The Omaha Herald say that the B

rnus imporian'oe to the whole people of
this TV rriiory," but is engaged in try
in 10 uretile said grant in accordance
with instiuciions giviu it by Mm ton
during his last visit to Omaha We
agree with ihe Herald tlmt the grant is
of "mementuiua importance to the peo

will h ld those responsible who wouIJ
endeavor to cause so great a damage
to the Territory as to in any manner
throw obstacles in th? way "f ihe early
completion of the road. We showed,
a few days since, the utter falsity of
thj position taken by the Herald (in
accordance with Morion's instruction,)
iu regard 10 the i fleet of this grant up
on the people of Nebraska, tuiJ now,
mule i.iste-aJ of attempting to an
swer what we said in rfgirJ to it, !i
retorts upon us by persona! abuse -and
an attempt at sarcasm upon the paper
We presume the editor La i expended
the stock furcUhed by Morton upon
this subject, and is compelled to fail
back upon his natural element black
guardum. He is not satisfied w ith try
ing to iniure the B. Si M. R. R. Co.
and ventin? his spleen in epithets upon
he Herald, but must Leeds drag in the
name of one of our most respected cit
izens, for the reason that he once served

and a 1 such have.incurred the eternal
displeasure of all such ranting, ravii g
apologists for treason a3 the Herald
If you have anything to say against the
B. &. M. R. R , say v; end we are
willing it should stand or fall upon its
merits. But we advise that you spare
your readers the mortification and hu
'miliation of witnessing another such a
display of "ears," which is nothing
more than a virtual acknowledgement
that your first assertions in regard to
the aforesaid grant were for the so.e
purpose of inluring the Railrcrd Coai

would be considered another Webster.
SEDRASKA AT WASIIIXUTOX
In the Senate on the 19th the bill to
admit Nebraska was taken up. How
ard made a speech favoring its pass-
nge. The debate was protracted five
hours, the la.-t two hours mainly cccu
pied by radical opponents in preventing
a vote. Johnscn, of maryland, made
a long speech against the admission,
because the population was insufficient,
and e?pecial!y objected to imposing
conditional suffrage. He said this con
dition was not necessary to constitute a
Republican government, and Congress
had no power to compel States to abide
by it.
Wilson, of Massachusetts, moved an
amendment that the Legislature of
Nebraska may establish universal suf
frage, and thereby expedite the ad
mission. He had voted to admit Col
orado last session; believing how irn
portanl her vote would be on said free
dom; but the elections have resulted so
largely against the President that the
necessity for that vote no longer ex
ists, and he believed it proper to impose
conditions.
It is evident, however, that the
frieods of cur admission are sanguine
of success, for it is now reported that
the territorial project for the South wil
be postponed, in consequence of fear of
its failure in the present Senate, and
four Senators are counted on from Ne
braska and Coliradoto assist in carry
iu it through. '
E?SjA movement is on foot to pre
pare charges and specifications against
President Johson.

TI2E CO.MRACT LET,
The following item from the Bur

tract is let on the B. & M. R. R. to
Afton, and that it is the intention of the
Com r any to pu?h the Road through to
he Missouri river as quick as possible.
The Hawk-Eye is not in the habit of
exaggerating upon tu;h things, and it
statement that the work will Le pushed
along rapidly may bo considered of

