Nebraska Territory.

We have the best authority for stating
that the emigration to Nebraska is surpris-
ingly great. Trains of wagons may be
seen from day to day advancing upon that
Territory. The knowledge of its genial
climate and fertile soil, which has been
widely and rapidly diffused through the
agency of Col. Benton and the press, is
now producing its legitimate results
The men of small capital, but of strong
hearts and hands Injured to toll, who are
laudably ambitious for sitting beneath
their own vine and fig trees. and of max
ing homes Tor their wives and children,
are casting off the incubus of rent, and
are going into the new country, determin-
ed to elevate themselves from the position
of renters into the more secure and hon
orable one of land owners. Young men,
also, whose pole-stars are farm and a
wife, are rushing in with the speed of
hunters, for when they secure the former,
they will have better claims to ask for the
latter This advantage Nebraska prom
ises them, and they are availing them
selves of it with the utmost zeal.
1tis not alone from Missouri the col
umns proceed which are settling on
Nebraska. Kentucky and other adjacent
as well as proximate States, are pouring
streams into the reservoir Go ahead!
Missouri and Kentucky, and initiate the
providence and enegry of your fathers,
who advanced with bold strides on the
wilderness, undaunted by its pcrlis, and
transformed it into country Of orchards
and vineyards, and smiling homes and
heaven-pointing steeples. Garry on the
good work, and plant religion and civil
cation in the place Of human and material
savagery. You are adjured by cabal of
screaming hypocrites to keep aloof from
Nebraska. They cry out when you ap-
proach it, as if itwere the holy of holiest.
They put forward as a pretext the right
of thered man, but the real cause is be-
cause you cannot be introduced by ne
gro. The white man, forsooth, must on
ly enter into Nebraska by. the aid and
companionship of a black man, as if that
country were destined to be a mere slavery
nursery or an Indian preserve.
You must walk on tip toe when you
come in view of the boundaries of that
territory, and not with the firm and ad-
vancing stride of your ancestors. But it
is evident that you have not the fear of
that croaking cabal before your eyes, who
are trying to friyhten you away by flap
ping the shreds of an obsolete law in your
westward looking eyes. Be not afraid. -
The intrigues, of that official, who haun-
ted the wigwams of the Indians, to incite
them to murder you, will be exposed when
Congress meets.-.S Loais Uem. --

LSPEcIMENs--O Ourfrlend
Mr.. Cooper of the Oak Rancho, about six
miles from town, on the road to Canon
creek, called in our Office few days since
and presented US with some of the finest
specimens of vegetables we have yet seen
in the mountains. Amongst otherthings,
there was sample of large field of Tur-
nps, its weight twelve pounds. Some
beautiful red kidney potatos; fine read
ish; measuring nineteen inches in circum-
ference, he also assured us of having a
fine bed of drum head cabbage, one of
which as sample measured fourteen feet
in circumference He has also fine field
Of corn, samples Of which he brou sht US,
and certainly as large and any we have
seen, the ears were taken from stalk
thirteen feet seven inches in height. Those
travelling between here and Canon Greek,
will find it quite a treat to call and see Mr..
Cooper's fine garden and farm. s9iAss

Eg-In the tortuous and crooked policy
of public affairs, as well as in the less ex7
tensive, but perhaps more intricate lalboy-
rinth of private concers, there are Two
evils which must continue; to be as reme-
dilesc as they are unfortunate; they haveno
cure and their only palliatives are diff
denee and time. They are these-The
most candid and enlightened must give
their assent to probable falsehood, rsth-
er than to an improbable truth; and their
esteem to those who have a reputation, IN
preference to thosewho only deserve it.

