NICK BRUNELLE's SPEECH. We have o.
tanned from Mr. Darling, the substance,
and as near as he could repeat them. the
words, of the speech Of Nick BruDels to his
gang OF burglars, on the day of the attempt
on Mr.. Murphy's store. Though not as
eloquent az the speech of Logan, or a. some
of the efforts of Patrick Henry, it will be
allowed to be pithy End forcible.

Hotel, and we must have one. One is
now under way which when completed

needs aid to complete it. AfeWApery
teW personst thus farhaye had to shouL
der the burthen in carrying forward
this enterprise. Some of them, too,
owning but little property in this place,
and when accruing benefits are taken
in account, are doing more than they
ought to. There are others we are
sorry to say-heavy property holders,
Who- will be greatly benefited by the
erection Of this building, or-any other
public improvement, and have thus
far not taken any stOck-nOt contrT6a-

St. Stephen.


aai Much has been said of the %Half
Breed Tract and town sites thereon.
Saint Stephen We believe was among
the first, ifnot the very first town site
laid off and improved on this famous
tract of land. It is Situated immedi-
ately on the west bank Of the Missouri
river as near as may be midway be-
tween the mouths Of the two Nemaha
Rivers. 1t is surrounded by a heavily
and fine timbered country, possesses
an excellent landing and has within
the town site an abundance of a fine
quality of building stone. The pro-
pr%ietors are men.of capital, and energy
and experience in Western affairs, and
will, we doubt not make a point Of i'm
portance at St. Stephen, They have
recently-becOme possessed ofsuch title
to the land as to now be prepared to
give Warrantee Deeds to all lots sold.
Alreadyconsiderabl improvements has
been made and much more under way.
A good Steam Saw Mill is now in OPP
Grafton, capable Of cutting 1000 feet of
lumber per day. Two heavy mercan-
tile houses are located at this place.
A large and commodiOus Hotel, a fine
Church and school house building will
be completed yet this season. This
looks ike they meant something sure
ly. A good ferry is also atthis place,
and the Messrs. NUCKoLLs who own it,
will put a Steam Ferry Boat in opera
ton early in the spring.

Sugar Cane.

The following from the Charleston
Courier furnishes ground to believe
that the attempt to manufacture sugar
from the juice of the Chinese Sugar
Cane, will prove successful: AL.
DIR. D. Lee of the Southern Cultiva-
tor has a sample of one or two pounds
of well-granulated and well-tasted su-
gar, made by him at the plantation of
Nh. W. ]. Eve of Augusta, as the re-
suit of his first experiment with the
juice of the Chinese Sugar Cane. This
result is the more interesting from the
fact, that scientific gentlemen in Bos-
ton have expressed the opinion that
the plant contains no cane sugar, but
grape or fruit sugar only. DR.. Lees
knowledge Of chemistry has enabled
him to correct this error, and demon
strate that the Chinese Cane Isl nearly
as rich in crystalizable sugar as that of
the best zane grown in Louisiana.
A New York paper, remarking up
on the appearance ofSorgho Molasses
in market in some of the Southern cit
les, enormously places a sale of the
article at Louisville. The sale refer
red to transpired in st. Louis, and is
the first which has occurred in the
United States.
Mr.. ]. S. Minick of this county who
raised near an acre of the Chinese
Sugar Cane has been experimenting,
in making Molasses, and reports the
resultas beyond his expectations.
Since writing the above We visited
the farm Of Mr.. Minick, where he has
in operation for grinding the cane
stalks, quite an ingenious mill Of his
own construction, worked by horse
power. 1t answers the purpose adj
mirably. 1t is truly astonishing, the
amount of syrup the stalks yield. We
are quite confident,-Iand this opinion
is fully endorsed by all h~ereabouts who
have tested it-that the Chinese Su-
gar Cane in this soil and climate is nc
longer an experiment. When we take
into consideration the quantity Of veg.
citation an acre of land will produce
the richness Of its sacharine qualities
the amount of fodder and seed obtain.
ed, we r at a loss to suggest a more
remunerative crop. aa
After learning more of experiment:
IN this county we will publish a sta.
t~istical article relative thereto.
Quite 8. number Of other persons il
this county have cultivated more Oh
less Of this plant, and we would b.
pleased to hear and publish the result
of their experiments. sci

