Pursuant to a published call, a Lrge
number of discharged sjlJ.era met at
the Court-House in this city on the eve-'
ning of the 3J inst., fur the purpose of
c fleering an organization. Jrl. J Math
id wis -chosen chairman, and E. A.
Graves, secretary. Messrs. Montgom
ery. Marshall acd Graves were ap
pointed a committee to correspond wnh
the officers of the "'Grand Army of the
Republic.'' The resolutions adopted
by the "Grand Army of the Uepubiic'"
at its recent session in Springfield, and
published in thu Herald, were read
before the meeting and endorsed.
Messrs. J. E Doom. R. A. Collins, J
V. Johnson, H. L Levi and V. G.
Woodruff" were appointed a committee
to notify discharged solJiers and failors
of the existence of the organization,
and to impart euch knowledge in re

orably discharged soldiers and siilors
desiring to connect themselves with the
organizv.ion can ootain all necessary
information relative to its objects, etc.,
by adJressing either one of the above

lOth at 6 1 2 o'clock.
We hope to see the organization
nro?D?r. for if there is any class of
men that deserve prosperity in every
thing they do that is right, it certainly
is that patriotic class that braved death
and rebel prison? for their country.
SFCCIAL. ORDCK.
The bill for the admission of Nebras
La has been made the tpecial order for
to-day (Monday), inthe Senate. There
is no opinion given in the dispatches as
to the probable result, but private in
lelligence warrant? the belief that we
will be admitted.
FALLEN.
The Omaha Herald, in speaking of
the "probability of the Southern States
Arrrpininnr the Constitutional Amend
ment, sa'ys : '-If ihey do this, we sha!
reserve the right to believe that thai
spirit which once animated n great peo
pi j ha sadly fallen from its once proud
eminence." Does the Herald argue
that the spirit of man is "fallen" when
he concludes to ratify the right? That
sheet has utterly failed to show wherein
the proposed amendment is wrong, but
concludes that it shows a fnllen spirit
for the southern people to ratify it.
We had always supposed it exalted a
people to be just; but we are protally
ignoractof what constitutes coppeihead
greatness. Their siaiidard may be sim
liar to that of the Pawnee Indians
where the one that steals the greatest
l, umber of ponies, or commits the most
heinous crime, is considered the great
est "brave." The Herald does not ap
pear to think that the crime of treason,
or the starving to death of thousands of
Union soldiers, could in any degree
change its. opinion of the "proud emi
nence'' of ihe spirit of chivalry; but if
they should be the least trifle jast, it is
the signal of a great "fall."
TIMIIEIt Ii.4ISI.U.
We are pleased to see :he press cf
Nebraska agitating this question, and
hope amie good may result therefrom
It is a fact well ettablbhed in the mind;
of our people that Nebraska requires
more timber. The present ilrtbitants
get along very well with the supply we
now have-; but the thousands of acres
i f arable land now lying idle must be
cul.ivated sooner or later, and the soon
er so:ue ineaiu of furnishing the tim
ber necessary to a proper state of im
provement is adopted; that much ear
lier may we expect to tee Nebraska the
pride of the West. The question as to
whether timber can te succestfuliy cul
tivated on our prairie soil needs no dis
cussion or further test. That it can
be is a well established fact. What
we need now is a solution as to what
is the best method of planting Sec, what
kind of timber will be most profitable,
and some kind 'bf encouragement for
farmers ta engage in the business.
The profit to the timber grower i really
sufficient encouragement, but it is
necessary that the question be agita'ed
ta show wha; ihe profits will really be.
We invite those who have had experi
ence id the matter to lay their views
before the public through the columns
sf the Herald, making such sugges
tions as their knowledg e of the climate,
soil, and need of Nebraska may lead
ihero to telieve would be benefkinl.
This subject has been talked of to some
extent since the first settlement of the
Territory; but it is no'V high time that'
we have something more than talk.
The immigration into Nebraska is as
suming vast proportions, and it is a
necessiiy that something be done to
quiet the cry for timber. Thi. task
must be assumed by the older settlers
of Nebraska those who have lived
here long enough to fully understand
what we i.eed and how we can best
obtain it. The formation of a Suie
Agricultural Society would do much to
wards forwarding this project
toxYiiscss
Re-assembled on the 2J, and we ex
pect interesting news before many days
The session previous to the adjourn
ment for the holidays served to show
ihe state of feeling upon different ques
linns, and to determine the minds of
member upon what course they wou!d
pursue. It is reported that S.even3 i
preparing business of importance,
which will be brought up immediately
upon the reassembling. The Nebras
ka bill will probably be brought up
within a few davs. and we w.ll soou
know whether we are a State or i
Territory.

