XEW YEAR 1673.
On Monday, December 21st, 1G20,
the ship May Flower, with its im
mortal freight, arrived upon the rug
ged shores of New England, having
failed from Plymouth, England, on
the lGth day of September previous
The Pilgrim Fathers steered their lit
tle craft near the foot of a rock,
known to this day as "Plymouth
Hock," and on landing, although all
the surroundings were cheerless and
uninviting, the soil being far inferior
to that they left behind them hav
ing a full knowledge of the fact that
no white man inhabited that region
of country knelt down, and earnest
ly returned thanks to their Creator
for His guidance in their cheerless
and perilous journey, and invoked
His further protection. Rising to
their feet, they exercised their talents
and strength in providing for them
selves comfortable habitations, where
they could praise God as seemed to
them best, and enjoy the widest lib
erty. Such was the germ from which
this nation sprung. Can any excel?
Can any equal it? Is it to be wonder
ed at, taking into consideration the
origin, that when their offspring
found themselves attached to the
government from which their fore
fathers lied, they should have broken
the chains which held them as de
pendants, and in God's name declare
that they were entitled to "life, liber
ty and the pursuit of happiness?" If
such an aricestry is ever disgraced,
thejresponsibiliiy will rest upon us.
Asa nation we should thank God for
our Pilgrim Fathers.
It is now 2-52 years since the May
Flower, with her 100 passengers,
reached the rock-bound coast of New
England. The seed they planted has
generated until now we number as a
nation upwards of 40,000,000 of souls.
Our limits have extended from the
rock upon which our forefathers
landed, until it has leaped mountains,
rivers, lakes, hills and valleys from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, and
is now, in point of location, natural
resources, and everything, the envy
of the world. Such has been the ra
pidity of our growth that with most
of us it is not a matter of history, but
of experience. During the life-time
of most of our readers, 100,000 miles
of telegraph wire have been put up
and 75,000 miles of rail-road construct
ed. Our Pilgrim Fathers have long
since gone to their eternal homes
our Revolutionary sires have gone to
receive their reward, and we are left
in command of the glorious legacy
bequeathed by them. rlhe Union is a
monument of their toll.
Rut we will not bo tedious, and in
conclusion would offer to our friends
who wish us God-speed, the compli
ments of the season and hope they
may see many renewals of the day.
To the ladies (for we know they are
our friends) we also tip our tile and
trust they will enjoy the festivities of
the occasion.

A HEALTHY PROPOSITION.
A bill with the- following provis
ions has been introduced into Con
gress :
1. Abolishing the machinery of
Presidential Electors, and letting the
people vote directly for President and
Vice President.
2. Limiting fne President to a sin
gle term of (say) six year.
3. Giving alfthe appointed Federal
officers a term equal to that of the
President, but commencing and end
ing at the middle of the Presidential
term. This would enable the Presi
dent to become acquainted with the
merits of each officer, and to decide
intelligently whether the public ser
vice would be prompted by the re-ap-poiutrnent;
and, what is more im
portant, it would preclude appoint
ments as the mere reward of party
service in the elections, which is one
of the most corrupting things in our
politics.
4. Requiring all the State elections
to be held on the same day when the
people vote for President, and thereby
fjicilitatinir an honest expression of
the public judgment, un-iniluenced
by the estimation of chances which
degrade our Presidential elections to
the level of betting on horse races.

in the above, we endorse it. We
much prefer leaving- the time of ser
vice as our forefathers left it, viz:
eight years, giving to the people the
right to drop him at the expiration of
half his term of service. See Jeffer
son's works, vol. 1 pageSO, aspublish
ed in the Awvkrtiskb a year ago.
We said we approved of the above;
we ought to say that we approve of it
so far as it goes. Rut we give Senator
Hitchcock and Representative Tafle,
notice right here, that the Republi
cans of Nebraska, will not be satis
fied with it. During the past.- year,
the party in this State has rung, out in
clear, distinct and unmistakable
tones, their desire that U. S. Senators
be elected by the people, aud now that
the above proposition is submitted to
Congress, the Republicans of Nebras
ka will expect an amendment of the
character indicated pinned thereto
and strenuously advocated by our
Senators and Representative. Will
the wishes of our people be regarded
in this matter? We will see.

