, Tho Territorial lload, running from the
riotte Hivcr to Dakota, for which there
was on appropriation of fc30,0(K) by Con
gress, has Wen in part located, nt least
through Sarpy ami Douglas counties. To
iho very capable, alio nnd efficient man
ner, in which the Commissioner, Mr.
George It. Sites, sent here by the Depart
ment of the Interior nt Washington, to lo
cate this road, has discharged his duties,
the pooplo owo much. Mr. Sites boing
nn Engineer himself, with experience suf
ficient to warrant success in a matter of
this kind, has withal paid that close, per
nonal, nnd searching attention, to tho loca-
tionof the routo, that the result is only
what we couid expect from our personal
knowledge of his excellent sense and good
judgment. Commencing ut tho Plutte
River at Larimer City, on tho third bench
of land, high and dry at all seasons of the
year; thence north in almost a tangent to
the western limits of Hellenic; thence up
a small valley just on the western confines
of Bellevue, he has taken the Mud Creek
valley until near Omaha, he approaches
the city with the slightest down grade;
thus shortening the distance from Platto
river to Omaha on the usual route, some
nineteen miles, to about fourteen and a
half on the new line; and besides the great
advantage gained in distance in the new
route, it is an easy, gentle grade, that has
an incalculable advantage over the one now
traveled. We do not wish to reflect upon
any one, but this much, in justice we must
say, we are astonished that this route was
never before discovered by the many who
Lave run over almost the same territory,
for the purpose of establishing a road. We
repent, Mr. Sites justly deserves much
credit from all concerned, for the efficient
manner, in which he has discharged his
most important official mission, to Nebras
ka Territory.

A Few Suggestions for 1'arents.
There is in every human heart, k
Some, not completely barren part,
Where sreds of truth, aad love miht'grow,
And flowers of generous virtu blow.
To plant, to watch, to water there,
This be our duty and our care.
The teacher who looks around upon the
group of immortal minds, confided to her
care, feeling that her influence and in-
struct ions may exert an important influ
'ence upon their character, happiness, and
usefulness for life, perchance their desti-
ny for eternity, iiua consider the re
sponsibility of her position, to be a mighty
one.
Pleasant indeed is the 'companionship
, f thiklhoud. They tome to iu with their
sportive innocence, their confiding love,
- their boundless trust, ever unsealing the
deep fountains of our afrectiotis, and call-
inir forth our wannest lovo and sympathy,
even when compelled to renrove thain for ,
their fault, and to condemn thoir errors,
Not light is the task to hush each day with
gentle hand, the throb of every unruly
passion-each day with cheerful brow to
curb every wayward impulse, and desire
and invest with a charm that shall recall
all wandering thoughts, the lesson, to them
oft weariful and dull - And so often
when tho work is well' begun, tho sway
ing of a green branch in tho summer's
breeze, tho jnerry song of a happy bird,
comes winning them from their task, with
veguo yearnings for like freedonij
We have all been children once, and
have known their restlewness, nod we
hove never "forgotten those, who, amid
our childish foibles, ' strove to awaken us
to tho dignity of our immortal nature, the
vnlue of that miud which elevates man
lao Lrtites, und tho importance of
early disciplino to develop and enlarge its
capneities. I low patiently tho faithful
teacher watches for tho first dawnings of
those germs of intellect, which she feels
must result, in the deep slruglings of the
jmn0st soul, and how anxiously ahe watch-
cs tncjr oarly growth.
Tho fixed thought, tho concentrated ef
fort, tho close attention, the laudable pride
in success, she greets with joy, as sure ev
idenecs of expanding mind ; ana once
truly uwakened, each day adds to its force
and energy, to drive away the lazy, lin
gering mists that have so long obscured
its brightness.
If I have ever experienced one hour of
unalloyed pride and plcusure, of deep,
fervent, thankfulness and ; happiness, U
has been when those who had gone forth
from my instructions and care, to situa
lions of honor and trust, have returned,
earnostly expressing their gratitude for
that unwearied effort, that had al last
aroused them from that lethargy, into
which ignorance ever sinks her votaries ;
and thus fitted them for tho discharge of
faithful and honorable duties. And I
wish not to experience hours of deeper
humiliation, sadness and sorrow, than
when at the close of a term of school, I
have been compelled to admit there had
been those under my care, who had de
rived compariiively little benefit from my
instructions. At such moments, I have
wished a voiuu might go forth to every
fireside in our laud, that should awaken
the minds of parents to' the
importance
and necessity of aiding the teacher hi her
arduous duties.
What can be tho influence of any teach'
er in comparison with the mothcr,-who
with anxious solicitude, watches the first
dawnings of the infant mind, or the father
who with loving pride caught the first ac
cents of the lisping tongue? Well do
know that same love, pride and earnest
solicitude, follows them not only throng
the helpless hours of infancy, but with mony
sad forebodings through all their dreamy
and restless childhood and youth; and with
many a fervent prayer, too, lest they be
lured by the deceitful glare of fleetin
pleasures, the poison of"passionate delight
and principle, dignity and purity, be
lobt
by yielding to idle and enervated habits.
But I think they too often satisfy them
selves with furnishing the means of in
struction for their children, and absorbed
in their own engrossing cares, neglect to

