tho merchant? f that ci:y against tho
IIehald and prevent their advenLlng
through iu columns. Our o.ll-nsQ in
ihis matter consist in critici.ing- the
tatem?n:s of the Xexs tint, the B. cc
M. R. R. was coining to Nebraska City
end that the Chicr-gJ and Northwestern
would make its Missouri river terminus
at that point. We have 1 ver manifest
ed a feeling of friendship for the ma
terial iiitrceii of Nebraska City when
they did net directly conflict with those
cf our own low::; but it is a fact patent
t-3 every reader of the J'cws that
that journal has persistently foughi
every r.Kature that was calculated to
benefit Piatt:niouih, both in the political
and financial field. It ued its uttucst
exertioni to interfere with the land
grant of the B. &. M. R. R. with thr
expectation that the e.injany would
thro .v up th'j grant if hcy wera res
tricted to a certain e.xttr.t, and that Ne
braska City would then stand a better
ihance of getting the road. New we
want it tiu'.inctly understood th-t when
ever the -ZVeu-s or any other journal at
tacks tha interests of this locality that
we shall defend them; lut when we can
do it in no better makn- r than by try
ing to prevent people a lvntuing iu the
.Yews vd shall conclude we are pretty
law do an in t!.o scale, and quit the bus
iness. 'While we respect the rights cf
Nebraska City, we at the sama time
believe that there are other places in
the State, and one of them is located
about two miles below tha mouth cf ih
Platte river. We believe Nebraska
City will havo a railroad, and ws hope
she will; but we telieve it will be
another than the B. Si M R R or the
Chicago aud N. W.; and if the JSTtvrs
expects to ever accomplish anything for
Nebraska city, it would do well utake
tome ether tack than trying to prevent
the construction of a road through thi
part of the country. We do think that
rarpr extremely sillv in continually
- -
harping about the B. 5c M. R R. corning
there, or asserting that tho C. N. W.
will cane there, and many cf its read
era are of the same opinion, anti if that
ii slanJering" Nebraska City we
plead guilty. If the .Yews would dis
play its powers in R. R. mat er, let it
work ns persistently for the building of
the Stata Line road, and the building
of a road frcm Atchison to the Piatte
river, along the west bank of the Mis
souri, as it has against the B. M.
R. R. It will be of far more benefit
to Nebraska City and to the whole
State.

The Liltle Rebel is tenacious of life,
and kicks and Ibu-vh-n about, regard
less of the many unbecoming antic9 i.
performs. One day it acknowledges a
defeat, and abusos those who have kept
life in it, because thpy were unable to
give it a richer teat; and tha next day
it rears and plunges fearfully and charg
es illegal voting upoa individuals pro
miscuously without regard to conse
quences. It charges Mr. Elootner ar.d
John Wuhl with being illegal voter,
notwithstanding both of them are said
to hare votod for the men that it says
would be elected if tImo votes wire
thrown cut. It flounders on in its ago
ny end charges Mr. Ljl-J wi-h being
v.a illegal voter, when it wa wtll
known by the Democratic judges cf
e'eeti ui that he came here in Septem
ber last; and it even goes bo far as to
hope Mr. Crow will t11 cut Lis prop
erty here. We reru.ne this last t-x-pressioti
mul arise frcm a desire to get
Mr. Crow oot of the country because
he dared to decide that a negro was a
legal voter. Ravo on, Little Rebel.
Abuse the men who voted your ticket,
and call your party friends "fools" be
cause they were unable to give you the
necessary food to keep life in your
carcas. But when you "give away"
that Irick house, bo sure that you have
a milk bucket bafore you strike fcr the
Canada line, for they are having Fen
ian excitements op that way.
AXOTIIEXi RADICAL. VICTOIiY.
By a private dispatch from Omaha,
we learn that the city of Belltvue, in
the old Democratic stronghold of Sarpy
county, has gone Republican.
g5 It is now said positively that
no consolidation between the Illinois
Central, and the Dubuque & Sioux City
Railroads will be effected for the present.