Soldiers Iloiuity.
A bill has lately passed the U. S.
House of Representatives and is now
before tho Senate, which, if passed
will give to each soldier who fought
for the Starry Ranner in the late war,
1G0 acres of land, free of cost and ex
empt from tho uncomfortable provis
ion of the preemptor settling upon
the land chosen or selected under the
bill. A general feeling of satisfac
tion, therefore, prevails, amongst the
"Roys in Blue,"' and petitions are be
ing signed throughout the country
praying that said bill pass the Setiate
without amendment. We find some
The Nemaha Valley Journal is out
in a severe article touching the ac
tion of the State Roard of Immigra
tion, aud its Superintendent, Colonel
Noteware. It says that both are hum
bugs, the Col. being the most egre
gious one of the two. From the late
report of the U. S. Grand Jury it is
gleaned that 121 ,000 souls have been
added to the population of Nebraska
during the past two years, to secure
which the State has expended an, ap
propriation of $15,000, while the R. &,
M. R. It. has expended for tho same
purpose half a million of dollars and
the U. P. It. R., $300,000, as private
enterprises. .Yet the State Roard
claims all the glory. The Journal
calls for the extinguishment of the
Col. aud tho Roard lie represents.
who would strangle the bill by insist
ing that the Government give money
in lieu of land. Such an idea is pre
posterous aud wanting in patriotic in
spiration. Undo Sam, in making
this liberal grant, starts out on the
hypothesis that his deserving soldiers
are poor, and takes this method ;to
provide them with homes. He does
not propose to pay those of his old
aids who are in independent circum
stances, money with which to buy
libaries or carriage horses, ai.d those
of them who are unwilling to take
the trouble to select from Uncle Sam's
domain 1G0 acres, and lealize money
therefrom, are not deserving of the
proffered aid.
A petition is about being circulated
here for soldiers to sign, praying our
Senators to vote for said bill, as it
came from the House, which will
doubtless be generally signed.
A Democratic papepcompIainingly
eays, "the people of New Orleans
have looked upon a good many
strange sights, during the last seven
years, and they are not through with
them yet. The people of Louisiana
see cannon planted in the streets of
New Orleans, the United States sol
diery in possession of the halls of the
State Legislature. The government
of the United States, through its dis
trict judge, decrees who are their po
litical masters, and commands their
obedienco by bayonets and Gatling
guns."
Yes, these nre disagreeable facts.
But who is to blame? The Demo
cratic party? Once New Orleans en
joyed peace and prosperity, but under
the teachings of Democratic leaders
she raised her hand against the gov
ernment to which she was indebted
for all she was, and now she sutlers
the consequences. When she learns
to "accept the situation" in good faith
and acts accordingly, these "manv
strange sights" will disappear, and
prosperity again dwell in her borders
Not until then.

