Where is the Steam Wagon? Will the Ne
braska City News post us We Peakers are
getting anxious to see it.-ROcky Mountain
.Ne,os
The Steam Wagon is here. 1t started on its
first trip to the mountains, and had proceeded
few miles when defective shaft broke, and stop
ped further progress Gen. Brown, the proprie-
tor, had to go to New York. where the patterns
were, to get new one made During his pres
ence in New York, the Sioux Indians began their
disturbances, and destroyed Gen. BIown's proper
ty and carried his family into captivity This ren-
dered it necessary for him to go to Minnesota,
and remain there. He took command of an ex-
pedtion against the Indians, and recovered his
family. The Sioux destroyed about $4,000
worth of his property. The loss, he says, will
"delay operations for the present" but will not
force him to abandon the steam wagon enterprise
If he could have returned at the time he expected
to, when he left here, the wagon would probably
have made one or two trips to Denver. Our
county authorities are building a road through
the county of such low grades that the wagon
will have no difficulty in travelling, and the pro-
priotor intends to expend a considerable amount
of money upon the road between our county line
and Fort Kearny. Beyond the latter point no
steep grades are anticipated.
In addition to the wagon now here, Gen. B r
has made contract with Mr.. Reed, an engine
builder of New York city, for the construction of
six new steam wagons. Two to be delivered here
in April, and the remainder before the close Of
the season.
This contract, and other evidences from dsin-
terested parties, of influence, in the East, have
assured the Board of Trade of this city, and the
Commissioners of Otoe county, that the enterprise
will be pushed forward and upon the recommen-
dation of those two bodies the citizens of the
county and city are aiding the matter materially
and efficiently.
By the middle of April the echoes of your
gulches will be awakened by the shrill whistle of
the steam wagon-the. first of regular line Of
"Prarie Motors" from Nebraska City.-Ne5ras-

Shinplasters.

The rebels have had year the start of us in
the beatitudes of "shinplasters," and money in
Dixie has become literally "flthy lucre" The
Richmond Examiner, with doleful pleasantly,
tells us that the ragged representations Of value
called "currency" are so abundant and worthless
in the rebel capital that even beggars receive it
with reluctance, and that:
"The enterprising newsboy who sells you your
morning papers will break you fifty if your
cnange is scarce, and forthwith produces wallet
bursting with shinplasters The little picaninie to
whom you throw your bride reins at the hotel en-
trance when you come to cast him the pittanc he
expects, dsturbs your gravity by whipping from
his pocket, with look of business, wallet Of
overpowering size, and adding the shinplaster to
his collection. The market women reek with the
shinplasters, and shopkeepers draw them lazy
over their counters as though tired of raking the
shinplasters into their ts. The pursuit of the
shinplasterrs has come to be pain, and their
possession has ceased to be a pleasure. The
God of Mammon is held by no affinity to the
shinplaster. 1t lacks the essential sound-the
clear jingle of the copper penny. Aack rare is
the silvery laugh of the specie unhedrd, except
by the miserly hoarders as they stir the
coin up in their unhidden Golfers lulling it to sleer
with the tune of the sold Hundred per centum.'

THE MoNIToRs.-The new Monitors are not up
to time. They should all have been afoat before
now, according to contract. Nor do those ahoat
answer to specifications, in many important re-
spects They are under power and slow. The
innovation of attempting to fire the 13-inch guns
within the turrets, without protruding their muz-
zles, seems not to answer, and the notifications
necessary in consequence involves delay at time
when these vessels should be in active service
The Monitors are not sea-going vessels, whatever
may be alleged to the contrary, and it is doubtful
if they can be got down to Charleston and Mo
bile in winter weather.

AMERICANS IN PARIs.-A letter from Paris,
speaking of the absence of Americans from that
gay metropolis, says
"The greatest change which find to have taken
place in this city, compared with former periods,
is social rather than political one. The whole
sale absence Of Americans is the subject of uni
versal remark. They seem to have almost disap-
peared en- masse. Many of our Oldest resident
country people have left US. The host of wealthy
citizens of the United States, who crowded the
best hotels and lived in the most sumptuous apart
ments of Paris, has dwindled down to the few
who are compelled to linger behind on account Of
bealth or some other imperative motive. All
others have thought it their duty or found it ne
cessity to return home, either for public or pri-
vate affairs, and the lament is loud and long on
the part of inukeepers, lodging house prOprietorsy
who have so long been accustomed to profit by
the transatlantic wealth and luxury. The same
general lamentation of the fact follows you

WASHINGTON DICTAToR.-Some reference has
been made to the dctatorial powers conferred on
General Washington during the war of the Revo-
luton They are contained and enumerated in
resolve of Congress, dated the 9th of Deem
Der, l776, and were limited to the term of six
months. With a single exception they relate ex-
clusively to the organization and control and sup
port of the army, and confer no civil authority
The exception alluded to is of character to de-
serve attention at this moment. 1t is the last
enumerated power, and reads thus "To arrest
and confne persons who refuse to take the Cont
mental currency, or are otherwise disafected to
the American cause; and return to the States, Of
which they are citizens, their name, and the
nature of their offences, together with the witness
es to prove them"

The signers of the Declaration of indie
pendence.

One of the most remarkable circumstances at
tending the fortunes of the signers of the Decla-
rBtion OF Independence, was the the tranquility
in which their after lives were passed. and the late
period to which they were protracted. writer
in a Northern journa. says;
Most of the signers Of the declaration of ANA
rican Independence lived to a good old age,
crowned with civil honors bestowed by the graft
tude of the republic, ard some of them perished
by mere decay of the powers of nature. Of the
hfty-six who affixed their signatures to that docu-
ment, twenty seven lived to an age exceeding
seventy years, and forty to an age Of sixty. Only
two Of the number-Gwinet, of Georgia. who fel
in duel in his 45th year ,and Lynch, of South Car
olina, who was shpwrecked in his 60th.-died a
violent death. Twenty-one lived to the begin
ming of the present century and thee were per-
mitted to see the great experiment of represen-
tative Confederacy cofrmed by the events Of fifty
years. Of all the delegates from New York and
New England, only one( (Whipple, of New Hamp-
shire)died at an earlier age than sixty. Never in
the world had the leaders in any bold and grand
political movement more reason to congratulate
themselves and the country on the issue. The ex-
ertons and perils of their manhood were succeed
ed by peaceful, honored and ripe old age, in
which they witnessed the happy result of the in
stitutions they had aided in deyising, and they
we're gathered to their graves amid the regrets Of
the generation which was in its cradle when they
laid the foundations of the republic.
