PuBIieSaIe Orthe squatters Homes.

The time may have passed for news
paper articles respecting the above sub
ject, as it has been decided to bring our
lands into market in the month of Sep
TENDER. An we can do is to express our
deep regret that our much respected
"Uncle Sam" is thus financially compel
led to force to public sale many an honest
pioneers home. We regret it, not only
on account of those already here; but on
account of the thousands who will soon
emigrate to our Territory. As matters
now stand, there is a great stimulus 10
emigration, and if no sale comes of for
few years, u country viii be densely
settled by persons for whose special ben
eft the Presumption Law was designed.
If this could be done the benefits of the
law would be apparent.
But suppose a public sale takes place
at the time mentioned, no one can deny
that the consequence viii be injurious
very indeed. Those of our settlers whc
have not as yet accumulated a suficiency
to enter their lands at our Land Offices
will in many cases be compelled to encum
them with mortgages, IA order to obtaiI
the means to avoid the auctioner'S ham
mer. Some doubtless will experience the
painful scene of their homes being bid Of
to some one else.
We cannot help thinking such q pre-
mature effort to bring on a public sale Q
the lands, at least in this district, highl,
injurious to the settlement of this country
We want settlers. Sell our lands, lie
them pass in the hands of capitalists, an,
we had Just as well "hangup the fiddle,
and bid farewell to Nebraska.
Nebraska advertiser., 1858-04-15
Tie time for sales was fixed for the

|#H...NU
Tie time for sales was fixed for the
coming June, Ept by the interchangeable
exertions Of the squatters' friend, Judge
.FERausos, was postponed until Septem-
Der next. For What he has thus much
accomplished, he has the thanks Of toiIing
thousands wi are s,ilI in hopes some
hing more may yet be done to stilIfurther
postpone a public sale Of lands in Ne
b~raslsa.. The Administration certainly is
not thoroughly posted as to the wishes
andirue interests of this country in regard
to this matter.
We are ready 70 admit that there are
a few argumeuts--yery weak. however
in favor of land sales. But the great and
forcible arguments are all against such
a method Of disposing Of public lands
We complain Of the exceeding pressure
financially, surroundings Us. q his pressure.
cannot fail to increase with the sale of
lands so short distance in advance Of US.
How so! Why simply because every
dollar that can be raked and scraped to-
gether is used in paying for lands, and
The country thus drained of its very life
blood; and the result will be, no money,
and unappropriated lands in the hands of
capitalists, where they viii remain in a
wild condition until doubled in value by
the labor of the actual settlers. So far
as we as an indiTiduahare concerned, it
natters very little, whether sales or no
sales. But while we operate as a j@ourna-
list, and as it we're, occupy a position on
the w~atchtower Of interests at large, we
feel that we should prove reCreant to duty,
did we not advocate with pen and voice,
the rights Of those who are struggling
amid the privations incident to the SET
Ting of all new countries, to secure homes
for themselves and children.
We heard several persons the past
week, who have taken claims and are
improving them, say, that if the desir-
able lands in Nebraska are so soon to be
placed without the reach of those design
ed to be benefttedby the provisions of the
presumption laws, they will abandon
their selections, and return to the States,
or seek other localities, 7''.-

Religious REVEALS.

There is perhaps no real lover of his
races no lover of nature who does not
love the Creator Of all, and halls with
gratitude, any indication of increased at
tention to higher and purer motives
among his fellow-men. Our exchanges
from the States of late are filed with
intelligence CT religious REVEALS, and it
is with no ordinary feelings, we here
make the record. At Chicago, New
York, and several others Of the largest
eastern cities, almost unheard of revivals
are in progress. g sur
A Chicago paper says: 's9
"The meetings of the Board of Trade
have been adjourned earlier to allow It's
members to attend. and the revival IS the
subject of candid, sober, thoughtful con-
verse-no exeitement-no s%coffeFs, but a
quiet ~solemnity seems to rest upon all"
From the St. Louis Republican, we ex-
tract; a3.4t4 icsre 1-d fae
SIT is not unlikely that one of our the
aires, after the example of Burton's,
Chambers street, New York, the Peoria
theatre and several others in various CT
ties of the country will be put to a proper
though unaccustomed use next week.
The regular season Of the present lessees
closed on the 9th. The success they
were meeting, however, induced them 10
retain the Martinetti troupea as long as it
was practicable for them to stay; but as
the departure of these performers in a
few days, to fulfil an engagement at
Louisville, is imperative, and De Bar
cannot arrive here to open before 10Th or
18th of April, the building VIII be, for
the coming week, without a tenant. 1t
has been proposed, therefore, to occupyit
as a place for the public prayer meetings
that are held daily in this city, and atten-
ded so numerously that those who partici-
pate in them are subjected to nc little
discomfort by want of room and of seats 81
The following paragraphs we clip from
other exchanges:
AT a revival meeting held in Burton's
Chambers street Theatre, New York. on
Wednesday last, it was stated that Edwin
Forrest, the actor. has lately been con.
verted, and that the Boston Theatre i:
about to be sold.
Among those who are said to have be.
come converts, in the great revival now
going on in New York, is George Law.
The New York papers inform us thai
the Five Points are being converted BY
prayer meetings. IL the Five Points arr
converted, the Devils citadel will be Ia
ken, sure enough. s
At Ripley, Ohio, the proprietor Of
gambling saloon was recently converted
and at his request, a daily prayer meet
ing was organized in his rooms, and it !.
being carried on with great animation.
The attendance of the Daily Prayer
Meeting in St. Louis has become so larg,
chat the use of one of the most capaciou
halls, in the city has been secured.
