~ittcili!Tcncer &lauritat GEO.SANDERSON. EDITOR. I • LANCASTER, JULY 8,185,5 iliiaks..Governors Bigler and Pollock. The Know-Nothing press, in attempting to jus,ify Gov. Pouoces course in sanctioning theicharter and re:charter of so many banking insitutions, try hard to create the impression thai Gov. BIGLER was equally to blame. How - fa'r tth.s is true, may be inferred from the fact, that during the entire term of Gov. Bigler's administration but two new banks were brea tecti—the Bide City Bank, and the Warren County Bank. The former of - these - Wee to supply the place of the old Bank of Erie, which had gone out of existence; the other was in tended to meet the wants of that class of peo ple Who were largely engaged in the lumber ing business on the Allegheny river. 'The aggregate capital of these institutions is only two hundred thbusand dollars. In addition to these new banks, he also sanctioned the re charter office old banks; bat as these institu tions were all sound and solvent, and not ob jected to from any quarter, we think he was right in signing the bills. This is the extent of Gov. BIGLER'S approval of banks during his three year's administration. Now, letns see what his successor has done in the first year of his administration. Governor POLLOCK has already sanctioned the creation of EIGHT new banks, with an aggregate capital of over TWO MILLIONS ; and has also sanctioned the re-charter of ELEVEN old ones! At this rate of going, the three years of his administration will show an aggregate of twenty-four new banks with a capital of six millions, and the re-charter of thirty-three old ones—being about twelve times as many new ones, and nearly seven times us Many old ones, its were passed under Governor Iflit was wrong in Governor BIGLER to cre ate in three years two new banks and sanction the re4harter of fire old ones—it is a much greater wrong for Governor Por.Locx, in one year to create eight new banks and re-charter eleven old ones. These Know-Nothing editors will have to try dome other scheme for bolstering up the rotten policy of the present State Administra tion,! than to attempt the up-hill business of making' out Governor BIGLER a bank man equiilly with Governor POLLOCK. It 'Won't work. The peOple are too intelligent to be thus humbugged. Governor BIGLER was al wayS opposed to a wanton increase of the banking capital of the State. Ile so stated in all his messages, and carried out his profes sion by vetoing no less than eleven bank bills at one time I The Approaching Anniversary. view of the fact Una to-morrow will be the eeventy-ninth anniversary of American Independance, we have inserted, on our first page, the immortal Declaration, than which a move important political document was never 7, penned by mortal man. More than three fourths of a century has rolled around since, at th le south door of the old ,State House, in Philadelphia, Charles Thompson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, read aloud the great' 'document to the thousands who had asseMbled to hear it; and then and there, amid the ringing of bells, the booming /t ut otnn , M, and the shouts of the people, our foref4hers • proclaimed the • ttemeodow.ly solemn fact that their allegiance to the King of tirCat Britain was at an end, and that the thirteen Colon'e; were, from that day forivard, to be Considered free and independent States. And to show their earnestness in the cause of liberty, the sages who composed the Con gress, mutually pledged to each other their lives, 'their fortunes and their sacred honor, and subscribed their names, one tnd all, to the sacred instrument. t is meet that we, the descendants of the men of the Revolutior., now enjvitig the benefit of their suffet.ings anetoils in the cause iof down-tr , :aden and oppressed human ty, shOuld recal these scenes to our memories at every fitting opportunity. At least once a year, on every recurring Fouilli of July, should the people be called-upon to read the Declaration of Indepetdence.. Especially should they be asked to , punder well upon its precepts at this titne..in a secret, oath bound band of conspi re seeking to destroy the fair fabr lom, and ren der valueless and unmeaning the oft-repeated deolaration that our Heaven -favored country is the asylum for the oppressed of all na tions. One of the forcible charges made by the men of 76 against the British King was for "obstructing the laws for the naturaliza tion of filreigners" and "refusing to :pass others to encourage their migration hithei"— the identica4 course taken by the Know litrrt.ligs-ttl:the present day. But the dark lantern party go much farther than even the royal tyrant of England. In addition to in culcatiing the above quoted sentiments, they d whka he would not have dared to do, pros,citibe and persecute a certain class of our itizens on account of their religious belief .nd thus attempt ,to degrade them in the eyes of the world. But, we are digressing from what was in tended' when we commenced this article, and will close by recommending to the rt ,,,,tqul perusal of all our readers—Democratei%s and Know-Nothings,—the Declaration of In dependence, penned by the illustrious JR I / 4 r.