ALL ABOUT IT.
The following questions frcm a gentle
man in Mississippi will serve to show
that Nebraska is attracting attention in
all part3 cf the country. We learn
that a large number of persons intend
emigration from Mississippi to Nebras
ka early in the spring, and these were
asked of a resident acquaintance here
in order that they might obtain as much
correct information as possible before
starting. We have asked of him the
privilege rf publishing them and an
swering them for the reason thai thou
sands of others, in different parts of the
States, are anxious to obtain the same
information ecuht bv this man. He
asks :
1. What Railroad facilities, present
and prospective, at Plattsinouth and ad
jacent country?
2. How often do boats pass up and
down?
3. What is the freight on corn,
wheat, potatoes and pork to St. Louis,
or Oulumbus Ky., and market price
of same now?
4 Is Plattsinouth situated immedi
ately on the river, and what kind of
river bottom is it in regard teelevaiion.
timber and soil, and how wide is the
bottom?
5. What is the population in number
and kind?
6. How does town property sell with
or without improvements?
7. What is farm land selling at in
cah in the adjacent country say from
two to 15 miles.
8. Is the priarie land productive as
the wood land?
9. What kind of limber in the coun
try. 10, Is there much maple sugar made,
and the price?
11. What kind and quality of water
away from the streams?
12. Can lands or town property be
bought on time in part?
13. Can grain, potatoes and pork be
bought in quantity in first hands during
the winter, and what the probable cost
of preparing and hauling oats, wheat,
corn, rye and pork?
14 Can plenty of timber be had for
wood and posts convenient to prairies?
15. What is the cost and conven
ience of timber for building?
16. What the cheapest fence?
1G," Do any kind of stock do well
there in winter without sheltei?
IS. How many months do they have
to be fed, and what kind of range or
pasture in summer?
19. What months is navigation sus
pended from cold?
20. Steamboat passage from rialts
mouth to St. Louis?
21. Do persons coining up in winter
suffer much inconvenience from ccld?
22. How much does it raft) in win
ter? 23. At what time and how long are
the roads muddy or in bad order for
traveling?
To the above questions we make an
swer as nearly correct as we art able to
as fellows:
1. We have a railroad within thr !
niles of Plaiumouth, on the opposite
ide of the river, which is completed to
within three miles cf Council B-ulla.
The Chicago and North Western Road
is completed to within fifteen miles of
Council Bluffs on the tast. Both the
above roads will be completed within
four weeks, when we will be directly
connered with Chicago. The C. B. Si
St. Joe. Road, (the one mentioned on
the opposite side of the river) is being
rapidly pushed-' through to St. Joseph,
and will be completed inside cf twelve
nonlh, giving us dir-ct communica
tion with St. Louis and the South. The
Burlington & Missouri River Railroad
is now contracted to within eighty miles
of this city, nd will probably be pushed
through to this city next season. It
will be immediately pushed through
from here west to connect with the Pa
cific road, thus giving us a direct line
east and west. Besides these roads,
the Atchison Road will be built on thi.
side of the river within a few years,
making this city its northern terminus.
These are the reads in which Plaits-
mouth is directly interested. The Un
ion Pacific Road is already completed
3C0 miles west fro n Omaha, and the
Iowa & Missouri Sme liue Road i
being built towards Nebraska City, Iy
ing 30 miles south of this place.
" 2- Boats pass up and down almo-t
every day durmg tiunmer season, and
sometimes four or five in a dny.
3. Freights are from 25 to 50 cents
per hundred to St. Louis. The pres
ent market price of corn is from 35ct
to 40 ct's; wheat Si .35; potatoes SI 25
per bushel (very scarce this season);
pork S7.00 per hundred.
Plattsmouth is situated immediately
on the Missouri River, two miles be
low the confluence of the Platte and
Missouri. There is but little bottom
land on the Nebraska side, anywhere
in the Territory; but there is a broad
expanse of bottom land on the opposite
side from 3 to 10 miles wide, what
would be called low bottom, panialfy
timbered with coitomvood, linn, (or
basswood ), sycamore, elm, hackberry,
walnut, burr-oak, ai'l several other va
rieties, but principally cottonwood. The
soil cannot be surpassed, unless it is by
our rolling prairies.
5. The population of Plattsinouth is
between 2.C0U and 3,000, ull white,
and as fine a lot of people as can be
found anywhere in the world.
9. Town lots, without iaprovements,
can be had at from S50 to S2.0C0
owing to location. Improved property
can be had as above with cost of im
provements.
7. Farm land can la had at from
Government price to S3U per acre;
owing to location &c.
S. The prairie land of Nebraska
cannot be surpasspd, in" point of pro
ductiveness, by any purl of the world.
as the last ten years bjar witmess.
9. The timber in the country, away
from the larg rivers is mostly oak.
walnut, hickory and ash.
10. No maple sugar.
11. The water is limestone and fresh.
No such thing as bad water known in
Nebraska.
12 Lands and town property can
be had on time, in part or in whole, by
giving proper securities.
13. The products named, except po
tatoes, can be had in quantities in first
hands, and prepared and hauled at
reasonable rates, owing to the labor
required.
14. limber can be had convenient
to a large proportion of the prairie
land, although some portions are re
mote from that necessary article.
Cottonwood umber, however, can be
cultivated successfully on the prairies,
and there are already large groves of
it in various parts of Nebraska.
15. Cottonwood lumber for building
can be had convenient at S25 to S30
per thousand feet.
16. Thech eapest fence is the "Herd
Law ;" but wherea visible fence, is
desired either wire cr boards is gen
erally used on the prairies.
17. All kinds of stork will do reas
onably well without shelter, but do bet
ter with; sheds made of prairie grass
(which, by the way, is the very best of
hay, and can be had everywhere for
the cost of cutting) oi straw is used
generally for the protection of stock,
unless where there is a large herd, and
then they are left without shelter.
ilS. Stock generally have to be fed
from four and a half to five months.
The pasture in the summer is the broad
and expansive prairies, which are cov
ered with rich and luxuriant grasses
equal to the clover fields of the old
Slates.
19. Navigation is generally suspend
ed from about the first of December to
ihe first of March, though sometimes
not so long.
20 Steamboat passage to St. Louis,
about S25.
21 As a general thing persons can
travel without suffering from cold if
warmly clad. The winds are the worst j
part.
22. No rain of consequence in win
ter.
23. The roads are seldom muddy.
The soil is sufficiently sandy to prevent
mud. It may rain all day and night,
and by 10 Mock the next morning
the soil will be sufficiently dry to plow,
and tht roads will hardly show a sign
of mud.
We have endeavored to answer the
above questions in as brief and truth
lul a manner as possible, and believe
there is sufficient good in this country
to largely overbalance ihe bad qualities.
There are many other things if which
we would like to wriie and propose to
at different times in future. Let all
who de?ire to emigrate to a good coun
try ccme and see far themselves.