The bill to extend to the State cf

COOL..
Tuo Nebraska City .Vcici gives quite
a list of Railroads that are expected to
come to that place, and among thcrn it
dashes the B. &. M. U. II. If tha oth
er roads stand the sam: ohance of go
ing to Nebraska City ihat this one does,
and no better, we are afraid the peo
ple of that city will Lave to travtl many
miles to eve-r Lear the whistle of the
locomotive. The .Yews cla:m3 that
their city ii to be the Missouri river ter
minus of the Chicago Sc. North western
road. We have all along known that
it waa hard up for Railroad arguments,
l ut did not suppose it reduced so low
as to attempt to insult the intelligence
of the people with such stuff".
WIL.L. TilEl ?
It is an undisputed fact that it re
quires the ant of ov.9 or both the
Nebraska Senators to have an appoint
Mi?nt for Nebr.i.-ka coi firmtd by the
Senate. Will th?y give that assent to
sonis of the recent nppointments ?
II-? re is what the Nebraska City JVetrs
says of one of them :
Gen. Silas A. Strickland is said to
havo been made U. S. District Attorney
for Nebraska. Silas is an oid stager
mi the frontier; a I risk gentleman and
worthy of aln.ost any position in the
oouatry. We have known hira long
and well, and as a member of the gal-
lunt Sarpy county Democracy, always
esteemed him highly. He ftill remains
true to the principles of that party.
ALL FOOLS.
The Little Rebel is very bitter on its
party friends and calls the Democracy
of Plmumouih. "fools' It is profuse
n its epithets against the party becaus
they couM not carry the City election,
and denounces in the bitterest manner,
.very ono who saw fit to vote for a
Republican. We object to this, and
feel disposed to take the part of the
Democracy to some extent when their
own organ turns ia to abusing them
without cuu?e. It is a fact which no
op.e can dispute that the two Democrats
who w ?re elected occupy their positions
by virtue of Republican votes; and yet
the organ cf their party abuses the De
mocracy, calls them "fools" because the
icket was defeated. There were some
Dcmocra'3 who scratched the ticket,
and so did many Republicans; but we
believe that the average majority for
our ticket shows very nearly the party
strength. We do not blame the Dem
ocratic organ for feeling bad over the
result, but it was the fault of the prin
ciple cf the party .ot of ihe individuals
composing the party; an I if it had an j
atom of common seme it would not j
abuse its own supporters for a result
that was inevitable.

A treaty with Russia is in procei-:
of negotiation, which will give to the
Unittd States the entire Russian Amer
ican Possession. There appears to be
some hesitancy on the part of the Rus
sian Minuter. He told Seward in per
son that he had been directed r.ct to
.ign the treaty. Seward offered a
quarter cf a million more if he would
send a dispatch to the Emperor to ac
cept the proposition.
The price to be paid is $7,2-50,000.

an to the pole, south through Bearings'
Straits to the western islauds. The
fisheries on the Atlantic coasts and the
fur regions will be greatly enhanced in
value, ar.d no trouble is anticipated

Seward says it enly requires half
thai McCuiloeh saved last month to pay
for the whole territory.
The New York Times says Seward
is delighted with the Russian treaty,
but there is not much pro?pect of its
ratification that requiring a two-thirds

