It is a dith-c-.h matter to bridge the Missouri river, and it can only be done at certain points. The great difficulty is in Gliding a suffi cient foundation, and only at one or two points on the river is rock known to lay nitViic ntly near the surface to make the l.ri dir'uiir of the stream at all practicable.

There are many newspapers that batter away about buildimr this and that rail road, just like a blind man fighting a nest of bees they hear a noise and they immediately strike in that direction. Thev oftener do harm than good to rail road interests that they would help. Wo j find the following sensible remarks on this ; subject in the ISrownviile Alvt rtisrr : J The Omai 11-rrll. followed by the!

We, ourselves, have Wn impatient at times, but we thought it the part of prudence to look at the matter in the light of those whose busi ness it was to build the roads ; to look at their plan ; find out the various objects they were reaching after, and the meth ods by which they propose to accomplish the end they had in view. With the light we have upon the subject, we do not propose to go into winter quarters bv n means. What we projose, is to work o some purpose ; to work with those who control the action of the company. To piiMidi the plan of operation would be to defeat the measures they have in iew ; and so if we do not inform the public of all wo know, of what the seve ral companies are doing, it is because we hue tx creat interest in their success. n our part, there will be do let tin uulil otw rrwU nrv oinphtfd.

There is probably a suiheieiit number of profes sional men here for our present popula tion, but we are increasing rapidly in numbers and consequently the number of profe.wioual men must increase. There is little if any government land to be had within fifty miles of our city, but unimproved and partialy im proved lands, in the hands of speculators can be had at prices ranging from $" per acre upwards. There is plenty of land to be had for the cash, at very reasonable figures. ly reference to the map, our corespon dent will see that Plattsmouth is situated in a favorable location for a large city at the month of the great Platte valley, thecors-ing of the IS. & M.

Fifteen years ago Nebraska was a wil derness. Indians were around loose, and wild cats, deer, buffalo, wolves, cay otes, and other TarruinN, including a few white and half-breed trappers, who diden't know who Franklin Pierce was, composed the population. , ... To-day Omaha has twenty-fire tliausari'l people nearly as many as were-in the entire Territory in 1800 ; Nebraska City has ten thousand, I'lattsmouth, Drown vilb, Fremcnt, register by thousands each a hundred "smaller towns have ach their hundreds ; cross roads a hun dred miles from the river have stores, taverns and blacksmith shops, and in al most every county in Nebraska, set tlements for town sites have been uiad Farms in the river counties wear tha. ap pearance of-'wdl establinbW ciiiuvUon that obtains eastward; the patches of breaking in the interior have spread into fields, and all support a imputation already celebrated for sobriety, industry ami thrift. All told, wo estimate not less than 175,O0 people in the State. Property, real and personal, has an .as sessed value of $50,000,0001 One rail road rans already1 the length of our do main ; and a half dozen others to checker both divisions of the States, are rapidly approaching completion. The State has built its own capitol, ami will tiiu.4i other public buildings without taxing the peo ple a dollar. We have a school fund of $3 000.000. Out of 48, 000,000 of land, about 7, immi.oYm) acres have passed fromi the pos session of the United States to private tit"e'. 4.O0u,O(M acres are yet open to settlement by emigrants. :)0,00(,0tX) are good fr the iJough, and the remainder good fir grazing. Take it all in all. Nebra-ka stands to day, as the result of til teen years growth, far ahead of any western State at the same age, and yet presents inducements for the fort u tie hunter never equalled upon the globe. That these inducements are appreciated by the eastern people, and by foreigners, is proven by the tide of immigration to the State during the past few months, and by the overwhelm ing number of inquiries made of laud agents, p. stniasters, lawyer-, preachers and editors, fir information by people in all corners of the earth. The indications are that 1870 will witness. an inllux of bone and sinew to Nebraska soil, upon the like of which history is silent, one consequence of which will le that the Suite's position as one of the Union will be of more than commanding influence ; and that it will be good to live within her borders.

We clip the following from the St Joe Htrnld: M. .. " r " A casualty occurred Tuesday night, near the Council Bluffs Railroad Jep.t, and on the track of that road, resulting iu the death of man named Michael Hardy, under circumstances utterly and w holly beyond the control of any attache of the road. Upon the arrival of the 10;30 traiti from Council Bluffs, an engine-driver named F.dward A. Lusk took engine No. 104 to switch soma cars on a side-track preparatory to making up the 1:30 train, which leaves for Council Bluffs tin the arrival of the Hannibal and St. Joe train from the ea-t. at 1:120. It seems there is one particular place on a certain side-track where the e ngineers are in the habit of clearing the engine furnaces of ciud?r and ashes. Lu-k had run down to the switch and was backing up to the cars he intended to arrange for the train. Nearing the usual place of deposits lor cinders the lender of course being ahead lie was slowing up for a stop, when he heard the scream of a nian.un der the tender and near the cinder-pile. Lu-k immediately stopped his engine, and, alighting and going ahead on foot, he found the mancled body of the un fortunate man llardv writhinson one of the rails, two truck-wheels having passed diagonally over his breast and abdomen and crushing his right ami above the elbow and at the wrist.

