Now that this section of Nebraska id hopeful of tho speedy advent of the iron horse, which will, with lungs of steam, breath of fire, muscles of iron, and sinews of stpelgo prancing over our common wealth,with scores of cars freighted with the products of our soil, and material fashioned by the hands of aou enterprizing men and women, rattling at its heels, to ruturn to us with the products of theEast and South, it may not be amiss for us to say a word ns to the power of the railroad as a civilizer. In one of our exchanges we see that a Col. E. W. Dennis, in a recent speech said "The railway builders are the pioneers of to-day. The little flag on the locomotive of the construction train is the guidon of the vanguard of civilization. As it leads the way over prairie and plain, through forest and canon, or along swelling streams, which springing amid Pactolian foun tains, wind through fertile empires as yet unoccupied by their monarch, man, it Is followed by a wealth-producing population, who build up all along the line of the newly laid track seif-protecting settlements, the nuclei of future cities and states." This is as truly as it is elegantly ex pressed. The railroad, as a civilizing power, may be said to be fast taking the place of the priestly offlce and missionary element, at least it is op erating as a sovereign aid to the form er and entirely extinguishing the ne cessity of the latter. Haifa century of time has been occupied by the cler gy and missionaries to civilize the wild and uncouth inhabitants of the Mexi can states, but, when the wnite man learned that there was gold in Cali fornia, emigration flowed thither in such a stream that, the work which years had failed to accomplish, was, so to speak, completed in a day. But the mountain belt, from the Pacific to the Mississippi, was in the hands of the savages, and these were to be brought under subjection. When it was suggested that a railroad could be constructed across the continent men not only denied the practibility of the enterprise, but pointed to the occu pancy of the country by American Savages as an obstacle- that could not be overcome. But as the construction trains proceeded uooa east to west, and from west to east, civilization fol lowed, nay preceded in advance, lighted on their way by the glare of the locomotive that -van. yet In the rear, and; the race which refused to yield obedifrnee to. the voice of pio neer christians fell dawn in worship before the spirit of railroad1 enterprise which spread before them in the sier ras and cannons of which they were so recently Eaoaarcbs, and which caused the-building up of cities -which dotted plains that were but yesterday their hunting grounds. The material power which forces its way through mountain barriers hitherto deemed impenetrable that spans miejhty rivers with its iron arms that annihilates space that brings people who- were far distant together as near neighhoors that orig inates commerce and trade where none before existed, is indeed a pow erful and mighty element. Although comparatively an infant ithasalready grown to be a collossus. Its ramifica tions penetrate everywhere, and its influence is potent even when gov ernments fail to develope the power which for a time was supposed to re side exclusively in them. Hence it is not at all surprising that we find the railroad interest and operations exhib iting a power for civilization that bus never before been witnessed in the world's history. How is it In Utah? For years Brigham Young has defied the pow ers of law and morality, and polyga my seemed installed as one of the in stitutions of the country. But when Jts preciucts were invaded by the iron hprse the law was enabled to lay its rigid hands upon the old sinner, and, ip-day, polygamy is shorne of its power in its late stronghold. And righj here we may be permit iod to add, en parenthesis, that the Republican platform upon which Abraham Jjincoin, vas first elected, characterized polygamy and slavery as "tiffin relics o Jjrbsrlsm." Slavery long since caae4 io exlt,and le mission of the RpubJi&u party will uoi be fulfilled until Jjoiyjjswy ios as Jqw. aa slavery.

