HE NRw TERRIToRy OF NEBRASKA.
The secretary Of war has recommended
the organization of new territorial go
vernmenl TO be called Nebraska, extend
ing TO the base OF the Rocky Mountains.
Mr.. Douglas Of Illinois gave notice Of the
introduction of bill carrying out The sug !.
gestion of the Secretary, from whose re-
port we make The following extract, de-
scriptive of that region which is soon to
form one of the United States of America.
The immediate velleys OF the bead
streams of the Arkansas, the Platte, and
the Yellow Stone rivers, have much rich
and valuable land The Platte or Ne
braska, being the centre stream leading
into, or from the great South Pass, would
properly furnish name 10 the territory,
which propose suggesting to be erected
into territorial government in connec-
ton with and preliminary to, the extension
in that direction of our military posts. |
would confine the Nebraska territory to
our undisputed possessions on this side OF
the Rocky Mountains. It's boundary line
would commence at the mouth of the Kan
sas, and run up the Missouri river to the
Runningwater river, and would pursue
that stream 10 the head of IFS northern
branch and thence due west to the Wind
river chain From this point running
southwark, the line would continue along
the Wind river range, and the main chain
of the Mountains, to the head of the Ar
kansas, following that stream to the mouth
Of the Pawnee Fork, would pass by the
heads of the Neosha and Usage rivers.
again to the mouth of the Kansas.
The eastern section of The region en-
braced by these boundaries from the Mis-
souri, river westward for two hundred and
| fifty miles, is of great agricultural beauty
and facilities, thickly timbered on the nu-
merous tributaries of the Kansas, Usage
and Neosha rivers, and in fertility equal
to the best lands in Missouri. From the
limit of this fertile portion westward FOL
the space of four hundred miles, the coun.
try is entirely covered with rich grasses
which improve in quantity and quality vi
to the snow of the mountains.
The limits of this territory include thS
extreme head of navigation of the AR
kansas, all the good lines of communica
ton with California, the road from GU
frontier to the Mexican boundary and San
Ia Fa, and also an excellent and more di
rect pass TO Oregon, discovered by recen
exploration; about one hundred and fiji,
miles southwark of the great south pass"

only to the whole democratic party, but Il
is conceded that large portion Of the
wings, also, have announced their ,appro'
baton of the measure. As we predcted'
nine months ago, there is scarcely Puo-
lie man left who opposed it. i has swept
away nearly all who resisted T. Mf.
Wright is almost q solitary example o.
success against its infuence-thougn MS
objections were conditional and quallled;
and his great talents, integrity OF prlncl-
ple, and popular character, were PrePon,,
dera,;no with those who knew him and
loved him. But Mr.. Clay himself, alter
fiourishing through various changes OF
opinion, from opposition TO personal APP
probation, then back to uncompromislng
opposition again, was, with even large
norton Of the wings in its favor, finally
horn down and crushed by it. With all
these facts and results forcing themselves
upon the mind, how is il possible for the
IntelIigencer to say "that the country has
not intended what, in effect, il had de-
clared % How can it assert that such a
decision is for the "spoliation of neigh
boring republics revolted territories {!
How dare II affirm /" that the majority for
the immediate annexation candidate has
been obtained by delusion and fraud r
The people have honestly and emphatl-
cally wonounced their appreciation of a
great measure, which was submitted 10
their decision by all parties. Their Judg-
menl is final. There is no appeal. They
decided upon it with view TO all Its at
tending circumstances, and to all its pro.
bable consequences. Texas is not re-
volted territory" it is an independent re.
pubic-as much so as Mexico itself. Nc
wrong is meant or intended to Mexico,
Annexation can afford no cause for com
plaint-no just ground for war. Neither
the ''voice from Mexico" nor the voice o
the Intelligencer, will prevent the steady
prosecution of the measure of annexation
to a final contamination. 1t is the dupe o
its own bad counsels. 1t has most effec
tually misled and deceived its friends-i
seems now determined to end by deceiv
ing itself. Young Hickory.

THE ATMosPHERE.-T atmosphere
certainly is d wonderful substance; one of
the most extraordinary with which we are
acquainted; generally deemed invisible, it
yet forms the most beautiful and magnif-
cent coored object we know, the blue sky.
So thin and attenuated as to give rise to
the proverh, blight as air. it yet exerts
an enormous pressure on the various boz
dies on the surface, being, in its entire
mass. as heavy as globe of lead sixty
miles in diameter; and when In rapid
motion; possessing force at momentum
which is irresistible. Although we see
nothing around US, yet the air is every
where present, and is the most universally
diffused substance in nature. 1t peneirates
into every recess, however narrow the en-
try; occupies every space in or about the
earth that is not occupied by something
else; insinuates itself into and fills up the
cavities which exist more or less in all
solid bodies, animate or inanimate; and,
whenever any substance is removed, rush
es in on all sides, and occupies the space
thus left vacant This apparent nothing
contains several different substances, all
constantly and actively engaged in impor-
tant operations at the surface of the earth,
adapting It for the abode of living beings,
plants, and animals. Aud so necessary
is it to the existence of the latter, that
mankind use it abop. twenty-five thousand
times every day, and cannot exist without
it above one or two minutes. THIS SUBJ
tie agent is the Medium of heat, light aud
sound. It is by an ingredient of the at
mosphere that we procure artificial light
and heat, without the means of producing
4 which, mankind could never have emerged
from the Savage state. BY its powers of
rejecting light and dispensing it in all di-
rections, it enables us to perceive objects
though they are not Illuminated by the d.
rect light of the sun. The atmosphere is
the medium by which the heat of the sun,
which falls so unequally on different parts
of the earth's sueface, is diffused over the
different regions, moderated in the burn
ing zones at the equator, and conveyed
north and south to enliven the desolate
countries araund the poles. BY its impe-
tus when in motion, it propels ships along
their liquid paths, thus giving rise to com.
Fnerce anu intercourse OetWeen sndlIOnS,
/ BY its property Of conveying sound, the
air raises man above the lower creation,
endows him with the pleasures and sym
pathies Of social being, and enables him
by cooperation, to rear those stupendou:
]. monuments of human knowledge and in
dustry which rise before rs on every side
Ills, altogether, one of the most wonderful
of natures works, and there are no sub
4 iects Of contemplation more interesting
Than the constitution Of this widely difiuset
agent, and the innumerable purposes Il
which it's applied in supporting the ex.
istenoe, and contributing to The welfare Q
animated beings.

WABASH AND ERIE CANAL.

1t will recollected that Congress- at its late session.

The committee propose several plans for the prosecu-
ton Of the work One is, for the State obtain loan
'to be negotiated the basis of the grant, pedgng the
proceeds thereof to the payment of it, Another plan
is "to give the grant a company upon what might be
deemed sufficient guarantee for the performance Of the
work" A third plan has by been suggested
hat the State should rely upon her citizens. her
