{ Sept. Is, 1878
| shall endeavor. in this letter, SO far
as am able, to give You brief sketch
of central and eastern Nebraska, and
the advancement therein made, during
the past ten years. Previous 70 the
commencement of the last decade
of years, Omaha and Nebraska
City we're the only Two towns of any inn
portance in the state. At these two
places, the miners, chiefly, obtain their
supplies; Immigrants stopped here, re-
ceiyed provisions and the trappers and
Indians sold their hides and received
their food this trade was what built and
kept up the towns. At this advanced
day no traveller need worry about civil
iZation III the west, for from the Mis-
souri, river to the Pacific Ocean, nearly
the whole country is dotted with happy
homesteads and thriving villages Ne
braska at this time is supplied with four
railroads, viz; L. p: b. Il NJ; Mid
land Pacific, and the st. Joe and Denver
City. There is also Il branch extending
from Omaha TO Platsmoutb. Several
new lines are proposed, some of which
will soon be built. One from Grand Is
land on the south, to the Niobrara on
the north has already an incorporated
company and stock is being taken Very
extensive forests, recently discovered, i'm
the country surrounding the Niobrara;
together with the numerous towns in
the intermediate counties is the cause
| of this road. The soil of Nebraska is
almost universally fertile, with sufficient
moisture to sustain vegetation. The
whole state slopes to the southeast at
the rate of seven feet per mile; the
drainage therefore is perfect. The
state is we'll supplied with streams, the
larger of which are the following Platte,
Elkhorn, Loup. with three large forks.
Niobrara, Big Blue, Little Blue, Beaver
Greek, Oak Greek, Prairie Greek and
Wood river. These are not all streams
by any means hut only those which |
have seen. The names of the towns and
cities in Nebraska east of the Tooth me-
| ridian are as follows: Omaha, Nebras-
ka City. Lincoln, Platsmouth, Crite. He

! of these are only Il year old, while some
wore started not more than four or five
months ago. Aside from the first three
mentioned they all contain population
varying from 80 to $500 Inhabitants.
Most of the Government land besides
some belonging to the railroad compl-
nies in this section is taken and under
cultivation. If immigration. continues
Nebraska will soon--in proportion to
her ability-be able to compete with any
state in the Union. -

A dispatch from Grand Island, Ne
braska, points to the probability of
great battle at an early day between the
hostile tribes of Pawnee and Sioux.
The camp of the former, it will be re-
membered, was attacked some weeks
ago by a superior force of the latter,
who, in the absence of the Pawnee war;
riors, massacred a great many squaws-
although the slaughter was not SO great
as to exterminate 1 900 out of $50 as the
editorial account of the affair published
by our weakly cotemporary, stated at
the time. The intelligence from Grand
Island now is that on the 11th inst. a
hand Of $50 Pawnee warriors were seen
In the neighborhood of that place going
in the direction Of the Sioux reservation.
They were well armed and mounted
and in full war paint. They said that
their tribe. which number 400, intend
ed to attack the Sioux. As the latter
comprise 1900, sanguinary conflict
may be expected if the tribes come to-
gether, as the Pawnees, although infer
ior in numbers. have the Indictment of
revenge to nerve their arms.
