"We are requested by the Board of directors of the Brown vine, t. jvear-jney-& Pacific Railroad, to call the at tention of Individual Stockholders, and all others interested in the con struction of this enterprise, to the fact that the time has now arrived 'when material aid is needed, and must be had. A corps of Engineers are now engaged in surveying and lo- eatiner the first ten miles west of Brownville, and it Is the determina tion of the Board to push the enter prise with all possible energy and rapidity. They want what stock is already subscribed to be paid up promptly. They also want more in dividual stock. One enterprising gentleman, of this place, we are proud to state, increased his individual sub scription this week, from $2,500 to '$10,000. Let every man, woman and child put their shoulders to the wheel and the road will built without delay. J. A. Johnson Esq. has been appointed by Treasurer Carson, Collector for the Company, and Solicitor for further subscriptions. Thus far, the response has been prompt. Just as soon as the Engineers can complete their of fice business, the first ten miles -will fce put under contract. People need have no further doubt as to B. Ft. K. &P. B. B. It will be built. The time has also arrived when the friends in the eounties west should move in the matter, and make known by positive vote and individual sub scription, what they are willing to do.

They seem to lack patience, consideration, and concert of action. They operate in the wrong direction, and in the wrong manner. Ike Fenians are again engaged in Invading Canada. Gen. O'Neil, the Commanding General of the Fe- nian forces, made a dash into the enemy's Country, when he was cap tured by a TJ. S. Marshal, thrust into a. carriage and carried off. "Monday last, was National Decora tions Day? dedicated to dead heroes who fell in the service of their coun try. In every place in the land where were graves of dead Soldiers, and in which patriotism reigns, the day was observed. A grateful people enjoying the fruits of victory over treason, as sembled and lay garlands upon the tombs of the dead, to whose sacrifices freedom, is- indebted. Bttrpatenes-from New York, Phila delphia, Boston and all the leading eltlea areV the effect that Decoration Dfy was more fully observed than eve before." The famous Indian chief of the f QfeeMslfe- Sioux tribe, and party, reached Omaha on Sunday last, on their way to "Washington, to visit the Qreat Father. They had with them the noted John Bichau, who killed a Corporal, of the 4th TJ. S. Infantry, at Ft. Fetterman, a few months since.

The Register at Bulo is out in a scurrilous, low toned, degraded article attacking the Methodist Church of the State of Nebraska, because the Editor says some other Editor inti mates that the Methodist Conference, which is to meetatPlattsmouth in this month, "will consider the relations of State and COMMON SCHOOLS." The whole article is in keeping with lowest order of rebel newspapers South during the war. Mr. Brooke, the Editor, has a perfect right to make his paper as filthy as he pleases, but he mistakes the people of Nebraska, when he presumes thus to Insult any religious association or other class, or organization in this Strtc. Grand Lodge, I. O. G. T., will hold its fourth annual session in the ,city of Lincoln, on the 15th of Junfe, or the third Wednesday In the same month. It Is desirous that all the subordinate lodges of the State be ful ly represented. G. Stevenson, G. W. C. W.

