The Herald on the sOldlers.

The Omaha Herald of the 20lh con-
tains an article on the persecution Of
der ocratic soldiers and officers, during
the late war by radical commanding Of
ficers. The editor of the herald ought
to know all about these things; be fol-
lowed the army in arkansas for sonle-
time, picking up little things left (4) by
the soldiers, and very kindly taking care
of the citizens, cotton for them. He
seems to have great admiration for Gen.
steel. We never saw a rebel in Arkan-
sas that did not. Gen. Hurlburt also
was in high esteem with them all, for as
we learned from a lady of Batesville,
for their goodness in allowing them to
purchase things prohibited by War De-
partment orders, to supply their friends
in the rebels.army with, and otherwise
aiding the rebellion. General Steel was
IN high favor with all the cotton thieves
in Arkansas, and we find that at least
one of them has soul enough to feel graf
full to him for the opportunities given
them. We admire DR.. Miller for his
fine redeeming features. We don't
blame him for praisiDg Gen. Steel, he
ought to do so. He manifests great dis
like for Gen. Livingston, so did all the
rebels we knew in Arkansas. He was
Just as lenient these as the army Regu-
lations and the circumstance would per-
nit, and no more so. Rebels could, do
nothing with him, but he fought and COM
manded for his country, and subordinate
officers got themselves into scrapes when
ever they attempted to shield either a
rebel or cotton thief, consequently all
the rebels and DR.. Miller hate him. and
the latter lets no opportunity for misrep-
reseLting him pass unimproved. The
herald says it spits upon the stereotyped
charge of its EDITORS eontempI for SOL
diers. but that does not remeve it. It
still sticks faster than wax. and has
been sterotyped by the gantleman him
self, by every act since he edited reb-

NEBRASKA,

The editorial correspondence Of the
Kansas State Journal, dated Nebraska
City, June 9th, contains the following:
Nebraska has population of about
$4,000. Its population in 1860 was
20, 900, showing a steady and very graf
flying increase. The inhabitants are in
dustrious, orderly and enterprising, COM
posed almost exclusively of the agricult-
ural classes. The reports in Agricul-
,ural Department at Washington shows
hat the farmers of Nebraska for 1865,
raised larger crops to the acre, and re-
ceived higher price per bushel for their
produce than an average Of three-fourths
of the States in the Union. As a grain
producing region it is unsurpassed. Both
fall and spring wheat is grown here with
success. Corn especially in the rich val
leys of L'eauqUicourt, the Platte, the
Weeping Water, the Nemaha, the Blue
and Salt Creek, yields abundantly, and
is always a sure crop. There has never
been a failure in crops from the first SET
Elements in 1854 to the present time.
A successful experience Of twelve years
has fully demonstrated the capacities Of
this Territory for grain growing. There
is abundance of paslurage for stock and
upon the rich and excellent prairie grass
es stock thrive finely, and the growing
of wool, and the raising Of cattle could
but be a very remunerative business
were it not for the considerably greater
time required to feed in the course of
the year than is required in more south
ern latitudes. The severe winter, the
piercing winds, the broader valleys and
crater amount of timber in latitndes fur
!her, south, will never allow Nebraska to
successfully compete with southern Kan
sas in growing wool and raising stock.
The eastern portion of the Territory,
for distance of $50 miles back from
the river, is capabel of supporting quite
a dense population. This comprises all
the really valuable lands in the Territory
MARKETS.
Nebraska will always possess a rea
sonably fair market for all snrDIns pro-
duce. Two or three different railroads
will in the course of the next three
years strike her eastern border. These
with the Missouri river and a line of
railway south to ST.. Joseph, Missouri,
furnishes excellent facilities for eastern
transportation, which. however, will
probably never be made available to any
considerable extent for the shipment of
exports, as there will always be awes-
tern demand for all surplus that Eebras-
ka can raise.

ka, II not the best, is better than a ma

has about 1000, and BrOwasyillel eboqt

his estimate of the population Of Brown

THE PROBABLE wARINEURoPF.

There will apparently be a conference
Of the EurOpen powers, but it is gener,
ally conceded that war is unavoidable,
This will no; seem strange to any one
who reflects that there is universal
wish in Europe to reconstruct The map,
as it is called. That can be dons only
by peaceful negotiations, or by war. But
what chance is there among the conaic-
ting CLAIMS, and hot passions and embi-
tiOus of the various powers, that har-
monious redistribution could be made
The wisest heads are clearly Of the opin-
ion that it is hopeless, aud that it may
not be possible to hold the dogs Of war
iu lash until the Congress dissOIves.
Meanwhile the number Of troops'On a
war footing is enormous. The Northern
Army of Austri alone under General
Benedek, upon the frontiers Of Prussia
and Saxony is composed of $50, 600 men
and 600 gnns. The Austrian force in
Venetia is 10000 men, while the Aus
trian reserve comprises 100000 men.
Venetia is being rapidly fortified. The
Italian Army will coutain more than
5000 meu, of whom 2s0,000 are al
readyln the first line, and are inspired
with the utmost enthusiasm. The Prus-
sian force is immense, and Europe is al.
ready q camp once more
There are two clemens which have NOT
been much considered, but which may
prove to be of great importance. These
are Russians and the Republicans. The
people Of Europe at this time would har-
dly allow the Struggle to be merely dy-
nastic combat. They would seize the

