect the general rule; and it is a fact, that no intelli gent person will gainsay, that, were our higher institutions of learning de stroyed, our government would ine vitably sink into a despotic monarchy like that of Turkey or some kindred despotism, Yet, as a people, we are apt to over look this fact, and ninety-nine per sons in every hundred curl the lip in scorn at the one who decides to take a regular college course of education. - We do not intend, in this article, to speak in detail of the men who are making us the nation we to-day are, but will di reel a few thoughts to the subject of the necessity of a regular and systematic course of study in or der to the proper development of the mind. We commence collecting facts as soon as reason dawns, and were this all of education, (the mere collection of a great number of facts), our col leges and even our common schools might easily be dispensed with. But this is not education, or at most, it is only a very small portion of it. Education in its true sense, is a lead ing out of the whole powers of .the man, both mental and physical ; and no matter how many facts we may be in possession of, if we cannot use them to advantage, they are but useless rub bish. It . is not what we know that makes us wise, but what we can use successfully. Thst person is truly educated who can put all his store of facts into active and useful service. This power can only be acquired by constantly classi fying and arranging what is acquired. When a fact is committed, the stu dentshould learn its relations toother facts, and also whore it can be made useful to them. Suppose Linneus had simply given us all the facts he had learned about the tlant3 and trees lust as he acquir ed them, what a mass we should have received ; but how useless J Suppose Andubou, Buffon, Agassiz and other naturalists had done the same, what a crude mass would all our sciences be at the present time I And yet, that is the popular notion of education. 'I want my child to learn this, that or the other thing, and I want he should learn . the greatest possible amount in the shortest possible time' is what you hear from almost every parent in effect, if not in a3 many words. But this will not do, the mind must be disciplined it must be trained to combine fact to its kindred fact, and do it at the will of the possessor. The mind naturally admires order, but is strangely prone to disorder ; it delights in having a system, and yet shrinks from the labor of systemtem- izing. It is only by constaht and unremit ting effort that the-orator is enabled to draw at will from his treasure-house of facts, as he delights and entrances the audieucc, that with such rapture, listen to his glowing eloquence. There is great pleasure in following through a well wrought chain of argu ment, but who can forge the chain without a long and earnest drill re ceived preparatory to the work. Look at the amount of drilling nec essary to prepare the army for the battle-field, and is not the mind more difficult to train than the body? We lose an infinite amount of time and labor in our schools for lack of system. And we would urge on every parent the importance of giving his child a chance to take some systemat ic course of study, no matter though it do not extend'beyond the common English branches. See to It that your child can use the knowledge it acquires, and be not so anxious for a store of facts as for a power to use them well. J. M. McKenzie. State of Nebraska, 1 Office Supt.

To County Superintendents Of Buhllc Instruction and School Boards: Your attention is respectfully called to the provisions of Sec. 91 of the "Act to establish a system of Public Instruction for the State of Nebraska," approved February 15, 1SG9. The law requires the organization of teachers' institutes. It makes it the duty of County Superintendents to attend those which are held for the district in which their respective counties are included. It makes it the duty of the State Superintendent to organize the institutes for the several districts. It requires him to "cause all the com mon' schools in said district to close during such term, ''as may be fixed for the institute ;" aod to "use his ef forts to procure the attendance of teachers in the district." . Acting in obedience to the law, I do hereby announce that istitutes will be held as follows : ; For Nemaha and Johnson counties, at Brownville, commencing on the 25th inst.

For Gage, Saline and Jefferson counties, at Beatrice, Commencing Dec. 6th. And I do request that the Boards of the several school districts close the schools, in compliance with the law, during the week in which the Insti tute is held for their respective coun ties. I request that the Boards insist upon the attendance of the teachers. The law contemplates their presence, and a consequent advantage to the schools. All who are now engaged in teaching: and all who expect to teach, should be present. County Superintendents, in grant ing certificates, should not overlook this matter. Teachers who attend the Institutes should be allowad the same wages as they would receive if their schools were not closed. The earnest co-operation of all to whom is entrusted the administration of school affairs, and all friends of popular education, is essential in es tablishing a system of public instruc tion.

Qmaha Jlcnt!cl OUR CHICAGO LETTEEr From our Special Correspondent. Chicago, October, 9, 1SG3." There appesto be a very large? supply of cold in the region from which our weather has its ri-e. Whlla we were passing throngh a cold sum mer, hope: were generally expressed that" lho""autumn broezts' would Le freighted with warmth anl sunshine. Up to the present onr hopes havo been largely disappointed, and we are seeking protection from artificial heat generators. Since the great gold excitement died away, we have had nothing particu larly exciting except our local elec tions, or rather the canva-s preceeding them. The contest is of such a nature that it is drawing out all the power of both parties. The influence of tho daily press of the city, with tho exception of the Evening Post and S'aate Zeifunj, is be ing thrown in favor of what is de nominated the People's Ticket. Hun dreds are dissatisfied with the course taken by the Tribune, and as a conse quence are discontinuing it. For about ten davs nasfc xen havo had a most unprecedented number of murders and robberies. Of the former, there has been an average of one a day, and the latter appear to corao like a flood.

The largo attendance shows conclusively the growing interest in the subject. The woman question meets our public men of all classes at every point, 'lhe managers or the Chicago Medical College are having a debate over the propriety of admitting wo men to the institution, borne oppose making the concession In the most de-' termined manners, while others ac knowledge themselves in perfect ae. cord with the progressive movement- A3 the leafless trees appear the 'va rious 'tourists, and with them our Chicago artists, begin to make their 5 appearance. We never feel that thern ' is any danger of our city receeding , from her commercial position, but she has not yet attained so lofty a ono in the- finer arts. As a consequencev therefore, we are under the necessity of looking more closely after this ten- dcr plant.

Some time ago a principle was an nounced in connection with fire inu- ranee, Vhich was scouted by old un derwriters, but it has since been proved not oTily successful, but tho only proper one for largo companies to follow. The core of the theory is, that leading men at each .agency or branch should have a financial inter est in the company. The plan adop- ted is to sell a reasonable amonnt of stock in -each city or town where there Is to be a branch. Allow tho local stock-holders to choose their own agent and have a director to thf Cen tral Board for every $25,000 of stock. This plan protects the company's business at the branches, and makes what is to rd!

A large mass meeting of the Repub licans of Germantown was held in the Town Hall on Saturday evening. The attendance was large and intel ligent, and the listeners gave evidenco of their strong attachment to tho causo of Republicanism during tho progress of the meeting. The speaker of the evening was General Jchn M. Thayer, United States Senator from Nebraska. His speech was a masterly oration, setting forth the principles ot the Republican mrtv. ' the prosperous state of the country under the present Adminis tration, the wonderful reduction made in the national debt by President Grant, how the revenue laws are exe cuted, and the happy future which awaited the American nation. On the other hand General Thayer exposed the heresies of the Democra cy, showed up their black record and behavior during the nation's struggle for universal liberty, denounced their free-trade doctrine and the infamous repudiation proposal, and drew such conclusions from the platforms of the iwo parties mar, jcii not inesnauowoi a doubt on the minds of his hearers that the republican candidates in tho present and future elections should alone have the support and the ote of every honest American who has tho welfare of his noble country at heart. lie told the people of the gallant conduct of General Geary during the. war, and dwelt with considerable em phasis on the timorous spirit of Asa Packer, who deserted his country for a sojourn in Europe, where he re mained until the danger was over. In conclusion, he urged the citizens of Germantown to vote for Geary and Williams, and bv hi3 animating epeech must have fully aroused the Republicans to the importance of the questions involved in the coming election.