Roberts acj nnpanied our reporter in answer to "a summons fiviu the prisoner. Ihiring the evening several efforts were made by the excited luob to draw the prisouer from the bouse for the purpose of haft?ins: him to a tree. U..' Twice a rope was placed upon the iKM-k 0T tne-prisoner, ana in one instance sumo forcible remarks, in defense of "law an i'o'rder," by Gen. Roberts, in duced the- leaders to desist, and in another instance a granger with lion heart and herculean arm. tore the rope from the prisoner, in the face of the. ex cited moh, and numerous drawn pisoIs. At the time our reporter left the scene about 10, o'clock p. in. tin, prisoner was still in confinement' and guarded by a constable, a posse of citizens, and Jus tice Kubank, who declared the prisoner should have a fair trial under tht law, or the mob would be compelled to walk over his dead body. About' fifty men remained near the spot when our re porter left, and threuts' continued to be made of taking the prisoner's life. The "law's delay" iu other cases of this kind tends to exasperate the good people of Kastport. and we must acknowledge that it is a palliation for their conduct last night. . - . TTIFT PRISONER, v -: Charles Murdock. is a native of North Carolina, now a resident of Salnie county, Missouri. At .the time of the affray he was on bis way home from a visit-to relatives in Wyoming, seven miles above this city, and was accompanied by bis uncle, Thomas Woodson. The difficulty commenced with one of the hands of the boat, which resulted iu the man running away ami the prisoner firing two shots at him whilst running. Another difficult then took place on board of the boat. In this mcfer the prisoner - Jo.t one of his revolver.-." which w-as"take:i pose-sion of by one of the boat.s crew, not however. ' until he had 'fired one shot,' fmd was knocked down. After the boat landed the prisoner demanded his revolver, and threatened to shoot the Captain and pilot if it was not given up.' 1 he boat pushed off. and when about ten feet from shorSi lie pulled fwm his p.cket a second revolver and commenced shooting at tiie pilot. Two shots passed throusrh the pilot-house --one thmngh ; the '.window and the' other through the'enbin. The last and only shot that did injury was the one aimed at the fireman, the ball taking effect e!o-c,to the cheek boue,and passing 6ut aLthe ntck.5 ' j j x i i The wound is not considered d-oger-ous, yet Mr. Johnson has. no occasion to thank the'scoundrervvho the leaden messenger of death to take his life's blood. Our reporter says he does not regard the life of the prisoner as "worth a damn." yet better councils may prevail, and the culprit be handed over to the civil authorities for trial. Gen. JUJerts is retained to defend the pri oner,, i" ease he estsipes what tlie crowd regard exact justice, viz : imme diate execution. LATER MI RDOCK IIANOED BY A MOB. From the Cbroniclc of tlie ltith.1 ' The shooting affray which was re ported in the JJnrnina C'iroiiicle on Sunday, led to another and more serious affair. When our reporter left the scene of the dirEeutyT , there was an excited n.ob in the vicinity, and on Sunday morn ing the lifeless liody of Murdock was found suspended to a small tree near the ferry landing, The body was left unmo lested until a coroner could be summoned tVdtti Sidney, . Iowa, when . it ; was cut down and buried. The shooting of Saturday night was of a most desperate character, and gave evidence that Murdock was a hard case. but in our opinion there was uo good reason for a mob to. take the matter out of the hands of the authorities and inflict such a punishment in t such a suuiuiary manner. The public safety is decreased by the permission of such offences an I the citi zens of Iowa are digging a dangerous pit Ly winking at such a transaction. The scoundrel should have been tried in a properly constituted court, and every citizen should have made it a part of his duty to see that justice was measured out, but there is no case in this quiet country where mob law is at all justifiable.

The Elkador Journal, published at Elkador, Clayton county, Iowa, gies in its issue of the 3d inst., lengthy extracts from a circular of a new secret ordr to be composed of farmers an I hortieultu ralists and called "The Order of the Patron of Husbandry." The circular claims that the order ignores all jolitical or rehsious matters.
