From the Gold Mines.

Our townsman a. C. EDwARDs arrived
here on Saturday last, direct from the
Gold Mines. This is the second trip Mr..
Edwards made to the mines. He gives
encouraging accounts of the success and
prospects of the Nebraska Gold Mines.
He returns in the spring, and will be ac-
c~ompanied by quite a number from this
place and vicinity.
Nh. FIELDS who also went fro this
place, and has Just returned, called at our
Office yesterday. He looks hearty, and
gives cheering accounts from the mines.
He, too, will return in the spring.

VIII some people run mad7

We had great hopes hat the Harper's
Ferry reasonable affair would ultimately
result in great good to the country, by
demonstrating to Northern and Southern
Interfering fanatics, the suicidal ten
denotes of their fearful doctrines. While
this outbreak may be the legitimate fruits
of "irrepressible conflict and tall slave
or all free" doctrines the "slave protect
ing code'' policy cannot fail to produce
like fruit. It is a happy reflection, how
ever, to know that such Union destroying
doctrines are promulgated only by extre-
mists of the two sections of country, and
meet with no favor from the masses of all
parties of the country, who recognize
only the true principle calculated to
cement and preserve US as a nation, "nOn-
interference"
We hope every man, black or white,
in the North or the South, East or West,
who has been connected with the Har-
per's Ferry outbreak, may be dealt with
according to law in such cases made and
provided" and suffer a like penalty with
Brown, Cook and others. While we ex-
press such a hope, we assert our belief
that the writer of such in%aammatory arti-
cles as the following, which we copy
from the Richmond (Va.) Wing, should
share a like fate. The sooner the. country
is rid Of all such. hail from what quarter
they may, the better off it will be:
$4,000 REwARD.-JosHuA r. GID-

Traitor In a lecture at Philadelphia, on
the 28th of October, and there being no
process, strange TO say. by which he can
be brought to Justice, | propose to be one
of a hundred to raise $4,000 for his de-
livery in Richmond, or $4,000 for the
production Of his head. do not regard
this proposition, extraordinary as it may
at first seem, either unjust or unmercifuI.
The law Of God and the Constitution of
his country both condemn him to death.
For satisfactory reasons l withhold my

Of the editor of the Richmond Wing
There will be no difficulty 1 am sure in
raising the $4,000 upon a reasonable
prospect of getting the said Giddings to

The past week we were favored with a
visit from H. G. PEAsE, Esq, Agent for
the St. j. & H. R. R. Mr.. Pease is
.canvassing this upper country on business
connected with the road. He informs Us
hat the company are making arrange
ments to put on, early in the spring, three
number one packets to run regularly
from St. Joseph to Council Bluffs--the
popular steamer Omaha will most likely
be in the Ene-and as the business in
creases, boats will be added. The bene-
fits our business men and the travelling
community received the past year through
the efforts of this company, places them
under renewed obligations to extend a
preferred patronage the coming season
We need reliable shipping and travel
ing facilities, and should not fail to en-
courage and ~patronize every effort 10 es-
tablish such an accommodation. Our
people understand their true interests,
and will act accordingly.

A good story is told by a Lancaster

ring Mr.. Buchanan's recent visit to

to a brakeman on the train between Co.

him:

New Arrangement.

Ihave disposed of nay interest in the
material Of the Advertiser Office to L. E.
LYANEA, ESQ, who viii hereafter take
charge of the mechanical department, l
still retaining the position as Editor. We
form a co-partnershiP, for the future
transaction of business, under the name
of FuREAs & LYANSA. Mr.. Lyanna
is a practical printer, and is well
known in this community where he has
resided for the last three years. This
arrangement will enable me to devote
my time exclusively to the editorial and
outdoor department; thus making a more
useful paper; extending its circulation,
and increasing the business Of the con.
Germ,
We shall renew our efforts to make
the Advertiser worthy the increased sup
port, not only of the citizens of this city
and county, but the whole Territory. We
expect of the citizens of Brownville, for
. whose particular interests we have, and
will continue increasingly to labor, to ex-
tend to US all the patronage they possibly
can commandment to make extra eff
forts. There has not been, nor will there
be a period in our progress as a city,
when a united, energetic effort, on the
part of every resident, is more needed
and will accomplish more than nOw. We
see and feel such to be the fact, and shall
act accordingly, and trust every we'll
wisher of our growing and prosperous
young city will do the m

DEAN OF HOE. Fenner FergusOn.

