The people of Nebraska are becom
ing thoroughly wakened to the impor
tance of adopting measures whereby
the advantages of our Territory may
be properly laid before people who de
sire to change their location. An em
igrant association has been formed in
Nebraska City and an agent appointed,
and commissioned by the Governor.
This agent, Dr. John Siemers, is to
proceed to Germany, and ihere lay be
fore the people, by printed matter and
otherwise, a fair and full description of
this Territory, together with the proper
instructions for getting here. We also
notice that the people of Brownville are
taking some action in this matter, and
are disposed to lend a helping hand to
that which is of the utmost importance
to every citizen of Nebraska.
It will be observed, by reference to
the proceedings of the Farmers Club
meeting on last Saturday, that a Com
mittee was appointed by that body to
give gratuitous informatioa to all per
eons desiring to settle in Nebraska
This is excellent, so far as it goes; but
the people of Cass County should not
stop at this; they 'should take pains to
disseminate a knowledge of this coun
try among people who have no thought
of coming here; and, in fact, some of
whom do not know that there is such a
rlace as Nebraska. Those who live
here know very well the great resour
ces of the Territory, and understand
the advantages we possess over other
portions of the world; but, in order to
thoroughly develop the country, be
sides furnishing homes to thousands who
are seeking just such a . country, it is
necessary that we do something to pro
mulgate these facts. Let the people
of Cass give this matter their- serious
attention, and determine if we cannot
do something more than to merely give
information after it is asked. We
must take into consideration that now is
the most favorable time to strike, while
there are thousands of our own country
men just turned loose, who will, to a
great extent, seek new homes; besides
the immense lide of emigration pouring
in from the old countries, in conse
quence of the more thorough establish
ment of the Republican principles upon
which our Government is founded.
IOWA SOLDIEIIS' tO.WEX
TIO.W Many have expressed fears that the
soldiers of Iowa would be wheedled
into a support of the Copperhead ticket,
from the fact of their opposition to the
clause in the Republican resolutions
relating to negro suffrage; but all
doubts as to their course are now set
aside. The Convention called to meet
at Des Moines, on the 24th ult., was
gotten up for the purpose of securing
the soldiers votes and was called rs a
Soldiers Convention, but with the in
tention of having the thing ruled by
Copperheads. After the Convention
had assembled a resolution was offered
to the effect that none but soldiers be
admitted as members; whereupon the
Copperheads set up a terrible hue and
cry, and voted the resolutions down.
This opened the eyes of the soldiers
who did not already understand the
enaky proceedings, and they arose in
a body and left the Convention. They
proceea'd to Sherman Hall, where they
organized a Soldiers Convention pro
per, and adopted the following resolu
tions :
Resolved, That we, the citizen sol
diers of Iowa, never have affiliated
and never will affiliate with the Cop
perheads of Iowa in any political ca
pacity whatever.
Resolved, That, leaving the question
ef negro suffrage in abeyance, we will
support the nominees of the Republican
Convention held at Des Moines, on the
14th of June, 1S65.
JKSKetchum is altogether the cool
est defaulter of modern times. After
stealing two or three millions from his
father, he sent a note to him saying : i
"please tako care cf my wife and child; !
I hare taken care of myself." ' !
FEXLIX HROTIIEIIIIOOD.
We Jearn from the St. Joseph Union
that a meeting was held in that city.
on the 29th ult., for the purpose of
organizing a Circle of tbe Fenian
Brotherhood. Speeches were made
by several prominent men belonging
to the organization, who denied that the
organization was secret, or had any
thing to do with American politics.
They stated that the object of the or
ganization was the liberation of Ire
land by tne swora, ana tnat an were
accepted by the brotherhood who would
pledge themselves to this end. without
regard to their nationality, religion, or
other test. At the conclusion of the
addresses an invitation was extended,
and twenty-eight persons came for
ward and joined the Society. They
now number some 150,000 in the Uni
ted States, and are in alliance with
the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood,
of Ireland.
(lOI.IHEIlS' niSCIIAIMJES
Speculators and sharks throughout
the Fast are engaged in buying up sol
diers' discharge papers. What par
ticular speculation they have in view
we are unable to see; but the soldiers
can rest assured thai these papers are
worth as much to them as to any one
else, and they had better hold on to
them. N. P. BakerAdjutant Gener
al of Iowa, has issued a circular to the
discharged soldiers of thatr State, in
which he says: "An honorable dis-
. r - t i i -
courge oi an xowa soiuier in nseit is
wonh more to the soldier and his fami
ly, than the amount any knave will pay
for fraud or speculation."
JoSTThe so-called Democraic party
throughout the North have sufficiency
indicated their future policy that no
one doubts their intention to place all
the power they possibly can in the
hands ex-rebels. They are steadfast
ly working to that end, and it. is ..only
by the strictest .vigilance ou llitf 'pttrfc of
Union mer, that it can be prevented.
The late elections in the South have
been contacted on the direct issue of
the right of Recession, and the Copper
head Conventions, so far, throughout
the North hare indirectly adopted the
doctrine; audi only await a more favor
able opport ijuty to proclaim it loud
mouthed. '. J
Will tbe iTnion men of Nebraska be
wheeled int the support of men enter-
tiining such views?
Will Democrats
who have heretofore desired
the tri
umph of the Union arras over rebellion
lend their ait in support of the doc
trine that tiii:Staies possess the right to
seceae . ar pleasure f We know that
the Copperhead leaders in Nebraska
will try to coa'ceal the red objects of
the party, ara&V attempt to secure , votes
by the prestige of their name, which
once possessed such a charm for all
foreign bom citizens. . But the charm
of that name has beea broken, and we
find that thinking men, both native and
foreign born fare beginning to look to
the princijiles advocated by a man, or
a party, befote they give them the ben
efit of their si pport. Although the po
lineal complexion of the Nebraska
Legislature or the men filling the vari
ous county ollices throughout the Terri
tory has nn dl let bearine- upon . nation
al affairs, yet goes to show what the
views ot our people are upon certain
points, and in that manner assists in
forming public "sentiment. Let every
Union man, therefore, stand firm by
the principles of national unity,' and
thus show hai ;ve are not ungrateful
to the Govern-nent which protects us,
nor to the sold ers who have periled
their lives for the perpetuity of that
Government.
B-The trial of Wirz, the Ander

