Ed. Herald: As spring is utiusu
ally backward, it is important that those
intending to sow wheat should sow it
as soon as the season will admit: (and
let me advise your fanner readers to
s j'.y all the wheat that they can con
veniently.) prospects are ery faor
atle for high prices for at least another
year. The fct is thai there is too Urge
a proportion of the population of the
United Slates in towns and villages,
and tco few producers in proportion to
to the whole numler of people; and
while this disproportion continues, prices
of grain must be high. Nebraska is
one of the best and surest wheat pro
ducing Staies of the Union. Let me
ergo the importance of $oing wheat
as early as the reason will permit; t
sow clear seed mad oot than two
bushel to the acre. In regard to the
variety, there are various opinions; the
China or Tea" wheat is usually plump
but is liable to tha'trr if not cut as soon
as ripe. The Fife variety usually pro
duces more Lusheln per acre, but I
think is more liable to be allected wuh
the spot than some other varieties, all
things considered, I prefer the China
variety. I prefer to sow wheat on
ground on which corn was raised the
previous year, if possible, break down
the corn (.talks, rake and burn them
before sowing, then harrow thoroughly
with a good harp tooth harrow; I find
the best harrow for my use to be a
s-iuare hinged harrow with thirty teeth,
and il pays to have the teeih sharpened
every fprmg.

Friend Hatiiawhv: As the now
paSt unllf'-"'"' vlJ weaiher wjtn Ue,
may Ivnl to fa'se views of our climate
wiih new comers, a few facts conct.ru
ing it may not be amiss.
It has indeed been a cold month,
with a mean daily average of 16 91
100 vlogre-j.-; vLich is nearly 3 ddgrt-es
lower than any ta.ta in the Union has
reported to the Smithsonian Iu&liiute
for 13 years pait. But another fact
comes in here, viz : The mean tem
perature of March as thus reported for
Nebraska, for nine yenrapau has been
37 1)J 1U0 degrees, or 21 deg. Lighfr
than the March now passed. So that
n the natural order of seasons, we
cannot expect a repetition or even ap
proach to the same cold often.
In the yearn 1S60 63 G4 & 65
my wheat was sown and up green at
this date; and thw latent date at which
grass has thu'.vn itself green and grow
ing, for nine years past was April 23d.
while the same has often occurred with
in the firbt week of April, and in 1SG0,
on the lo'.h day of March.
So, although the severe cold may
havt formed our lips in a shape for
hard words, let us hold on; or in very
expressive words "Urin and bear it."

Electricity in a Cotfou-Mill.
The Lowell (Mass.) Courier, of the
23d of March, says:
It is a general truth that friction
develops electricity, and most workmen
know that a machine bell at highspeed,
by its friction with the air, is highly
electrified. It has for years been a
common experiment for a workman to
light gas burners by holcin? one hand
to a fast geiug belt, and the other to
the open burner. This matter was
curiously demonstrated in the AppSeton
Mills of this city on Wednesday. A
iroug fcmell of fire bein noticed, the
premises were carefully searched, and
a small quantity of cotton lint, inside a
bea casing, was found on fire. The
lint lay upon a beam which was wi-V
in four inches of a belt tome fifteen
inches wide, and moviuj some two
hundred and twenty revolutions per
rniDuto. In the btam was an iron bolt,
the head of which was toward the beit.
From the' belt to the bolt was passing a
stream of electric fparks, which had
set the lint on fire. After attending to
this case, Mr. Motley, the agent, open
ed ihe casing of a similar belt in anoth
er m il. The l earn in this case was
fourteen inches from the belt, but the
stream of electric fire was at once seeu
jumping across the beam, akhougti it
had not set fire to anything. Perhaps
sonne of the) cases sf fire from suppos
ed spontaneous combustien are due to
the electricity from machinery. The
subject is an intereMinrr one for inves
ligation, and probably a proritabl. oneJi

We see in the Cincinnati Times o
March 21st, a letter dated at Plaits
mouth, treating upon the soil, climate,
of Nebraska, and from the initials
w judge il to be the produet:on of -a
premiuent farmer of this county, and
one whose statements in regard to Ne
braska are in every way reliable. We
hope this manner of disseminating a
thorough knowledge t f our young State
will be adopted by others. Let our
farmers and other write short, point
ed and truthful letters to different
papers throughout the Eastern
States, and their effect will soon be
seen in the increase of immigration.
There is nothing gained by misrepre
sentation. Write the plain unvarnish
ed truth in rird to Nebraska, the
tanie us the correspondent above allud
ed to Una done, and il is all we need.
We make the following extract from
the letter in the Times:
Plattsmou'.h, the couuty teat of Cas
county, is situated at the mouth of the
Platte river, having a p.ipu'ation of
about two thousand inhabitant per
haps more ami is sustained Ly as tine
an agricultural country as, in my opin
ion, exist on the fce ot the eurth.
We are on the 41 si dfgree, north latti
tude, the same as New York e:ty, and
about the same as the centres of the
Slates of Ohio. Indiana and I linti.
1 greaily prefer the climate of Ne
brasita to tliat of I .idianu or Tennessee,
because our winters are very dry, sel
dom having any rain between the 1st
of December and the 20th of February,

