THE IVETF TEAR.
As ;t is a time-honored cutloni to
vib all mankind a "Happy New
Yew Year,"anJ to start out with high
er and nobler resolves for the fu'.ure,
wiih a determination to press on with
renewed energy towards the goal of
cur ambition, with a steadfast purpose
to do better and be better than in limes
past, it may not be amiss for us to say
a word to our readers. After wishing
all our patrons (and their name is le
gion and their abode the ends of the
earth) a "Happy New Year," we
would have them go back with us to
the lOih day of April, 1665, the day
which gave birth to the Nebraska
Herald. Upon that day we issued
the first nun.ber of this paper, and had
the names of only thirteen subscribers,
but we had commenced the publication
of a paper in this city with a firm re
solve to day here, and to make a pa
per that would be a necessity at every
fireside in the country. Since that, to
us, memanabla 10th of April, we
have labored dilligenlly to accomplish
the reiolve then formed. We have
endeavored faithfully to record all pas
sing events, and have offered such sug
gestions upon local nnd political ques
tions as we deemed for the benefit of
the people. Wheaiher we are any
rearer the accomplishment of our pur
pose than we were upon the l0;h of
April, 1S65, we leave for others to fay;
but whether we are or not, we are in
no manner discouraged in the under
taking, and proposo to start out with
the year 1S63 with that renewed ener
gy with which all mankind h inspired
upon the ushering in of a new year;
and we hope ere another New Years
day dawns upon the pa'.rons of the
IIeriild to be able to present them
with a much belter paper than on the
prseent occasion. Let our frienJs
throughout the county assist us, and
we will guarantee a return to them in
the usefulness of the Herald for the
general go:d.
i E.V. OKD REMOVED.
A Washington dispatch of the 2S'.h

ABOUT NEBRASKA.
A few Questions Answered.
We have always made it a point,
since we have been engaged in pub
lishing a newspaper in Nebraska, to
give as many facts in relation to the
country as possible. It is difficult for
r. resident here to answer the ques
lions of a correspondent in such manner
as to give him an entirely correct idea
of things, as it is necessary that the per
son seeking information on certain
points should thoroughly understand
all the surroundings before he can
fuily comprehend the advantages which
this country possetses over any of the
eastern States; and to give a complete
history of all the things which go to
make up these advantages would re
quire more space than we can give in
one or half a dozen issues of the Her
ald. We have been handed a letter
from a gentleman in Indiana, which
contains the following questions; and
we will endeavor to answer them fairly
and honestly. The writer says: "I
have about made up my mind to emi
grate to the west, believing it better
for a young man than in the more
densely populated State of Indiana;
and having weighed the advantages
and disadvantages of the change, I am
desirous of knowing n:ore of the coun
try than I do," He then proceeds to
ask the following questions:
1st. Is there any land to be home
steaded? 2d. What can wild land be purchas
ed for per acre?
3d. What can, say CO, SO, 120 or
160 acres of improved land be bought
for?
4th. What can a farm in good fix, of
a l'ke number of acn s, with good
builbiogs, be bought a:?
5ih. Is there any timbered land that
could be bought?
6th. What are ihe general products
of the country, and what kind of mar
kets for the same, nnd what facilities
are there for shipping; also, where do
you hip your surplus product.-?
7th. What are good horses or mares
worth; abo, cattle, sheep and hogs?
8th. What kind of business would be
paying to engage in out there on, say,
a capital of 2,000 or $2,500?
9.h. What kind of wild game is out
there, and how far do you have to go
for h?
We will endeavor to answer the
above questions fairiy and honestly,
that others than the person who pio
pounded them may obtain the same
knowledge which he seeks.
1st. There is plenty of Hud to be
hoinesteaded. There is none, proba
bly, within ten or twelve miles of the
Missouri river, but after you get back
that distance, and from that to thirty
miles, there i3 any amount of as fine
land as can be found in the State, sub
ject to b hoinesteaded, and that por
tion of the cou.ury is settling up very
rapidly.
2d." Wild land that is, lands upon
which there are no improvements, but
otherwise equal to the best can be
purchased at from SI 25 to 85 per
acre, according to location and sur
roundings. We know of good unim
proved laud within fire to seven miles
of this city which can be had for S3 to
So per acre, although other pieces, of
no better quality, are held'at $S and
S10.
3d. Improved land can, in many
cases.be bought for a trifle more than
wild land. The price, of course, varies
according to the location and amount of
improvements; but we are safe in pla
cing what is evidently meant by these
inquiries as improved land, at from $5
to Sl-3 per acre.' A few years ago,
land of this character ceuld be bought
for $2 to SI per acre, but.the rapidity
with which the country is settling up
is causing the price of land, both im
proved and unimproved, to advance al
most every day.
