. OAAHA, March 10, 1854.
The Territorial Legislature Of Nebraska has
adjourned after forty days session. We be.
lieve they have worked faithfully for the in
terests Of the TeEritoly. It Is confidently ex.
pected that Congress, during. their present
session, Will admit Nebraska into tho Union
The corporation for bridging Loup Fork
and Platte river Is new fully organized, and
books Of subscription will be opened at Oma-
ba, Chicago and New York city on the 1st Of
Marcb. When these bridges are completed we
artificial, from the Missouri river to ColoFa-
do, Utah and Idaho. There Will be without
doubt, during the present season, new wagg
on road constructed from the ncighhorhood
Of the mouth Of Deer Greek {some 50 miles
west Of Fcrt Laramie) in nearly direct
foats Foot to The H ed un nea{E ed{EsS sstpst Fl ts
Rocky Mountains, aud 1t Is expected that 1t
will not only save several hundreds Of miles
traycl, but also save tHo useless crossings Of
the Rocky Mountains. Previous to this Time
em1grants for Idaho travelling up the Platte
Valley have crossed the Rocky Mountains at
South Pass, from there they hare gone via
obliged to rccross the mountains again in
order to reach Bannock or V1rginia cities,
the Headquarters Of tue mining district. We
have frequent arriyals at this place Of per-
sons from Idaho, and all agree Us to the vast
amount Of gold obtained and obtainable in
that country, most Of them bringing subtan-
tial proof Of what they say in regard to the
richness Of its gold deposits. Ne expect to
see during the coming season the heaviest
emigration to the mining districts that has
been witnessed tor many years. We learn
that there has largc amount Of snow fallen
| in the mountains during ths present winter.
Although this may cause some difficulty In
crossing streams III the early part Of the sea
son, It will be beneficial in furnishing water
| ard grass for the emigration
Tie fact that this point las been decided
| upon as the terminus of the Union Pacific
Railroad, has caused considerable specula.
tion in real estate In this city and In the inte-
rior. Omaha must soon become the most
| important point On the Missouri river.
It is not generally known IN the East what
[ vast amount Of merchandise is annually
frcightcd west from this point md from
places in our vicinity, The greater portion OF
| these goods coming from St. Louis, owing to
| the cheaper transportation from that place.
| The securing Of this trade, and the ct1ecting
Of an early connection with the Union Pacific
Railroad, Is worthy Of the attention OF the
business men Of Chicago. Upon the COM
pletion Of the Misaissippi and Missouri rail.
road from Grinuell to Council Bluffs, the
business Of this country Will so to Chicago.
Let Us see whether st. Lonis or Chicago will
succeed in obtaining the trade Of our mining
regions and the Pacific coast, ".

Preamble and Resolutions adopted b,
a unanimous vote OF the V4ckSbur:ss
NfI.E.. Union LcANuc. No. i.


At the recent leTec, Gen. Grant was OF
course the great attraction. Everybody was
bearing. Neither the President nor eny Of lfs
Cabinet, except Stanton, had ever seen him
before. He had never before been In the
White Houae. He was frequently cheered BY
the guests IN the East Room. Ac olushed
OF pcrspIratiou down his forehead and over
his face, The hot room and empr:xuSenf OF
the crowd and the excitement OF the occa-
sion sWelled every vein In his forehead. He
looked more like q SOLDIER In hard fight
than hero In drawing room. He bad lost
the keY OF his trunk, and so came to thu. lovee
In Ills rorgh and ready travelling uniform, a
good deal the worsc for wear, but, aftcr al,
H1,ite Characteristic He quite affects the
plain and bomcspun style Of doing things,
and acts 1t admirably, or. else be Is an ex-
trnordinary example OF unconscious 1resh-
ncss.
oEs. GRANT At sEwARD's DINNER. ::
At Stewards dinner General Grant made his
socla! debut In Washington, md delighted
everybody. He has great deal Of character
in face and manner-more Of this than what
NC call intellectually. His reserve is natr-
raj. His tendency Is reflective rather than
presses himself in action. 1t is In what he
does that one must aralyzc and know him.
&c discIoscs himself In no other way. He
has no other index. He has good eye and
strong face. He talked little at the dinner;
hut everything he said told.
11Sco1.S's JOKE ABOUT CHANTS NEW SWORD.
Just before Grants arrival, Representative
N-ashbnrne took to the White House hand
come sword, presented to General Grant BY
some admirers In Illinois, to show the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Lincoln '' Yes" said the Pre-
aident, ait is very pretty. II will do for .
Commander-in Chief" Old Abe then turned
to general officer present, and asked him u
he had had any sword presentation lately
