Th I'alluilium is issued from Belie 'nw, a beautiful Sjot, bund the far oil wild of Nebraska issued in the very wake of heathen darkness, and we might utmost ray, in its midst. We have U.kcn joint possession with the tboriginul oceu juint of tlie soil. Our office is frequently iailed by the dark thildren of the forts, tnd prairie, whose curiosity prompt ihem to witness the operation of the to them incomprehensible art ly which thought is jrnlio!izfd, ar.d repeated in ever-Jur-igr forms on the printed Jge.

We hope our reuden wi.l excuse the !.te appearance of this number. We have been removing our office from St. Mary, n w hich account, we have fallen short o! ill regular lime for the issue of our ji jer, about three day and for the lame reitson, we shall issue f,o paper until a Htti from TucJ.'V next. TKi y.KGUYIRG IV M.EBAEKA. We wire born ai.d eJucuteJ in New England, an 1 we love her institutions, morig which, is that of appointing un an nual Tuam4soivi.no Dat. We hope this time-honored ordinance, will not be ovtr lcoked by llie Governor of Nebraska. A Piot latiiution from the Governor, for a J..V cf Thanksgiving, we doubt not, vruuld meet the warmest response from (he people. ST. XAKY.

There i a good steamboat ImJirjr on Vo'h side cf (,e rhcr at that, L03ATJ.0S or THK CfVlTOU T'r fj:r"-;'on coli'criiiu; the loo i'ior ie Capitol, seems !o It idl-absnrb'iijr I one that now pervades llie iniivls of the politic inns, and the people of Nebraska.- j The number of sites anvious to Secure its location, are six namely Ft, Kearny, l'liittsmouih, P.el'eview.Om du City, Flor ence fitid Ft. Caihoun. Fj ich of tlieso places has it friends atid advocates, and more or less hope of suc oss. The places occupying the most central position and having superior claims so far as posi'ioti is concerned, are Belleview and Omaha City. Bot ween these places, more than any others, the contest for the location is ttrot:g and sharp neither is expected to yield in the least to the o her. Of the two, we think Bellcv iew has claims to the location, which far outweigh those of the rival, that has spninp; upto seize the prize w hich nature designed for herself. Her claims to priority of settlement, and ol being a more uocassiblc oiut, we think cannol be ilispute 1. In the next place, it cannot b'1 disputed that i:s claims are su perior, when the grandeur at:d beauty of the site itself is taken into account. Wt claim for Belleview, the most central po sition the most extensive and bountiful site--',he best surrounding country the best steamboat laii.lit.g the most abund ant supply of wood, stone and other build ing materials. We claim also, (bat the location of the Capitol at Belleview, would be more sat isfactory to the people, than cither of the other points specified, and particularly Omaha City or Ft. Calhoun. A vole ol ihe people, would give either of the re maining points the jireft'erence over llie two last mentioned. Florence is a pret tier site for the Capitol, and has a better landing than Omaha City, so has Plalts moutli and Ft. Kearmy. In addition to the ad unlayrs of Belle view already enumerated, there is one. w hich, if it was not as favorably si.uated as it is in every other important point would recommend it. in ihe choice, (at least for the present,) of the Executive and the. Legislature Assembly. The ad vr.ntoges refcred to, arc suitable accom modations for the Legislative Assembly that is to be convened, which lire not to be found at o'her places, s: well as pros pective adv.iili.gcs, which others cannot claim. We are aware of the trying posi tion in which the Governor is placed, bir we hope he will prove himself compter! to decide this question in such a maimer, as to satisfy the just demands of the peo ple of this Territory, and to cam himself a reputation for disinterestedness, which shall enroll his name high in the niche o. honor, and shelter himself from the wi'h ering rebuke niih which the people wil visit him, if their interests cie sacrificed to his own. F.re in Olenwood. The store of Messrs. Nuckolls k Co., Glenwood, Iowa, was destroyed by fire, on the night of the I4:h instant. Tneori' gin of the fire is unknown, but supposed to have originated inside of the store. All of the Goods in the house, amounting to about seven lhouii.d dollars, w ere a total loss. Mr. Jj. Nuckolls and two Clerks, who were sleeping in the house at the lime, narrowly escaped with their lives, not even saving their clothes. There was an insuranceof $4,000 upon the house and