The fooling up of tho returns, of the three counties, show George V. Donne, of Burt co.. to he tho successful m m and it U with pleasure, in connection wi h this, we mention the fad, that the canvass for float, was conducted with most perfect fairness and gentlemanly condui t, on the pirt of both Donne and Clancy. It lms been o ir pleasure, to know the Hon. Win. Clancy, for the last four years j he was first a representative from Doug, las County, and then reflected, during which time, he most emphntically, favored the organization, of the Southern Election District, of Douglas co., (now Sarpy co.,) as hit voles upon the journul will show ; he also was a strong friend, and a greet auxiliay, in the movement to erect Sarpy County, in the third Legislature. hailing from Washington co., as Councilman that year. Sir William, you have fought a noble, bold, and manly battle, and though defeated (by Sarpy co., from where you had a right, to expect so much,) still con soling yourself with ihe thought, that re publics are ungrateful. We cannot take our leave of you, thus, without saying, that you still live, and will continue fresh and green, in the grateful recollection, of the people if Sarpy County. , In conclusion, of George W. Doane, the successful candidate, we but do jutice when we any, we are proud of him, as a Representative in part for Sarpy co. lie is a sound lawyer, an eloquent speaker, and a finished genllfnmn. lie has those qualifications, which in sl.ort, well fit him for the position he has so gnllantly won. The Atlantic Telegraph Snccesi- rul! We rxtrait the following from a pri vate letter, received to-day: " MrscATinc, Iowa, Aug. 0, 'oS.

The Niagara and Agamemnon, were to leave (Jueenstown on the 17th ult., for mid-ocean, to make a final attempt to lay the Atlantic Cable, and if the good cili lens of Muscatine have not been hoaxed, this gigantic enterprise has at last proved successful.

The spi t itself is not the best for a town site, but art and industry sometimes step in to tho aid of nature. It may be so in this rase. The present business part of thn town is situated near the lauding, on the only level street in the whole town, which is Main street. Tho bluffs on the south siJe of this street are quite abrupt ; on the north side the laud is more sloping and answers well for residences. Those who admire romantic beauty, or " nature in its savage loveliness," can have it here to their heart's content. Some of the hills and peeks rising out of the ravines and valiies will make the most splendid places for reiJences in the world, in due time with plenty of money. For two miles back from the Missouri River, the land is broken, so muuh so, that it could hardly be cultivated. This re gion, however, has th advantage of be ing well timbered. Just south of the town thera i a solid body of good hardwood timber, such as Walnut, Oak, Hickory, and Elm. Directly west of this broken limbered region, the country opens up into a beautiful prairie, unequaled for farming purposes in the whole territory. Its face is gently rolling with slopes long and gradual, hmce not subject to the washing process so common in many oili er parts of the territory. This region is already well cultivated. Farms are fenc ed and everything looks thrifty nud en- terprising. UK. -oiu tarm, wan m thousands of thrivii g fruit trees, would do credit to many of the older stales.

The Omaha Nebraskian states that Sarpy county has elected a delegation to the legislature, opposed to the removal of the Capitol ; and tauntingly asks, " What has become of the crusade, in regard to the removal V Hold ! Mr. Robertson, Sarpy county has done no such thing. The re moval or non removal of the Capitol was not exactly the question that entered into the canvass Most, and we think every one, of the candidates, asserted that they would leave that question with the people, and wheo the people favored it. they wuld vate for such a bill. This is the only tri bunal at which all such vexed questions should be settled, and we ore willing to bide its decisions. WLat rays our neigh bor? The Minnesota State Prison Utole lo catad at Winona.

Is this a coin cidence, or is there in horse-taming, as in the sarsaparilla business, an ' old ungual Dr. Jaocb, and another fellow i As I am well acquainted with the Ra rey family, I thought it would be interest ing to the public to have the above ques tion answered, and more particularly siuco there are several persons going about the country and trying to impose on the community by assuming the name of "Rarey," and professing to tea h their secret of subduing and educating that no ble animal, the horse, The Rarey Family." consists of four brothers, who hare been raised from boy hood in this community.

The oldest is Wm. H., who made the first discovery of the principles in the na ture of the horse that led to the perfla tion of the system which is now a-tonish- ins; the world. The second is Charles W., who is now teaching the system in the western part of this State. The third is Fredrick, who now lives on his farm, about two miles from this place. The fourth, and youngest, is John S., who, togeih r wit'i his oldest brother, Wm.

All seemed to enjoy themselves finely, and nothing occurred to mar, in the least, the pleasures of the occasion. Supper was serve in the second -story, by the Ladies, which reflected much credit upon their skill and liberality. The managers are entitled to much praise for providing such an agreeable entertainment, and the thanks of the participators, for the atten tion shown in endeavoring to make all happy.
