The NEBRAsKA. BnL--Since our last publl-
cation intelligence has arrived respecting the dis
position made of the Nebraska bill in Congress.
1t passed the House on Monday, the 22nd, by a
vote of ll3 to 100. It was reported to the
Senate on the 23d, and, on the Goth, ut o'clock
in the morning, passed that body, by vote OF
IS to 10, after an exciting discussion of thirteen
hours. Immediately after salute of 100 guns
was fired from Capitol Hill. The bill as finally
passed il substantially the same as when it first
came from the Senate, with the omission of Mr..
Claytons amendment DISTINGUISHING foreigners.
We may now reasonably expect some action
on the part of Congress that will be Of practi-
cal consequence to the country. The Pacific
Railroad project, the Homestead bill, and other
important measures, have been comparatively
lost sight of in struggle which has had little
other effect than to stir up an angry agitation,
and bring into notoriety aclass of men whose
political course is of most mschievous ten
dency. A disposition has been made of the
most exciting measure that has come before the
present session, and we now have right to ex-
pect that others, which have remained in the
back ground, though of more real Importance,
may be speedily brought forward and some f.
nal action had thereon

LATER BY THE AMERIoA.-There has been no
more battles between the opposing armies, Ell
ther on the Black Sea or the Baltic, or the DAN
ube.
England and France were carrying on their
warlike preparations, on the most gigantic scale.
Further increase in the armies of both countries
was talked of. Turkey and Russia were also
engaged in Strengthening their positions
Austria remains neutral. Orders had been is
sued by Gen. Ostensacken, the Russian Com
mander in charge of Odessa, forbidding neutral
vessels leaving that port while the enemies fleet
remains in sight of the town. On the departure
of the latter they would be permitted to leave
the harbor.
DIFFERENT VIEws.-DuriGg the Nebraska
discussion in the Senate, some weeks since, the
following conversation took place while Mr..
Norris of N. Hampshire, was defending the bill
Norris Cunning to Senator Wade)-Would
you sir, if called upon by U. S. Marshal, assist
him in catching fugitive slave?
Wade--No, I'd see him in--in--Jercho first.
Would you, YOURSELF sir?

New GooDs AND New ADVERTISEMENTS
New goods continue to arrive. at the store of
HAxToN, CUTLER e. WARTS. Nearly the last
of a large and splendid assortment for the
spring and summer has now been received
4" Small profits and quick sales" is the motto.
Messrs. FERRY e. Sons are also receiving
new goods. Part of very large stock has just
been received, and the remainder are daily ex-
pected. We notice that important improve
ments are being made about the old store, and
that considerable addition, rendered necessary
by large increase Of business, is being made
thereto.
For more full particulars see our advertising
columns, which are varied nearly every week as
circumstances require.
The new advertisement of PORTER, BLAIR &
Co., of Grand Rapids, has, doubtless, been no.
ticed by the generality of our readers A large
amount of custom now goes to this establish
ment from our county. Their business is sc
great as to enable the proprietors to carry it or
at extremely low rates of profit. This, ant
strict attention to business matters, is now Civ
ing them great increase of patronage botf
from this vicinity and also from other parts O.
the Grand River country.

MATT. WARDS APPEAL.-Ihe c0Wardly as
sassin, Matt. Ward, has published in the N. O..
Delta an appeal to the editors of the u. States
asking suspension of judgment till the pub.
lshed report of his trial is placed before the pub
lie. The tone of the appeal is not that of man
weighed down with humility, and repenting that
he has committed foul deed. Respecting the
report the N Y Times says:
Besides, it is only fair that the public should
understand the manner in which this full and
impartial" report Of the trial has been prepared
We have been informed on very good authori-
ty, that before the trial, the Wards, or some of
their counsel, wrote to Cincinnati for reporter
who would prepare report Of the proceedings
subject in all respects to their direction. MIR.
Richardson, who has been engaged on one Of
the Cincinnati papers, was employed in accord
ance with this request, and has been paid by
the Wards by the day for his labor. The report,
therefore, is substantially that Of the Wards
1t was ordered, and has been pre-
pared, avowedly for the purpose of aiding their
cause with the public. AS they had influence
enough to induce the Court to suppress all re-
ports of the trial while it was in progress, its
accuracy cannot easily be tested. The speeches
of the counsel will probably be revised by them
selves, and according to precedent in such cases,
they will undoubtedly suppress or insert at their
pleasure. Instead, therefore, of having fair
and accurate report of what was actually said
and done at the trial, we shall have a report
made up expressly for another trial, where the
American public constitute the jury, and where
the Wards have the whole field to themselves