- PERSON, and eloquently urged upon the at tention, of the Continental Congress by his no less distinguished compeer, the elder AnAus. The Savings' lmititution--Once More. In the last three weeks there have been colleen tively three large meetings of the stockholders and depositors of this Institution, at each of which they .......;.airatedely passed resolutions in favor of the Re 'S At andTroposition of the Trustees, aid in favor of rstarrt i ption. The trustees have been, in their Proposition, so fair, explicit and liberal, that every refleating per son, wha reads and consideri it carefully, must at epee be struck with its justice and liberality. All that the Trustees want is TlME—nothing more. If this is granted them by the Depositors, they feel con: 1 Silent of being able to pay every cent now due by, tits Institution, with interest added. We areno particular friend of Banks or the Banking systeth, as at present conducted ; but we are anxious to lee that course taken with this particular Institu ' tion, which will be attended with the least loss to 1 the Depo i sitors, many of whom are poor and depend ant. The Proposition of the Trustees is the only ifeasible one that clan be suggested to save the credit -1 ins and debtors of the Institution. Then let every I, Depositof come forward immediately and sign the : . agreement at the Banking House, or in a book which i. will be presented for that purpose. It ought to be clime Iwithout delay, as in a few da s it will be too late to save the Institution from bankruptcy. 'TEN. We direct attention to the advertise ment of C. W. Derby & Co., in another col umn. They offer strong inducements to young ling to undertake agencies for the sale men WI of book; 9ouiNG Caoe.—lntelligence from near -I,part of the Union speaks of the ap- MJ, harvest in the most favorable terms. s every prospect, indeed, that the yield an extraordinary one, for not only do s promise to he unusually fertile, but ber of acres . under cultivation is much an last year, most farmers having eater breadth of land. • 13 - WI 3 proachi There i will be the field the nu larger t 1 Xi‘ tik a I Valuable' Loss and Gain. In proportion, says the Washington -Uni on as the Democratic party has lost the disap z pointed and mischievous leaders, who, for some. years past, have been sowing dissensions its ranks, it has gained many of the best and: most gifted men in the;opposition. It is no ; discredit to such men as`these latter ths,it they should long have'born with the eccentricities of the Whig nianagers,..with - thek coalitions with abolitionism in the North, with Know- Nothingism in the Sicuth,.and with every fac tion and ism that has been exhaled from the excitements and controversies_ of the times.— There has been much in ,the name and in the history of the whig party to endear it4o thou sands of our countrymen ; and pride of opinion, as well as pride of character,' conspired to make it a difficult thing for men to separate from it. But the day of its greatness is over. It has been betrayed by its own leaders, and honest men will not consent to follow the, ex ample of blind and selfish guides. The record is full of instances calculated to repel all such men from the ranks which these guides still attempt to direct. The gradual abulitionizing of the whole northern whig party has been followed by the adoption of all the heresies of of the know-nothings. Every whig Catholic, every whig adopted citizen, every whig Pro testant not native,born, finds himiel'proscrib ed ; and turn where they may, they find no refuge open to them but thd democratic party. Never before has the genial and the generous policy of that party been more healthfully il lustrated, and never have truer and more -spontaneous tributes been paid to it by its former opponents. There is not a State of the Union in which hundreds of whigs have not openly enrolled themselves under its standard. That they are heartily weleome we need scarcely repeat ; and they are all the more ac ceptable because they more than compensate for the' desertion of ihose:who have gone into an organizatiou which all honest men despise. From Maine to Georgia the democracy has gained by th( loss of corrupt and reckless members; for however anxious all democrats are to see those who have been deluded by the blandishments of the secret order return to the arms of their old party, yet is there un broken and resolute unanimity to hold no in tercourse with the demagogues who have ta ken upon themselves the burdens of the order for selfish and revengeful purposes. These men have doomed themselves. They have chosen their lot in life, and must abide it.