TELEGRAPH

SATURDAY NOON'S DISPATCHES. INDIAN DELEGATION. rs WAR MINISTER. SOUTHERN RELIEF COMf . MITTEE, Ac. NEW YORK. Arrival or Maximilian's War Minis ter at Vera Cruz Veto of the e braska Bill Southern Keller Committee. New York, Jan. 2G. The Herald's Vera Cruz corresDondent savs: Maximilian's War Minister arrived there on the 15th en route for Europe. 1 he t rench, on arriving at rerote, took away the Austrian garrison, destroyed the upper works, spiked the guns they could not remove, and sacked several stores, and left for Puebla. The Herald's Washington special says: It has been stated on good authority that iu approving the bill authorizing the assembling of the 40th Congress on the 4th of March next, the President has contributed to his own impeachment, and the committee on the Judiciary are working very industriously in the collection of evidence, but will not report until the close of the session, and then the report will be in favor of imneachment. The task of offering the articles of im peachment will devolve upon the next Congress. The President's veto of the Nebraska Bill was finished yesterday, and will be sent to the Senate to-day. ; 1 The Times' Washington special says a letter was received in that city yesterday from a broker in New York, whose name and address can be furnished, and who is vouched for as reliable, charging that the sum of fifty thdusnnd dollars was subscribed in that city to induce the offering of the impeachment . resolutions in the House. The letter refers to one broker who admits having subscribed five' thousand dollars.' It does not appear that any money was ever paid. This may possibly explain the prematura announcement, in New lork, of the impeachment resolutions. There was a rumor afloat yesterday which is only worthy of mention that it may be denied, that the Assistant Secretary of State, Fred. Seward, is on his way to meet the vessel with Surratt on board. ; It is hardly necessary to add that his real business is the, purchase of a harber for our government in the West Indies, as has already been stated. The Times' Washington special say)? : . Mr. Boyer, Democratic member.' of the New Orleans Riot Committee, has summoned a large number of witnesses, and it is probable the report will not be ready before the end of the session. ' Speaker Colfax, who is suffering from sore throat, did not occupy the Chajr in the House during the night session. A large number of freedmen are being registered in Georgetown, D. C, under the suffrage act, and it is not improbable that the' radicals will carry the election. A larger number of whites were registered than ever before voted. The Judiciary Committee will report a bill to give the Government patronage only to loyal newspapers in the South. ' , .." , . v The President has thus far sent to theViSenate over four hundred civil nominations. !; ... ; The Herald's special says , the numerous frauds perpetrated on the pen sion bureau,- are receiving - thorough investigation Indictments have been found against a man named Tobias, in Albany, and J. Brenner has been convicted in New York. TJie Tribune's special says : The report that the Judiciary Committee are taking impeachment testimony, is without foundation. They are a waiting the movements of Ashley, who is arranging the data upon which the committee will proceed. The Horse Railroad men were before the Ways and Means Committee, yesterday, to get an extension of the provisions in the Internal Revenue law, which expires next April, allowing them to impose the additional tax upon passengers. The Gold bill still meets with opptv sition in the Senate Finance Committee. The Ways and Means Committee have determined, owing to the lateness o the session, not to report any bill reorganizing the Executive Departments. The World's special sava that Sec retary McCulloch contradicts the story that lie Has ceased, under the law, to continue to contract the currency at the rate of $4,000,000 per month. Gov. Cummings, of Colorado, now in Washington, opposes the admission of the Territory as a State at present. Every member of the Cabinet was present at a meeting yesterday, and, it ia uuucrsiuou, very important Dusiness was uuder consideration. At the Southern Relief meeting last night, resolutions were adopted that a commission of thirty men with power to add to the number, be appointed to raise money and distribute supplies among the destitute without distinction of race or opinion, and that the Shilanthropic women throughout the forth be invited to share in the re-

t-ponsibil.tieo and blessings of the work. A nmiiber of pictures and other properly Kclongiiig to Crosby, of the Opura-Hou?e, have been attached hern, at (he suit of John W. Cox, who cLim- that Crosby is indebted to him in the sum of nearly a thousand dollars for eoods sold him. The loss by the fire at Harratt & Shilling cotton warehouse last night is estimated at $500,000. -

