"Workuipon this devoutly wfobed- for thoroughfare 1b now being vigor ously pushed forward'. As wo write, fourcar loads of bridge timber await nt Phelfcs transportation hither, and teams are passing up Mam street bear ing at their heels Iiugir spiles or piles, which in a few days will form bridges over which the locomotive can run. A large force is engaged on different sections of the wort, and a swjtch jb being built from the main track to the river over which to convey tim ber and Iron, and on which to unship tho locomotive which Is now on the way by barges from Pennsylvania. We notice that Eome of our pnople nru fitlll a little Incredulous as to the final success of this enterprise. Fail ure never entered Into anything' ever undertaken by lorn Scott, of Penn sylvania, Jewctt, Ben Smith, or Gov. Dennisou of Ohio, aud Dr. Co-averse of Union Citj, Ind. , or the other gen tlemen of worth and. wealth who have plighted their faith to carry on the work as fast as- money can push it. The line is already under con tract as wo understood it, to the wes tern edge-of Gage county, and in less than two weeks the whistle of the lo comotive wiil be heard upon this side of the river as it starts on its west- em course seeking its outlet at Fort Kearney .and Denver. We were in hopes of being able to present other improtant intelligence this week, but an embargo has been placed upon it just now. But ere ma ny days the facts will assert them selves and fill the breast of every cit zen of Brownville with enthusiastic pride. "Look out for the cars when the bell rings." T POLITICAL. Jn to-day's paper we publish ex tracts from other journals touching the lato ejection In Nemaha, from which it will be seen that tho full credit (?) attaching to tho defeat of our party in that struggle is affixed to Col. T. J. Majors. We regret the ne cessity Imposed upon us of adding our evidence to tho volume of testi mony already in. CoL Majors was chairman of the Re publican County Central Committee, and, as such, called the mass meeting of the party, by and through which the Primary Election system was a doptcd. More than this, he was act- lvo in writing letters to the leading Republicans of the county to present themselves at said meeting, and in a speech made in this oity on the ques tion of tho adoption of the primary by3tem, he said that he recognized the importance attaching to unity and harmony in the party, and that he stood ready to accept it in good faith, and, as a Republican, was prepared to balance all old accounts by destroy ing and ignoring tho past, and recog nizing -alLas peers, who with him pre sented a firm front toward the enemy. Primary Election day came. Col. M. struggled, as ho had tho undispu ted right to do, to defeat the nomina tion of Mr. Daily. lie was not suc cessful. He then bent his energies to defeat his election, in which ho was but too successful, for in weakening a portion of tho ticket he destroyed ihe whole, and the Sheriff and Probate Judge, fell with the Treasurer. It is easier to tear down than to build upr A coan bearing in his own Individuality, the trust, confidence and honors of his party, as Col. M. did, can much more easily destroy than buiid up. He that demolished the Temple of Diana in a night could not have erected it in a life time. With his Republican peers, exerci Eing tho same or less effort he eofild bavo ferried over every candidate a cross tho Rubicon to the goal of vic tory. But a personal pique toward Mr. Daily made cold his partizau zeal -whilo it warmed his individual griev ances and controlled his powers. Wo write theso lines more in sorrow than in auger. Our relations with tho Col. have, since acquaintance, been close, and as we supposed, confi dential. But he deceived the confi dence reposed in himjand leaving us went into battle with and for the de mocracy. To him and his efforts is ascribed tho defeat of tho Republican candidates, and to such effort we are indebted in a large balance on the wrong side of our ledger. The Ad vertiser can livo without official patronage, but it could live much bet ter and easier with it. On- this ac count we have no tears to shed, but ve cannot smile upon those who Biruck down our party and turned it over to the jibes and ridicule of rebels and copperheads. Before election Col. .M. agreed with and proposed to associate efforts with us to secure the triumph of our party, but with Ovid mentally said "I see the right, and I approve It too, "". .

