Omaha called the A'tbraskian, and one at

the Nebrsskian says, and most likely from
Chapman's pen:
I lis (Chapman's) opponent, Judge
Ferguson, was holding his commission
from the United Stales, as Chief J ustice of
the Territory, at tho time of his nomina
tion and election."
The Washington Union nnd tho Cleve

the announcement of Chapmuns flection.
They received their information from tel
egraphic despatches from St. Louis, or
from some penny-a-liner correspondent,
who drove Chapman's team across the
stales, from Oberlin to Nebraska, with
Chapman, to run for Congress. Will the
Union and Plain Dealer do Justice lo the
settlers of Nebraska? will they do justice to
simple truth., and proclaim lo the world, the
v act, that Judge Ferguson is elected?
He received a majority of tho votes, lie
received the certificate of election. The
votes were counted by the board canvass
era, composed by Gov. Izard, who voted
for Ferguson; Judge Ulack, who voted for
Chapman; Gen. Eslabrook, who voted for
Chapman.

Our esteemed townsman, Silas A.
Strickland, tmblisher of the Gazette, and
member of the Unr, has removed lo the
residence of Chief Justice Ferguson and
Delegate elrct to Congress. Although
this building was among tho first erected
in this Territory, yet it is one of tho l ir
gest and most comfortable We are glad
to boo it occupied by one w ho has a butter
half so well fitted to grace it. Silus has
gono into the house of tho Chief Justice,
wo expect yel to see him in his office.
We notice that our friend Col. R. Love
joy the pioneer fanner of Nebraska is Mill
pursuing the even tenor of his way. His
farm, a little out of town, as well as his
city residence, afford ample evidence, not
that he is going to be, but that he w a per
muncnt resident among us. Mr. L. sue-
rifired friends and honors and came to this
pliire from the east, at an early day. The
first breaking team ever brought into the
Territory, was by him, and every one
knows that he has used it to good advan
tage.
We leurn thut the Mayor of tho city
George Jennings, intends to spend a few
weeks in the east, on some business con
netted with his coal mine. We wish him
success, and hopo for a speedy return,
bringing with him others possessed of the

While our Rank has suspended for a

Prosperity of Uellevue.
Amid ihe present panic that seems al
most universal, our city teems to be doing
better than we could reasonably expect.
To say that we are not at all affected by
the recent numerous failures, would be uu
true; but it is also true that we do not feel
the pressure as we had every reason to
expect. We do but speak the actual facts
in the case, when we bay thut Uellevue
presents as many signs of life and enter
prise at present, as at any period in its his
tory. We have more buildings in process
of erection, and those of a more substan
tial and expensive character, than al any
one period before.' Since our last issue,
several very respectable buildings have
been commenced, and some of them, if
we should judge from the many workmen
upon them, will soon be completed.
Large accessions of goods are rolled
upoo our levee, from almost every boat,
showing thut there must be some consu
mers somewhere.
Our enterprising merchant, L. U. Kin
ney, has just received a large assortment
of goods, making quite an addition to the
slock already on hand. Purchasers can
find no better stock of goods in the Terri
tory, nor prices any more moderate. Mr.
Kinney is the pioneer merchant of Ne
braska. The first stock of goods ever
landed at this wharf w as by him; this was
iii the fall of 1S-34. The Indian litle uot
yet being extinguished, the agent would
not allow him to open them; so he took
them to St. Marys. As soon as tho treaty
was signed, our pioneer Nebraska mer