Col. Nixon's Bank in
this city has been receiving a-heavy
run for some time past. 1t cannot
possibly hold out much longer. The
Col thinks himself, that its doom is
fixed, that soon It will be numbered
among those past recuperation.
The above as our readers are aware
appeared in our paper Of last week
under the local head. It was. written
in the spirit of mirth-intended as a
little bit of pleasantly, and We did not
for a moment suppose any n would
view it in any other light. We regret
exceedingly that Col. Nixon thinks that
without an explanation injustice might
be done him as an Individual
The explanation is: The Col. has
had a number of hands at work for
some time cutting down a huge Clay
Bank, fronting on the river, and the
work is now nearly completed. The
enterprise was creditable to Mr.. Nixon
as a public spirited man, and far be it
from us to connect it with Nebraska
Wild Cat Banking operations.

The New York Times of the 22d
says: ga well-infOrmed party from
Washington states to US that the re-
cent purchase of state stocks, princi-
.pally Missouris, Tennessees, Ohios,
Virginias and Pennsylvania, for the
Indian department., amount to nearly
a million dollars. The investments
are made under the direction Of Hon.
Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the In
terror, who has timed the movement to
meet as far aspracticable the low rates
at which these stocks have been put on
the market and the superabundant
means at the command of the treasury
to make the disbursement. 1t also

Platte Valley Bank.

The Editor of the Nebraska
/. City Nsws labors under a grand mis-
take if he really thinks we ''manufac-
tured the SANDER upon the Platte Val
ley Bank, and to slightly injure Ne
brask City," by saying cit is also re-
ported that the Platte Valley Bank has
Chased doors for the present" Such
reports cere in circulation, here-dre
vet in circulation we doubt not in al
most every portion Of the Territory out
of the Banks immediate neighborhood.
You could not Mr.. Nevs as a sensible
man expect it otherwise under existing
circumstances. .a1uf 20
From our knowledge, individually,
of the men connected with the Platte
Valley Bank we have always, and do
yet have perhaps, more confidence in
it than in that of any other in the Ter
ritory. We have great confidence in
the financial management ofMr. Muck
oils. For this reason, and this alone,
we continued during those reports to
take all the Platte Valley money we
could get hold of; and now wish all
who are in arrears withus would walk
up and pay us off in Platte Valley
money. As a Journalist, however, we
consideredi it our duty to give all mat
tiers, especially in regard to Banks at
the present time, to our readers as
they we're aAoat on the streets.

From Europe, we learn that the DIFF
ieulty between Spain and Mexico is
to be settled by the arbitration of
France and England The Spanish
government had accordingly sent Or
ders to suspend the preparedness for
an expedition against Mexico.
No further news had been received
from India. The English government
was actively engagedin sending troops
for the scene o faction and was about
to open recruiting Offices in France,
Germany, and the United States, to
raise feinforcements for its army in
India which soon will number $1,000
men. nrrHnrvnA
The Persians have atlast evacuated
Herat, thus relieving England of one
of her difficulties, but she has many
others to attend for the present.
A Nebraska correspondent of the
st. Louis Republican-perhaps Chap
man himself-speaking of the election

Over the left. If the election were
to come off to-day between FERGUSON
and CHAPMAN, the former would beat
the latter tive to one. d. .di)
A great effort has been made andi is
still being made to create an outside
pressure in favor Of Chapman, by
writing letters from the Territory to
different papers in the States as to
what is the feeling in Nebraska relative
to the coming contest before Congress
for the seat of Delegate. We noticed
a lengthy article some time ago, in an
Iowa paper, giving an account of the
Nebraska election, setting forth the
wrongs heaped upon Chapman and
lauding him to the skies, credited tc
the Nebraska Advertiser. This is all
done for effect, and We hope and believe
Congress when it comes to decide the
matter, will be governed by'facts in
the case, and if a new expression is
wanted from the Territory, we are pre-,
pared to give it, either by another
vote, or by petitions. %
