The location of Morgan county is almost in the centre of the state. It* cli mate, a* in central Missouri, generally it delightful, being subject to neither of the extremes of heat or cold. No portion of the state—or in fact the entire West—can lay claim to greater bealthfulness. Chills and lever*, the curse of new countries, are almost unknown here. Versailles, our county soat, is located on the dividing ridge between the Missouri and Ossage river*, and ie a flourishing town of twelve hundred inhabitant*. Morgan is not a first class agricultural county, although in portions we have very fins farming lands. About one fourth of our land is prairie, the rest is limbered. The prairie lands are good and produce abundant harvests. They are frequently broken by water courses, the bank* of which sre lined by • good growth of timber Tbe entire south ern part of the county is timbered and rougb. This portion abounds in minerals, consisting chiefly of lead and iron. In places the timber land make* most excel lent farming land. Wheat docs especial ly well, and some of the best farms in the county, are the rich bottoms of the Osege, Uravois and Moreau. Howeeer the great er portion of Morgan county ia well adapt ed tograxing. Although tba prairies are noerly all fenced, there are many thousand* of acre* of timbered land unfenced where grass grows luxuriantly. Here cattle roan the year round, and there are hut few days even in the coldest winter that that they do aot find something green to eat. Morgan county is well supplied with running wtcr, and mill seal* are nu merous. 1 have not seen a place in the Ur? West that has as fine and nuuiarou* water; ewers as Morgan county. Prom W <i to the Osage river lead abound* in ' ;/ every section. At the present w iltng, two Dies have been averaging fear thousand pound* for eaveral day* r : thin a mile of Versaiiles, and their pro*- sect i* getting belter. Lead ore sella at teirty twe dollars per thousand at the ground where it is dug. I feel as if my letter was long enough. I will merely say to those who desire to get rich, that good improved farms can be bought at from fifteen to twenty dollars per acre, accord ing to location and improvement*; unde veloped mineral land can be bougbt from three to eight dollar* per acre Yours, ScottStovxe. Formerly from Kebersburg, Pa. A rendered the Reporter, at Centre Hill, has lent us the following, with a request to insert it.- PKOTXST raosi * Pakmkr A writer in the Country Gentleman has some sound ideas in tha following .- It has often been a cause of regret to me in looking over the agricultural papers, to see so many complaints from farmers in regard to their business not paying. And that we quote or point to the merchant as an example of prosperity compared with ourselves, litlla thinking that if they pub lished their complainlsasfraely, we should find their papers and magazines overrun with accounts of failures. It is with farm ing. as with every thing else, "not the business that makes the man, but the man that makes tha business." Farmers, as a class, try to do too much It is one thing putting in n crop, and another thing tak ing care of it. I think that if we were to give the thought and labor to tha different crops they demand, our complaints would be far fewer than thay are. All tho pa trons of husbandry, all the clubs, all the agricultural papers in the country will not help us. If we do not try end belp our selves. So far ss I have observed, thoee uteri who do the most grumbling do the least work snd thinking.

Four UuuiimJ Million Acrca of Ar able Laud Open lor Settlor* —A New Hotnaalead Ltw to Oonwet the Abuaes of tbt Old Bjrttew. Washington. Feb 29.-The Committee osJPublic Lead* of the House of Repre sentatives, in a recent report say that the whole arable public land remaining, after deducting mountains, alkaline plains, sand and sag* deserts, swamp lands and shoal lands, railroad grant*, Jfcc., cannot exceed three hundred and fifty to four hundred million acre*. There were taken up by homestead entries alone last year nearly four million and as our population in creases this yearly amount will also in crease, and al so rapid a rate that in lea* than a century lb* whole arable land vf the Government will be absorbed by set tlers. Although it has here lb* beneficent intention of these preemption and home stead laws to afford cheap hemes to the people, yet both laws and especially that which allow* pieeniptioa, have been perverted from their original design and have been made the instruments whereby speculator* have ob tained Urge arras of land and hold them unimproved waiting until the neighboring improvements of industrious settlers may enhance their value and afford a|prvfilthle sale. In a limited degree the same abuses have grown up under the present home stead lew. To correct these abates,.to insure le eve ry one who wants it a home, to prevent frauds wa tha national Government, and to brirg under improvement the public lands, is the object of the bill reported by the committee. It repeals the preemption lows, except that it allows inchoate titles under them to be completed nccording to their provisions. It also substitutes for the present Homestead law all entirely new one, retaining all the best features of! the existiag law, and adding others that the experience of the working of that law seemed to require It does not interfere with the Soldiers' and .Sailors' Homestead law. Its new features areas follows: It requires actual settlement and cullivi cation fur five years which, on due proof thereof, the settler can obtain a title to 100 acre* of land, tha whole cost of which will < bcslUon entry of.the land, and $8 on final proof. If, however, the saltier wishes t obtain a title earlier than in five years, ha can do so at ths end of eighteen months on payment of the minimum price of the lend. Tb* bill exempts "pine lands," with mineral, coal, and heretofore' exempted, in order to sav • vast tracts of valuable pine timber to the Government, that are r.ew destroyed under the present lawi, without insuring settlement or culti vation. It extends to minor beirs, at the death of thair parents, the right to contin ue the parents' settlement with the consent of the guardian, and allows widows, after settlement and before entry, to make entry in their own name. It provides for the determination of controversies where two or more persons have settled on the same quarter section or smaller legal subdivi sian ; also that vacancies in the office of register or receiver shnll not prejudice claimants as to any matter necessary to the establishment of their claim. Among other provisions, it allows the purchase by cash of small tracts of forty acras for sites for mechanical, commercial or manu facturing purposes, after ene year's occu pancy thereof, and provides 'that all the United States {reserved (lands within the lateral limits of railroads shall be held at tho double minimum price of $2 50 per acre. AN EAGLE'S STRUGGLE WITH A GIRL. [From the Jacksonville (Ala. • Kepublcan.j j Ob Saturday, the 3d inat., a girl nauisdj Elizabeth Moore, daughter of Alberl| Moore, living in the northeast corner of Cleburne county, was returning home; from a neighbor's bouse, whither she had been tent on an erranj, when she felt smething heavy strike upon her shoulder,: and the next instant she was horns to thej ground. She says that her flrtl impression was that she had been seized by a panther or some other wild boast, but soon felt the talons of what proved to be an eagle; clutching her side* and arias, lacerating! tbe flesh in a fearful manner, ami with it* beak picking her on tho head, she Was dragged some distance on the ground. Pretty soon the eagle, having secured his prize, with claws and bill firmly fixed raised her from the ground, and sailed along at from three to four feet above the earth for some distance. Occasionally she was dropped on the ground, but tbe eagle would as often raise her agein, tuak . ing now and then serious wound* with bis talons in her body and his beak in her bead, till at last he reached the height of ten feet, and attempted to light a a limb of a red oak tree on the roadside, when hi* hold again gave way and the girl fell to the earth seriously stunned and hurt. She was unconcioui for a time, then clamber ed over the fence near by into her father's orchard and began making tbe best of her way to the house, near which she was met by her mother, who bad been attracted by her screams, and was hastening to her re lief. The most remarkable part of the matter is that the girl did not see the eagle at all. A shawl which had been securely fastened about her head, so as to project over her face, hid her rude antagonist from her view.

