If a majority cf ihe legal voters of Nebraska desire to assume nil the re sponsibilities cf S:ale Government we pro willing to support the movement. From what we have been able togeth er in conversations with many of th? citizens of Cars county, we give it as cur belief that a majority cf the voters t this county are not prepared to vote favorably upon this measure. We I:now, and it it publicly diacussed on cur streets, that the movement is in a great measure bn3ed upon a strong ef fort now being made by deeply inter ested parties to thwart, so far as the influence of Nebraska in Congress could do so, the tffbrts of Colorado and Kansas to change the I oca: ion of the Pacific Railroad from the I'laite to eith er the Republican, Solomon or Smoky Hill Rivers. Now, so far as the inter ests of the Sou.h Platte- country are concerned, we confess thai a coalition of that interest with those of Kansas and Colorado looks the most reasonable and by far the most strengthening to the rtilroad interests south of Flatle river. Should, therefore, the springing of this question upon the people nt this lime be truly a preservative meaiure, inau gurated at Omaha to protect the railroad interests of that section t the manifest injury cf those of the South Platte, we would, in behalf of this portion of tha Territory, demand a more thorough discussion of the advantages and dis &u vantages Ilk ely to arise from the suc cess of such a movement. We Lave seen printed memorials mailed freni Omaha, pra'ying' the Leg islature at its approaching session to frame a Constitution for Nebraska to be submitted to the people. This is a strategic movement, which we think entirely uncalled fcr. Pecple, a every one knows, sign such petitions with very little thought of their canserpen 99a, but we opine that had the memo rial been a subscription list to defray the expenses of Stato Government, it would not receive many signatures, at least no: enough to command the action of our Legislature as being the will of 'fho people." To force this quettion upon the people-of Nebraska before a full discussion of a'l the pros and tons involved in it has been fairly and can didly had, we deem not only inoppor tune, but unwise, as it will undoubtedly damage the prospects of any attempt to change the present sta. us of the Terri tory. We would ak our readers to look well to their interests before committing themselves to either sidt of this ques tion, and to bear in rr.rnu that our rail road interests and those cf North Tlaite are diametrically opposed. We have r road building rapidly toward us from from the cast, and whether that road reaches the 100th meridian on the Platte or Republican rivers is a matter of such vital importance to Colorado and Kansas that they will move heaven and earth to change the present location which leaves Denver out in the cold to either the Republican, Solomon, or Smoky 1 1111 Rivers. With us of the South Platte this change is deeply in teresting, anl whether tha sending of our quota cf members to Congress would benefit Omaha or the South Platte intifrl be fully and fairly canvassed- be fore we give our adhesion to the move ment inaugurated by thes memorials referred to. E&F By the recent decision of the Government authorities, soldiers who re-enlisted in the regular army within thirty days after their discharge from the volunteer service, will be entitled to the addiiions.1 pay of two dollars per month provided by Congressional en actment in 1S61, when their service in the army ia connection with the term they have contiguously served in the volunteers, shall amount in the aggre gate to five years. tf&T The settlement of back pay and accounts of discharged soldiers will La much facilitated by sending their discharge papers direct to Col. Pauld ing, paymaster in charge at Washing ton. By this means the long delay oc tasioced by seuding soldier's accounts to the Second Auditor's office will be avoided. This is understood to apply only to cases where the applicant is Lrin,;. gsS3 Gen.