We learn from the last Omaha Repu-
Wican that Hon. Fenner Ferguson, late
Delegate in Congress from this Territory,
died at his residence in Bellevue on Fri
day the 10Th inst.
Judge Ferguson was, we believe, a
native of the State of New York. In
early life he removed to Michigan and
settled in the town Of Albion, IN the
practice Of his profession. While a resi-.
dent there, he was chosen to the Legisla-
ture for one term. In 1854, upon the
passage of the Nebraska Bill, he received
from President Pierce the appointment
of Chief Justice of Nebraska, and reno.
we'd thither with his family in the autumn
of that year, locating at Bellevue. He
discharged the duties Of Judge with abb
lily and impartiality, and to the satisfac-
ton Of the people of his District.
HE was the Delegate from this Ter.
ritory during the last Congress, having
been chosen in August, 1857. His seal
was contested by B. B. Chapman, but
without success, the House deciding in
favor of Judge Ferguson.
"He was a man of superior abilities.
and possessed many fine social qualities.
He,was a good citizen, and his presence
among US will long be missed. He has
been cut down in the full prime and vigor
of his life, leaving a wife and three chill
dren to mourn their irreparable loss
May they have hat consolation which
alone can bring solace and comfort to the
deeply afflicted"
Nebraska advertiser., 1859-11-24

The undersigned has faithfully search
ed the organic act and the statutes Of the
Territory, in vain, for any law comforting
on the Governor of this Territory even
the s~emblance of such power Of appoint
ment, and is therefore constrained 70 be-
lieye tnat, IN assuming this power, his
Excellency must have acted under some
illusion. The undersigned, accordingly,
insists that the abstract Of votes purport-
ing to be certified by the clerk of Buffalo
county, must unavoidably, be altogether
rejected.
The objection already stated to the
Buffalo county abstract being, IN the OPT
Mon Of the undersigned, of itself, per-
fectly conclusive, it is not strictly necessa-
ry for him to adduce any other. But he
deeIs it proper, nevertheless, to show
that to receive and count these votes,
would be no less unjust and immoral than
it would be illegal.
Within the bounds of Buffalo county
two pretended polls of election were OPP
ened. At these polls ffty-four ballots
were taken or counted. The remainder
of the above mentioned 292 votes, viz:
23S votes were taken or counted at Fort
Kearney, a place VIGOROUSLY not within
the limits of Buffalo county, and in a pre-
tended precinct containing, in all, less
than twenty-five inhabitants having the
qualifications of voters prescribed by law.
The undersigned preferring to restrict
himself to a simple statement Of facts
and the legal deductions therefrom, re-
trains from any commentary on the facts
last stated, except to say that, if your
honorable body entertain any doubt of
their truth, he stauds ready i~ncontestably
to prove them by sworn and unimpeach-
able evidence.
In conclusion, the undersigned, having
as he is informed and believes received
the highest number of the legal votes of
the people of this Territory, respectfully
demands, in their behalf as well as III his
own, a certificate of his election as the
Territorial Delegate to the Both Con-
gress.

The Omelal Vote Of the territory.

"Why don't you publish the official vote
of the Territory 2" is asked of as daily
since the Canvassing Board met. We
have only to say that We have looked fol
it in our Omaha exchanges with as much
anxiety as any one else could; we have
written 10 friends at the capital to procure
it for us, and the answer is, 81 ~endeavor-
ed to procure the official vote for you.
bun failedln There, now, reader, you
have all we know, or can obtain in regard
TO the official vote Of the Territory. Il
is the invariables custom in all other States
and Territories-has heretofore been in
thisLto publish the official vote, and, for
the life of US, we can't see the particular
object in making a "neU regulation" in
regard 10 that matter in Nebraska, al
though there Is a precedent for such q
movement in the controlling Of the public
printing last year. 1t may be that "DOu-
glas' great MEASURE is not yet fully
