Correspondence of the Keperter.
7nuiun, March 1. 1674
Dksb KniToa:—Seeing nothing in your
moat valuable paper of Morgan county, i
thought a lew item* frvtu hare would not
he am it*. 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

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

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. Tho tiack along whichshewas
dragged, however, ** plainly visible ill

OUR AMERICAN WOMEN.
'Rev. J r Thompson to lbs Amsrloss I'hnpsl. Berlin.!
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.
