From Nebraska, P. W. Hitciicock, Rep., to succeed Senator Thayer. The Legislature is actively at work, receiviDg petitions, introducing and maturing bilis. So fr tho legislation has been mostly local and special, the important billa not having come in. We notice too great a disposition to amend flofliy lnw nn t.Ho öfnhifn Iwï.. parkajo we phould eay alter, for they rasy be altered without beiDg letteredt which is presumed by amendment. - Petitions are nuraerouj for a chair of Homeopathy in the University ; and Supervisors' resolutions alao, for a repeal of tho law establishing a County Suporintondent of Schools. Porter has oome out ahead at last, and a full-pledged Admiral. He W8g confirmod by tho Senate on Friday last, and can now utter with good reason that truisrn we remomber reading ia Webstek's old "Elementary Spelling Book" : "Friday is just as lucky a day as any oher."

The Prussian Bhot and nholl penotrate into the city ; dwellings, ohurches and other publio buildings are reported destroyed ; and women and childred killed in their beds. It is a tale of horror. When, will the end come ? Thk Tcunessee sailed from New York Tuesday ofternoon, with the San Do miogo Commissiouers, Secretary, assistant, reporters, attaches, and hangers-on. - Cungress having San Domingo off its haads for a few veek9, has turned its attention to further reconsti uction of tho Southern States - wbich wouldn't vote Republican.