Polygamy has received its death blow. Hawkins, whose trial has caused all eyes to turn to Salt 3kake City, has been cnnylctod and'.sentenc ed to pay a uomiJia fiuo and to- labor in prison, for a term of three years Hawkins-had but two. wives. Br ham. Young, the name of whose wife is legion,' has gone to see old Sol set, having followed in the wake of Bish op Berkeley's Star of Empire. The other polvcamyats are shaking In their boots, and the multitude of wives are shrinking In their stock ings. Thus, the only unredeemed pledge made by the republican party in I860, is now being made good, and ail Christendom will say "good" and "amen." TWEED. This old reprobate, the head and front of the New York democracy, has come to grief, having been arres ted on charge of fraud and held to bail in the sum of $2,000,000. It is now understood, that he has profited himself, fraudulently, to the tune of .?o0,000,000, at the expense of the tax payers, while his boon adherents have feathered their nests with large amounts. When tho New York Times first rang the charges againBt Tweed and his associate corruption- ists, all democratic papers flew to the defence of the accused, but now that the charges have been substantiated, even the poor comfort of such sup port Is denied them. j b. &. ft. k. it. n. Work on this road is etill progress ing actively. The switch at the up per end of section one is ready for the ties. The iron will be landed at that point, and track laying commenced on section two, as the first mile cannot be made realty for the rails before Jan uary, on account of the heavy rock work. Messrs. Phillips & Smith are nearly through with their work of grading. The material for the bridging is ar riving, several car loads having reach ed Phelps this week, and so being dis tributed nlong the road. Judge Wheeler is pushing the work of con structing the bridges with ,his usual energy. COL. SOTEW ARE'S MAP OP NE BRASKA. We noticed recently an article in the Tecun.seh Chieftain calling atten tion to the fact that the B. Ft. K. & P. R. It. did not appear upon the map of this State-, recently issued under the superintendance of Col. Note ware, by the State Board of Immigra tion, and upon examination we find the Chieftain's statement to be correct. Why this omission was made we do not understand, as Col. Noteware is well aware of the existence of this en terprise, and if he is not, he has fail ed to take the pains to qualify him self for the position which he holds as Superintendent of the Board. The data was furnished to the Surveyor Generals office in reference to this road, and from whence It is presumed the Superintendent obtained the re quisite information for his map of Nebraska. We trust however that it is an over sight although it is too great an omis sion to be excused in that way, yet we cannot feel that Col. Noteware would intentionally make such a thrust at our Railroad enterprise, and hope that if such is not the case he will see to its correction at once upon the maps issu ed by tho Board. na i. i RRlOWXyiLLE fc HAMBURG R.R. We had hoped-ere this to chronicle the commencement of work on the above road, but the season is wearing away without any immediate pros pect of securing an outlet for the vast amount of produce and livestock to be shipped from Brownville this fall and winter. The parties here having the matter in charge have made every effort to place the road before mentioned on a footing for completion this fall, but as yet have made no satisfactory arrange ment. We must have the means of shipping our grain &c. from the opposite-bank of the Missouri without be ing compelled to haul all freights to and from Phelps through mud nnd rain, a distance of three miles. While we fully endorse- the move ment for the Hamburg road, yet if we cannot get it, we suggest to our Rail road men that we naust have an eas tern Railroad connection from the river of some character without de lay. We have no doubt that the Brownville & Hamburg road will pay its builders a handsome profit on the investment as it will be a cheap road to contract and operate aud will do an immense business, as our farmers, merchants and business men general ly would do all In their power to pa tronize and sustain it, although it is our opinion that it would sustain It self from the hour of its completion. We repeat, we must have an eastern connection this fall as our business in terests are suffering for want of it. The Tecumseh Chieftain copies the glorification of the Omaha Herald over the defeat of the Republican ticketin this County, and the credit (?) it gives Col. Majors for bringing abuut said result, and sums it up as follows : The Col. deserves that puff. That's an excelent, truthful putf. The Col. worked hard for such a compliment from such a source. The reward of treachery. The same paper compli ments aud defends Jeff Davis, also, for his treason. The Col. has the same credit with both parties in Ne maha. The same party that curses Jeff curses the Col., aud the same J arty that sympathises with old rebel eft; to day sympathises with the Col. 