The following article taken from the Schuyler liegiitcr, o nearly describes ' the condition of most of the townn that we reproduce it for the leneSt of our readers : ' "It ia a noticeable fact that in new countries like thi, nearly every man one meets b poor and cenis to Died money ; is trying to borrow it ; is willing td pay tk high rate of intereat for its use while money is plenty, so to speak, in Eastern States, and is freely offered at a . low rate is often tho subject of conver ; sation. The question was asked us only a few ' - days z "Why is this?" . While we aro no financier, and pretend to know but little of Money Markets, we believe that it may be accounted for in a hun" dre J different ways. That is : Money tends to the East, and net West; for these reasons: tb.9 great manufactur ing interests, coal and iron mines, gro cery and dry goods houses are in the East ; .You go t your grocer and buy a pack- age of soap, and it is marked New ' York ; you buy a knife, or a hat, a yard of muslin, a pound of coffee, sugar, tea, &!., Ac, through the long list that goes to mako up the every day wants of life, - , and you will find ' that it is either manu factured in the Eastern States, or come 'from the Old World, and passing through those States gave them profits, that must eome frem the pockets of the oon- , - . tester.' ' Upon our table lie a pair of scissors, a rule, a diary, and a bottle of Ink. The scissors are merked Cobb., the rule and diary New York, and the ' ink," London. Thus it it is with every - thing. ;Our agricultural implfments ; oom generally from Ohio and Illinois. , Those we should manufacture at home, as should we also cur woolen goads, our ; : eugar, (beet sugar) our starch, eur malt liquor?, and everything elso that can be - manufacture J here, &ni thus keep onr money at home, and furaish' a ready market for our produce, and employ- , . meat fcr our workmen." The editor of the Neb. City Chronicle, 'fdeling himself agrievod, by being as.so ; - elated with the editor of tho Omaha 1 ', HcraU, rises and eSplaics-' tLusly : ' ; J "It having: come to rny knowledge . i that one Edmunds Las published a book which, he calls "Pen Sketches of Ne braskians," and has therein associated ujy came with that'ef such political jihyfters a Dr. Geo. L. Miller, of Ofia ba, I desire to itate that it wm dope wholly without 1 try consent, and I di' claim hereiy, any intention of becouncg a party to such combination of o?po tes. 'Hcpiog the public will not ad judga me guilty of voluntarily "going m the way of vil men." I am, Kespectfully. IV. II. n. WATFR3 M We publish ehewhere in our column an article from the Brownville Advertiser, urging'tneT appointmeatf CoL .R. W Furnas as Commissioner of Agriculture We believe no better person could be se lected , to fill , this important' posi tion,' and Mncerely hope our Senators and Representatives will look after this matter, and, if possible, secure the ap pointment of Col. Furnaa. The, present incumbent seems poor! fitted for the position, and there was ai unanimous request, on the part of the Agricultural Convention, that he be re moved!,', ' ' The Prairie Farmer, speaking of tie present Colnmiesioncr, says: "While thtre was manifest a willingness to ask for help for the Department from Congress, there appeared to be but one feelinjr. and that one of disappointment in the gentleman occupying the otfice of Commissioner, the lion. Frederick Watts, lie seems to be restricted to Pennsylvania in all his ideas of pro gress in agriculture, and hence to poorly comprehend the magnitude of the work which such a department is calculated to accomplish, and should accomplish. His coune, ia the organization and progress of the convention, in first ig noring a large element in the attendance and then "washing his hands" of the action of the other element, seemed to leave him very much out ia the cold." -Let the position be given where it properly belongs, to the West, and a live western man appointed, and the Depart ment of Agriculture will be something more than an. ornamental institution. Weeping Water, March 9. Ed. Herald .What a jwlly soal i must have beea wlo wrote : "Ho for the stormy cold March days. Ah! there is nothing like them; Loud peans shout, and sing their praise, Joy is so wild and free." However, I am of the opinion that if he had been here for the last two days he would have changed his tune to long metre. But we are thankful for the warm days we have had already. They have told us that our prospects for a good crop of winter wheat is better than we expected; that so far it is all right Oth ers aro not) so fertunate. The early sown wheat seems to look well, but nearly ev ry one has given up that which was sown during the month of October. Howev er, the case is not fully maue up and wil not bo until the spring wheat commences to cone up; until then we should be happy 1 It is more instructive