are in favor c-f a law restraining hogs

Tli3 mo. t vronderfu! effect cf the ab
olition of slavery ytt brought to light
has been given to the publia by the
New York Day-Book, as follows:
The civilization of tha South is fast
wearing away under Abolition rule.
Th3 teiegraph cooly informs that the
greater part of Louisiana is overflawed.'
Crevasse after crevasie has occurred,
until tha most ferule part of th3 State
has been desolated. For tbrae years
in succession has this taken place,
and every year it will no doubt
grow worse, until the people will
bo compelled to abandon the country.
All this devastation is ovrinij ta the ab
clitian of so called slavery."
This ma:t forever settle the question
cf shv6ry beinj a "divine institution."
When tho v. iiidows of Heaven are
opened for the purpose of rai.-iag the
sirea;ns bo as to wash away the levees
along the Missirsippi a3 a judgement
upon the peoplo for freeing the tlave,
who can doubt the divinity of the afore
mentioned insituticn." Will the
peopla of tho United S::.tes heed the
warning of the elements at.d the Day
Book, and return '.ha negro to his bend
cge before it is too late before the
"June rise?" But why m the name of
common sense did not the Day Book or
some other inspired Democratic jour
nal tell us "three years" ago that those
levees would ba washed away and the
csuntry devastated unless the negro
was returned to slavery? Wa3 the late
rise in the Missouri attributable to the
same cause the abolition of slavery
and if so, why did not the Omaha Ilai
alJ, or the Nebraska City JVeirs warn
the pec pie in time to save the vast
amount of cord wood and fencing that
has been washed away.

ROCK. ElOTTOM.
It is the prevailing opinion that there
is a cond rock bottom to ths Missouri
river eppjsite this city, yet we lack a
thorough and convincing demonstration
of it. No person doubts but it woul
materially advance our railroad pros
pects to be ab!a to show conclusively
that such was the fact, and we propose
that it be dene. We ara credibly in
formed that rock is known to exist
few feet below the river bed nt lea
half way across, oppo.Mte Rocky Poiu
and we doubt not it can be found on the
opposite tide by tho expenditure of a
small sum of money. Should rock be
found at a reasonable depth on the
Iowa shore, it would insure the build
ir.g cf a railroad bridge at this point
as it will be a difficult matter to ever
construct a permanent bridge without a
rock foundation, and wo know of no
point on the upper Missouri with so fair
a prospect for a practical reck bottom
as we have at Piattsmouth. Will the
citizens and property owners of Piatt?
mouth take steps to demonstrate thi
matter? It can be done fcr a compar
alively small sum cf n:or.oy probably
fifty dollars.