With an eye upon ihe Union Pacific,
the Northwestern, Council BlutT ai.d
Si. Joseph, the, Chicago ind Pacific, the
Minnesota and; Nebraska, the South
western and GalveMon, the Montana
Branch, and other act lal and projected
railroads that point to and from the fu
ture chief ciiy of the Mis-ouri Valley,
we do not lose sight of the Burlington
and Missouri. This road is rapidly
npproachiag the latgreat water-coursp
of the continent to meet others that are
coming wio equal pa e. Its interests
growinsr out of the Land Grant lie to
the Southward, and tha fufre main
line will probably strike the Salt CreeU"
Valley, and go over to the Blue River
Vallej, thenc-: to tho Republican Val
ley, and so along westward!, as the
interests of the Company may direct.
We clip the above from the 0;naha
Her lid. It is the first item in regard
to this road th;-t has come to our notice
which has not claimed the road for
some other point than its original liiip.
Council Ulutis and XN'-oraska City pa
pers have invariably claimed that the
road was heading for their respective
towns; but the; Herald evidently see
the truth of the matter, and admits that
the road is to be built on the
original
line, from Plsttsmou h westward
SOUTH XEtlKASK.t."
Some one writing trcm tuis city to
the St. Louis Democrat, and signing
him-elf "South Nebraska," treats upon
a subject of vast importance to thepeo
pie of this State, which is nothing ltss
than the building of a Railroad from
Atchison, Kansas, a! mg the west banli
of the Missouri 10 the Platte river,
crossing that stream and tapping the
Union Pacific. The plan is plau.ible,
and one in which the city of St. Louis
should be equally interested, at least,
with the people of Nebraska. We ex
tract the following :
There is already completed a road
to Leavenworih, and I understand that
there is a roac iu the course of con
s. ruction from Leavenworth to Atchison,
leaving only a distan.e of some 10'J
miles to bs bu-!t. Thn road wiil run
through a thickly settled and highly
cultivated section of country. There
is not a county! through which it would
pass frcm Atchison t. this place, but is
ible to build the road through its ex-
i.t; and in my opinion, subscriptions
cf stock could be obtained by (counties
and indivduals) along the line, sufficient
to build the to.-d All feel the neces
sity of such a conneciirn, and are wil
ling to contribute their fbare, but there
is no person or corporation of sufucient
influence t concentrate our energies
mid means into the necessary channel.
Will St. Louis utep f irward and initi
ate the proper ijneasures to accomplish
the work.
From ix Georgia Unionist.
A true Union man who has been
through fire and blood in behalf of the
Union cause in Gi-oigia, writes from
Savannah, to a; friend as follows:
"Tha conditi on of society here is bad.
With one exceptiou there is not a sin
gle Union man in official position in
the State. The only qus.ion asked
relative to the fitness of a candidate is,
'Has he been ;n the Confederate ser
vice?' If he his his election is sure,
and the more bitter and rampant hn if,
the larger the vote. Complaints come
here frum other counties of great cru
elties practiced upon Union men of
tying, beating and killing. These out
rages are the work of self-styled 'regu
lators,' and the bandit are o numerous
and powerful that the sufferers have
no redress. Only a few days ago, a
squad of soldiers was tent from here
into the inierior counties to protect the
people from th; taml of murderers.
Tnali in the courts in criminal cases
are in most itittanct , farces. Four
murder cases hava just been tried and
the prisoners were ncquitted. The
proof was clear, the crimes were hor
rible, but the i iurderers were Rebels,
and were f course acquitted. Freed
n.en and Yankees do not fare as well
when they get into the courts. The
churches here are all rebel, and so is
nearly the entire press. If I were
military commandant cf this District,
my first official act would be to suppress
every disloyol shett within my juris
diction. After that I would suppress
the Rebels themselves."
B. &. M. R. R TheiUon. Chief

his corps of Engineers proceeded to
examine the route between Glenwood

have come to we have not learr.ed.
We expect to hear from them soon, as
every indication goes to prove that
work will be vom nenced at this end of
the road at an early day. Opinion.