On last Thursday morning, in com pany with 1L C. Lett, Esq., we paid a visit to our hich school. Arriving we were gracefuKly receivedby the principal, Prof. Rich. Arriving at 9 o'clock, we had the pleasure of seeing the pupils respond to the tap of the bell, and hastily, yet orderly file into the several rooms and take their respective seats. After prayer and the reading of a psalm in concert, Prof. Dye took his seatatthe melodeon and sang a beau tiful song, the school uttuukig their voices to the air, and rendering the piece with zest and singular harmony. Prof. D. then vteot to the black-board and gave a lesson in the rudiments of music,, every example being pleasu rable received by the children, and tho questions propounded were lu cidly and satisfactorily answered. Prof. D.'s services have been engaged by the school director' for o months, in which time the children will one and all be so far advanced in this beautiful study and Accomplishment as to enablo them to perfect them selves as readers of snusic by tiieir own efforts. The Directors and schol ars are indeed fortunate in securing the aid of such an accomplished mu sical instructor as Prof. D. Prof. R. is assisted In his room by Miss Maggie E. Muir and Miss Mc Naughton. Stepping Into an adjoining recita tion room we had the pleasure of see ing Miss M. examine a class in Ge ometr', and boys and girls execute examples on the board. And right here we feel impelled to allude to a fact not generally recog nized, i. e., that geometry, algebra and mathematics tend more to give nerve and strength to the brain than any other known studies that it (for we now class them all in tho word "mathematics") awakens the reason ing and mental faculties more than any other science extant in a word, to become full conversant with any science, requires, first, a familiar ac quaintance with mathematics, and is found man's best guide through the labyrinths of science, as matter in whatever condition or circumstance, is dependent upon mathematical cause and effect. We know that parents are too fre quently prone to look upon geometry, chemistry and kindred sciences as too abstract in their character to be of service to children, but let such be come acquainted with the pupils who are properly cultivated in these sci ences and compare them with those who have been Indulged in withdraw ing their minds from them, and com parison as to calibre of brain and pow er of discrimination will carry con viction of error in conclusion. And right here too, we will diverge to demonstrate how interesting even the study of chemistry, tho heaviest of sciencies, is. In the study the pupils become fascina ted with the tradition that tha old monks used to arrange with the dy ing to convert morUl remains into saltpetre laugh at the pleasurable emotions exhibited by theje drawing their last breath thai they were not par-sing forever from earth, but would icturn to season, a lot of bes;f cr bacon, or to supply material with which to blow some fellow's brains out that many flowers derived their most deli cious aroma from the foulest stench and that In accordance with the sentence of tho Infinite man's re mains must feed the Polar bear, En glish willow, American pie-plant or other vegetation Also the chemical tradition that from the remains of Roger Williams sprang an oak tree, the brain producing acorns, upon which swine could feed, aud the back bone, which in life refused to yield to mortal authority, went to make up the gnarled, unyielding oak timber. Then the idea that tho water which we driuk is the same which sprang from tho rock which the Patriarch father cleft and tho oxygen which we breathe is molecules of that which floated in space in the days of the prophets. And that seeming misno mer that decay is an element in and of the world's growth.; Yes, all these, studies enable the pupil to roll away stones from the sepulchre of igno rance and error and shrouded figures to spring into new and unyielding life. We then passed into auother reci tation room where we found Miss Mc Naughton examining a class in math ematics, and were struck with the fin ish characterizing the figures upou the black-board, a feature usually ne glected by teachers. Here, as in Miss Muir's room, the scholars acquitted themselves with much credit. Passing down stairs we entered the rooms of Miss Johnston, Miss Brooke, Mrs. Ebrightand Miss Bell, in all of which we found tho children exhibi ting pride and interest in their stud ies, and the teachers equally proud of their charges. We found upwards of 300 scholars present 65 in Prof. R.'s room G9 in Miss Johnston's 70 in Miss Brooke's SOm Mrs. Ebright's, and 52 in Miss Bell's. The school building is one credita ble to our people and comfortable for teachers and pupils. But here again we are forced to allude to the want of a sidewalk leading thither, and our city lathers should be ashamed of themselves ju compelling the little ones to wade through mud ankle deep in rainy weather. On tho whole, our visit to the school was exceedingly pleasnnfc, ponvinclng us that Prof. Rich deserves the hjgh rank lie holds in Nebraska as a teach erevidenced by the fact, as stated in the gjtate Superintendent's report that ho receives higher pay than any oth er pedagogue in the State and that his assistants are equal to the respon sibility attaching to their positions. We will embrace an early opportuni ty to call again when we have more time to stay, and more room and leia- ure in which to present our impress ions.