and shows a degree of cruelty and bar
barism unknown even to the wild sav
ages of thft West. He claims to have

hands of JeffJOavis may yet be found
stained with ttfrlood of those thous
ands who have yielded up their lives
in these loathsome pens, where death
was dealt out according to their "new
mode of warfare;"
B&yirj speaking of the preachers
and the oath of loyalty prescribed by
the New Consti.tjtion of Missouri, the
St. Joseph DaiIv7nto7t 6ys :
Bishop Haw $, of the Episconal
Church; has indicated to the Ministers
of his Diocese that there must be no
refractory cuttioTiup amonsr them about
the oath of loyal; they must take it if
they can do so without violence to truth,
and if ihey cannot honestly and truth
fully subscribe to it, he will excuse them
from further ministerial labors in Mis
souri. This course will relieve them
from any embarrassment in the matter,
and place the church in the hands of
men who are loyal to the Government
of the United States, under whos. pro
tection they havn the Driilee of
preaching the gospel.

AMEU1CAX CONFLICT.
We desire to call the attention of our
readers to this Standard History of the
American Rebellion, by Horace Gree
ley. In its character and scope it lias no
competitor among all the Historians of
the War.
We assure our readers that Mr.
Greeley's treatment of the subject is
honest, impartial, straightforward and
thorough. He permits public men, and
political parlies, to define their own po
sitions in speeches, letters and plat
forms.. All of his statements are well
fortified with statistical proof, and co
pious notes; he goes to the root and
source, and, with a master's hand, tra
ces the growing conflict, through the
entire period of our National Life,
His style is vigorous and inspiring.
In point of typographical execution and
beauty of embellishments, it is a work
of the very highest order. No intelli
gent American can afford to be with
out it. The work is sold only by sub
scription. Vol. I is now ready for de
livery byGeo. & C. W. Sherwood,
118, Lake St., Chicago, III., and by
their Agents. Vol. II. , which com.
pletes the work, is nearly prepared.
We advise our readers to purchase this,
the BEST HISTORY OF THE
WAR.
Mr. Lyman Hutchinson, Agent for
the History in Nebraska, informs us
that he will be prepared to deliver the
work to his subscribers in this part of
the Teiritory in a short time. He will
also have extra copies for sale to those
who have not subscribed. In the mean
time, those wishing a copy of the work
can leave their names at this office, and
they will be supplied when the Agent
arrives.

The Pittsburg Chronicle says :
Persons not accustomed to money,
should not take from or exchange for a
stranger, or irresponsible persons, any
S50 notes. Look sharp at your So's
in all cases of Nation ii notes. The
alteration is accemplish.d by the past
ing process, the figures "50"' being
pasted over the '5' ia the upper coro
ners of the note, and also upon the
bck. The words "five dollars' in the
centre of the face of the note, are ex
tracted by means of acid, and 'fifty
dollars' printed in its place. The small
figures around the margin of the note
are covered respectively with green and
black ink. I he enure work is issued
with rrrnt care, and is - will calculated
to deceive. They may easily be dis
tinguished, however, by the engraving,

FARMERS' CLIB.
Fattsmoth, Sept. 2, 1S65.
Th President inquired the best time
for thrashing wheat.
Mr. Cummins and Mr. Sebolt were
of the opinion that wheat was not keep
ing well, and should be thrashed imme
diately.
Mr. Sweeney said that if wheat
dry, it will keep well in the stack.
. Dir. t orbes said, wheat should re
mam in the stack until it had passed
through the sweat and become dry.
Mr. Symns said, after wheat has
passed through the sweat, it will keep
in the stack for years.
Mr. Fuller said, wheat should sweat
in the stack and then it will keep wel
in the bin.
Mr. Todd said, wheat should sweat
in the stack. A sill of water in the
stack is more injurious than a quart o
juice remaining in the stalk and heads,
Wintering stock was introduced by
Mr. Maxwell, who recommended good
stables and sheds, and classing the
herd. He also asked for information
respecting the manufacture of molass
es.
Mr. Todd said making molasses was
very easy, but it is very easily spoiled
and gave his mode of making it with
common pan.
Mr. Parcell uses Cook's Evaporator
but thinks there is a better kind.

description of his Clarifiers and Evapo

Cook's,
The Club discussed freely the mode
of stripping the blades, cutting and top

Mr. Parcell was invited to take the
Chair, and Mr. Maxwtll presented
the following resolutions :
Resolved, That a Committee of three
benppointed to confer with leading
agriculturists in the West, as to the
best and most covenient mode of erec:
