sumo the neglected correspondence My
time for the last month was so completely
and unavoidably occupied by labor, physi

that should, for want of time, temper
arily abandon the correspondence. |

will with your kind indulgence, endeavor
to be more prompt hereafter in furnishing
you items of the doings in and about
Omaha
The usual quietness of our city was
somewhat disturbed yesterday, by the
arrival of the Russian Grand Duke. A
reception was prepared for him, and was
| rendered. not with the empty hollowness
of ostentatious display; but with IA spirit
of hospitable greetings, truly American,
vet none the less heartfelt and sincere.
| Our poet sang him song of welcome,
and no truer or more Characteristic eX
preston of genuine respect could he have
uttered, than is set forth in the following
lines
1--WE give thee state and pay thee no hom-
| age,
We bend thy presence supplicant knee,
Fol freeman's devotion is pledg but to Heaven,
Il And tyranny's fed from this land of the free
But quick from hearts hat fearless and
lloyd,
Leaps up the glad greetings give To friend,
Aud our prayers hall ascend neither waning nor
eeasiug;
| That Heaven Thy future may ever defend