A numerous old man fell in with an
igorant and rather lmpertinent young
minister, who proceeded to inform the
old gentleman, in very positive terms,
that he could never reach heaven unless
be was born again, and added: Il have

You've knowed better than that, ever
since you've been comm to see me. |
wish had as good chance as you've
got"
Though Jake was a backwoodsman,
and they had the reputation of withstan-
ding everything, this last remark from
his fair companion brought deap color
to his swarthy cheek.
"Law! what makes you turn so red|
continued Nell, pointing her finger at
him, and laughing bewitchingly.
This made Jake only turn redder and
redder. He seemed TO be In the last
stage of embarrassment; he tried to
stammer out something, but could pro-
duce no sound that resembled word of
the English language. At last after he
had cooled off little, and got his tongue
and lips in woklng order once more, he
said:
"Mell | swon, you're too bad to ac-
cuse me of turnin' red I'm no redder'n
you Law did tell you what great
wolf hunt l had yesterdays"
No" she replied, with a sorrowful
look, which one might imagine was caus
ed by untimely change of the subject
No doubt she thought she was fetching
him to a point; and indeed it was time,
for he had been courting her for two
years, ard as yet had not got ready, been
willing, or found courage enough to pro-
pose Nell was willing, perhaps too
willing, and her patience was becoming
very much werried. She had tried to
pleas him in every way she could, but it
made no difference; and now, as last
resort, she had determined TO bring him
to the point at all hazards. After hsten-
Ing to g wonderful days adventures
among the wolves, to relate which took
Jake about two hours. and agreeing tha:
he had performed feats worthy of an In
dan, she began:
"Jake, you've been coming to see me
for long time"
"Yes," said he.
"We know one another we'll enough"
Yes % he exclaimed, somewhat sur
prised.
Then, any question you want to ak
me, III answer correctly"
"But 1 have nothing to ax,'' said Jake.
"What been comm to see me two
years, and don't want to ak me anything
yetf'
"Not as know on
"WelI, then. you needn't come again ="
said she, angrily. "I'll marry Bill Ba.
ker. if he ever comes to see ne again.
l sacked him for You, but it, is the last
time.'
Jake flew into passion, on hearing
Bill Bakers name mentioned-iumped
up, kicked the stool over, and broke home
like a racer.
Bill Baker soon heard the news, start
ed over to his sisters to put on his buck
skin suit, and Numbered for the neck of
woods" where Nell lived. He found
her as bright as eyer-put In his claim

and was directed to sax dad and man.
For some cause or other. the old folk
were not willing but Nell and Bill were
so they fixed upon plan to marry, any
how. Bill went secretly to Mr.. Isaac

like me better than Bill here, jisl say so
and III be darned if l don't give him q
thunderiu' thrashin', and take his license
and the Squire shall marry US with them
right away"
The old love was too strong for the
new: and Nell tolde Jake to "pitch in. ,
They both pitched in, and such fghl
as it was The brush broke, the dirt flew
the fists sounded, and skulls cracked in
such way that had one been within
fifty yards, he would have laken it for a
herd of bufaloes on a regular stampede.
After fighting all over the hazel patch
for about an hour, Bill cried enough.
"Give me the license, then" said Jake.
mo; darned If l don' was the reply;
aid at it they went again. This time
they fought so long, that Nell got uneasy
lest daylight should come before they
got to the Squirrels, which she knew
would put an end to her marrying that
day, as the Squire would want to be out
with his gun. However, after fighting
along the road near half mile, Bill
again cried enough.
"Give me the license p shoutsd Jake.
"No, unless you pay the dollar and
bit they cost me-"
mary time,' said Jake. beginning to
pitch into him again.
Feeling rather tired Of such sport,
Bill handed out the license. Jake thrust
them in his shot-pouch, and taking Nell
by the arm, said, Now, come on, old
gal-now for the Squire's."
They arrived at his Honor's about 8
o'clock in the morning, and Jake bawled
out, " Hellow r'
"Hellow yourself" said the Squire /;

ga couple what whants to marry" said
Jake.
"Come in," said the man of the people
who soon got all things ready for the
ceremony.
Whats yonr name 2" he asked.
Jake told him both their names, and
handed him the license.
"But these won't do" said The Squire,
after spelling at them some time "they
hain't got your name on 'em-ain't ac-
cordin' to law"

This was enough for the Squire, and,
without any more ado, he pronounced
them man and wife. and sent them home,