lYS A CJSIIC'U I-.TUIt.il.. SOCIETY
Mn. Editor. Now is a leisure
time wi h the farmers, and would it no
be well for them to embrace the favor
able opportunity to permanently organ
ize an Agricultural society; Cass coun
ty has the reputation of being a leading
Agricultural County. The success she
has attained in this direction has been
atti ib ited in a meat measure to the
Farmers Club and the Agricultural So
ciety that has formerly existed. The
old farmers have become independent
to a great extent, andnew ones have
come in to help bear the burdens of an
Agricultural Society, as well as to help
reap the rewards. In this they are
differently and more favorably siiuated
than in former yeaas, and even then
ihey had good Fairs. Why not organ
iZ9 a Society make it a Joint Stock-
Company, issue shares, small, so that
ihey will be within the reacfc of every
farmer in the county say S10, pur
biiase a suitable tract ot load tor a Fair
ground, now, while it can be bought
cheap, make such improvements as are
within the reach of the society without
embarra-sing r. and thus encourage
ihe introduction of improved stock, the
bitter cultivation of the soil and the
introduction of the best labor-saving
midlines.
Aside from the benefits that woub
arise from the Agricultural Society
the investment would be a good one
ihe Society's grounds would increase
in value as the real estate which sur
rounds it. Secure your land aud en
close it with an Osage Orange hede
and in a short time you will have f
fence that will not rot down, have trees
set out, that they may be growing
These improvements will cost compar
atively little, and will add to the rea
value of the ground.
Very truly yours.

Ed. IIebald. My friend B. ap
pears to think that my statement ap
plies only to winter wheat. I believe
that wheat harvest commences in Tex
as in the latter part of April, and as
we proceed north, for each degree of
latitude we will find harvest two or
three days later, in Illinois the same
variety of wheat is about a mouth later
in the extreme northern pan ef the State
than in the southern part, and we find
the same rule holds good in Minnesota,
where spriDg wheat is cut as late as
Sept. 1st. We usually sow most of our
wheat in the latter half of March, and
commence cutting, usually about the
15th of July, in Minnesota, I am reli
ably iuformed, that wheat is usually
sown the last week in March and first
two weeks in April, and they usually
commence ctiuing about the middle ot
August. I think that Mr. B. overlooks
the fact of the tendency of wheat to
ripen at about ih same time as the
seed from which it is raised, this rule,
however, is limited; consequently wheal
brought from the shores cf the Medt-
teranan sea has proved to be the ear-
iest ni.d most successful of any intro
duced into the United States. I belive
that Botanists generally agree that both
winter and spring wheal are derived
from the same variety, and that the
change has been produced by acclima
tion In regard to the deterioration off
seed. I append the following, that agrees
with my own experience ;
Detebiohatios or Seed. A cor'
reriwndeni in Washington county,
Maryland, referiing to the enemies of
wheat in his rt gicn, adds: "In addi
tion to these enemies, a formidable dif
ficulty ari-ies from the repeated use for
a series of years of the same variety of
seed on the sanr? soil, in the same lo
cality. Each variety of wheat seems
to do well here for a series of eight or
ten years, then it seems to languish and
become more liable to injury from ihe

Omaha, Jan. 7, 1SG7.
Onrnday last a party went west
from Platte Bridge to repair the tele
cradi lire. About 20 miles west of

of the smldiers that had been stationed
at the Sweet Water bridge. Soon af

drove thm back. They went through
to the Sweet Water riJge yesterday.
and returned to Plane Bridge last night.
They report finding the station at

It is probable that tliw few soldiers sta

JK' om.' lime last summer two
compositors in the Statesman office, of
Nebraska City, publihed a challenge
to the compositors of the Territory.
We respectfully refer them lo the one
spoken of as follows by an exchange
" We have a compositor in this office
the friction ot whose movements over
the tvpe in hta stick fuses them solid
like the stereotype plate. The only way
to prevent this is to have hts case sub

ESzT" The Denver JVews gives an ac

Mr. Van Trees and a Mr. Cozzens then
began the chase, which lasted five

"At the same time that the Presi

and Nebraska on account of alleged de
ficiency of population, he strenuously
insists upon ihe admission of Florida,
which has less white population than
either Colorado or Nebraska, and does
not receive one emigrant where those
States receive ten. '1 here are more

A Western paper tells a story
of a distressed agriculturalist, thus : A
farmer dropped in here, on Wednesday
's!, to pay hi. rent, putting on a long
face to correspond with the times. On
entering the house he told the landlord
that times bing so bad, he could not
raise the money at all; and dashing a
bundle of greenbacks upon the table,
said : "There is all that I can pay."
The money was taken up and counted
by the landlord, who said : 'Why, this
is twice as much as you owe. 'Daog'

"I'm dashed if I didn't take it out of
