Florence Courier.
This spicy sheet makes its appearance
on our table regularly. Its able Editor,
L. II. Lathbop, Esq., understands the
wants of the Territory nt large, anil
Florence in particular, well, and handles
the Omaha subject with gloves otT. We
say suc-cass attend him.
IST" We nre informed by A. II. Gra
lcr, Esq., Agent ol the Western Stage
Company, that hereafter they will run a
tri-weekly mail between this city and
Omaha, independent of the Fontenelle
mail, if it fails to make its proper time.
This is right, the continually growing
population of Bellevuc demands it, and we
are well satisfied that the Company will
not loose anything by the arrangement.
JSS We would call the attention of our
readers to the prospectus of ' The Daily
Globe,' published in Washington, I). C,
and advise all who wish to keep themselves
posted in Congressional news to subscribe
at once for that paper, as it is the official
paper of Congress, and iui news can there
fore be relied on.
, The Town of Excelsior.
This place has been recently laid out
on the west side of the Platte river, and
is about twenty-five miles from here. It
has a commanding and beautiful situation
on the Platte, in the great bend, and from
its location must become a place of con
siderable trade. The country is settling
up rapidly, and Excelsior will be the
county seat. The proprietors design
making extensive improvements in the
spring. Thfcre is an abundance of tim
ber, and a saw mill will be erected. It
is due west from Omaha, and a ferry at
this place will enable settlers to reach
our city nnd the Missouri river by a much
shorter route than at present. It has our
best wishes.
Defending the ftouih.
. The New Orleans Bulletin, suggests
the following method of defending tho
South. " The best way of defending the
Tights of the bouta, that paper says, Ms to
tnake a vigorous and extended assault up
on the old fields and dilapidated fences.
The enemy is sure to enter at every gap,
and to lie concealed in every brier patch
and acre of weeds he may discover. To
route him, horse, foot and dragoons, it is
necessary to set the plow and the spade
going, aud then to overwhelm him with
mountains of manure! Nothing like ma
nure for the righs of the South, and the
expulsion of its enemies. They can't
stand it at all. The ' Virginia and Ken
tucky Resolutions are nothing in compari
son with it. They may bo attacked iu
front and rear, nnd terribly shattered ; but
muck from the swamps and deep plowing
with a plenty of it, will prove invulnerable.
Cotton bales are but gossamer in potency,
placed beside heaps of muck.'
New Invention.
An Albany journal speaks of a machine
the invention of Messrs. C. V. N. Smith,
and James M. Clemens, of Virginia,
which embraces a locomotive, capablo of
taking a train of cars loaded with material
which, as it proceeds, arranges the sur
face of the roadway perfectly, and lays
the ties at proper intervals. The iron and
chains are then put upon the cross-ties by
the machine, all of which is effected, and
the road completed, at the rato of about
ten feet a minute. The entire length of
the machine is uljout sixty-two feet, and
will arrange any guage of road, or any
length of railroad iron. Six thousand feet
of railroad per day can be made, Five
men, eaya the report, will do as much in
a day, with this machine, as a hundred
will do without it.

The rapid and nnpiecivlenli'd Increase of the

evidence that our etl'oits to furnish a fu st class

whose interests it is especially devoted. Its
completeness In every department of Domes

A Hairs of llaltimoro Is ait universally admit
ted, that II has become a necessity wllh all
persons lining business with our rily, whilst

without a superior as a fireside journal.
The present large circulation, with a con
tinuation of the rapid accession to its sub
scription list since the 1st of January, aver
aging NEARLY ONE HUNDRED PER DAY,
w arrants us In the expectation that before the
close of the year il will reach an unexampled
circulation.
In order to render the Weekly American
s'ill more acceptable to its numerous readers,
wc propose during the present year to add
largely to its attractive ipialitles, and Iu doing
so shall spare neither labor nor expense to
keep t In advance of all Its cotcuiorarifs,An a

LITERARY AND MISCELLANEOUS.
We propose to greatly improve this depart
ment of the Weekly American, which will
hereafter embrace the productions of the
ablest and most popular world-renowned
WRITERS OF FICTION,
with Literary selections that cannot fail to
give universal satisfaction. It will also con
tain original and select articles on Science
and the Arts, with Miscellaneous Reading
that will be both instructive and entertaining.

is another great feature of the Weekly Amer
ican, iu which we nre sure its readers for the
past year will bear witness to its being with
out a superior among the Weekly papers of
the country. Receiving regularly full files of
European journals, our compendium of Foreign
Intelligence is mado up from the fountain
head, and Is furnished in interesting detail,
with a care In selection that lias given univer
sal satisfaction.
THE DOMESTIC NEWS,
embracing the affairs of the whole eounlrv, ns
well as of our own Slate aud the Local Mat
ters of the City, is also a feature of the Week
ly American that cannot fail to give to its
new subscribers, as it has to its old friends,
the most universal satisfaction. The many
hundred copies weekly mailed by our city
read-rs to their friends in the country, and
absent relatives, is an evidunce of its great
superiority In this respect.
THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
wili hereafter receive special attention, and a
column will always be found on our fourth
page containing a variety of useful and valu
able Information to the 'Farmer. It will em
brace original nnd selected essaya from the
most able and experienced writers.
THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT
has obtained a character for completeness
and accuracy not surpassed by any other pa
per In the Union. As a basis of this asser
tion, it may bo stated that at many Hour
mills, storeu, aud distilleries, bo much reli
ance Is placed on its market reports, that
sales of grain and other produce are made in
advance, prices being, by mutual agreement,
based upon the quotations given in its com
mercial review of the Baltimore markets.
It also contains a regular report of the mar
kets of Philadelphia and New York, with the
latest reports of the Cattle markets of Balti
more and all the Northern citica.
