NTr. Hunters Land Bill.

We copy, this morning, from the National
Intellgencer, an extended synopsis of the bill
introduced by Mr.. Hunter as a substitute for
the Homestead bill, and which was adopted
and passed by the Senate bya vote of more
than two to one. This bill, also,s like the 9TH
er, assures possession Of limited portions Of the
public lands to heads of families settling on
them, and gives complete title after five years
occupancy, on the payment of sum gradua-
ted according to the time the lands have been
in market This sum varies from one dollar
to twelve-and.a cents per acre.
The second feature of the bill is, that it
makes general provision for grants of alter.
nate sections of land on the lines of railroads
chartered by the States.
The third and most remarkable provision is
that whereby the States are allowed to take
possession and acquire title to the lands within
their limits on the same terms as individual
settlers. =
If The reader will consider what an inRnity
of vexatious and absorbing questions will be
finally settled by this bill, if it shall receive
the approval of the House, he will admit that
it is one Of the most important measures ever
brought before Congress. Itreaches and RENE
dies nearly all the evils that have so long besct
the question of the disposalof the public lands.
The details of the bill may be criticised, bot
as whole it is statesmanlike, comprehensive,
and in its effects promises to confer great bene-
fits on the country.
All the provisions of the hill are general and
look to the permanent disposal of the ques.
tions reached by it. Besides, as we understand
it, it enables the States to take possession Of
and acquire title to the whole public domain
within. their limits, and thus provides for the
withdrawal Of Government administration and
patronage so far as these lands are concerned.
In this respect it contcmplates the same object
as the land bill brought forward by Mr.. Cal.
houu many years ago. All the impressive ar
gumcnts by which our Great Statesman sus.
tanned his measure then, have gained strength
year by year, and all his predictions of evil
from leaving the question open, as trading capi-
tai for demagogues and spoil for projectors,
have been more than fulfilled.
The bill for which it was substituted, settled
nothing. 1t was simply one more specimen of
popularity seeking at the expense of the trea.
sury 1t was an example Of unthrift-nothing
more. All the thousand and one applications
for gifts of lands TO corporations, charities,
schools and what not, would still pour upon
Congress as BEFORE and still swallow up the
time due to Legislation for the general good.
1t is to be hoped that so fruitful a source Of
corruption and legislative obstruction, may at
length be quieted. We have every reason to
believe that Mr.. Hunters bill meets the cordial
support of the Administration, and it goes to
the House by SO strong vote of the Senate,
that it has at least prospect of gaining the
assent of that body.-Mercury.

Nc,xsnapcr III Nebraska.

A prospectus has been issued for newspa-
per, to be published at Belleview, in the terri
tory of Nebraska, to be called the Nebraska
Palladium. The New York Tribune is not sat
isfed with it's principles as foreshadowed in its
prospectus.
"This paper will be strcnuously devoted to
the support of the great interests involved in
the early settlement of this rich, beautiful, and
desirable country. 1t will be an earnest advo-
cate of the immediate establishment Of those
industrial, social, political, and religious insti-
tutions which give value and permanenee to
society.
"The Palladium will be zcalousy devoted
to the social, political, and moral interests OF
the vast multitudes who will soon transfer their
interests to this country, and begin the founda-
ton of future prosperity, freedom and happi.
ness The higher interests of education and
Christianity will find vigilant and an impair
tial advocate in the Palladium.
"Our political faith and character will cor.
respond with that of the great democratic par
ty of the United States, and be true expo.
nent of republican principles. We shall be
independent and honorable in our course with
friends and foes, and follow no party when
they depart from the standard of righteous
ness and truth. We shall avoid a state of neu-
trality upon all subjects-ospecially upon qucs'
tions that relate to the great moral interests Of
mankind"
Greeley thinks it is rather singular that in a
prospectus so exceedingly democratic, plain
spoken, moral and religious, Messrs. Reed,
Latham d Co. should so carefully have avoid.
ed the only question dstnctivey bearing on
the future condition of the territories, and just
now peculiarly interesting to the public at
large. Of course if they had been opposed to
slavery, they would have said so beyond the
possibility Of being misunderstood, and the in
iercuce is that "their journal will be palla'
dium only for shareholders, and that their'tath
in popular sovereignty finds its truest iustra,
ton in the crack of an overseer's whip"

