Sinoe our- last issue, tho telegraph
fciforms us that Gen. Robert Ander
son, the hero of Fort Sumpter, and
Hon. Thomas Ewing, both of Ohio,
are dead. Thus, one by one, drop in
to the "city of the dead," those who
unite the present with the historic
past.
RAILROADS.
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.
"With su;sh ji. power in. jjuar county
guided by intelligence and integrity
of purpose and action,, whafc may not,
therefore, be our future ?

DEATH BLOW.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

"Col. R. W. Furnas, of Brownville,
bought of James M. Woods, as stated
las week, a heifer two years old the

oalf, only six days old, for $200. How

leading Stock men in the State, and

The Plattsmouth Herald copies the
allusion of the Omaha Herald to the
result of the late election in this
County and the part taken in the
same by Col. Majors, and adds :
"Perhaps tho Republicans of Ne
braska will glory in the acts of Col.
Majors which call forth such eulogies
from Democratic papers and perhaps
not,"
