We find in the Cincinnati Daily Tines
of the oath. ult., under the head '4West-
ern Towns" the following complimentary
notice of city, and of our enlerPrising
Bankers, LUsHDAUoH & Carson.
While many embryo cities in the
promised lands of the West. laid OUT
along the shores of the Missouri a year
or two ago, in the full expectation of
rising in a season or SO to metropolitan
dimensions, have now as wholly disap-
paared from the surface of terra frtna as
Herculaneum or Pompeii, there are a
few well selected positions in which, ever
since the frst building was erected, the
growth Of population has been very rapid.
Brownville, ia Nebraska Territory, has
attained a large population, and is the
emporium of quite a considerable trade
the very weH improved agricultural dis
trict back of it, is undoubtedly helping to
build it up and nurture its present pros
porous condition. A frst-class real estate
agency has been established in Brown
vile by Messrs. L~ushbaugh s. Carson,
whose references to eastern houses, bank
ers and merchants, &C.. include some of
the rost reliable firms in the country !;
and to these on recommendation of Mr..
T. Shinkwin, Law Reporter for the As
sociated Press of this city, (who is well
acquainted with the standing of MeSsrS.
L. & c. the Hon. VIM, S. Groesbeck,
late Representative for the Second Con-
gressional District of this State, Judge
Storer of the Superior Court Of Cincin-
natl, and Henry Kessler, Esq, Sheriff Of
Hamilton County, have added their
names"

it cheaper to build jails than to educate
u children in good morals 4" and still
others who desire to be surrounded by the
walls of a dungeon, rather than those of
an Academy, we are forced to admit The
necessity for jails.
But seriously, "BrownUiHe, don't you
think that a good educational system. aud
a high standard Of morals would greatly
decrease the necessity for jails, and be far
cheaper. too? We do.
AS TO the sensiliveness Of "BRowE-
VILE" in regard TO children being led
ucated with money derived from licenses
It is far-fetehed. By the same reasoning.
or rather over-sensitiveness, the poor
boy, unable to educate himself, would re-
fuse an education under the common free
school system, now prevalent in almost
every State and Territory 10 this Union,
because among the many taxpayers there
shonld be a few men who had grown
rich in the manufacture or traffic in IN
toxicating liquors! Or the christian
would refuse TO read his Bible because it
might have been printed by al immoral,
unregenerated printer. To paraphraze
a medly quotation we believe INN all
your gettings, get education-honeslly if
you can-but get education.

March 25th, 1860.

FRIrND FURNAs: You will perceive by
the date of this that we are fairly on our
way, and have made pretty good time Sc
far, having travelled Eve days and made
about one hundred and twenty-five
miles, and that, too, over The worst
part of our journey. I'VE reached
here yesterday Saturday about two
O'Clock A. NJ. where we are now comfort
ably housed up for Sunday. Our friend
Hackney is G ~pioneerin his way Of enter
tanning his friends and guests. He is
located about a days travel from the
Little Sandy, near the point, where the.
Brownyille road ~intersects the road from
Leavenworth to Fort Kearney, and al
though he has been here but about n
year, has things put up in better style
than any other establishment we have
sren between this point and Brownville,
when be completes the improvements he
is now making he will doubtless make as.
good a show as any other Ranch keeper
on the road.
We have not yet seen much-of the life
and excitement of travel on this road.

The County Commissioners of this coun-
ty, at their last session, perpetruted q
hugh joke on a fractional township in the
extreme Southwest corner Of the county,
range II, Township four-named it Bu-
chanan! We entertain serious doubts as
to the future of hat township. Don't
believe the soil hereafter will produce
even white beans; fear the Inhabitants.
if any are in it, or dare remove there,
will be iormented with ague, apparitions,
and all manner of similar Affections; the
same disease that ran a lot of swine into
the sea, of olden time, will visit the
neighbours hogs; sheep will be killed of
by the wolves and horses and cattle die
with the "sick stomach"
Seriously we think the naming of the
townships should have been left to the
inhabitants Of each.

JailSYS. School Houses.

"BRowNvfLLE," the Brownyille cor
responder of the Neruaha City Herald, il
seems prefers Jails 70. School Houses. Sc
we infer from the following:
"The advertiser. in an article asks /:
is il cheaper 10 build jails than it is to
educate our children in good morals, and
thus prevent their becoming inmates Of
our prisons r.
."Fufnas' hobby is education for the peo-
pie or rather the children of the people
land right here allow me thank him for
his noble devotion TO the cause of Educa-
tioa.
"Furnas also framed, and was instru-
mental in the passage Of our present IL
eense law, and in his zeal for education,
o%ppropriates the revenue arising from IL
censes, 10 the school fund.
bah! Only think of il! Educating our
children with money derived from such a
source! Who wants to have their chill
dren, as they grow to be men and women
tainted with the fact, hat they were edu-
Gated with money derived from license to
manufacture ~drunkardSF
IL hope our next Legislature win so
amend the license law, as will devote the
revenue arising iherefrom TO its proper
object-the building and support of coun-
" and State prisons. Then it would not
be many years before we would have a
strong and durable jail in
"BROWNVILLE."
Well, there is said to be "Ro accounting
for differences of taste" If there were
no advocates for jails. either by word or
conduct, there would be no need for them.
Hence, while we have among us, those
who prefer "strong and durable %jails," to
good school houses; and others who think

The L%eavenworth and Denver Express,
extra, passed yesterday soon after we ar
rived. 1t stopped a m and we had
an interview with your old friend Gen.
Larrimer, who was aboard with six other
passengers bound for Denver.
We supposed when We left the Beatrice
settlement hat we had passed the Rubi-
con of civilization, and that we should
not again meet with any sign of settle
ment, only occasionally a ranch on the
route to Fl. Kearney till we arrived at
Denver. In this, however. we were disap-
pointed. After crossing Cub Creek, abou,
six miles this side of Beatrice, we passed
over an open prairie, for about twenty
miles to the Little Sandy and thence 10
the Big Sunday, (near to where it meets
the Little Blue, about three miles, at
PattersOn's Ranch, where we camped
Friday night.
The pioneer has made his way tothese
streams, and from the Little Sandy to the
place where we strike Is mile Ridge, all
the timber claims seems to be occupied.
Here are settlements directly west from
Brownville for a distance of about one
hundred miles, which naturally would
make Brownville their point for trade.
There is not a better natural road any
where to the Missouri river, from the
Little Sandy via Beatrice and Tecumseh
to Brownrille. and a few days work upon
the crossings would make it all thatcould
be desired. Yours,