WONDERFUL CURIosITY.--The Cleveland Her
aid furnishes an item worthy the attention OF all
lovers of the curious. The novelty is in Brian,
Williams County, Ohio, and is described as fol-
lows:
1t is supposed by some that there is an un-
derground lake at the depth of some forty or fit
ty feet, of considerable extent, as water has been
found when bored for, for several miles around.
This also is apparent from the fact, that every
new we'll that is bored effects the strength of
others in its immediate vicinity, until its stream
is elevated, by means Of stock to an equal
height. The amount Of water discharged by
these fountains, however, is not proportionate
or equal--they vary considerably in different
parts Of the town, the strongest ones being gen.
orally east of Main street. The water can be
raised in proportion to the stream forced up
There are several that fill two inch augur hole
at the height of eight feet above the surface of
the earth land the others issue a somewhat small
Ell stream to the height of twelve or fifteen feet.
Some of the larger ones frequently throw up
small fish, and we are told that there is very
strong fountain about mile east Of this place,
in which fish Of blackish color, Of the length
of three inches, have been seen.
The work of procuring water is simple and ca
sy. There are seldom any stones met with, TO
obstruct the course of the augur, and but one or
two days are required usually to sink well, OF
five or six inches in circumference, the necessary
depth Water is found at an average depth OF
forty-two feet The auger passes through a
loose sand until it strikes what is called hard
pam" bed of solid blue clay, of from two to
three feet in thickness and of such nature that
it requires drill to penetrate it. Immediately
below this hard pan" lies the water, embedded
it is supposed in quicksand, as for some days,
in some instances weeks, large quantities of fine
white sand are elected by the water, but the
stream finally becomes entirely pure and clear
and no sand is afterwards seen.
No season nor state of the weather has any eff
feet upon these living fountains--neither the
drouth nor flood can change their currents--they
are ever the same--their source is neXhaustible,
and therefore they cannot fail.

The Harrisburg Platform says it is ru.
mored that Judge Pollock intends 10 wait
until within eight or ten days of the cleo
ton, when he will come out and deny all
connection with the secret organization
called "Know Nolhings," and This denial
will be printed in handbiils and in he
Wing papers, and circulated among the
faithful and unfaithful in all parts of the
Commonwealth. If Judge Pollock has no
connection with this order, let him say SO
now. The Democratic party is ready 10
prove his membership, and it does not
wish to wait until within few days Of the
election, when the effect of the denial can.
not be counteracted by proof ofits falsity.
We ask Democratic editors in all parts OF
the State to watch this game, and appriso
their readers Of it. The hardy sons Of
Pennsylvania wish 10 know now whether
it is possible for a candidate for Governor
in this great State, TO join a secret political
organization for the paltry purpose Of get
ting votes, more especially when that or.
der teaches him TO regard its laws as par.
amount 10 the Constitution and nws Of the

THE HOMESTEAD.

by LADY SPENCER.
IL is not as il used to be,
When You and | were young,
When round each elm and maple tree,
The honcysucklos clung;
But still / love the cottage where
passed my early years,
Though not a single face is there
That memory endears.
II is not as it used to be
The moss is on the roof,
And from their nests beneath tho cayes,
Tho swallows keep aloof.
The robins how they used to sing
When you and were youugj
And how did fit the wild bees wing
The opening flowers among,
It is not as it used to be!
The voices loved Of yore,
And the forms that we were won't to sec.
We see and hear no more,
No more Alas, we look in vain
For those to whom we clung.
And love as we can love but once,
When you and were young.

The KANE ExPEDITIoN.-Nearly a
year and half has elapsed since the
Arctic expedition, under the command of
our townsman, DR.. Kane, set sail from
New York. More than n twelvemon,b
has passed since the last intelligence from
the adventurous explorers was received.
The whole OF the season now terminating
has been peculiarly favorable FOR their
researches, so that their return my not be
unreasonably expected at an early period
in the present autumn. Rarely before
was the Atlantic so full Of drilling ice as
during the past spring. 1t seemed, as
veteran navigators said, as if the frozen
barries which had heretofore guarded the
pole had at last broken completely away,
opening an egress-for the first time,
probably, within the memory Of man--to
the daring eXpeditionists. We look for
great results, in consequence, from the
enterprise Of Dr. Kane. The extraordi
nary conjunction of favorable season
and Il slngulariy able leader cannot but
be fruitful Of important discoveries. The
eXistance or non.oXisiaDco Of vast polar
ocean is almost certain to be demonstra.
ted. 1t is to be hoped, however, that the
ardor of discovery has not tempted Dr.
Kane too lar, so as to prevent his return
this year. 1t is enought to lose Frank.
lin. To sacrifice, also, a Kane in the
same generation would be paying tot
high a penalty even for Arctic explora'
lions.--M Y. Paper.

One of the most singular features in the
eastern markets, in view of the remarka.
bic season of drouth, is the decline in the
price Of broadsluds. Flour, during the
past week, in New York, declined about
fifty cents a barrel. TIE result is otlrib.
uted by some to the fresh supplies received
from mills that have started since the late
rains others, with more reason, attribute
the change 10 the limited demand of flour
for export, in consequence OF good crops
on the Continent. In Ireland, we learn
from gentleman who is recently travel.
ed through most of the counties, the pota.
to crop is excellent, and has suffered but
little from the blight. There is thus some
reason 10 believe that we will have no
scarcity Of provisions in Ibis country du.
ring The present year. It is to be hoped
this calculation will not prove deusive.
