Letter from the President Of the

DR.. Blackburn has shown US a letter
under date of Dec. 4, from President
Davis. Mr.. Smith, the Chief Engineer
of the road has removed his family from
Canada to Canton. He has great conf.
dence in the success of the road.
Mr.. Davis says his motto is that his
road "can, must and shall be built, and
the work must begin in the spring al
three places to-wit: at Quincy Bridge, at
BrOwnvi]le East and at Brownville
west"
He commends the people of Nemaha
County for their energy, and thinks if
any people in the world deserve a rall
road they do. So think we.
He sends a special invitation to our
Washington delegates to visit Canton,
and accept of his hospitality for a few
days to compare notes and arrange a pro-
gram.

A Trio to Lincoln.

A sudden and unexpected business
call started your correspondent in com.
pany with a friend to visit the prospec-
tive capital of Nebraska. Our chosen
route thither took US by way of Tecum-
sch, thence about west 35 north up the
main branch of the Nemaha, about twen-
ty-three miles, to Mr.. Gill's farm /; thence
leaving the Nemaha to the S. E. proceed
due north west over the ridge to the
east branch of Salt Creek !; thence north
about 30 c west, down said branch to the
capital city, distant from Gill's farm
about % miles. Making a distance of
about IS miles from Brownville. For
those who desire an easy road to travel
and who wish TO see the interior of Ne.
braska as it is represented in her agri-
cultural resources and developments, and
to observe how the western Yankees
gather abou! them, on the frontier the
comforts and enjOyments of civilized life,
and with what ingenuity they manage to
supply from the resources of nature the
essentials of domestic and social enjoy.

A half a days drive takes one 10 Te-
cumseh, where the Sherman House af.
fOrds very good accommodation for man
and beast. Thirteen miles up the Big
Nemaha brings the traveller to Bent's
Mill. A mile above Bent's is a good
bridge, which affords a choice of roads
on either side of the stream, for a dis
lance of about ten miles through the Ad-
ANS settlement in the north east corner
of Gage county, to Mr.. CLIPS farm,
where one will be entertained with ives.

Shocks of an earthquake, rapidly sue
ceeding each other, were felt at ST Tho
mas on the Doth of November one shock
lasted twenty minutes. The sea rose
sixty feet on the city and everything
was submerged. The loss of life was
enormous. Immense quantities of mer-
chandise were destroyed. The remain
ing inhabitants, houseless and destitute
fed to the mountains. Those that re-
main are striving by every means to leave
the island.
The destruction is incalculable at the
town of St. Thomas and also at TOabOla
and St. Croix. Little Saba is a horri-
bic volcano. and nearly burnt to ashes.
On the 18th ult., the shock Of an earth
quake was experienced at Santa Cruz
The shock was also felt to The north al
sea, the waters rising to a great height
and becoming very angry and tempestu-
Gus. The United States war steamer
Desoto was dashed ashore and broken tC
pieces. The crew, however, were al
saved. The Unitod States war steamer
Monongahela was also washed ashore
the same day at Contratown and is a to-
tai loss.
Later advice from St. Thomas, by tel
egraph, by way of Cuba, states that the
shocks of the earthquake had entirely

Congressional plan is to confer upon ne
grOes the privilege Of voting to the ex-
clusion Of the rebels, and says that ne
gro domination would be worse than mil
itarv despotism under which the rebel
States are now ruled. The President
persuades himself that the rebels will
endure any amount of military Oppres-
sion for any length of time, rather than
accept the reconstruction policy of Con-
gress. He charges Congress with com
handing the military to superintend the
clothing of the negro race with powert TO
govern white men. The President is of
the opinion that common humanity would
require US to place the negro under the
fostering care of Southern rebels. The
President says that it is the glory of the
white men that they have bull; up and
maintained a great political fabric for
ninety years on this Continent, but that
negroes never did anything of the kind,
and be don't like to see them try. He
thinks the ballot should be given to none
except rebels and those who are moral
ly and Intellectually fitted to use it well,
and the President finally concludes by
saying if argument will not induce Con-
gress to give up the policy of %recOnstruc-
ton thus far pursued, and adopt my
Policy" he thinks the late manifesto,
tons of public opinion as shown by the
elections just held, ought to be a good
reason for doing so, and if it does moi
then the President tells Congress that 81
have deliberated much and feel extreme
ly anxious to reach 4 proper conclusion
as to how far the duty Of the Presiden'
to protect and defend the Constitution
requires him to go in opposing an uneon'
stitutional act of Congress" He plain
ly tells Congress hat the reconstruction
acts are as ~palpably unconstitutional as
any be could imagine. Still, his conf
dence in the wisdom and virtue of thu
people seems not to have been misplaced
and laments that the rebels are not al
lowed to show their wisdom and virtue
through the use of the ballot.

On the contrary, the route we travelled
is all the way nearly as %levelas the bot
tom lands on the Nemaha. The scenery
and topography of the country along the
Salt Creek is very similar TO what they
are along the other streams. One dis
tinctive feature, however, is noticed, viz;
the abundance Of building stone, as IS
evidenced by the fact that nearly every
farmer has built, or is building a substan'
tial stone house. We saw several fine
large houses of this kind, and many evil
dences of thrift and industry among the
farmers. Indeed, from what we saw of
the improvements in Lancaster County,
we were constrained to form a very ia.
vorable opinion of her people, and be-
lieve she has many natural and superior
advantages.
As we approached the Capital, a change
is noticeable IN the features Of the land
scape, and the scenery assumes a differ
ent aspect, insomuch that the change or
break in the prairie view affords at least
a relief, if it is not really an improve.
ment. We approach the City from the
South. On our left from the west, comes
in the main branch of Salt Creek, while
nearer, on the left. from the south west,
comes the east branch, which we have
been following. From the north west
comes Oak Creek.
The country here seems to have been
formed at first with a purpose of making
aslarse reservoir. But the valley was
seooped out too shallow to hold the water
and it gradually pushes its way to the
Platte. But little timber is seen. Much
of it is said to have been cut off by the
salt makers. Yet the scenery is varied
and relieved 10 the view by the appear
ance Of two very pretty lakes; one ap,
parently covering about twenty acres
within about a mile west of the city, ant
the other about two miles in the sam
direction, and very much larger. We
were puzzled, however, by observing
that teams seemed to drive over them
and upon inquiry into the phenomena
were benignly and condescendingly in
formed that those we're not lakes, Blu
were the veritable Salt Basins. We fel
like making a very low bow, but thu
prospect Of seeing how nature made sal
melted to further investigation, of which
more anon. H.