'This sounds strange, and it is strange,' but it is a fact nevertheless. The Col.'s laurals, his glory, are unmis takeable and none to envy him them. Chairman of his party organization, he improved the opportunity to be tray it into the hands of the enemy. How much shall it profit a man if he sell his own party and lose his own head by it. The Col. holds the offlco of revenue Assessor for Nebraska by virtue of his professed Republicanism. m m Br. Mendllcott, having been con victed for the murder of Ruth, in Kansas, Mrs. Ruth has been arrested u3 au accessory. Her discarded hus bmid, VuUlaire, has gone to Law rauce from St. Louis to interfero in, her behalf. FMOM SALT LAKE CITY A Glttaen of Brownville Among tl Jlormoni-His Impressions of 9Xo moutim-Salt Lake City,, etc. Editor Nebraska Advertiser: Theasrest of Brigham Youngand several of the leading Elders and Bishops of the Mormon creed, has turned the eyes of the thinking men and women of our country to their head center and community, Salt Lake City. It has been welcomed with delight bv those who are indifferent to all else but the momentary excitement, as a happy diversion from the ordina ry routine of common life. It has drawn out the speculative ge nius of those who are eager to prophecy by the result, and whose prophecies are so numerous that some of them cannot fail to be correct. And, indeed, the object of such u nlversal attention is worthy of;it; for on the decision of the ceurt rests not merely the fate of the individuals in question, but extends to the seventy thousand people wbo inhabit Utah's fertile agricultural tracts aud rich mineral districts. It is obvious to all that the Hawkius' case.which was on the tapis at the time of our visit to the city, and was creating auch excite ment and dismay among the polyga mists, involves more than the desti ny of that individual, but includes all who have similarly indulged in a plu rality of wives. The government has long desired to strike the blow which has finally fall en, but the late civil war, the recon struction of the Union, the absence of the popular support, which, until re cently has been denied, and tho thou sand and one things arising in prepar ing for such an undertaking, has de tered it until the present. Aud now, since it has fallen, let no lack of pub lic sympathy or want of interest be expressed, which would delay the blotting out of such a mar and dis grace to our nation and national standing. It is evident to all who are unpreju diced and not over sanguine, that Mormon ism and potygnrny have re ceived their death wouud. It is true that there are those who fiom their wisdom and experience have the right to be heard and to give their opinions among the first who say that the men under arrest will never be sentenced, or if sentenced will 'never suffer the penalty, alleging as a reason, their pe cuniary "power at hbme, and that should money fail they will resort to arms. But the Hawkins case will set tle that policy. Besides, what would the few hundreds who wuuld rebel for the sake of these despots, avail against the drilled and disciplined le gions of the United States. Or la it probable that it will require an armed force to reduce- the Mor mon's to subjection? Is t not more reasonable to suppose,, that recogni- zing the power of government, those who have escaped, arrest will, be only too glad to leave the conutryv aban doning everything for the sake of freedom? Should, they attempt to carry out their oft repeated, threat of burning Salt Lake City would It not oe an act or justice to treat them as the Chicago incendiaries were treat ed? But let us hope that no such demonstration will require so severe a remedy. It is not our object in writing this article to launch into a discourse on the strife now being carried on, but rather to give some idea of tho coun try and class of people affected by the result. Utah contains about 65, 000 square miles of territory, including largs tracts of wild mountainous land, barren, save of trees of the hardiest kind, and a few varieties of smaller mountain shrubbery. There are at present only 90,000 acres under culti vation, but there is much more, which with irrigation would equal any now worked in the territory. The moun tain valleys, and the lake and river districts are especially productive when Irrigated, anil the yields of the crops and their fruits are large and fine in grade. The mineral resour ces of Utah will be unsurpassed when fully developed, those which are de veloped having no- superiors. And had not the inhabitants been prohibi ted from prospecting, and had the en terprising Gentiles been allowed to open the mines which are now fast developing, Utah would long since have numbered one of the Union and held an enviable position among her sister states. But thauks to the ener gy and exertion of our capitalists and the support which they received from the government, the Pacific Railroad has been completed, and with its com pletion began the change whioh is fast working out the destiny of the Mormons. Thanks to the Paciflo R. R., no exclusiop now prevails on ao count of religion, and one may come and go as in an3' other civilized laud. Thanks to tho Paoific R. R for the influx of true Christianity, which alone would wear out the dogma of polygamy, and from which, in its en deavor to crush this vile institution, tho government is receivingsuoh able support. Thank God and the Pacific R. R., for tho total revolution of af fairs in Utah. Let us now turn or attention to the most interesting and pleasing ob ject that can be found in t'tfs, once wilderness, of fanaticism Sah Lake City. Here we find n?en, intelligent educated, and some of them accom plished, though the latter are rare ex cept among the better class of Gentile who are remarkable for their shrewd-J ness, business capacity, and refine ment, while over the surrounding country are scattered men whose am bition soars no higher than a lot of grouud a hundred feet square, and a nn-ni-.oraf.lva ctorfl with a small cfiwlr r .... . , . TK$; ui .lULuuy gujuorjca uu targe Htoojey of whisky, Hera in contrast witif the miserable huts, with dirt and sW roofs, in which the ocoupant is cpn tent fc live and die, aje fpund m.auj structures