DOMESTIC MATTERS,

To DELKouENTs-We have been, for some
time, gradually arriving at the opinion, that 1t
is about time to have settlement with our de-
linquent subscribers. The thing seems to oe
becoming more and mere inevitable. The con
dtion Of our exchequer nperitisely demands III
on the ground Of right it is demandedi on the
score Of self respect and morality II is absolute
y Indispensable We have been sending the
Telcgrophio TO not few, some in the county
but more out, with whom we have no acquaint-
ance, in the exercise OF that confidence in the
latent honesty Of human nature, which we all
like to believe will sooner or later, assert its
sway over its cupidity and selhshness, trusting
that oar claims would be recognized and honest
iy met, but we have been disappointed. To
some OF these we have written and enclosed
bills. bal they have sCudiousy avoided any re-
sponse. We Oow make last appeal to those
who have not wholly gone over to reprobation
to settle with us before the close Of the year.
At that time we shall lop, off all subscribers out
Of the county, who are iu any way doubtful, aud
thence forward send no paper without advance
payment.
With our county and village subscribers, it is
our earnest desire to have u settlement to the
close of the year. Thoss who have agreed to
bring us wood, will oblige US by redeeming theiI
pledges without delay So with other articles
which are by special agreement to be taken il
lieu of money. We want only sound, body
wood, for which, market cash price ouy will be
allowed. A few bushels of buchwheat and pO-
tatoes, (any thing bat Yellow will be taken on
subscriptions. We want to make clean work in
the way Of settlements, closing up all subscrip-
tions to the end Of the year, that we may start
square with the world on the first of January
1859.

WITCHCRAFT AMONG The IADIANs.-The In
dams of California as well as those Of New Mex
leo have engaged in crusade against witch
craft, which they treat as nationally as our
Puritan ancestors formerly did. Three Indians
about to be hung for witchcraft by the San Luis
Rey tribe we're rescued by sheriff and posse
from San Diego, greatly to the indignation of
the natives The persons accused OF witchcraft
were an old woman, her son and daughter
They had been regularly tried by IN Indian
council and sentenced to death. When taken
from confinement they were much emaciated,
having had no food for several days. They b
been long suspected as witches and were much
feared. The chief, having been sick 1short
time since, imagined himself bewitched by them,
and on his recovery had them arrested and
confined.
The Fresno Indians are killing their doctor.
or medicine men. They declare them to be
witches; that they cannot cure the sick, and
there will be no more grain or grass seed sill
they are extinguished. Seven or eight physi-
clans have in consequence suffered martyrdom
One of their doctors5came running to the camp
of Mr.. Ridgway, on the Fresno, and asked pro-
lection. He was pursued by some sixteen In
dams, who demanded him Of Mr.. Ridgway, and
gave the above reasons why they ought to have
him. Their modest request was refused, but a
few days after the doctor ventured out and they
got him.

about a mile and half north Of Plattsmouth.
Nebraska.
Through the politcness Of Col. Mullin, we
have been favored with all the papers and
plans of the company, Tor examination, and, as
it may interest many efour readers, w propose
to say something about them.
The parties most deeply interested are Dr.
John Evans and Capt Geo. Schneider, OF Chica-

Armstrong, D. G. Oaks, f. V. McMakin, and
others.
The amount of land included in the plat is
about 300 acres. OF this about thirty acres
is reserved and set apart site for Univer-
sty; about ten acres as a site for a Seminary;
and about ten acres more for Biblical Insti-
tute. These Institutions, We presume, will be
controlled by Methodis.s. Charters have al
ready been granted by the Legislature of Ne
braska. -Four suitable lots in different parts of
the town, are set apart for public schools; a
suitable lot for Town Hall; and suitable Depot
Grounds and right Of way for a Railroad. In
addition to these donations, one tenth of all the
remaining blocks and lots set apart for the
endowment of the University, aud one hundred
lots for the endowment of the Seminary.
The remaining lots are to be divided into
three classes, as to value-one half of each class
to be sold Ct cost to actual settlers, who will
make improvements thereupon- One sixth part
of said lots to be disposed of at cost, in such
manner as may be deemed expedient, to per-
sons making large Improvements in said town.
The privilege Of purchase at cost to continue
five years The proceeds of the sale of said lots
to be.set apart as fund for making such i'm
provements as shall be deemed expedient, and
for defraying the expenses Of the Company.
We understand that the lots will be large and
the streets wide. The surveys will be compile
ted, and the plats printed in few weeks
Active operations will commence early in the
spring. An emigration of about five hundred
German families is expected next season, thro'
the influence Of Capt Schneider who is the
editor OF German paper il. Chicago. A heavy
shipment OF pine lumber will be sent there on
the opening of navigation. Contracts will be
made soon for the erection of large hotel, saw
Mills dwellings, &c.

WIFEs INFLUENCE William

Nh. EDITOR. In reply TO the reasonable re-
quest of Taxpayer" in your last issue, would
state, First, that the School Board have not lev
led nor voted tax Of one quarter Of one per

..School Board" never had, nor have they row
the power to levy or vote . tax Of any charac-
ter.
By procuring the school Law "Tax-Payer" can
ascertain how school taxes are levied and voted;
and BY calling on the Secretary of the Board,
or asking any intelligent person he can 6nd out
who voted the tax OF which no - justly COM
plains.
At the meeting Of the electors of this School
District at which the above mentioned tax was
voted, and the time the question Of the tax was
before the meeting, there was but one member
of the present Board of Directors present, and
he took no part whatever in the discussion and
adoption of that tax.

Chicago pays an appropriate tribute to the Hon
Abraham Lincoln, who has come out Of the
contest with Douglas, with distinguished honor.
Although under the fnesse OF Democratic legis-
lation, his antagonist succeeds, Mr.. Lincoln has
won reputation as a statesman and orator,
which eclipses that OF Douglas, az the sun does
the twinklers of the sky. The speeches made
during the Illinois campaign, have been read
With great interest throughout the country. and
the able, eutspoken efforts of the Republican
standard bearer, have appeared in very favor
able contrast with the subtle sophistry Of his
plausible adversary. The Republicans of tbs
Union will rejoice to do honor to the distn-
guished debater Of Illinois"