than amus ing, to notice how easily some give up ; and on the contrary, how hopeful some are. Some people seem never to have any confidence in the future ; and singu lar as the case may be, the future. never leaves them in any great want. Surely "the Lord sendeth the rain vpon the just and the unjust." ." ; .' In yocr last issue you made me say that "Mr. Potter intends visitiag here," whilo I intended to say "Mr. P. intends locating here." He will also start a Jeweler's shop here early in the spring, we are informed. .1 In the fcame issue you also failed to quote the most interesting portion of the preposition submitted by the commis sioners of Otoe County; that pertaining to the Nebraska City and Jforth western Railroad. This road, more than anv other, will benefit Cass County, running as it will, nearly forty miles in the coun ty, and that too, through the central por tion. This road will benefit at least three fourths of our citizens. It will cot only give us a home market for our pro duce, but will give us a competition in freights, that will give us the very best price going. .- : We d not know how much Nebraska City means by this move, but we hope she means business. In one thing, at Jeatt, ehe is to be commanded for her wisdom; i. e. in presenting an "iron clad' proposition to the citizens, so they aro in no danger of losing their bonds unless the roads are completed. If Otoe car ries the bonds, wo are informed that Cass will be called on to aid, either by county or precinct bonds. We anxiously await the developments cf the future. EuelUh Tlewsof Nebraska. We clip the following communication from the Guernsey Star relating to Nebraska and Nebraska lands. Thou sands of English emigrant? are arriving yearly: and we are glad to know that our own State ia having a fair proportion of them. My first trip to Guernsey was com menced under rather disadvantageous circumstances, crossing the Channel in the steamer Havre, performing the trip in about 17 hours. It was the first time l ever experienced the sensation of sea sickness, notwithstanding my experience many times across the Atlantic Ocean, and to one, coming from the Far West, and distant State of Nebraska, without Buffering from that malady, the fact was rather astonishing. Guernsey being onoo reached, there was ample to repay any slight tumbling and tossing during the voyage, it being a right tigUt little ioland in which any person could ; ass a pleasant few months, and as a permanent resi dence must be one cf the most enjoyable that I have met with, which is saying a great deal, considering that last year 1 vieited nearly all the towns in England, Scotland, and Wales, and a considerable number, in Ireland. .The seenery in Guernsey is impressive and highly pic turesque, but it is unnecessary tor me to refer to the many objects of interest to a traveller, as they are so well known to yourselves, and those with the hospitali ties I received will not be forgotten in my descriptive letters to the ; press. , in Nebraska. . ;.,. Nebraska is the last and 37th State ad mitted into the American Union; it is situated in the exact geographical centre of that country. The rise and progress of. its citiep, the development of its rail road?, and the increase of its population in the same space of time, exceed any thing in the previous history of the United States of America. This State has a population bordering upon 00,000, who has selected Nebraska as a home within the last 25 years, and most of them since it was admitted from a territory. . . ' - Omaha is about the eldest dry in the State; it numbers cow about 25,000 in habitants. . ., . Lincoln, the'capital, situated in South ern Nebraska, has a population of 5,- CVO . ; The great iucceoS of this pew State is owing to the fine healthy invigorating climate, its rich alluvial prairia land3, waving over a country rolling away in ?entle undulations, covered with a carpet of almost rerenial green, so refreshing to lheey9. This oac hunting ground of the Indian, and pasture of the wild buf falorwill one day hare to yield to the spade and the plough and give place to the waving wheat fields and majestio maftc, to help to fill the millions of crav ing mouths; but this consummation so dovoutedly to be wished for, would still have been glimmering in the prospective future, aud its resources and ndvantages would not have been known had it not been for it3 railway interests. . The Burl ington and Missouri River Railway Com pany, one of the the richest corporations in the United States, having opened op the States of Illinois and Iowa next turned their attentioa to their further ; progress westward to . the development of the southern portion of the State of Nebras ka, so as to fyrm a direct communication, and important link, in the Great Pacific Railroad, across to the Pacific. The idea of a railroad being once con ceived, with that true