C. R. R. Co. La-j Dki-'t I. C. R. R. Co. Chicago, Oct. 21. Dear Major : I have neither time nor heart to write much. The fire started at the corner of Jefferson and Dekoven Btreet on the West side, crossed the River (south branch) a lit tle south of Van Bureu street bridge and swept out all of the souih side from Harrison street north. In the first ward Land's Block at Randolph Street Bridge and .Elevator B. east of the I. C. R. R. Freight depot are the only houses unhurt. The custom House, Court House, Tribune Build ing and First National Bank walls are standing, but the inside burnt out completely. The rest of the build ings as far south as Harrison street except a part of a block between Con gress and Harrison, a church on the corner of Wabash and Harrison, Knight's block on Harrison, and a wooden school house on Harrison West of Clark are all that is left in the ?ccond ward. The whole north side is burned down from the River to Lincoln Park, except one frame house hplnmrimr to Mahlon Oirden. and a small strip on the north branch of the river. I send you a map which shows the district burnt, which is about 2,300 acres. Tho West side is not correctly shown, a pencil line shows it a3 it is and also the south side. My oflice, and the depot are all in ruins. Our ollice is ordered to Cen tralia. We are now located in a car, near the Central depot. If I had time I would give vou many more details, but I have not. About 100,000 men, women and children are houseless. There aro thousauds of wooden shan ties, already up among the ruins, and many have resumed business. Truly Yours, P. Dagoy.

Dear Sir: An eroneous impres sion prevails among many of your readers relative to the debate recently held at St. Deroin between the Rev. W. P. Shockey aud Prof. Clark Bra den. The parties are able, courteous, christian gentlemen. They indulged in no language .remark, word or look during the discussion incompatAblo with their profession as ministerial brethren. The' treated each other whether during debate, nt recess or on the street, with the utmost respect. There was no perceptible exhibition J of temper upon the p.irt of either nor the least disposition manifested to de scend into personalities. Each occu pied his own time as best he could to maintain his position by pertinent quotations from the old and new Tes tament. They parted friendly. The disousson was., ablo and instructive. There wero several hundred people present and the interest continued un abated during four days of four hours each. As a logician perhaps W. P. Shockey has not his equal in the State; as a clear thinker and a.close student, Prof. Braden stands equally high. W. P. Shockey has the ad vantage in experience and extensive reading; Prof. Braden in scholarship and mental discipline. Jarvis S. Church. PKUIT SCHOOL HOUSE. Pkru, Neb., Oct. 20, 2571. Editor Advertiser : In your last is sue, in looking over the items from Peru, I noticed some remarks in re gard to School House, &c, which are so gentlemanly tha$ I will reply to them as far as I con. 1. We have a good comfortable Scool House, 24x32, well plastered, seated and painted. 2. There is $160 in the Treasury to build a house. 3. We did expect to build an addi tion to our present building, and, last Spring, expected to have funds to do so, sb we had levied a tax of ten mills 04i the dollar, of all property in the district for the year 1870. By the direction of the board of trus tees 1 bought about a thousand feet of joists, as we expected to purchase all the material and kt the contract for the work. But. when I wpnr. in Mia County Treasurer tos money to build said addition, I found lhat$344,07 was all that was collected of the-tax, which was not suiheient to build much of a house. The board decided not to build until more money was collected, and so I paid for the lumber with my own money, and then supposed I had a righttttsellitiflcould. Now, in regard to this not being the first time our attention has been call ed to this matter. It is the first I have seen, and I hasten to give the required explanation, fori bold that the public have a right, at all times, to know all about what becomes of their money, for that is just and proper. I here wish to say that I have not loaned auy school funds, to any per son, for which I have received any interest, in any shape. Some parties in the district have some of tho mo ney using it, some of it is in bank and some in my pocket. Some I have used, and if the people, of this distriet, will pay their taxes so we will have money enough to build said addition, I will see that the money is forth coming. If this is not satisfactory, and if any one who is interested, will call on me I will explain more if necessary for his understanding. I will further say that wo have cood teachers, amnle accomodations for all the schoars who have corao.and we have a good school. If any one doubts it, come and see for yourselves. Very Respectfully, D. Q. C6i,e, Traas, JVEJIAHA DEMOCRATIC, This souuds strange, and it is strange, but it is a fact neverfjipjess.

