A correspondent iu Nebraska says: A few days since wo received a letter from a friend al tho East, making inqui ries, in regar'l lo our Torriiory, from which wo clip the following questions, and append Iho Hiiswcrs: Wo havo been in Nebraska but n short timo, anil our knowledge being gomawhut limited, we hope duo allowance will made lor any mis statements. "What kind of country do you livo in?" Mixed and extensive It is made up principally of laud and water. "What kind of weather?" Long spells of woalher are frequent. Our sunshine comes off principally du during - ring during the daytime. "Have you plenty of wntor, and how golf . A good deal of water scattered about, and generally got in pads aud whisky. "Is it hard?" Rather so, when you have to go a half a mile, and wade in mud knee deep to it. "What kind of buildings?" Allegoric, Ionic, Anu Balorio, Long and Slabs. Tho buildings are chiefly or doors and so low bolween joints that Ihe chimneys all stick out through roof. "What kind of society?" Good, bad, hateful, iudiffereut mixed. "Any Aristocracy?" Nary one. "What do your people do for a living, mostly?" Some work, some laze around; one's shrewd business manager, aud Several drink whisky. "Is it cheap living there?" - Only five cent a glass aud the water thrown in. "Anv taste for music?" Strong. Buzz and buck-saws in daytime, and wolf howling and cat fight ing nights. "Anv nianos there? No, bul we have se eral cow bulls, a tin pan in every family, "Any manufacturers?" Every household. All our children home productions. "What could a tronteol family in mod erate circumstances do there for a iiiL'?" Work, shave notes, fish, hunt steal, if hard pinched, buy and sell town prop erty.
In or nrT hit Ur T ttia Co., llonn Tun. Ticbunk: Will you permit me through the columua cf your valuable pa per, to make a few remarks in regarc this great Western country, My trip this great plnee was, indeed, a tiresome o.ie, as the frcrjuont rains had overflowed nil the streams, making the roads elmost impassable. I loft Iowa City, for this place the first week in August, and was four days and nights in an open WAgon which thoy call a Stage in reaching this placo. Bridges were all gone, and all tho low lands completely inundated with water. Boats ate iu readiness at river banks, and tho passengers and bag bag-gago - gago bag-gago are transferred to tho stago on other side,' which carries you to the next river or creik, and then tho same is performed. Ib many instances tassciigors are compelled to work iu mud and water up. to their knees; (we presume our correspondent meaus ankles. Ed.) I have soen hundreds of emigrants, at river waiting to cross. There are teams stationed at those places to haul wagons across, and men and women as general thing, wado after the wagons. Now is a fact, and Benjamin Tomb, who I the good luck to see, will tell you same. But, regardless of all these hard ships, the road from Iowa City westward, is one complete string of teams; loads goods, emigrants, pedlars and stages, so thick that in many places I have count ed as high as two hundred. It is continual throng of wagons, all destiued for the West. Whon they . reaoh tired and sore, you ask them where are going: "oh, to Ncbrabki, Kansas Utah." Land is cheaper in Iowa now, than has been for years. Persons who want get 4 home cheap, now ts the time them to come. Times are very hard now; money as Bcarce as h.on-toeth.