American energy, the company applied to Congress for powers to pass through this most fertile and almost uninhabited State.. Having obtained, a concession of land as a gift froia the United States Governmeat com prising 2,000,000 acres laid out in squares of one mile each, alternating - with the same quantity of land, also in squares, to be given away by the United States Gov ernment, to actual settlers as homesteads of 80 acres each. The rai'rord being completed, the next question was how to populate this vast extent of territory which had been given it. Agents were sent to Europe to establish agencies in ev ery large town for the purpose of issuing through tickets at the lowest rates of tare, ihese positions were granted to men of standing and responsibility, who can vouch for tha correctness of the statements made concerning Nebraska. Large numbers of English people have been pouring into the State, and taking advantage of the SO acres of land granted free in the government sections, and in creasing their holdings by purchasing in the adjoining lands, hsld by the Burl ington and Missouri River Railway Com pany. Its last year's sale realized an rnormous sum (over half a million pounds sterling), Although ten years oredit is given, the prices asked are very low. varying from 12s. to 3 per acre. In this period of time ad industrious man may pfty for his land out of its produce. Emigrants homes have been establish ed at different points, where new comers may lodge free while making their se lections. .. You will naturally ask, where is Ne braska, and what was my object in vis iting you at this unseasonable time of the yoar, when the aspect cf your island is at its worst? Simply because such im portant places as Guernsey, . the other Channel Islands, Normandy, and . Brit tany, could not be overlooked by the Burlington and Missouri River Railway Company, and Mr. E. T. LoJHeasurier. of Guernsey, has been appointed to aet as district agent, and all information will be supplied "by him" gratuitously. Ike plan adopted by the company is to make up parties or colonies to be sent out in charge of a competent guide, who will conduct them from Liverpool to the port of debarkation, and when they number over one hundred bouU they are for warded by special express trains through to their future homes in Nebraska in 60 hour?.. Oa arriving at Lincoln, the trav ellers are placed under the protection of G. S! Harris, Esq., the very courteous, Land Commissioner of the Railway Com pany. The interetf of the Railroad Com pany does not end like the Shipping and ordinary Railroad Companies when the emigrant arrives at the end of his journey. On the contrary it only commences as the success of the individual in the de velopment of the resources cf the land adds to the wealth of the company by increasing its local trafi- and aiding to the value of unsold adjoining lands. It will therefore be seen that any 'false representations on the part of the Com pany would be to their disadvantage. The fact biog that the interest of the company and that of the settler are iden tictiL The State being an open prairie country, no clearing of timber is required and a crop of eorn may be raised during the firtft year of settlement. The soil is inexhaustable, the subsoil being light loom and marie, and there are no swamps or ague spots to bft found, though it is beautifully watered by noblo rivers, and clear running streams There is an abun dance of ooal, peat, iron, and building etcne. TbsreUno doubt the Channel Islands are over populated, and that people may live in peace and poverty at home, but by removing to such a State as Nebraska, health, wealth, and pros perity, might easily be obtained by ordi nary industry, perseverance, and deter mination. The rapid development of a new country is ab'essing to those who accept its invitations, and an advantage to those who rercaiu at home, so that whoever fairly, honestly, and truly rep resents the advantages, climate, and soil of a State so eligible oa the 6Core of health, and natural wealth is conferring a boon upon those ho may visit. -' Short letters will hereafter follow on matters of interest in relation to Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado, with your per mission, will be Isent for publication. . -: Yours very truly, C. R. S. London, Feb. 1, 1872. : As the farming community are in our county organizing societies of the order of Patrons of Husbandry, we clip the following correspondence from the Grand Island Independent, on the subject, which, we doubt not, will be of interest to many of our readers : : t Alma City, Harlan Co., Nkb. Eds.. . Independent : An Agricul tural Association is spoken of by the people of Hall county, and I wish, in connection with this subject, through the columns of your journal,' to call their at tention to the fact, aad the importance of the fact, that there is in existence an