'$10,000. Let every man, woman and
child put their shoulders to the wheel
and the road will built without delay.

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

The Fenians;.
- "We have ever been among those
whose liveliest sympathies were with
the Irish people, in their struggles to
free themselves from the heel of
British Tyranny, and have been
equally mortified and chagrined at
the constant failures and lack of pro
gress, occasioned by the impetuousness
and inconsideration, for which that
people are, to a great extent, charac
ized. 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

a. carriage and carried off.
"Monday last, was National Decora

the fruits of victory over treason, as
sembled and lay garlands upon the

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,

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.

"About two years ago, Morris Thompson,

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

Messrs. Ellison, Gustln, Hammel and other

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.

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."

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.

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

This machine Is constructed on a new principle ol
mechanism, possessing many rare and vnluobtc Im
provements, hnving been examined by the most
profound experts, and pronounced to be slmplltlty
The following ore the principal objections urged
against sewing machines:
1. Excessive fatigue to the operator.
2. Liability to get out of order.
3. Expense, trouble, and loss of time In repairing.
4. Incapacity to sew every description of material.
5. Disagreeable noise while la operation.
Tiie Empire Sewing Machinchs Exempt
from all these Objections.
It has a straight Needle. Perpendicular Action,
makes the Lock or Shuttle Stitch, which will neither
rip nor ravel, and Is alike on both sides: performs
perfect sewing on every description- of material,
with cotton, linen or silk thread, from the coarsest
to the finest number.
