CORRESPONDENCE.

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

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. .

the ports of Jeddo and Sica are to be

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.

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."