Prospects of Rivals at Washington

The city is gradully assuming its met
ropolitan aspect. Members OF Congress are
splinkling in and passing through, and
everything gives indication OF the ap-
proach of Congress. Politics are reviv-
ing and politicians are beginning to man
euver and move for operations abroad
Prominent among matters and things is
the organization of the House Of Repre-
sentat'yes. The Speakership, Clerkship,
Doorkeeper, and who shall fill them and
the more subordinate places, are subjects
of discussion, .-s.-- t..s t-s-s -. e.
The prominent candidate for Speaker,
which is considered post of very high
rank, as it is certainly of the first impor-
tance, are Mr.. Disney, of Ohio, Mr.. Orr,
of South Carolina, and Mr.. Linn Boyd,
of Kentucky. The contest will be be-
tween the two first named, both of whom
are fitted for The place. The vote Of the
West and Northwest will be almost entire
ly concentrated upon Mr.. Disney, who
will get support also from other quarters,
while the Southern and other vote will be
divided between the others. 1tis more
chan probably that Mr.. Disney will be the
Speaker He is well fitted for the place,
has had much parliamentary experience,
and is man OF tirmness, talent and cul-
tiyation. The West and Northwest will
claim his selection, while as they receive a
disproportionate share of the hoaors, it
will not be Objectionable to any section of
the country. In this matter, the Admin
istration will take no part and will have
no candidate. Es. sH- S. a.-
Mr.. Forney is again in the ring for re-
election to the Clerkship. He will have
the advantage and at the same time, the
disadvantage of being in possession. Mr..
Snow, late member of Congress from
New York, will be formidable oppon-
ent. and there will be others. What the
combinations to be made will result in,
cannot be known, beyond the almost GER
tainty of Forney's defeat. He has friends,
but many enemies; too many for his sue
cess. .F~:l., .H
The Doorkeeper, which is the next
place in point of rank and patronage, it is
said, will be Mr.. Barrett. of Massachu-
sets. He came within three votes of the
Caucus nomination before, and his selec-
tion now is considered certain. He is a
gentleman of ability and will give eleva-
uon to the place, and although decided
Hard" he is a favorite OF the Presl-
dent.

AN AFFLICTING EvENT.-The Boston
Transcript relates the following incident:
On. Wednesday, the 18th instant, DR..
Lotlrop, of Battle Street Church, married
the daughter of one of our well-known cit
izens to a young, merchant of this city
The party went up on bridal tour, and
in New York, last week, were joined by
tie father and family Of the youthful
bride. On Saturday last the whole party
started upon their return home. The
young bride was taken i'll in the cars, and
stepped into the ladies room at one of the
station-houses on the New Haven rail
way, where she soon after expired. 1t is
thought that the cause Of this sudden
event was an internal hemorrhage

WISHING.
BY John @. SAKE.

Of all the amusements of the mind
From logic down to fishing,
There is not one that you can find
iB Sovery cheap as "wishing2"
A very choice diversion. too,
If we but rightly useit,
And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert it and abuseit.
wish--a common wish, indeed
My purse was something fatter,
That might cheer the child of need,
'H And not my pride to flatter;
That might make oppression reel.
As only god can make it, @
And break the tyrant's rod of steel,
AS only gold can break it2
Iwish that Sympathy and LOVE
And every human passion,
That has its origin above.
Would come. and keep, in fashion;
That Scorn, and Jealousy. and Hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of ocean,
wish--that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
Iwish the good were not so ofew,
: / wish the bad were fewer;
I wish that parsons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching.
wish that practicing was not
So different from preaching!
& / wish-that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor;
wish that innocence Were free
From treachery and slander:
/ wish that men their VOWS would mind
s That women ne'er were rovers;
Iwish that wives were always kind
And husbands always lovers
wish--in fne--that joy and mirth,
I And every good Ideal,
May come, erewhile, throug ghout the earth
To be the glorious Real,
Till God shall every creature bless
With his supremest blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing be possessing

GARDENS. 1t is really pleasing to see
the number of beautiful vegetable gardens.
in and near Downieville. There is scarcely
a vegetable that is required for domestic
purposes but can now be had in market;
cucumbers, squashes, beans, peas, mel
lown, tomatoes, turnips, carrots, beets,
and in fact everything that the most fas-
tidious taste, of the dainjiest epicure could
covet, can be had, being the product of
the mountain gardens, even to the ears of
green corn. -

Eloquence at a Premium.

