ENGRAVING TO THE NEW TERRIToRIEs.-The
Savannah Sentinel, published in Andrew county, on
the west line of Missouri, thus speaks of matters
across the State line:-
Settling in Nebraska Kansas, we learn from the
Gazette and other sources, is going on rapidly.
Hundreds Of claims are already taken up opposite
st. Joseph and meeting of the settlers held. Not
day passes but new additions are made to the
number. The Indian agent has issued proclama-
ton against trespassing on Indian lands but little
heed is paid to it. The "work goes bravely on"
Nor do the hardy pioneers seem to fear the !" cold
steel Of the bayonets" with which they were threat
ened last fall Impatient of the unreasonable delay
of government in extinguishing Indian titles and
organizing the Territory the people have determined
to take the matter in their own hands. The appro-
priat0n was made more than q year ago, and time
enough elapsed for something to be done. The
masses are now on the move. II is as we predicted
Nor can the movement be arrested. As cabinet
officer observed to last fall while at Washington,
agara as to force back the onward march Of the
AngloSaxon race" The strength Of the present
movement may be estimated from the fact that the
ancient enemies Of Nebraska have joined in the cur
rent. Even Bro. Davis, of the Cycle who censured
Col. Benton for intmating that the unapprOpriated
portions OF that Territory subject to settlement
and denounced any such settlement prior to the or.
ganizaton Of the Territory, has now, we learn,
made himself claim on portion of the appropri-
ated Territory, which unquestionably still belongs
to the Indians Surely If it was wrong, az Benton
and his friends recommended, to occupy even the
unassigned portions Of Nebraska outside OF all Indian
reservations, it must be still more SO to intrude in
side OF these boundaries, and invade Indian rights
Where sleep now the threats Of bayonets7 Where

been abroad in the islands for week, without

A Feaifal Scene.

The Telegraph has alluded to the burning

particulars by MALL
The but ding is IA large one five stories high,
and built of brick. The first story is occupied
for manufacturing purposes and the second and
third by families, and the fourth and fifth 10y the
College. AS soon as the fire was extinguished
the attention of persons engaged was attracted
to the dissecting room where the fire origina-
ted
Here an awful and disgusting sight was pre-.
sented. Bodies and portions of bodies lay scat
tered around,-limbs, ribs, skulls, intcstines and
slices OF human flesh in great professionals
though just dissected, met the eyes of those who
had entered the room, while the horrible efiluvia
from the burning of human flesh in two large
stoves in the room, sickcned those who ventured
near The physicians speedily disappeared.
These sights enraged those who were present
and immediately commenced scene of riot diff
cult to describe. The windows were raised and
broken, and many portions of bodies thrown out
upon the crowd below. Among the rest small
coffin was thrown from the fifth story window
down upon the tow-path and burst open by the
conclusion, when the body of a child apparently
six or seven years of age, with head almost as
large as peck measure was exposed to view
the coffin being broken to pieces. This body
was permitted to lay upon the tow path ten or
fifteen minutes before any one ventured to re-
move the disgusting sight, and hundreds went
up to examine it, including many respecta-

NEnRAsKA.-The public generally are more
familiar with the term Nebraska than they are
with the locality to which it is applied AS we
understand the limits and extent of the Nebras-
ka territory, including that of Kansas, it extends
from the Texas line, on the SOUTH to the British
Possessions, on the north, and from the Nilsson
ri river, on the enst, to the Rocky mountains, ON
the west, embracing what was formerly known as
the Missouri Territory. After the introduction
of the Nebraska Bill into Congress, the territory
was divided into two territories, not including
that portion of The original Indian territory ly
ing between the Both, Both and 37th parallels of
latitude. The Norte portion is called Ne
braska, and the southern portion Kansas. The
provisions OF the Nebraska Blll are the same as
applied to both territories. The territories com
prise area of 100000 square miles fifty
ty times as large the State of Massachusetts
ten times as large the state of New York,
aud something larger than the thirteen original
States. The southern latitude is that of Virgin
in, and the northern that cf New Foundland.-
1t necessarily embraces Il variety of climate. A
large portion is said to be well adapted to agri-
culture and the use of slave labor.