Kerr's!, billiard-rooui was first visited- The ladies , were well received, and sang and prayed, hut Karr refused to sign the pledge Mar selti a and Kritdlender's drinking places , were visited, but both ret used to sign the', pledge. The laJirs prayed and sang el M each place, kneeling on frightfully muddy pavements The saloon kept by Antoine , Chop pa, an Italian, was also visited, but Choppa, scenting the battle from alar, j hurriedly shut up shep and refused to be, seen Prayers were offered for him. It is, understood that the liquor dealer* held ; maeting last rughl and resolved to Ucal | the ladles courteously, but not to admit theui to the places. A prominent preach- i er of the city forced himself into the pio-11 cession this morning, thereby doing more | harm than good. At three o'clock p. tn. loU ladies renew ed the crueade against the liquor-sellers llefore the procession got one square frou. the church dense crowds ol curiosity seek I •rs, men, women, and children surround-': ed them. Making progress was almost I impossible. At several points on litgh i street, cetwithsiauding the utmost efforts < of the police the sidewalks were complete- ly jammed with a noisy and not very so- I lect crowd, it is highly probable that if i it had not been for the police it would I have been nccoasary to abandon anything I like visiting work. Kivc saloons were vis i i lied and the proprietors were talked and i prayed with, but no signatures to the . pledge were obtained. One Italian agreed l not to sell liquor after his present stock I was sold. At one saloon a crowd of men i made au attempt to drown the prayers and I singing by cheering, but they were sup- I prosed by the proprietors, who at first i • ere very defiant, but afterwards insisted that the ladies should be treated with re < •pert. The druggist* ol the city held a I meeting to-day to oontidcr the situation, i and twelve of them signed a pledge not to I sell or give awey any alccholic liquors ex cept for medicinal, chemical, mechanical, < or sacramental purpose*, and in either I case to parties personally known to the I druggist, or upon a physician's prcecrip- I tion. Those signing this pledge embrace I nearly all the prominent druggists of the ! city. At a prayer meeting this afternoon 1 the committee appointed to call en the General Aseembly relative to the move ment reported that they had interviewed several legislators, and ware told that be- < fore any special privileges to hold service* ' in the Slate House could be granted tbey < must knew just what service* would be held.

The position of women in the United States marks the high poeilion of the na j tion in the scale ef civilisation. With a large practical equality of privilege, and a healthy measure of independence, woman also retains her pretogalive of sex in the homage accorded her by courteey and honor. If. as Hurke lamented, the ago of] jchrivalry died out in Earopo with tho de cay of feudalism, it has revived with the new type of manhood in tho New World. I am awaie that "tha American girl' 1 is a phenomenon that puaales and startles Eu ropoan society by her independent ways, quite as much as she daxxles it by her beau ty of person. her grace of movement, her taslelul extravagance of dress. She has 100 much the reputation of being free, for-1 ward, "fast;" and I have sometimes blush ed to feel that this might 1 r deserved. The native go-ul sense of my country we j men sliould leecli thou) when abroad l< restrain the charming freed "in of their home life, in order no to shock the con ventiunal usages of European society Hut I look upon ilia American girl, taken all in all. as a proper subject tor thanksgiving! -ha can be trusted to go out alono by day ight, without the whole family guard turning out to protect her against innocent young men ; for through the very freedom which is allowed her, she is trained to lelf reliance and self-respect, and should any man presume to be familiar, she would not need the family guard to aid her in re pelling him in away that would forbid him ever to return. And the statistics of married life show that, on the score of so* cial virtue, we have reason to be thankful that in our country, the relation of the sexes in youth is based not upon suspicion and fear, but upon confidence and honor. The advance in education, both as to methods and to results. Is another token under this head that calls for devout thanksgiving. We lack yet a uniform law inaking attendance upon ptiuiHry schools co;i pulsory throughout the whole coun try ; and the debates and r|>orts of touch ers' associations and of educational con vention* show that those are tar from re garding our system as perfect or final.