History of Ilellevue An Indian
flattie.
We copy the following from the forth
coming work, upon the history of Uellevue
now in preparation by Rev, C C. Goss,
of this city
Just back of the Renton House, there
is to bo seen at the present time, an em
bankment of semi-circular form, upwards
of a quarter of a mile in length. . This
was cast up at a very early day, by the
Otoes, as a protection against their more
warlike brothers, the Osages. From its
present appearance, considering the long
period it has been standing, it must have
been of no small dimensions. It affords
us much pleasure to record the Indian
tradition of a great battle that occurred
here, before these natives had entirely
passed from our midst, and the tradition
lost. Away back in olden tune, or to use
their own expression, Theh-che-la tan-na
a very long time ago, a great battle
was fought between these two tribes, upon
the banks of a stream, now known us tho
Weeping Water. After a long and se
vere contest, the Osages came o(T victo
rious. This defeat so degraded the Otoes,
in their own estimation, and furthermore,
so embittered and dispirited were they,
by the bight of so many of iheir young
warriors that lay duad at their feet, that
they gave vent to their feelings for a long
time, in tears upon the banks of this river.
Since that period, this stream has been
known as the stream of tears the Weep
ing Water. Feeling as disconsolate, as
did the tribes of old, when they were
down by the cold streams of Babylon, they
summoned all the courage of which
their condition would allow, and retreated
north to the place mentioned. Here they
cast up the embankment, which is now
clearly visible, and within which, they
might gather, and be 6afely ensconced
from their warlike conquerors. It was
not theirs, however.long to remain in quiet.
The Osages, tlushed by their former suc
cess, were now seen crossing the Dune
and advancing towards the camp. Soon
the dead and wounded were lying in all
directions. As the battle waxed hotter
and hotter, the welkiu resounded with
the whoops and yells of the contestants.
The Otoes, seeing again, nothing but de
feat, bectme panic-struck. Wrought up
to the highest pitch of phrensy ond des
peration, they made a general stampede,
and in a short lime the Osages were seen
retreating 6outh, as leaves from a tree in
the windy days of autumn. . They were
persued across the Plalee, far into the
south, where they have since remained.
Here, then, in our own midst, is the
ba'tle ground where the contest between
the North and the South, was settled
where the Otoes of the North, repelled
and drove back the Osages of the South,
who made aggressions upon ihein. These
natives are fast disappearing from their
ancient homes; this embankment, the

They have five clergyman at different
points, with three church edifices in process

The Congregationalists have three or

one church edifice as yet completed, which
is at Omaha, of which Rev. Mr. Gaylord,
is pastor.
The Catholics have on organization at
St. Johns and a Triest to officiate. At
Omaha they have a church edifice, but no
organization.
The Episcopalians have regular service
at Omaha, Nebraska City and Florence,
but no settled clergyman or edifice. The
corner stone of one was laid, however, at
Omaha, by Bishop Lee of the Iowa Dio
cese, a few weeks since.
At Florence, the Uaptists have an or
ganization but no house of worship.

I believe, under the auspices of the Mis
sionary Uoord, preaches occasionally, but
has no church organization.

The Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany.
A very full meeting of the directors was
held at their office yesterday. The full
est investigation into the events which have
led to the present pause in the underta
king, into the insufficiency of the applian
ces for paying out the cable, and into the
additional arrangements and precautions
which the valuable knowledge and experi
ence gained by the late attempt will die
tate in respect lo future operations, has
been committed to the charge of sub-corn
mittees, appointed for the purpose, to re
port to the general board.
The directors will sit iu permanence un
til their future plans have been fully dis
cussed and determined on. The appeal
of the directors to the commanders of the
several ships composing the Atlantic Tel
eraphic squadron, to come forward and
aid the undertaking at this juncture, with
their advice and experience, has been cor
dially responded to, and the following of
ficers have arrived in town, and will be in
consultation with the directors this day:
Capt. Wainnght, Leopard; Capt. bands,
Susquehanna; Captain Hudson, Niagara;
Master Com. Noddall, Agamemnon, aud
Lieut. Dayman, Cyclops.
Sufficient information has already been
obtained to show clearly lhat the present
check to the progess of the work, however
mortifying, has been the result of an acci
dent, and is in no way due to any obstacle
in the form of the cable, nor of any natu
ral difficulty, nor of any experience that
will in the future affect in the slightest de
gree the entire succes of the enterprise.
The only sudden declivity of any serious
magnitude, from 410 falhoms to 1700
fathoms, had been safely overcome, the
beautiful flexibility of the cable havinc
rendered itself, without strain, to circum
stances which would probably have been
us ruin had it been more rigidly con
structed.