J Editor Nebraska A dvertiscr : Dear Sir : Pardon my intrusion ; but as I am an American, and more especially a Nebraskian, and a citizen of your pleasant little city, I feel much solicitation for the advance ment of -our new and prosperous State, and since there Is such a very heavy emigration to the United States from England, I am of the opinion that if we would only move in the right di rection, we might receive a reasona ble percentage of their emigration. IfearNebraska is a little behind her sister States, of the west, in printing and circulating pamphlets containing description of her Agricultural ad vantages, her salubrious climate, and resources in general, Ivansas and other western States are flooding England with such docu ments, and why should Nebraska "bring up the rear," when she will compare with any of them, if not ex ceed them ? Since my brief stay here (three months) many who contemplate emi grating to America, have made inqui ry concerning procuring land In Ne braska, and in the West, and as a general thing are perfectly astonish ed when they hear how cheap they can procure a homestead In America. In my humble opinion, a pamphlet brief but explicit on the points above mentioned, would be of great advantage to Nebraska, if circulated in England. The mojorlty-of those who emigrate are the hard-working, industrious, economical class of community, and will make a substantial and useful ac cession to any State who may be so fortunate as toreceivethem. Would it not then pay Nebraska to look to this matter a little, and watch her interests in this direction? I being a citizen of . Brownville, feel particularly solicitous for the ad vancement and developement of Ne maha Land District, aud knowing as I do, its great advantages and unpara lelled fertility, am exceedingly anx ious to see her receive her due portion of Emigrants.- I am very Eespectfully Your Ob't Sev't, T. C. TIPTON, TJ. S. Vice Com'l Agt. It is not oftocthat we can conscien tlouslv endorse anything said by the Hon. James Brooks, of New York, but yesterday he got off a spirit of truth, which deserves notiee;- Speak ing in a sudden inspiration, he de clared a Western newspaper to be- worth more in the way of influence-, than forty members of Congress. This would make two newspapers of more weight than the- entire- Democratic side of the House. As influence is the direct result of character, Mr. Brooks' declaration is extremely flat tering to journalism and. journalists. Ph itadel)hicu Press STATE ITEMS.- From the Nebraska City Press. Uon. Anton Zlmmerer has Just returned from Pawnee City, where he met a man and a boy Just In from the Solomon river. They had fled from thelndtansand made a narrofr escape. They were at work In n field- with another man, a brother .of Prof.- Gere editor of. the Stale Journal, when the Indians came upon them. They succeeded in mnklDj? their escapo and bringing to Pawflce the esd Intel ligence that Mr. Gere was killed. From the Nebroska'Clty Chronicle. Jndge J. F.

This looks like a heavy transaction for one man to risk, but there is little danger of a loss. From the Lincoln Journal. "About two years ago, Morris Thompson, (an old California gold digger), discovered gold in tholllue river, at Parker's mill, and It not panning out more than 50 to 73 cents per day, the discovery was not prosecuted. A few days since, Mr. Chas. Ellison and oth ers discovered tho precious metal alKut 80 rods below Mr. Thompson's digging, and im mediately procured some pans and washed out some of the dirt which panned out from three to five cents per pan. Mr. E. sent to Lincoln for quicksilver to give it a more thorough trial. He thinks by putting in sluice holes tho diggings will pay from $3 to Si per day. This gold is pronounced by Messrs. Ellison, Gustln, Hammel and other old miners to bo at least 22 carats fine. Both nugget and scale gold is found. Secretary Kennard received a letter last night from the BigSandy, saying thata fam ily had been massacred by the Indians, con sisting of parents and several children, only one being spared, a girl of thirteen years old, who was reserved by the fiends from a state infinitely worse than death.

