GREAT DISTRIBUTION,

The Bulletin correspondent of the 9th Of October
in critcising the different Photographic Pictures at
the last State Fair says
tsOn the opposite wall hang the contributions Of
J. Shew Of San Francisco. These also are most cred
liable specimens Of the Photographic art. Among
them is lfe-size head and bust Of Senator Broder-
ick-probably the most perfect which has been made
of the late Senator Side by side with these, hang
series of most wretched bels on the art contributed
by some one in Nevada. They serve however TO
set of to better advantage the productions ofmore
skifu competitors.
As that paper don't give then of theartist who
send such pictures, it must be known that A.

published in the papers Of Nevada, that he was the

THE BOUNDARY SURvEY.-Lieut. Mowry
United States Boundary Commissioner
writes, under date of Los Angeles, January
3Oth, 1861, to friend in San Francisco
saying:
IL have been obliged to return here en-
route to San Francisco, partly on account
of the failure of your Legislature to appoint
a Commissioner on the part Of the State to
meet me-(as l had hoped) at Fort Mojave
this month-and partly because our late
lamented friend, Secretary Thompson, had
too much to do with Mississippi affairs, and
his Commissionership to South Carolina,
suppose, to attend to the duties Of two Off
ces. Latham and Campbell (Thomson's
confidential clerk) wrote TO me that should
have TO 60 it alone, until affairs could set
tie down in some way, and like good
General must take care not to separate
myself from my resources, as | should be
obliged to do if | made the reconnaissance
in person of the country between the 35th
and 39th parallels on the boundary line.
Next to going myself l confidently believe

with small company of some twelve men,
to explore and report upon the country ly-
ing on and near the line. AS we'll as they
can traverse it, between my observatory,

of better data, that Goddard's position Of

as accurate a barometric profile as the ma
ture of the march will permit--also an eX-
cellent mineralogist. l shall Immediately
return to San Francisco to arrange some
business connected with the Commission.
and hope by the time arrive to meet the
State Commissioner. We can together pro-
ceed to the Colorado, agree upon the initial
point as fixed by Ives observations, erect

Plain Talk About Produce.

We are getting almost out of patience
with those Of our ~deIinquents who have
been pleading poverty for one, two, three,
and some ever four years. We have
always been disposed to be easy with
those owing us-entirely too much so for
our own good-adopting the saying, olive
and let live :" trying to worry through
the hardships incident to a new country,
and therefore have never been urgent in
our demands never asked fer a cent in
cash, produce or trade, that necessity did
not compel us to ask for. We know
money is next thing to an impossibility,
and while that and nothing else will pur-
chase U paper, ink and the stock, we
have always been content with trade
"ehips and whetstones''-wheG the scar
city Of money was offered as an excuse
for being in arrears. This year the crops
Of all kinds have been abundant, and the
promises to pay latter harvest equally so.
We have had a standing proposition in
our paper to pay % per cent. more than
any body else pays for produce, and yet
we have to pay cash, while we have
several thousands of dollars standing out,
that we are as well convinced could he
paid, as we are that we exist. Friends,
you must come up to the work; we must
have our winter stock of hay, corn, wheat,
flour, potatoes and wood laid in. On all
such delivered before the 18th Of Novem-
Der, we will agree to pay on Indebtedness
over one year old, 30 per cent. more than
any body else viii pay. After hat time
we will allow the cash price for trade and
produce, be it high or low, and no more.
And hereafter, when men want to pay us
in trade, payment must be made i~nyaria-
bly, IN advance.

About the Next Session OF The
LEGISLATURE.