nations of rain, rl-et, snow and fog.
Fogs are uncommon, and cold sletty
rains tire unknown, unless late in the
fall or spring, and seldom then. I firid
it easier to winter stouk here than in
Indiana or Tennessee, because as is
weil kno.vn to ai! etui;k raiser?, cold
tain and sleet are far more injurious to
stock than colJdry weather. Our win
ters usually break up about the 1st of
March (but it is not uncommon to fow
spring wheat ihe latter part of Febru
ary), with pleasant sunshine and a
warm tain, which make il disagreeable
(or ti vtU or Ua Jay, on arruaut of
the mud; but as soon as the fro. t is out
of the ground, aur land is in the nicest
posiib'e conJiuou for putting n crops,
and as mellow a3 an ashbank. It would
do the farmers along the Ohia river
Cowd to see with what ease we work
the soil. They will understand me bet
ter when I state that as good wheat as
I ever saw, yielding thirty five bushels
per acre, was sown among corn stalks,
and harrowed each way once, with a
light two horse harrow.
Our spring months are delightful
The soft delicious sunshine, carolling
of the birds, the rapid growth of the
grass, robing the broad prairie with a
mantle of green, variegated with many
varieties of beautiful flowers, making
it not only pleasant to the eye, but fill
ing the whole system w.th that indis
snoab.'e buoyancy only produced by a
pure atmosphere, aud causing a person
to feel that it is a real pleasure to live.
Our summers are hot but never sul
try. There is always n pleasant
breeze, which renders farm or other
ou'-door work peasant compared with
those places where I have formerly
lived. Even in our warmest weather
the nights are delightfully cool, making
sleep easy and refreshing. As before
stated, fogs and drizzling rains are un
common. When it rains it is an hon
fbt outpouring of ihe water, which is
soon over with, at;d such is the nature
of the soil that it is rarely more than
twenty four hour after a heavy rain
before it is in condition to work.
We do not have a great deal of rain,
but our soil is such that it bears drouth
to an astoni.'hing degree. This qua'i'y
will be appreciated when I state that
in eight years Cass county has neer
failed to raise a err p, having every
season a surplus of both corn and
wheat to export.
This one fact considered in connec
tion with the known failures in Mis
souri, Kunsas and Iowa, durinrx 'he
same time, speaks more eloquently for
the virtues of our soil than any words
I could write. The fall ia .uths are
veiy dry. excepting a wet spell about
the middle of September, after which
we have the most delightful India. i
summer, which frequently lasts until
near Christmas; hut good farmers mike

Tlie Uaukrupt Act its scope
aad HfTect.
A corespondent inquires concerning
the effect' of the new Uaukrupt Law :
whether it supercedes and nullifies the
insolvent or bankrupt laws of the vari
ous Sta'es, or whether those laws are
still in full vigor; and especially, wheth
er a man can Mirrender Ins property
under the State insolvent laws fo the
benefit of preferred creditors as :here
tofore permitted by those laws, not
witheianding the new act of Congress?
Among tho powers of Congres enu
merated by the Constitution (Art 1,
Sec. VIII.) is the power "to establish
uniform laws on the subject of vank
rnptcies throughout ihe United States."
The power is nit exclusive, and may
be exercised by the States under cer
tain restrictions, which are thus Mated
by Chancellor Kent (2 Com. 3(J0):
-No State bankrupt or iusolven. law
can be permitted to impair the obliga
tion of contracts; aud there must like
wise be no act of Congress inexitence
on ihe subject conflicting with such
law. There is this further limitation,
also, on the power of the er?araie
States to pass bankrupt or insolvent
laws, that they cannat in the exercise
of that power, act upon ihe rights of
citizeus of other States." Under thee
restrictions a State may pass bankrupt
laws; but when there is an act of. Con
gress on the subject it is suprema on
matters embraced in its provision', aad
ai.-y fciiite laws conflicting with it are
null und of no effect. The new Rmk
ru:u Law fully covers the question of
preferred creditors, nnl therefore. over
rides any tcatute of any Sttite au:hor
izina a different rule. The new' law-
declares that "the following claims
:hall be entitled to priority or prefer
ence, and be first paid in full m iht
following order." It then enumerates
them, th- first, fees and cost of: pro
ceedings under tho act, and for thi cus
tody of property; secum!, debts doe ihe
Lulled States, and Uixes and assess
ments due under the laws thereof; third,
debts due the Sttite in which ihe- pro
ceed.ngs are had, und saxes and assess
ments under its laws fourth, wages
due to any operative, clerk or house