IMPOUTAXCE OFTIlOItOUGIIBKED
BULLS.
Men, who have bestowed little
thought upon the subject, are not en
tirely convinced of the advantage of
using thoroughbred bulls only, in ad
vancing the quality of their stock,
and a little explanation is necesary
to enlighten them. In all thorough
bred anim.ds, of whatever kind, the
good qualities are concenUated. That
is to say, they breed alike, through
out, from father to son, mother to
daughter, and so on down to indefin
ite generations. There is unmistaka
ble likeness prevailing among them.
We have seen that our native cattle
are made up of incongruities, in size,
suiipe, uuiur nun quality, iSu uni
formity of likeness exists among
them. Some are good, more of them
indifferent, both in appearance and
quality. Some of the 'young resem
ble the sire, others the dam, and a
great many neither, but take the ap
pearance of ancestral relatives gener
ations back. They have no fixed or
permanent character, hut nre an ag
gregation of various qualities and
blood, pOFSt-ssing (owinir to their mis
cellaneous mode ol descent) no partic
ular characteristics w hich can be de
pended on. It is this uncertainty
which detracts from their value.
-Use a thoroughbred bull to these
miscellaneously-bred cows, however,
and his blood in eo Ur,i,Hly i..f....oi
into their offspring, by his own fixed
characteristics, that his stock at once
partake largely of his own quality
and appearance. Now, let the full
blood of thi bull be repeated in the
half-blood heifers, and his blood be
comes still stronger in them, and their
stock more nearly resembles his blood
(there being two cro-es of it In them)
than that of their dam, which has
one-half the inferior or native blood,
and so on to any number of these full
bred crosses, until the appearance ol
the progeny resembles the thorough
blood almost beyond a distinction to
the inexperienced eye. On the other
hand, among the progeny of the cross
breeds of the first generation, or half
breeds, some very choice ones will be
found partaking largely of tho .quali
ties of the sire.
An unpracticed breeder may think
mat with so promising a calf, a bull
may be raised that will answer his
pifrpose, and the quality of voting
stock from common cows (from which
the bull sprung) will be good enough ;
and, therefore, he uses him for'breed
ing. accordingly, and finds his pro
geny in every way inferior, mid won
ders why it is so. The reason is plam :
this half-breed bull had, in itself, one
half the inferior or native blood,
which was just as stroncr in him. and
as likely to transmit its inferior quali
ty through inferior dams, as his own
share of the good blood th:t he has
drawn from his sire, and thus there
is little progress made in improve
ment from this mongrel hull.
Still, he is better thin the "native"
bull, and should be used when a bet
ter one cannot be had. The same re
sult will occur from breeding these
grade animnls among themselves.
The same inferior blood is nnife .is
likely to strike ot.t among them as
the superior, and incongruity appears
in their various characteristics, and
all higher improvement ceaes.
Hence, there is no certainty of con
tinuous improvement, otherwise than
leave the field, with Col. Gillespie on
the right, and Gen. G. W. Gallup on
the left ; Col. T. L. P. Defreese at the
foot, with Capt. L. C. Guthrie on the
right, and Capt. L. C. Simondsouthe
left.
The immense table was crowded
with officers nd soldiers of the Fifti
eth Ohio and sister regiments.
After the repast, which was all fhat
the most fastidious epicure could de
sire, was disposed of, the following
toast was offered and responded to:

The closing toast of- the evening
was "The President of the United
States, our dear and well-beloved
commander. General U. S. Grant."
Responded to by General S. A.
Strickland.
It would be utterly impossible to
give the beautiful u::d appropriate
speech of General Strickland, in re
sponse to the above toast, for whenev
er the name of Grant was mentioned,
che?p after cheer went up from the au
dience, so that it was Impossible at
times for the speaker to proceed. Gen.

The one flag with names of battles

A JI ERICA.
rn HAVE cultivated the t'ooley Early White
i Field Corn tor two years im-t. and have no
hesitancy in prorioii'ichiK It fmperlor to anything
we hav-een, lioth ai to early maturing and yield.
Tlit: follow. iik are a few of the testimonials In Its
favor, as furnished Mr. Cooley, from whom we ob
tained our need.
The New. York Herald of AiiRtnt ISth.says :
"The rum or Corn received from ('. C. Cooley.
ManrlH-iler, Ohio, itn- certainly a novelty. Only
think ot newrorii, ruiM-d In Ohio, ripe enoiiKh to
.shell mid -ll In the New York innrkt I on the lsth
or ut'.imt : hut Mich Is the luct. The ears before us
are vtj law xuth plump grains and sound cob.
Tli corn hclug white, will always add ten to (ifteen
cunt more per bushel oer jellow corn. In this
market."
The 1'ralrle Farmer or August 20th. says :
"TIm-h ears average eleven Inches iu length, and
wehcli about thirty ounces tiich. Ol course the cobs
an-lull of moisture. The kernels, though of full
Nbe. nre not hard to the cob. lint matured enough to
witlistaiidiiijury from the frost. As the stalks of
com are not so tall as thoseof other varieties, tt can
be planted nearer together."
"Okkii-x: Manciikstkr Mills. Aug. 9. IsTI.
"I certlly that 011 the 7th day ot Aug.. Is71. Mr. C
Cooley. or this place, brought to the Manchester
Mills a.lot of "new corn," raiedthepresentseason,
which I ground into meal. The meal was or the
meal was or the best quality. This is the earliest I
have ever known uric corn to be ground, bv at least
tiro months. I have been in the milling busineau
over twenty years. SAM'L FOSTER."
"Dwton. Mo.. Oct. 20. 1371.
"C. C. Coolky : The Corn' was planted May IKh ;
was ripe enough to shell Irom the stalk Awe SKj.
The quality was splendid, and the yi-hl surprising.
It is certainty tin-arln-t corn In the country. No
danger or the drouth or early full rnsLs.
