IN THE TERRITORY.

Mr.. G.. ". Stephens, late of the
Central House, Saratoga, has taken the
lease of the hotel on Farnham street,
Omaha, and will open it Immediately for
business. All our citizens will rejoice at
the opening of this house-and no man
better qualified to preside over It's destl-
MES than Mr.. Stevens could have been
found, or who would prove a more acceP-
table or popular landlord Omaha Times.
HAMILTON HoUsE.-It is understood
that this old and well known house Is to
be closed within a few days, and the fur
niture removed to the new Hotel. Under
the management of Mr.. Salisbury, the
Hamilton has been a f~avOrite house, and
we'll ~patronized, and all regret that 1t
should now be clused-this is OccasiOned,
not from any want Of patronage, but that
its furniture may be used by Mr.. Stew
ems in the new hoteL.-Omaha Times.
Observation-Disclosures groups and
squads of politicians congregated at street
corners and in shady places, denote a re-
newed activity in political circles. Lists
of candidates for the Legislature have
been shown to us, containing over sixty
names; the owners of which names all
stand ready to respond to the call of their
country On-Saturday next meets the
convention for election of delegates to
the county convention. A strong fight
will be made on that day, each candidate
e~ndeavoring to run in delegates favora-
ble to his own nomination. - Omaha

Gov. DEHvER.-We learn from the
St. Joseph Gazette that a report Is in
circulation at Leavenworth. to the effect
that Gov. Denver intends vacuatiug the
Gubernatorial Chair soon after the cleo
ton in August. The reasons which have
prompted his ExceIlency to determine in
taking this course are not stated.-Rulo

We are informed that the Omaha In

ILLNESS OF EDITOR JAcKsoN.-It is
with pain that we note the fact of the
severe illness of our brother of the quill,
Mr.. Z. Jackson, of the Pilot" He is

are much gratifed to say that his condi-

CbeaD Flour.

We learn that the best article of flour
can be purchased in T~alladega, Calhoun,
and Randolph counties for $3.50 to s.
per hundred, so promising has the wheat
crop of that region of the State been this
year. New flour is coming into our mar
ket already, and we would not be surpri-
sed to hear of that article selling in our
market before long for s. to 1925. Ala
bama never has contained so abundant
provisions since it was a State as at this
time. The crops, and especially the grain
crops, were never more promising. Men
look cheerful, women look pretty, and
horses and mules were never fatter. All
animal creatures in this part of the world
plainly indicate a year of plenty. Lands
and negroes, as well as all other species
of property, are advancing inprice rapid

The TELEGRAPH Fleet.

We are gratifed to be enabled to Law
before our readers some definite i%nteIIi-
gence with regard to the Telegraph Fleet.
1t will be seen by u dispatches that the
vessel Alice Munroe, which arrived at
Boston yesterday, was in company with
the Fleet on the 9th of June. Two IN
successful attempts had been made to
submerge the cable. No disaster had oc-
Cured, and confident hopes are expressed
of ultimate success. The weather had
been extremely unfavorable, and on this
account operations had been retarded

BPOWnTille.

On Friday morning last, we made a
to the City of BrownviIle. 1t IS a
neat Furnishing place about eight miles
west of here, and situated Immediately
on the west bank of the Missouri 1t has
the advantage of being situated near the
center of the county, and is a good ship
ping point for a large section of the
country. Notwithstanding the hard times
Brownville seems to be improving, and
business of every kind is quite lively.
We noticed many new buildings which
had been erected since our last visit
the largest of which is the BrOwnville
Hotel, which is quite creditable to the
place. 1t is kept at present by Messrs
Wheeler, & Morrison; landlords who
fully understand their business, and who
spare no pains to make their guests COM
Portable. We called at the sactum Of
brother Furnas of the Advertiser, who
was absent from the city at the time.
However we were kindly received and
comfortably entertained by Mr.. Lang
don, the gentlemanly and obIiging fore
mar of hat office. We met many for

the whole, our visit, though short, was
quite pleasant, and we crossed the river

HOME CORRESPONDENCE.
For the Advertiser.
NEMAHA County, n. T.
July %, 1858.
A. R. GILMORE