— Heretofore they have. sought to poison their party from within ; and by assuming to be democrats, have been enabled to do great harm. Hereafter they must stand' out, and take the fire like any other enemy. They will soon find that the organization they have tried to impair by secret t: etichery, and final le to destroy by open desertio . n, has grown great and strong from the very moment such incubii have been lifted from its bosom. tier The Cumberland Valley is the Agricul tural Eden of Pennsylvania, and Franklin county is the richest offering. Thei-'e is no other county in the State that is so peculiarly devoted to Agriculture, and in point of wealth, energy, intelligence and progress ' it is behind none other in the Commonwealth. We clip the above from a long editorial ar ticle in the Chambersburg Repository & TV urging the Farmers of Franklin counts to make :in effort to have the Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania established there. Wonder whether fi iend McClure has over heard of Lancaster county? We reckon not, or he would not rank Franklin county as num ber one in an Agricultural point of view. We freely admit that mach of Franklin is a rich territ,ory, (and a considerable slice of it north and vest of Chambersburg only so-so,) but it won't do to talk about it and Lancaster county in the same day. By the way, are our Farmers doing any thing towards bringing the High SchoOP to this county? We have heard of no movement :Is yet in reference to the subject. Gen. ,Tames Irvin, of Centre, proposes to give 250 acres of land, upon condition that the school should be located there; and Judge Miles, of Erie, has tendered 200 acres on the shore of the Lake, on like conditions. It is also said that the Commi-sioners of Dauphin County will offer a farm for the same purpose ; and a movement is also being made, as above stated, in Franklin county. The Committee of the Board of Trustees, named by the act of the Legislature establishing the School, consists of Governor Pollock, Judge Watts and Dr. El wyn. These gentlemen, we believe, are now on a tonr of observation in discharge of their duties. MR— Postmaster General Campbell, was ap plied to recently by the Postmaster, at York, Pa., to know whether a letter containing, as was supposed, counterfeit money, could be opened at the request of the police authorities, in order that the money contained therein utigh t be identified as the same as that passed by the prisoner, and that thus further evidence migin: be furnished to aid in his conviction and punishment. The Postmaster General replied, emphatically, that it could not; that he had no right, nor any officer under him, to open any letter until it reached the Dead-Letter Office, and that this principle must always be acted upon by those in the employment of the De partment. WH:10 STATE CONVENTION.—The few Whig papers that believe the old Whig party still jives, are making anxious inquiries after the Whig State Central Committee, and want to know whether there is to be any Whig State Convention this year. They express lively fears that the Committee has sold out the par ty to the Know-Nothings. The Washington Commonwealth says: " There is certainly something wrong some where ; our State tientral Committee is per fectly indifferent or has betrayed and sold the Whig I tarty. We should regret to believe that this ware true—but, judging from the appear ance 01' things, we can scarcely come to any other conclusion." To which the Lancaster Examiner adds, as though it spoke knowingly: -11 ie fears of the Commonwealth are doubt less too well founded. The administration and the State Central Committee have evidently been : guilty of treachery to the Whig party nut 'so !passed in infamy by that of John Tyler or Benedict Arnold. History will class them all in the same catalogue of traitors."

The C~latfrQ IYoifti sudBanth So faras thefeelingciftheKnow-Nothingpar ty of the North, in respect to . the Philadelphia ,platiormhas been developed through the Press and popular tieqopstrationFt, they ennui= mously apl empliatu sills repudiate any re - eagnitioiiiifthe rights of the South. Thep applaud the secession of the. representatives from-tie North, andheartily approve their pro test against the Nebraska Bill, and the "ag gressions of the slave power." Not one Know-Nothing journal of the least influence in the North, has yet endorsed the pretended platform of the majority. They all "spit upon" it with equal contempt and detesta tion. The Know-Nothings even in New Jer sey and Delaware, as is shown by the ex tracts in another column, inveigh against the Nebraska "iniquity," and clamor for the res toration of the Missouri restriction. In the first instance, the adoption of the platform was stoutly resisted by a popular majority of the Know-Nothing party, as re presented in the Philadelphia Council, and now we see it is rejected and repudiated by the unanimous voice of the Know-Nothing press of the North., In the South the plat form is scarcely more acceptable. If it is of fensive to the Know-Nothings of Ilse North because of its reluctant affirmation of the finality of the Nebraska bill, it is equally re pugnant to the sentiment of the South, by reason of its timid and equivocal opposition to the schemes of the abolitionists. Like the shield in the story with the double face, it provokes the resentment of the opposite fac tions of the Know-Nothing party, and in the end will inflame them t 8 violent conflict.