COMBINATION PATENT"
UPRIGHT STEAM SAW MILL

This mill commands the universal admiration Of saw
mill men everywhere. As its merits become known, the
section Of this country, Canada, Cuba, and South Ameri-
ca. It is suited for every section Of the world wherever
there is timber to be sawed, no matter of what character
how hard, how large or how small. Two extensive ma
nufactories are now engaged in building these mills yet
it is almost impossible to turn them out as fast as they
are wanted. They embrace several valuable patents
and improvements, and combine all Of the following adj
SimpHcity-Both the mill and power are so simple in
their construction that any one VI ordinary mechanical
ability can comprehend them, put them up and run them
without danger or difficulty.
PortGbitfy--The whole establishment can be very
quickly taken apart and put together, thus rendering it
easy to be moved from place to place asdesired. and saw
ing the necessity Of drawing the logs a long distance to
DurdbiHfy-It is constructed in the most solid and
substantial manner, runs perfectly still, is not liable to
get out of order, and will last for years without repair.
Rdpidity-It will saw faster than any other upright
upright mill. The speed Of the saw is about three bun
dred strokes per minute, and the feed from o~ne-eighth to
three-quartersO Of an inch per stroke. Thus, at a medium
speed the saw will cut through a log twenty-four feet
long in about three minutes. From this data any one
knowing the character Of the timber can calculate how
much il will do. .t.
EHicfency-It does its work well, cuts smoother and
s~traighter than the ordinary mills, and the arrangement
Of the saw is such as to render it utterly impossible for
it to run out of line.
ChedpneSs-The entire lost Of the mill, with fifteen
running, boxed and ready for shipment in st. Louis, is
only 81 1850.
This mill requires less power to drive than any other
mill, and the power furnished is ~suficient to drive extra
machinery.
Acircular containing full particulars will be sent to
any one desiring it. All ordert should be addressed to

From Utah.

From the various reports just now of
"recent dates from Utah." we are unable
to CLEAN anything reliable. The St. Louis
Republican appears to think the "war
ended" That paper Of the 18th publishes
the following dispatch:
BoOnUiUe, May Is, 1868.
An express arrived at Fort Leaven-
worth-on the 18th inst, from Camp Scott.
The Mormons had laid down their
arms. rlt
Governor Cumming upon the invitation
of Brigham Young had entered Great
Salt Lake City, without an escort.
Many Mormon men had gone to the
southern part of the Territory, and the
women and children were preparing to
follow them. .lsr
w. Nj. WILLING, Cl'k ]. H. Lucas.
The Republican further adds editori-
ally: -
The news which we make public this
morning, of the termination of the Nor
mon rebellion without bloodshed, will be
hailed with Joy all over the country. 1t
has cost a large sum of money, and not a
little suffering on the part of the forces at
Camp Scott, in preparations to put down
this rebellion; but it has shown that the
Government is capable of extraordinary
efforts, ard of furnishing insubordination,
even upon its remotest frontier. The
news will, so soon as it is authenticated,
put a stop to further military movements
in that direction. Supplies may be need
ed, and will probably be sent forward, for
the subsistence of the troops now in Utah
Territory, but allother preparations will
be suspended, and the troops which have
been concentrated at Fort L~eavenworth
and Jefferson Barracks, will again be
distributed TO their old posts. Vast ex-
penditures have been made in getting rea-
dy for this expedition, but the supplies of
provisions, munitions of war, horses and
animals, will not be lost to the Govern.
ment, and a tremendous draft upon the
treasury will be stopped. The early ter
mination of this expedition will make a
material difference in all Mr.. Secretary
Cobb's estimates for the demands upon
the treasury for a year to come. 1t will
make also a very material difference in
the calculations by individuals of their
profits under contracts with the Govern
ment, but they will have to submit to this
Disappointment.
We take it as certain, also, that the
President will not avail himself of the
power given to him to call into service
the three regiments of volunteers author.
lied by a law Of the present Congress
and here will be a saving at once of S4,.
100000. These curtailments in the an.
ticipated demand upon the Treasury come
most opportunely, and will make, in the
aggregate, a difference in the year'sex
penditures, of at least fifteen millions o.
dollars. a -

