MOVING.

Through the medium of our eastern Ex-
changes, and correspondence, we are in receipt
Of reliable data, that the coming season will
be unequaled in the amount of cmigrants FOR
the West; that in some instances entire neigh
borhoods are ready and anxiously waiting to
"take up the line of march" for their new
homes.
The incentives TO a change of residence or
emigration are many every individual emil
grant he or she has some peculiar idolized OBJ
ject in view in leaving the land of their
nativity. All agree that the most usual and
prominent of these is the hope and desire hat
with a change Of homes their may come a
change in worldly affairs" and instead Of
dragging out their live long days in want and
misery, they may find and enjoy a portion Of
that independence which is the result of a
reasonable share of the good things of this
life." Another desideratum, Of 10 less mag
nitude, induces thousands to undergo the
he~art-crushing anguish of a "last and fond
adieu" to the ''old homestead" "be it ever so
humble''; viz: a restorI tion of health.
A few words by way of advice for all who
have made up their minds to try their for
tunes in new countries ; and in the first place
when arriving at the point for which you
started, do not become discouraged or dissatis-
fed because you are deprived of many little
comforts and ~conveniencies, and forced to en-
dure many hardships incident to The settlement
of new countries. Prepare your. minds to
meet with "hard knocks" for a season; and
our opinion for it, many who are now victims
to disease, inc1raJle disease, viii find these
knocks" highly eficacious in restoring 10
health life and vigor. There is no remedy in the
whole range of medical discovery ancient oil
modern equal to the healing and health invigO-
rating virtues of a residence where the system
receives daily a few such knocks" D..
To al who desire to find homes in a new
country possessing a climate without an equal
in point OF health, and a soil matchless ii
richness and fertility, WI say come to Nebras'
ka. II you wish to avoid strife and live in {
land where you may exercise the right o
speech without fear Of molestation or punish
mert we advice you by all means to "pitcf
your tent" in Nebraska. We have no dis
turbauces here on the subject of slavery O.
any other subject; although our population i
composed of persons from almost every STATE
in the Union, a perfect good feeling prevails;
Southerner and a Northerner join hands
neighboT with each other, worship together
driving no line of distinction but living ant
moving along as a "bAnd Of brothers," Thi
is as It should be; not only in Nebraska but il
every State or Territory in the United States
We again say, if health, wealth, happines
and peace be your object in emigrating to tn
West, let your "lots be cast" in the health.
and beautiful Territory Of Nebraska.

BREAD CAST UPON THE WATER
WV AGENT.

We have mado it practice, whenever go
ing from home, to ill our pockets with "Ad-
vertisers' and prospectuses therefOr LastSum-
mer thus armed and equipped" We spent
a number Of days out on the prairie-"way
West beyond where any body lives,"-5o or
60 miles at least from any human habitation,
where two Indian trails crossed each other,
some body had stuck up a flag stake" As
we rode past, the idea struck US, that we'd
establish an agency at this point, knowing
that considerable importance has always been
attached to Crossroads" Accordingly we
rode back, alisbted from our mule, and
with pencil, wrote on the margin of an AdVer-
iser," "take, reGda and subscribe, " and with a strip
or fromthe ragfag, tied the paper to the stake.
Bidding our new agent 'good day" and wish
ing him success, went on our way. We lad
quite forgotten the circumstance until a few
weeks since, we received two dollars enclosed
in a letter from a gentleman residing in the
northern part o Iowa, stateingthat be had been
on a "look at the country" through Nebraska
last fall, and found a copy Of the Advertiser
tiled to a stake on the prairie" as described,
and "being pleased with the paper, and struck
with the novelty of the agency, determined
to subscribe" and accordingly sent us two dol
lars. This is a practical demonstration OF
casting bread upsn~t the water" &c.