The Grond Jury having in charge the ex amination of the books of the County Trea surer, County Clerk, County Superintendent, and the County Commibsioners, would're spectfuliy report, that at each of these offices we found the records showing a proper, aud, In our opinion, a lawful transactioa of these officers in their affairs with the County; and further, In our opinion, such Officers deserve especial mention for the neat and careful manner in which such records have been and uro belii'i kept by them. D. Y. CULBERT30N, Foreman. ttiiAXD Juiiy Room, October IQth, 1B71. Whereas At the holding of the late Ne braska Stats Fair, from the stands of certain Shooting Galleries located upon the grounds thereof, were fired cartridges of powder and ball, to the danger of the lives and limbs of persons who might be passing and re-passlug In the vicinity of such Galleries: And Whereas By the carelessness of a par ty firing such cartridge of powder and ball from the stand of one of such Galleries, a human being was wounded In all human probability mortally Therefore In-conslderatlon of these facV, we, as Grand Jurors, deem worthy of censure every and all persons having in any way the control or leasing of such Fair Grounds. who knowingly permitted such stands to bo ercct edwlth the Intention of the occupauts per mitting the firing therefrom a cartridge of powder and ball; and as good citizens of this Commonwealth wo denounce this thing in no measured terms as an evil to bo gotten rid of., nnd-in our opinion, he or they permit ing such thing upon the grounds of auy fu ture gatherings of whatover nnture, having the power to remove It, as wantonly, If not criminally negligent of a duty duo his or their fellow-man. In all of which. Tve as Grand Jurors.and as good citizens, feel It our boundeu duty to make known, that our fellow citizens may meto out to the guilty, by public opinion, sucli punishment ns we cannot by law. And bo it resolved, that these proceedings be furnished each of our county papers for publication. D. Y. CULBKRTSON, Foreman. Grand Jury Room, 1 Oct. 21, 1S71. The grand jury, htiving examined the condition of the county jail, would re tpcctlully report that" in their opinion such jail is not iu some of its parts erect ed with a proper view to the safe keeping of such characters na may prove danger ous to the peace of this commonwealth. For the reason, first: That certain door and ceilings arc not of sullicicnt strength ot material, and put up with such care as to insure the couiinemunt of any determ ined person wishing to escape. Such jail iu all its parts, particularly the cell as now constructed and placed iu such jail, is not erected with the view of atlbrding suflicient air t9 persons that may be con lined therein, and thereby rendering a question of life a very doubt ful one, when our thermometer some times records a ranjjo of ninety degree iu the shade. Therefore,, wc would recommend, as citizens-desiring tha the criminal against law and Justice shall be safely confined, without the probability of his breaking through the restraints of jail to again prov upon the peace of our community, that those persons having authority iu this matter erect a3 soon as possible a jail deficient in nothing to well and securely hold, without a reasonable doubt of its eft'octiveness. every person who may be confined within its walls. And while- we ask that our community be protected so tar as may be by a good and ellicient place ol confinement, we would also say that because a person may make himself a criminal, because ot such act we would not become ourselves in part instruments ot punishment by crowding such persons in damp, un wholesome apartments, deficient in the very necessary natural supply ot fresh nir. The present system ol ventilation, by means of apparatus connected with, the riooms o! certain county olrices, through which pass foul exhalations of persons confined in such fail, as also the smell of cooking Irom the jail oookroom, we regard as particularly disagreeable, nauseating' aim unneaitny, lor persons occupying such rooms for the transaction of county business; ami in view ol these facts, until a new jail is erected, we would particularly recommend that a room be selected separate and apart from such jail iu which to do all necessarj cooking. Believing it our duty to so speak, and believing it the inexorable wish of the community in which we reside to bo pro tected by a suitable jail from the injuries to person and Dronertv that mav ho. in llicted by evil-disposed persons in our midst, we would therefore respectfullv make this report. D. Y. Citi.bertsox, Foreman. Grand Jury Room, 1 Oct. 21, 2S71. In view of the fact that certain reports detrimental to-the good name of the per son having in charge the care and over sight of the-county poor larm, tho grand jury having examined tbe rooms, bed ding and cooking arrangements, would respectfully report that everything con nected therewith, tor the care and com (ort of the poor, arc so kept as to rellect great credit upon Mr. Maxwell, the per son having iu charge such house3 and grounds.

