The men here have held an election, and
have sent a delegate to Congress and a
Representative to the Kansas Legislature.
They also sent a memorial, or petition to.
Congress to separate this part of the ter
'ritory from the eastern part, and make it
a separate territory. Since then. within
the past few days, two men arrived here,
claiming to have been sent from East
Kansas, to act as sheriff and Judge:
with orders 10 lay off a county, locate a
county seat, and, 1 suppose, fill the off
ces to the best advantage -; but by some
means, the men of the town below have
told them that they would not like toliEe

hear threatened to tar them. / do not
know how it will end. This land has the
Indian title over it yet, and there are re-
ports that the Indians are not pleased
with the rush Of emigration here. Con-
gress was also requested to treat yiththe
Indians for the safely of the whites

all hold claims on This land, and if they
were so disposed, no doubt they could

MCLean'S COrdiaL

As may be seen, we insert this week the advertise
ment of McLean's Cordial. m
cit is we'll known we are not particularly favorable to
patent medicines, and, as a general thing, eschew thd
whole Of them with but little ceremony, and with these
entiment we declined inserting this advertisement
until we knew what were the ingredients of the medi-
cine, and how compounded. This we have learned, and
believing, as we DO, that the ingredients are good, ane
the compound judieiously made, we recommended it az
a mixture worthy Of public confidence"
The above is from the st. Louis Christian Advocate,
edited by the celebrated Rev sDr. McAnally, which
speaks volumes in favor Of McLean's Cordial. We say
to all, try it. See the advertisement in another col

Annexation in Cass County.

A meeting of the citizens Of Cass
County was held at Plattsmouth on the
23d. From the committee appointed to
report upon the propriety of annexation,
there were two reports majority and
minority. We have not seen the major
ity report, but have before US that of the
minority, made by A. H. T~OwNsHEND,
ESQ.,, of Plattsmouth. 1t is the most able
document we have read upon that subject.
He does. not once touch upon personal,
local, or political matters and connect them
with this subject but treats entirely up
on general principles: AID in so clear
and impressive a manner we wonder that
any should fail to be convinced Of the
propriety and Importance Of annexation.
We would like to publish the report.
but at present cannot for the want OF
space. We may, however, do so at some
future time.
AS Cass County, in case of Annexa-
ton, would be thrown directly onto the
ledge" of the new State, we expected Oh
that account a serious opposition but
are rejoieed to know that such men as A,
H. TOWNSEND, and E. A. DoNELAN, and
others of like intelligence and influence
favor the project.
The following paragraph we extrac
from a private letter received from a gen.
tleman in Cass County: roam
sPublic sentiment at present in this County, i
rather against annexation say three to two; bu
as yet, there has been no decisive Judgment render
cd, nor earnest inves ~tigation. Appearances thougi
are as favorable as the most ardent friends of tn
project could desire; for there is a constant, stead,
accession to its supporters, as it becomes moro full.

Douglas reelected to the United
!. States Senate.

The Legislature of Illinois, in joint
session, on the fifth inst, reelected Hon.
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS United States
Senator from that State, for six years from
the 4th of March next. A Springfield
dispatch says: "Long before the Gen
eral Assembly met in joint session, at two
O'Clock this afternoon, the galleries were
crowded with spectators of both sexes
A band was stationed outside the hall,
and the Democratic headquarters were
draped with the stars and stripes.
when the roll was called, every Rep.
re~sentative was in his seat. The deepest
excitement was exhibited in every coun.
tenance. Barrett, Of Springfield, nomi-
mated Douglas. Judd, of Chicago, lher
nominated Lincoln, when the roll was a
once called. The vote stood precisely a:
follows: Senate, Douglas, IA; Lincoln
IL; House, Douglas 40; Lincoln, 35
This result was received with tremendou;
enthusiasm. The utmost confusion pre-.
vailed, the Hobbies yelling, galleries shrek
ing, and bands playing. AnadjOurnmen
was Immediately made"
The freemen of the North, the South
the East and the West, have spoken on
in language not to be misunderstood