ST. LOUIS. Indian Delegates to Washington City --Missouri Legislature, &c. ----- STL. LOUIS, Jan. 26.--The Indian delegates which left Kansas City yesterday for Washington, are representatives of the following tribes: Pottawottamies, Sacks [sic], Foxes, Kaws, Shawnees, Kickapoos, Ross, New York Indians, Quapans [sic], Senecas, Peoras [sic], Peankas, Haus and Kaskaskias. Delegations of the prairie bands of Pottawottamies and Delawares will arrive in a day or two and follow on to Washington. A portion of the Otta wa and Chippewa tribes have agreed, by treaty, to abandon tribal organizations and become citizens of Kansas. After a long and violent discussion the House yesterday adopted the Senate concurrent resolution approving Gov. Fletcher's action in suppressing outlawry in certain counties m this State, and condemning the attacks made on him, as having a tendency to create a spirit of hostility to civil authority. Noihing in the resolution, however, is to be construed as approving acts of violence committed by citizens or soldiers upon law-abiding people. The weather has turned very cold again. ---<>--- BALTIMORE, Jan. 26.--Gov. Swann was unanimously elected Senator yesterday, for six years. ===== CORRESPONDENCE. ----- Omaha and Nebraska. ----- OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 22, 1867. Editors Journal: In consequence of receiving many letters of old friends, at Evansville and vicinity, making inquiries in regard to Omaha and Nebraska, I ask the privilege of the columns of the JOURNAL for the purpose of giving them and others some reliable information in reference to this city and vicinity. I do not desire to exaggerate or to make any statements not reliable, by which any one may be induced to emigrate here, but I will simply state facts, and then leave them to determine for themselves. I know it is always advisable for persons desirous of emigrating to a new home, that they would first visit it and examine for themselves, but this is not always convenient, and always expensive. POPULATION, &c. Omaha is the starting point for the Union Pacific R. R., and now contains a population of nearly, or quite, 10,000 people, and rapidly increasing. There were some 600 or more houses erected here last season, and some that would be an ornament to any city. The location is fine, the streets wide, and when built up will make it one of the handsomest cities in the country. SOIL. The country in the vicinity of Omaba is a rolling prairie for six or seven miles. Beyond that the prairie becomes more level; the soil is of a superior quality, and easily cultivated. I have heard it remarked that a farmer could easily cultivate double, the quantity of land here, compared with Indiana, with the same labor. CLIMATE. Nebraska, I have no doubt, has the finest climate of any of the Northwestern States. The summers are cool and pleasant, while the winters, although generally cold, as must be expected in this latitude, yet they are not uncomfortably so. So far this winter the thermometer was never lower than 8 or 10 degrees below zero. We have had snow on the ground nearly all the time since the middle of December, and probably earlier, and consequently sleighing all the time. Very little or no rain. The changes are not so frequent here as in Indiana or further East, consequently we become accustomed to the cold, and do not feel it as much as in more Southern latitudes. One thing to be observed, in regard to this climate and the energy of the people, that, even now, in midwinter, buildings are being erected and finished, and we frequently notice out-door painting being done. This is seldom the ease in most Southeran [sic] latitudes. BUSINESS ADVANTAGES. Nearly every department of business is in a flourishing condition, although at this season of the year it is not so good. Up to this time, our trade has been principally by retail; but in future we look for a large jobbing business. This must be ap-

parent to every person who examines the map, in reference to our location, and the advantages that Omaha has for eventually becoming a large city. The Pacific Railroad is already completed over three hundred miles, and during the coming season will be extended three hundred or more miles West. We are the natural market for this entire country, to which must be added other portions of Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Dacota, Western Minnesota, and Iowa. Four different railroads from the East will make this place their terminus, in order to connect with the U. P. R. R. The Chicago and Northwestern railroad will be completed, and cars will run daily to Chicago before this letter reaches you. In addition to this, we have the advantages of the navigation of the Missouri in season, and surrounded by the most fertile country in the world. With all these advantages, can any one doubt the future of Omaha? One great disadvantage that we labor under here, is the scarcity of tim-