Well do I remember, that the knowl
edge that a widowed mother's only hope
for earthly happiness, would be materially
affected by the improvement and success
of her child her daily interest in my ad
vancement, and the dewy lustre of her eye
as it rested upon me in approval and love,
when unusually surcessful, had the power
to awaken all tho enthusiasm of my nature;
and a care that they should ever be in their
l''-ce the proper time, a few daily in-
qtiiries a constant watchfulness, I believe
to be very important to all. Are compo-
m "
sitions required, a tew words expressive
of their interest, and pride in their succes,
and a requett to see neatly written copies
of them, will secure more care than many
words from their teacher. Is declama
tion required, a little interest in the selec
tion of a suitable piece, a little assistance,
with the firmly expressed injunction, that
they should yield ready and implicit obe-
dience to the requirements of school, are, to
both teacher and scholar, of incalculable
- value; and such assistance I believe to be
necessary iu order to awaken that glow of
enthusiasm and pride, of so much impor-
- J tauce to the proper development of char
acter. Once let the better feelings of the
mind and heart be fully awakened. Once
let them be fully established in the right

nd my friends in particular, my reason
. . '
for resigning the oflioe of Register, to
Inch I have heen legally elected.
Tho people nre aware that I held the
office ex-otticio, of County Clerk, and was
the only specified officer of the county who
was autiioiizeu iy law, to open tne poii-
hooks of the election; and with the nssis-
tnnce of two disinterested house-holders,
was required to canvass the vote.
election, 1 called to .ny assi..r..,ce Mr.O.
Colestock and L. II. Clark, Lsq., for each
of whom I httvo great respect, for their
manly bearing and their unexceptionable
character as citizens, and tho latter for his
pgal attainments.
Upon opuntnir the roturns from the three
prcciuts of this county, it was immediately
iHcovcred that thoso from Cuming City
precinct were not full, for the reason thut
the poll-book did not accompany them as
the law required; there being only an ab
stract stating who was voted for, and the
number of votes received . by each, sent
from Cuming , City precinct without the
poll-book as the law expresily directs.
Could I as a sworn officer of the law-
could we as honest and faithful canvassers
of the returns of the recent election, permit
this undoubted illegality to pass unnoticed?
Most cetainly not! 1 for one have too
much respect for the oath I have taken, to
perform the duties of my ollice according
to law, to permit so gross a violation ot
the stutute to pass unuoticed. If the peo
ple think I have no more respect for my
oath than that, I can inform them that they
are mistaken in the man. ,1 will do what
believe to be my duty, taking the law for
my
guide; I believe I did do my duly and
do rig'At when I threw out the Cuming
did
City returns for its acknowledged illegali
ty; and I feel a conscientiousness that legal
and impartial men will justify my course.
In support of my position 1 have only to
refer tho people to the well known fact,
that two yenrs ago the Desoto returns were
made with the very same deficiency and
the Territorial canvassers threw the whole
vote out of the canvass, for the reason of
the illegal returns; and their action was
afterwards approved by the Congress of
the United states, as will be seen by refer
ence to the contested case of Bennet vs.
Chapman, which is well known to have
been made and decided upon the illegal

soto returns for the reason that the judges I
and clerks used more words iu making
their certificate to the correctness of tho
riMiirwilr Ihnn ivn Inwl rlnurn in Ihp fnrm
or the statute. I asked any candid, unpar
tiul man if a poll-book ought to be declared
illegal and thrown away because the clerks
used the following words, viz: "We certify
the above to be a correct list of the per
sons who voted at aid election," instead
of the following, viz: "Certified by usi

it mokes them more perfect if possible.
Another objection was made to the Desoto
poll book, which though more serious it
may appear, I could not think ought to
destroy them end cause them to be thrown
away as illegal. ; The objection was that
the Desoto poll-book was not returned
within the lime prescribed by law, which
uses these worJs: "securely sealed and
enclosed, shall wiihm three days thereat