When the fact was first announced that
this Territory would be required to pay a
direct tax Of $4,000, in support of the
war for the preservation Of the Union,
many were the plans spoken Of BY which
it could be done. Among others, that Of
adjourning the Legislature Immediately
after converting, and appropriate the
money, given by Congress to defray the
expenses thereof, to the payment Of the
direct tax. This plan appeared to suit
almost every one, and so far as our knowl-
edge and observation extends, does yet,
PROVIDED, that it can be done. The
Legislature of course has not the power
to divert the funds donated by Congress
for a special purpose; Congress alone
can do it. We have been, and are yet,
an advocate of that plan. if it IS practical
bic and can be brought about. In order
that the Legislature might act so as to
accomplish this end, it ought to Enow be-
fore it acts, whether such action would
secure the object sought. For we hold
that it is not the part of wisdom to reject
the preferred aid of the General Govern
ment, and derive no benefit from it what
ever. If the sum usually appropriated
annually to defray Legislative expenses
5000 600 we believe-cannot or Will not
be diverted to the payment of our direct
tax, we cannot afford to send it back into
the National Treasury. Better, we think,
that the members consume it by holding a
regular session., and thus secure and dis
tribute it throughout the Territory. 1t
will then be where it Will be used in the
payment of the tax referred to. We can
bat view this matter in this light, and in
so saying believe we reflect the views Of
the Nemaha Delegation and the commu-
nifty generally.
We repeat, if the desired object can
be secured, or there is any reasonable
prospect that it can, by an immediate ad-
jourament, by all means adjourn.

Sman Farms M0Sf P%rOntable.

A ''besetting sin" Of Farmers, the
world over, is to undertake to cultivate
more land than they can attend to adj
vantage. "Whatever IS worth doing at
all is worth doing WE'LL" was n of
Poor Richards" proverbs; and it is
as appropriate to agriculture, as to any
thing else. Another sold adage," equal
ly to the point, is Zone years seeding
makes nine years wedding" Where
farmers have too much land under Cul-
tivation it increases their expenses and
decreases their profits. To illustrate
we know farmers who the last season,
raised from thirty u sixty acres Of wheat;
in their hurry, it was badly put in and
badly harvested they had to buy a por-
ton of their seed. at a high price witk
cash. They had to buy fencing hire
help in building fence in putting in
seed in harvesting and in thrashing.
The consequence was they were "out Of
pocket" about 40 cents for every bush
ell Of wheat they received. If, after taxi
ing it to market, they get 80 cents a
bushel they will be ten cents a bushel
worse off than if they had lain in bed
all the time they spent with their wheat.
IF they had sown less, and done all the
work themselves, though they might not
this season have received large wages,
yet they would have lost nothing, even
if they had sold their wheat at twenty
FIVE cents per bushel.

Mr.. John MCGEE, a governmental agent,
who arrived from the Hannibal & St.
Joseph Railroad yesterday afternoon,
gives US the following details Of a spirited
skirmish which took place in Carroll
county on last Saturday.
Col. Morgan, whose regiment, the
Eighteenth Missouri, is stationed at La
clede, in Linn county, having heard of
the d%epredatiOns Of a gang of rebels near
the joing line of Carroll. Charlton, and
Livingston counties, started out on last
Friday night about nine o'clock, with a
force Of two hundred and twenty men,
composed Of cavalry, infantry and artil-
lery, with two six-pound cannon, in pur-
suit of them.
He proceeded rapidly about twenty
miles, in a a southwest direction, which
brought him to Big Hurrican Creek, in
Carroll county, where they learned they
were in the n~eighborhood Of the enemy.
At this point they came upon an old man,
whose name our informant does not re-
who told them that a rebel force
of five or six hundred men had crossed
the creek, aud were some distance along
the road. Col. Morgan crossed the
creek Immediately, and while passing
along the road, up a deep and muddy ra-
vine, suddenly found himself ambuscaded,
the cid man having deceived him as to
the whereabouts Of the enemy. His
command received a very distressing
fire from the rebels, who were posted be-
hind the trees and brush. As 5000 as the
to be returned the rebels scattered,
and were pursued in smoll squads, with
success. The two pieces Of artil-
-ery, under Lieut.. Dawson, did excellet
service in cleaning them out of the thick
The pursuit continued until late on
Saturday afternoon, when Col. Morgan
his men together, and with the
wounded and prisoners marched back to
Laciede. Two of his men were mortally
wounded, and are probably dead at this
Their names are A. Scraggs,