A Terrible. Indian Murder On the 9th of Msy a terrible Iisdisn outrage was committed, at Spirit Springs, on SoloratnVs Fv?h 5- the Republican. J. N. Gere, brother of Prof. Gere, Editor of the State Jour nal, a citizen of Pawnee County, Mr. Brown, of Illinois, aud Mr. Misard, of Wisconsin, were brutally murder ed by a party of Cheyenne Indians. Tho following particulars we copy from the Pawnee City Tribune. "About tho 20th of April lost.Mr. Gereleav ing home, accompanied by Mr. Scott, from Ohio, Mr. Browning from Illinois, Mr. Misard from Wisconsin, and Master Hugh Nesbit, a lad of sixteen, from this county, started for Soloman's Fork of the Republican, and loca ted near a place known as Spirit Springs. Their claims wero taken contiguous to one owned and occupied by Mr. iove, a man with whom Mr. Gero was previously acquain ted, but whose family hud been left at Lake Sibley, a distance of iorty miles. The cattle of Mr. Gero having strayed, he made arrangements with Neve, (be being bet ter acquainted with the country than Mr. Gere) to hunt Uiem while he would take Mr. Neve's place la the field. Soon ofter tho de parture of Mr. Neve, tho five who remained, crossed to the south side of the river, (the house being on the north side) to plant a small patch ut sod corn. But having previously during tho occu pancy of their new homes, seen no signs of j uangcr, lor me ursi lime icu meir arms at home, expecting to be absent only for a short time. The p.-Uc.ti was about 20 rods from the river bank. They had been employed but a short time when they beheld two or three Indians approaching In a hostile mannerf: om the ravines south of them and only a few rods distant. On seeing the Indians, they immediately broke for the house to get their arras. Tnree or mem Mr. acre, nrownlng. ana .Misaru piungea nuo itic to mace Deuer u:e. nui had been Inlu. and as soon had plunged into the stream, the red llenda began their murderous attack with revolvers and bows and arrows. Almost Instantly the three white men had been crippled wit!: re volver shots, and the vlllJans' arrows -lerc-Ing their bodies, so that they Tpere nnable to drag themselves from tho treu:n, and as a fitting climax of infernal cruelty these fiend ish monsters then rode into the river, and tomahawked their wounded, struggling vic tims till life was extinct. In the mean time Scott and Nesbit had crossed higher up on a foot board and while the shooting was go ing on, called to one ot the men in the river for the key to the house. The man was so badly wounded, however, that he was una ble.even.to toss thekeytohim; and nowllnd ing that the savages had cut them off from the house, they escaped as best they could, fortunately unhurt, to the nearest house, a distance of one mile, where they remained until nightfall. -Mr. Scott then crept back to .the plare where the attack had been made, but could llnd nothing of his murdered com rades. He then went and by the return of daylight, had procured the aid of n few sol diers, irom a post near Spirit Springs. They then proceeded to the scene of the tradgedy and found the dead bodies of the three mur dered men, several rods below where they had been killed, lodged on nsand-bar. "With saddened harts, they proceeded to give the mangled remains of their dead comrades de cent interment. As soon as the dead were properly and de cently burled, Scott and Nesbit gathered up the eiTects of their lamented friend Gere, brought them to this county and turned them over lo his bereaved wife. The strang est feature ofthe tragedy Is, that not one of the victims was scalped, the sole object (un like the Indlan)apparently being to kill and friunder. Of plunder, they got over two inndred dollars in greenbacks, belonging to Scott, which at the time was In the house. How much belonging to the others we did not learn. Mr. Gere's effects were nearly all saved; his money being on his person was not molested, and Mr. Neve, at the time not having returned with the cattle, (fivo head,) they were Biived and returned to his wife. Mr. Gere was In his 28th year at the time of his death. He leaves a wife and ono child, and a largo circle of warm friends, who mourn his untimely death." Republican State Convention.