DAILY LINE OF NAIL COACHES FROM
BR0WNVILLE TO DOUGLAS"

Start not reader, at the Captionl 1t has be-
come "as familiar to US as household wordsv-
was held up high and long as one of the
benefits that wouldeEevetably acrue to Brown
vile in the event the Capitol was removed
from its present location to Douglas. The
following is an extract from letter written by
a resident Of Nebraska 9th from Omaha,
under date Jan. 18th, 1851, during the pend
ancyof the capitol Bill, F" to the NORTH Western
Democrat; signed &c. F. H."
"The place to which the Capitol is to be re-
moved IS near Salt Creek Immediately West
of Nebraska City, at an embro ycleped Doug
las City, about 90 miles from the River. Is
location there will give the finishing touch to
that rising metropolis. II will pack the country
West with dense settlements, who will draw
their supplies from Nebraska City, and it will
be virtually locating the Capitol at that place.
How do you like it, citizens of Brownville
and Nemaha county, Does it look much
like running "a Daily line Of Mail Coaches
from Brownville to Douglas" It is simply
an admission Of what every one, acquainted
with the facts in the premises, kzlOl7s. Certainly
it would give the finishing touch to that
rising metropolis" and would be nothing else
than virtually locating the Capitol at Ne
braska City," Thus you see why there was
such a 'deep interest felt in behalf Of Brown
vile and Nemaha County" by our "Sister
City" in 0toe-such an interest as to warrant
the expenditure of a dollar or two" in con-
vincing our people that the "Nemaha Delega-
ton ought to be whipped into the traces or
resign"
We 90 not copy the above, neither do we
write, in any spirit of bitterness or complaint
toward Nebraska City or her people but to
let the people in this place and County know
that it was not the "~interest felt in our behalr'
that induced our neighbors to labor with such
zeal as that manifested during the agitation OF
the Capitol Bi!l--it was all fol de rol, so far as
being a benefit to our place or county was con-
cerned, and right well they knew it. For THEN
zeal, and untireing energy, we give them credit.
and cite to their example in this respect, as one
worthy Of imitation.

TRoTTING MATcH--GooD TINE. The
sporting men of this vicinity have had on foot
for a few days a t%rotting match, or race 1--WE
are not familiar with the phrases of the Turf
against time, viz: a bet Of $50 that a horse,
owned by a Farmer of this county Mr.. BU-
cHANAN, would trot, in harness, a mile inside
Of 4 minutes. The trotting came of on Tues
day last. Time 3 min. "a sec. Taking every
thing into onsideration-cold weather-frozen
ground and no prepared track-just Oh the
rough prairie sod-the time is called extraordi-
narily good. The knowing ones think the
circumstances were about one minute against
the horse, in the distance; in other words
that he can with a fair show trot a mile in
2.24. Those more familiar with such sport
can form a better opinion than we upon the
subject.
The following we copy from POrter's Spirit
Of the Times, as the fastest time ever made
By a running horse was by II. PERT, a mile in
1.42b; and the fastest mile made by a PAGER,
was by ~POchahontas, in 2.1715; and the fastest
mile ever made IN trotting, was by Flora Tenn

WILL OUR CITY PROsPERi

We ask the question, will our city gov 10
be a great Metropolis and that too without the
least assistance? Did you ever know a case
Of this kind? There is no point in Nebraska
Territory with more proyiGential advantages
than the city of B~rownville, and all that is re.
quired is some aid to cause her to take stand
alongside the o towns or cities in the West.
But, unless those who boast of their fifty
and one hundred City Lots" do something in
the way Of improving or sell to persons who
are anxious and willing to buy at, fair rates,
no one can reasonably expect to see a place of
any importance at this point We speak the
sentiments Of every sensible man. Gentlemen
these are facts-yOu cannot deny thvm-and
as long as our city property is held by men at
home and abroad who will not improve norsell
on reasonable terms to settlers, so long viii we
remain behind, far behind the progress of other
points in the Territory. We will continue to
honor you Gents with an occasional puff, until
you do something-SeH out or Improve.

CHINESE G CANE.

Just now, every Agricultural paper we
peruse, is filed with articles upon this subject.
Where it has been tested, it has been found to
be valuable for its Sacharine qualities; for
stock, both seed and stalks. We copy to-day
an article on the planting, cultivating and har-
vesting of this new plant. Next week we will
copy another article on this subject, from
Hon. CHAs. MASON, Commissioner of Patents,
giving an account of the origin of the Chinese
Sugar Cane; its introduction into this Country,
aud accounts of experiments, in various por-
tons of the United States. Some of it was
cultivated in this Territory last year, and found
to do well; We planted a few seeds of it in
cur garden last year, which did well, and
matured long before frost, some of the stalks
attained the enormous height of l6 feet 3
inches. We hope the cnterprising Farmers oil
Nemaha county viii test its qualities thorough
ly this year. We have a limited supply Of
seed which we vii! distribute gratuitously to
to Farmers of this county, who will expert
ment thoroughly with it and report the result
for the Advertiser columns next fall.
