We welcome to our columns, the excellent
correspondent "LEoNIGAs" The article is
well written, to the point and suits US with per-
haps single exception. We. are opposed to
appropriations, or meddling, in any way, with
the Public Lands at present, other than ma
king such arrangements that the actual settlers
can pre-empt, and pay for their land at 81 ,25,
per acre, along at such tirsos as they are able.
We are satisfied that great injury would result
from bringing the Public Lands to sale, short
of two years hence, at least. Give settlers
time to open up their farms, get things com
Portable around them, and thea pay for their
land.

NERRAsYA TERRITaRY.

Having recently returned from tour to Ne
maha county, Nebraska Territory, 1 shall brief
sketch a few facts relative to the country
saw. Brownville, the county seat of the coun-
ty, is not two years old, and yet there is quite
an active business doing; they have erected
there a first rate steam saw-nlill, caprble of
saving from four to FIVE thousand feet of lurn-
Der per day. The buildings are all new, and,
of course their appearance indicate hasty con-
struction; but the mechanics can be seen in ev-
cry direction, at work. building dwellings for
the daily arriving immigrants who fill the
streets. But a pleasant ride into tho country
surprised me more than anything else l saw;
there is a.eountry which no ore, two years ago,
inhabited, where the Indians and wild beasts
of the forests were wont to roam uzdsturbed.
But now those prairies are being covered BY
crowds Of immigrants, who are rapidly con-
verting the wild wastes into well cultivated
fields. Large farms and comfortable dwellings
dot the beautifully undulating prairie; and ere
long these prairies will be denseiy populated.
The soil is very much like the soil0f Western
Missouri and Iowa, equal to it. in fertility and
richness. That country is destined to vie with
the most favored portions of the older States.

rapidly from August last up to the present time