-
Mr.. EDITOR:
The election now pending in this Ter
ritorv IS one of unusual Importance. Its
result will doubtless affect the interest of
our citizens for a long time to come. Not
that there are any very momentous ques.
tons at issue, or that it will N any
ner influence the political aspect of the
times. But, if l read the signs Alright,
the people Of Nebraska are impatient of
being kept in such a state of pupilage and
dependence, as hat all their laws must
be made and construed for the benefit of
persons who have no interest in the Ter
ritory, only so far as the necessities Of
the settlers afford opportunities for spec
uIators and stockholders to practice their
deceits. The people have not been 81
lent and accomplishing spectators of the
abuses which have been practiced upon
them by the Vaccinations and intrigues
Of their rulers and lawgivers. Twice
have they been bafled in their efforts to
obtain the enactment Of Territorial laws.
Four years have passed since the Terri
tory was organized, and in many re-
spects we r no better off than if a leg
~isIalive assembly had never been con-
vened. Under these circumstances, it is
but reasonable to suppose that some anx-
iety should be manifested by the people
that he men who may be elected to the
next Legislature should be those whose
character for integrity, frmness, pru-
denee and sagacity, entitle them to the
confidence Of their constituents.
The same causes which have hereto
fore embarrassed and Distracted the work
of our Legislators, still exists and it is
probable that no movement can be made
towards u~nravelling the snarl of our leg
i%sIative affairs, without raising the same
issue which is so obnoxious to a certain
clique at the Capital.
The people, are no doubt, anxious that
the next Legislature should proceed at
once to It's legitimate business, namely E:
that it should provide a competent code Of
laws, and act upon such other measures
as will relieve the embarassments and
provide for the wants of the settlers
Some, unmindful of the experience Of the
last legislature, have even required theil
candidates to pledge themselves to thi:
course, while some have gratuitously of.
ferred their pledges to this effect.
The reason assigned for these pledge:
is, that 4 certain un~scrupulOus faction vii
prevent all Legislation so long as the re.
moval Of the Capital is agitated and tina.
this clique, though not strong enough t.
defeat the passage of a law providing fol
4 removal Of the Capital, yet, is strong
enough and u]nscrupulous enough 10 OBJ.

''StOD Thief"

The frequent instances Of horse steal
ing in this county and vicinity render
it ~expedient that the citizens of this COM
munity should devise means for self-pro-
lection. 1t is therefore proposed that a
meeting be held in Brownville, OF Sat
urday next, (July 3lst,) for the purpose
of forming a Mutual Protection Society
1t is hoped all the citizens Of Nemafa
County, who desire to receive the bene-
fits of this association will be present.
The meeting will be held in JohnsOn's
Hall, at l Oo'cIock, A. NJ.

FALLS CITY, July II, 1853.

Mr.. EDITOR:
We have been blessed with an album
dance of rain for the past few days. The
Great Nemaha, worthy of it's name, has
been sweeping away fences, wood, Sc;
OVERLOOKING the bottom, converting the
future city of Nemaha Falls into a beau
tiful lake, and threatening seriously to
oust the inhabitants by summary process
from Bernes to Stumbos. The inhabi-
tants were thoughtful enough to prepare
provisions against the blockade, and
whilst listening to the roar of the Falls,
and the mad dashing of the waters, can
amuse their leisure by preparing RATS
and specializing relative value Of water
lots.
The bridge and saw mill over Muddy
were ina precarious position at the last
advices; the banks were caving as rap
idly as Nebraska banks in general the
water surrounded the bridge, and threat
ened to embrace it as loveingly as ournu-
merous candidates greet their constitu-
ency.
The excitement of horse stealing has
somewhat subsidized the present agita-
ton is the navigation of the Nemaha, the
employment of the water power, and the
coming election for the Legislature, and
the final settlement of the County-seat
question.
The citizens Of this county seem much
dissatisfied with the removal of the coun-
ty seat to Salem. They think they
should have the right, under a general act
Of the Legislature, to petition the Com
~missiOncrs for an election for that pur-
pose, and fix that matter for themselves.
They will ask at the hands of the present
Legislature some provision by which their
interests and convenience can be the best
s~ubserved.
Our candidates 7 visiting the good
people of the county, and, it is to be
hoped, men of the proper stamp will be
sent to represent US.
On next Monday, they will speak for
themselves, and we will expect a display
Of ~eloquence seldom equalled.
Crops are promising. Corn is A, No.
l, and the wheat crop will probably yield
enough for home consumption. The
time IS fast coming when the panic Of
wheat failure in Missouri will cease tc
trouble our citizens. With a few more
good mills, and a few manufacturing es.
adjustments, we will soon become self
supporting, and aid to build up our own
Territory, instead of pouring our treas,
ures into the lap of our sister States.
Home industry, home manufactures, en-,
enlargement of home commerce that's
the ticket-Nebraska against The world
Nebraska advertiser., 1858-07-29