THINGS THAT ARE CoMING.-Manhood will
come, old age will come, and the dying bed
will come, and the very last look you shall
cast upon your acquaintanccs will come, and
the time when you are stretched a ifeless corpse
before the eyes of weeping relatives will come,
and that hour when the company will assem-
bic to carry you to the church-yard will come,
and that moment when you are put in the
grave will come, and the throwing in Of the
loose earth into the narrow house where you
are laid, and the spreading of the green sod
over it-all will come on every living creature
who hears me, and in few years the minister
who now speaks, and the people, who listen,
will be carried to'their long homes, and make
room for another generation. Now all this you
know, must and will happen; your common
sense and common experience serve to convince
you of it. Perhaps it may have been little
thought of in the days of careless and thought.
less, and thankless unconcern which you have
spent hitherto; butt call ony you to think ofitnow
lay it seriously to heart and no longer triae
and delay, when the high matters of death and
Judgment, and eternity, and thus set so evil
IDENTIFY before you.

CS1ME.-Such is the fearful increase of crime
and insubordination in this country, that at
each issue of our journal we could easily fill
half pare with the horrible and disgusting de-
tails of the weeks work Of iniquity, did we
think it judicous to do so. In the city ofNew
Orleans alone, murder transpires every II
hours; while in New York and Philadelphia
standing army of police avail but little to pre-
vent the daily andhourly preparation of crimes,
a. which religion and humanity stand ashast.
W..tta IL this state Of things to end Is it in
deed true that we are rushing recklessly into
ararchv and misrule-a monument to the world
of stupcndous failure i'll the great experiment
of secgovernment. God forbid But as sure
as truth lives, if the fathers and mothers of the
country-who still have some claim to COM
mon sensc-do not restrain their children and
teach them by times wholesome obedience,
at the point ever, if necessary, of the forgotten
and abused rod, ruin, the most ghastly physical
and moral ruin is the destiny of the people,
1t is superiIuous to ask whence this evil pro-
cceds, when it is so plainly traceable to the
miserable freside and school discipline now SO
much the vogue.
A leading paper of the West has recently ac-
tualIy condemned the use Of the rod under any
circumstances in the school. That editor ncv-
cr taught school, or he could not thus reck-
lessly fly in the face of Solomon, and the prac.
tice of an ancestry who were great because
they were nurturcd under the rod.

vorable than was expected, but the more dit.
fcult portions of this road have not yet been
reached
As the Blue Ridge Rail Road is only one oi
chain of Rail Roads that is destined to unite
the valies of the Ohio and Mississippi with the
Atlantic seaboard, it will not be out OF place
here to state that charters have been obtained
in kentucky and Tennessee to complete the
connection between Knoxville and Lexington
or Paris, from which latter points rail roads are
already in the course of construction to Cincin-
natl and Louisville.
That portion of the line in Tennessee hav-
ing received the most liberal legislative aid,
will, it is understood, be very soon put under
contract, and the best assurances are given that
funds will not be wanting to construct the line
(some so miles) through Kentucky.
The organization of the companies, and the
certain completion OF the roads, renders the sew.
eral lines known as the Blue Ridge Road a
matter of necessity, which nothing but the most
short sighted ignorance can now defeat Bring
inc, as they will, not only the interior of South
Carolina and her scabord, but a large portion
of Georgia and Savannah nearer to Cincinnati
and Louisville, than these great centres OF COM
merce are to any other city on the Atlantic,
and passing through mineral region Of untold
wealth and extent, the business Of this road
cannot fail to be otherwise than large beyond
any calculation of limit, as the other great trunk
lines that have scaled the mountains here al
ready proved. ,
With these prospects, therefore, to the Road
itself, and looking to the vast and incalculable
benefit which it must confer on all the States
through which it will pass, not only in our day,
but much more so in the future, it is an enter
prise not only Of choice, but Of necessity, de-
mandcd by the wants, the genius, the enterprise
and the spirit of our people, and due as well to
posterity rs to our own honor.
Let every man, therefore, contribute to its
support by his unceasing ellorts-by aid to the
extent of his means, and by his sympathy
And those to whom you have entrusted the
management of this great and magnificent en-
terprise will, before many years, be cnabled to
congratulate you on its triumphant achieve
mcnt, as they do now on its auspicious COM
menccmcnt. HENRY EOuHDlN,

