PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA. THURSDAY, DEC. 25, 1867 CORRESPONDENCE. We are ueairou tof reeelviog eorri.rBonder.rt; from (11 trt of tbe State, relative to the material later, ests of the country, together with tilth other mu ter e contributors may deem of interest. 'TRUE TO LIFE " Nsby9 account of the meeting of tbe "unterrified" of Kentucky, at the grocery, was only in anticipation of the action of the party, His account has since been verified by the aciion of the Kentucky legislature, where, on the 10th hist , a resolution was offer ed providing for a select committee from each house to report the assessed value of slaves lost by citizem through Executive proclamation; by the acts of Congress and ly the amendment to the Constitution of the United States, known as the thirteenth article; and providing that such committee report vhat step3 are necessary and proper to enable the citizens of the State of Ken tucky to obtain Compensation from, the Federal Government for such slaves. Daes any sensible man tuppose this altfrn.pt to make the general govern ment pay for the los3 of slaves in the rebellion would not be successful under Democratic rule? It was claimed in the Kentucky Legislature, in support of this resolution, that it was clearly a constitutional right that the per pie of Kentucky should receive compensation for slave property taken from them," and the resolution was passed by a voie of 25 yeas to G nays. While the De mocracy of this part of the country wouldahoot at the idea of such a result, (and we doubt not many of them would be honest in their opposition to it at the present time,) there is no disguising the fi.ct that Nasby's picture is 'true to life," and that, should the party get sufficient power at an early day the hopes and desires of ex slave owners would be consummated. The ex-rebel Democracy of the south pould press the matter as a "constitutional right," and the party north, as in times of olJ, dare not refuse them for fear of loosing June. THE REASON. Democratic papers soy negroes are too ignorant to vote; and some few of them say.that is the principal objection they have to giving the ballot to the frees.rr.en. If they are honest in this, wad that is their real objection (wh'ch nobody believes not even themselves,) why do they not favcr measures which are calculated to remove this objection; why do they oppose tbe education of the negroes? About i year ago the Radical city government of Baltimore passed an -ordinance providing1 for the opening of schools for the children of colored parents upon the same basis and subject to the same rules of manage merit as the public schools for tlie chil dren of white parents, and made an appropriation ef S20.000 to carry it inta effect. Under this arrangement a lare number of schools were opened, and progressed finely until a Demo cratic mayor and council had been elected, who repudiated all bills for these schools, and refused to make any ncDronriations for them. This, of course, put a slop to them; and the children of black parents must either grbw up in ignorance under Demo craiic rule, or find some other method of gaining an education. The Democ racy object' to allowing black rn?n to vote because they are ignorant, and object to educating them because they would have no grounds whatever for refusinsthem the ballot. It used to be a criminal offence' to teach a black per son to read or write in the Democratic States of the South. How much .is Baltimore, under Demccra'ic rule, ad vanced from this law. We are informed that the immi gralion from Germany to this country will, next year, be very large. Ten steamers and four sailing packets leave Hamburg and Bremen every month, besides there are packets from Ant werp and Rotterdam.- Large numbers of passengers also sail by way of Lon don ard Liverpool. - The Hamburg packet Laxonia, on her late voysge brought over 703 pas sengers. Nearly all of whom were bound for the west to find homes. It is stated that between now and the .-first of May emigration from Germany to .America will exceed one hundred thousand persons.

