an accumulation Of sickness heretofore
unknown in that region. They but dis
charge a plain duty in representing to
your Excellency, which they do with
great respect, that the feeling in the Ter
ritory, in view of the loss Of crops, the
unexampled sickness, the depression in
business, and the former practice Of the
Executive Department in regard TO pub
lie sales Of land in the newly organized
Territories, against the proposed sales, Is
deep-seated, intense, and almost unaEi-
nous, not, however amounting TO threat
ened resistance, or even a disposition to
retard the execution Of the law; and,
that an order for their indefinite postpone
ment, or even until the fall Of 1859, al
lowing time to realize the corn crop Of
that year, would be hailed and received
there with equal intense satisfaction and
gratitude.
Wherefore, the undersigned, beg leave
TO express the hope that, your ExcelIen-
cy viii find in the recent auspicious set
Element Of the Utah difficulties, and the
prosperous condition of the treasury, a
sufficient reason 10 grant to the settlers Of
Nebraska the relief prayed for, and
whilst disclaiming authority to represent
or act for the settlers of the Omaha Dis
tric,, they feel warranted in stating that
the reasons set forth in favor Of the post
ponemcnt Of the sales in the two districts
named, apply with almost equal force 10
that district and we respectfully submit
that il might seem unjust to the citizens Of
that district to be Disseminated against :
and if an indefinite p~ostponement be
deemed out Of the question, her we re-
spectfully ask hat the sales be postponed
until the fall af 80, as above indicated,
which viii be a great boon to the settlers
in Nebraska, and as in duty bound, we
will ever pray. &c.

joicing over the ~pcstponement Of the land
sales has taken its place for a few days
principally, yet You hear pixies Peak
at almost every corner you pass. )
There IS as yetno intelligence sufici-
emily reliable, We think, to warrant a
stampede to plies Peak" That there
is gold there we do not doubt. There
has been considerable quantities Of gold
found on the Platte within one hundred
miles Of this city. But it IS doubtful
whether it exists there, or even at pixies
Peak" a distance of five hundred miles,
sufficiently extensive to warrant giving II
exclusive attention. We have for years
had the best of evidence for believing
that gold does exist up the Platte, say
seven or eight hundred miles, in sutic-
lent quantities to pay miners well. The
most of the excitement, rest assured, now,
is gotten up to create a trade at some
points along the river. Ii first originat-
ed at Kansas City, we believe. The Jour
nal of Commerce of that City of a re-
cent date says:
That gold exists there, the public here
have every reason 10 believe, and we
should not be surprisedto see one hundred
men leave Ramsay City by the middle Of
September-allhough we would advise
them no; to start before Spring"
W. advise those taken with the pixies

we think the disease is not dangerous,
and will pass of without any serious re-
suits, by taking a slight dose Of reaec-
ton.

The Demonstration.

On Thursday evening last, the citizens
Of this city and immediate vicinity, in
dulged in a general good time rejoicing
over the postponement of the Land Sales
The whole city was brilliantly Illuminated;
nearly every window was filled with
burning candles; bonfres were kindled In
the the streets, and on top the surround
ing hills; fire balls few in every direction;
minute guns were fred from early in the
evening until aboutS o'clock. Honorary
guns were fired for the President Of the
United States, Hon. JACOB THoMPsos

IRE hereby acknowledge the compliment
paid our humble self, by honoring Us with
three guns and three cheers" After
which the crowd repaired 10 the Brown
vile House where they were entertained
for a couple Of hours by speeches from
Nessrs. Upton, Brown, McGary, Furnas,
Holiday, Whitney, Coleman and Seigel.

demonstration in the way Of fire works,

number Of ladies and gentlemen sat down
to supper most creditable cotton up at the
BROWNSVILLE HoUsE. The table was
loaded with everything the most fastid-
Gus epicurean could desire, or the country
afford. Great credit is due the propri-
etor, Mr.. Morrison, and his gentlemanly
assistant, Mr.. Hackney, for the style in
which the supper was cotton up on 50
short notice, and the attention shown those
participating.
After supper the large dining room was
cleared out, elegantly light up, and Terp-

sembIage Of ladies; presenting a galaxy
Of beauty" OF whom, Of course it would

Ct the Land Sales in this Territory, did
NJ good, as the p~cstponemcnt was deci-
ded ur0n by the Department. before they
reached Washington" This is not so,
and is unjust and ungrateful to our wor-
thy delegates who have sacrificed time
and money to accomplish what they have.
They did the Work! and the settlers Of
Nebraska should ever hold themin CRATE
full remembrance. They travelled day
and night, and when they missed max
ing connections with public conveyances,
they hired private ones-thsy trent right
along. After accomplishing the object
Of their mission, our worthy citizen, Mr..
BRowx, returned after the same manner
even walking on foot a portion Of the
distance that the intelligence might reach
here before the day Of the sales. Brown
vile can claim the honor of putting on
foot and carrying cut a plan which result

in Nebraska, and consequently in bless
ing the whole Territory.
In addition to the preamble and reso-

this city on the 18th Of August, the Del

petition or statement of which the follow