~cessful "champion of the peoples rights

PHEN A. DOUGLAS, ofhe United &ates!'
and as such, is welcomed wherever h,
goes, by thousands of his scountrymel
without distinction of party! Is Their
not a significance in this, highly crafty

same time a fair warning to those VIII
are whining and barking about hi

There are some men-thank God, W

Of Stephen A. Douglas. The eyes c
the nation are turned towards him, an
his star is growing brighter and brighter

and u%nspeakable b~rilliancy. Let the de
famers bark and howl, they cannot ARE:
his manifest destiny his star is VI
ward and onward, and cannot be stricke
from its undimed and cloudless horizon
Douglas stands a head higher to-day tina
any man in the nation, and if justice b
done him, he will be the successful star

Arrest and Suicide.

On Thursday last a man named s.. o..
Arnold was arrested by S. H. Clayton
and Geo. Simpson, a few miles above this
city, on suspicion of having stolen a horse
and yoke of cattle. His captors brought
him to misplace and delivered him over
to the proper authorities, by whom he was
confined in a room in the Brownville
House to await an examination next day
before a Justice of the. Peace.
Friday noon, while the guard were at
dinner, Arnold committed suicide by
hanging himself with a leather strap at
tached to the bed-rail. He had written
a letter after his arrest, to his wife in Ne
braska City, giving her detailed instruc-
tions and information in regard to his f.
%nancial affairs, but declaring his inno-
cence of the crime with which he was
charged.
The circumstances surrounding Arnold
his Operations, and the final termina-
ton of his career, are of the most sIngu-
lar character. He was of a good family,
had a good education-was a graduate of
Michigan University-was possessed of a
reasonable and comfortable share of
means and property. His operations on
ly extended a distance of about twenty
five miles-between Nebraska City and
Sonora Island. After Mr. Clayton, had
repleyined the horse stolen from him by
Arnold, from a man in whose care Ar
mold had left it for keeping, Arnold came
the mex night to Clayton's house to stay
over night, whcnhe was arrested by Clay
ton and Simpson. In five minutes after
being placed in the hands of the officers,
he wrote the letter to his wife above re.
ferred to, and Immediately attempted tc
take his life by eating glass! Before the
guard went to dinner, they searched aud
took from his pocket pieces of a broken
tumbler andhis knife. The strap with
which he hung himself-a small leather
one, not more than three feet in length
was not dreamed Of being a means he
could use by which to terminate his life.
On the return of the guard he was found
dead, PROSTATE, with his face and Shout
ders elevated not more than six inches
from the floor, his hands perfectly free,
suspended onlyfrom the bed rail.
A few hours after Arnold had hung
himself, the sheriff of Otoe county
reached here in pursuit of him, on anoth-
er charge; andit is, said a number of suf-
ferers by loss of horses, and their friends
were in waiting between this place and
Nebraska City, for the purpose of taking
the prisoner from the officer and hanging

surplus Corn in Nemaha COunty.

We have, since the maturing of the
corn crop, known that there was a very
large surplus of corn in this county but
find it to be much greater than anticipat-
ed. In three months past, there has not
a day passed that from thirty to sixty
wagon loads Of corn have not been deliv-
cred to u produce men in this city. One
day last week we counted Ufy-tlrO wag-
ons loaded with corn, waiting their turn
TO unload at CRAxE & HnL's anG /. T.
WHYTE's.
There is a surplus Of Corn in tbs coun-
ty of not less than fee hundred housand
bushels. This will give something of an
idea of the farming operations in Nema.

The majority Of hair washes, hair dyes. hair tonics
hair oils, and the numerous preparations which are
now before the public under such extravagant, hyper
bo!ical and fantastic titles as we see paraded in show
window cardl, and newspaper headings, as hair prepara-

real merit, when they possess any, is that they DO no
harm. Hogs lord, whale oil, lard oil, sweet oil, scented
and colored, make up, when in beautiful wrappers. and