Goods, in the Home Mutu al Insurance Company of St. Louis. We learn that our young friends Messrs. Nuckolls & Co.. will immediately erect a large and elegant store-house on the ruins. We exceedingly regret the loss sustain ed by our fiiterpriziiig friends, in the ca lamitous visitation with which they have been overtaken at this late season of the year, and hope those indebeted to them, will come forward, with becoming cheer- r,.t.,,.IU :.. i r. .. ,1...... ...I.. , I ri,. i j mem vviiai is uue. i lie fact that their books have been consumed, tnd that, in !ii..ny instances at least, there is nothing to show the amount of indebt edness, so f-r from releasing from the ob ligation to pay what is due, is a most sol emn reason why it should be honestly and promptly paid. ''Do vnta oliers an yu would that olherg should do uuto you," j"Hon. John Calhoun, Surveyor Gennrul cl NeLn t ku Li d lii-i si s, is l ow about to commence the survey of these Territories. It is to be commenced by running a base line on the 40 h parallel this being the dividing line between Ne braska and Kansas. After which a mer idian line will be lun through Neb aska and Kansas, from thirty to forty irIes West of the Eastern bound "y of these Territories. A soon as thesf- Inm are completed, the Eastern portion of the Territories are to be divided into town ships and sections as soon ai it can be done.

Having traveled exten sively in both, and tiiken great pains to ileeide this question for ourselves, we have concluded to offer, for the benefit of o'hors, the result of our investigations. In the fust place. Nebraska is about six timfs as larj;e as Ivinsa? containing about (iuO.000 .sipinre miles, or enough Territory for twelve first class States. and embraceing within its limits all the elements of wealth included within the Stu'es between this and the Atlantic ocean, and between Virginia and Maine. Here in all conscience is " Room enoitgh for all, Doom in the green wood if not ifi the hall." The most tlesirsble portion of the Ter ritories is adjoining the States of Iowa and Missouri, and until that is filled with the whites, ihere will be no sufficient in ducement to carry settlement far into the interior. In Nebraska, the Indian title lias been extinguished from the mouth of the Big Sioux river down to the South line, and about one hundred miles to the West. Within this district there will be but one small Indian reservation, and that one near the North line; so that I he settler rarsy secure locations along the line of Iowa and Missouri, and be perfectly se cure from theft and plunder by those poor i unfortunate beings. Not so in Kansas. I The best pnrt of that Territory is that along the Missouri river, below Fort Leavenworth, the lower valley of the Kansas river ar.d alon? the State line of Missouri, down to the Osage river. That part of the dis'rict between Fort Leav enworth and the Kansas river is reserved by treaty for the use of Ihe Delaware and Wyandot Indians, but notwithstanding this, about one thousand squatters have located upon it, and express a determina tion to maintain their claims at all haz-z:rds-. This is in violation of treaty stipulations and must bring '.hem into col lisiou witht'ie Government of the United Slates, end must bring trou'jle, loss and "confusion worse confounded.' Between the Kansas and the Osige rivers, the Shavvnees and a hulf dozen other trilies, have made (heir reservations adjoining the State of Missouri, and extending from river to river. From this, it will be seen that any settlement in this qu irtar, must be mads between the border Indian and the wild Indians of the plains, and will be subject to a thousand troubles that a civilized man never dreamed of, except those that have experience in the affairs of Indians, or the seven plagues of Egypt. What remain of Kansas is dotted with the reservations of the Iowus, Kiekapoos. Pottowdt'omies, Otocs, Miisotirias, Stc. &c. These are poor and unprofitable neighbors for the industrious and honest American pioneer; and we conclude is suf ficcut to influence his course when he starts upon his journey t a new country For the Palladium.! LOCATIOSf 0 THK CAPITOL Ma. EniToa: For the last twen'y years I have been an observer of movements of the people of various locations upon questions iuvolving their vital interests. and 1 have never yet known a whole com munity to join in calling upon their agents for iiifoumaiioti upon such a question, bu1 what they cither brought ii forth, or, made those who withheld it fear the force of their sovereign will. In my late 'rip lo the different part cf thib Territory I have seen the people M public gatherings, and I find that every man, woman and child anxiously inquiring ing "where will the first Li.