ber and absence of coal. This makes building and fencing material and fuel light, still this will in part be overcome by the completion of the Northwestern railroad. Yet, with all these fine prospects in regard to the future of this city, persons coming here will find that they have many difficulties to contend with. They will find rents high, houses scarce, and probably much inferior to what they have been accustomed to; but provisions, and most articles needed in a family, are very little higher than at Evansville. There will no doubt be double the number of buildings erected next season over last. The Union Pacific Railway Company will erect a freight and passenger depot, and a bridge will be built across the Missouri. A large number of fine business houses are already contracted for. The New School Presbyterian Church have already laid the foundation for their new edifice. The Episcopalians, German Methodists and Catholics will also erect churches for their congregations. The kind of emigrants most needed here are merchants with sufficient capital to go into the jobbing business, mechanics, laborers and farmers, although there are probably as many mechanics here as are needed at this season of the year, but as soon as Spring opens, there will be a constant demand for all kinds of mechanics and laborers at big wages. I do not believe that there is any portion of our country where a farmer could do better than in this immediate vicinity. Lands are very little improved, as yet, in the vicinity of Omaha, and can still be bought at reasonable prices. Those seeking clerkships of any kind should not think of coming here, for they are certain to be disappointed; still, there may occasionally be a successful one, but, as a general thing, it is difficult to get into a situation of that kind. But those who come here and are willing to take hold of anything and everything, and not afraid to work, and possessed of a great deal of energy and industry, will, sooner or later, succeed. The mechanic cannot fail, if blessed with health; and, if not, ought very soon to be restored to health, for this is, certainly, a healthy country. B. ---<>--- Governor Baker's Farewell to the Senate. Our correspondent on Saturday alluded in fitting terms to the scene in the Senate upon the vacation of the place of President of that body by Gov. Baker. We find the following in the official proceedings, which will be interesting to our readers. After the reading of Gov. MORTON'S message, the Lieutenant Governor said: (Mr. Cravens in the Chair.) With the indulgence of the Senate, I will ind say this communication admonishes me that the intimate and the pleasant relations heretofore existing between myself and the Senate are about to be severed. An adept in oratoric art would make this an occasion of interest, but as I possess no such powers I propose to make no formal address. Yet I would be doing violence to my own nature did I not express to the Senate the deep gratitude I feel for the kindness and courtesy with which I have been uniformly treated. I shall treasure this up to the latest period of my life. And now I beg leave to say to the Senate, farewell and to every individual Senator, God bless you. [Applause.] Mr. Bennett. In behalf of the Senator from Jefferson, Mr. Cravens, who is in the chair, I beg leave to offer the following resolution: <Resolved>, That the thanks of the Senate are hereby tendered to Lieut.

Governor Conrad Baker for the able, impartial and courteous manner in wh ch he has presided over the deliberations of the Senate, and that the

Senate does hereby congratulate him and the State on his accession to the Ch'ef Mag stracy of the State. Mr. Hantia. desire simply to second this e olu i n, as a member of the minority on this floor; for since I have been connected with political bodies I have never met with a presiding officer to whom I have felt more strongly attached than the gentleman who has just vacated the Chair. I regard him as a gentleman of eminent ability, distinguished courtesy, unbiased and impartial in his decision, and I desire to offer this little tribute to a model presiding officer. Mr Vawter. I ask for the yeas and nays . in . order that the record may show that the resolution was unanimously adopted. They were ordered, and, being taken, resulted yeas, 46; nays, 0. So the resolution was adopted. The Senate then elected Col. Will. Cumback its presiding officer, who, on taking the chair, made the following allusion to Gov. Baker: In accordance with the demand of the Constitution of our State, our distinguished presiding officer has just been called to the discharge of higher duties in a more extended field of usefulness. As the vote of the Senate, just taken, shows, we part from him with deep regret, and he carries with him our earnest and sincere regard. He wiill distinguish himself there, as he has done here, and we may congratulate ourselves and our constitents that the interests of this great State are in the hands of a man with a clear head and a pure heart. No man can be found in the State more worthy to receive the mantle of our.aisguished Governor than Conrad Baker." Q SZZX WARE. .ew Qucciiswarc House.
