CITY , .TnuiryT2& On the morning of the 23d of Septembert 18G3 , I first set foot on Nebraska fid Biitern miles below this town. I had come up the Missouri in the steamer Emily from St. Joseph , then the near * est railroad point t3 Omaha. After ivo-days paddling through the Big faddy we grounded on a Band-bar , whore , after waiting two days , I was eicued by a team sent from Nebraska Oity , by order of Mr. W. B. Hibbard , ssistant division superintendent of he then Pacific telegraph. At the Ime I landed in ' 63 , this was a bust ing busy little city , contiinia about he same population as Omaha and re garded by many as the foremost rival o the present Nebraska metropolis ? en years later , on my second visit , I ound Nebraska City s dly demoral- zed by the loss of the overland trade , which had formerly becu the mainstay f her merchants aud hud been entire- y cut off by the construction of the Tnion Pacific. The town on my last visit in 1873 had a cilapidued ap- > earanco , very much Ilka snmo of the Id Virginia towns at tha close of the war. I was much gratified on land- n. here again to day to note a marked mprovement. Although Nebraska Jity has not kept pace with Omaha and Lincoln in growth , she is a solid hriving town and has every prospect of becoming an important trade con- re in the near future. Otoe county one of the moat densely populated and best cultivated counties in Nebraska and the farmer ) ' trade af- 'ord Nebraska Ci y merchants a steady and lucrative source of profit. There is aho considerably manufac turing done here now , and just as soon as the short link between Ne braska City and Plattsmonth is completed - , pleted , and direct railway communi cation is eitubliahtd batwoen O'nnba aud Southern Nebr.isVa , the mills of this place will afford an abundant sup ply of excellent flour for Omahi , and the orchards of 0oo will supply her market wuh luscious fruit of every variety. Through the kindness of myl'rienJ , Postmaster Paul Schminko , I made the acquaintance of mauy prominent business and professional men of Nebraska Oity , and renewed some of the old acquaintances I had made years ago in the legislature * The old ri valry between Omaha and Nebraska 3hy balng a thing of the past , every body I met seemed anxious for the early completion of the trunk line and closer cimmerciftl intercourse with Omahb. In my rambles through the city I found almpst universal gratifica tion expressed over the election of Gen. Van Wyck. The general and his estimable lady are very popular , and with the exception of half a dozen menwhose lofty aspirations are some what checked by the general's elec tion , all seem to rejoice over the selec tion made by the legislature , and on every hand the event is regarded as the forerunner of great things for Nebraska City. While talking over old times with Dr. Bo wen , who played a very promi nent part in the early political history of Nebraska , the doctor Informed me that he was the first man that put the cenatorial bee into Gen. Van Wyck's bonnet It was way back several years before the war , when plain M < s ter Van Wyck came on a stumping tour for the "free soil whi s" to the sparsely settled territory of Nebraska. ' If you will come out here , take up a land claim and settk ( with us , we will make yon United States senator some of these dy"said Dr. Bnwcn to Mr. Van "Wyck , little dreaming that his proposal would be accepted , and in the course of human events his extravagant promise realized. There was cons.derable stir and bustle all day in preparing for the re ception tendered to General and Mrs. Van Wyck by the citizens of Otoe county , an event which seemed to create a good deal of commotion among upper and lower tendom. The im pression had gone forth that this waste to be an aristocratic affair , and the committee of arrangements found it necestary to issue a manifesto in the afternoon paper , aseuriug the people that this was no swallow tail coat dres parade , and that white-chokers and kid cloves wore not essential for those who desired to take pirt in the ova tion. Central hotel , where the re ceptiou took place , was jammed full of people by 8 o'clock , many of them sturdy , horny-fisted farmers from the neighborhood , who wanted to eh ke a live senator by the hand , and give ex pression to their joy over the general's election. All tne best and most infl ential citizens , accompanied by theit ladies , were also on hand , some oi them in very tony toilets. Many dis tinguished Nrbr&skans from v&riout parts of. the state hd come to attend the reception. Among these were Ex-Grov. Fnrnas , ex Congressman MV jors , Attorney-General Dilworth , Re * Kent C&reon , of the University , unc quite a number of members of the leg- ulaturt > , from both houses. A special train with 138 citizens of Nemaha county , came in daring the evening from Brownville. 