By AND By.-There is music enough in
these three words for the burden of a song
There is hope wrapped up in them, and articu-
late beat of human heart. By and by: We
heard it as long ago as we can remember,
when we made brief bat perilous journeys from
chair to table, from table to chair again. We
heard it the other day, when two parted that
had been glowing in their lives," one to Cali
fornia, the other to her lonely home. Every
body says it some time or other. The boy
whispers it to himself, when he dreams Of cx-
changing the stubbcd little shoes for boots like
a man. The man murmurs it, when in liie's
middle watch lie sees his plans half finished,
and his hopes, yet in the bud, waving in cold,
late spring. The old man says it when he
thinks of putting off the mortal for the immor-
tai, to-day for tomorrow. The weary watcher
for the morning wliles away the dark hours
with "by and by-by and by" Sometimes it
sounds like song; sometimes there is sigh
ora sob in it. What wouldn't the world give
to'fnd it in the almanacs38et down somewhere,
no matter if in the dead of December, to know
it would surely come. But, tairy-lke as it is,
fitting like a starbeam over the dewy shadows
Of the years, nobody can spare it, and when we
look back upon the many times those words
have begued US, the memory of that silver by
and by, is like the sunrise of Ossian, pheasant
but mournful to the soul"

Should have been Il Man.

"Ihere goes something that should have
been man."
The poor wretch was just leaving low
grog shop. A tall form, with a massive chest,
noble brow, with lock Of frlzzled grey hair,
eyes, deep dark and lustrous once, not still
deep but sepulchral, and burning like smoul-
dering fires on red altars; these made the sum
bodily of that something that should have
been man.
But at once to trace his career.
A beautiful babe pressed fondly on the breast
Of a mother,-clinging to her neck, playing
with her ringlets, all innocence; filling the
house with the music of his laugh.
A lovely boy, towards whom all eyes are
turned; his face bright with enthusiasm, his
brow curved with intellect, vending his way to
school, and there winning prizes-perhaps sill
yer medals. So in the play ground, the king
amongst his fellows, vivacious, full of fun, and
repartee, eager at play. Hear the ring of his
glad shouts.
A youth, already singing his gentle, blue
eyed partner, from the band of social girls
such ardent spirits seek for the frail clinging
Of graceful vines strangely enough. A youth,
slipping at small parties the bright hued wine,
and poetisirg upon the frothy pearls that deck
its surface
a young man! How the words leap to pa
per. How much of strength, what beaming
eyes, what high resolves, and proud starting
for fame! What yearnings to be rich. What
hopes of happiness. What mines of gold
What height of greatness. What excess of
Joy, these three little words conjure before the
mind. young man. Does he mean to be
drunken? To be poor? To be dishonored
10 have the children laugh and point the finger
at him9 To strike down the defenceless wo.
man? To dcform innocent children? To turn
home into worse than bowling deserts Oh,
assuredly not.
Nor does he think so while he leans back in
the gorgeous saloon, and amid the flashing
lights and the bewilderment of beauty, aided
by every artificc, takes to his heart, to his soul
-hugging it as the miser hugs his treasure
the fend that desolates.
Well, time has passed swiftly, the brand is
burned out; it is charred and blackened; the
star fallen from the heaven of home. He
bickers, he quarrels, he laughs with silly lcer.
ing, and kicks ct the harmless chairs and ta-
bles. If his wife smiles he curses her.
Alas, poor drunkard. Whenever you behold
him, you see something thatshould have been
