PtATTSKOlTII AXI ITS PBOS
PECT.
The intreaecd knowledge in the cast
relative to the toil, climate, and advanta
ges of Nebraska, and the railroads con
sfrueted, or Leiug built in and through
tho State are bwelling the current of cmi
gration to such & Kiegree that the growth
of the Btate lids fair to be still more rapid
than that of her elder sisters. In this
connection we vr i?h to. speak of the vast
territory of government land that will be
wade accessible to settlers by the open
ing of the Burlington Si Missouri Itivcr
Kailroad westward from riattsmouth,
and its effect on'our future prosperity.
From this point to the junction of that
road with the Union Pacific, a distance
of about 200 miles, the road passes
through one of the best wheat countries
if not the very best wheat country in the
entire west. The whole of the distance,
however is not through an unoccupied,
or even thinly settled region ; ior upward
cf sixty niiles the country is well settled,
and for a new one, well improved. But
after leaving Lincoln the Capital of the
State, the farms are less frequent, and
you on reach a section where govern
mcntland can still be obtained, and from
there on to the junction, land of superior
quality is still.ppen to homcsteading. In
an incredible short time it will all be
taken and very soon this entire region,
tributary to the Burlington road, will be
shipping its produce. Plattsmouth from
its location will be the depot and mar
ket for a vast amount of its produc-;,
and the outfitting point for its supply of
merchandise.
This trade alone, if Plattsmouth had
no other resource, would place her among
the most important towns along the river;
for the advantages of that trade will be
estimated by millions.
But this is but a single item in the
credit account promised by the future.
Our advantages over the Omaha route
or any other, for bridging the Missouri,
the easy grade of our road, and its dirce
ness will bring the Mountain and Pacific
trade by this road, and make them tribu
tary to our growth. The great require
ments of trade are safe, cheap and quick
transportation, and in all these requi
sites the great through route via the
Burlington cut-off has a decided advan
tage over any road constructed, or that
can be constructed to accommodate this
trade and travcL
"With this advantage of location we pre
dict that riattsmouth will be the great
city of the valley, and we expect to live
to see our prediction v-srifieiL '

When we look back a few years at any
of our western wn3, or States, we see
the towns as a few scattered log cabins,
or little half constructed frame crib
and tho States with but here and there
a hardy pioneer, with little improve
ment of farms and hardly producing the
plainest necessaries of life p and now
those same towns are populous and
flourishing cities, excelling in numbers,
wealth and enterprise, many an eastern
town a century old, and the States in
products, railroads, schools, in every
thing that gives facilities to production
and traffic, in everything that contributes
to the comforts of life and the elevation
and refinement of Eociety, rank side by
side with the original States of the Union,
Within a lifetime, Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois, Michigan sad Missouri have sprung
from an Indian waste, each to the wealth
and population of a respeetable kingdom,
and in less than half that time Iowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota have started
out on the same career, but are growing
populous and powerful more rapidly than
their predecessors, and still later, Kan
sas and Nebraska have started off in the
race, and are increasing with still ac
celerated speed.
But the time will come, and very Eoon,
when thews prairie States will be popu
lous and land comparatively dear ; then
will the tide of emigration cease, or will
it flow on to tho mountain region and
make new States there. You say that
will depend upon the advantages afforded
by the climate and soil, and the produc
tions of the country. If these will sus
tain a krge population the population
will certainly be supplied.
The minerral wealth of the mountains
is an established fact, and by that single
source of production, as yet scarcely de
veloped, the genus of mountain States
are already formed.. And if the region
produced nothing but minerals that
product alone, through the aid of rail
road facilities, would soon render the
country rich and populous. But that re
gion ranks as the very best stock-raising
country in the entire north, riot only
the best for cattle, but for sheep also,
and its shipmenla ot wool, and very
soon of woolen fabrics for it will be a
manufacturing country will add another
important element of prosperity, and
help to sustain a denser population. Its
wealth of minerals, its abundant and pe
culiarly rich pasturage, its advantages
for manufacturing, with water power in
every valley, and its healthful climate,
will, in our opinion, settle and improve
mountain region as rapidly as the
praine fctates nave been populated.
Within a few years from the present
time the mountain valleys will be dotted
with houics. and viilaces, and cities, and
in every direction will go up columns cf
smoke from forge, foundry and rolling
mills, from coal mines, quartz mills, oil
wells and. manufacturing establishments
of every kind. Roads from Montana.

Since writing the above, we have re

Drake's amendment, against which Sen
ator Tipton recorded his rote. It is as
follows:
"And provided further, That the State
of Virginia is entitled to representation
in Congress upon the following fundamen
tal conditions: . .
'That the Constitution of v irgiraa shall

The Brownvillo Advertiser gives the
following extract from a private letter re
ceived from Hon. T. W. Tipton :
"Believing the times demand that -a
stop should be put to the speculation in
public lands, aa far as possible, I. intro
duced on lhJ 18th inst., a bill to prohi
bit the sale of the Public Lands of the
Un.:ted States ia Nebraska except to ac
tual settlers. ,
, In w y t1 i?JuI533SEe on land at
our last meeting, we passed upon a rail
road hi!l and recommended its passage,
providing that the United States should
only sell the alternate sections ot land on
an Oregon railroad to actual settlers, and
that the railroad should do the same with
their lands, aud limit the amount to ICO
acres to each purchaser, and at a price
not to exceed two dollars and fifty cents
per acre. This shows the liberal and
just tendency of our present Legislature.

A recent number of the Nebraska City
Cltronicle says :
A correspondent of the Plattsmouth
Herald criticises quite severely the call
made some time ago for a re union of
Nebraska soldiers, at Lincoln, on the 4th
of July next. The priuciple ground of
objection seems to be that the committee
of arrangements as at first made is com
posed principally of members of the Ne
braska First. While this may be true.
we are well satisfied there was no inten
tion of excluding from the organization
nvy Nebraska soldier. All will be included-
in the formal call hereafter to be
made, and all the regiments and military
organizations Irotn the State will be on a
perfect equality. When there was glory
enough for all to share there can be no
objection in the exclusion of any soldier
or organization. e snouui use to see
a permanent organization of all Nebraska
soldiers, and have frequent re-unions, in
which all soldiers of the Union army will
be made welcome. This, we think L the