1'he committee of arrangements , consisting of Wm. E Hill , chairman , P ul Schminke , Anton Zimmprcr , J. W. WhldemUb , Dr. Campbell and I. A. Flemming , had m&do ample pre parations for the event ; and the re ception committee , composed ol Mr. and Mrs. Senator H. F. Cady , Representatives Ransom , Dr , N. B. Larah , J. W. Pearman , Davlc Brown , 0. W. Seymour and Jamas W , Reed , were in attendance to provide for the proper reception of tha quests. " At abnut 8 o'clock Gen. and Mrs. Van Wyck arrived at the hotel from their residence in the country , and were greeted by the Heltcan brass band , who played "Hailto the Chief. " The reception committee attended the senatorial party to the parlnrs , aud in a very short time the doors were opened , and the reception proper bo gan. The ladies and their gentle men escorts passed through the parlor first , and as ech couple came for ward Hon. John 0. Watson presented them to Senator Van Wyck , who in turn introduced his wife , who stood on his left For over an hour the steady stream of humanity pissed through the parlor , ard for each the general and his lady had some kinder or p'eaeant ' word. Mrs. Von Wyck , a lady whose charming manners h ive won the hearts of everybody who has met her , wa onore than ever radiant , la one hand she hejd au exquisite bo- q-iet ( < f choice flowers , which get off hurelegint toilet and rendered her ex tremely fascina ing. At the conclu sion ot the hand-shaking General and Mrs. Van Wycfc repaired to the large" hall , which had been decorate ! with a monstrous national flagupon which w s inscribed : "Charu.8 H Van Wyck , United States Senator. " After mounting the platform erected f jr the speaker * , Hon. J. C. Watson intro duced Judge J. F. Kmnoy , who de livered the address of we'cimo After complimenting the Otoe delega tion npon their steadfast support of the general , Judge Kmnev pidan el oquent tribute to Hon Joseph Holl- man , the democratic member from Dakota county , who h d come to the ti ie'j r acue of Gon. Van Wyck dur ing the crisii , when the fl 'P iras being mauo to Paddock. In doaitig , Judgd Kmnoy , aaid : "Your elec'ion as senator is not the result of any accident or mere good fortuue. It was secured , first by the efforts of the delegation from this couutry , supplemented by the support of a lirge number of leading men of both the political parties ; eecnnd , it was confidently believed by those who voted for you that none of the candi dates had more ability or could be more useful in the national senate in the advancing of > ho welfare of thie jta'o than yourself ; third , npon all leading state questions of internal poli cy you had become fully identified wl h the people aud in full sympathy with their interests ; fourth , your public life was a guarantee to the men wheel el ctoi you that you were no trimmer , bui a man of positive convictions with cour.'ge to contest and maintain them ; fi th , your acknowledged popularity at home , where I am bold to say you have won the full confidence of the people , and where you have always been elected when a cindidate ; sixth , a brilliant record in the army as hh is and will be , other things being equal , a performance for the other over the civilian While yon , sir , and Senator Saunders - ers sre in the senate the outlook for our atnte is indeed promising In per feet accord with your brother senator may not all cherish the hope that your senator ! 1 life will reflect honor npon those who elected you and add additional lustre to the fair fame of the utate WB so much adnine. General Van Wyck m de the follow ing response : "For this renewed greeting accept my hoartful thanks. However de voted I may be to your interest and the interest of Nebraska , I t ever can discharge the obligation Imposed by my election to the highest position In your gift. Grateful as I mast be to a generous an.l confiding psople In the state , yet to the people of the county of Otos and Nebraska City , am I indebted ba- yund measure in making it possible that a citizen of their own county could receive this distinguished honor. From the day of my election to the constitutional convention until now it has been cause for pride that although an ardent republican , I have been supported , aud several times elected , by democratic votes. And In this , the greatest and latest triumph , this which Is your triumph as well as mine , in the decisive moment , when , by cer tain well-laid shemo % victory was nearing Senator Paddock's banner , a grand democrat , one of | 'the noblest Rnmana of them all , ' General Hull man , of Dakota , the bosom friend of Judge Kiuney , sprang into the breach br changing his vote from Judge Dandy to the candidate of Otoe cointy , sUid the tide , which resulted in the victory over which we are re joicing to-night. It is a matter of mutual congratula tions that in this election there are no entangling alliances , no p'edges ex cept th' so implied in generous grati tude , so that in the transfer from the senate chamber of Nebraska to the senate chamber of the United S ates , and entering upjn that higher field of duty , that all species of property , all classes , all sections may be alike re spected ; that no one interest shall be promoted at the sacrifice of others , but in the spirit of justice and fair play , the right of all mny be conserv ed , believing the anatomy of the body politic , like the human body , teaches that tt is to the injury of all the mem- burs that one should thrive at the ex pense of the many , and that no limit cm be injured without a shock to the entire body. Among the youngest , we are by no means the leaat of the states , having already left our position at the foot oi the list and passed several of the old er sisters. When other decades shall have gone , with the impulse of out bound wo will have movedstill further upward and on ward. If it be true that "things produce vrhat they contain , " who dare prophe sy where the state will be in 1890 and then In 1900 ? Human desliny