which will compare favor-A ably with those found in our eastern V towns. The city is situated at the, w foot of a spur if the Wasatch mount ni tains and extends northward to the bench or upland which unite Jtko Dlaiu with tho mountauj, -ThewKV rounding scenery isgnmd' aud Imr. pressive. The Wahaatch nmuntaina forms the back-ground f picture seldom, if ever, surpassed In its quiet beauty. Mountain, lake, city, stream letind valley, form a combination and diversity unequaled. From the city tho mountains may be plainly seen, with their massive rocks, deep gulches, narrow defiles and canyons, "cleft as by a saber stroke In the world's prime,"with their high, black walls guarding with jealous care the bright and sparkling gems of eternal snow, aB it leanng me aaveni oi warmth might snatch their treasures from them. In the city the streets and side walks are wide, and shaded by tail, far spreading trees, under whose branches trickles the inevitable stream of pure, clear water drawn from the mountain gorges. The houses are mostly constructed of "adobes" or sun dried brick which when covered with plaster and block ed into imitation stone, presents a very pleasing appearance. Many well dressed men and gen teel women may be seen on the streets but the absence of children in a city where one would reeasonably expect to find them in numbers, occasions public remark from every visitor. The business part of town is well built; many of the stores approach ing elegance. The edifices deserve a special mention, some of them being fine and large, and all remarkable from being a city of so late a growth. The principal ones are the Taberna cle, Temple, Theatre and City Hall. The Tabernacle is an immense struc ture 250 feet in length.by 150 in width. It is oblong in form and the bell shap ed roof is supported by 40 sand-stone columns with spaces between for en trances, doors windows, etc. The roof is self-sustaining, being the larg est of its kind on the continent, not a single arch, pillar or post support ing from the interior. Ventilation is supplied through holes in the ceiling and trap3 between the extorior ool umns. A gallery extends around the building on three sldes the spaoe of the fourth being filled by the mag nificent organ built by Mr. Ridges, an English Mormon, at a coHt of $75, 000. It is the second in size on the continent, having 50 stopsand 3000 pipea. The capacity of the Taberna ole is very great, 10,000 people hav ing been orowded into It at one time. The usual congregation, however, does not exceed 8,000. The Temple Is not yet completed but the work is progressing rapidly. The corner stone was laid fourteen years ago, but labor has been suspen ded much of the time intervening. It is to be constructed of a beautiful gray granite, that sparkles in the sun light as if filled with innumerable small diamonds, an effect which is produced by the quarts crystal that enters into the rook struoture. This building material is brought IS miles, from Little Cottonwood Canyon. The main building is to be 100 feet high, surrounded bj six towers, three at each end of the main one, being 250 feet in height. The estimated cost of this building is $4,000,000. The other public edifices are on a corresponding scale, and were worthy of meution only from the fact of their being in a city of such recent growth. Taken as a whole Salt Lake City has no superior as far as beauty and public improvement extends, and when we consider the short space of time in which she has attained her eminence it is remarkable. Here in the midst of a country primitive in the extreme, we find a city that might be transplanted and worn with pride by our oldeat eastern state. There is one town in Utah that is a single exception to the general rule the inhabitants are Gentiles. I refer to Corinne ; a place with a population of about 1200, but like most railroad towns, this is very lluctuating. At present Corinne is the seat of an ex tensive traffic, and the distributing point for the Montana trade. Immense trains of wagons, bearing the necessaries of life to the hard y pioueers, who inhabit the mountain ous regions of the north, leave Cor inne almost daily. At this point we find enterprise andizeal as characteristic of the Gen tiles, as sluggishness and inactivity is of the Mormons. There are two banks whose business is. something to be proud of. There is a secai-weekly paper, which by its strong denuncia tions of their creed, has made itself a very thorn in the side of the Mor mons. A theatre, a good hotel, rail road ticket office, freight depot and many other substantial buildings add to the business like appearance of the town. Of course this place haB drawn the wrathful eyes of the Prophet upon it. He proposes to build a rail road from Ogden up Cache Valley to Soda Springs in Idaho, entirely cuttiug out Corinne, and by taking away the freighting trade, revenge himself for past grievances. But as the road is to be narrow guage the question is will the expense be any less to shippers to ship bj- rail to Ogden, and then change bulk which is an additional cost, than to send their goods to Corinne by wag on The ibueiness men are confident that the road will have no effect upon Conrinne, and moreover, are consid ering the construction of a road from Corinne into Montana, whioh, if ac complished, will render Corinne sec ond in importance to no point be- pw-en Omaha and Sacramento. At all times, it presents such a live, ea,nest appearance, that one would D6vnetTTV f n.nZw A' mm 1a actual pop- -- oiyiptbc.., rft$ OUUttau.. faon-o jcresj j iMi.il.w 9 Vi nw jtAi lr jfkffinfrf from her standing, or exclusion re tard her improvement.