— Richmond Enquirer. HORACE GREELEY IN JAIL.—The Philoso pher of the Tribune, who is now on a visit to Europe, we learn from one of his letters, was arrested in Paris, on the 21st utl, at the suit of a sculptor named Leclerc, who made a complaint against him as one of the Directors of the New York Crystal Palace Association. It seems that Leclerc had sent here a statue which he valued at 12,000 francs, and for this sum he brought a suit against Mr. Greeley.— He was arrested and takdn before the proper Court at about 4 P. M.,:on Saturday after noon, and there the parties agreed to take as bail for his appearance for trial, Mr. Piatt, the American Secretary of Legation. They then proceeded to the office of that gentleman, but when there the plaintiff tuddenly refused to take him as bail, on the ground that his offi cial station exempted him from arrest. Other security was offered but refused : :Mr. John Munroe proposed to pay the money as a guar antee; but this Mr. Greeley declined. prefer ring to go to jail. Accordingly he was con veyed to the Debtor's Prison of Clichy, where he remained till Monday afternoon, when a trial was had; and the tribunal dismissed the complaint and discharged the defendant. In this process Mr. Greeley enjoyed the advan tage of two day's experience in jail, and Mr. Leclerc the profit of paying the costs. Mr. Greeley made good use of his time while thus imprisoned. The Tribune of the 15th inst., con tains a letter of five columns length, dated in the prison, giving an amusing account if his arrest and his adventures in prison. VENANGO COtNTY.-TIIC Democrats of lie nango county held a meeting in Franklin, on the 18th ult., at which a series of excellent resolutions were adopted, expressive of their opposition to Know-Nothingism, and their unchangeable faith in DeThocratie Principles. The meeting was addressed by A. B. M'Cal. mont, Esq., of Pittsburg, Gen: T. S. Espy. of lowa, and James P. Hays. of Franklin. The following resolution was adopted by the Resulted, That we hereby request our del egates to the ensuing State Convention, to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of Hon. ARNOLD PLUMER for the office of Canal Commissioner,'" one who has neveipbowed the knee toBaT but remains, as he has ever been, the steadfast defender of the changeless truths of the democratic party. THE NEW-YORK HERALD'S ADVICE TO THE K. Ns.—The Herald has been striving - desper ately to make something out of the Know- Nothings, having as it says, taken them un der its srecial fr am:ton-hip. But it evidently begins to think that they are not very "apt scholars," and threatens to turn them out in the world to shift for themselves. In a late number it gives them the following pungent and wholesome advice : "Let them them abandon this scarecrow of the Pope of Rome, this raw-bead-and-bloody : bones of Jesuitism, this perilous folly of Catholic proscription, this tomfoolery of perse cution of the poor Irish, this mummeryof the amendment of rituals and third degrees, this clap-trap and blasphemy of dark-lanterns and horrid swearing, of blind obedience to hungry spoilsmen, and go to work like Americans, with a great purpose in hand, and declare it in the light of day. Let them open their doors and discuss the great issues of the cris• is, not like base conspirators in a cavern, but like hoi.o.at men before the world." A SLAVE BORN of A WHITE WOMAN FREED BY A' VIRGINIA COURT.—The Richmond En quirer gives the'following account of a very interesting base which has been decided In the Botetourt Circuit Court: "Eliza Crawford and five children, colored, suing for their freedom. The case was decid ed in favor of the plaintiffs; the evidence being full and complete that the chief plaintiff, Eli za, was born of a white woman of Georgia. She is now about thirty-five years of age, and has been in slavery between fifteen and twen ty years. Her appearance indicates that her father was a mixture of African and Indian. She is now the mother of six children, all of whom were plaintiffs, except the eldest, wit. never belonged to defendant, and who it is said, will now be set at liberty without re sistance. There was no evidence, how-ever, to show that the defendant was in any way privy to, or accountable for the injustice done plaintiffs." TO BUSINESS ME:l.—Advertise ! if you would ake a business—advertise: if you would in- crease your business It is one of the greatest secrets o: success. No man, whatever his abilities ; no mechanic however skilful ; no merchant however supe rior his wares, can expect to thrive in these days of competition and rivalry, unless he seizes upon the medium of the press to pub lish his claims to patronage.