4'.h. Good well ordered farms, with
lands according to locality and extent
of improvements. We might place
such at from 15 to S25 or 30 per acre,
and some fine places, near this or other
oities, at much larger figures lhan lhat.
In giving such latitude for variation in
prices, it must be understood that lands
of a certain kind cannot be set down at
a specific price here like they can in
o'der settled countries, beccuse much
more depends upon the style of person
who owns it. Here, one man may ask
S20per acre for his farm, because he
wants to sell; while his adjoining neigh
bor, who has no better place, but who
does not want to sell, would not take
S30 per acre for his. ;
5 h. Pitcty of limbered land can be
bought, but it is held at a much higher
price than prairie. It varies also ac
cording to quality of timber and loca
tion. Timbered land within two to five
or six miles of this city, is worth from
S50 to 8100 per acre, while nearly or
quite as goodtitnber. can be bought fif
teen or twenty mifes west from here,
along ihe Platte river, at S12 to $20
per acre.
6th. The soil of this county will pro
duce, and does produce, all kinds of
products except such as are found in
Southern latitudes only; but the etaplo
products of Nebraska are wheat, cornt
oais, barley, potatoes and other garden
vegetables. Wheat and corn are the
principal products, becau.-e we find
a much belter market for them lhan
otherproducts. Apples, peaches, pears,
plums, etc., are being cultivated to a
considerable extent and wiih varied
success, governed somewhat fey the
knowledge of the persons who select
and cultivate them. The smaller fruits,
such as currants, raspberries, gooseber
ries, strawberries, etc., are raised in
great abundance.
Our markets are not surpassed in
any part of the United States, especial
ly for wheat and corn. For the past
two years Nebraska wheat has been
saught by millers everywhere within
reach, and has averaged ten cents
higher ij the St. Louis market than
the product of any other State. Our
facilities for shipping are the very best.
During the summer season we have
an average of three or four steamboats,
daily, plying between St. Louis and
this upper Missouri country; one line
of railroad completed through from
Chicago, and two more lines will be
completed in the course cf the next
twelve months, and at least one line of
railroad will be completed through
from St. Louis during the coming sum
mer, giving U3 competing lines to both
Chicago and St, Louis. In foimer
years we fcave had only the river to
depend upon for transportation, but the
different competing liues now, and soon
tote, in operation will give us all the
advantages of the best stock and grain
markets in the wst. We might con
tinue t! ese remarks to an indefinite
length, but we have a few more ques
tions to answer.
7th. Good horses or mares are .worth
from S150 to S200; work oxen S75 to I
$100 per yoke; milch cows, $2-5 to $40
each; sheep Si to $1.50; Stock hogs
about three cent per pound, and fat
hogs for packing from 6 to 10 cents
selling now at G 1 2.
8:h. It is difficult to say what kind of
business a man would he likely to
make "pay" or rather it is difficult to
say what kind of business would not
pay, provided a man is competent to
prosecuta it. We do not know of a
class of buriness lhat is overdone in
this country, if we except "loafing,"
and lhat, in our eimation, is easily
overdone. If a man has judgment suf
ficient to select a tutiaes? that he is
qualified to carry on, there is no difii
cuhy in h'n succeeding in almost any
branch lhat ho may choose. We be
lieve farming has paid the best, and
surest, of a!mo?t anything else in this
country, and there s not a reasonable
doubt that it will continue as good in
years to come as it Las been in years
past We 1 nve said much through the
Hera ld in regard to the profit of farm
in in Nebraika, and shall continue to
give tangible proofs as they present
themselves in future. We btlieve
Nebraska to be ihe beat agricultural
State in the Union.
Ihh. There is plenty of Elk and
Deer about 50 to 75 miles west from
here, and deer are occasionally killed
within a few miles of the Missouri riv
er. , Prairie chickens, geese, ducks,
etc., are found , in abundance every
where. A dispatch from Atlanta, of the
22d ultimo, says the Convention met
and immediately look a recess till after
noon in order to give the finance com
mittee an opportunity to negotiate for a
loan to pay the expensess cf the Con
vention. The afternoon session was
exceedingly stormy. The fioance com
mittee failed to secure a loan. They
reported an ordinance to authorize a
further effort, which was defeated on
the ground ihat nothing could be done.
The report cf the commissioner sent to
Milledgeville to draw $40,000 from the
State Treasury says he showed the
State Treasurer the ordinance of the
convention miih Gen. Pope's authority
and decision endorsed; that the Treas
urer said he must decline paying out
any money on such authority. He be
ing sworn to obey the constitution and
laws of Georgia, he was bonded only
to pay the warrants signed by the Gov
ernor. The Italian Parliament, by' a re
cent vote, refused to pay the interest
on the debt of the provinces formerly
belonging to the States of the church,
which debt was assumed by Italy when
those provinces were annexed. The
French government sent a dispatch to
Florence protesting against this action.
Walrussia is becoming American

Late London dispatches state that
the Fenians are untlsually active all
over the country. Dispatches are
hourly received relating to a contem
plated movement by ihe Brotherhood or
some absolute occurrence. Telegrams
from Cork report that about midnight
a large body cf men with blackened
faces stormed Martello tower near
Cork and overcame nnd scattered the
guard. The victors hastily collected a
quantity of arms and ammunition and
escaped without molestation.
The late Fenian operations have re
kindled public excitement. Many im
probable rumors are afloat including
one that a Fenian cruiser has been
seen off the coast.
An a'tempt was made, recently, to
burn the general post office at Dublin,
by means of Greek fire. The attempt
was frustrated, and only a few letters
were destroyed.
The latest news from London is, that
the King of Abysinia has voluntarily
released the English captives.
a - -
It is rumored, but upon what au
thority we know not, that a horrible
plot has been discovered on ihe part of
the Fenians to kidnap Queen Victoria,
while visiting the sanctuary of the late
very much lamented Prince Albert,
and shipping heron board a gunboat to
Abyssinia, where that ferocious savage
could have carried out at his leisure
his intention to compel her to marry
him. The plot, however, seems to
have been discovered in season, and
the Queen only visits the aforesaid
sanctuary at present under the protec
tion of a regiment of cavalry.
The new volcanoes in East Leon.

Work on the Capitol building is
progressiog with commendable speed.
The foundation under the central part
of the building, under the Vestibule,
Rotunda and Library Rooms is now
laid up nearly to the top of the ground
with a good quauiiy of limestone of
substantian proportion and tn superior
manner. A large force of stone cul
lers are engaged cutting stone for the
water table and other portions of the
building. Their,work is all of superior
workmanship; being performed strictly
under the eye of Mr. Morris; who by
the way, is superintending and directing
the work.
The terrible railroad disaster at
Angola, near Buffalo, in which the
timber of the cars furnished the fuel-to
burn the passengers, has revived the
idea of building cars of iron. It is
claimed that there are no difficulties in
the way of the practicability of building
and running iron cars, save the first
cosi of such cars, and it can be demon
strated that in the end iron cars are the
cheapest, and when we apply . to the
credit account of iron cars the saving
of life and limb from splinters, and
from conflagration, the advantage is
beyond cemputation or estimate.
SPThe cordial hand shaking be

CIIEYEXXE.
We clip the following in regard to
the new city of Cheyenne from a cor
respondence in the Chicago Republi
can: This full Hedged city, with .Mayor,
Council, a large business population,
and unbounded expectations ,not one in
a hundred has heard of.
The first settler in Cheyenne arrived
on the 22d day of July last. At thai
time there was not a slick of limber in
the region, and the place was desolate
enough to discourage any man. But
witness the change. On the 8th of
September following, its city govern
ment was organized; and it has to-day
a good holel, while another and larger
one is Joeing built; a large stune'ware
house, splendid restaurants; where the
delicacies of the season are served
deer, brook trout, buffalo, antelope. &c.
It has also many respectable and per
manent buildings, and what is worth a
great dual, an enterprising population
of nearly 5,000.
This city is located but twelve miles
from the base of the Black Hills, on
Crow creek, a clear and cold mountain
stream; its atmosphere is dry, healthy,
and agreeable; the soil in the neigh
borhood rich, and. when irrigated, as
it easily can be, productive in a high
degree.
The railroad here alters its grade,
and prepares to climb the mountains at
a grade of ninety feet per mile. So at
this point its rolling stock will be
changed, and the works of manufacture
and repair located here. These sho s
will be large, and give employment to
many hundreds of men. So it seems
highly probable lhat the future of thi
young city will be one of prosperity.
Surely it has a good beginning, and
everything is conspiring to promote its
interests.
Prices in Cheyenne are what East
ern people would call "steep." Board
costs from $24 to $28 per week, and
everything else in proportion. Pota
toes are worth 7c per pound, or $4.20
per bushel; Apples from 30o to 4.0c
per pound, or S14 per barrel; sugar
from $1 to SI 50 par pound; crackers
25c; butter $1; coffee 75c; and so on
Newspapers for which we pay 3c or 5c
in the Stales here cost 15c, and it is
hard to get them at lhat.
Boild'ng lots which five month? ago
were not worth anything, which in
fact, a man would not'ake as a gift, are
now worth from $4,000 to $5,000.
Nothing is heard here but the sound of
hammers and saws, as new buildings
go up day afier Jay. It does not take a
man long to build a house here; the
morning sees the timbers framed,
and the evening- finds it ready for occu
pation. There is not a brick building
in town, but there are several made of
dried mud, and are called "dobys''
(adjbs). The city has two banks,
and both seem to be doing a thriving
business. It represents all trades, and
still there is room for more.
Staid Eastern people will think it
hardly possible that a town of the nze
of this can support two papers, yel it u
a fact. There is one daily (morning)
paper, the Chcjrriiue Leader, one in
weekly, the Cheyenne rgus. BjUj
are doing well, I think; ate very
nicely printed, and although small con
tain a variety of matter.
MormuniMa Doomed.
The House Committee on Territo
ries has reported a sweeping and em
phatic bill for the suppression of poly
gamy in the Territory of Utah. By
the terms of this bill polygamy i3
made a crime punishable by imprison
ment al hard labor for not less than six
months, nor more lhan fifteen years.
All persons performing, assissttng at,
or in any way countenancing so-called
spiritual marriages, are made liable to
similar punishment. All officers and
members of the Mormon Church are
deprived cf the right to solemnize mar
riages or grant divorces, and marriages
already performed by them are de
clared void. This seems a severe
measure, but it is the tery thing re
quired. The evil ag.'inst which it i
directed has been overlooked to long
lhat sharp and decisive remedies are
absolutely necessary. If the Govern
ment is about to lake the matter in
hand there will be no use in temporiz
ing. This monstrous social anamoly
must be rooted out and utterly annihi
lated, so that the country may never
hereafter be disturbed by its revival.
The extinction can be accomplished on
ly by decisive measures, such as those
proposed by the Committee, who seem
to be unanimous in their appreciation
of the great national disgrace.
The San Francisco correspondent
of the Chici go Tribune writes: The
Pacific Mail Steamship Company's
magnificent steamship Great Republic,
which arrived from China and Japan
on the 19th ult., just in time to miss a
connection with the Panama steamer,
greaily to the annoyance cf ihe east
ward'bound passengers and to the
company, is now dischraging at the
company's new wharf nearly two thou
sand tons of fresh crop teas, mostly of
the finest qualities of Chinese and Jap
anese. You can figure up the space
occupied by a single fifty pound chest
of lea; and by multiplication, arrive at
someihing like an adequate idea of the
size of a pile of it weighing two
thousand tons. It is a sight decidedly
wor.h looking at.
A North Carolina relel was rela
ting how "The yanks' fired upon his
company while marching through a
thick wood. They gladly obeyed an
order to lie ('own, but there was noth
ing to shield them from the terrible vol
ley of the enemy. Why didn't you
gel behind a tree?'' asked a listener.
"Tree, the devil," replied Reb., There
wasn't trees enough for the officers."

jgA distinguished German pro
fessor recently announced that if a drop
of human blood was placed under a
microscope capable of magnifying
twenty million times larger, it would
show all the kinds of animals that ever
have existed; or now exist on the
earth. In the blood of a healthy per
son the animals are quiet; in that of a
sick rerion they fight. From this he
draws the conclusion that man has
within him all ihe elements from which
the universe was created. He further
says that if a dead cat was flung in a
pool of water and left to decompose, the
drops of water would show, when under
a microscope, all the animals belong
ing to the cat species.
A serious accident happened to
the Western Stage Company's coacli
out of Sioux City on Monday a week.
When going down Thompson's hill,
some three miles south of town, the
brake gave way, and the coach lipped
over, spilling out i's occupants in a
rough and promiscuous manner.
' Preacher," the driver, fared the
worst. He had one or his arms broken
between the wrist and elbow, and re
ceived oher injuries about the body,
which will confine him to his bed for
some time. Mr. Wilson, the express
messenger, and Mr. Hendricks, route
agent of the Stage t 'ompany, who were
on the outside ef the coach, were also
somjwhat injured, but not seriously.
A New York dispatch says, that
on the first of January 130 men will

chanics in the Navy Yard will be re
duced thirty-five per-cent. The re
duction will be accepted, as the men
are afraid their places will befilled by
others.