ruptcy; and fifth, all debts du; t any
person who, Ly the laws of the United
Males (not of any State,) are or may
be entitled to a priority or preference
in like manner as if this act ha 1 n i
been pased. All o her creditors
"whose dtbt are duly proved niA al
lowed fehtill entitled to share ia the
bankrupt's property and estate pro rata
without any prior. ly or preference
whatever." Il will be seen that aside
from the creditors preferred by the
United States aud he claims of a, State
(or taxes and assessments, na pteftr
ence is permitted, except in the esse of
operatives, clerks and house servants,
for wages not exceeding SoO. This is
the supreme law of the land on the
subject cf preferred creditors, iind a
Stale law authorizing or permitting a
different rule is no loueer of any force.

In Michigan, the returns generally
indicate sweeping Republican success

show n steady advance in Republican
strength. Cincinnati elects a Republi

We have most glorieu news from

CONNECTICUT.
The Copperheads are rejoicing over
their first substantial victory since their
battle of "Bull Run." They have prob
ably carried Connecticut, and great re
ioicintr is io the haunts of the Cops
Parties are evenly balanced in lhat
State, though il is true ihe Republicans
have been invariably succestul since
1856; on three occasions by majorities
very small and wonderfully uniform ;
their majority in 1857 being 516. and
both in lb6Uanti lbbb exactly 041-
In lb57 and Ib62 ihey elected but two
out of the four Congressmen. Last
spring the majorities in the Congres
rional districts wero as follow: First
12S Republican; second, 1S37 Demo
cratic; Third 2.125 Republican; Fourth
125 Democratic. These figures alone
show that ihe present result was con
siJered not at all unlikely, (hough it
must be admitted there has been some
considerable defection in the Republican
ranks, since last year. For instance,
the Lieutenant-Governor and Secretary
of State, elected last year by ihe Re
publicans, have gone over on the bread
and butter line, into the opposite camp.
Ihe Collector of Internal Revenue
and Postmaster ai New Haven, who
last year worked for the Republicans,
have actively opposed them in the can
vass just ended so disgracefully to the
iSutineg State. Senator D.xon a.so
worked actively for the defeat of the
Republicans. These defections are
.-asily accounted for, and had much to
do with the untoward result we have
ciiryi icled. but still, the real cause of
;he defeat is the vacillating, compro
mising and temporizing spirit ever ex-inl-ittd
by the Republicans of thai
.Stute.
On this point ihe Chicago Journal
.speaks our sentiments exaiily, when it
ays they have always been the most
timid and conservative in the na.iuu.
The political record of ihe last fif-een
years will show that the line of disti.ic
;ion between ihe two grtrt parties in
ihe nation were always less shnrp'y
defined in Connecticut than any other
State. The consequence was that the
contest was close. Republican victo
ries have been numerous but never
complete. If our friends in that Slate
will now learn the lesson of their pre
i ti.t humiliation it will be better io them
.ir.d to the n.v.V-.a than victory. Hence-
"or'h we shall have, we trust, no com
promising with the enemy. Taking a
bold stand upon the side of justice and
progress is not only tho mosi honorable
but ih most politic course. There is
one good thing ; both branches of the
Legislature are Republican. This w ill
probably secure to the State wise and
honest legislation. Xonjtareit.

the inmates of those houses which are
now the hot-beds of evil, will be sent
to Houses of Correction, and there kept
for life or years, doincr licht. fancv
work, and domestic labor. All the le
galized haunts of crime which stand as
rivals to virtuous homes, wih at least
have a struggle for life. Woman will
not work for half pay, and vice will not
furnish her with the most profitable
employment, and all parties will grow
better and wiser; or the principle ol
self-government is founJed iu error.
JSaTTLe facility wiih whichdivorces
can lie obtained in Indiana ia we
known. The majority of suits for di
vorce in the courts are from people who
come to Indiana for lhat purpose alone;
but of course the laxity of ihn law is
an inducement for many bona fide, cit
izens to dissolve the marriage bond.
In the county of Marion there were
ast year two hundred and twenty three
applications for divorce; of these, one
hundred and eleven were granted, and
twenty six dismissed, ihe remainder
not having been tried. One hundred
and forty-two of the applications were
by females, and eighty one by males.
The proportion of divorces applied for,
to marriage licenses issued, was one to
four, and the proportisn of divorces
granted to marriages made, wan one to
eight. One divorce to overy eight
marrirges certaiuly indicates that con
nubial bliss is fast becoming a rarity,
aud the wisest is he who doesn't '-take
stock" in the matrimonial lo tery.