We publish to-day the proceedings of
the Democratic meeting held in this city
on Saturday last. The more we see of
attempts 10 draw party lines, BY organic
inc parties m this Territory at present,
the more we are convinced of the impro-
priey aud itnpractiGlitY Of such course,
The two meetings held in this city Of late
ought to satisfy every observing mind of
this truth. We always endeavor to be
plain and frank, upon all subjects, at all
times and in all places, and therefore
contend that it is folly to herald forth the
idea that the people are, or can be induced
at presentto work IN party traces. AS
we before stated, there is nothing under
Heaven calling for, or even justifying ii.
General interests and welfare have moth.
ing to gain, but much to lose, by such a
course. Were we about to elect delegates
to frame a Constitution or had we the pri-
vIege-as we ought to have-of elect
ing all our Territorial officers, and thus
there became a necessity for establishing
a policy, or asserting political principles,
then we admit it would be important to
draw party lines. But not until then.
We believe the people of this county
yea, Of the entire Ter ritory--wisely think
their local matters and home affairs of far
more Importance to them to-day than
anything else.
We are fully aware our course in this
matter does not suit some people-we dc
not expect it to. We would be truly a
singular people did we all think and ACT
alike. While we have a mind, we shall
do our own thinking while a tongue, dc
our own speaking /; and while we WELD a
pen as a journalist, do our own writing.
We shall be governed by our W convic-
tons of what is right, and for the general
good; and the dictates Of our own con-
science.

We learn from the St. Louis Republi-
can that the TEKAMA BANK bills are not
redeemed in that city as has been adver-
tised. Messrs. CARsoN & LUsHBAuGH,
bankers of this city, had returned to them
on Tuesday last, an amount they had sent
to Omaha for redemption, the Bank fail
ing to redeem it. At Omaha the bills are
said not to be worth 2 1I2 cents on the dol
lar. A gentleman just down from above,
informs US that the sheriff of Burt county
had seized upon the Banli and safe, which
he opened, but found nothing but Tekama

"WhO is II. G. wharton ~

A friend writing usfrom Washington,
under date May a., says:
"Your correspondent 'Wawko,' asks
who is H. C, Wharton, lately appointed
to West Point from NebraskaF In an
swer. l will say that he is a son Of Capt.
Wharton, who has for several years been
in command of Fort Kcarney, and that
the young ~appointee has been a resident
of Nebraska for about five years. Capt.
Wharton has become nearly disabled by
an affection of his eyes. 1t is rare you
find a truer hearted man anywhere.
Many a needy emigrant has been the re-
cipient of his hospitality, provided at his
own expense, when, as he was, upon the
outposts, he was poorly able to afford it.
Now when in danger of being obliged to
retire from the service on account of i'm
paired vision, it was deemed only an act
of justice to favor the application of his
son. Numerous members of Congress
applied to your Delegate in his behalf. j
think no fault can be found in the ap-
pointment." ..
We, like "Wawko, had felt an ankle
ty to know who this appointee was, and
are pleased to receive the above explana-
ION and place it before our Nebraska
readers.

Death of Mai Gen. Smith.

We clip the following from the Ledger,
Leavenworth, Kansas, Gen. Smith was
commander-in-chie Of the army of the
West. By his death, Gen. Harvey will
succeed to the command of the Utah army.
Gen. Percifer Smith died at his quar-
tiers at Fort Leavenworth, al l o'clock
yesterday morning. On his way here he
was obliged to stop in St. Louis for a few
days on account of his ill-health. While
there he gained SO speedily that hopes
we're entertained by his friends that he
would SOON be able to assume his position
as commander Of the Utah forces. On
the boat he waS again Frustrated, and he
was obliged to keep his state-room during
the whole trip. He arrived on Friday
evening by steamer Silver Heels, and was
carried from the boat to his quarters,
where he remained until his death. He
was a brave soldier, and though he was
advanced in years (about 75) and his
death entirely unexpected, still his loss
will be deeplyf felt by the officers and SOL
diers of the army. His remains are to
be sent home to his family for burial. An
elegant mahogany coffin has been prepar-
ed, tastefully carved and ornamented,
with a massive silver plate, on the top of
which are carved the name, rank and age
of the deceased.