The following letter was written by fieorge L, Hilton, correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and gives a fair statement in relation to Nebraska; Omaha, Djc. Ifc67. There is probably nothing that I could suggest to young men better than ih s subject of getting something to do. The young State of Nebraska it in rapid progress, and its resources are being rapidly culled into existence, j Carpenters, maons, brick-layers and all michanics find ready employment from 84 50 to S5 per day. The capital of the State has been removed from Ornaha to Lincoln. This was done only three mor.lhs ago, and the 17th of September a sale of town lots tool: place, in which tbe Uov- ernnient Commissioners realized tbe sum of 80.000, which is to go for build ing the State House and other Siate build ing9. Tbe sales will be resumed in 'he spring and bids fair O build a city or no mean size, so much tor Western enterprise. The State is rapidly filling up, and no less than 100 to 200 families come in daily and settle in this beautiful state, who have en tered a home under the Homestead Law, which provides that every settler can take a tract of eigth acres and im- prove it, within five years of let'.Iement. There is 1,500.000 acres of Govern ment land subject to the Homestead Law. Many men came here with nothing but a team, and are now quite independent. In the Platte Valley through which the Union Pacific Rail road runs, the most marked improve ments have been made; thousand or acres are glowing with the rich products of life; whose mellow soil has for the fust time felt the pressure of the plow. In this fertile valley from fifty to nfiy- four bushels of wheal have been grown on one acre, while the average all over the State, last year, was thirty-three bu;he!s to the acre. Large improved farms can he bought for 85 to per acre. Slock raising is exteusively carried on, and no State or country can beat Nebraska. tor wool-growing Nebraska has no equal on the globe. Here are plenty of good schools the free school system prevails in every district. The climate is mild and pure. Nebraska is well watered, and timber in abundance for building and fencing. Coal mines have also been discovered, which will prove very ben eficial to our young stale. Lincoln is situated in the valley of Salt Creek, fifty miles west of the Missouri River, and about equally dis tant from Omaha and Plattsmouth and Nebraska City, in the center of the most productive agricultural portion of ihe State, with abundance of stone and other material convenient to build; and pure water may be had in abundance at a depth of thirty to forty feet. Also siiua'ed at the junction of the survey of the Burlington & M. R. Railroad, via xi . i , i T r.-.- r -1 road, via Nebraska City, and situated within one mile of the great Salt Ba- f ia, which has proved by actual experi ment lobe the richest surface water in ihe United States. Here will be the Stale University and Agricultural Col lege. There are many young men in our city who are daily seeking some thing to do, who might be out in this beautiful Stale, cultivating a rich farm. having good occupation, while you are every day sensible of your improve ment. Are riches the chief object of your desire? Acquire skill in your profession, and for all articles of con sumption you will find a high and ready market. Would you then leave this land uncultivated as it came from the hand of nature? Omaha affords em ployment for thousands. Lincoln will give to hundreds sustenance. Young men and mechanics, don't be idle. LINCOLN ITEMS. We clip the following items from the Commonwealth of the 21st: Dr. Potter, of Fort Sedgwick arrived in town late last evening. Wood is selling from S4.50 to S5,00 per cord. Hon. Jutin uiiiespie visited our place a few days since and expressed great gratification at the progress of the work on the stale House, and the rapid growth of Lincoln. While here he sloped with his Nephew, Mr. C. C. Cook. We notice as an evidence of the pro' cress and prospects of our city, that Mr. J A. Johnson purchased la-t week of Mr. Guy forty acres of prairie land without any improvements upon the same, t'er the sum of 52,200 dollars, (fifty-five dollars per acre.) The land lies just 3 4 of a mile east of tbe city limits and a little nearer than that distance from tbe site of the new State House. This purchase was made for cash and shows how stran gers lock upon the future of our new Capital. Mr. Johnson employed Mr. II. S Jennings to get the tract surveyed into town lots and platted. This is only one of the many trans actions in real estate, which are con stanily taking place here and we notice it not because wa consider it extraordi nary but merely as one of many instan ces of reil estate exchanges so common here now. The pecple of St. Charle?, Scot land and Moniteau counties have been very much surprised recently by the bursting out from the ground of springs of water in several localities there abouts, notwithstanding severe drought had prevailed since July, and that a river, the Moreau. which had since August presented nothing but a dry river bed, was filling with water, which I was already covering the sand bars I lV.,nM . 1 . . ttn a mAel in exhausted wells. It is one of - those rare and yet unxpbinnblf phenom ena of nature. A HUMOROUS IDEA OF IT. "Mark Twain" says that military history has shown no ucb instance of inspired originality as the attempt of the Fenians to release Bjrke I y blow ing up the prison which held him 'Other people," says Mark, J,would have bribed the jailor, tunneled to the prisoner's cell, hauled him out through a hole in the roof, petitioned Govern ment for his pardon, pent a woman in to swap clothes and change places with the culi rit. Other people, I say, would have essayed one or the other, or all of these methods. But did the Fenians? Not they. They scorned such thread bare devices. They would liberate their friend by some mode that would be worthy of ihe occasion by some invention that should bear about it the sign of a creative genius by some tan tried plaa that should dazzle the sleepy world with its splendid originality. Wherefore they put & barrel of blast ing powder under the prison and tried to blow their friend out of the hated land of England! The idea was good. It was excellent, and ought to have succceeded. There was powder enough to have sent Col. Burke and his bag gage to Dublin, where he would have been safe from their persecution." A terrible railroad disaster oc curred last week near Buffalo. Two cars filled with passengers was thrown off a bridge forty feet high. Of fifty persons in the first car only four are known to have escaped, and many more in the other were killed. Both cars uck fire and one was burned en tirely, consuming a number of passen gers, ine numoer trial perisned will probably not be ascertained foi some time, luidame iuston is among toe injured, iuost or tnose in ine nrt car were burned to ashes, and their screams could be heard for fifteen min utes. The funeral of the unrecognized vic tims of the disaster occurred at the depot in Buffalo, on the 22J. An im mense concourse of people attended. A