Latterly the development •ef an extended railway system hai been tend ing to put us into a more intimate connection with all the mineral treasures of Pennsyka nia, and probably the time is , fast approaching, when, by means of the Pennsylvania, Sunbu ry and Erie, and North Pennsylvania Rail roads, and their branches, we shall make Phil adelphia the fiicus of the entire mineral trade of the State. As yet, the great Pennsylvania Central Railway has not done any coal busi ness ; but a beginning is about to be made by means of the connection opened with the Broad Top mines. These are said to be the most prolific, and promise,when fully worked, to increase very largely the coal trade of Phil adelphia. In quality the cal itself is de scribed as resembling that of the Cum berland mines, the product of which has, of late years, increased so • rapidly.— We do not apprehend that it can ever come into, serious competition in the same mar kets with our anthracite, for domestic put poses, but as the demand fur the latter has increased fir beyond the supply, in conse quence of the rapid multiplication of pe.iple, there is a fair field for our own bituminous and semi-bituminous coals to supply Metries, steamboats, etc. Practically these 'Broad Top mines are as near to tide water at Philadel phia as are those of Cumberland ui tidewater at Baltimore, and therefore the same reasons which have operated to swell the product of the Cumberland mines ought to cause an equal prosperity fur the trade of the Broad Top region. During the year 1853 the pro duct of the Cumberland mines was 533,980, and in 1854 the shipments exceeded 000,000 tons. The increase of this trade has no doubt been stimulated by the Baltimore mud Ohio Railroad for conveyance to market, ;is of the whole amount shipped from the regiwi in the year 1853, the railroad carried 376;220 tons. Up to the pre•ient time the Broad Top mine, have been without any railroad fialities, but as a railway from the mountain, to connect' ivith the Pennsylvania Central, is 11,,W nearly emipleted, we way expect a speedy develop. went of the wealth of the region.

CATEWLICS SND 'MC PUBLIC OFFICES.—The llon. John McKeon, of New York, wr-te a iett.er to his political friends in that city, w ho on Thursday week celebrated the elution of Mr. Wise - , from which we quote the fol lowing passage, as it sets tidith some fat . ; not generally known : "The supporters of the new movement (the know-nothings) pretend to have great ap prehensions of the i, tluence of Roman Cath olics. What ground is there for this fear? Have they monopolized the government of the nation, or of this State In the State of New York no Roman Catholic has held the office of governor, lieutenant governor, or any of the State offices at Albany. Not one has ever held the office of mayor of this city. "In the general government nut one of them front this State has ever held an office as the head of a department : not one has been member of the Senate from this State and but one of that ancient creed from this State has yet seen service as a member of the House of Representatives. No collector, naval officer, or surveyor in this city has ever belonged to that church ; no foreign minister selected front this State has ever been attached to that faith, and yet in this State the most numerous body of the Roman Catholic Church in the Union is to be found. How can there be any reason to charge that sect with undue influence, when a trace of their power is scarcely to be seen ?" Ilksav D. FOSTER.—This gentleman's nom ination by the Detnoei ats of Westmoreland county looks as though our friends out there were determined to win a triumph this year. If anybody can be elected in that county by a rousing majority, surely Mr. Foster can. He is one of the best lawyers in the State, and is a sound and stanch Democrat. With a few such men in the legislature for a year or two, the character of our State legislature would no doubt be improved. What is greatly need ed is.some well considered general laws that will render so much special and local legisht tion as we new have unnecessary. At the last session 684 bills were passed, and proba bly not one-twentieth of them were public laws. If Mr. Foster and a few more of his character and ability are elected we shall look for a cure of this evil.