struct all subsequent Legislation. Admit
ting that such is the case, the course pro-
posed cannot obviate the difficulty. For
if it is understood that such pledges have
been made, it will naturally be inferred
that the question of removing the Capl-
tai is still in mind, and only deferred for
expediency, until after certain measures
have been passed; then the question will
be renewed. The result will be, that
those who would defeat the removal of
the Capital will seek every pretense for
obstructing legislation, and will allow no
laws to be passed until the very last mo-
ments of the session. Then perhaps if
there is time to hurry off the whole bu-
siness of the term in a bundle 1t may be
done, so that the Capital is not disturbed.
Such was the course adopted at the last
session, and what wa the result! Our
representatives found that the term was
likely to terminate without their being
able to accomplish anything. The Capi-
tai issue was not raised until this wasap-
parent; and it is an evident fact that the
interests Of the Territory would nothaEe
been better provided for than they were,
had the bill providing for the removal Of
the Capital not been presented.
Besides, a pledge of this kind would
place the representatives under a re-
straint which ought not to be endured. 1t
is a pledge Of allegiance to the regal
rowdies of a faction who are not worthy
of so much respect.
1t may be the better policy to choose
what seems the lesser of the two evils
and avoid agitating a subject which must
cause dissention and disturbance. But il
nothing can be gained by f%Orbearing tc
exercise an undoubted right, the right Of
free discussion, then it seems the sooner
the ~issue-is made and decided the better
Instead, then, of ~hampering our Rep
resentatives with pledges and restrictions
we ought to select resolute men of trieC
discretion and integrity, and ~leavetheu
free to act as the ~exigencies Of the case
may require. We want men who are de
voted to the public welfare, and who care
not for party, section, or locality bu
who can divest themselves of all preju
dice and favor, and act according to thu
dictates Of a just and generous publics pir
it. BY such men, almost any question
which concerns the public can easily b
settled. With regard to the vexed ques
ton concerning the capital, it is doubtful
whether it can be avoided. 1t is doubt
full if anything can be done till that i
disposed of 1t has thus far been the ban
of our peace; and if allowed much lon
ger to infect our Legislative councils, it vii
T create difficulties not easily remedied
Let it then disposed Of at once, eithe
by completing the act of removal, or b
setting it aside as inexpedient, or sub
hitting it to a vote Of the people.

1 enclose to you the card of R. C..
Jordan, Esq, announcing himself a can
didate for Territorial Auditor.
I need only say that his fidelity and
truthfulneesin the discharge of his duties

him to the fullest extent of my ability.
His qualifications, in every respect, are
unquestioned, and peculiarly fitted to the
position, and his known character for
honor and integrity, give him a just claim
upon the sufIrages of the people.
You can, and l trust will, give him ef-
fcient aid in obtaining the position by
making his merits known to your constit,

earnestly hope that your obligation:
to others, and feelings for him will per
nit your cordial support and that YOU

Councilman from Nemaha.


r. w. FURNAs, Esq, of the Brown-
uiHe .fdUertiser, announces himself acan-
didate for reelection.
MF. Furnas has represented his dis
Jrict for a term of two years in the Leg
i%slature, and up to the time of the split
last winter, had represented it well, and
with great benefit to the interests of his
constituents. In going with the Florence
seceders Mr.. F. took a step which he
has since, no doubt, heartily repented,
and which he could not, we think, be
induced to repeat. We are told by gen
tlemen from Nemaha county, that the
chances are greatly in favor Of his re-
election. Should Mr.. F. be successful,
we shall gladly hail his election, provided
he comes up to the Capital prepared to
ignore all sectional issues, and to devote
the talent and energy which he possesses
in a high degree, to the real interests of
his constituents and the Territory.-Oma
ha Times.
The above coming from the point it
does, and owing to the existing circum-
stances relative to matters touched upon
by our friend, the editor, we would be
ungrateful did we not acknowledge an
appreciation of the compliment paid us.
1t has been, and shall continue to be
our aim, in private or public capacities, to
commit no act tending in the least degree
to forfeit the confidence and respect Of
even those with whom we differ Oh ques-
tons of policy.
As a representative of the people, our
motto shall be-Nebraska; as q Journal
ist-Nemaha county; as i private citi-
zen-Brownville. Pursuing sucha course
we cannot be far in error.
In regard to "going with the Florence
~seceders," we were governed by what
we then conceived to be our duty; and
we have never since had the slightes
reason to "repent" of so doing. It's true
we did not agree with the majority as tt
that course being the best one to pursue
under the circumstances. But a major
ity of those with whom we sympathizec
thought and acted differently from GU
notions, and the path Of duty to us wa
plain.
So far as ignoring sectional issues"
concerned, we disclaim ever having ha,
any thing to do with them as such. Whe.
we see wrongs being, or attempted to b
~perpetrated byany power, it matte not b
whom, or from what source, or upon whom
we will be found in the defense Of RICH
and Justice. We do not advocate the re
moval of the Capital forthe purpose of in
juring or retarding the progress Of Omah
far from it. We want it removed up
on a basis calculated to benefit Nebraska
So far as we are personally concerned
we claim to have some as warm friend
at Omaha as we have anywhere; and W
know, too, that we have there, as bite,
unprincipled enemies as any man eve
had; such, too, for no Just reason unde
heaven.
We beg to assure our friend of tn
Times, that if returned to the Counci
we 60 as the representative Of the entil
people of Nemaha County; shall el
deavor to reflect their views-which "
claim clearly to understanding labor fc
their interests, and advance the gene
al welfare and nrosneritv Of Nebraska.
