Eo, the Columbia Gazette.

The ceremony Of installation of the
officers of the Columbia Division, Sons
of Temperance, which took place at the
n. E. Church South, on Wednesday
evening last, was quite spirited affair.
The simple and beautiful form Of induc-
tion. of the officers elect into their sew
eral Offices, the interesting and in
structive speeches, interspcrsed with a.
musing anecdotes, by Messrs. Brier,
Lockley, Harrison and others, and the
Temperance songs by the Glce Club,
altogether absorbed the interest, and
raised the enthusiasm of large and in
telligent audience.
The signs of the times would seem to
indicate that fresh impetus has been
given to the. cause of temperance in this
place, and that the day is not far dis
tant, when Columbia will be more celc-
brated for temperance and virtue, than
it ever has been for their opposite vices.
The people are knocking loudly at the
doors Of our Legislative halls for pro-
hibitory liquor law-let the representa-
tivcs Of the people not be unfaithful to
their trust, lest they behold in their
nocturnal visions the handwriting upon
the wall that shall cause them to stand
aghast on the day of the next general
election.
Gentlemen Legislators, give us the
main law, and we will take care of all
minor laws. Mr.. -Cofroth please to
stir up that "yice and immortality COM
mittee.' INDEX

HE NEBRAsKA TsRRrroRY-As
this territory is now subject efgreat na-
tional interest, it may be some grati6ca-
tion to our readers to become more thor
oughly acquainted with its extent and
resources. In late address, put forth
by Messrs. Chase and Summer of the
Senate, they thus describe it:
From the southwestern corner Of Mis-
souri,, pursue the parallel of 36 deg. 80
min. North latitude, westwardly across
the Arkansas, across the north fork of
Canadian, to northeastern angle of Tex
as; then follow the northeastern bounda-
ry of Texas to the western limit of New
Mexico; then proceed along that west
ern line to its northern termination; then
again turn wcstwardly, and follow the
northern line of New Mexico to the
crest of the Rocky Mountains; then as
cend northwardly along the crest of that
mountain range to the line which sepa-
rates the United States from the British
Possessions in North America, on the
49th parallel of North latitude; then
pursue your course eastwardly along that
line to the White Earth river, which
falls into the Missouri from tho North;
descend that river to its confluence with
the Missouri; descend the Missouri,
along the western boundary of Mime
sofa, of Iowa, of Missouri, to the point
where it ceases to be a boundary line,
and enters the State to which it gives
its name; then continue your southwark
course along the western limit of the
State to the point from which you set
out. You have now made the circuit of
the proposed Territory of Nebraska.
You have trayersed the vast distance Of
more than three thousand miles. You
have traced the outline of an area of
four hundred and eiglty-Gve thousand
square miles; more than twelve times as
great as that Of Ohio.
This imrncnse region, occupying the
very heapt Of the North American Con-
tinent, and larger, by thirty-tbree thou
sand square miles, than all the existing
Free States, excluding California-this
immense region, well watered and fer
tile, through which the middle and
northern routes from the Atlantic to the
Pacific must pass-this immense region,
embracing all the unorganizcd territory
of the nation, except the comparatively
insignificant district of Indian Territory,
north of Red River and between Arkan-
sas and Texas, is the subject matter Of
the bill pending before Congress.