A telegram was received at military
headquarters in Omaha, on tho 3d

Indians, who succeeded in capturing
the mules and wagou. One f the sol

It appears that seme of tha intelligent
Democrats cf Nebraska City are in
clitiei to break the chains with which
Morton has bounJ them for a term of
years, and assert ihir rights as free
citiztn?. Sterling, trusting in hu
power to control iho party as formerly
attempts ta drive the factious spirits
and force them to succumb to bis de
sires. A convention was called a few
days since to work "in the interests of
Morten and inhumanity;" whereupon a
large number of citizens both Dera
ocrati and Republicans ccmolude to
assert their right and call a convention
"irrespective of party," forthe purp.se
of nominating the "best men" for the
different city offices. Morton treats
this as a high crime and uiisdemeancr,
for any ono daiming to be a Democrat
o refuse to . follow his Bidding, and
comes down l.ko a "ihousand of brick"
jn his supposed subjects. He is trying
the regular party argument the lash
upon them. Wriil it succeed again ?
AS HO.LSTDE3iOCKAT.
In conversation with a citizen of this
city this morning a Democrat he
acknowledged that one of the principal
elements of strength in their parly con
sisted ia iha i fact H7uf 'a.1urg2 nrrnibei'
ot their voters nei her attended church
or read tha newspapers, consequently
there was no probability of their ever
voting a Republican ticket. While we
have little hope for the class of men he
referred to, we have some for him, in
consequence of his honesty.
thi: ESC A SOX.
Many reasons have teen suggested
whv ha Dornccracv were in sucn a
s j
hopeless minority; but we believe Nas
by gives tho moa pldUMb'e om when
he says the amount and quplr.y cf the
whiskey required to make and hold a
Democrat kills them off before ihey
get to vote many time.
We call the attention of our citizens
to the Ordinance in anothci column rel
ative to hogs within the city limits. We
are glad that the nuisance of hogs run
ning at large in the city is about to be
abated. A city is not the proper place
to engage in pork raising as a business,
and every family can keep one cr two
pigs in an enclosure if they desire to
keep them at all. Wo say hurrah far
the hog law!
THIS WAY, GEXTLESICX!
Wo learn that a large number cf
emigrants are in the vicinity of Coun
cil Bluffs, unable to get westward on
the north side of riatte river. We say
to them, "this way. ' The road is in
good condition across the river bottom
opposite this city; the steam ferry is
running regularly; cur merchants have
any quantity of outfitting goods which
can be had very cheap, and above all,
the road from here west is always in
good order, and is much the shortest of
any road leading to the mountains.
Come along.you westward bound men.
Don't lay still awaiting a drouth to
make the road passable on the north
side; but Litch up your teams and drive
down here, where you can always find
a good road, pood ferry and accommo
dating merchants. Will the friends of
uniortunale emigrants in and about the
Bluffs please to inform those desiring
o go westward that they can find a
Tood road dawn here ?
Take Hie Figures
The way to ai-errum tli productive
ness of any Siatj is to take the yield of
the whole Stite,: and n it t;ik any par
ticular farm or reighberhood. We re
fer those des-innT correct inform :i.m
in regard io the proJiu-tn-enesa of Ne
braska soil to th;) olfici ll monthly re
ports of the Agncu.iur il Dpartmnt.
where i: will bo seen taa: the yield jf
wheat in Nebraska was about thirty
percent greater last year, than any
of the eastern S:a'e.;; and our yield of
oats was thirteen per cent, above ihat
of any other St i te in the Union, and
the yield of barley sixteen per cent,
greater than that of nny othpr St ite in
the Union. These itro not our figures,
but those given by the Hon. I-aac
Newton; and we command them to the
consideration of eastern people who are
grubbing amon the beech roots.
Another item of interest m this con
nection is that Nelrtiskt wheat has
ranged from two to ten cen. higher in
the market than that from any otli.-r
State, in consequence of its Mjperior
quality. We h-'ive no stumps or root
to contend with, and in tha productive
counties of Saunders, LnncaMor and
others west of u, the farmer does not
require even a fence the herding oys

JfrSF Hon. John Ta'.i'e and Senator

We clip the Move from tho Omaha

of the concern. It intimates that Hons.

We have several times been asked
where we had aeen au account of the
confirmation o this gentleman's ap
poiniment, at.d: haie-ourself asked the
same question cf others. No one
a
eeetned posilivo in regard to the mat
ter. The roliowiug Hem rrcm me
Cincinnati Commercial of April 21ih,
settles the question :
"General S. A. Strickland, having
received his commission, was yesterday
sworn in a3 urmen sutes uisirici ai
torney for the State of Nebraska, hy
Judsro II. II. Jieavitt.
It has been claimed by tha Demo
cratio papers cf Nebraska that Gen
Strickland wai ideniifid with their
party, and wotld act with them; while
the rress, of .TebraAa Ciiy, says it
speaks by authority, and ays Gen.
Strickland is a thorough radical, and
will act unflinchingly with the radical
oartv in Nebraska. The Press does
BoTmktf"asfe'fi3ns cf fci Itind asaa-
dom, and we take it for granted ihat it
speaks by the card.
The recent high waters almost en
tirely privtnved communication be
tween Nebraska atd Iowa, and it is
impossible to cross the bottom with
wagons in many places even naw; but we
are happy to ste thtit the road frum
this point across to tha tluffs is in ttood
order, and ihe first class steam ferry
Paul Wilcnx is making regu ar
trips. Emigrants diring to proceed
west will mik'l' a nc-ie of this, also
that there are no j-lrearns to cross west
of this place. Numbers tf wagons are