Cass Coustt, Neb., March 15.
T 0 the Editor of the Chicago Tribune :
Thinking that your readtrs would
like to leurn something about this por
tion of the State of Nebraska, I pro
pose, in a few short Ur.ess, to give such
information, based upon facts and ob
servations as are famiiiiar to every or
dinary fanner in this portion of the
Slate. Permit me in tha outset, 10
state a fact which inty not be generally
known, and which emigrants frequent
ly find out only when it is too late to
avert loss and disappointment.
The Platte River divides Nebraska
into two sections, which seem to be as
distinct as though they were two dis
tinct nationalities. Almost two-thirds
of the territory lies north of the Piatte,
but from various causes two-thirds of
the populati: n are on the south side.
Ever since the settlement of the Terri
tory there has been a sectional jealousy
existing between the two sections. The
address and speculating talents of
Omaha men succeeded in securing the
location at that place of the speculative
pv'rtion of the community, while the
steady farmers who immigrated to the
Territory, having an eye only to agri
cultural pursuits, set'Ud the country
south of the Platte. There wih doubt
less be a heavy immigration to Nebras
ka the coming sea. on, and having no
ticed, during a residence of eight years,
a great deal of dissatis'aciion, arising
from ihe fact that men frequently go to
the wrong place for what will suit
one man will not in all cases suit anoth
er my object in writing this and the
succef-ding letters will be to give such
information as will perhapsjpi event the
disappointment of immigrants.
It a farmer is seeking a home in
which to pursue his calling, he will
naturally select a a location where
farming has proved a success. I pro-
po-e in this 10 give a few facts, com
piled from the report of (he Territorial
Auditor, to the last Legislature, the ex
animation of which, I think, will enable
persons to easily decide which part of
the State is best suited to the business
they desire to pursue. From thts re
port it appears that there have been
entered :
Acres.

South Tlatte

Excess 2,23:.'
The reason why there is such a dis
parity between the population and the
number of acres of land entered is.
that during the year 1j7 and ISoS,
large bodies of land were entered in
tlie Oinr ha District b such specula
tors as Shorter, of Alabama, (who is
reported to have ,,0,( 00 acrs in one
body, and W. R. II. Cobb, of the same
State.) Thes tracts of land remain
yet unoccupied, being held at such
prices as settlers cannot afford to give.
The assessment of taxes for lSbo
show the value of property to be :
South Platte 9,943,083

DiffVrence Sl.9G0.22S
There would be a much greater dif
ference were it not for ihe fact that
our revenue laws are framed with a
view to getting as; much tax as possible
from the non-resident land owners,
such as Messrs. Shorter and Cobb
cultivated latios not being rated but lit
tle if any higher than raw prairie. By
that means Mr. Shorter pays about as
much tax on his 30.000 acres of raw
atid as on the same number of well
cultivated acres in Cass or other coun
ties ou:h of the P.'atte
By reference toth Auditor's Report
it wiil be seen that there is:

The above items are sufficient to
show the difference in stock. The val
ue of farm buildings, uten-ih, etc., are
in about the same proport .. as I will
undertake to show, by gooe. authority,
that there is fuliy as great disparity in
farm produce.
In writing the above, I am aetuated
by no personal motive, not having a
single acre which I desire to sell, but
knowing that interested parties, such
as towns, railroad companies and large
land owners, freque ntly send runners
or drummers in all directions, who mis
represent all sections but the one ty
uhich they are employed. My advice
to all persons who design emitrra-iiicT
to his State is to look carefully for
yourselves, toth nor'h and south, and
selt-ct tha section which in your judge-
mpnt is best suited to the
luin;s you
design following.
Having resided iu the vicinity of
Pla:t?m-uih, Cnss county, near eight
years, I can speak wi-h confidence con
cerning the climate, soil an.1 products
of that county and of Lancaster, Saun
ders. Seward and Butler as well. I
do not hesitate to say that thi country
ii healthy. The fertility of the mjiI
may be juc'god from tho fact that dur
ing these eight yars there hns no!
been n single season in which large
(juant ties of corn and wheat have not
been exported. I do nor wish to be
understood as saying anything against
the oher counties, but in this I desire
to speak only what I know. A people
ar. frequency judged by ike manner
in which their public finances are man
aged. Cass coun y warrants are at par,
and there is a surplus in the Tfeasury.
Taxes will le about five mills to the
dollar. Of society, cropj. exports, cli
mate, etc., I will treat at greater length
in my next. " '
