NEBRASKA TERIToRY-As the organization of this
territory is attracting the attention of the people
and is before Congress, may mention that new
PAPER the Nebraska Democrat, has just been issued
al Fort Kearny about the prospects of which the ed
or grows eloquent, prophecying that it will be the
site of the great city of the future territory which
his imagination already peoples with its thousands.
In the advancement of any town. territory or State the
newspaper is an important element, and there is no
reason to doubt that the Nebraska Democrat will do
its share in promoting the progress OF Nebraska. He
gives the following description of the Old Fort:
son the embargo removed which now resains the
settlement of Nebraska by whites, there will be such
a rush to Nebraska, that emgrants will have to be
counted by hundreds and thousands, if any
poets to gain an ins ght into the number who will
make the beautiful country their home. 1t appears
to be conceded OF all hands that the present site of
the q Old Fort" will be selected for the city, and
thther all eyes are directed at the present time We
prophecy that within three years after the organZa-
lien Of Nebraska territory, where stands only a
few out buildings will be reared city which will
tain 5000 inhabitants. Nature has been most prodiga
in her lavishment upon the section OF country immedi
atey adjacent to the post now known by the name Of
Old Fort Kearny, and if man does not take adyan
iage OF such prodgaty, we will think this is not the
age Of progression, or else that his senses have be-
come extremely blunted. But he will, and ia shor
period of time where naught is heard but The
savage warwhoop, will be and felt the presence
of the white man. All hail the future of Old Kear

BREACH OF MARRIAGE CoNrRAcT.-A case
for breach of marriage contract was tried a
few years since in the Franklin county Circuit
Court. The contract was not denied, but the
gentleman pleaded compromise by which the
lady had agreed to release him for the sum
of 5000 The Court, however, decided that
the lady, being under age, was not competent
to make such contract of release without the
consent OF her father, and gave her verdict
of S80t. The case was taken up to the Su-
preme Court. and that body has reversed the
decision on the ground that if the lady was
competent to make such contract when un-
der age. she was also qualified to give legal
discharge from it.
