remarkable fact, that in so short

NEBRASKA TERRITORY.

Nebraska is so named from one of
the largest rivers, the Nebraska, or
Platte. According TO the returns Of
the last census, il contains l36,700
square miles, or territory five or six
times as large as all the New England
States. 1t should be stated, however,
taking the Southern line al 81 deg,
as Mr.. Douglas proposes, tho Terrific
ry thus organized will be much larger
than the portion that has usually been
designated as Nebraska, embracing a
large portion of the Indiaa-l'erritory,
and most of the Indian tribes, except
the Choctaws, the Greeks, the Chicka-
saws, the Seminoles, and portion of
the Cherokces.
Nebraska, as asproposel 70 be orsaniz-
ed, will be vast region, having vari-
Gus climates, that are enjoyed in Mis-
souri,, Iowa, aud Minnesota, that lie on
its Eastern border; only the climate,
like the face of the county, is more Asi.
attic. The Eastern portion OF it is chief
IL prairie and rich alluyRl. The middle
is more sandy and barren, containing
the Great American Desert; the West.
ern is mountainous, tic highest moan-
tains being covered with almost per.
petual snow.
The inhabitants Of Nebraska may be
seventy>6ye thousand, mostly Indians.
The whites are military men, Indian
agents. ahd missionaries. Nebraska is,
and must ever be, mainly an asricultu-
raj region. Its far from the oceans, and
has no great lakes. Tne Platte river,
though from one to three miles wide,
is only navigable for steamboats, forty
miles.
From what even the Indians have
accomplished in agriculture, the coun-
try seems TO hold out great hepes TO the
farmer. The indians arc mostly sup
ported by agriculture, and according
to returns before ne. four tribes ct
Christian Indians on the Northern
and Southern banks ot the Kansas,
cultivate four thousand acres. From
these they raised in late year so, 900
bushels OF corn, 2 $50 bushels OF wheat,
and $4,000 of oats. 1000 hogs, and
100000 melons Of different kinds.
They kept 900 working oxen, and a
large number Of horses. The annual
value Of their products is put down at
ISL 900. The num5ei ol these Indians
is placed at 2,7Oa.
The territory is not well wooded.
Poplar, elm, birch, willow, pines,
white oak, maple and other trees, are
found there in moderate numbers. The
cotton wood tree much aboands on the
rivers. Wild animals, such as buffa-
loes, deer, wild horses, mountain
sheep, prairie dogs, wolves, elk, ante
lopes, abound in this country.