California paper has informa tion that the central Pacific Railroad will run near the sink of the Humbold. r;ver, for fifteen miles through a peat bed w hich will extend for several miles on each Eide of the track. Intelligence from Dakota informs us that both houses of the Legislature of thai Territory have unanimously passed a bill to strike the word white c .1 L-.lt -c .1 Turritnrj. Hancock has ordered the election in Texas for or against the Convention to commence February 10th, and con tinue four days; each ballot presented by a negro voter to be marked "color ed." No soldiers are allowed in the vicinity of the polls unless registered voters. The loyalists in Washington, both in Congress and out of it, regard the President's message recommending thanks to Hancock for reversing Sheri dan's method of dealing with the rebels as insulting to the commander of the other military districts, and to Thomas and Grant. RepulPcans laugh at the suggestion of the message, and the Democrats feel like treating it cau tiously. When Gen. Robert E. Lee visited Petersburg, Va., last week, a number of the unreconstructed wanted to draw his carriage through the streets, but he declined. "He had never rode after jackasses," says a cynical exchange, "and was afraid to." It i3 mentioned as evidence of the total unfitness of tbe negroes of Vir ginia for self-government, the fact that such men as Rives were beaten by Radicals of the Hunnicut stripe. If we remember rightly, the Democracy of a district in New York defeated Horace Greeley for Congress and elected to that body a gambler and a prize-fighter, John Morrissey. Are they therefore unfit to govern themselves? It was announced at a meeting of the stockholders and directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, held in London on the 3d instant, that the gross average receipts were now about 1,000 a day, or X140 a day more than at this lime last year. So much for re- Uluciag the tolls. The- Observer- says the British Government is using extraordinary precautions against the Fenians, acting with a full knowledge of their secret plans. Th? alarm caused by Fenians is sub siding. . Advices fiorn Japan announce that the ports of Jeddo and Sica are to be thrown open roforeign commerce, Jan -uary 21st. Accounts fromCraete are of a stir ring character. The Turks nt Delis cori fired upon a company of five hun dred women and children, who were about embarking for Greece, kiliiog a Dumber. The Prussian vessels re moved the remainder. GRANT TO THE PRESIDENT. The Speaker has laid before the House a communication from General Grant inclosing ihe correspondence relating to the removal of Mr. Stanton as Secretary of War, and also the re moval of Generals Sheridan and Sick les. Nearly all the correspondence has heretofore been published, but the following is tbe private letter to the President from General Grant, about which so much curiosity has been ex pressed: f Private. 1 Hed Qrs.Armt or tbeU. S. Washikcton, D C, Aug. 11, 1S67. To Hi Excellency, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States: Sir: I take the liberty of address ing you privately on the subject of the conversation we pad this morning, feel'ng as I do the great danger to the welfare of the country should you carry out the designs then expressed; first. on the subject of the displacement of the Secretary of War. His removal cannot be effected against his will with out the consent of the Senate. It was but a short time since that ihe United States Senate was in session, and why not then have asked for his removal, if it ivns decided? It certainly was th intention of the legislative branch of the government to place a Cabinet Min ister beyond the power of Executive removal, and it is pretty well under stood that so far as Cabinet Ministers are affected b the Tenure of Office bill it was intended espicially to protect the Secretary of war, whom the coun try felt great confidence in. Ihe meaning of the law may be explained away by an astute lawyer, kut common sense and the view of loval people will give to it the effect intended by its fratners. Second. On the subject of the re moval of the very aole Commander of the Fiith Military District. Let m ask you to c insider the effect it would have upon the public. He is univer sally and deservedly beloved by the people who sustain d this Government throughout its trial, and feared by hose who would still be enemies of the Government. It fell to the lot of but few men u do as much against any enemy as Gen. Sheridan did during the rebe'lion, and it is within the scope of the ability of but few, in this or any other country, to do what he has. His civil administration has given equal satisfaction. II" has had difficulties to contend with which no other District Commander has encountered. Almost if not quite from the dav he was ap pointed District Commander to ihe pres ent tune, the press has given out that he was to be removed,' that the admin istration was dissatisfied with him. This has emboldened the opponents of the laws of Congress within his com innd to oppose him in every way in iheir power, nnH has rendered neces sary measures whuh otherwise might never have been necessary. In conclu-4i', allow in to cny. n n friend desiring peace aad quiet, and the welfare of the whole country North and South, th.it it is my opinion that ihe loyal people of this country 1 mean those who tupported thj Govern ment during the great rebellion will not quietly submit to see the very man of all others whom they have expressed their confidence in, removed. I would not have taken the liberty of addressing the Executive of the United States thus, but for the conversation on the subject alluded to in this letter, and from a sense of duty, feeling that I know I am right in this matter. With great respect, your obedient servant. U. S. Grant, General. STATE AFFAIRS. Gov. Butler is now in Washington looking after the landed interests of the State. Tha Legislature at its last session, by resolution, especially con fided to his care, the matter of the five per centum on the net receipts of the General Government from the sale of ianda within our limits. Our readers will remember that this is the amount donated to the School fund of our State by the Enabling au. It will make a fine nucleus for the royal endowment that will eventually be available to our people for the education of their chil dren. There is another matter that needs looking after. The General Govern ment has established the precedent of donating the Swamp Lands to the new Stales as theyjire admited for specific purposes. We hope ihat ere the win ter passes, a bill will be put through Congress by our Delegation doing the same thing for Nebraska. Now is ihe accepted time. Evety year of delay will fearfully reduce ihe amount that would be realized by the State by such a donation. The Governor should have the power to appoint agpnts to locate the Swamp Lands for the State as soon as the spring opens. We trust thai the matter will be attended to and knowing the fTicieney of our Senators and Representative, we doubt not thai it will receive their earnest attention. Commonwealth.

