In visiting this unorganized territory,
upon which there is now so much dispute,
"we must first go by any route we chose
to the citv of bt. Louis. Here will take
a steamboat and float for hundreds
of
1
miles to the mouth of the Kansas river
"We land here, and are in the region call
ed Nebraska. If we were pleased to take
another rteamboat, we could go up the
Kansas river, or nearly west, towards the
interior.
But let us prefer ratherto continue our
voyage up the Missouri, still by steam
boat, for some 'hundreds of miles. We
are now at the mouth of Platte river, or
the Nebraska, which means, "Shallow
Bottom." It is rightly named, for though
it is from one to three miles wide, it is
generally very shallow, and steamboats
pass up its waters for only forty miles.
By this river Col. Fremont passed much
of the way, on his route to California and
Oregon in 1842. In his journals of his
two expeditions, there, is, probably, more
information on Nebraska than can be ob
tained from all other books.
We find Nebraska to be a vast region.
By -the late census it isestimated at 136,
700 square miles, or a region as large as
N. England, N.York, New Jersey, Dela
ware and Maryland, and even larger. If
organized as proposed by the bill of Mr. c
JUOUglas, now penuing ill V-ongress, il win
be larger still, as it will embrace mucb of
what has been known as the Iudian Ter
ritory. We find the Northern part of Nebras
ka as cold as New England; the interior
as cold as the climate of the middle States,
and southern portion with something of j
the mildness of Virginia. There is, how- i
ever, this difference; Nebraska is more j
There are vast prairies, high table lands
thousands of miles above the level of tho

On the west it is bounded by the Kocky ;
