From Nebraska.
Leavenworth, May 16. The people of southern Nebraska are earnestly agitating the. annex ition of so much of that territory as lies . .. h of the Platte river. Thi will secure its admission into the Union at the next session of Congress. 'Fhe public entiment in that portion of the territory strongly favors the proposed annexation, and it was recently resolved in mass convention at Nebraska city, to nominate deleg ites to he Kansas Constitutional convention, which assembles at Wyandotte, in Julv. The delegation will undoubtedly be admitted into the convention. It is probable that in defining the boundaries of Kansas, the Platte will be designated as its northern line.
