The Eject or the Homestead Law
aud the Pacific Railroad upon

me Eucct or the Homestead Law
aud the Pacific Railroad upon
Nebraska.
The Homestead BHlhas already become
a law. The Pacific Railroad Bill has
passed the House of Representatives by
a large majority. Itis strongly udvOca-
ted by all the leading papers Ofthe East.
Consequently there can be no reasonable
doubt of its passing the Senate.
The effect Of these two bills will be to
start a great tide of emigration for the
West, and especially to Nebraska. The
emigration viii certainly be very large
even before the War is over. If it was
only for the Homestead Law alone, many
of those coming west to secure its aGvan-
tages might prefer some other locality TO
Nebraska, on account of the scarcity of
timber; but the Pacific Railroad will
make land in Nebraska more desirable
end more valuable than in any other Ter.
rilory.
The construction Of the Road will re-
qdIrs q vast amount of labor, and conse-
quently vast quantities of provisions.
Whenever the road is commenced, Ne
braska will furnish a better market for
produce than any other portion Of the
IEnfted SAFES West of The ALLEGHENY
Mountains. Not only win the laborers
need provisions, but the emigration thai
comes into the Territory each year will
have to procure their living large cities
will spring up as if by magic, and will
create a home demand for all that can be
produced.
We think ihe "good time coming" fol
Nebraska cannot be much longer deferred.

We retain all that spoke Of as going

that We might lose in extent of terri

IN Interesting Relic.-Dr. Perkins
exhibited at the missionary meeting
at London last week a copy of the
New Testament, which he found in
Paris, which was seven hundred years
old. 1t was written in the ancient
Syriac language Qhe the same spoken
by Jesus Christ when on earth, upon
parchment with reed for a pen. OF
course, the volume was bulky,
though not as large as we should
suppose a Testament made i'll that
WY would be. It was not thicker
than Webster's unabridged, and not
more than two-thirds as large. DIR.
Perkins found three or four copies Of
the testament in this form in that
country, which were, if we under
stood him. the only written language
that people had. By the aid Of these
he made a language for the Nesto-
rians, and instructed them in it for
nearly thirty years. DIR. Perkins
said also that this New Testament
which had been transcribed in this
rude manner several times, and hand
ed down from the time Of Christ,
was in every important respect, the
same as the Word which we now
have-a remarkable proof Of the au-
thenticity of our Bible.-Caledonian,

We are glad to learn that the Gov

of a vast quantity of corn in dis
tillery in this city. which has hereto
fore been profiting on the vices Of the
community at at the rate of three OF

The Men Of Property.

]
i
| The men of property should awak'
to the realization of the nearer up
Iproach of danger. There are men o
means. who smoke their pipes and
talk about the war. bat all they d.
might be put in their pipes and pass
of with the smoke. Wedo not under.
stand men. who say they would burn
all their crops on the coming Of the
enemy, who hang fire when the propo-
sition is made to devote q tenth Of
their crops to keeping the enemy out
Of tho country. The reason is, we
suppose, because the first danger be-
ing the more remote, they may escape
the necessity altogether and have the
credit of their patriotic sentiments,
whilst the latter proposition meets
them face to face and demands an
immediate response. 1t looks, from
the indifference of some men and
their total abstinence from the con-
tributions necessary to fit out and
support the defence of the country,
as if they really did not care who
administered the government, Lincoln
or Davis, so that their property was
not interfered with. ALI they ask is
to be let alone and be ask for nothing.
as they offer nothing now. so will
they offer no resistance when the
enemy shall thunder at our doors
We tell those gentlemen that inaction
now is submission then and liz, at
this time, a prospective submission.
They are waiting for something or
somebody to turn up. whereby they
may avoid this involuntary sacrifice
Of part to save the whole. The
time has arrived when every man
must show his hand, and let it be seen
whether or not he no has n black
stripe across it's palm. The hand
that wi:hholds the means of carrying
on this war, when those means would !
only involve demand Of small part
Of the whole that would be thus pro-
tected, rs much belongs to Il traitor,
as does the hand of him who actively
aids the enemy. His Indirect aid only |
nficts n meaner and more dishon-
able stab on his country. His conduct
IS confession that his property is
learer to him than his country. All
nave theirpart to play in the approach
ng drama. Some with q personal
sacrifice, some with a property sac
'ifice. The young man. who, at the
threshold Of the enjoyments Of lite.
,ffers that life on the sacred altar Of
lis country, does a million times more
han the old rascal whose hands trem-
lie as they part with the few dollars
hat are intended to add to the comfort
# the hard life at best of the young
ter.
If our remarks show in strong
light the baseness of refusing to con-
ributc to the support Of this war. in
my of its many wants. we may be
ndulged with making a few more,
showing how this contribution could
De made. 1t can be made in property,
f not in money; in cotton, n few
,ales of which, at a sacrifice of half
Is value, would still produce some