LANCASTER LOCOMOTIVE WORKS.—We have several times referred to the superior class of locomotives manufactured at these works, which are under the superintendence of Mr. Brandt, whose experience and superior judg ment are well known in this State. We have also several times had occasion to notice the large trains that are hauled over the Colum bia road by the locomotives built at these works ; but within' the last few days the bur then trains that have been taken by the Bar (Mph and the Uncle Toby, have exceeded any before mentioned. The Bardolph hauled one hundred and jive cars and thelocle Toby one hundred and jam- ears, the heaviest trains ev er taken over the road. These facts show the superiority of the locomotives turned out at the Lancaster Works, as b)th the engines were made there, and recently put upon the road. EXPLOSION' or .1 LOCOMOTIVE IN COLUM lIIA— ONE MAN' KILLED.—A terrible explosiofv - t, the bui.er of the locomotive "Governor," took place on Friday morning on the railroad, in Coluinbia, which tore the engine to atoms, and instantly killed the engineer, Mr. George Zeigler. The fireman, who was on the tendp, :....j......mt-turvv-nra-nre is - despaired of. The tender, we learn, was also destroyed, but none'of the cars were much injured. The dome of the engine was blown over one hun dred feet in the air, and its other parts scat tered in every direction. The accident is sup posed to have occurred in consequence of a want of water in the boiler ; the flues, it is said, were heated to a.high heat. and the en gineer was in the act of pumping in cold wa ter at the time of the explosion. This is the first catastrophe of the kind that occurred on this road, although they have, in a number of instances taken place on other roads, and we hope it will be the last. Let ii he an effectual warning to Engineers, to keep eutettantly in their mind the state of the wa ter in their engines.—Daily LARGE Eoos.—We were presented , the other day, by our ind friend UEOII6E PETERS, Esq., of Lancas ter twynstrip, with two of the largest hen's eggs we have ever seen. The dimensions of the largest of the two is Si in girth by 7} ; the other measures 7: by 61 inches. The hen is f a mixed breed between a Shanghai and Cochin China. These eggs are a cu riosity in their way, and are hard to beat any where. ANOTHER !—A friend, residing in this city, on Sat. urday, exhibited to us a Shanghai egg of the follow ing dimensions and weight, viz : 8} inches in length, 6i in width, and weighing 4i ounces..

The murder seems to have been committed in a family quarrel. - TliE CROPS IN TENNESSEE.—Acc.rcIing to the Jackson, We.stTennesseeWhig. the recent rains have greatly assisted the crops in that region. The corn is much benefited, and the wheat is very fine. The Chattanooga, East Tennessee Gazette, says: "Our section of the country has never wit nessed a finer prospect for every production of the earth than at present. The wheat crop has never been better and mor,p abundant.— The Born crop, also, promises all that the most extrayugant and avaricious farmers could de sire, and the cotton fields are coming up nobly. FruitS of all kinds are in abundance—not a failure in one single particular that we know of." In Middle Tennessee the wheat and rye crops are the heaviest ever known. The corn crops is in fine condition, the oats crop luuks well, and the stand of cotton is also represent ed to be excellent. Indeed the prospect every where throughout Tennessee is full of encour agement. fl .The New York Herald, a Know-Noth ing pnp.er, putting the best possible face on the flitre up at Philadelphia, remarks that "the dangers are now known, and the shoals marked with buoys." The Times says: This is philosophical. "Faith," said the Irish jpilot, "and dont I know every rock in the Channel?"

In mirsuanee of the act of assembly, an act restrain the sale of intoxicating liquors, the Court adopted the following rules: 1. All applications for license under the said law, will be heard oethe fourth Mondays of March and September irs each year, having been previously advertised as required, when on the hearing of their applications and also for the renewal thereof, a statement in each case shall he exhibited, signed by at least ten respectable citizens of the Ward, Borough or Township, in which the petitioner resides, or sonic other evi , hence, showing that the petition er is n citizen of the United States, that he is of temperate habits, of. good repute for hones ty, well disposed to the good or-r of society, that he dape: not keep any hotel, inn • restaur:vAt, eatio, -• hotel other' place of entertainment, amusement or refresment, that a license ought to be ! , :ranted to the petitioner in order to pro mote the welfare of the citizens, and that there - are not already more licenses granted to to per sons living in such Ward, Borough, or Town ship than the public good requires.— Such 'petitions shall also 'set forth the numbet of lice rises granted in the said Ward, Borough nr Tw,vnship.

They offer, it says. extravagant wages, but work hands are not to be had. The difficulty does not seem to be Lhat laborers are lazy, or even scarce; but every one who goes there immediately sets up fir himself—becomes an employer, instead of n s•?eker of employment. The Vies asks: "Where are the thous ands of suffering poor who w ere making the streets and.parks of New York hideous, last winter, by their riotous howls for work? Let them come out here: we will give them work, as much as they desire. and wages for it, too, such as will soon place them above the miserable subsistence of soup house charity." The largest recent accessions to the popula Lion oi? Nebraska, are stated to have been from the States of Ohio and Pennsylvania, many citizens of which have either taken up their abode in Nebraska 'City, or located farms in its immediate vicinity.
