Correspondence of the Journal.

FOREST CITY, Nebraska, Sept. 20, 1866.
Mr.. EDIToR:-As we pect to have Ne
braska admitted as State at the next ses-
sion OF Congress, thought that your read
ers might, perhaps, feel some interest as TO
the condition and prospects of this section
OF country Emigration has been pouring
In rapidly during the past summer and there
seems to be rather an increase than an abate
ment of the same as winter approaches.
The resources of the Territory are being
rapidly developed, not only In an agricultural
point of view, but recently bed of anthra-
cite coal has been discovered near Nebraska
city, and also near Fremont on the L. 7.
Railroad. The thickness of the vein / can
not state. Whilst timber is not as plenty
here as it is in your region, the erection of a
steam saw-mill, at Forest city, is a fact not
to be lightly overlooked The work on the
| Union Pacific Railroad is being vigorously
pushed forward, and already nearly two
hundred miles of the Road are completed.
Wages are high here. Mechanics get from
S4 to Sc per day, and laborers from $3.50
to So so.
The corn is all husked and cribbed. The
expenses of raising corn, per acre, is as fol
lows Flowing ground 81. 50; scoring, g!
cents; planting, $3.50; cultivating and
plowing, four times, So; husking and crib
bing, S4; seed, 10 cents; total cost per
acre, $1,000 Average yield, 60 bushels per
acre, which, at 40 cents would be S24. Net
profit, $1340. The above is the cost for
hand planting and furrow plowing. For
large farms the horse planter and double
row plow are great improvement, and re-
duce the expenses materially, and hence an
increase in the net profit and land rent.
1t seems that Copperheadism met with a
grand defeat in old Pennsylg lgania, and that
Hester Clymer took deck passage on that
rickety craft, Andy johnson" for the
head waters of Salt River, where he vii
spend the remainder of his days in carving
niggerheads as souvenirs for his dear rebe
brethren in the South. 1t would also ap
pear from the returns Of the late election:
throughout the United States, that Presi
dent johnson has swung clear out of the
circle fand that the bread and butter
brigade is bobbing afterits Moses. Poo
fellows let them rest beneath their infam,
forevermore, and lull themselves TO sleel
with their favorite chant-the niggah!
Yours with respect, PILGRIM.

A RELIC OF BARBARIsM-It seems that
the whipping post is not abolished-that
the practice still prevails of skinning man s
back for the theft of few dollars worth of
property. On Nov. 18th, five white men
and one negro were fogged at Richmond,
Virginia, by order of the Hastings Court,
on conviction of petty larceny; the first in
stance for many years of the infiction OF
stripes on white men by Judicial sentence.
There would be more hope for the regenera-
tion and civilization of the Old Dominion
if it could be given as the last of such bar
barous practices

In Paris there has been formed a much
needed Humane Society for the protection
of infants. 1t is calculated that fifteen
thousand children die every year in the
neighborhood of Paris for want of proper
care, and one hundred thousand in the whole
of France. This is in great part due to the
habit of putting children out to nurse where
they are neglected and abused