seems independent of and above human control , some thing beyoud ourselves givc-s it , firs ! life , then extension. Among statei and nations how many more oi wrecks would have desolated th < shore of time if there were not ii human crisis 'something even strongei than the men who appear to give them the will of the event itself be yond that an overruling , impelling porer. A few years ago the dark shadow o human tlavery , moved by human hands in blood and gloom , was near' ing the border of this fair land ; the avenger met and bade it back , so tha to day , by river course and oper prairie , the SUP. in his course gladden : only the homes of freemen. Thus everywhere on the pathway ol nations how often have the peopl < 'bullded better than they knew. ' The great strength of this republii is m the source of all power the pee pie. The legislature and congress wll be wise and great as the people by ed ucatlon and thought may themselves bo wise and great. The stream will seldom rise beyond itt source. In the generous rivalry with older states we are not handicapped with the Weight of old traditions and abmes or the scars of excresences removed , but as a young giant with clean limbs , .we wnter the race. In a measure we can help to make it as we will it If we ksep cloae to truth , right and charity , then hope will come 'as our guiding star , and success beyond hu man calculation will be ours. Poets tell us tint the clouds assume the form of the country over which they pass , so men will sometimes move themselves upon the epoch and event over which they pass. Wash ington did not create the revolution he was not its inspiration he only rep resented and was inspired by it. May we not hupa that human thought , as it passes over and abova this grind countryof -tho west be impressed by 'it ? grandeur of river and prairie , its greater grandeur of fertility and proeuctioa ba im- urcued by convictions and hope * of acquiring something of their shapes and move with them into-plana and policies for the future May we in dulge the hope if not the realization.

BATTLE IN BASUTOLAXD. Gpeclal Dispatch to The Bee. LONDON , January 29 1 a. m. A dispatch from Durban says that further fihttpg between the B 'era ' and the colonials under Gen. Colley. begun to day. The fire of the artif. lory was distinctly heard tt a telegraph station , which is within four miles of the Eceno of action. The struggle is supposed to ba between Gen Oclley and nn advanced force of the Boew , which ho u-tt't have met or overtaken after taking Mount P sppct. Tte wrather is improving , and it is undur- etood that Gen C 'Hey wdl push oper ations On account of their recent defeats and lo-aes the Boera ro said to be much disheartened THE BOERS REINFORCED. The Boers have received reinforce ments from Heidelberg , and it is thought nny yet be able to make some serious resistance to the mtrch of the colonials through the Trans vaal. GENERAL COLLEY CONFIDENT. Later intelligence from the scene of yesterday's battle says the firing on the part of the Boers has almost ceased , and that General Colley is confident of a decided success. Should this prove true , he will li.ive before him the task of relieving Pre toria , Standator , Potchefstrom and .JWeesulstrom , which are closely in vested by the Boers , before the bulk of hia work will be over. Gen. Colley is understood now to admit the genuineness of the letter sent by him to Cape Town aathoritiaa before the present war began , advis ing the military occupation of the Transvaal , which letter fell into the hands of the Boers , atd was published by them in Dutch , as a justification ol their rising , but Bays it was so mutila ted in translation that Its true sense was destroyed. THE BRITISH SUSTAIN DEFEAT. Last evening Hon. Hugh Childers , secretary of state for war , said in re ply to a question concerning the re ported butle yesterday , between the colonial force , under Gen. Colley , and the Boers , that the government wat in receipt of later intelligence which somewhat altered the aspect of affairs. It is asserted in the morning dispatches , he said , th-U an attack had buen made by Gun. Colley upon a pass within the Transvaal border , which has been re pulsed. The number of casnaltiei was as yet unknown , but they wert reported to be very heavy. 1ATER CONFIRMATION. Gen. Colloy's repulse is fully con firmed by still later dispatches. He is now busy entrenching hia camp three miles from Laiugsnak , and wil' there wait reinforcements. The Fifty-sixth re iment suffered severely , and had it not been that the artillerj fire irorn the colonial batteries fright ened the Boers' horses , Ge.i. Colley'i losses would have been still greater Much excitement prevails here ovei the news , and many people profess t ( see In It a sort of prophecy of dis * 9tei to English arms and interests every where. A dispatch from Durban says thai an officer just in from the front re ports that the British troops' left win ) rested within six relies of the enemj'j position. Gen. Colley then movoc to the right with the Fifty-eight ! regiment and the fighting naval brig ade , and the royal artillery with cav airy In the rear dismounted. Th < Fifty-eighth stormed the Boers' posi tion. The Boers then opened fir- - on the Fifty-eighth , and the latter re pulsed them. The Boors were strong ly reinforced , and gave a terrible fire when the fighting became general with desparate losses on both sides.
