PAwEEE COUNTY,

AS we stated a few weeks since, is at present
unorganized, and is attached to Richardson
county foreIection and judicial purposes: We
made a short tour out in ?awr1ee county, a few
weeks since. and were agreeably surprised at
the vast amount Of good land, timber and
stone. Along the Big and Little Muddy Riy-
'ers, Long Creek, Oak Creek, and the Big Ne
maha,, are as fine Bottoms as can be found any,
where, and plenty of timber for all practical
purposes. The quality of timber on the Big
oNemaha is the finest we have seen in the Ter
ritory; mostly Walnut Maple and OAK
scarcely a Cottonwood to be found. We were
along the River, up and down, for a number
of miles, and fOundit all equally fine. The

pains to ascertain what are The prospects Of

and now in fine condition, to create q surplus
sufficient to supply the present seasons In