COJII.VG WEST. Things have never looked co favor able since the first settlement of Ne braska for a heavy emigration, ns they do at. the present time. We hear of whale neighborhecds in different parts of the east that will be depopulated next spring by the western fever. Thousands of men who have lost their occupation during the war will seek the west, where they can secure a good home for a small sum of money, and many who have small farms in the east are making arrangements to dispose of them and come where they can get larger and better tracts cf land. A man who has a small place back east, say thirty or forty acres, valued at from 825 to SoO per acre, has ihe hardest kind of work to make an honest living off it. That man could dispose of h:s land for enough to make himself almost independent in thU western country. Here he could get one hundred and sixty acres of land, as good as was ever stirred with a plow, as a free gift from our magnanimous government; and the price he would receive for his small place back east would give him a suf ficient fund to make the necessary im provements, and set everything in good running order. We know that many iu the east who have families, object to coming to a new country on account of the supposition that there are few, if acy, schools. Thi3 is a mistaken idea so far as Nebraska is concerned. We have here a gcod school system, and there is scarcely a ueighbood but has its school house. In fact, we have nearly or quite as good facilities for schooling as can be found in most of the Western State and a greater interest is manifested in it by the pecple in genera. FRO."I T1IC KL'ICAL. DISTRICTS Salt Cheek, December 13, '65. Deae Herald: The question cf a State Government for Nebraska is be ing agitated again among our people. We have discussed the question at great length, and can see no reajon why our sparse population should now shoulder the burthens attending such a movement, but we are plain, simple-minded farm ers, and perhaps cannot see the advan tages when they do really exist. A number of our people favored the measure when it was brought before the people a year ago, but then we did it on the grcund that we ought to assist in ratifying the Constitutional amend ment abolishing slavery, and otherwise aid the Government which gave us pro tection. But we were then in the n.iJs. of a civil war, and the Government was strained to its utmost capacity. Now we have successfully emerged from the war, and c-ccupy a ground that I think we should by all means retain, for the present at least. We are now well governed, by-good officers, and have the same material in our Legislature that would fill a State Legislature. W are being governed cheaply, and the fact is so generally understood that hundreds of the best citizens of the old States are emigrating hither, and mak ing tha Salt Creek valley, at least, to "blossom as the rose." The fact of Nebraska being a Ter ritory which is equivalent to advertis ing her as a ttcic country, in which for tune can ba made will induce hun dreds of emigrants l.i'.her who would otherwise quietly settle clown under the "slow coach" habhs and burthen?ome taxation of the States where they now reside. We of the Salt Creek valley are looking confidently forward to the time when we can boast of an equality in agricultural improvements with any section cf the great valley of the "Old Mil 'dy,'' and we desire to labor in a field that will conduce to that end, and will ignore for the time all party alli ance in order to gain that point. We say our excellent Governor is being paid by the United States, and our Leg islative 'expenses are also paid, and while we could not hope to gel either a belter Governor or better Represen tatives if we were taxed to pay thou, let U3 remain as we now are until the rapidly increasing population vtill jus'ify the measure. We are doing well--let us be content. Mr. Editor, this .3 a matter of vital importance to the farmer who is sub duing the wild prairies, and should not be twisted to dovetail the wishes or in clinations of ambitious politicians. You owe it to your patrons to oppose th'6 measure, or 6t least to give them a hearing through your columns even though our remonstrance be not drawn up in the elegant language, or our ar guments reduced to the metaphysical hair-breaths of experts in tha line. We hope the scheme may be abandoned, but if it is stiil pressed we hope the in telligent husbandmen of Nebraska will literally entomb our Legislature in re monstrances against it. If j'ou favor ua by publishing this letter, we may give ycu further ideas of our ''sturdy sons cf toil," should the question te further pressed. YourP, etc., AWAKE. THE EXI OF SLAVERY. Secretary Seward Las, in accordance with his Constitutional duty, i.sued the following pruclsmation declaring the amendment to th Constitution abolish ing Slavery as having become valid and a. part of said instrument Washington, Dec. IS. Whereas, It appears from official documents on file in this Department, that the amendment to the Constitution of the United States, proposed as afore said, was ratified by the legislatures of the States cf Illinois, Rhode Island, Michigan, Maryland, New York, West Virginia, Maine. Kansas, Massachu setts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Nevada, Indiana. Louisiana, Minneso ta. Wisconsin, Vermont, Tennessee, Arkansas, Connei ticut, New llamp shire. South Carolina, Alabama, Nnh Carolina and Georgia; in all 27 States. ll'hereas, The whole number of States in the United State? is 36, Whereas, The before specially named States who legilati:re ratified said proposed amendment, constitute three fourths of the whole number of States iu the United States: Therefore, Be it known that I. Wm. II. Seward, Serretary of Slate of th? United Suites, by virtue and in pursu ance of the 2d seetion of an act i-f Congress approved the 20 th of April, lSl, entitled an act to provide for the publication cf '.lie laws of the United States ai d for other purposes, do here by certify that the amendment afore said has become valid to all intentt.and purposes as part of the Constitution of tha United States. (Signed) Wm. II. Sewakd. SS""A letter from thi Emperor Na poleon is said to have b-;eii received at the Slate Department at Washington, requesting the recognition of Maximil lian's government in Mexico, to which the Secretary of State has replied, firm ly declining the request, and giving the reason why. It is anticipated, in view of this correspondence and the action of Congress, the Mexican question, as far is this country is concerned, will soon come to a head. CSF" The tone and temper of the South does not promise to hasten recon struction. They de.-ire to come back like the Bourbons, "having learned nothing and forgotten nothing." In the Virginia Legislature one of the chiv airy said, a few diys since, that he thought "the great State of Virginia had truckled to the Washington author ities about long enough," and the ex pression was received with applause. The same temper crops out in too many localities yet. If the Snuthern people have not suffered enough from such in firmity, let them sutler on. They may yet learn there is such a thing as "the taming of the -dirtw." m o 5Gen. Logan has finally declin ed the Mexican mission His reason for taking this step lias not been made public, but it ii u-ridrstnod to be two fold first, he does not like the pjlicy which the Government has mapped out; second, he is going to make a fight for United States Senntor Irom Illinois, in place nf Trumbull . CSF" The Rocky Mountain A'ews tells of an enthusiastic young Missouri an who, eulogizing the beauty cf his "gal," said, "111 bo c!og-oned if she ain't as pretty as a red wagon." The people of Richmund, Va., are in a high stato of excitement in apprehension of on outbreak among the negroes during the holidays. It is re ported that preparations for a gigantic insurrection had been made by an ex tensive gathering snd secretion of arms, and from fear that negroes w'll attack and rob trains, the Superintendent of the Richmond Jc Danville Railroad has issued a notice that no freight can he carried over it between the 21st of De cember and the 5th cf January. The apprehension is believ-jd :o Lo ground less. i It was reported at Washington on the 2d, that the Secretary of Slate is notified by the Spanish minister that one certainly, possibly two privateers are bein fitted cut at New York to prey on Sprnish commerce under the Chilian flarr. t.y The Treasury Department has paid over elt-ven liuudred dollars to Mrs. Washington, widow of Lewis Washington, the rebel officer, being the proceeds of her household property seized and sold during the. war.

He ha been visited ty his old spiritual adviser and the pastor of St. Paul's church, Richmond, who passed ihe entire day at his prison in reading and conversation. A Washington letter soys that Confederate bonds are being bought up by parties who are willing to risk the chance of their assumption ly the Uni ted States. 2T The official vote of Louisiana for Governor, on the 6th of November, is declared to have been: For J. Mad ison Wells, 22,312; for Henry W. Al-1-n, 5.497. CSS Th wrrL-Ar. l.nv raited a large portion of the famous rebel iron- clad, the Merrimac, which was sunk off Norfolk. The composition wheel cf nine tons, fifty feet of the stern, and a section cf the thaft were brought up at. ! one liilmg, and have been carried ta the navy yard. There is no doubt that on the 21st insl. the President nominated lo the Senate ex-Concressman Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, to be minister ex traordinary to the Republic of Mexico, in place cf Gen. Logan, who declined the nomination. It was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. fiy2fThe Southern members of Con gress elect held a caucus on the 21 st inst., and decided to return to their homes-, leaving one from each.St-ate to represent them before the joint fom mittee of Congress. J2T" The remains of President Lin coln were removed on the 21st intt. from the receptacle vault st Oak Ridge Cemetery, Springfield, to the new vault erected near the site of the proposed monument. The remains of Mr. Lin coln's two children were placed in the same vault.

Perry, of South Carolina, having been directed by the President to continue in the ex-' ercie of his functions as Provisional Governor until relieved by orders frum Washington, has employed as his sub stitute Mr. Jam's L. Urr, who wasin- aiifri.ntc.l nr. tho 0'h ll't as tprPfru- a"gurated on tne,-j,n u.i. as i..e rerrU lar Governor cf ihe State. In fact, Mr. Perry has gene so far as to deliver his own valedictory, just as if he were really abandoning hi office, though pretending still 10 hold it. How truly this is complying with the rpirit of the President's directions, it is not fcr us to determine; but at this distance the pro ceeding wears very much the appear ance of an unworthy evasion. -Chicago Bepublitin.

The French minister has official in telligence from President Juarez of the abandonment of Chihuahua by the French forces. Two millions of Mexican dollars coined at El Paso, were deposited yes terday in one of the Washington banks to the credit of the Mexican Republic. No official information from the French Government that the Emperor intends to withdraw his troops from Mexico is yet given out by the French minister in diplomatic circles that such is the intention.
