MISTAKES CONCERNING NEBRAsKA.-Wehave
that the paragraph going around the papers
Originating in the ST. Louis Demo crQt.) which
says that emigration is pouring into Nebraska.
and that the Indians there are fine farmers
and we'll settled, is all a mistake. No attempt
to 60 into the tel ritory, without government
license, are being made now. Of what may
be called the semi civilized tribes in Ne
braska-those moved from points east-not
one man in ten, pretends to have a field Of TN

THE VIRGINIA REVOLUTIONARY BOUNTY
LAND CLAIa QUESTION will be finally disposed
of by the Secretary Of the Interior, as soon as
he obtains replies from the Attorney General
upon the many intricate law points involved.
We have reason to believe that the questions
or points in this case have caused the chief
law officer of the Government much more la
Dor than those involved in any other case SO far
submitted to him. Wepresume that his opin-
ion will soon be roady, as he is given to earn.

GOVERNMENT LANDS IS NEW MEXICO AND
UTAH-It is most probable that the Execu-
tive branch of the Government will at once
earnestly urge on Congress the Importance of
extending the land system of the United
States over the territories above named, with
the view of preventing interminable difficult
ties about land titles, which must otherwise
ariso there, and to facilitate and encourage
the emigration thither of agricultural settlers
in those quarters.

A NAVAL CHIEF ENGINEER RESIGNED
Mr.. William Sewell, a Chief Engineer in the
Navy, who was very recently ordered to join
the steam frigate Saranac for sea duty, has
