cessary to say that his Democracy Is above suspi-
cion, the Herald's correspondent to the contrary
70 withstanding.
The stimulating influence OF the establishment
OF the new land offices at this place and Browns
Vile is already being felt and must greatly hasten
the important position these places are destined
to occupy among the great cities of the West
The other more important Missouri river towns
south OF the Platte are Plattsmouth, situated at
the mouth OF the last named river, the outlet Of
the produce Of the beautiful and fertile valley of
the Platte; and Wyoming and st. Peters, at the
mouth Of the Weeping Water, about six miles
north OF Nebraska city, where there is a fine and
permanent landing three fourths of a mile in
length, and one Of the best building stone quarries
in Nebraska.
Among the interior towns NAV be mentioned
Salt City, Cornelia, and Maryville Salt City is
situated on Salt Greek about forty miles from the
Missouri river, where salt works are in contem-
Plation which are confidently expected to rival in
quality and quantity Of product the celebrated
Onondaga salt works in New York. Cornelia
and Maryville (Which lie adjacent) are situated
about midway, on a much travelled road, running
from Plattsmouth to Salt Creek, in the midst of a
fine agricultural region which Is settling up very
rapidly. These and other advantages must as
sign to them an enviabe position among the in
land towns of Nebraska, and they will in all
probability lie on the route ef the Nebraska CITY
and Fort Kearney railroad, with which view the
locations Were made by the original proprietors
The immigration to this part Of Nebraska since
last spring has been very great, and what is more
-
Is composed CT sturdy farmers and skilful me-
chanics.
At various times the settlers have noticed in the
vicinity of Nebraska City, Cornelia, and in other
parts of this county strong Indications Of the
presence Of coal, and last week a bluff on the
farm Of Hon. ]. Sterling Morton, adjoining Ne
braska City, was opened, and a vein Of a superior
quality of camel coal was discovered. Very
productive lead ore has also been discovered in
Cass county. While on this subject cannot
omit to remark that if Congress would, at its
next session, authorize geological survey Of
this Territory, developments would no doubt
ensue that would richly repay the necessary ex-
pense and labor of the undertaking.
Our crops are excellent in this section, and
counts OF a very favorable character are coming
In from all parts Of the Territory. On my return
from recent trip to the west, | saw some corn
near Maryville growing from soil which was
broken mp for the first time this spring, measur-
Ing from ten TO twelve feet in height. In fact,
the yield of corn, grain and vegetables in this
county is very abundant in proportion to the
quantity of land under cultivation.
