Several hundreds of the Mi- Janese were received at Venice by a large crowd with cries of “Vive I'Italia, Viva i fratelli Lom- bardi!’ At a grand promenade of gondolas given in honor of the Milanese, those in which Austrian officers and functionaries were seated were run against with great violence. Several of the gon- dolas also hoisted tri-colored flags. To the cries of “Viva I'Italia,” many of the crowd added, “A basso V'Austria!’ The Austrian police took no notice of what occurred, but this first pleasure train will be the last. An Austrian “corps of observation” is said to have been concentrated in the South of Hungary, in con- sequence of the events which have recently taken place in Turkey. It is said to consist of 30,000 men, and its object to be to protect the Austrian frontier against the chances of a general collision between the Museulman and Christian population of Turkey. Tt is also reported that Austria has demanded indem- nity for those of her citizens who have suffered by the civil war raging in the Turkish provinces.

The following harvest report is from Cork, Lre- land:—The sickle is already busy en all sides, and a truly golden harvest is falling beneath its stroke.

The yield of all produce is far nd the —s “ees best years Lg had isos time, e country may at len, congra' itself in the assurance that its trials are at an end.

The London Herald of tke 5th of August ob- serves:—The proportions of the whole emigration received pempectively by the Uuited States and by the settlements in ralia have latterly been re- versed, and our own colonies now receive an abso- lately larger number of British subjects, there to remain in their native allegiance, than do the United States, notwithstanding the preponderance of the lish emigration to the latter. And this is what we make bold to term the most gratifying deduction to be drawn from this report. Our own colonies are becoming more attractive to our surplus ulation than the so-called free States of the West.

Our Nebraska Correspendence, Fontensuts, Dodge County, N. T., t August 4, 1858, Adventures of a Nebraska Correspondent Upon the Great Platte Valley—A Family in Trouble—Tra- welling Under Difficulties— The Election, §c., §¢. Your readers have no doubt heard of the rich, fer- tile and beautiful valley of the Platte river,away out in Nebraska. To read of it and experience the trou bles of a four days’ journey thereon at this season of the year is two different things. In the first place, if you escape being eaten up by flies and musquitos you have to run your chance of death by drowning. This spring the waters have been higher than asual, and it was immediately after the rainy season—on last Thureday—I started on a tour up the Platte in company with a friend. He was on an electioneer- ng tour for himself as representative to the Terri- torial Legislature, whilst I was on a pleasure trip. He, I believe, is elected, whilst I found anything but pleasure. We had one horse hitched before a carriage. The first day we passed over some twenty-five miles of a high prairie road, just where the lands of the Platte Valley join with the bluff,or second table lands of the Platte. This brought us to a little log house, comfortable and nice, near the mouth of Shell creek, Here upon the valley of the Platte was the town of Buchanan. A stranger would want to be told there was a town site here to believe it. The, best crops of corn and wheat on the Platte valley we found here. About nine o'clock in the evening we started on our journey. This night travel was neces- sary to avoid the green headed fly that in swarms settled upon our horse, bleeding him quite cruelly. From Bachanan we journeyed on through the water and through the grass, passing well tilled farms half under water. Some six miles from the embryo town. of Buchanan we at twelve o'clock at night came to a stand still upon the bankof a ravine some forty feet wide, and how deep we could not imagine. Our horse was too for “gin out” to try the ford, and through the wet and mnd nearly hub deep to a little log house surrounded by water we wended our way. Driving up to the door and giving a salute, a woman's voice from within asked “what we wanted.” We told her we were unfortunate travellers—must stay there over night or take to the wet prairie for our night's lodging. -Her husband had gone and she could not think of letting us in, but after assuring us of our being married men, of good moral character, she coneladed to let us in. After wading around the stables getting our weary horse attended to, we waded back to the house and found our frontier landlady preparing « bunk on the floor for our be- nefit. There was, she said, four children besides herself, and all sick with the fever and ague. Husband bad gone to Omaha some four days ¥ and would not be home for four days more. Vhat firewood oe) she had to pick up afloat, anda man from the neighborhood, on horseback, attended to the stock. She was undergoing de- cidedly hard times; amongst the lighter trou- bles of the house, such as she classed amongst bed- bugs, fleas and musquitoes, the water, which nearly came to the floor, drove up innumerable snakes, and they had got into the habit of getting into the beds for protection against the wet. This, of course, was anything but pleasant, particularly when she was in the meantime preparing a bunk on the floor for us. It was about midnight when we coiled ve the hard floor with visions of snakes before us. I did not sleep much, and daybreak found os wading around the stable, our horse ready to push on. Again, by it, we attempted Salven and cout geo in the = tly selves ai general ' wet through. octal’ further, tevagt e wet and mud we came to another ford, full as deep and wide. Once safely on the other side our horse gave out, and after ing the Coy and pulling the horse, we succeeded in reaching in one mile a com — e obtained ‘another horse, and after break fast, on our Sr. » At noon we were in the thriving town of Colambus, bord the military road crossing the Loupe Fork, where, after restiny awhile, we proceeded on to the plenaantly located town of Cleveland, in Monroe con Adter a brief stay there, we returned, via Columbns, to our last night's quarters, where we stayed over night. Takin, our own home we Fae on the next morning throug! the wet and mud toward home. Fifteen miles travel and our horse gave out, and amid a wild thander storm we stop at a bachelor ranche. Early the next morning we journeyed on, and about noon reached the thriving town of Fre mont, where, at a widow lady's house, having ob: dinner ,we started on onr journey. After a hard siege along the maddy bad bottems of the Platte river, we reached Elk Horn valley about midnight, and this place just as day was breaking, ‘tray only a little upwards of two hundred miles in four days, and suffering all the borrora of the Platte valley.
