PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 19, 1856 n. R- COMECTIOT. Many of our people do not realize that within one month from now we will have direct Railroad communication with Chicago and the east; yet such is the fact. The North Western road is now completed to within twenty miles of Council Bluffs, and the C, B and St. Joe. Road is within three milei of that city. When ;hese two gaps are filltd which will he in less than thirty days we wi'l hve from the opposite side - or ine river, aireci rommunicaiieu wmi the east. Contracts have already been entered into to have goods delivered in this city over that line. Work is to be commenced on the Platte country road on the 17ih of this month, and before another winter we will have Railroad connection with St. Joseph and St. Louis. These roads, to be sure are not of the mine importance to us that the B. & M. R. R. will be; but they are not to be despised. They give a csmmunication which is nearly equal to that of any other town on the river in poict of convenience, if tlny do not serve to attract the fame attention towards us that they do to other towns As to the B St M. R. R , there is no question. That it will be built to this city and hence west, no one pretends to doubt; and the only quettion in re gard toil is the time. We have every reason to believe that work will be commenced at this noint earlv in the Coming- season, and will be pushed for ward wi;h nufficient vigor to be ready for operation by the time the Pacific road reaches the heavy trade of the east. Then again, the road coming up this side of the Missouri will probably terminate at this point, giving us roads leading in far different directions one directlv easl. one north by way of Council Bluffs, one south on the Iowa side, one directly west, and one direct Jy south through Nebraska. TUG DRIDUH QUESTION Mb. Editor. I am glad top that the. nro Dos iu on la bridge yae'x lane nv er meeis with such general favor. The en!y difference of opinion seems to be whether the bridge shall be "tree or "toll," or whether it shall be built by a company to whom the credit of the Territory shall be loantd. or whether the Territory shall build it and make it a free bridge. Many persons, f jr whom I entertain a very high opinion favor the last proposition. I destru to state some objections to the free bridge system. 1st, I am opposed to the Territory encaginir in a system of internal im provements, as it opens toe door to in numerable frauds, and will entail upon us nn enormous public debt. It must be borne in mind that it will not be possible to stop at one, or even two bridges across the Platte, for. as mo- illation increases along tne river bridges would be a necessity; and at day not far distant, every twenty miles of the Piatte will have a bridge. How important then, that we should com mence this work upon correct pricci pie; for if the Teiritory builds a bridge for Cass, Saroy, Douglass and Otoe, will not Saunders, Lancaster and Dodge ask the same favor ? Most assuredly they will, and so will every county ly ing upon the river, rather will they not demand it as a right? Most assuredly they will. 1 only ask tax-ravers to consider this carefully. 2d, Such is the nature of the Platte river, that a bridge, I care not how it may be constructed, will need con siani attention and close watching to prevent iu Deing damaged or destroyed Will any one devise a plan Ly which it can be done without being a constant tax upon the whole Territory. I knoir that monopolies are very un popular, anu deservedly so, out even a monopoly is not so burdensome, when it fr.lls only on those benefited by it as a system that taxes thousands for the benefit of the few. I venture to say that not more than one to every hun dred of the citizens of Nebraska will cross the bridge. Now is it just that the ninety nine should be taxed heavily in order that one should be enabled to cross free. It need not be an oppres sive monopoly, and I am sure that it will not be. I hope that those who dif fer with me will present their plans, and let us decide upon that which is best calculated to accomplish the desiied end. Trusting that through full and free discussion of the various plans, we may arrive at a dt'trmlnn'.j-.n at to 4 which ii best, I will leave the iubject for the present, but will probably have more to say in the future. D. SEED WHEAT. Cass Co. N. T., Dec. 17. 1866. Mr. Editor. In the Herald of Dec 12ih. I notice an article advising fanners to send South for seed wheat. and in a paragraph you call attention to the communication by , endorsing the opinion of the writer.'adding, thatevery farmer knows that ueed produced in a warmer climate is absolutely necessary to keep the product) to a first class article. Although called a farmer, I do not know such to be the fact. Allow me to ask how you know the theory advocated by to be the true mode of successful farming. If, as seems taken for grant ed, that every farmer knows the thing to be true in fact, there would be no need of discussing the subject. But my experience in farming does not sustain the proposition. Allow me, briefly, to give some reasons why I should differ in opinion, both with your correspond ent, aud yourself, Mr. Editor. First, these farmers need a change of seed wheat occasionally, and always from a region where a less number of days are required to perfect a crop than in the region where we propose to sow the new kind of wheat or other grain. Most farmers think they know that wheat ripening in the earliest part of wheat harvest is the plumpest and heaviest, and always the least liable to be injured by scab or rust; now it seems to some farmers, that where wheat is brought from a region one hundred miles south, the sea.-on there, beinsi longer than here, grain from that re gion, if sown here would require the length oi season to perfect the grain here as further south, and hence, would ripen late, and would be liable toshriv el, indeed, 1 never knew late ripening wheat as good as that ripening in the ear'v part of harvest. But my sheet is full and I must c'ose. Now Mr Editor, if this is worth your notice and there is room in lh Herald, you are at liberty to publish as much as is ac ceptable. J. F. B.

For instance, it has been remirkt-d Within a few days, that ihe American funds are lower at Lon . ... . - don, I rankfert and New York, and the conclusion shown is that the rela tions between France and the Uni ed States must be very delicate, and the rather because it is rumored that the Juarez loan is quoted lower in London IMew York.

A few of these unfortunate victims have been brought out alive, but badly mutihted. Engineers are of the opinion lhat owing to the foul air there can be no more alive in the works. If this is so, over 300 human beings lie dead in ihe recesses of the pit. The excitment among the families in town is most 'ntense and painful. The works and vicinity have been ihe scene of wailinir and do.-pair all day. A similar accident occurred some twenty years ago at ihe same pit, by which 73 lives were lost. Barneslt, Dec. 13.

I S x ales spoKe in ravor oi me aomis sion of Nebraska.

Wade Without regard to that, Sumner Without regard to the rights of freedmen. Wade I am as much in favor of colored suffrage as anybody, bull will stand by my agreement.

Brown look the Moor in advocacy of the amendment. Hendricks took the floor in opposition to ihe Bdl on ihe pending amendment. taking the ground that the majority in favor of State Government in Nebraska was very small. Grimes moved to suspend the further consideration and take up the resolu for holiday recess. The resoiunon taken up. Fessenden opposed it. If the gentlemen flattered themselves that thsre was nothin? to do, all he had to say was, to tall alien tion to the debate of aj. hour's length today. On vo'e to take up the bankruptcy bill, the pending bill and the bill lo re peal ihe President's amnesty power and a great many other things were to be considered, it was said by some that the 40th Congress would assemble on the 4th of March.

The Reform demonstration, which took pi ice in London, December 3d, was a complete success -Ihe people turned out in immense numbers; ihe process. on of the different Trade So cieties was a most impo-ing affair; and the greatest order prevailed. The sol ¬ diers were this time kept within their barracks, they might just as well have been sent a hundred miles out of Lon don.
