New Railroads in Nebraska.

During the past week Gov. Butler
and suit have been extensively en-
gagged I'm making excursions over and
examining new Railroads in Nebras-
ka. The Omaha and Northwestern,
Omaha and Southwestern, the Bur
lington and MissourirOa from Platts-
mouth, and Midland Pacific from Ne
braska City. Judging from the press
of these points, the roads have given
entire satisfaction in fact, have pass
ed muster. They will undoubtedly
b e -inside the land bill and receive the
Just reward for the energy of their
constructors. Omaha, Plattsmouth
and Nebraska City have labored faith
fully and persistently, early and late,
and will this season receive their re-
ward in the prosperity and thrift that
is a sure follower i'm the wake Of
railroad improvements.

Extra Session Of the Legislature.

The proclamation converting the
Legislature Of Nebraska in extra Ses-
sion has been issued by the Governor,
but has not reached us in official form
as we 90 to press. The Legislature
will meet on the 18th day of this
month. OF the exact provisions of
the proclamation, we are not posted.
The Governor informed US however,
that they would be as few as possible,
and the Legislature not held together
a minute longer than was actually
necessary to meet emergencies.

We learn that the Donation Party
20 Rev. L. F. Britt, Of the NJ. E.
Church Of London, Jan. Goth, was a
very pleasant affair, and II to be
long remembered by all who partici-
pated. A good supper was set out in
the school house, loaded with the best
the generous churchmen of that Sec
ton could provide; after enjoying
which, the assemblage adjourned to
the church. Mrs. A. H. Lillian then
came forward, and with a short adj
dress-coined from the e~loquence of a
good heart filled with love to aldo
mated a splendid quilt Mrs. L. F.
Britt responded. Elias Randall then
came forward and presented an over
coat TO the Pastor with n few remarks,
(Which the receiver responded. After
which a purse containing SIG was
placed in the hands of Rev. L. F.
Britt-a substantial and merited token
of the love Of the flock for their able
and eloquent shepherd. Rev. Mr..
Britt is certainly endearing himself to
the good people of London and vicin-
ity; and from the above and other
good works it has been our pleasure to
record of him, of late, is doing a mas
ter's work in the vineyard of the Lord.

Telegraphic Summary.
Gold Discovered in Clark County, Ill

Gold Discovered I'm Clark County, III.
TERRE HAUTE, IND, Feb. 4.-The
most intense excitement prevails in
Clark county, ILL.,, in consequence of
the discovery of gold on Big Greek,
about 20 miles from this city. A lately
returned Californian, a miner of eigh.
teen years experience, has been for
some days prospecting in the ravines
along the creeks, and in every hand
full of earth he has found gold in pay
ing quantities. The people of that
section are wild with the gold MANN,
and are leaving all other business to
search for the precious metal.

THE WHEEL is astonishing to see how
we'll a man may live on a small income, who
has a handy and industrious wife. Some
men live and make a far better appearance
on six or eight dollars q week, than others
does his part well, but his wife is good fol-
nothing. She will even upbraid her husband
for not living in as good style as his neigh
Dor, while the fault is entirely her own
His n~eighbor has a neat, capable and indus
trious wife, and makes the difference. His
wife, on the other hand, is q whirlpool, into
which a great many silver cups might be
thrown, and the appearance of he water
would remain unehanged.-NO Nicholas, the
diver, is there to restore the wasted treasure.
It is only an insult to talk to her husband
about love and devotion.

THE A IN CUBA.
A Great Victory For the Patriot Army.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The details of
the important battle of Nina de Juan
Rodiegres, between JordOn and Puel-
10, on New YEARS. day, are received.
According to the intelligence gather
ed, purely from American and Spanish
sources, the victory of the Cubans
was complete and decisive. The bat
tie was fought at the point above
named on n of the approaches to
GuarymarO, the Cuban seat of Govern
ment. 1t lasted all day and ended
with the retreat of Pueblo after a loss
of from 1900 to 1000 in killed, wOun-
ded and prisoners. The Cubans pur-
sued and harassed the flying columns
of the enemy until the latter reached
| Arroga HondO. where Pueblo en-
trenched himself and stood a siege of
fifteen days, sUfferingg great privatiOns,
killing horses and mules for food. The
approach of the Spanish column under
General Goyenche induced the Gu
bans to raise the seige, and Pueblo es-
capped with the remnants of his army
to the small seaport of BOga, where
the Spanish vessels moved it to Neu-
vitas.
A postscript adds a rumor that Gen.
Pueblo has been seized by the enraged
Spanish volunteers in Neuvitas, and
is q captive in their hands.

DEAR SIR:-You ask me about the
Virginia case, and 1 reply briefly.
President Grant superintendent the
adoption of her Constitution, and
called on us to admit her ut once, as
she had done every thing required by
Congress. The Senate Committee on
Judiciary reported such a Bill without
any additional conditions, as she had
ratified the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments of the Constitution of
the U. S., which was our final demand.
The House of Representatives passed
a Bill without any additional condi-
tiOns, and the Senate took it up for
action. Many amendments were pro-
posed, and I, with about twenty 9TH
er Republicans, voted against most of
them ; but when the question came
shall the Bill pass as amended-we
voted al" But just then Mr.. Sum-
Aer and Gen. Thayer refused to vote
for the amended Bill. The House
finally passed the Bill as amended
and so ] am on the record for the law,
and am denounced by somebody in
the Omaha Republican as misrepre-
senting Nebraska. Gen. Grant has
signed the act. Virginia is admitted.
Let the ass bray. Very truly,
T. w. Upton.

The rector, wardens, vestry, and parish of
st. Andrews, Hanover, Massachusetts, have
voted unanimously to lay aside the white
surplice, and to use only the black gown in
the services of that church. The reasons
assigned for this action are briefly: l. That
the use of the surplice is not in unison with
the simplicity of the Gospel dispensation,
being continuation of the priestly ephod
of the Jewish Church. 2. That there is .
settled purpose among some of the clergy
and laity Of the Episcopal Church to multi
ply priestly robes and pompous ceremonials
not required or authorized by the canons Of
the church, and opposed to the genius OF
our republican institutions-aganst which
they feel bound to protest. 3. They adopt
the gown as an appropriate ministerial gar
ment for Protestant minister. because it
has been used as such ever since the Re-
formation, and imparts gravity and de-
corum to the service, while it does not sane
tion the idea of priesthood in the Christian
ministry.