-gis'laiive As- semb;y int e r" "w here is the Opiilol to be located:'" "Is it lo be at Omaha, Belle view, 1'Lltf.inou'hs, or Nebraska Ciiy?" All want to know where it is lo go, and ihey want to know now. Largo amounts of moniy are now being expended at these various ligations iu anticipation ol the Capitol. All but die, are chxinel to disappointment, mid U the hsi ot con siderable hUt.'i of money. Is it right In keep a whole community in such a 6tate of mspense, and thus wasting their time ant! money ? All would greatly prefer know ing now, So that they might frave their money, even if they should be compelled to retp a disappoint ment. ' A word to the w ise is sufficient;" and I hope by the next issue of t!,e "Palladi um," th-.t His Excellency, will give the people light. Yours, A SQUATTEIt. , Tas Omaha fcelaotioa. M-j. Hepner and the Omaha Chiefs have returned from U loway river coun try, w ither they had been to seek a loca tion for the Ouialus. Finding Ihe coun try in that region too poor oven for Indian to live i.-.; choice was finally made of a location at "Black-Bird Hi!!," at which placa they will he removed next prirg. Tha Omalua are now oa tLeir EQTTATTER tOYERRIOeTTT. We tnk the fellow ing ev'iaet from an ar'icle in 'he Cleveland Pl.indealor, cf the 2d inst. It takes a liberal, and we think a correct view of the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignly, and we think every enlightened ci izen of the United States, w ill hem lily commend the course of the Executive, in reducing to practice, th'8 fundament al principle of progressive de mocracy. The present position of thi territory, iu which it has been Providentially placed hy the lamented death of the Ii t Govern or Burt, present another oppori unity for a similar exhibition of the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty. The approaching election for members of the Legislature, and a delegate to Congress, will afford the people of this territory, a good opportuni ty for an expression of iheir wishes upon he question: "Who Shall dc Govfbmir or Nebraska?" So far as we can learn, we are not far lit hind, what Oregon was at that time, and he probability is, we shall soon exceed her in power and influence. Wc can see no reason, why our wishes should not be regarded, if made known at Washington. f was the. c:e then. The war that has been waged against he friends cf the bill, for the organization of the territory, he spent its force against this principle, and the Executive, standing upon the constitution of the country, has nobly sustained it, and no doubt, will do so in this case, and thereby, add another evidence of his devotion to liberty and the Constitution. We; do not know who would be the people's choice, but we do know that livo or three thousand voices from Nebraska, speaking for any high-toned Democrat, will secure his appointment. Wc are not aware that petitions have been circulate! by the people they intiy have been circulated by a party but the p."op'e' voice is yet to lie Ireard, and we iiojie the people's man will be appointed. " VYikm, nr. Kisg cit Ciivauifc? ' Who'll be Governor of Ncbraskar" This question is row pen ling among the pcop'e of the Weal and the before the Councils of the Nation. It will no doubt soon be answered by telegraph from Washington, and w isely loo we hope. The late exam ple set by the President in the recent ap pointments in Oregon gives u hope thai 'Squatter Sovereignty" will continue lo be as fully practised by the Administra tion as it has been faithfully preached by its friends. On the resignation of Gov. Lane, of Oregon, numerous applications were mjdc by friends of the most distinguished men in the States la till the vacancy. But the President and Cabinet thought it proper to wail and see who the people of Oregon wanted lo administer their Govt rninc-m. Although they had the power, ihey did not vvisii to exercise it in sending a stran ger from abroad to rule over the people of said Territory, contrary lo their wishes, and they did not. The people petitioned and their eri'ire appointments wore made from citizens of the Territory. That was right. Thai was le'ting the people rule. Thai is "Squatter Soverignty ." KZW MAIL fcOUTK. It will be seen by Ihe following letter from K. B. Lock wood, P.