Tho plan of making eight hours a
egal days werk is becoming (juita gen
eral throughout the east. The law
goes into effect in Chicago to-day and
preparations hive been made for a
grand display and prccessitn. The
motto cf tho workingmen is eight hours
abcr and nine hours pay. Most of
the railroads have notified their em
polyees that thc-y wilt be paid by the
lour. Many of the large employing
firms declare that the laborers mui
work as long i t required, and will not
pay full wager for eight hours work.
The prospect is that there will be se
rious disarrangements in relation to
trade for sonw time Some wot king
men insist on having the old rates for
reduced time, and the employers al
most unauimou.-Iy refuse to pay as
much as befor-o. The result is awaited
with much anxiety on all sides not
only in Ililnris, bin cthor State?.

On the 10:h uit.. four of them, in
cludinjr two called Tuck.-r und "Ar-

twenty-three miles distant, carrying
blankets, with them. Doling the
iitternoon they started on a "cut-off"
trail, by which they expected to save
some six miles. The si.ow was very
d- ep and crusted, but not sulliciently
to to bear up their weight, and the
Xalicuo was so great thai when within
a mile and a haif of Ditto City. ih y
became completely exhausted and laid
down on the snow t?die. This was
before sunset, and all were more or

where they had at first stopped,' and
took tha entire party to Rocker. They
were horribly frozen, and their story
of lying there helplcs, while fiom the
mining camp, scarc-ly two miles Jistan',
came the sound of voices, tha echoes
of axes and the careless laugh: while
the firelights of the village taunted
them in their misery, as they lay there
lowly freezing to death in the snow
and merciless storm, and tha darkness,
"uncared for unknown,' is described
as heart-rending. Tucker i- frozen
black to the thighs; Arkansaiv's ritrlit
leg to the thigh and his left to the ki; e.
The other two are frozen nearly to the
knees, andTt is believed iLy will all

John S. Higgins started from Hot
Springs for this place on the 15. h. He
also was advised to take a cut off, which
he did. In crossing some of the
branches of Slade's gulch, his boots
were filled with water and his feet
were frozen solid. To add to his mis
ery. he became confused and lost his
way. , Night came on and he was
alone on tt.e mountain, lost in the snow,
his feet hanging to h m like masses of

Early attention is called to the con

EThe pirate Semmes recently
lectured in Memphis on ihe 'Alabama,'
of which vessel it is well known, he
was the commander when Winslow
Mink her off thi coast of France. In
the course c f hi lecture he referred in
glowing terms to the "gloricu Demo
cratic victory in Connecticut a few days
auo. Straws show which way ihe
wind blows, and that is a big ttraw
anion? Ion cf others. It is perfectly
corrtct that a rebel pirate fhould exult
over Democratic victoriej. He knows
what they mean. They are simply
victories of the left wing cf the rebel
lion. f-ir The Richmond fFifir advocates
an alliance with the II publican party
of the North. It fays that party has
never deceived the South, because it
nevtr premised them anything until
now. It Fays the Republicans can give
the South self-government if they will,
and have promised to do sc; while the
Democratic prly I133 not the pow?r to
fulfil such a promise. It believes that
if the South allies itself with the latter
party, it will find itself in a hopeloss
conflict with ihe Republicans, the re
suit of which will bo permanent dis
franchi-ement, enfiscation, and the
formation cf a most stringent State
Government by Congress.

nf Alabama, the Executive Committee
of the Union Republican organization
6y, touching universal suffrage :
"We express a confidence in the ex
periment of universal suffrage. In
truth, it can scarcely be said to be an
experiment, ?or it ex'sls in the idea
that all men who are bound to Govern
ment and responsible theteto. shall
participate in the political dispensations
thereof. Education murt follow the
exercise of political rights it would
pel haps not b given without that ex
ercise and these advantages' being
blessings, must benefit the whole body
politic." FSF There are a few Southern
leaders that proposed to cppeal from
Congress and the President to the Su
preme Court, asrainet reconstruciun.
That will be useless, indeed, it will be
worse for them. So the people of the
South generally understand it, and they
propose to accept the situation, and such
will be the course of the great body of
the people of that section.