C. i' WILES OP SPIRJTVAiaSMs Editor Nebraska AdverWser: I notice your London item gatherer has got what lie probably thinks is a rich item. He says, la last week's is sue, "Mrs Dysart, the lady that lost to some extent, her reason, through the wiles of spiritualism, has been taken to the insane asylum at Lincoln." Now it is said that truth i3 stranger than fiction. I think at least, it is the best. The facts in the case are these: Mis. Dysart is a member of the Carapbell ite (or Christian) church, in good standing, and if she ever had any thing to do with the wiles of spiritual ism, (if any one knows what that is) it was long before she became insane. Again, it is a well known fact that the family of Mrs. Dysart are subject to insanity, her mother having com mitted suicide while laboring under a fit of Insanity, (she was not a spiritu alist.) Ono of her sisters was insane for a long time and never got over it until she understood something about spiritualism. She is now a firm be liever In spirit communion and is perfectly sane. There are other caus es for the insane condition of Mrs. Dysart, which medical men well un derstand. If there has been any oth er than natural causes for the unfor tunate condition of Mrs. D. it has been brought about by the slandering tongues of such religious higots ns the writer of the aforesaid London item. I hope he will not charge spiritualism with beinc the cause of his well known free love proclivities. Now, hoping that your London item gath erer will be able to make up his re port in the future without slandering. honest people because they are not as bigoted as he-is. I remain yours for truth and jus tice. J. Wr. Bliss. Peru, Neb., Nov. 1st, 1871. SADV Editor Nebraska Advertiser: A few days ago. Mrs. Dysart, of London, was conveyed to-the Lunat ic Asylum at Lincoln. Her case is hereditary insanity. Her mother, an excellent lady and a worthy member of the Christian ohurch, for a long time previous, and the time of her death, committed suicide by hanging. Mrs. Dysart has often expressed her fears that she should go insane about it. And all her friends too have fear ed it, and have tried to divert her mind from dwelling upon It. Her physical condition for a few months past every scientific medloaj man would say, would cause insanity apart from hereditary tendencies. Persons who have professed all the different religious faiths, and those too of no professed religious faith, have attempted self-destruction, and those who rashly, maliciously origno- rantly, attribute it to wrong causes, should be careful for they know not how soon bey or their friends may be the victims of that fearful dis ease, insanity. People should learn to be sure they are correct in the things whereof they affirm. They should not forget, that there is a day of reckoning comiug for both wilful and Ignorant misrep resentation. Jeknktte Harding. London, Neb. PERU SCHOOL HODSH. Editor Nebraska Advertiser: In your last issue I find a commu nication from D. C. Cole, Esq., in re ply to a Peru item in reference to school funds. Mr. Cole seems to be very certain that the accommodations are ample for all the scholars that at tend tho district school. This may be his opinion, but people sometimes differ in opinion about such matters. I, for one, do not think that a room 24x32 is large enough to accommodate from 60 to 90 scholar Neither do I think one teacher can do justice to that number of scholars iu a common district school, and I know that some citizens in this di&trict do. &ot send their children to the distriot sohool for the reason that they think there is not ample accommodations for all scholars in the district. Now iu reference to the proper use 01 me scuooi iuuas, mr, uoie saysi "some parties in the district have some of the said funds using them. Some I have used." 'Now in reply to mat 1 beg leave to refer Mr. Cole to the law upon that subject as found in the Statutes of 1869, pages 214 and 215, section 103, which reads as follows: "If uny County Treasurer, or other officer or person, charged with the collection, re ceipt, snfe keeping, transferor disbursement of the puhJIo money, or any part thereof, be longing to the Stale or anv county, precinct, district, city, town or school district In this State, Hhall convert to his own use, or to the use of any other person or persons, body cor porate, association or party whatever, in any way whatever; or- liall ue by way jX Investment m any kind of securitv. stocks. loan, property, land or merohnndlse, or iu any other manner or form w-hfUever; orshall loan, with or without intere.st, to any com pany, corporation, association or individual; any portion of th public money, or other funds, property, bonds, securities, assets or effects of any kind, received, collected or held by him for safe keeping, transfer or dis bursement, or in any other way or manner, orfornny other purpose; or If any person shall ndvlae, aid, or In any manner partici pate in such act, every such act shall be deemed and held in law to lie an embezzle ment of so; much of said moneys, or other property aa awresuiu. as snau De tnus con verted, used.
