warrant that the company can 60 into speedy opera
ton And the general satisfaction expressed In its
plans is such tbst we feel more confidence thar
| ever that its operation will be successful.
The passage of the Nebraska bill has removed the
only oh tacle which lay in the way Of large and
immesate emigration into the State which Ia 70 be
formed west Of Missouri. We have already pub
shed accounts OF the natural resources Of that re-
gsT, and it is evident, from the tone of the press
evesywlere. and from other information, that these
natural ad, sntages turn to It the attention of set
tlerf-snd in particular Of foreign emigrants.
The new company will provide means ut once
Tor giving such system to Che emigration thither
from the seaSoa,d that those foreigners who fire.
guertly are ignorant Of our language shall not be-
exposed to tbs deccptions and delays which CON-
stantly attend enlgran's who pass Westward with
ort frendr. 1t viii provide for these emigrants ON
their ar1ivHl. such resources country IL ayt
to need TOO long, and to suffer for the want Of. BY
establishing grist miHs, saw mills, and other me-
chanical establishments which are necessary in q
new settlement, butIequire capital by encouraging
the establishment Of schools, printing presses and
ehurches-by rendering information and other as4
sistance to new comcrs, and caring that they shalt
not locate without a clear understanding OF what
they do, Il VIII secure the emigrant from half thaS
apnoyapces. which generally accompany setsement
The ccmpsny has already received large num-
Der of communications from persons in New EnGt
land, New York. Ohio and Indiana, who propose 70
go to Kansas this summer. The foreign emigration,
t>ItSaliy ti4ht from Germany, Is Dey00Q pf0-
cedent this year, and will considerably exceed four
hundred thousand persons More than half of th0se
will come ~ America with the intention of proceed,
ing at once the westand by the low rates Of trar
wi pror0s by this company, with its manifold ad-
van'ages to them considerable part Of these emf
grants will undoubtedly be induced to settle In Kans
tas. The estimate of gentlemen who have studieds
the subject is. that twenty thousand settlers may
easily be introduced there before winter from these
aeprceA.
In comparison with any such number the cmi-
ffx c.ulav hauo crH
Q few slsveholders from Missouri and few others
from South Carolina, is very slight. They win
laroly materially affect the arrangements Of The
bill, TO "squatter sovereignty"
The company will hold few sections Of land
only, on which will stand its mis, hotels and other
settled il win be in position dispose Of these
establishments and the land contiguous, which, Il
is conceived will prove a full remuneration for the
charges OF tie enterprise.

INDIANS DEMANDING MONEY AT NEBRASKA Cry
On lat Saturday, (saysthe Fremont county Jour
,af) twenty five Ottoe Indians waited upon tho
white settlers in and about Nebraska City and de-
narded tithes. II is supposed they were instigatcd
20 axe this demand by some whites living above
he mouth Of the p atte river, who can III brook tho
rsrcf stolen upon them by their more enterprislng
reighbors hereabouts, who are determined TO make
Nebraska City the city of the West Some wero
foolish enough to accede to the unjust demands,
aud Er. Hargcson, we are told, even paid one Of
tteir drunken chiefs $40; others paid from $40 down
Ia s5. was there any surety that others OF the
tie would not call upon the white settlers or thas
tic same pirates would not further extort there
might be some excuse .or this throwing away Of
money upon degenerate tribe OF Indians as ever
resided upon the American continent; but "a thera
is no security, we think friends pursued very
foolish plan to rid themselves OF preseat imortnni-
~. We advise no one 70 take stock over into Ne
braska for the pl Qhtcd word of the Drunken Ott0eS
