Annexation.
PLArrgMourH, Dec. Sd, l8.


r. w. FURNAs:
In your Advertiser of Dec 9th / no.
tice an article, favoring the annexation of
South Platte to Kansas. At the close of
that article you invite the opinions of
those interested, either for or against the
measure. Although, l as one, whose home
is in this land of shallow waters, feel a
deep interestin all that relates to her well
fare, yet l confess, that have never CIV
en- this proposition the thought to which
subject, fraught with such mighty re-
suits, is entitled. Pardon me, if, there
fore, make your hasty arguments my
text, in the remarks which follow. But
seriously, have you not in that article
set forth nearly, if not quite, all the ar
guments that can be adduced in favor Of
the measure?
You say, "The Platte river is a natu-
raj boundary line" True, were it made
so; bu; is it any more a natural boundary
than the Connecticut, which runs through
Massachusetts and Connecticut; or the
Merimac, running through a corner Of
Massachusetts or the mountains which
divide eastern from western Virginia (; Oh
the Arkansas, in the State Of Arkansas
or the Hudson in the State of New York
or the Roanoke. in North Carolina o.
the Illinois, in Illinois; or the Wabasl
in Indiana; or the Colorado in Texas, o.
the Tennessee in Tennessee; /; or the Pc
dee in South Carolina or the Tombigby
in the west, or the Tennessee, in tn,
north Of of Alabama; or the Mississippi
in Louisiana or the Missouri in Mis-
souri,?
You say, "Ful one half the season
the Platte is utterly impossible. y In thi
you are at fault. At present it is, Hk
the Missouri, sometimes impossible
when the Ice is running very strong, bu
in ordinary seasons. It is not so "utterl
impossible, +" but that the, mail has cross
ed regularly, twice a week, for the pa:
season, and, up to the present cold snaI
the Carrier has made but few failures
j less than has been made in our easter
mails, and at the present time here is
good natural bridge across it, that wi
not be carried away by any fresh" fc
some time, unless it should be fres
wind from the south.
As to the practitability Of bridging III
Platte, there is, as a matter of course
a vide difference Of opinion among eng
neers; some consending that it is almo
! impossible, while others as stoutly nlair
tain it to be no great task. Judgin
! from what have seen. l am con6del
: the Platte can be bridged at no gre,
: cost, should it ever be found necessar-
, | speak thus doubtfnIIy, because am sa
/, isfed that this river viii be nayigated
numerous steamers, in a few years; al
i, ! can give proof Of its nayigability th
e would satisfy the most skeptical. ] "

R. w. FURNAs:
We have just had Democratic vieto-
ry IN this county Of which every Demo
crat in Nebraska should be proud. You
know that the enemies Of Popular Sow
ereignty, and the right Of the people to
regulate their own affairs, have always
claimed Sarpy county as theirown. Wei,
the question has Just been settled. and
the Black Republicans feel like they had
''let bird CO." They hang their heads
and curse their fates. They were 50
sanguine Of success, that they bet largely
on the result, in the way Of boots, cloth
ing, &C., and the result is that the bare
footed Democracy are wearing boots at
the. expense Of the Republicans. The
election was for Sheriff. And, although
our majority was small, it is worth every
thing for prestige, as the wavering, whose
name is legion, will now dock to our STAN
dard. Butwhat a triumph we win have
in the Territory, when the battle becomes
general If they cannot succeed in their
favOrite strongholds, what can they ex-
pect when the voice comes up from the
strong Democratic counties al over the
Territory7 One general rejoicing will be
ours, from the L'eau qui Court to the
Nemaha.
/ General Thayer and Jim Stewart were
on hand to help the enemy, but their eff
forts were alike unevaling. They left
the party for the plunder, and they be-
gin to feel, no doubt, that they have .'qot
ther foot in it. AlIwe have to do is %
be true 10 our coIors. Nebraska is the
child of Democratic policy, and we have
no fears that she viii ever turn migrate
and sting the bosom that warmed il into
life. Let other counties follow the ex-
ample Of Sarpy, and fight all political
parties on principle, and we have nothing
to fear. A DEMOCRAT.
Disturbance Among the Omahas.
A muss occurred few days ago,
among the Omaha Indians at Black Bird.
Several were killed and others wounded.
Tecumseh Fontenelle is said 10 have
been killed, and a half-breed named
Neal severely wounded-Louis Neal we
presume, Of Aspinwall

formed that If such was his wish he would certainly be
the subject of frequent and earnest prayer with which
assurance they left him. On going to see him in the
evening for the purpose of signing the papers he again
referred to the subject and reiterated his desire that
they would pray for him, and again assured that
he would be remembered in the devotional exercises
1t was not however expressed in the lease and he has
not yet been particularly specified in any of the pray
ers, however constantly the remembrance of his re-