The news from Peshtigo and vicin ity is of a most heartrending charac ter. Three hundred and twenty-five dead bodies have been found and bur ied up to last niKhfcr and more are supposed to have been lost. On the east shore the news iB also dreadful. Nearly one hundred dead bodies have been found and buried,, and doubt less rnore are burned in that fearful conflagration. Many that liave been burned have been brought here, and more are-driving. ANOTHER DISPATCH A citizen of Green Bay telegraphs to Maj-or Ludingtou of Milwaukee: The northern steamer is just in Dr. Nicholas, of your city, and other passengers bring news that Jour hun dred ana seventy ueaa noaies nave been found at Peshtigo and vicinity, and it is thought the loss of life will reach seven huudred. This is exclu sive of the east shore, where the lo3a or life is fearful. The brother of Deputy SheriffFagg, of this city, a resident of Fores tville, writes that he ha9 fought tbe ftre for three weeks. During this time there wasrtGtan hour of perfect security. Showei s of burning leaves aud cinders would fall when least expected, and it requiretLihe utmost vigilance tasave his resilience and barn. The lire swept arou-nd him on-every side-, and his barn containing tho harvest of months hard labor, took fire three times, but in each case he was success ful in saving it. All his cord wood and timber is destroyed, and tire is sweep ing everything north of Two Rivers. Large numbers had passed his place to seek refuire bevond the course of the destroyer, many having -broken up their households, the members starting in different directions for succor and aid. In Forestville thirty residents have lost everything on their premises, the flames leaving their fields charred and barren. At Clay banks the circum stances are about the same. About three or four miJe3 from Forcstville a great rire rages, desolat ing everything in. its course. Many families are homeless, and all the live stock burned. In many instances families saved themselves by letting themselves down into wells. Mr". Faggalso writes that his brother-in law arrived while he was penning the letter, and reported that twenty-five bodies had been hemmed in and burned a short distance above Forest ville, and another group of six at an other place. The letter contains but a faint idea of the devastation and suffering at and beyond Fores tville. THE HORRORS INCREASING Marinette, Wis., via Green Bay, Oct. 13. There has been 150 wounded brought here from Pesthigo, and there are scores who are lying in the brush within twelve or fourteen niile3 who are alive but cannot be reacueu to day. Whole families having let themselves down into wells, were burned to deatli even there, and were covered up where they laid. No re ports are overdrawn. The loss of life is fearful. Mr. Joseph Harris, writing from Menominee to Mayor Ludington, of Milwaukee, for food and clothing for the suffering says: Mr IsacSteph son has iust come In from Peshtigo, and says they gathered up in one place tho remains of nearly fifty bodies, be sides about thirty in the sugar bush, and that other parts of the late village and adjoining woods have yet to be searched for more. Mr. S. says that the loss of life at Peshtigo, by fire and the drowned in the river, cannot be less than 400, and may be more. At Burch Creek, seven miles north of here, the whole settlement was burned and fourteen lives losU Five of one family are just brought in here, and present a spectacle sickening to be hold. ine steamer nas just come across from sturgeon Bay, and bring3 news of another horror, in which William son's mill, ten miles south of Stur geon Bay, was burned on last Sunday nighl and fifty lives lost, only five es caping. That fire has nodoubtspread to the settlements near, and great suffering must exist. No pen can do scribe or exaggerate-the horrors of the Peshtigo and Sturgeon Bay calami ties. Those who escaped have lost mi i everything, and the destitution at this season will be great. Clothing, food, aud aid of anv kind can be sent to Mr. Ellis, Peshtigo, Lower Mill ; to Hon. Issac Stephenson, .Marinette, and Joseph Harris, Sturgeon Bay, and I hope the cities and towns that have escaped the conflagration will' aid the sufferers promptly, Joseph Harris. A proclamation appealing for aid similar to that of Gov. Baldwin's of Michigan, has been issued by Gov. Fairchild, of Wisconsin. The Chicago Journal says : "There is not a law office nor a lib'rary left in Chicago, except the small duplicate libraries at the residences of the lead ing lawyers. There is not a paper showing that there is a suit pendign in any of the six courts of record in Cook county, including the Federal court. Thero is not an indictment in existence in the county against any one, not a judgment, not a peti tion in- bankruptcy in the Federal courts. Even the duplicate files that the lawyers keep in their offices of important cases are all gone. A few may have escaped by being taken to the houses for Sunday or night work. Wo may add that there are in Chicago about five hundred lawyers." A case of tobaoco from the manu factory of Colhapp Bros., of Brown ville, arrived too late for exhibition at our county fair, but can be seen by dealers in the article They are send ing out some fine specimens of their manufacture. They furnish seed to all who desire to cultivate "the weed," free of charge, only request ing that they be allowed the refusal of ita market value. J?latlsmouth Herald. The Atlantic. Cable CompAniea have agreed to allow telegrams in regard to the relief of Chicago to pas3 pver their wires free. : l J carpets sf JUAIUIXE, In Londcn, Snnday.
