New Enterprises.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-Yo Your adver-
tisement for carders and spinners of
wool has reminded me that there is
a good opening in Columbus for a
new enterprise, viz: the carding and
spinning of wool by machinery aud
its manufacture into yarns and knit
goods of various kinds. Such
manufacture can be carried on with
a comparatively small amount OF
capital and very little machinery,
being another opening for dormant
labor, besides making a market at
home for the rapidly increasing
wool crop of Central Nebraska.
Where, then, are the would-be en-
terprising men of capital of COlum-
bus? Do they suppose that they
can bring their city back TO its for
mer prosperity by merely waiting
(Micawber like) for something to
turn up? If they do, they will be
sadly mistaken, for in all healthy
conditions of society demand and
supply are commensurate with each
other, and it will be time enough
when they have put their own shoul-
ders to the wheel for manufacturers
on6 aptiSano IN cnmo 70 tbo;r o-e;.,
ance. In this connection | would
call attention to the fact that citizens
Of Knox Co. are establishing a wool
en- factory, having procured the nee
essary machinery to 90 into opera
ton the coming spring, and for the
purpose of encouraging persons to
go into the raising of sheep in
section of country where there are
now comparatively few.
Again, where are our wool grow
ers p the Lords, Barker's, New
mans, Murray's and such men; are
they doing anything to promote
their OwR interests, and benefit the
communities in which they reside,
by combined efforts to establish a
market for their produce at home,
as well as to improve the grades of
their flocks? or is each one travel
ing his own road regardless of the
fact that i'm union there is strength,
and when so combined, even though
they may be compelled to seek a
distant market, they can command
better freight terms than under ex-
listing circumstances.
Again, is Columbus doing any
thing to promote the growth OF Flax
and its products Hundreds OF
tons of straw are rotting in the fields
for want of capital and energy to
turn it into ropes, cordage, and pa
per, articles of every day demand
aud for which we are constantly
sendlng money out OF the country
which might and should be spent al
home. Even the seed has no market
here, but is bought by distant man
ufacturers through their agents
whose commissions as well as the
freight paid to the railroads for car
rying il to its destination must both
be deducted from the price which
would be received by the grower
had he permanent market at home. |
1t is high time that the citizens Of |
Columbus were being aroused to the
necessity of action if they would not |
see their neighbors outstrip them in
the race, and their city remanded to |
the position of country village.
Yours, Ex-MANUFACTURER

LincoIn Correspondence.
= LINCOLN, Dec. 81. 1850.

LINCOLN, Dec. 81, 1850.
The cold weather has moderated
some W hat, although the average cit
izen cannot yet complain of suffering
| intense heat.
The snow gives an opportunity
for sleighing that is turned to ad-
vantage by everybody, from the man
who owns costly cutter, and drives
a handsome pair of trotters TO the
"jingling of the BELLS" down to the
little urchin with his gentle pony
between two long sticks fastened
under stOre-box, and the gentle
beast guided by stout twine string.
What is it in Nebraska that makes
the lads and the lasses so brusquely
independent, SO ingenious? Is it
our extended horizon, which is only
limited by the natural power of the
eye is it the soil, out OF which comes
no malaria, or is it the bounteous
free air of the Nebraska heavens
Whatever it may be, let us be thank
full, and hope that these bright-eyed,
rosy checked boys and girls may
grow up to be clear-brained and
e-hearted men aud women. |
sometimes think that we elders Gas
President Hayes might phrase i)
"forget what we should never fail
to remember" that upon these is the
hope of the country, and we should
give them more of our time and at
tention, to the end that they may be
better than we.
Lincoln is lively town. The
cold weather of course has stopped
nearly all outside work on build
ings, but plastering goes OH all the
same, and rybody keeps busy.
The state and the nation have done
a great deal for the city in the way
of appropriations for public build
ings, and from the whisperings
hear, now and again, another apprO-
priatiOn will be asked of the legis-
lature TO complete the capitol build
ing, the erection of ga wing" to
which was provided for by the last
Legislature. 1t seems to me that the
State can afford 10 wait at least an
other two years. hear none speak
of the matter but say that "BOss"
Stout, the contractor, will lose mon
ey on this deal. At rough guess,
however, | should say that his
profits from the State have exceeded
the losses so much that sympathy on
his account would not be very be-
coming to those who foot the bills.
Members elect and claimants to
seats are arriving every day, and
the senatorial pot is beginning to
simmer. From present appearances
everything points to Senator Pad
dock as his own successor. Some
have considered Gov. Nance as Mr..
PaddOck's chief contestant for sena-
torial honors, but | am assured BY
friends of both that the Governor is
sfrOpgl for DalIncE onA "a hip,aolf
not a candidate at all. 1t may be
safely written that if the Governor
is a candidate he will be elected, or,
as his opponents put it, he will not
be a candidate unless he is sure of
making it.
The Commercial House will be
headquarters for the lobbyists. Ev-
erything there in the new part of
their building is topsy-turvy, but
they are hard at work setting things
to rights.
Candidates for clerical and other
positions in the Senate and House
are here in force, pressing their
claims. As only one person can be
chosen, it is saddening to think of
the total amount of disappointment
and chagrin there will be, for the
number is legion.

caught Dunn by the whiskers and
slapped his face, whereupon he drew

ran and a crowd followed him head
