Contractor Alley has a very conveni ent family ear" in which a family can live and move along the line of road as the work progresses. It is located, at present, on the depot grounds. Wc have received a copy ofthe "Min utes of the Ninth Session othe Nebras ka Annual Conference ofthe Methodist Episcopal Church.'' The work was done at the I'nsx office in Nebraska City, and is a credit to that establishment. The gathering of Good Templars at the Pie Nie Gardens to-day is expected to be one ofthe largest of the kind ever witnessed in the County. Every Ijodge in the county, ami some from other por tions of the State, will be represented. Tin -Temperance cause in this region is assuming magnificent proportions. Th Engineers of the Ii. & M. 1. 1. have Ik-'cii engaged in surveying, mapping and making estimates on their depot grounds in this city, daring the past week They will have thiugs in readiness for commencing work soon. Four-lior.-e coaches are now run daily between this city and Cromwell, the pres ent western terminus of the 1. Sc M. IJ. IJ., a distance-of about eighty miles.

It will cost you nothing to mention the Hihjcet to your neighbor, and may ma terially increase our list. Hon. J. S. Church, ofthe .1 called on us last week. Bro. Church looks as hearty as ever like his con science approved his every act. He was in the city attending the Grand Lodge of Good Templars. . . Col. Teck, Engineer in charge ofthe construction of the B. & 31. R. R. from this city westward, has removed his of fice to the second story of the brick building just south of Second street brHrc.

T'j. o Saturday night last alout two hundred Liltorers had gone west from this city to work on the IJ. Sc 31. K. II. be tween this city and Lincoln. Work wil not prohaly be coimnenced here for about ten days yet, but it will lc put through with a "vim" when it is commenced. Fitzgerald docs not do things by halves. Our readers will observe an item under the heading of "State News" that John McConnick has just received, t in Pacific Railroad, a consignment of'Teas direct from China. The Hkhald M ill be filled with items ofthis nature, ibr Plattsmouth merchants, inside of five years. All persons residents of Plattsmouth Precinct who have become voters since the last election will boar in mind that they must appear before Judge (Jatre and have their names placed on the reg istry books el.se they cannot vote on the question of issuing precinct bonds. Wc learn from the Nebraska City pa pcrs that "the vice President of the M, I'. IX. 11. arrived from the east yester- day," and that "work will annhience on their line this week," and tnat "there is no longer any doubt" etc., almnt this road, We are delighted to hear it. 3Ir. A. 31. Alley, of this tit-, crossed the river Monday morning with fifteen teams for the puriose of working on the strip of Railroad between the C. Ii. Sc St. Joe lioad and this cit v. Mr. Fitz gerald has the contract for completing the road to the east bank of the river, as well as from here to Lincoln. "Fitz." is a driving man, and will build the road in a hurry. A. F. Harvey, of the Lincoln States man, called on us last week. Harvey was in the city attending the session of the Grand Lodge of the Good Templars. We rememler when things were not thus with Harvey. The Statesman is one of the fairest spoken democratic journals in the State, and Harvey wields a pen of no mean ability in local mat ters. Dr. AL. Child, of Glendale, in this county, arrived at home last Friday from a five weeks visit among his old friends in Vermont and New Hampshire. He informs us the season in the Eastern States is very backward, wet and cold, and that the prospec t for crops looked very unfavorable. The IV. is looking quite -hearty like his visit had agreed with him. The Western Stage Company nrc n-w running coaches through from this city to Lincoln, via Ashland, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and return every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. They have as good accommodations as can le found on any lino of travel it the west. We notice that J. E. Doom, ofthe enterprising firm of Doom I in is., has taken the entire control of their agri cultural implement trade, giving his attention soley to it. This firm is do ing a large business this j-ear. Their sales of Reapers, Threshers Sec, will probably exceed those of am- other firm in South Platte, Nebraska. The Ch teatnan has recently been con solidated with the Snrnsii and Advance (IiiarJ, and will hereafter appear under the name of the Unhrrxc. It will be published as an eight page sheet with forty-eight columns. The' first issue of this paper will be on the 27th of thi, month. There appears to have leen a sudden change in affairs. A short time ago ev erybody who came to Nebraska made Omaha the point; now they are coming to Plattsmouth. The establishment of a terminal point of a great national thoro' fare, like the B. Si 31. R. R., does arrest the attention of the public, when the name of a town like Plattsmouth will have no such effect. E. Sage, Esq., of this city, has sold, during the present season, seventy-one of the "J lames' Illinois Harvesters," and says he could have sold a hundred with out the least exertion, only the demand has been so great he could not obtain the machines. This speaks well for the agri cultural interests of Cass county, consid ering the great number of other harvest ing machines that have lecn sold. See new advertisement of Tootle, Hanna fc Clark, Bankers. This firm is one of the most reliable doing business in the western country, and represents a very large amount of capital. There is no man but knows his money is safer within a bank vault than between the hod ticks or secreted in some out-of-the-way pi ice where mice can "break in and steal;" and every man in this locality should le" prudent enough to make his deposits with Tootle, Hanna & Clark. There your money" is perfectly safe so long as any member of the firm is worth enough to pay it. We have been shown a sample of winter wheat raised by our old Republi can friend, Win. Altaffer, Esq., on the South Weeping Water, which certainly lKks like winter wheat could be raised successfully in this State. The heads which wc saw were large and well filled, and we are told that 3Ir. Altaffer ex pects to have fifty bushels to the acre from his field. The varieties raised by 3Ir. Altaffer is known as the Red Chaff and White Winter. Wc were also shown some fine specimens of rye from his field, the heads of which would measure full eight inches in length, and were well filled. J. S. Tewksbury, Esq., came up on the McGill yesterday morning. He will remain two or three weeks. A large, number of men and teams are already at work dn the B. & 31. It. It. between this city and Lincoln, and every Jay adds to the number. There will lie over 1,000 men at work 3-et this summer. The Weeping Water Coal Co. had reached the depth of J0 feet last Friday, with their drill, and have probably struck the coal bed ere this time. Particulars next week. We are in receipt ofthe June number ofthe Xebraxka, Intelligencer, at Lincoln. The Intelligencer is devoted exclusively to the development of the State, ami is filled with reliable information concern ing Nebraska. Advertisers will bear in mind that the Intel' igenar has a circula tion of five thousand copies. The Kcv. I. G." Gasmann, Ii. I)., President of Nebraska College, will (D. V.) conduct Divine Service and preach in St. Luke's Church on Sunday next at 11 a. in., and 8 o'clock p. m. Holy Communion after morning ser vice. All are invited. II. Yorxii, 3Iinister. We have nothing of interest from the Weeping Water coal fields this week. It is expected thevein will be reached before another publication, when we will be able to give our readers all the facts. Our Weeping Water correspondent will furnish a complete history of the mine, giving the geological formation passed through, etc. We learn from I). W. 3IcKinnon, Esq that a man named Nelson Atkinson was drowned last Sunday in Bock Creek, branch of Salt Creek, at Atkinson's 3Iill It apjicars that the high waters ha odged sonic drift upon the dam, whie 3Ir. Atkinson feared would cause break, and himself and another m m endeavored to remove the drift. In or der to get at it without being carrie over the dam, they tied a rope to a skiff, and fastened the other end on shore. lhe current was so strong that the skiff was hauled under water the moment the rope was drawn taut, and both men were carried over the dam into the seeth ing waters be'ow, from which 3Ir. At kinson was taken a corpse. His com anion reached the shore in safetj. t is supiKised 3Ir. A. was injured in going over the dam, as he was an excel- nt swimmer. We also learn, from the same gentleman, that a Bohemian,- lining iiimuoti iinu :i pair 01 muies were drowned in llobinson's Branch of Salt Creek on Jlondny of this week. The stream was very much swollen by recem rains, aim it is supposed the man A . " . , , was not sufficiently acquainted with the ord. The third annual session ofthe Gram iodge of Gootl Templars of Nebra.-ka, leld in I'lattsmouth, commencing June 1 6th, closed last Friday a. m. Owing to the inclement stage of the weather, a por tion ofthe Representatives from a (Us ance were late getting in, but we are in formed that the session closed with a large attendance, delegates and visitors bciu present from all portions of the State. - The session is .'aid to have been one of unusual interest and profit, and every thing passed off with the utmost harmonv 'he reports of the Grand Worthy Chief Templar and Grand Worthy Secretary ire spoken of as being able documents. md heartily approved by all who heard them. The following officers were dulv installed on the evening of the second day's session, for the ensuing year: G. Stevenson, of Relievue, G. W. C T.; A. .1. Harding, of Nebraska Citv, G, W. Coun.; 3Iiss. J. E. Hall, of Nebraska City, G. W. V. T.; John Q. Goss, of Bcllevue, G. W. S.; F. P. Todd, of Plattsmouth, G. W. T. The following is a list of the appointed officers: Thomas Gibson, of Fontenelle. G. W. Chaplain; James Reed, of Nebraska City, G. W. A. if.; Arthur Gibson, of Fremont, G. V . 31.; Miss. Laura Davis, of Piatt mouth, U. W.D. 31.; 3Iiss. C. J. All- hands, of 3It Pleasant, G. W. I. (1. and J. S. Bobbins, of Grant, Nemaha county, G. W. Sentinel. J he next annual session is to be held at Lincoln. Extra KcsHioii ofthe I..cg;ilattirc. The Omaha Rrjmtih't-an is urging the lioveniorto call an extra session ofthe Legislature in September next. We ob ject; esiKjcially as to time. First, be .1 . cause mere are a good manv vacancies which can be filled 111 October; and sec ond, because if the Legislature is to meet in extra session, it should le after the October election, so if the Constitution al Convention carries, provision maybe made fbr the Convention at an early day. We object generally, as we are not yet convinced of the necessity for such an expenditure of time and money. We know that there is much that ought to lie done; but, from the temper of the Legislature as expressed last winter, we are not sure that what is so desirable to be done could be arranged more satisfac tory than we now have it. We shall be Miser after the October election than be fore. A good thorough canvass in this State for County oilicers, will teach us that the people desire the strictest econ omy consistent with a rigid administra tion ofthe laws No reckless waste or unnecessary appropriation of the funds ofthe State or County, will be tolerated by the people; and politicians who rc inclinea to mn official business on too high a prcs-ure, have cither to put on the break or stand aside. e say then, if a regular session is de termined on, let it be at the regular time in January. AdcertTxrr. Southern .tl ui-tlcr. The Washington Cltronule. in sneak ing of the recent murder of a prominent United States officer in 3Iississimii. savs submission to the laws in certain parts of the South appears impossible. It i hoping against hope to look for it. The tacts are too consistently the other way. 3IississippI occupies exactly the Position of Texas, and this deed, which, from all information,- looks like an unprovoked assassination, is clearly covered by At torney General -H oar s late opinion. The Union men of the South must be protected and their persecutors punished. That is the judgement and praver ofthe Seople, and, as we are now assured, the etermination of President Grant. 1 Subscribe for the IIeilvlp. Telegraphic Nummary. New York, June 22. A Hong Kong letter of April 20th, states that twenty-nine articles, embody ing every important concessions, are to be made to the text of the Burlingauie treaty. These are intended to afford greater protection and commercial facili ties to forreigners. The question of the right of stock bro kers to sell customers stock upon margins exhausted, involving millions of dollars, is in argument before the Court of Ap peals at Albany-. A tVashington special says that Gen. Canby's decision that no one can be ad mitted as a member of the Virginia legislature who can not take the iron clad oath, will necessitate the withdraw al of most of the Conservative candida tes and the substitution of others Mho can take the oath. The law admitting colored men to serve as jurors took effect in Washing ton yesterday, and several negroes were summoned. There is considerable excite ment over the fact. A New York special says that the places of the members of the Cuban Junta, arrested last week, have been fill ed by others and business goes on as usual. The Junta is confident that the expedition which sails this week will settle the question in favor of Cuban in dependence. m m Irisli and (irrman. Five year ago the Irish immigration greatly exceeded the German. From lS.V.t to 1 804, both inclusive, the excess of Irish was as follows: From From Ireland Germane .12,652 28.270 47,330 37; 890 2.), 784 27.139 32,217 27,740 1,1S7 35.002 "89,3'jy 57,446 3 18. .r.,!) , 213,496 Years. 18.V.1, isfio, 1861, 1 862, 186:5, 1864, Total more Irisli came to this country than Germans; but during the past four years the balance is conspicuously the other way.

Since 1863 the Irish have diminished while the Germans have greatly increased The total of immigration of these two peoples during the past ten years is 1.1S4.996. The fact that a large majority of our German immigrants vote the Republi can ticket, as soon as thev acquire the right of suffrage, and tbe additional fact that the rapid spread of Republican principals and Republican ideas among the Irish population ot this country bid- fair to draw at least one-half of that vote over to the side of freedonm and prog ress within the next three years, present rather a sorry picture to the contempla tion of copperhead politicians when thev lxik into the luture. The While ICoek Colony (iono. One of the party who went to serch for the bodies of the missing buffalo hunters, called 011 us yesterday, and con firmed the report of the flight of the W hite Rock Colony. Ihis colony con sisted of between fifty and sixt- families or weels. Jhevhal taken up some beautiful and fertile lands 011 the White Rock, which empties into the Republi can trom the westward, and had settled down to a development of that most lovely part of the country. Without an hours warning, they were raided on by a haiHl ot plun.lcnnr Tinli.ui.--. lio killed twelve of their number and slaughtered a lot of stock. In consternation at this unexpected attack upon their lives and 7ropertv, the entire survivors 01 the colony hastily gathered together what few articles they could conveniently move and hastily fled eastward. At this time a body 01 wo hundred and forty soldiers occupy the colony's ground and will re main there during the remainder of the season to take care of any red skins who may return that way. No doubt but severe measures will be taken with the thieving, murdering savages on the fron tier. J he settlors are worked up to that pitch that they will take the government of Indians into their own hands if the authorities fail, and woe to the poor Lo who falls into their. clutches.