MrV THAYER submitted the fol l8wing 'resolution ; which was con sidered by unanimous consent, and agreed to: JiesolvdL That the Secretary of tho Interior be, and Is hereby, directed to report to the Senate the action, so far as the same appears upon the files and records of the Department of the Interior, of the Hannibal and St. Jo seph Railroad Company of Missouri under tho thirteenth section of tho act entitled "An not to aid in the construction of a railroad and telegraph line from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean, and to secure to the Gov ernment the use of the same for postal, mil itary, and other purposes," approved July 1, 1662; and that tho said Secretary submit with his report copies of any and all instru ments of writing on file in the Department purporting to be an assignment of the fran chise contained in. the said thirteenth section to any ether railroad company, and if the St. Joseph and Denver City Railroad Compa ny has filed a map of its line of road' to a con nection with tho u nion Pacific Railroad, that he accompany his report with a. map of Kan sos and Nebraska, with the line of sold" St. Joseph and Denver City road traced thereon, nnd also with a copy of the order of with drawal of tho land from settlement granted by tile act of Congress of July 23, 186$ in aid thereof. Feiiian Invasion. New Yohk, Sffty"25. From what can be gathered 1 well informed Fenian circles, it appears that Gen. O'Neil has- sent orders to ail parts of the country,, ordering soldiers of the Irish Regular Army, in this- city and the Eastern States to tteet at St. Albans, those living west to move east toward Maloue, and all to assemble ih the neighborhood of the frontier of Vermont and New York. It is said that the entire movement is made against -the wishes of the present Executive Council, and Leg islative branch of the Brotherhood, and contrary to the judgement ofthe members of O'Neil's Cabinet. Well known zealous Feninns say they have worked for years, in gath ering large supplies of arms aud am munition, which, during the last six months, have been sent to the border, all now to be frittered away and wast ed in the present premature pro ceedings. Dissatisfaction is the con sequence, and disaster and defeat is expected. St. Albans, May 27. General Donnelly died of woundsto-day. After the Fenians had nearly all left Franklin, some of the Canadian troops came to this side of the line and seized a piece of artillery, and a large quantity of ammunition, that had been abandoned. Marshal Foster is said to have made a demand for their return, and the reply was that he could only have them at the point of the bayonet. Toronto, May 27. The Fenians near Trout river commenced the at tack this morning, but were rapidly driven back across the lines. Later. The Fenians at Hunting ton and Trout river goV'out of the way as fast as possible, after the firing commenced leaving .their wounded behind. Gen. Gleason went to New York in disgust. Gen. Starr is as uming charge. Detail"d accounts from Trout river all agree that the route of the Feni ans was complete. Firing had hard ly commenced when they all took to their heels in wild confusion, and got across the border as fast as 'possible. Large numbers have arrived at Ma lone, and such as have means to get back are getting away. A few pris oners were captured, and a few were known to have been wounded. Malone, May 28. The Fenian Invasion is abandoned as hopeless. The men are almost famished, and but for the charity of the people of Malone would be starv ing. Prominent officers ofthe Brother hood have agreed to a discontinuance of further hostile movements on the American Continent, while nearly all the men here say they will never have anything more to do with Feni anism, and will Use' their influence aginst it. Gen. Meade having refused trans portation, the selectmen of Malone will bond the citizens in $4,000 to pay the Fenians fare back to Rome. Father McMahan says that he has telegraphed to twenty places, includ ing St. Louis, for men and money, and advising the men to stay here till Monday or Tuesday, when a fight can be made. Montreal, May 29. Great anxiety Is felt fecardincr the lie river, thinking future disposition of the captured Fe 1 Mae?raims nla.ns Dy the. Government. Five are in jiui iii vtiiiuus places, mm me puu Hc feeling is so intense that precau tion have been taken for their securi ty against lynch lay. Toronto, May 29. Information is received from Ma lone of the arrival of United States Marshal Quinby and the arrestof sev eral men supposed to he Fenian otn cers, including Gen. Gleason and Fa ther McMahan, of Fort Erie notori ety. New York, May 23. The Tribune's Malone special gives the following ac count of the engagement at Trout river : Gen Starr of Cincinnati crossed the line at Trout river at 7 o'clock, yester day riiorning, and advanced with his command, numbering not more than 300 stragglers,, proceeded, about 500 yards, when he deployed on the right and left of the road; his extreme right resting on Trout river. He had not occupied the position long when the British troops and Canadian Ma Iitia emerged from the woods a little in front- and on the other side of the Fenians. A line of Battle was at once formed by the British, and a sharp and steady fire was opened on the Fenians. There was, at the time, a small rail fence in front of the Fenians, which was immediately converted into a sort of stockade by them, who hati been toltl by Starr to Keep up a steady lire for ten minutes, and stop the advance of the British. Before the expiration of the ten minutes the Canadian troops, far out numbering the Fenians, made a movement as if they intended to flank and capture the invaders, when Gen. Starr formed n rear guard, and a re treat was ordered. The British con tinued firing and pressing the Fe nians, who managed to maintain good order until they reached the United States line, when a parting volley was given the British, and the battle of Trout river was over.

"The Oldest and the Newest Empire j China and the United States." The Rev. Dr. Speer, of Philadelphia, who lived among the Chinese from 1S4G till 1852 as a missionary, and who has also lived In a similar capacity amoDg the Chinese in California, has written a valuable and Interesting book concerning that singular people, their country, and the question of Chinese labor In the United States. Dr. Specr's opjxrtunlties for a full and accurate observation of Chinese life, character and customs have been very favor able, ne has lived among that people, in Chi na and In California, for many years as a missionary; and he has formed a favorable opinion of them. He not only thinks well of John Chinaman on the whole, but presents us with a careful and practical examination of the Chinese question in Its immediate re lations to our own country. He Is not mere ly hopeful, but very confident, in his view of. the great and beneficial results to tho world's wealth and civilization flowing from the ex tensive commercial intercourse which Is now opening with China; and to the question of the Introduction of Chinese labor into the United States he gives special attention. He belloves In the great and mutual advan tages of this measure; and he does not fear that wo shall bo swamped under an overflow of the swarming Chinese population, heathen though they are, to our shores. "We have room for all, and ne.ed their labor. Aside from its graphic descriptions of the geography and natural productions of China and its abundant practical Information on a great variety of subjects, this book is a timely publication, in the light It sheds upon the Chinese question as applied to our own country. It is a subject which we have got to meet; and any work which gives us au thentic information concerning these people is timely and valuable. This book should find a place in every good library. Itis filled with useful information. Agents are wanted for every county, city and town in the United States. Address Jsnes, Junkin fc Co., Chicago, Illinois.