"May it please the Court," said yam
keelawyer, before Dutch Justice the 9TH
er day, this is case of the greatest i'm
portance: while the American eagle.
whose sleepless eye watches over the
welfare of this mighty republic, and whose
wings extend from the Alleghanies to the
Rocky chain of the west. was rejoicing in
his pride of place
shtop dars! shatop, say, vat has dis
suit to do nit eagles? Dis has nothing to
do NIT de wild bird, 1t ish .on sheep"
exclaimed the Justice.
"True, your Honor, but my client has
rights"
eyer CLIENT has noright to no eagle!'
"Of course not, but the laws of Ian
guage-'
What cares for the laws of language,
eh? I understand de laws of de State,
and dat ish enough for me. Confne your
talk to de easel"
"Well, then, my client, the dcfendantin
this case, is charged with stealing sheep,
and
"Dat will do! dat will do! Your CLIENT
is charged NIT shtealing a sheep, just nine
shillin. De court will adjourn"
EgA A curious divorce case was before
Judge Edwards of the Supreme Court,
New York, on Tuesday. The complaint
is an English woman who after the death
of her first husband, went to Australia,
having a little fortune of about f2,15O
sterling. On the voyage she met with
fellow passenger who represented himself
as d German Baron, compelled to fly on
account Of his politics, and he so won her
widowed affections that she married him
on reaching Sydney. Afterwards they
sailed for Callao, where the Baron got
possession of the money, amounting to
800 sterling, on pretense of deposit
ing it for safety with the British Consul.
This, however, he did not do They sail
ed then for the United States, and at Bal
timore be deserted her, writing back from
New York, enclosing $1,000, and saying
that before she received it he would be on
his way to Europe. She was smart enough
not tobelieye this, and burying on to New
York, where she found him, gotout writ
for his detention, and now sues for the re-
covery of her money and for divorce
The name of the hero of this story, un-
der which he was married, is Edward
. ak Alexander Randolph, Baron of Wer-
tenhagen, of Mecklenberg, Germany. The
Judge took the case under advisement.

Work Chaiked out the United States.

A Spanish paper, La Poz, of Seville,
in remarkable article discussing the
question of the annexation of Cuba by
the United States, thus foreshadows some
of the consequences which would result
from that initial measure:
cit is contestible, since the government
at Washington has not taken pains to de-
ny it, that the American Union aspires to
the absorption of the island of Cuba; and
it is not less evident that once mistress of
the greatest ndrichest of those European
possessions, the acquisition of the others,
or the repetition in all of them of the st.
Domingo slaughter, would be no difficult
matter
Now, the loss of Cuba would import for
En- Gland the loss of Trinidad, which COM
mands the mouth of the Oronoco--that
of Tobago, that of St. Lucia, Grenada,
the Grenadines, Barbados, Dominica,
Montserrat, Antigua, Nevis, St. Christie
pher, Auguillis, the Nirgin Isles, Jamaica,
and the numerous Archipelago of the
Lucca Islands. F.
Ii would import for France the loss of
Guadaloupe, Martinique, Deseada, Los
Santos, Mariegalante and part of St. Mar
tin. a a u
1t would import for Holland the loss of
st. Eustance, Java, Cursaco, Oruba, and
Buen Ayre.
1t would import for Denmark the loss of
San Juan and Santa Cruz
1t would import for Sweden the loss of
St. Bartholomew.
1t would import for the Emperor Solou-
que the loss of Hayti.
1t would import, in a word, for Europe,
the complete abdication of her power, of
her representation, of her influence, of
her interests in the American seas, and
the absolute preponderance of the United
States, to whose strength nothing could,
from henceforth, be opposed.

An ACT OF GALLANTRY.-Scott in one of his

way to royal favor, by throwing his mantle be-
meath the feet of Queen Elizabeth, lest they
should be soiled in crossing puddle of water.

lowing. 1t says:

speculations upon Lanes and Trials movements.
It is believed by those who are well informed on
this subject that Mr.. Gadsden has been in
structed to commence negotiations by offering
an indemnity to Mexico for Mesilla, and to pur-
chase an additional strip, taking in the whole