order known as "The Patrons of Hus bandry." This order is now only about three years old, and has already become a power in our country. It is spreading rapidly through the agricultural district?, and has now State organizations in Wis consin, Iowa, Minnesota, California, Illi nois, Tennessee, Missouri, Mississippi, South: Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, Ohio, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Kentucky. It contemplates the organi zation of agriculturalists, - horticultural ists, and all interested in the prosperity of the husbandman, in each rural dis trict, into "Granges" or Lodges, whose representatives shall constitute the State Granges and the representatives of the State Granges constitute the National Grange. The headquarters of the Na tional Grange is, for the present, at Washington City. The. location of the headquarters of the State Grange, for this State, will, in all probability, be at Grand Island or Columbus. ' . r . The . objects of the order is not only improvement, . ia husbandry, but to, increase the general happiness, wealth and prosperity of the country, as well as to elevate tha husbandman to his proper position in . society. Agriculture ia the basis cf all our varied interests : alt oth er associations draw their sustenance' from it, as it is improved and enlarged a corresponding prosperity follows ; with- I out it our country wodd be a barren wate. The necessity for organisation is apparent. The producer receives but a ; small portion of the amount paid by the consumer, the balance falls into the hands of those wha subsist by buying, j selling, transporting, subdividing, &c. To protect themselves against these mo nopolies and abuses, producers are or ganizing into "granges ' to diminish the cost of exchanging their several pro ducts, that they themselves my receivo the reward of their own labor. All other classes or interests have their se scrct orders for mutual, protection. The husbandman has had none ; they now proposo to place' themselves where they properly belong, by accomplishing a sys tematic organization throughout-the United State?. . "Among the advantages which may be derived from the order are eystematio arrangements for procuring and dissemi nating, iu thatnpst expeditious minner, information relative to crops, : demand and supply prices, markets, and trans portation throughout the country ; also for the purchase and exchange of stock, seeds, and desired varieties of plants and trees, and for the purpose of pro curing help at home or from abroad, and situations for persons seeking em ployment ; also for ascertaining and testing tho merits of newly-invented farming implements and those not in general use, and for detecting and ex posing those that are unworthy, and for protecting,- by all available means, the farming interests from fraud and decep tive combinations of every kind." It is also a social organization secur ing intimate, social relations; extending acquaintances ; advocating education by cultivating and enlarging the mind ; beautfying homes and farms, and giving to agriculture the attractions nature de signed for her. Women are admitted to full membership, and their co-eperation is solicited, ; because with her aid, suc cess is more certain, and in her society no , lessons will be learned but those of purity and truth ; her interests are also thoroughly interwoven in the ebjeets of the organisation. ? r " ' To refer again to the advantages of the association, in effecting exchanges, or in the purchase or Bale of articles through the organization, I will here state, that one county -in Illinois, last season saved fffteen thousand dollars in tho price of farm tools alone. Plows, that before cost from twenty-two to twenty-eight dollars are purchased by tho association at from fifteen to nine teen dollars. Other artiolea in the same preportion. So with trees and plants from the Nurseries. Produce ' will like wise reach the markets at lower rates ; the producer can save to himself the im mense sums the consumer pays over to the middle man, who makes more clear Erofit on the products he scarcely ever andles, than the farmer who produced it. - -.- I will not extend thia artio'o further only to say, that all political or religious discussions aro entirely ignored by the association, and that the more extended the order becomes the more useful it will be to all the members, and I would hope that the people of Hall county will take a lively interest in an organization of so niuoh importance to them. .' The first Grange in this State was of ganized a few days ago in Harlan county, and it is very desirable to have enough termed to eetab luh a State Grange at aa early day. Any further information upon the sub ject can bo ottaiaed by addressing O. H. Kelly, Secretary of the National Grange, Washington, D. C, or J. II. Painter, Alma City, Harlan county, Nebraska.