The undersigned, constituting the National Committee designated by ihe convention held nt Baltimore on the 7th of June, 1S64, do appoint that a nation al convention of ihe Union Republican party be held at the city of Chicago, Illinois, on -Wednesday, the 20th day of May next, at 12 o'clock M., for the purpose of nominating candidates for ihe offices of President and Vice Pres ident of the United Stales, Each State of the United Stales is authorized to be represented in said convention by a number of delegates equal to twice the number of Senators and Representa tives to which such State is entitled in the national Congress. We invite the co-operation of all cit izens who rejoice that our civil war has happily terminated in the discomfiture of rebellion; who would hl 1 fstlhe unity and integrity of the R il.iic, and maintain its paramount right to defend to the utmost its own existence, wheth er imperilled by secret conspiracy or armed force; who are in favor of an economical administration of public ex penditures, of the complete extirpation of the principles and policy of slavery, and of the speedy reorganization of those States whose governments were destroyed by the rebellion, and their permanent restoration to their proper practical relations to the United States in accordance with the true prinoiples of republican government.

It is said that A. J. will issue a proclamation, or a message, or a veto, or something else to the effect that he will not be a candidate for the Presi dency in '63. What a pity! Can't some one prevent him doing this thing rashly? Probably he has not cousider cd what harm he may do the country by such refusal, or bow many buckets F-dl of tears he may cause to be shed by hs countrymen. Recently an unbroken circuit was made, and messages sent -without re peating between Houston. Texas and Salt Lnke City, via New York. The Houston operator sent: "Houston sends greeting to Salt Lake. We mi wiih coais off and windows open." Salt Lake promptly reply d: "Weather beautiful here but have a snow storm in Montina. Brighain Young has just married another heifer." Houston re p'ied: "don't touch the brass in your key or you will get the yellow fever." After this Helfna, Montana was "pui on." and conversed a few moments. The circuit worked over the following route: Houston, New Orlean?, Mobile, Knoxvil'e, Washington, New York. Chicago and Salt Lake. Had the San Francisco operator notabeen out of the office, he would have been drawn into the circuit, and the length extended a ihousai d miles more. This is a rather remarkable performance, since Hous ton is 1 800 milesfrom New York, which is also 2 43') miles from Salt Lake City. The weather was very favorable and the wires in good condi tion. A London correspondent vbf the Chicago Journal says: s cpeaKing aoout newspapers, ar.uir an illustration or ine extent or me re nian interest throughout England, you will be surprised to learn ihat no less thin ihre tons of the Irishman, a Dub lin papea in" the Fen-ian interest, are daily sent into E.i'land by the Holy head steamer. Som inquisitive genius has computed the aggregate number of each shipment and, allowing that each copy in its damp state weighs more than when dry, when its weight is one and a half ounces, he finds that the daily circulation of the Fenian organ in England alone is 70,000 copies. This certainly accounts to- some extent for the existence of ihe Fenian sentiment in the most unexpected parts of the country." ffiT"Always send your little child to bed happy. Whaiever cares mny trouble your mind, gire the dear child a warm good -night kiss as it goes to its pillow. The memory of this in the stormy years which may be in store for the little one will be like Bethlehem's star to the bewildered shepherd; and swelling up in the heart will rise the thought: 4,My father, my mother loved me!" Lips parched with fevei will become dewey aga n at ibis thrill of youthful memories. Kiss your little child before it goes to sleep. Ex. The accessions to the membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church last year were nearly 103.000. and this year the number is 113 000, 10.000 more than the previous one. The gains of the two years amount to more thn 215;000, over 23 per cent, of the total membership reported in 1&65, or nearly cne fourth the whole member ship in two years. The increase of churches and parsonages is 982, or at the rate of nearly three per working day for the year. PLATTSMOUTH MARKETS. Corrected by Simpson, Mickel wait &Co Wheat No change in tbe market.
